I remember the day we went to pick up Eddie from the RSPCA I was eleven and he was two and I thought he was beautiful.
What had attractive us to him, was how quiet he was. In a enclsoure full of barking dogs, he was the only one sat quietly wagging his tail. We took him home and soon we realised we were all wrong. He was a terror! He was terrible for yapping all day and trying to fight the other dog. He tore things up, he would get into the 25kg bag of dog food make himself ill trying to eat the whole thing. He malted and because he was so short, his belly got muddy on walks. He could not heel and would spend the entire outing choking on the lead, and because he couldn't pace himself he would just stop suddenly and have to be carried home.
I almost forgot he would not get out of bed before 730am either and was grouchy for the first thirty minutes of his day.
All that said, I have never seen a more loving dog. He liked cuddles and kisses, and adored to be spoken to. He would get himself in some hilarious situation and definitely had little dog syndrome. Once a Rottweiler attacked the other dog we had (a very large mutt) and Eddie was in there without a second thought.
He was worth every ripped up £5 note and yap because he was just such a personality. Everyone who met him fell in love. Sadly at the age of 15 he just passed away, but he really was spectacular. Jack Russel's need a lot of attention, and a lot of love. You also need to be patient and as they are working dogs give them lots of exercise, but they are totally worth it.
We have an adorable nine month old Jack Russell puppy, and he's bonkers. We bought Jake when he was eight weeks old and he became part of the family immediately, we were his second home from the breeder as the lady we bought him from had grossly underestimated the amount of energy these little dogs have and her idea of buying him to liven up her elderly dog failed massively. Her loss was definitely our gain though as Jake is a beautiful clever dog and is growing up to be an absolute beauty.
The one thing I learned fast about this breed is that they like to chew - it doesn't matter what it is, they'll find a way to destroy it. This was particularly annoying when Jake started 'teething' a couple of weeks after arriving with us, he used to love to bite fingers which didn't endear him to our two youngest kids who have had very little experience with small snappy puppies - this has changed as Jake has grown as he now knows he has his own supply of things to bite and he tends to leave fingers and toes alone now. He loves nothing better than ripping a plant out of the ground when left alone in the garden, which is highly irritating as how do you stop that (I have my eye on a bamboo cane in the shed, not that I advocate whipping puppies into submission...) without uprooting all the plants and putting them in troughs?!
Jake doesn't like to be left on his own but I'm a housewife so am here most of the time anyway so this doesn't happen often. Despite the fact he was housetrained VERY quickly he likes to squeeze out a dirty protest when I leave him shut in a room by himself, he's diddled himself by poo-ing once too often and now I've bought him a cute little dog house which he has to use when I go out as until he stops that revolting habit he's not going to be left inside if no one else is in!
Jack Russells are completely not fussy when it comes to food, I knew this anyway from a Jack my uncle had for years (they can have a lifespan of up to and beyond 17 years!) and it's been reinforced with Jake. Jake eats quite a lot of fresh meat which I either buy especially for him or it's meat that has been left over from dinners or packed lunches, he eats dog food too obviously but it's clear while he's eating that he prefers the better food that the humans eat!
This is a breed I recommend to everyone, I'm in love with Jake and so is the rest of the family - a gorgeous little dog.
Jack Russels are a fiery, spirited, adventurous dog, they are real characters, such good fun and completely and utterly fearless. They are very clever and not afraid to think for themselves, this can make them seem wilful at times. They are completely fearless, an angry Jack Russell will not back down from anyone or anything. They are proud, brave and fiercely loyal.
Because of their fiery disposition I would not personally recommend the JRT for families with small children, they have little a patience and will waste no time in making their feelings known of they are annoyed by a child's behaviour. They are not a dog for a young family.
Jack Russels love to be out and about they will not be happy if they don't get a daily walk. They like to explore their Enviroment and are one of those dogs that will get into everything and anything on a walk, no stone will be left untuned, no burrow or set will be left unexplored. They enjoy their exercise and at times their energy can seem boundless.
I have found that Jack Russels can be a family dog they generally pick one owner, their favourite person in the family and won't ever be found far from them if they can help it.
Despite their small stature they are a strong, sturdy little dog, they are pretty robust and the breed doesn't have too many health issues as a whole. Knee issues can be a problem such a luxiating patella, where in the knee slips in and out of place causing discomfort and pain. Just something for prospective owners to be aware of.
My daughter Shauna has always wanted a dog. I always said no. We had various dogs during my childhood but I had never formed a close bond with any of them. Eventually, with my daughter's 16th birthday coming up, my husband and I decided to surprise her with a puppy. We reasoned that she would be old enough to do her share of the dirty work, like picking up the poop! After a lot of research we decided on a Jack Russell because they are small and, being short-haired, would not aggravate my husbands asthma too much. At the time my daughter had three rabbits living in hutches in the garden and people told us we were mad to get a terrier because it would want to eat the bunnies! When we arrived at the farm we were shown to a stable block. In it were a doberman puppy and right at the back, the smallest, cutest puppy I had ever seen. Milo was the only boy from a litter of seven pups and because he was on his own they had put him in with the doberman. As soon as I stepped over the gate he came running up and immediately undid my shoelace with his teeth, then he rolled over onto his back and showed me his little pink tummy to tickle. I was smitten. We met his mum, a sweet, gentle lady and decided this one for us. As the breeder handed him over to me he said "This one will be trouble. He gets into and out of everything"!
On the car journey home Milo sat on my lap and looked into my eyes the whole way trying to figure me out. The expression on my daughters' face when I bought him into the house was something I will never forget. We had read all the books and taken advice from the pet store and had invested in a crate for him to sleep in and scented puppy pads for toilet training. We had even bought a cushion which you warm in the microwave for him to cuddle as it was winter. Milo refused point blank to go into the crate, preferring a bed in the kitchen and the toilet training took about two week in all, he just got it straight away and to this day he has never had an accident in the house. After being introduced to the rabbits and having a sniff through the bars he took no further notice of them, although we never took any risks with them just in case his terrier instincts took over!
At 10 weeks, once he had been fully vaccinated, we enroled Milo into puppy classes. My daughter and I went together and it was really useful, as well as great fun. The lady who ran the classes was initially dismissive of Milo because he was a Jack Russell. She actually said he would never learn the tricks because he would be too willful. However, she didn't count on his love for the bits of hot dog sausage that we used as treats. He was the first to master all the tricks and commands, apart from the 'lie down', which he refused to do until the final class, when he astounded the teacher and all the other dog owners by lying down on command and looking around smugly as if to say "I could do it all along, I just chose not to".
Now, if you are looking to get a dog but you are a bit of a couch potato, get a labrador or a bulldog, not a Jack Russell. His energy levels are through the roof and he always gets at least two 45 minute sessions of exercise every day. We are lucky to live next to a park, so he can indulge in his favourite pastime of chasing after a tennis ball on a regular basis, but he will walk for hours and he is a strong swimmer with a great love of water. The first time we let him off the lead he made a beeline for the canal and launched himself off the bank into the freezing water, only to run up the bank and do it all again! He has lost hundreds of tennis balls in the canal, and if he doesn't have a ball he will happily waste time diving for rocks and bringing them to me as if they were gemstones. He is really well behaved off the lead but occasionally he will get the scent of something and he is off. He once disappeared into a clump of trees and while I stood calling him a small deer came charging out of the clearing, closely followed by Milo who was grinning from ear to ear as if to say "look what I found"! Luckily the deer was a much faster runner than Milo and sped away but it was so funny.
All the local dog walkers know Milo by name, he has been well socialised with lots of different dogs and gets on well with most of them, especially the big dogs who play rough. He loves to be chased and wrestle but if a dog tries to take his ball he comes over all Ray Winston and gets an attitude. Some people are wary when he is playing because, like all terriers, he is very vocal and makes lots of tribal noise, but he has never shown any aggression towards anything or anyone. Jack Russells do need a firm pack leader or they will bully you. They need strong leadership and a lot of love but boy, do they give it back in spades. Just one look at Milos' big brown eyes melts my heart. I can honestly say that I never thought I could love a dog as much as I love him, he is indeed a member of the family and four years on, we wouldn't be without him.
I have a jack russell, Harvey, who is 4 yrs old. He's a lovely little dog and has grown up with my other dogs; 2 labradors and a huskey so i think he's a bit confused about the whole chasing rats side of life - a common association people have with jack russells, and much prefers spending his days eating jumbones and watching telly - lucky little thing!
As mentioned i do have 3 other dogs, all of who need considerably more exercise than harvey. I'm at uni but when i'm back home and have the time i'll walk them all twice a day for upto an hour each time - he doesn't struggle and although he has stubby little legs he can't half run fast! I think if i didn't have the other dog's he'd be content with half an hour of running round the field then a brief walk around the block. My mum walks the dogs while i'm at uni and she does the same as me. His energy levels are usually sky high when he's excited and he'll cry to be walked. I think if he wasn't walked then it'd be carnage as he's got a strong jaw on him and likes to chew furniture when he gets the chance!
Some people think that this breed is snappy, nasty and yappy. Yes, some are; depending on how the dog has been taught to act by its owner. If the owner is uptight, controlling and unkind towards the dog, or it doesn't get the attention it needs, it'll more than likely become nasty and yappy, but this is the same for all breeds; not just jack russells!
Harvey has been raised with other dogs, children, teenagers, etc and is a soft little lump of cute! He wouldn't hurt a fly; my male labrador has unfortunetly killed several rabbits in the past before he was whistle trained, while Harvey prefers to run after them, purely for the fun of it. He's had the chance to catch several and hasn't. Ofcourse some jack russells may have the urge in there breeding to cause them to chase and kill wildlife which can be distressing but with time and effort should stop.
Harvy loves been stroked so has no issues with that, he'll glady lay for hours letting me try out massage techniques on him and letting me brush his hair. He's also very bright and was easy to train and is able to:
- Jump on command
- Walk off the lead to heel
- Sit
- Roll over on command
- Open closed doors
- Lay on command
- Be gentle/slow when taking a treats
He's very eager to impress and enjoys learning.
I would only reccomend a jack russell, or any other dog if you've got time and effort for it, and someone home a majority of the day to walk and train it as they need stimulation and attention.
Price wise my Harvey was £30. Many jack russells are under £200.
Overall i love him to bits. He's just the right size to pick up (although is pretty solid with muscle!), a bright and loving dog and as he has a short coat malting is minimal.
I have had my dog called Daisy for 3 years now and she has been the best dog you could ask for! My dog was not trained as a puppy so she doesn't have many skills but when I call her name she responds and always looks happy. I usually take her for a 30 minute walk every day either around the block a few times, or to the park where she can explore, run and be care-free which is so great to see.
My dog doesn't eat that much food each day because she is a rare kind and is miniture to an extent, but she is fully grown and when people come up to me they think she is still a puppy, and so I have to correct them and say that she is an adult. All the girls go crazy after this dog because she is small and friendly. My dog eats half a can of food each day for morning and afternoon and a hard substance for lunch.
Daisy (my dog) doesn't mind people stroking her or petting her, and she has never bit anyone, which is good. I especially love her because our doorbell is broken at the moment so she barks when anybody comes to the door and it is quite funny to see peoples reactions because she is a small dog. She doesn't normally bark though apart from that, and she gets along with any dog.
We take Daisy to the Vet every now and again to get her checked up and make sure that she is fine and she doesn't cost a fortune. My dog only sheds hairs for about a month in summer when it gets hot but its normally manageable.
She is a great dog and i'm sure lots of other Jack Russels are the same. I'm just so glad that this gamble that i took of getting a dog of this size was the right decission.

