The exasperated caller complained that his dog was escaping his yard, digging
and fence running. The dog was becoming a neighborhood nuisance and driving him
crazy. I pressed a bit and asked about the environment the dog lived in. All I
got was the dog had a yard to play in. I asked about toys, attention,
opportunity to get out with other dogs, etc. The owner grew silent. He thought
all a dog needed was a yard to run in.
Dogs need stimulation
This dog was escaping the yard because he was bored. He had no
toys, little interaction and was developing undesired and even dangerous
behaviors. (What if a car came by the day he ran into the street or he attacked
someone's pet.) I explained in detail how the man could enrich his dog's life
and alleviate the boredom as well as stopping the developing "bad" behaviors.
Again, silence and then, "Well, the dog is too much work, maybe I should get rid
of him."
Recognize boredom in your dog
Obviously even simple steps to helping his dog were too much
for this owner. However, recognizing boredom and working to prevent it are part
of responsible dog owning. In zoos, creating a stimulating environment is called
"Enrichment." Moreover, at home, we must enrich.
Part of enriching our dogs' lives is proper socialization.
Living in the suburbs is great as we (and I am a suburban person) have the best
of both worlds. Yards and open space but the luxury of having shopping and other
amenities nearby! This should be a boon to our dogs! We can get them out and in
a variety of places so they learn about life and how to handle many situations.
I can go from wooded trails with wildlife to downtown Washington, D.C. within
twenty minutes! We also have yards and homes we can enrich to help our dogs not
be bored. However, living in the suburbs tends to make some dog owners lazy!
Should I walk my dog?
Often, I
get calls from people who will not walk
their dogs as the dogs lunge at bikes, other
dogs, etc. By denying the walks, the owner
is denying a great training and socializing
opportunity. The owner develops a cycle –
dog lunges, owner stops walks, and dog does
not learn to ignore bikes, owner tried again
in a few months hoping dog grew out if it,
dog lunges, owner stops walks… Getting the
dog out and building confidence in the
world, the dog becomes less likely to
respond adversely.
Dogs in the city
Dogs in the city, those that are well cared for, get several
walks a day. This means they are out and about various people, hear and see
traffic, learn to ignore bikes, walk over different surfaces and get to go to
dog parks! Though many think keeping dogs in the city is cruel, the opportunity
for the dog to be better socialized than a suburban or country dog is far
greater! From a socializing standpoint, city life can be wonderful! It is
amazing how many dogs I see in class who are bothered by simple things such as a
person in a hood or a flapping coat! Why? These dogs may never get to experience
them regularly. Some of the dogs that come through my classes have never even
been out of their yards. Yet in the suburbs, we have access to so many
opportunities and environments if we are just willing to take the time and get
Bad behavior due to boredom
Dogs who are bored tend to develop destructive and
annoying behaviors such as barking, chewing, and digging. The dogs are not
getting back at humans; they are just trying to entertain themselves. Dogs who
spend all day alone and isolated from the pack may develop barking problems as
well as become escape artists. The owner views the dog as hard to handle, trying
to "get back at me" and refuse to take him out even more as a for of punishment
for not behaving. This does nothing but exacerbate the situation. The dog is not
being given the opportunity to learn and he is being even more socially
deprived.The dog has no idea why he is being deprived or punished. All he knows is
frustration. Is this fair? When it comes to socializing, people in the suburbs
and country have to work harder and not allow themselves to fall into the rut of
abusing the yard!
Socialize your dog
One way to get dogs out and around other dogs in a social
environment is through training classes. Ideally, training in classes should
begin as soon as pup has completed his 12-week or ten-week shots depending on
the schedule your vet uses. (Some vets go 6, 9, 12 and others 6, 8, 10, but pup
should have three sets of shots before starting classes for his own health). A
good puppy-k program will emphasize socializing and give you ideas how to better
socialize pup. Even a good adult program will teach socializing and what should
be done. Another great way to socialize is through sports. Agility, Flyball and
such gets dogs active with other dogs and working around them. Another way to
socialize is going to dog parks. Many communities have them. And if not, have
friends with social dogs get together once a week for a play date at a house
with a fenced yard. Isolation from his own kind is misery for a dog.
to beat the dog boredom
Now, what about enriching our own homes for our dogs? Dogs
view the world as a chew toy until we teach them what they can and cannot chew.
A dog that is totally deprived of stimulus will find his own entertainment. That
antique chair may fall victim to boredom and lack of training. The dog is not
bad or trying to get even, he is just trying to fill a void. There are a variety
of things we can do to fill this void and let our dogs act out the natural
behaviors of chasing, chewing, tearing and digging.
Toys and entertainers
Toys and bones you can fill with a tasty treat are one way
to alleviate boredom and let a dog be a dog. Kong toys, hollow bones and
such can be stuffed with a bit of spread cheese, spread meats, cheese
cubes, hot dog chunks, semi-soft dog treats, canned dog food, etc. The dog
gets to work and chew to get the treat out. If you hide these toys, the
dog gets to enjoy the hunt and seek for a reward. Sturdy chew toys (hard-pressed
rawhide, ropes, etc.) also allow for chewing. However, chewing is not enough to
alleviate boredom. A toilet paper or paper towel tube with some kibble put in it
and the ends crumpled allow the dog to tear into a toy. A clean milk jug with
the top off and kibble dropped in lets the dog throw, tear, and tackle. Buster
Cubes and similar toys have various compartments inside that kibbles rolls about
in. Sometimes the kibble comes out. Feed your dog one of his daily meals or
even both in this fashion (works well if you have a single dog, for multiple dogs
I use stuffed bones).
Games are great
Games of hide and seek are wonderful! One person hides and
another gets the dog to go find. Once the hiding person is found, a toy is
tossed for the dog. Alternatively, hide a toy for the dog to find. Start simple
(behind a chair in the same room) and buildup the complexity (up the stairs and down the hall and under a box in your
room). Take a bunch of plastic or paper cups and lay them out mouth down. Put a
treat under just one cup and encourage the dog to find the treat.How about enriching our yards for our dogs? A strong rope tied to a tree with
heavy bungee cords lets the dog pull and tug. Big boxes make great tunnels and
many dogs will fit through the play tunnels sold at many human toy stores. Small
logs and lengths of PVC pipe (4" and 5" diameter) can be laid down for the dog
to walk and jump over while playing. (For safety, dogs under 12 – 18 months of
age should have all jumps very low). Make a digging area for your dog! Lay down
a 4'x4' box and fill it with a soft sand and dirt mix. Encourage your dog to dig
here and not in your garden. Use landscaping timbers to mark off the dog's
digging box. A toy buried or some kibble sprinkled over the area can help
redirect his digging from your Azaleas to his personal digging spot! Build a
couple platforms for your dog to jump on and crawl under (just keep away from
fences, as some dogs will learn to use these as means to escape).
Get out and play fetch with various toys to allow your dog to
engage in chasing behaviors. Take a box, hide treats in it and drag it
through the yard on a rope (you stay still, just drag the box). This
allows the dog to chase and tackle! These are all things that we can do to
help enrich our dogs' lives. In addition, if you have a higher- to high-energy
breed, these games are wonderful for burning off that energy! Get
creative. However, monitor toy use and if you suspect a toy is not suited
for your dog, do not use it. There is no toy ideal for all dogs and safety
with toys is essential!
Boredom in dogs leads to undesired behaviors. However,
enriching their environment, getting them socialized and understanding that we
make our dogs what they are goes a long way in making our lives together happy
and healthy.

