II - Introduction
Star Ocean is a marvelous RPG in the lines of Tales of Phantasia but can only
be in japanese import-style or through emulators and patched roms. After having
the opportunity to indulge in this great game and, like all RPG's I play,
wondering about the myriad of items and secrets it has, I decided to start a
cheat codes FAQ, with the original idea of mapping out ALL the 512 items which,
suffice to say, took a long time!
But, in the process of doing so I decided to create other beneficial codes,
such as the ever popular Infinite Gold Code (which in this game goes by the
name of Fol), Infinite Level Codes and the such. Doing so I learned a lot
about this game and in the end, all of you get free codes for this gem of a
The way of obtainment of every code featured in this guide, was through ZSNES
cheat menu, it is a built-in Hex Editor that allows anybody to actively search
for different values in the ROM's memory addresses and to change those values
through the usage of Pro Action Replay Codes. Thus that (instead of Game Genie
for example) is the medium to promote my codes. Also, I would like to point
out that all these codes were made by me through countless hours (about 3 :D)
of value searching, so you should be thankful :p
Also I would like to dedicate this guide to everybody who plays any kind of
games and has an interest in it, especially the ones I meet in some kind of
forum, these are the ones that make me do this kind of work.
III - Codes
7E028800 No Random Encounters
7E02737F Infinite Fol (9,999,999 Fol, it will always stay in that amount)
Instead of wasting time and effort in coding every stat for every slot, I have
coded everything for Slot 1, what you should do to max everybody's stat, is to
change the order of every character you want from their Slot to Slot 1 and
back to their original Slot. Since these codes max out every stat, they
overlook the Caps set into the game by the designers, i.e. every character whom
you max their Defense will have 5000 as its values (the capped max) but if the
character is the one on Slot 1 it will stay in 9999 (something impossible to do
without cheating).
If you are wondering why I didn't put the other Slot codes since 5000 and 9999
Defense are not the same, is because in the game, having 5000 Defense will make
EVERY enemy in the whole game hit you for 0 damage. So there is no difference,
except maybe for aesthetic reasons. But if enough people ask me about them, I
guess I'll have to code the other Slots in.
Also, if you play around with the Level code, you will see that it only changes
the level you are in (which in turn changes your Exp. needed to level up), so
if you have infinite level up's, your stats will 'naturally' go through the
roof, and if you do it in excessive amounts it will even continue past the
'limits', such as having 732 Strenght when it actually means 10732!
How to accomplish this you ask? Easy, set your Level to 1 and win a fight,
you'll receive enough Exp. to make you gain a Level but since the code
resets your Level to 1 you will keep gaining Levels over and over again until
you turn the code off! :D
7E743BXX Character in Slot 1 Level
7E748BXX Character in Slot 1 Experience
7E74B9XX Character in Slot 1 Skill Points
7E7431XX Character in Slot 1 Max HP
7E7433XX Character in Slot 1 Current HP
7E7437XX Character in Slot 1 Max MP
7E7439XX Character in Slot 1 Current MP

7E7446XX Character in Slot 1 Defense
7E7452XX Character in Slot 1 Accuracy
7E744CXX Character in Slot 1 Evade
7E02DBXX Number of Encounters
Just in case you don't want to add any of those values and just want to code
in a bunch of codes for the Slot 1 character so you can make Gods from the
beginning, then just input the following batch of codes, the all-mighty
God Codes (34 in total!) and you'll be set to go.
7E743BFF Character in Slot 1 Level (255, alias Master Level)
7E748BFF Character in Slot 1 Experience (99,999,999)
7E74B9E7 Character in Slot 1 Skill Points (999)

7E745E0F Character in Slot 1 Intelligence (9,999)
7E744E0F Character in Slot 1 Agility (9,999)
7E74420F Character in Slot 1 Constitution (9,999)

7E74520F Character in Slot 1 Accuracy (9,999)
7E744C0F Character in Slot 1 Evade (9,999)
The values for the equipment codes are given in the Item Codes section.
7E747DXX Character in Slot 1 Weapon Slot Byte 1
7E747FXX Character in Slot 1 Body Slot Byte 1
7E7481XX Character in Slot 1 Shield Slot Byte 1
7E7483XX Character in Slot 1 Head Slot Byte 1
7E7485XX Character in Slot 1 Legs Slot Byte 1
7E7487XX Character in Slot 1 Accessory 1 Slot Byte 1
7E7489XX Character in Slot 1 Accessory 2 Slot Byte 1
Here are the values to be added to any equipment code to obtain the item
prescribed in the following list.
How to obtain infinite items? Well, the best way to do so is by inputting an
equipment code with an item value (doesn't matter if your putting a Weapon
in your Shield Slot), after doing so, go to the Character in Slot 1
Equipment menu, press the A button twice on the recently coded Item, so you
would have effectively tried to unequip it, but since the code re-establishes
the item, you'll have one in your inventory and one equipped, doing this 20
times will net you the maximum amount you can carry of any item. After this,
proceed to turn off the code to equip your items as you see fit.
To avoid hard to explain (but easy to understand) glitches, you must have
unequipped the Equipment Slot you are going to use for Item Creation.
Note: Replace the XX in the equipment codes with the value featured before the
item you want. Also, whenever you see that a division ends with a * (such as
-WEAPONS-*) it means that when you code those items in, you'll have to identify
them first, and since many items repeat themselves over the list, try to find
one that doesn't need to be identified so you'll speed up the process.