I have a Jack Russell called Ozzie. Generally the species is regarded as a "yappy" and over confident dog, which is rarely true. I have a Parsons Jack Russell which is a longer legged species, which in my opinion looks more handsome. I live in the country, and around my house there is plenty of space, which is vital for these dogs. They are a very active dog, who need exercise at least once a day, if not more. I love walking him, and it also gives me exercise. They are also vermin-killing dogs, and my dog likes to chase the odd rabbit, and has been known to catch a pheasant in his time.
You have to beware, because sometimes local gamekeepers do not look kindly on dogs running around an disturbing their game crops, and once he threatened to shoot him if he go too out of hand. Inside he is an affectionate dog that will kindly jump onto your lap. Otherwise he is obedient, which is very important for a dog to owner relationship.
One of the greatest advantages is that he is small, and so can be picked up, or transported easily. He is the love of my life!
I've have my Jack Russell for about 12 years now, and she has never caused any problems! I got her as a child, and had two younger brothers as well, but despite being around young children she has never caused any problems with them and would quite happily be played with and cuddled by them. Jack Russell's seem to think they can do the same as humans, an definitely have a personality. My Jack Russell, Rosie, thinks she owns my room and my bed, if either my cat or my other dog comes in she will become very jealous and start growling, as jealousy brings out her mean streak. Despite not having caused any problems with us before or never hurting anyone, she does get nasty with other dogs sometimes if she feels threatened and jealous, as she seems to think that she should get all the attention. Saying this, she has never attempted to chase our cat, once she knows her place she won't step out of it, and as she knows the cat is part of the household she understands that she mustn't chase it. My cat will happily stroll up to Rosie and walk right across her pathway, yet Rosie won't do a thing.
I do believe a Jack Russell is a good pet for a family, no matter how young the people are in the household, because Jack Russell's learn very quickly who their masters are, and abide by rules well.
Having only ever had big dogs previously, I never really likes small dogs until my sisters Jack Russell had puppies. We took on one of the puppies and have never looked back. Jack Russells seem to think they are a much larger dog then they are, and are very cocky but in a loving way. They are amusing to have around as they have a very strong personality, they always want things there way. I find the breed to be very loyal and loving, they want to be part of the family rather than the family pet. Our little Jack Russell refuses to lay on the floor and has to either lay on the sofa or go to bed in my bed. She will snuggle people all day long and demands to sit on your knee when she wants attention.
I think the most important thing about the jack russells personality is the fact they are so gentle with people they know and children. Although they can be a bit aloof and off with people they don't know, there bark is certainly worse than their bite. Our girl will quite happily wander around barking at people with her hackles up as long as they are atleast 10m away and she has the back up of the mastiff, but would never even dream of hurting somebody!
Jack russells are known for their ratting ability, but I feel the need to warn you that this doesn't mean your little Jack Russell puppy will definitely grow into a rat killing machine and rid your stables/garden etc. of any rat infestation! Our girl is from a working dog background, her mum was sold to my sister because she was the one puppy who wouldn't show an interest in rats and it has passed on to my dog too. She will pretend she hasn't seen rats rather than fight one, so ratting has now become the mastiffs job.
I do recommend the jack russell breed to anybody who wants a loving, personable family pet. They are such an intelligent breed and will really complete the family.
Jack Russell are real characters, they are the small dog with tons of personality. These animals are fearless and despite their size aren't afraid to stand up for themselves.
Traditionally I believe they are hunting dogs (rat catchers) in particular and you will notice this whenever you take your Jack Russell for a walk and let them off their lead. They will bound off in search of rabbits / rats etc with their endless energy.
I have owned two Jack Russells (male & female) both of which had lovely natures. With a bit of patience they weren't too bad to train although they did tend to run off once let off the lead and pull while you are trying to walk them.
They were both very cuddly though and enjoyed lots of 'lap' time and cuddles. Desapite their size they also require a fair bit of exercise as I mentioned previously they do have a lot of energy.
They are good hardy dogs who make great family pets and highly recommend!
Every owner thinks his dog is the best: at least he ought to! What you need to know is not whether I like Jack Russells but whether you will.
Russells come in four varieties: short and long-legged, rough or smooth coated. The short legged variety can manage a ten mile walk with ease; their long-legged cousins are bred to keep up with horses, but will you keep up with them? Smooth coats are easier to maintain, but both rough and smooth will shed. Quite a lot. A powerful vacuum cleaner and sticky rolls for cleaning cushions are required. It is a pity that Jack Russell hair has no commercial value. Loft insulation perhaps?
Because Russells are not pedigree dogs they are designed for use and not for ornament. They don't typically suffer from hereditary diseases. It does not matter too much what they look like, though to be a Jack Russell at all you must be predominantly white, except for the ears and head. Some people prefer a white body, but spots and patches are fine and even, I think, quite becoming.
A word about tails. Tail docking for cosmetic reasons is now rightly illegal. The only circumstance in which it is permitted is to protect a working dog from injury. In normal circumstances the chance of your Russell injuring his tail are remote. It's there for a purpose, so leave it be. If anything, it is the ears that suffer injuries, when running through thorny bushes, something that Russells do a lot of. The coat provides good protection against thorns, but they must be picked out from time to time. This is quite therapeutic.
Russells are lively and active. As terriers, they enjoy exploring holes, digging holes, and chasing rabbits. They are not town dogs and these are off lead activities. A Russell that disappears into a briar patch will take a long time to come out again. As puppies, they may dig holes in the garden, but as they grow up this should stop if they are properly exercised. The garden must be secure: Russells are inquisitive and will escape to explore if they can. They have a tendency to pull if walked on a short lead: annoying on the flat but useful uphill.
In common with many terriers, Russells have an independent spirit. This does not mean that they cannot be trained. House training and so on is easy, but in general they will only do what they want to do. They are not the dog for trick work or obedience classes. There is a reason why there are no Jack Russell guide dogs: Russells go where they want to, owners follow. I am not advocating indiscipline, but you need to be aware of what is achievable: Russells are not for those who like to exercise a high degree of control. If you prefer a dog with an independent spirit, they may be for you.
Russells have a powerful bite: amputating the vacuum cleaner flex was the work of a moment, and many dog toys last mere minutes. They are inveterate chewers. This does not mean they will chew up the house (the vacuum cleaner incident was a youthful transgression), but they do need something to chew. Rawhide strips and the famous Kong are ideal. Nor, if properly trained and treated, are they going to bite anyone, though they do make an excellent burglar alarm, with a surprisingly loud bark. They are not, however, talkative animals, and rarely bark without a reason.
A Russell has the character of a big dog in the body of a small dog, and so offers the most dog per kilo of any breed. They are bold and active but can be carried in one hand if necessary. They are full of character and will make their wishes known. This makes for a rewarding interaction, but will not suit anyone who likes to be totally in control at all times. A Russell will obey you as long as he agrees with you.
We took over a two year old Jack Russell almost two months ago, from some friends who were moving house and couldn't take him with them. My husband and kids had been campaigning to have a dog for several years, but I wasn't keen as I knew that I would end up being the one doing all the walks etc and didn't think I could cope with the extra work. However, I'd gradually come around to the idea and decided that a Jack would be the breed that I'd most likely risk, as they were the only type of dog that I'd had experience looking after, as we used to dog-sit Nipper the Jack for my in-laws when they went on holiday. So when our friends asked for anyone who could give Jake a home at short notice, we decided to go & meet him, and consequently brought him home.
The first night he was here, he slept in our bed, between us, initially with his head on mine. We bought a bed for him the next day, as he didn't have his own one due to him having slept on the sofa previously. It has taken a few weeks but he is now settling quickly into his bed most nights, although he is still in our room, shut in with us. Initially, his bed was part way between a giant chew-toy and a thing of oppression, so we had quite a battle of wills.
He was brought up with a retired greyhound, so is used to being around another dog and playing. Jacks have a reputation for being yappy, which he is so far unfortunately living up to whenever we see another dog. He seems to want the other dogs to play with him, which most owners we've come across actually aren't too happy about. This is something that we will try to work on in the coming months. He does have one doggy friend, Amber, who is a German Shepherd cross, who he will play with for a couple of hours solid and be thoroughly worn out! He has several walks a day, as he walks the kids to school with me either end of the day, then has a long walk in the middle of the day to the local park, and an evening 'maintenance walk' before bed-time. Before he came to us he was producing poo 3 or 4 times a day and sometimes in the house during the night, he was having dry food but supplemented with 'human' meals too. Now he's having mainly his dry food and the occasional tin of dog food as an interesting supplement, he's settled down (so far at least) to twice a day.
Character-wise, he has a beautiful temperament, he's a real lap-dog, loves to have loads of fuss, loves his toys and his hide bones, is very talkative (the vocalisations, not barking or growling, that Jacks are capable of is fascinating!), is very nosey indeed, and thankfully had passed through the chewing everything stage before we had him. Our daughters are aged 12 & 9, and he is great with them, even letting the youngest pick him up the first day that we had him! He is not too keen on being left on his own, but hasn't caused any damage when he has been; I suspect that he's barked the whole time though - which makes us gladder still that our home is detached. He needs routine to be settled, which I guess is true of all dogs, the same basic walk routes, for instance. We've tried to keep things as constant as possible, so that he can learn what we're about & what we're like. He has on the whole settled remarkably well into our family so far, bearing in mind how quickly the swap-over happened, which must have been quite a shock. It has been a bit of a shock to us too, suddenly becoming dog-owners, and has been a very steep learning curve, but I think that it will be good. I have lost weight with all the extra walking, which has to be a plus!
The main thing always to remember though is that having a dog is a huge responsibility. It really has felt like having another child, it's that much of a commitment. It's something you should never do on impulse - although we took Jake on at short notice, we had been thinking very seriously about having a dog for quite some time, and also he had the benefit of a good character reference from our friends!
3/11/13 - four years on and he's still with us, he has become a very loved (and probably spoilt!) member of the family, still doesn't like to be left on his own, and loves nothing more than to cuddle up with one of the girls (now 16 and 13) or me on the sofa. His social skills have improved a bit, he even helped to rehabilitate another terrier who we meet on walkies, who had been housebound along with his elderly owner and was never socialised with other dogs. They are now great friends :) I still get frustrated by other dog owners who assume he'll go for their dogs purely on the basis of his breed, but I have met so many people whose dogs have been bitten by Jacks that I'm willing to allow people that caution. He has one sworn enemy, a border collie that went for him on the playing fields, so we avoid it as best we can, and their owner is aware of the problem and has changed their walk time too (at last!). He is very neurotic, but we work around or with that as appropriate, with largely good results. And we love him to bits :)