Since Star Ocean has 512 items, the only way of accessing the rest of the items
should come very clear to you if you know something about Hex: 1 byte codes can
only go as far as the number 255 while counting in Hex, if we use 2 byte codes
we can count up 'till 65,535. We only need 512 tough. What all this means is
that the items are far from over. The next list of items work in the same way
the first one did, but instead of using one code to get them, we are going to
use TWO codes to do so! (Tech note: the items featured on this list could also
be obtained using 1 byte only, it involves something on the lines of address
interleaving, meaning that if you normally equip a sword in your weapon slot,
THEN tried to code in an item from the list, you'd get a completely different
one, the problem here is that you can't use the unequip trick to easily get 20
Tri-Emblems and you'd still lose the weapon you equipped).
Now, instead of creating a rather exhausting list with the codes per item, I
will simply instruct you all on how to 'create' the codes for the Items. If
you can work with Hex, consider yourself lucky and skip this, if not, then
You will add another code to the old equipment codes, and continue adding the
values for the first code, using the next item list.
Here are the new codes:
7E747E01 Character in Slot 1 Weapon Slot Byte 2
7E747001 Character in Slot 1 Body Slot Byte 2
7E748201 Character in Slot 1 Shield Slot Byte 2
7E748401 Character in Slot 1 Head Slot Byte 2
7E748601 Character in Slot 1 Legs Slot Byte 2
7E748801 Character in Slot 1 Accessory 1 Slot Byte 2
7E748A01 Character in Slot 1 Accessory 2 Slot Byte 2
As you can see, the values for all those Byte 2 codes is just 01, which
represents the first number in every other Item List code we have yet not
seen, which is 1. The way this works is that the next batch of items features
3 numbers, the first one is for the Byte 2 codes, but since Star Ocean stops
before having to use another number, the other two numbers are the values
you will use with the Byte 1 codes.
Say you want infinite Tri-Emblems in your Weapon Slot, you take a look at the
Tri-Emblem value ($1FF) which means that it belongs to the second batch of
Items meaning we are going to use 2 codes; the Weapon Slot Byte 1 code will be
7E747DFF (the last to digits of the Tri-Emblem value) and the Byte 2 code will
be 7E747E01 (the first digit of the Tri-Emblem value).
Tech note regarding the working of PAR codes, skip this if you just want codes.
Pro Action Replay (PAR) codes consist of two parts, the address and the value.
The address is where in the game's memory the object we are searching is
located, these are the first six digits of the code, and the value is
self-explanatory. It is the last two digits.
A typical PAR code, like the ones we've been using to hack items for ourselves,
looks like this:
XXXXXXYY (X = Address & Y = Value)
A more practical example would be:
7E747D84 (This code tells the Cheat Device/Emulator to search the object found
at Address 7E747D and give it the value of 84, which effectively gives us a
Fresh Bottle on the Weapon Slot for Ratix, even tough you're not supposed to
equip an item there!)
Now, this one-lined code (whose real genus is 1 byte code) has the limitation
of giving a value of no more than 255 (in hexadecimal notation, which is the
one this specific code for this specific game uses, 255 = FF). Now, already
knowing that Star Ocean has 512 items, how do we get past the limitation?
Easy, using 2 byte codes (meaning, two-lined codes) which have a limitation
of 65,535 when giving values, way more than what we need!

Note regarding the obtainment of all 512 items: After proofing every code, I
have finally obtained all 512 items, the deception came when a big chunk of
them (about 50 or so) were dummied out items without no real purpose (including
one with the description of 'No Strings'), a lot of 1-item repeated Research
Pen's & the same with Shadow Flowers, but hey, we weren't even supposed to get
near that number of items!!
A contributor, Majutsuko, decided one day to dig the codes for character
modification, and even tough I haven't tested them all I have found them to
be working and to be of quality. Any inquiries concerning these should be
addressed to him, his email is to be fund in the Credits section.
7E73E2xy ~ Slot 1 7E6FE2xy ~ Slot 5
7E74E2xy ~ Slot 2 7E70E2xy ~ Slot 6
7E75E2xy ~ Slot 3 7E71E2xy ~ Slot 7
7E76E2xy ~ Slot 4 7E72E2xy ~ Slot 8
NOTE: If you use these codes on an empty slot, the character will have all
zeros for stats.
SUBSTITUTION FOR x DIGITS
0 ~ Normal
NOTE: Setting any character as an NPC, who is never normally an NPC during the
game, will make him disappear (i.e. Ratix).
SUBSTITUTION FOR y DIGITS
0 ~ (Empty)
1 ~ Ratix
2 ~ Milly
3 ~ Dorn
4 ~ Ronixis
5 ~ Iria
6 ~ Cius
7 ~ Joshua
8 ~ Tinek
9 ~ Marvel
A ~ Ashlay
B ~ Perisie
C ~ Fear
The following is an example of how to swap Ratix with another character.
1. Go to the "Order" Screen, and place Ratix in Slot 1, and Milly in Slot 5.
2. Enter these codes: "7E73E202" (This writes Milly's sprite into Slot 1)
"7E6FE201" (This writes Ratix's sprite into Slot 5).
3. Now, select the character in Slot 1, and switch him with the character in
Slot 5.
4. Exit the "Order" Screen, and Save your game (or State-Save) with the codes
still ON.
5. Reload your game/state with the codes OFF.
NOTE: To put Ratix back into the battle party, simply go to the "Order" Screen
and switch him in normally, (you don't need codes to do this).
NOTE: If you use the codes properly as I've outlined, there will not be any
problems with your game. However, if you do something to corrupt it, find
help elsewhere because I will not be held responsible.

text: Art & Design 23 November 2010 One New Change: a review Is London ready for Jean Nouvel's new City shopping centre? Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML One New Change: three seemingly simple words, the street address in fact, though one can almost feel the agonising and painstaking thought (and thousands of pounds) that must have gone into choosing the name from (and to) countless PR, marketing and branding types, underneath this thin veneer of nominal simplicity. Or maybe, in it's ready made corporate splendor, "One New Change" suited Land Secruties, the developers of the mixed use complex, just fine? It couldn't be any better really, with its tripartite, sculpted, production line, Cameroonian sleekness. The City's new shopping mall by Jean Nouvel (his first permanent building in the UK) is a sleek, grey-brown burnished glass consumerist leviathan, full of sharp cantilevered edges and snide geometric tricks which mask its vastness. Unquestionably not in the same league as Nouvel's most celebrated creations - the Fondation Cartier and Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris - One New Change seems to bear a greater resemblance to Nouvel's temporary Serpentine pavilion, which opened this summer, with its similar minimalist slices of red metal juxtaposed against one another. The basic plan of the building is centred on a hexagonal atrium, where the lift shaft is, and spans out on four sides, leading into open "streets" which go into the adjacent roads and squares. This is clearly an attempt to tie the building into the City's heritage, to present the mall as a sort of post-modern Leadenhall market, if you will (hopefully we will not). Nouvel is more explicit about his desire to build within the architectural strictures of the City when commenting on what is undoubtedly the project's aesthetic coup de théâtre: the roof terrace, with its spectacular view of Wren's masterpiece of the English baroque, St Paul's. Rather than try and challenge the cathedral architecturally (an absurd idea, as any architect would know), Nouvel admits that he has purposefully made sure "the design is calm and deferential to St Paul's". It's a decision that's more than vindicated by the result, which is not just the finest view of St Paul's above street level, available gratis (for the moment at least), but one of the most thrilling panoramas of London's skyline to be seen anywhere. From the terrace, one can see the Barbican, Renzo Piano's unfinished Shard, City Hall, Southwark cathedral and, appropriately for a work that claims deference as one of its selling points, a good spattering of Wren and Hawksmoor's City churches. When it comes to the interior, the only things of note, in amongst the polished marble and stainless steel railings and the touch screen guides to the building, is that the shops here are more of the Topshop and Office variety than the Dior or Louis Vuitton of Shepherd's Bush's Westfield. This is no doubt the result of well informed market research carried out at the behest of Land Securities, who have backed One New Change to the pretty tune of £500 million, and judging by the fact that they have already let almost every available retail space in the building they are probably right. The press have, unsurprisingly, been rather mixed in their reaction to what the promotional website calls "London's newest shopping destination". The Evening Standard breathlessly called it "the most tangible sign yet that the economic recovery is underway", but Jonathan Glancey, the Guardian's architectural critic, accused Nouvel of "robbing the City of what passes for its soul". Glancey is almost certainly right, but either way I suggest you get up to the roof terrace and see what may be the best view of St Paul's in London whilst it's still free. › Why we're occupying Subscribe from just £1 per issue More Related articles Hokusai beneath the wave: meet the real artist behind the world's most plagiarised image Soul of a Nation: a revelatory exhibition telling the story of black art Should we blame art for Brixton's gentrification?

There's no reason to leave your dog alone at home anymore!
The Dog House is the newest hot spot for doggie daycare, overnight care when going away, and wonderful grooming — for good reason. Their spacious, clean facility provides a home away from home, filled with love, care, and fun. The friendly staff will give your dog the personal attention he or she deserves.
Ultra high ceilings, fresh air, and serene quiet give this place the feel of a doggie spa, not a kennel. The playground area has open "rooms" separated by baby gates. No cages here. Each room has a cot, bed bowl, and toys.
For special needs dogs that can't interact with other ones, The Dog House has private rooms where one doggie can stretch out solo with no other dogs around.
The atmosphere here is peaceful and calm … perfect for dogs that have separation anxiety. With a family oriented feel, the happy employees work together as a team.
Going in to the interview I'm greeted by a 9-year-old dog, Dixon. He's a very happy guy who welcomes me with a wagging tail and doggie kisses!
During my tour I notice in the break room instead of typical tables and chairs, there is a comfortable-looking sofa, TV, and dinette set. When I tell The Dog House owner Mary Farhad how pleasant the lounge is, she shares that she wants her staff to feel as if this is their second home, just like the animals.
The Dog House services include daycare, playground, grooming, and overnight care. They also have upcoming classes in dog training.
The Dog House is located at 816 N. Victory Blvd. in Burbank. Call (818) 859-7877 [PUPS] or visit TheDogHouseBurbank.com today!