My two drive me potty. Yap yap yapping at anything that startles them. But I adore them regardless.
Back in 2003, I was burgled. Nothing extraordinary in that, but my then partner decided we needed a guard dog to prevent it happening again. Mmm. I wasn't convinced, but he said he would do everything as he'd had dogs growing up.
Oh, it was like buying your child a hamster, knowing you'd end up cleaning it out yourself, but I agreed to go to Wood Green (our local RSPCA shelter) to "have a look" for a German Shephard.
Once there, I saw this little ball of fur hanging from a rope-tugger (he was trying to 'kill' it) that had been tied to the roof of his cage, and fell in love.
No, not a Shephard, not even close. A Jack Russell. After reading the details on the cage, we learnt there was two. After much searching, we spotted a little nose poking out from under a blanket. Ah-ha!
After a small amount of pleading on my part, we took them for a little getting-to-know-you walk. Made no difference, I was in love and was adament that they would be mine.
The staff were thrilled, and promply arranged for a home visit, and placed the dogs under 'reserved'. Home visit came and passed with flying colours. But then I got a call to say one of the dogs was sick and couldn't come home. Benji had kennel cough, and they wouldn't seperate him and Caddy, so we all had to wait a week.
But hometime came, and the dogs came home.
I've had them six and a half years now, and can't bear the thought of being without them. It took a while to get used to the "cleaning up" after them, but that's part of being a doggy mum. As is cleaning the dogs bum when he's been eating grass and the runs that follow include undigested grass..... (let you imagine the removal of said grass)
And yes, the barking-cum-yapping does grate on the nerves when they get going, but they do only bark for a reason. Noises that startle them, next-doors kids throwing things over the fence at them, people knocking on the door, unleashed dogs in public parks, excitement.
The welcome home always makes me smile, even if I've only been gone two minutes! I can't explain to a non-doggy person how great it is to know someone will always be thrilled to see you (even tho I know it's because I feed them, and walk them, and buy them toys and treats)
And it's always nice to know someone who'll fight for you. Forget big dogs, it's the little ones that are vicious when protecting whats theirs. And I'm theirs.
I love my boys, and I have no doubt that they love me too
AHH the jack russell... another marmite moment, you either love them or hate them. The closest to having a wolf in your home...well in their mind anyway.
After sharing the past 5 years with a rescue jack then I am in the love them camp. I went out looking for a beagle sized dog and came home with a small scruffy bendy legged jack Russel instead. Saying this, he thinks he is the size of a newfoundland and will not come through a door unless it is fully open to allow his 'bulk' through. I have since found out this is a common trait.
JRT are one of the rare breeds that one dog can look so different from another that lives down the road. Traditionally they are longer legged with short tails and flopped ears after generations of breeding around horses. A very intelligent bright dog. The jack's body should be the length of its front legs in order to turn round in rabbit burrows etc. However the more fun jack is the short dumpy barrel chested fellas with bent "queen anne" front legs and a cheeky face. These fellas have the strongest ratting instinct which we see everyday (especially when the postman comes) but with soft toys and not real furry animals.
There is documented history of the breeding of the Jack Russel but after doing a comprehensive study of the wolf in my front room worthy of a PhD I have my own theory... Jack Russels originally come from Africa and are from the canine group jackal Russel. The hunting instinct we see everyday out on walks is not from looking for mice but indeed from the days of hunting elephants in the long grasses of the Serengeti. They would work in packs and their 6 inch high legs allowed them the element of surprise. When you see the long grasses swaying it is not the gentle African breeze but a pack of Jackal russels hunting. The can get up close and surround the expectingly bull elephant before they go for the kill by leaping up and grabbing the large ears and hanging on until they can wrestle the elephant down. Not pretty.. So if you ever see an elephant with raggy ears be sure he has escaped with his life..
Our jack is such a part of the family that my baby would copy the dog and crawl after him with toys in his mouth. Some think they are not lap dogs but our fella loves his cuddles and blankets and will sleep anywhere as long as he is touching you. Very gentle and loving. However it is important they know their place and I found ignoring him is the best form of disciple, he hates it and calms down immediately.
If you want to fit in your life get a lab. if you want to live your life get a Jack.
The Jack Russell Terrier. I was always wary of small dogs as a young child. I was brought up with large Labradors and the though of a little dog scared me! But in September 2008 after my mum passed away my partner said we would get a dog to help with the grieving process! So I searched the internet and the only dog I could find was a Jack Russell!