Video Exeter City Promoted - at the Guildhall 2008
Exeter City Promoted - at the Guildhall 2009
The Grecians, as they are known, were formed with the merging of the Exeter United and St Sidwell's United teams. St Sidwell's United had formed from the regulars who frequented the Foresters Inn in Sidwell Street, although the public house was always known as the Drum and Monkey. When St Sidwell's beat Exeter United 3-1 in 1904, it was agreed that the two teams should merge. It was decided to make the combined home of the new club, Exeter United's pitch, St James' Park, which is situated close to the Southern Region railway line.
Lady Anne Clifford, set up a charity in memory of her mother in 1654. A field named 'Mountstephen' would be rented out near St Anne's Chapel to pay 'yearly to the world's end' for supporting an apprenticeship of 'one poor Child, Boy or Girl' who was born in St Stephen. The field was rented out for fattening pigs. The field was also used as an annual camp site for a travelling menagerie - the pigs remained as tenants for as long as 250 years. The terms of the lease allowing football to be played on such hallowed turf stated that "no menageries, shows, circuses or steam roundabouts" were to be allowed, apart of course, Manchester United in 2005!
The first combined game of the two clubs was a 2-1 win against the 110th Battery of the Royal Artillery in the East Devon League, watched by very respectable 600. Originally playing in green and white, the club changed to the more familiar red and white in 1910.
When they entered the Southern League in 1908 and went professional, the club thought it time to build their first grandstand. In July 1914 they had the honour of playing a 3-3 draw with the Brazil national side, when they toured South America. They were invited to join the Third Division of the Football League during 1920. In 1921, they sold their goalkeeper Dick Pym to Bolton Wanderers for £5,000, a large sum of money in those days, and they purchased their ground, St James' Park with the proceeds. It was during the 1920's, that Ladysmith School had a trophy winning side which included a young player from Heavitree, called Cliff Bastin. The young Bastin became a City player before being sold to Arsenal - he went on to score 178 goals in 396 appearances for Arsenal, only to be passed by Ian Wright in the 1990's. He also went on to play for England, 21 times.
It was in 1925, that the terracing opposite the grandstand was given a roof. It was a short grandstand, as it burnt down soon after, only to be replaced by a new, super deluxe, General Strike delayed, grandstand named the Cowshed, in 1926!
It was in 1931 that the legendary Dido the Seagull first made his appearance for the Grecians, perching on the crossbar during their FA Cup run in which they reached the sixth round, only to be knocked out by Sunderland in the replay at St James' Park 4-2, in front of their largest ever home crowd of 20,984. It was certain that when Dido appeared, Exeter did well. Dido (or his descendants?) appeared from time to time over the following years, to ensure the club kept winning - unfortunately he often had other duties on Saturday, leaving the Grecians to lose a few games. He became so famous that he was immortalised in stone by a Cathedral mason and is now perched on the north side of the Cathedral alongside Bishop Mortimer, who apparently was also a fan.
City were runners up in their League in 1933, when their top goal scorer Fred Whitlow hit the back of the net 33 times. In 1937, City supporters fixed a stuffed Dido onto a pole and carried it through the streets of Preston, prior to their match with the First Division club. It is obvious that a 'stuffed Dido' does not reach those parts that the real Dido does, as they lost 5-3 to North End. It was in November 1946 that Dido was caught by three Exeter City fans and was subjected to a harsh training regime (you know the sort of thing - strutting menacingly, flapping wings and crapping on the opposition goalie!) to get him up to standard for their next away game at Bournemouth, in the FA Cup. Alas, poor Dido was exhausted by the road journey to the match and the unaccustomed exercise, and City lost 5-3. It was in 1958, that the Fourth Division was created and Exeter where one of the clubs to play from the start.The 1961 season saw a stuffed imposter in a glass case, offered to the club by Miss Hill-Willis of Heavitree Road - City also ended up stuffed that season, being knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league Dartford. It was in the 1963-4 season that saw Exeter promoted to Division Three - this proved to be only a short stay as they slid back to Division Four two years later - guess the pesky Dido was off feathering his nest! Then in 1977, under Bobby Saxton, they went up to the Third again, helped by their prolific striker Tony Kellow who scored 129 goals for the club in total.
They inevitably slid back to Division Four only to be promoted under ex-Leeds United and England winger, Terry Cooper, as manager in 1990. The 1990's were not kind to the Grecians with another slide to Division Four and financial troubles. They tried different managers, including Alan Ball, of the England World Cup Winning side of 1966 but they struggled to make an impression. Then St James Park was sold to Beazer Homes, and the club went in administration in the middle 1990's. In 1996, Exeter City Council stepped in and bought the ground back off the developers, and leased it back to the club. Financial problems continued to add to their woes, and they were relegated to the Conference League under their manager John Cornforth, (my namesake and possible cousin), in May 2003. On the 100th anniversary of the club in 2004, the Brazil national side visited St James Park for a return match which the visitors won 1-0.
And to bring the story up to date - Exeter managed a superb 0-0 draw against Manchester United in the FA Cup Third Round on Saturday 8th January 2005. Dido must have given the United team hell!
Unfortunately, in the replay of the 19th January 2005, Exeter lost 0-2 to Manchester United in a match that gave the FA Cup Champions few problems. If Dido had had his full complement of tail feathers, it would have been 3-2 to Exeter.
The Grecians won promotion to League Division 2 after a play off final at Wembley on Sunday 18 May 2008. They beat Cambridge United 1-0 after Rob Edwards scored the winning goal on 22 minutes, a goal that was only his second of the season. The second half was a nerve racking time as Cambridge United pressed forward to get an equaliser, while Exeter squandered a couple of great chances to increase their lead. To get to the final they had two nerve racking games against Torquay United. On 59 minutes of the second game at Torquay, the home side scored making the aggregate 3 - 1 in their favour. All seemed lost, but the lads fought back and scored four goals in 30 minutes to make an aggregate win of 5 - 3 to City. You could say that Dido returned and squashed the Gulls.
In 1908 the club supporters had a vote to adopt a nickname and the old, traditional name for those who lived in St Sidwells won - the name was 'The Grecians'.
There is at least one reference to the name dating from as early as 1669:
"Yesterday, the gardeners and hatters of the number of 300 marched to the works likewise... and this day, 300 Grecians of the Parish of St. Sidwell's... with eight drums, two trumpets, and other sorts of music."
There are several other possible explanations of the origin of the name. One story is that there was a group of kids in St Sidwells who were referred to as the 'Greasy Un's'. A second possible, but unlikely source for the name was a clock that hung outside a jeweller's shop in Sidwell Street, close to the ground, which had the word 'Grecians' engraved or painted on the face.
A third possible source for the name is that it is a corruption of Caerwysc, the Roman name for Exeter. Citizens would have been called Caer Iscuns which became Grecians.
The likeliest explanation is that the local boys of St Sidwell's fought the boys of the city during the annual beating the bounds. The city boys wore blue, the Tory colour and the St Sidwells boys wore the Whig colour, yellow. Because the St Sidwell boys were outside the city wall they were referred to as though they were Greeks outside the walls of Troy. This traditional name was also used in the 19th century, when the plaintiffs in court cases from St Sidwells were referred to as Greeks or Grecians.
There is a Grecian entrance gate at the ground.

Stars rewrite work after US attack
Television shows including Friends have reportedly been rewritten, while two rock bands have reworked their music in the wake of the attacks on the US.
The globally popular hit TV comedy Friends had to re-shoot an episode, according to a report in Thursday's Philadelphia Inquirer.
"Two weeks ago, that would have been ridiculous - it's not ridiculous now," Friends executive producer David Crane was quoted as saying.
"A lot of the comedy in it didn't feel funny, so we re-shot the story line."
Another TV series, also produced by NBC, may be postponed.
Aaron Sorkin, the creator of political drama The West Wing, has asked the network to postpone the show's season premi�re, currently scheduled for next Wednesday.
Mr Sorkin is said to be concerned with how viewers will respond to the White House drama's political tone, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
'Valiant response'
Heavily-hyped rock band The Strokes have delayed the American release of their debut album Is This It from 25 September to 9 October so as to remove a track called New York City Cops - which is believed to be less than complimentary about the force.
International editions of the album, which has already been a UK number two, will not be changed.
A pop video by The Cranberries has also been withdrawn from TV and the band's website because some of the scenes echoed images from last week's events.
The video was filmed in London and features shots of a plane flying over the city, and a character walking by the outline of a dead body.
'Horrific images'
Record company MCA said that the video, which accompanies the band's new album Wake Up And Smell The Coffee, was being re-edited.
Cranberries member Fergal Lawler posted this message to fans on their website: "The incidents in New York, Washington and elsewhere in the USA were the most horrific, saddening images I have ever seen. I've felt sick and numb since then.
"I would like to offer our sincerest sympathy to anyone who was affected.''
He said that the release of the film, Collateral Damage, has now been put off indefinitely.
"As soon as this happened the first thing I did was I went to the phone and I called Warner Brothers," said the Hollywood star.
"I called the producers and the studio executives and I said let's get together for a meeting right away because I think our movie has to be postponed."
Another film to be postponed is Disney's of Bad Company, an action-comedy starring Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock which was due for a December release.
The postponement was announced on Wednesday as the film revolves around a CIA operation and features a band of terrorists as the villains.
It will now be released in 2002.