I went along to the breeders house to meet the puppies and the mum. The mum herself a small jack Russell that was lovely and accepted me straight away. There was two puppies left a Female and Male. The Female I found to be very yappy and sniff around me! The male was much quieter and loveable. As you can guess I went home with the male Jack Russell, I called him Ben!.
At home.
Jack Russell's love to play, dig and cause trouble! My jack Russell didn't take to puppy pads but was great with paper based training which was great. Jack Russell's learn extremely quickly. When meeting my cat he accepted her straight away although I must admit now and again he likes to chase her but not in a nasty way! The breed are extremely playful and are very protective of their owners. He does not leave my side, he needs regularly walks or become distracted and destructive! They like to get there own way or they can get quite upset! They know how to pull the heart string. Getting messy is there middle name so regularly baths are a must.
In conclusion I would say that Jack Russell's are the ideal companion but not for someone who wants a lap dog as they have lots of energy. Their tempera mate is excellent he's brilliant with children, adults and dogs he knows alike. Excellent dog!

The Ducks were only seconds away from a clean getaway. They rallied from a three-goal deficit with an frenetic comeback in the closing minutes of the third period of Game 2 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings.
They needed to survive two more seconds shorthanded, gain control of the puck and then all the game's momentum would be on their side, with a raucous sellout crowd of 17,182 ready to erupt in cheers when a slashing penalty to Sheldon Souray expired.
Then Detroit forward Gustav Nyquist crushed the Ducks' hopes and dreams, giving the Red Wings a 5-4 victory with a power-play goal 1 minute, 21 seconds into sudden-death overtime. Nyquist's first playoff goal in his sixth postseason game ended a back-and-forth game in stunning fashion.
The Red Wings built leads of 3-0 and 4-1 before the Ducks rallied with three goals in the final 12:10 of the third period. Ryan Getzlaf, Kyle Palmieri and Bobby Ryan scored for the Ducks to tie the score at 4-4, sending it to overtime.
"I don't think you feel good after we lost an opportunity to put a stranglehold on them in the series," said Ryan, who tied the score 4-all with 2:22 remaining in the third by punching home a centering pass from defenseman Cam Fowler. "We let it get away."
The Ducks went shorthanded after Souray took a slashing penalty with 38 seconds left in regulation after Jonas Hiller made a spectacular save on Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk to preserve the tie. The Ducks killed off all but two seconds of the penalty.
Now the series shifts to Detroit's Joe Louis Arena for Games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Monday. Game 5, which became necessary after the Red Wings evened the best-of-7 series at one victory apiece, will be next Wednesday at the Honda Center.
"We're going there to win two," a defiant Getzlaf said of playing the next two in Detroit.
The Ducks were left to wonder what might have been after they started each of the three periods plus overtime by giving up a goal inside the first two minutes. They took little consolation in rallying smartly and aggressively in the closing minutes of regulation.
"We almost pulled it off," Ryan said, shrugging.
The Red Wings caught lightning in a bottle twice in the opening 4 minutes, 20 seconds, scoring two goals on three shots to start Game 2. Neither of the goals was entirely the fault of Hiller, but the Ducks were exactly where they didn't want to be so early in the game.
First, Justin Abdelkader's shot after dancing into the Ducks' zone deflected off retreating defenseman Francois Beauchemin and landed in the back of the net after only 48 seconds. It was Abdelkader's fourth goal in as many games this season against the Ducks.
Then, after Teemu Selanne's errant clearing pass was picked off by Kyle Quincey along the left-wing boards, the puck landed on Damien Brunner's stick. Brunner then beat a defenseless Hiller with a quick shot from the slot for a 2-0 lead for the Red Wings at the 4:20 mark.
Meanwhile at the other end of the ice, Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard stopped Selanne on an early break-in from the left wing and then made a glove save on a dangerous-looking shot from the right wing from Corey Perry.
The Ducks spent the rest of the first period trying to limit the damage, but it was clear the opening minutes were costly. Then they started the second by giving up a power-play goal to Johan Franzen, who knocked home a loose puck after a goalmouth scramble to make it 3-0.
Franzen's goal came with the Ducks' Saku Koivu in the penalty box for a cross-checking infraction during a scrum at the end of the opening period.
Koivu atoned for his lack of discipline by chipping home a rebound of a Selanne shot for a power-play goal to cut it to 3-1.
Franzen scored another power-play goal 20 seconds into the third.
Getzlaf's goal 7:30 later ignited the Ducks' comeback.
"I think we settled into a pretty good rhythm, " Ryan said. "Getzlaf gets one and they were probably a little vulnerable after that and we kind of fed off that goal."

Lindsay Lohan has a weird relationship with clothes. She, and only she, can make a tee and jeans look vaguely pornopgraphic. I guess it's no surprise that the gown she wore for Kim Kardashian's wedding looks like a stripper costume. On someone else it would probably look sexy.

Butler serves up gem for Tourists
Rockies' No. 10 prospect takes no-hitter into seventh inning
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | April 25, 2013 6:59 PM ET
Generally one bad pitch is all that seperates a pitcher from a chance at history. On Thursday night, it was one shake of Eddie Butler's head.
The Rockies' No. 10 prospect took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, finishing with eight one-hit innings as Class A Asheville defeated Lexington, 3-0.
Butler kept the Legends lineup out of the hit column for the first six innings, then took Michael Antonio to a 1-2 count. After Antonio fouled off three straight pitchers, he singled on the seventh pitch to end Butler's no-hit bid.
"I mixed up the call," the Virginia native said. "We got ahead of him real quick and I shook the catcher [Tom Murphy] off to put doubt in [Antonio's] mind. Me and the catcher mixed up the signals and that was my fault. I threw the sinker right down the middle of the plate. It was a bad pitch from the start, he got enough of it to get it out of the infield."
The 22-year-old right-hander, who was selected as a supplemental first-round pick in the first round of last year's Draft, struck out four and walked two in the longest outing of his career. In this day and age of pitch limits, innings limits and piggyback systems, it's not often a prized pitching prospect works as deep into the game as Butler did Thursday.
"It's a good feeling to be able to go out there and throw eight innings and get a lot of groundballs and save innings for the bullpen," he said.
The Radford University product recorded 14 ground-ball outs, including two double plays. A sinkerball pitcher by nature, Butler is a perfect fit for an organization which often finds baseballs flying out of its Major League park.
"The big league club being in Denver, keeping the ball down, that's one of their biggest concerns," he said. "I think it was a perfect match for what they were looking for. Hopefully it works for me and gets me up quicker because I already have a good sinker."
Overall this season, Butler is 2-0 with a 1.84 ERA in five starts for Tourists. South Atlantic League hitters are batting .122 against him and have yet to take him deep this season.
Raul Fernandez allowed a hit in a scoreless ninth to record his seventh save for Asheville.
Matt Argyropoulos was 2-for-3 with two RBIs for the Tourists.
Christian Binford allowed two runs on six hits and struck out eight over seven innings to fall to 1-2 for the Legends.

The last meeting between the owners and players came to an unceremonious end on Sunday and the sound bites that followed could've easily been replaced with the din of tires screeching to a halt.
That's because after a week of secret meetings and what appeared to be actual progress the owners and players once again are back to ignoring each other.
One of the most optimistic periods of the NHL lockout came to an end Sunday after a 90-minute meeting between representatives for the league and players. The length of the session was jarring since the sides had recently met for several marathon sessions in the week prior to Sunday's meltdown.
Maybe this is all part of the process and the current freeze on negotiations is a natural result after a long week of meetings, but each day of silence casts doubt on any effort to spin things positively.
In fact, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly summed up the current climate best in an email to the Canadian Press on Thursday, saying he's "more discouraged now than I have been at any point in the process."
Making matters worse, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has suggested a two-week moratorium on negotiations. After accomplishing next-to-nothing in this labor dispute after months of talking, somehow I don't think taking two weeks off from negotiating at this late stage is a good sign.
If a forced vacation from the task at hand is needed to get things on track, even the most optimistic of hockey fans would have to admit that the situation is pretty bleak.
So, how did things break down this quickly?
The first cracks in the foundation came Nov. 7 when according to reports the owner's delegation nearly stormed out of a meeting before being convinced otherwise. At the time, it was sold as positive news because despite being angered by what they were hearing from the players, the owners were able to hang in and hear the other side's point of view.
But, two days later things broke down even further and Sunday's abbreviated meeting has led to our current week of silence. Things have gotten so bad that the two sides aren't even talking by phone or email.
Although the sides have never really agreed on the core economics the latest snag is related to contract issues. That debate involves topics like the NHL's desire to put a cap on the amount of years that can be offered to a free agent or increasing the age at which players become free agents.
Daly said recently that the NHLPA gave the league its ideas on 17 contract issues and "we have a deal, or made progress on 14 of them." As usual, no matter how many issues these sides agree on the topics that divide them are the ones that influence negotiations the most.
NHLPA boss Donald Fehr was less optimistic than Daly regarding the NHL's stance on contract issues, saying Sunday that he doesn't see "a path to an agreement here."
Making matters worse, the halt in negotiations comes at a crucial point in the calendar. According to Chris Botta of Sports Business Journal, the sides have until the middle of next week to agree on a new CBA before the next wave of cancellations hit. The league already has scrapped its entire November schedule and the next step will be to eliminate regular-season games through Dec. 15.
Simply put, if the two sides can't find a way to communicate their differences to each other soon then half of the December schedule is as good as gone.
It's hard to believe we're heading into the third month since the lockout officially began on Sept. 15 and so little movement on the important issues has been made.
Unfortunately, the best reason left to believe the entire season won't be canceled is that the owners and players aren't dumb enough to let another season slip away like they did in 2004-05.
If they take two weeks off from negotiating with the entire season hanging in the balance maybe it's time to admit they are that dumb,