I can hardly believe that it's been a month since my last post. But what a month! Full of amazing web 2.0 adventures.
In my last post I wrote about the successful launch of Ning with my 16-year old students as part of their Elective English Class. Only two students didn't join as they claimed they didn't have either a computer or the Internet access. However, after seeing what fun the other students were having, they suddenly got both a computer and the Internet access. Now I can't say they are eagerly participating in our online class, but they're there with us, and that's what matters. With time, their attitude might change.
Anyway, I decided to integrate glogsterEDU, an excellent tool for creating mulitmedia posters, in my classroom. I wanted my students to present parts of Croatia to their peers from all over the world so I set up a wiki where they could display their glogs. We called it the Greetings from the world project and after several weeks of total addiction (hence my absence from blog world) we got the first few glogs embedded. It took only several tweets by my dear twitter friends for the project to go global.
So, join us, world! We would like to know more about you. Tell us what travel books can't. Share your world with us. There are no age limits for this project. Everyone is welcome. Especially the young and the young @ heart.

Security Alert: Attention All AIM Users
I'm sure many of you out there use AOL's Instant Messenger program of AIM, am I right? I mean, why wouldn't you? It provides you with a great source for instant communication between friends, loved ones and business contacts. Now, while all of those types of communication are loved by all, it seems as if some new security issues have been identified within the AIM software. Read on for the important details!
On September 25, 2007, a security issue was identified that affects several versions of the AIM software. This security hole may allow hackers to take over your computer as well. If that happened, they would be able to download other viruses to your system, use it to hack other users' computers or even access your personal information. Yikes!
This vulnerability affects the following AIM versions:
AIM Pro
AIM Lite
To check and see what version of AIM you are using, open your AIM program, click on the Help button and then click on the About AIM option. You will then see a screen that looks like this:
You can see your version number in the middle of the screen.
Now, this attack is accomplished by someone sending you an instant message with a hidden Internet code. That code is then executed by the bad versions of AIM, allowing them access to your system.
So, how do you fix this problem?
Well, according to AOL, the best way to fix this issue is to upgrade to a new version of AIM, located at http://beta.aol.com. Once there, click on the link that says "AIM 6." That is the most current version of AIM and it will help to close this security hole in the AIM software. Therefore, it will not be able to affect you any longer!
And, as always, make sure you keep your antivirus and Internet security software up to date at all times. If you do all that I have suggested today, you will be just fine.
Until next week, stay safe out there!

This then so far shows that there is a silting forward of the land.
Intrigue, and riot, and suppression, and the silting up of the Zwyn were driving trade from Bruges.
Navigation is not yet impeded by the deposits; and the rate at which the harbour is silting up—one-third of one per cent.
Bruges, however, had now ceased to be the central market and exchange of Europe, owing to the silting up of the river Zwijn.
Hence when the discharge is large there is danger of erosion, and when it is small of silting or obstruction by weeds.
The Laguna Madre has become dried up, however, due to the silting up of its channels.
In the 16th century the port began to dwindle in importance owing to the silting up of the Seine estuary and the rise of Havre.
Outside the rain swept steadily against the glass with a soft, silting sound.
Before the silting up of Poole Harbour the sea came nearer to its walls than it does now and the river was much wider.
Great banks of sand 20 feet high line the river-beds, and wash away with the heavy rains, which contribute to the silting up.
mid-15c., originally "sediment deposited by seawater," probably from a Scandinavian source (cf. Norwegian and Danish sylt "salt marsh"), or from Middle Low German or Middle Dutch silte, sulte "salt marsh, brine," from Proto-Germanic *sultjo- (cf. Old English sealt, Old High German sulza "saltwater," German Sulze "brine"), from PIE *sal- (see salt (n.)).
"to become choked with silt" (of river channels, harbors, etc.), 1799, from silt (n.). Related: Silted; silting.
A sedimentary material consisting of grains or particles of disintegrated rock, smaller than sand and larger than clay. The diameter of the particles ranges from 0.0039 to 0.0625 mm. Silt is often found at the bottom of bodies of water where it accumulates slowly by settling through the water.

and What Are the Chances of "Hollow" Effect? I am quite interested in lower trans bleph. My questions: 1) What are the chances of ending up with a "hollowed" look 5-10 years down the line? Why does that even happen? If it can go from "normal" to "hollow", the fat must be shrinking as we age, so why can't it go from "bag" to "normal"? What can the doc to do prevent this? 2) Are there photos/detailed testimonials of day-by-day recovery process? Is it 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks? Is it just swollen a bit, or all purple?
Lower Transconjunctival Blepharplasty: Day-by-day Recovery Details/testimonials? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Removing Eyelid Fat and the "Hollow" Effect
The eyeball is surrounded by fat within it's boney socket. This boney socket is cone-shaped. So there is a downward slope from the back of the socket to the front. Therefore gravity is always pulling this "peri-orbital" fat downward and forward. After years of this constant pulling, the fat of the lower eyelid bulges forward, rather than becoming more "hollow". The "hallow" is produced by the relative depression that occurs just below the bulging fat, which tends to deepen even more as gravity pulls the tissues in this area below the fat bulge downward. (The upper middle and lateral eyelid fat can also recede and start looking more hollow - again, due to gravity's effect on the fat behind the upper eyelid).
In any case, an area of bulging fat in the lower eyelid always makes a person look tired or weary. To address this bulge, the surgeon can either remove the bulge (fat) itself, or build up the relative depressions around it (especially under it) with either your own fat or with a synthetic "filler" material -- or even do a combination of removing and building up. Which method is used, and how it is used, is determined by how natural and aesthetic the result will be with either method.
In your case, the most natural look would be achieved by removing some of the fat surgically along the entire length of the under-eye area and filling in the "tear trough" area (below the medial part of the bulge nearer the nose) with some of the removed fat. This is called "lower eyelid fat transposition" surgery, where fat from an area of excess is released and then advanced into an area where there is too little fat.
Most people take 2 weeks off of work after having this procedure done. Bruising and swelling can be minimized by the meticulous technique of the surgeon combined with proper post-surgery care by the patient.
Trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty
Orbital fat should always be removed through trans-conjunctival approach for best results. The amount of fat removed will determine whether not too much or not enough was taken Resorption of fat does not occur 5 and 10 years after the procedure.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty vs. Fat Transposition Lower Blepharoplasty
Thank yo for the question and your photo. You bring up some very valid concerns and important issues. The transconj lower bleph removes fat via an incision inside the lower eyelid. The benefit of this approach is the relatively quick recovery. However, the problem is that many patients will end up looking hollow. Removing the fat from this area can give a smoother contour to the lower eyelid/upper cheek region. However, with time and further changes in the fat of the cheek, the eyes often look sunken or hollow. In my practice, I perform a fat transposition lower blepharoplasty. In this procedure, the fat from the under eye area is used to fill in the hollow area under the eyes (tear trough region) and is connected to the cheek fat. This gives a smoother appearance and a fuller, more youthful cheek and lower eyelid. Lastly, this approach allows extra skin and muscle to be removed at the same time, if needed. Best of luck moving forward!

Lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty questions
When a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty is performed, excess fat is removed through the inner part of the eyelid to improve the bags under the eyes. If too much fat is removed, it can result in some hollowness beneath the eyes. If this occurs, it would be noticeable fairly soon after the surgery and not occur 5-10 years later. The recovery period is about a week, but can vary by individual. Some people may get bruising while others do not. The amount of swelling can also vary. I would say for most people, the eyes look presentable after a week.

Reykjavik (AFP) May 22, 2011
The Grimsvoetn volcano under Iceland's largest glacier began erupting Saturday, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said, reporting a tall plume of smoke rising from the crater.
"An eruption at Grimsvoetn has started and there's an airplane on its way there now to investigate further," Haraldur Eirkisson of the office told AFP.
"There was a cloud rising up from Grimsvoetn around 1900 GMT and at just before 2000 GMT it had reached an altitude of 11 kilometres (6.8 miles)," he added.
Another meteorologist at the same office, Fridjon Magnusson, told AFP less than two hours later that the column of smoke had swelled to reach an altitude of 20 kilometres.
Grimsvoetn is Iceland's most active volcano, having erupted nine times between 1922 and 2004. It lies beneath the Vatnajoekull glacier in the southeast of the North Atlantic island nation.
The eruption in April last year of Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano, southwest of Grimsvoetn, shut down large swathes of European airspace for almost a month amid fears the volcanic ash could wreak havoc on aircraft engines.
No two volcanic eruptions are the same, and it remained unclear late Saturday if the new eruption threatened to emit a similar kind of ash -- fine, with very sharp particles -- like the massive plume that burst from Eyjafjoell.
"The eruption has not yet spread very far, and is still looming over the Vatnajoekull glacier," Magnusson pointed out.
"These are just the first few hours of the eruption. We can't say yet whether this will have an effect on air traffic like Eyjafjoell," he added.
The problem with last year's eruption, which caused the planet's biggest air space shutdown since World War II, was according to the researchers that it happened under a glacier, bursting through 200-300 metres (yards) of ice.
It was the "interaction between the cold water and the hot magma that made the particles really tiny," and therefore especially dangerous to aircraft, Susan Stipp, a professor at the Nano-Science Centre at the University of Copenhagen, told AFP late last month.
"The (ash) particles were small so they went high and far. They were sharp, so they were a danger to airplane windows. It's like sand-blasting the airplane. And they were small and could melt at temperatures common in jet engines ... and could cause failure," she told AFP.
While Saturday's eruption had sent smoke high in the sky, Magnusson pointed out that there so far was only "heavy ash at the bottom of the bloom (that) has not reached high heights."
Bjarni Steinthorsson, a farmer who lives near the Vatnajoekull glacier, meanwhile told the Morgunbladid daily's website small amounts of ash had begun falling in the area and "the snow is getting darker."
He said that he expected more ash to fall overnight, although what happened would depend on the direction of the winds, which were currently almost still at the eruption site.
Iceland's State Road Authority meanwhile announced late Saturday it had temporarily closed a road near the glacier that is part of the national highway system.
Grimsvoetn is also located under a glacier, in an enormous, eight-kilometre (five-mile) diameter caldera -- a collapsed volcanic crater -- near the centre of the Vatnajoekull icefield.
When it last erupted in November 2004, volcanic ash fell as far away as mainland Europe and caused minor disruptions in flights to and from Iceland.
Geologists had worried late last year the volcano was about to blow when they noticed a large river run caused by rapidly melting glacier ice.
Eruptions at Grimsvoetn traditionally result in massive flooding, although this has little impact since the surrounding areas are uninhabited.

PMC-Sierra's META 20G was selected as the Editor's Choice Award winner by Communications Weekly, one of the most influential communications magazines in China. The editorial team recognized the "META solution for enabling IP over OTN transport on Carrier Ethernet Switcher/Router (CESR), which consequently will expedite OTN network deployment." The magazine went on to state that OTN is the clear trend to make the next generation transport network a reality.
PMC's META 20G device allows Carrier Ethernet Switch and Router (CESR) equipment to seamlessly connect to emerging Metro Optical Transport Networks (ITU-T G.709 OTN). With Carriers worldwide transitioning their networks to OTN for optimized transport of IP services, the META 20G permits a converged OTN infrastructure across IP and optical equipment, with unified end-to-end network management. The device integrates Carrier Ethernet mapping and framing of 10GE LAN and WAN, and OTN mapping of IP-services such as Storage Area Networks (SAN) and video protocols, while maintaining support for deployed technologies such as Packet over SONET/SDH (POS).
The META 20G belongs to PMC's OTN product portfolio, which includes the HyPHY 20G and HyPHY 10G for Packet Optical Transport Platforms (P-OTP) and Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPP). The portfolio provides a chipset solution for end-to-end integration of OTN across metro networks.

Infonetics Research recently released excerpts from its OTN Deployment Strategies: Global Service Provider Survey, for which carriers in North America, Asia Pacific, EMEA, and CALA were interviewed about their plans for optical transport networks.
Andrew Schmitt, directing analyst for optical at Infonetics Research noted that "All of the carriers we interviewed for our OTN survey have deployed OTN interfaces in transport applications, and based on conversations aside from this survey, we know very few major carriers in general will 'skip' OTN. There is a huge shift between now and 2014 in the area of optical switching, with the number of carriers with plans to deploy OTN interfaces on electrical switching equipment rising from 37% to 84%."

A Tutorial on ITU-T G.709 Optical Transport Networks
The SONET/SDH network that has grown to be the backbone of most of the modern telecommunications network was originally designed for optical interfaces that used a single wavelength per fiber. As optical component technology has advanced, it has become more economical to transmit multiple SONET/SDH signals over the same fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) rather than going to a higher rate SONET/SDH signal. Based on experience with the SONET/SDH networks, the ITU-T defined a transport network that was optimized for cost-effective transparent transport of a variety of client signals over WDM networks. The optical transport network (OTN) architecture is specified in ITU-T Rec. G.872 and the frame format and payload mappings are specified in G.709. This white paper provides a tutorial overview of OTN, with primary emphasis on ITU-T G.709. The white paper also discusses various constraints that influenced the development of G.709, its current status in the network, and some factors that will affect its future.