The situations is this (somewhat simplified):
I have a MySQL database that contains data about photographs. One table (photos) contains basic data such as year, place etc. Then I have another table (names) that contains names of people in the pictures. And finally there's a table (pic_name) that connects pictures with people, linking photoid with nameid corresponding to photos.id and names.id respectively.
Let's say that the picture with id 1 (photos.id = 1) is a photo of three people called John, Lisa and Esmeralda having the IDs 1, 2 and 3 in the names table (as well as the names encoded in the first_name column). Then pic_name has three rows connecting photoid = 1 with nameid = 1, 2 and 3.
Now to my question: How do I construct a query that retrieves some specific info from the photos table, for example place or year, for all photos that contain both John and Lisa (not just either one of them)? That is, how do I get a list of where or when all my pictures containing both John and Lisa (and possibly others such as Esmeralda, but that's irrelevant) were shot?
Intuitively, it seems like a fairly simple question, but I can't for my life come up with a query that produces the desired result. Any help would be highly appreciated.
SELECT photos.id
, photos.place
, photos.year
FROM ( SELECT pic_name.photoid
FROM names
JOIN pic_name
ON pic_name.nameid = names.id
WHERE names.first_name IN ( 'John' , 'Lisa' )
BY pic_name.photoid
) AS these
JOIN photos
ON photos.id = these.photoid
Thanks a lot. This seems like a very good start with fast response time and everything. There's only one slight problem: If I have a picture with two persons called John and no Lisa (or vice versa), I get that as well. If you can fix that too I'll definitely buy your book ... Or maybe I'll do it anyway ...
let me turn it around and ask you to explain how your application interface will decide which people you want to base the query on... in other words, sticking with your original example, where did John and Lisa come from? how were they chosen?
It'll be a public archive where anyone should be able to search for pictures based on various criteria. There already is a database that I have exported parts of in order to migrate to MySQL. The original database uses 4D as its DBMS and the querys work ok, but the whole database is a complete mess structure-wise and there are some other problems with it which is why I'm trying to clean it up and switch to MySQL. I have no access to the server code of the original database, so I have no idea what's going on there. What I can do is to export its contents to an XML file and take it from there in whatever direction I choose to. There will be a web form identical to the original (see link below) and then I'll process the querystring through PHP and send the query to the database from there.
Here's the web site as it is today: http://bildarkivet.orsa.se/ John and Lisa wasn't a very good example, but you get at least two hits where the Lisas are represented by Anna-Lisa and Anna Lisa respectively. It's all in Swedish, but the top right field in the middle column ("förnamn") represents "first name". So if you enter "John Lisa" there (without the quotes) you get two hits. (And if you search for "John,Lisa" instead, you get pictures with either John or Lisa.) Similarly, if you write "ko gris" (= "cow pig") in the "Nyckelord" field in the left column (= key words) you get three pictures with both a cow and a pig.
I hope this explains the context. So far I've managed to build all the queries I need through PHP except the one I'm asking about here. (Sometime in the future I hope I'll be able to transform the name mess into a decent persons table, but that'll take quite a lot of work.)
okay, if you are going to allow a search based only on firstnames, then pretty much the only thiing you can do is change HAVING COUNT(*) = N (where N is the number of names entered) to HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT names.first_name) = N
Yes, I don't want to remove any of the present functionality although people probably won't search for two first names particularly often. But for keywords this kind of query will probably be more useful. Anyway, thanks a lot again! This made my day (week, month ...)
There's still a lot to learn ...
I have this query:
SELECT photos.id
FROM (SELECT pic_name.photoid
FROM names
INNER JOIN pic_name
ON pic_name.nameid = names.id
WHERE names.first_name IN ( 'John' , 'Lisa' )
GROUP BY pic_name.photoid
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT names.first_name) = 2
) AS these
INNER JOIN photos
ON photos.id = these.photoid
Now I want a negative filter on the above selection. For example, I might want all pictures with John and Lisa except those with Eric in them as well. Or perhaps all pictures of John and Lisa except the one with photo.id = 1. I had assumed that it would be possible to construct a query selecting what I don't want and then just add it with a "WHERE NOT EXISTS", like so:
SELECT id
FROM photos
WHERE id = 1)
but that won't return any results whatsoever. Where did my mind wander astray?
in general you need either to rewrite the HAVING clause to suit each circumstance...
FROM ( SELECT pic_name.photoid
FROM names
JOIN pic_name
ON pic_name.nameid = names.id
WHERE names.first_name IN ( 'John' , 'Lisa' , 'Eric' )
BY pic_name.photoid
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT names.first_name) = 2
AND COUNT(CASE WHEN names.first_name = 'Eric'
THEN 'uh oh'
ELSE NULL END) = 0
) AS these
... or add WHERE conditions to the outer query...
JOIN photos
ON photos.id = these.photoid
WHERE photos.id <> 1
Thanks. At least I did put my erroneous WHERE condition in the right place.
The first solution seems easily expandable also to cases when pics with more than one person should be excluded, e.g.:
AND COUNT(CASE WHEN names.first_name IN ('eric', 'zoe')
THEN 'uh oh'
And it should be easy enough to construct by a PHP script.
But I also tried to write a query with a WHERE condiction to exclude Eric, but I can't seem to come up with a working solution there either. For example
INNER JOIN pic_name as pn
ON pn.photoid = photos.id
INNER JOIN names as n
ON n.id = pn.nameid
WHERE n.first_name <> 'eric'
GROUP BY photos.id
won't give me what I want.
Maybe I should find myself another hobby .:mad:
Could anyone tell me if I am correct in assuming that the added WHERE condition with a photo id works because the id is a unique, single, non-NULL value, whereas first names are not? I.e. "WHERE n.first_name <> 'eric'" will retrieve rows as long as there are non-Erics in the image as well? Understanding why it doesn't work could be a step towards understanding what will work instead and why.
Ah, well. I'll go with the suggested CASE solution anyway. I came up with the following alternative solution, which seems to be working as it should, although it's a bit slower. But it'll do at my present stage of learning.
WHERE NOT photos.id
SELECT photoid
FROM pic_name AS pn
INNER JOIN names AS n
ON n.id = pn.nameid
WHERE n.first_name = 'eric'
WHERE NOT photos.idIN ( SELECT photoid FROM pic_name AS pn INNER JOIN names AS n ON n.id = pn.nameid WHERE n.first_name = 'eric' )is not correctWHERE photos.id NOT IN ( SELECT photoid FROM pic_name AS pn INNER JOIN names AS n ON n.id = pn.nameid WHERE n.first_name = 'eric' )is correct sentence
yes, it is
did you test it? i did
Next problem: LIKE.
If I simplify the inner query in the above example to this
SELECT x
FROM y
WHERE z IN ('a','b','c')
GROUP BY x.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT z) = 3
I could rewrite it as
SELECT x
FROM y
WHERE z = 'a' OR z = 'b' OR z = 'c'
GROUP BY x.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT z) = 3
and then introduce a LIKE like this:
SELECT x
FROM y
WHERE z = 'a' OR z = 'b' OR z LIKE 'c%'
GROUP BY x.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT z) = 3
But that won't give me what I want (a, b and c), since it will also retrieve b, cd and ce; cd, ce and cf; etc.
So I tried
SELECT x
FROM y
WHERE z = 'a' OR z = 'b' OR z LIKE 'c%'
GROUP BY x.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT z) = 3
AND COUNT(z NOT LIKE 'c%') = 2
which doesn't work either.
Nor does
SELECT x
FROM y
WHERE z = 'a' OR z = 'b' OR z LIKE 'c%'
GROUP BY x.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT z) = 3
AND COUNT(z = 'a') = 1
AND COUNT(z = 'b') = 1
Any suggestions what I should try next?
then you need count, separately, the different results
HAVING MAX(CASE WHEN z='a' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) +
MAX(CASE WHEN z='b' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) +
MAX(CASE WHEN z LIKE 'c%' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) = 3
Mr. L. to the rescue ... Thanks.
Seeing that solution I spontaneously imagined that this would work as well:
HAVING COUNT(CASE WHEN z='a' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) +
COUNT(CASE WHEN z='b' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) +
COUNT(CASE WHEN z LIKE 'c%' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) = 3
But obviously it doesn't. Does anyone see why I don't see why it doesn't work?
Edit: Or rather: I see why this solution doesn't work but I'm not sure why the MAX solution works.
because even if there are seventeen 'a' rows, MAX will ensure that only one 1 is included in the count
Sweet. :tup:
And I suppose that the negative version from earlier in the thread takes care of itself automatically by excluding all possible variations of c% leaving only 'a' and 'b' to add up to the distinct 2? Or am I overlooking something?
SELECT x
FROM y
WHERE z = 'a' OR z = 'b' OR z LIKE 'c%'
GROUP BY x.id
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT z) = 2
CASE WHEN z LIKE 'c%'
) = 0
that works

No matter what happens Sunday when the Bengals host the Ravens, each team's seat at the AFC Playoffs table won't really change. The Bengals will still go on the road in the first round of the playoffs. the Ravens will still host a first-round game. But both teams will continue to play as if everything is on the line in Week 17.
"I think it's important for our team to play well," Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said Monday, according to CBSSports.com. "We are going to play to win the football game. [We're playing for] improvement. Each and every time we go out. That's what we have been doing since November 4th is working to play better every time we had an opportunity to play. We've done that. We need to keep doing that."
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh also talked about the importance of improving.
"The idea is we have plenty of things to work on, and we've got to continue to improve to be the best we can be in the playoffs," Harbaugh said. "This week is an opportunity to do that."
Fantasy Analysis:
The Ravens, Bengals, Colts and Falcons are the playoff teams that generally have "nothing to play for" this weekend. But the two former teams now say they will not rest, and I think the latter team should follow suit since Atlanta will get a week off anyway. I also doubt the Colts will take it easy in Chuck Pagano's first game back from leukemia treatment. If you have anybody on these squads, you should feel rather comfortable about using them if you need them.

Penney, Stef. The Tenderness of Wolves
The icy chill of a 19th century Canadian winter is palpable throughout British author Penney's accomplished debut. Seventeen-year-old Francis Ross disappeared from the town of Dove River on the Georgian Bay the same day his mother discovers the scalped corpse of the boy's friend Laurent Jammet, a fur trader and former employee of the all-powerful Hudson Bay Company. The sensational murder brings outsiders to the small community: young, earnest Company representative Donald Moody, who's there to help investigate the crime; and aging former tracker and Native American sympathizer Thomas Sturrock, who hopes to recover a carved bit of bone that had been in the trapper's possession and which might provide valuable archaeological proof of an ancient Native written language. Unfortunately for Mrs. Ross, there are no obvious suspects other than her missing son—until half-Native trapper William Parker is caught searching the dead man's house. When Parker is released, Mrs. Ross enlists him to help her go after her son and whoever her son had followed into the wilderness, hoping to prove Francis innocent of the crime.
Atmospheric and complex, the intertwined stories of Penney's vibrant cast of loners and outsiders are absorbing, and Penney's choice of time and place is a perfect backdrop.

It was so by default, off course. Turning in On was one of other solutions described somewhere in the forum. Without any reaction in my case. It is very unusual situation: usually if there is a problem with cyrillic font support - they are wrong displayed in bulk - every character without an exception, but the case with only two disappearing - this is very strange. These two are not any special symbols - just normal ones like the others alphabet neighbours. And other strange thing is that one of them is uppecase and other lowercase and their opposite cases are displayed normally.

I am tryinng to insert a module in BT3 in both formats(lzm and mo)
Which worked in BT2..
Error messages:
Some error occured while inserting module to live filesystem
bt ~ # /usr/bin/uselivemod libdevmapper_1_02_08.lzm
module file is stored inside the union, moving to /mnt/live/memory/modules first...
Cannot read module data. corrupted download?
error inserting module to live filesystem
Do I make a mistake or is BT3(startet from CD-ROM) not yet ready to insert modules?
Thank's a lot for any feedback!
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Maybe it's a CR-RW with some kind of on the fly burning implemented. it's possible right?
I can't get any .lzm modules to load using uselivemod, but I can take the same modules and put them in the modules directory and they'll load at boot time. Putting the .lzm on a thumb drive or windows share gets rid of the "moving" message, but they still don't load.
I may be wrong, Probably, but that error relates to the command is incorrect.
Follow this guide carefully and let me know how it went
It's best to try, and google, then try, and google! and google more!
I am affraid, but Slax6 does definitely support inserting modules if the PC was booted from CD-ROM :-)
(and I hope the BT developpers will soon make that great feuture work in BT3)
if we have a look at dmesg you'll prob find stuff like these suspicious messages...
VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem on dev loop37.
GFS2: not a GFS2 filesystem
GFS2: Unrecognized block device or mount point /dev/loop37
GFS2: gfs2 mount does not exist
As it turns out the mount option does not recognize that the .lzm files actually has a squashfs file system.
A rather nasty hack would be to edit /usr/lib/liblinuxlive
around line 346 something you'll find the mount command used...
mount -n -o $OPTIONS "$LOOPDEV" "$2" >/dev/null 2>&1
if this line is changed to:
mount -n -o $OPTIONS "LOOPDEV" "$2" -t squashfs >/dev/null 2>&1
loading modules will work, well it does for me.
BUT - this will probably BREAK everything else since it looks like that code is used for other things as well! -- Don't count on your computer booting with this line of code!
A new version of the live scrips would be a better solution or maybe there is a better way to use them?

When Lily arrives at an antique jewelry fair, her bargain sensors go off left and right - but she also picks up a faint vibration of magic. Could the hard-bargaining merchant Griselda be a fellow practitioner? It certainly seems that way when a sudden fire sends panic through the crowd, and Lily discovers Griselda murdered in a way that nods to an old-fashioned witch hunt. A crime that hits close to home turns into an unwelcome flash from the past when the police bring in their lead suspect - Lily's estranged father. Though he may not deserve her help, Lily is determined to clear her father's name and solve a murder that's anything but crystal clear.

Science fiction, fantasy and mystery listener. Love anything with a good plot.
Lily Ivory is a witch and owner of a vintage store called Aunt Cora's Closet. In her time in San Francisco she's gotten into plenty of trouble. However trouble is heading her way like never before. This time in the form of her father and what could likely be a fire demon!! It all starts innocently enough when she goes to a fair and meets a German lady selling antique jewellery. She's interested in what she has to offer and suspects that she might also be a witch. Her suspicions are confirmed when the lady turns up dead, pressed between wood with cinder blocks on top. The "pressing" is a old form of torture against witches, which Lily has only heard of. Due to the nature of her death, Detective Carlos calls on Lily to help out and this starts one adventure that Lily nor her friends will forget in a hurry.
I fell in love with this series when I first read Secondhand Spirits. I love Lily as she not just tries to solve mysteries, but also learns what it is like to live in San Francisco and have friends nearby. She was shunned from her own mother and her hometown for being a witch. However her life in San Francisco is pretty great… well except for the murders and the fact that her one-time lover, Sailor, has disappeared.
What I love the most about Tarnished and Torn and this series as a whole, is it is never dull and boring. There is always a lot happening but Juliet Blackwell doesn't leave readers lost and unable to connect the dots. It is more than just a cozy mystery, with the paranormal elements and more-than-meets-the-eye characters. In Tarnished and Torn we finally meet Lily's father, who abandoned her as a baby. We discover more about their relationship (or lack there of) and perhaps more about how Aidan feels about Lily. Fans of this series will definitely enjoy some of the sub-plots that have continued on from the previous books.
For me, Xe Sands is the voice of this series. Her portrayal of the characters is beyond amazing. I particularly love the depth she gives to Lily's familiar, Oscar. Oscar is part gargoyle, part goblin and appears a pot-bellied pig. His suggestion on how to solve the case was to hire Miss Marple, and is aghast to find out that she doesn't exist and is made up! This scene alone had my laughing until I cried!! After having experienced the previous books as audiobooks I know I will definitely be continuing on with the series in audiobook format only. I wouldn't hesitate recommend this series to mystery fans and also paranormal fans. It's not one to be missed!
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... The man who never reads lives only one. ~George R.R. Martin
"Lily Ivory is saving San Francisco again."
It might have been my timing or the fact that I have been listening to this series too close together that made this book a little tedious. It wasn't until the second half that the book picked up some and I started to enjoy the story more. Of course that could be that Sailor came back into the story. I was going to be mad if he just disappeared from the book without a word. As with Juliet Blackwell's other books in this series the mystery is similar to the others in which it is slightly predictable. What makes this series good is the characters, they are like visiting old friends. I recommend reading this series in order. Narrator drags a little for me, her slow talking was a little bit of a head bob.
Like History, Business and Self-Improvement books. 32 year US Army veteran.
"excellent and entertaining!"
enthralling plot development with rapid pace excitement. Good character development! loved all the characters. Oscar the pig/gobgoyal was a hoot.
"Each Witchcraft Mystery book keeps getting better"
I like all of Juliet Blackwell's books, but especially love the Witchcraft Mystery series. While a witch is the main character, and her "familiar" is a pig, these are not horrifying stories. Each story has a good mystery and interesting characters that are centered around the good kind of magic.
Xe Sands is a FABULOUS narrator.
My only critique of the books is that they are too short, usually about 8 hours.
"Excellent read"
I found it hard to stop listening to this book. I love all of Juliet Blackwell's books and Xe Sands is the perfect person to narrate. She has this smooth sex appeal that flows evenly wether she's speaking a male or female voice.From beginning to end this book kept me interested and emotionally engaged. I love the characters and I would love for Lilly and Sailor to finally hook up, Lilly needs a steady partner in crime.
"Listened to one, listened to them all"
I was really enjoying this series, but this book was just lame. The mysteries have become predictable and formulaic. Probably 75% of the short book repeats things the author has said over and over and over again in previous books. There's no character development...except for Lily becoming a whiny, weak victim. My daddy was mean to me. My boyfriend(s) are total jerks whom I can't trust, but I'll go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt and wonder what's wrong with me because they're just too sexy to resist. Mundane humans attack me, and I do nothing to stop them, hoping some man will come along and rescue me.
"Really enjoyed this book!"
I have read books one through four and have really enjoyed this series. I have one book to go and hope there will be more books in this series.
For me yes as my eyesight is not very good. And hearing it is very refreshing.
Some of Victoria lauries books, they are entertaining but not too scary and they are wonderful to hear anytime of the year.
Yes, loved her accent
Not really I enjoyed the entire audible experience
I have read some of her books, but I really enjoy listening to them. And I look forward to the next one.
Say something about yourself!
"Loved It"
Have not read any of these, always the audio edition. Love the audible books.
She is awesome. the characters always sound the same from book to book.
Everyone one with Oscar and/or Sailor. Enjoyed this book very much.
Such fun books to listen to.