I am trying to get an IPsec tunnel to work from a laptop (wireless) to the monowall (V1.2) and then
the WAN. I do not want the tunnel (and WLAN) to have acess to the LAN. I have three (3) NICs (WAN,
LAN and WLAN). My present configuration works great with the LAN totally isolated from the WLAN.
I have followed the dirrections in a previous post (edain.de/howtos/wlan_protection.shtml) but they
are designed to allow WLAN to LAN tunneling which I do not want.
Any comments on alterations to the configurations? Help would be appreciated. Thanks
Was wondering if the Local Subnet on the IPsec edit tunnel page could be set to" Network" or "Single
host" and if so would the address be the IP address of the WAN or WLAN NIC?

I have MS, and whenever I get sick or upset, our Maltese, Biggie Smalls, pees on the rug in our bedroom—odd, as it's also his favorite place to play. We've replaced the rug many times, and even though we watch Biggie, we rarely see him do the deed. He also pees and has diarrhea everywhere when we leave him at friends' homes, but other than this, he's a wonderful dog. Any ideas?A:
Your dog is very much in tune with you, but he doesn't know how to react to your biological changes in a helpful way. He becomes afraid and pees, when what he needs to do is alert people to your distress. Try using his sensitivity as a positive starting point and getting in touch with a center that trains MS therapy dogs. They'll steer Biggie in the right direction and make him the kind of asset he wants to be. His behavior in other houses is linked to his behavior at home; once that's addressed, the rest will resolve itself. Encourage this dog; you have a real opportunity here.

Cesar, How do I become calm-assertive? Fourteen years ago, my 90-pound Border Collie/Lab mix, Toby, was attacked by a Rottweiler as I was walking him on a leash. The dogs fought furiously, and though -neither was hurt, I was completely traumatized. And to this day, I continue to be! Toby died two years ago, and three months later I adopted Turbo, an 18-month-old Black Lab/Pit Bull mix who's wonderfully trained. But -although I no longer scan for other dogs when we're out walking (or run back home when I see one!), I still haven't conquered my fear of them. I've learned a lot from your TV programs; I even know how to be calm-assertive—until another dog comes into view. As soon as one does, I become tense and fearful, and, of course, Turbo goes on alert and becomes determined to protect me. Turbo is wonderful, and I want him to have all the freedom and friends he deserves. But as long as I keep going into panic mode at the simple thought of another dog, I know that's not going to happen. Is there any way I can have the life with my dog that I dream of?A:
First, let me tell you that some very -positive things are going on here. One is that you obviously have the ability to see -reality—you're clear that when the Rottweiler attacked, no one was hurt. And the second good thing is that you're aware of your own tension and the effect that it's having on Turbo. When I help people change their state of mind in -order to change their energy, it's sometimes very tough to get them to own their feelings—and to admit to the damage those feelings are doing—so be happy you've already mastered that.
Once we've lost control of our emotions, though, what none of us can do on our own is change our behavior. To help guide you through that part of the process, I would advise you to turn to someone you trust and respect. This person doesn't have to be a therapist or professional of any kind. In fact, a loyal friend—one who's calm and confident around dogs—is probably your best bet. With your friend at your side, take Turbo for his walk—and when you see another dog approaching, keep moving toward him. Stay four to 10 feet from the dog you're afraid of for a while, identify all the fearful thoughts you're having, and write them down. Keep hanging out near the dog until you've started to relax. The energy you draw from your calm, confident friend is what will enable you to complete this exercise. Repeat it as often as you need to, until you've achieved your goal of a fear-free walk. And if you find you're losing faith, just keep reminding yourself that the only way to get out of a tough situation is to go through it. Good luck!

I live on a farm in New Mexico with a number of animals, including an eight-year-old Pit Bull named Tank (who I've had since he was eight weeks old). The problem is that Tank attacks my large animals—but he does it only when guests are here! He's fine with our chickens, cats, and other dogs, but last night he attacked a donkey in front of friends who were visiting from Costa Rica. Earlier this year, when people were over, he attacked a bull, and before that, a goat. Other than this, he's a great dog. Is there anything I can do? My friends are telling me to put him down ("three strikes" and all that), but of course I don't want to.A:
Because Tank behaves this way only when new people come over, we need to consider that your guests are altering the reactions of your animals—your bull, donkey, and goat. Since this is possible, why not have the dog on a leash until people who are new in the environment become knowledgeable enough that they can help your farm animals feel comfortable? Everybody's curious, but when the dog feels that the bull, donkey, or goat is becoming nervous, excited, or tense, it's normal for him to try to protect or help the humans.
I don't see a reason to put Tank down. In that case, let's not invite people over! I'm kidding, of course, but why not understand prevention? The leash is the way to do it, and I'd also use a Halti. Obviously this was horrible to watch, but it could have been prevented—because of the fact that your dog is attacking only when visitors come.

My 13-year-old Pug/-Boston Terrier mix has malformed vertebrae and is slowly but surely losing neurological function in his back legs. His lower-body control is already so poor that he doesn't even know when he's pooping, and he's stumbling more and more. I know I need to make a decision about either getting him a cart or putting him down. My friends are giving me all kinds of conflicting advice, but since I don't know if dogs feel shame or embarrassment, I wonder what Puggy's preference would be. He's been treated by a chiropractor/acupuncturist, we've tried steroids, and he's currently taking glucosamine and chondroitin and a supplement called Ligaplex II. During the summer I make sure he swims a lot, and I always make sure he gets lots of exercise. I have some time before he stops walking altogether, so any advice you have would be much appreciated.A:
Your decision comes down to Puggy's quality of life. If he shows willingness to stay alive, that's coming from his mind, and that's what I would choose to honor. If it's his body alone that's failing, I would make an effort to show him my appreciation by using devices like wheels to help him get around. When we provide some kind of stimulation to the body, this can often give us a few more years of life. This is my hope for both of you.

In February 2009, we unexpectedly lost our dog of seven years, just two weeks after we brought our newborn daughter home. After our grieving period, we started looking for another dog, but I can't seem to get comfortable with the idea of bringing a new one into our house. I'm nervous about an unfamiliar dog being around my daughter, and I don't want to start out with that kind of negative energy.
How do I make sure I'm bringing the right dog home? And how do I regain my confidence as a pack leader? I've always loved dogs and was so looking forward to raising my child in a home with one. Thanks for all you do.A:
Before you fully commit to adopting a new pet, why not try fostering a dog? This way you'll have an opportunity to get to know him without feeling truly attached or obligated. As you learn more about him, if you begin to sense that he's the right dog, that feeling will help you reconnect with the pack-leading side of yourself.
It's learning to trust a dog that's the real key to your feeling comfortable again. In any relationship, it's the trust that comes first. Then comes respect, and, finally, loyalty. All together, they equal love.

When I was a kid, I was bitten by a dog, and ever since, I become a bit fearful when a person with a dog passes me on the street. I always freeze a little and avoid looking at the dog, and sometimes the dog notices and it makes him curious.
My two questions are: How can I become more comfortable around dogs (especially the big ones), and how should one behave when a dog -approaches in an aggressive way? My first impulse is to run, although I know that isn't right. I've wondered about these things for so long, and I hope you can give me a clear answer. (Your show recently started airing in the Netherlands, where I'm from, and I instantly became a huge fan!)A:
You're absolutely right about not running away, and about the idea that a dog can pick up on the fact that you're fearful. The best way to conquer your fear, I think, would be to ask someone who has a dog-walking business to let you come along with him when he walks his dogs. And whenever you're with that person, ask as many questions as possible. The more you learn about the -mechanics of a dog's mind, the more confident you'll come to be.

My 14-year-old female Westie has been sleeping with me for 13 and a half years. I'd like to break this habit and have her sleep in a dog bed, but when I try, she screeches and cries (very loudly) all night. I've tried crating her, putting her in another room, and moving the step table she uses to get onto the bed, but my efforts only result in sleepless nights for both of us. I realize what a mistake I've made, and I won't make it again—but is my dog simply too old to handle change? Should I just let things go and learn from my mistake? I don't want her last years to be stressful.A:
It's never too late for a dog to change, and -although the change will entail some sacrifices, the pain won't last forever. Your Westie has spent her life manipulating humans with her howling and whining, and she's learned that she can control them. All change will be uncomfortable at this point in a dog's life, but if you want to make it happen, you can.
Start by crating her at night on weekends and on holidays—the times when you can probably sleep a little later if her antics have kept you awake. And don't forget the importance of picturing what you want. By repeatedly visualizing a tranquil sleeping environment for both you and your dog, you will help create the energy that makes it a reality. Don't feel bad about what you're doing, but remember: Your Westie has been sleeping with you for 14 years, so you do need to give her time.

Wyatt, our six-year-old newly adopted Beagle mix, has been exhibiting some distressing behaviors, and I'm not sure how to deal with them. Though my husband and I keep the radio and TV on when we go out, he seems to be experiencing major separation anxiety—howling and crying when we're gone (I can hear him from the street), when we come home, and when he encounters another dog or human being.
I've never been a calm person—I always lacked self-confidence—and to make matters worse, I have ADHD and ODD (oppositional defiance disorder), and I'm bipolar. Although I've been teaching Wyatt to shake and catch and am working on heeling, he constantly breaks his learned patterns, and I think it's because he's picking up on my anxiety and other problems. Also, I don't know if this is relevant, but my dad—who was 6-foot-4 and had the same psychological difficulties I have—always rolled up a newspaper to hit our dogs, the first two of which were Chihuahuas. Help!A:
It sounds as though your dog is saying, "I want to work—to serve—but no one's giving me that job." Why not take advantage of this situation and make your Beagle mix your therapy dog—train him to help you deal with your anxiety. It's almost like getting him to see, and then, in essence, getting him to say, "You don't look fine; let me help you." Look for specific advice—in books or online—on how to train a Beagle mix to become a therapy dog. It's not just German Shepherds and Retrievers who are up to the job. Any dog who is calm can take on the role.
Try to find activities—like walking—where you can help your dog help you. A dog always creates a more socially interactive environment, and people often perceive you as being more friendly or outgoing when they see you with a dog. Once you start to sense you're being perceived that way, it may even help to quell some of your nervousness. As far as your question about your father, it's impossible for me to say how his behavior may or may not be influencing you. What I can tell you, though, is that who you are now is more important than where you came from or what happened in the past.

London Longlegs, our rescue hound, has become obsessed with flashy ceiling reflections created by utensils and other shiny objects. This started in the kitchen, when we would move his metal feed pans to and from the counter, and now when anything at all—a piece of foil, a person's watch—causes a light to dance on any ceiling, he goes nuts, barking and trying to reach the source of his obsession. I tried putting him into a "sit," but it didn't work. Was that the wrong technique? What should I do?A:
It's natural for a dog to follow smells; it isn't natural for him to follow lights. And since you describe London Longlegs as "going nuts" when he sees those flashes of light, I'd say his behavior has reached an obsession level—meaning he's in a red-zone phase that won't be cured by -reframing his expectations with food or toys. On the show, if I see that a dog is escalating toward this type of fixated state, I'll pull on his leash to break the spell. It's never done to hurt, and it's never done with negative energy. It's more like what you do when you're having a conversation with a friend who isn't paying enough attention—even though you've tried getting it by saying his name a few times—so you finally touch his arm or shoulder. You're just trying to say, "Snap out of it!"
Remember, though, that timing is really important. A dog can go from zero to 10 in one second, so use that physical touch as soon as you sense London Longlegs veering toward obsessive behavior. Just make sure to keep the energy positive—don't touch him as though you're sad or feeling sorry. Also, once his fixation level has gone beyond 10, he's in a red zone and it's time to walk away. Give him time to cool off, just like you would with a person.

I have a pair of two-and-a-half-year-old yellow Lab mixes from the same litter who've been inseparable since birth. Although I know they both need their daily exercise, I'm a hiker, and I'm wondering if it's OK to take one dog hiking with me one day while the other stays home, and then take the other out hiking on another day. Is it healthy for my girls to sometimes be separated?A:
Absolutely! Separation creates a human-dog bond as opposed to a human-pack bond. And for that reason, it's actually beneficial to sometimes separate your dogs. I do it with my dogs all the time. It's not to show favoritism; it just establishes a one-on-one relationship—not that different from sometimes hanging out with a large group of your human friends and sometimes hanging out with just one.