"Girl's Day Out Turns Deadly"
It's a girl's day out for the ladies from Lily Ivory's vintage clothing store Aunt Cora's Closet. There's a huge gem fair to be held at the COW Palace in San Francisco, and Lily, co-workers and friends Maya and Bronwyn are all standing in very long lines, waiting to enter. Finally the doors are opened, and they rush in to be met by an astoundingly huge sales floor. The ladies each take a different direction agreeing to meet in an hour by the food court.
Lily is attracted to a table full of jewelry and gemstones. The woman running the booth is disheveled and rushed, trying to unpack what she thinks will sell. She keeps striking up conversations, trying to sell this or that. In the end, she convinces Lily to take a box of what even she calls junk so she won't have to take it home, and she thrusts the box into her hands. Shortly thereafter, Oscar, in his pig form, began bounding about inside the Palace, even tho Lily had left him in the car. Suddenly small fires began breaking out across the arena. Lily and Oscar meet up and turned to be sure Griselda had gotten out before they leave, when Lily notices that blood is coming from underneath a large board on the ground. An old ritual to torture and sometimes kill witches called pressing had just made Griselda a victim, right beside them. They couldn't help Griselda, so Lily and Oscar ran out of the COW Palace and met back up with Maya and Bronwyn. They drove back to Cora's Closet while being followed by two older men. Waiting for them was one of SFPD's men to bring Lily in for questioning in the death of Griselda.
Lily was not a suspect; homicide detective Carlos Ramirez wanted to know if Lily knew anything of this practice and who would be capable of it. While talking with Ramirez, Lily is shocked to see her estranged father walk by, the same man who had abandoned Lily and her mother when she was very young. Even Lily's mother was overwhelmed with her upbringing and sent her to Mexico to live with her grandmother when she was 8. Lily is musing about family when she realizes that "One's role models can only do so much to shape our individual lives. When it comes right down to it, we each walk the path of this life alone, and make our decisions based on our own distinct beliefs, desires, and fears."
While Carlos did not suspect Lily, the two older men continued to follow her. Later on that team was replaced by two younger and not so smart men – Clem and Zeke. She ran into them literally, following the trail of the man who said he was Griselda's son from an inn to a hostel to a strip joint. Walking to the last, Zeke and Clem confronted her and wanted the ring Griselda supposedly gave her. Well, now she knew what everyone was looking for. Zeke and Clem moved only to be hit by the old men in their huge old car, sending them to the hospital.
When Lily returns to her apartment above the shop, Oscar is waiting for her. She had helped him get a library card, and he was reveling in reading and watching movies. He seemed to think he had the mystery of the ring all figured out. Aunt Agatha had said … when Lily interrupted him to explain that her books had been fiction, made up, pretend. Lies, said Oscar. He began anew with a supposition that what about this guy "Hercules somethingorother who was on the Orient Express train and figured out a real humdinger of a mystery. Boy, that was a tough one. We could hire him." Lily again explained that he was like Miss Marple, a made up person. Oscar's jaw dropped when he realized they were all "falsehoods." However, when Oscar asks if he can hire Sam Spade, a local boy, would Lily agree to that? She would.
Things actually did begin to come together even without Sam Spade. Everyone held a tiny piece of the story, and Lily actually figured out where the missing ring was. We'll have Oscar tell you all about it…

Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' re-enters Hot 100 after viral video
Listen to Michael Jackson on iHeartRadio
A Michael Jackson classic is making a comeback on the charts this week. Thanks to the viral video of California high school student Brett Nichols dancing to Jackson's "Billie Jean," the song has returned to the Billboard Hot 100 at number 14.
Nichols performs Michael's full dance from the "Motown 25" special in the talent show video. The clip also helped the song shoot up to number two on the Streaming Songs chart with more than eleven million streams in the U.S. in the past week.
When "Billie Jean" first debuted back in 1983, it stayed at number one on the Hot 100 for seven weeks.
Meantime, "Slave to the Rhythm," a track from Michael's new posthumous album Xscape, has entered the chart at number 45 this week. It marks the 50th Hot 100 entry by the late King of Pop's career.

Random rambling on a Monday
After perusing the Linux sites all weekend for something to write about, I didn't really find anything that jumped out at me and went "Blaaaaaaaaaagh!" in my face, to say nothing of fielding assorted questions about my writing, my philosophy and my sanity. Nevertheless, as I try not to write when I don't have anything to say — I hate to write for the sake of hearing myself speak — it was suggested to me that now that I've gotten into a rhythm of writing a lot on this blog, I should keep it up.
It's a tough business, this blogging.
So I thought I'd address a few things that came up over the past several days. But first, an apology to the Felton LUG on Saturday, since the archaic projector didn't work for anyone, including me, and I was unable to give a presentation that I would think most everyone in the room is glad they were spared. It was on the Linux Family Trees, and it came before the birthday party for Linux we held. Great cake, great group.
Someone suggested to me that I was not holding to the high journalistic standard of objectivity in my latest writings. He's right. I'm not being objective, since most of what I write is commentary, not Linux/FOSS news. I don't pretend to be a Linux/FOSS journalist — were I to be one, I'd certainly maintain the high standards of objectivity that I carry in my day job as a newspaper editor at a daily paper in Santa Cruz, California. But in this realm of Linux/FOSS and all the trappings that entails, I am not a journalist. I'm a commentator, with the emphasis on the root of that word, comment.
While I'm at it, let me address another observation I received in an e-mail. There's a monumental difference between censorship and asking someone to stop making the same complaint repeatedly after hearing it, say, for the 37th time. In "Moving on," I was not suggesting that people "shut up" — people should always speak up — but if you find you're not making headway, you always have the option to look for alternatives. That was one of the main points in the item, for those of you keeping score at home.
Time for breakfast, and as they say on IRC, back later.

Whatever you are doing you are doing it wrong.
Start here HowTo pick a guide and follow it. If you have problems then post back the specifics and we may be able to further help and guide you.
I don't mean to appear completely backward, but maybe it's unavoidable!?
I've downloaded the backtrack 4 ISO, and Unetbootin.
Extracted the ISO to a USB, no worries.
Directions instruct me to run bootinst.bat, which I can't find on the USB I've created.
(I'm using Windows XP for this process)
Is there an alternative route to achieve this process, or a place I can find the bat file?
I've searched all over but can't find an existing thread that answers this question.
The only ones google throws up are on the remote-exploit.org site that seems to be down right now.
Many thanks
Whatever you are doing you are doing it wrong.
Start here HowTo pick a guide and follow it. If you have problems then post back the specifics and we may be able to further help and guide you.
Thanks for the reply and for your help.
I followed this instructions, and got the USB bootable.
But thought I must have some problem, as when booting it comes up with errors to the effect of:
"Couldn't mount because of optional features"
then it continues with the boot, but does not get into any kind of graphic OS, just a prompt.
Any ideas?
What boot option should I be choosing on boot?
At the moment I'm downloading a fresh copy of the ISO and I'll try again.
Once again, many thanks. Must be a paint to deal with all us newbies.
That is, unless you're dropped to the busybox prompt. Then you gotta whole other can 'o' problems.
Cheers, and let us know how you're doing with this.
Last edited by xX_Spiidey_Xx; 02-06-2010 at 10:04 AM. Reason: busybox line
thou shalt treat all computers as thou wouldst treat thyself, for thou art the creator of thine own problems.
I was looking for the samething!
I downloaded the latest Backtrack 4 final.
I followed a usb guide which asked for "bootinst.bat"
I executed and ran unetbootin with bt4-final ISO with no problems
I go to boot up and get "error 15" which I am assuming has something to do with the new BT4 missing "bootinst.bat" file
So I am trying to get the latest BT4-Final on a usb stick. Do we need to download a previous version or Back Track to get this working?

CHICAGO -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association has published a manual that provides operators expert insight into best practices for operating a micromarket. It was authored by Dr. Michael Kasavana, NAMA's endowed professor at Michigan State University, and industry consultant Brad Bachtelle of Bachtelle and Associates.
NAMA's "Micromarket Operational Guidelines" manual covers market requirements, industry metrics and critical benchmarks. Its seven sections focus on micromarket merchandising, point-of-sale technology, transaction settlement systems, auxiliary services and administrative processes.
The manual also provides an overview of retail software, consumer analytics and menu engineering, as well as a checklist of micromarket criteria, a glossary of terms and sample store configurations.
The publication has a $500 value, but is available to NAMA members for an introductory price of $149 for the remainder of 2013. A preview is available and can be ordered on NAMA's website.
"The data and case studies in this manual make it relevant for any operator interested in micromarkets," said Joann DeNardis, NAMA's director of education and certification. "An incredible amount of research went into preparing this comprehensive publication."

hi everybody. ive got a Toshiba laptop with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network adapter and since i bought that craptop ive never been able to connect to any wireless network, both unsceured and secured (even though i actually always typed the WEP key correctly) T_T.
thx in advance for any help
Just to give an example, i went to a friend's place and he's got DSL modem with the WEP key written underneath. He can of course connect w/o any problem whereas i cant connect. and yeah i wrote the WEP key correctly. Is there a step or any additional device missing? If so i'll need as much details as possible. im not so familiar with that kinda thing.
The most likely reason why you are not able to connect to your friends wireless network is however that he has enabled MAC filtering, only allowing his own card to connect to the AP. If this is not the case your best advice is the one secure_it gave in his previous post, ask the same question on a Windows forum.

Hello! I´m testing my network! First I can crack it airodump and aireplay and aircrack, I can get my wep key! But I protect for use one valid ssl certificate.
I can get the key, but I can´t login because I don´t use my certificate! Can you help me to crack this, Or I´m secure with certificate?
Quite safe.
Maybe he has a macfilter in place. Also if you have windows questions -> use a windows forum.