hello,I have hair removal laser treatment on my body & during the session I can smell the burn of hairs & right after a session I have red bumps which dissapear after a few min.,the hair on the root leaving a black spot as it has been burnt and the treatment works. Yesterday I used a different salon for IPL on legs and althought I could feel the tingling disconfort during the session, there were none of the 3 symptoms as above that I have with the laser and I wondered if it was a bad sign?
Symptoms Directly After IPL Treatment Was Very Different at New Salon, Could This Mean it Wasn't as Effective?
Doctor Answers 5
IPL for hair removal
The new salon was being careful to see what settings are appropriate for you. This is a much better idea than burning you. Next time, they will probably increase the power. We do want to smell some burning and see the tiny red bumps to know you are having an effective treatment.
Signs that IPL hair removal is working
What we look for when either laser or IPL hair removal is performed is exactly what you describe:
- What is called "the smell of success." You want to smell some hairs burning.
- Slight redness in the area treated
- Perifollicular edema - small raised bumps surrounding hair follicles in the area treated
If you switched to a new machine, it's conservative and correct to use lower settings for the first treatment, as the first treatment is 1/2 therapeutic and 1/2 diagnostic. We want to know how your skin responds to the machine and to the treatment itself.
See how the hairs behave in about three weeks. By that time the treated hairs will have worked themselves out of the hair follicles. If nothing happens, mention that to your treating physician. The setting should increase with subsequent treatments as your skin can tolerate it.
It is hard to tell what was done at the Salon.
If the hair is still present and none of it was singed off during the treatment and there is no follicular edema or erythema (red or swelling) around the hair follicles, your treatment may not have been effective. Be certain that you are going to someone with a lot of experience and the best technology. Some little Ma and Pop medispas don't know what they are doing.

IPL for hair removal
It sounds like they used a laser the first time and an IPL the second time. While IPL does work for hair removal, there are practitioners who feel that laser treatment is more effective for hair removal than IPL. Newer IPLs with optimal settings and a high enough fluence (energy density) should work well for hair removal. There are many different IPLs out there and some are more effective than others. It is possible that the energy used was too low to give you a good treatment response.
IPL Treatment at New Salon
It sounds as if you had an IPL treatment as opposed to a true laser hair removal treatment. These are two different types of treatments each using a different laser. The first treatment you described does sound like true laser hair removal with all the correct treatment effects. The second does not.

With big-bang health-care reform in jeopardy as officials bicker over centralisation, red tape and distribution, a new report tells us the transparency of government financing and hospital quality is threatened by government reluctance to collect and share data that could transform healthcare.
Two rare acts by politicians in 2011 reversed my belief that when we discuss health reform, our IQ drops 20 points. Then federal health minister
In September, Roxon drove legislation to create the Independent Hospital Performance Authority (IHPA) to determine the efficient price of a stay in public hospitals.
On the other side of politics, the NSW Health Minister,
First, Prime Minister
Second, two weeks ago, NSW and Victoria, fed up with the stultifying pace of most COAG reform initiatives, formed an interstate reform partnership.
South Australia senses danger and Western Australia has lost trust in Canberra. COAG helped spawn the IHPA but it is unfit to implement its recommendations.
Third, blockages to tax reform threaten the financial capacity of all levels of government. Some of the Henry review's better ideas did not make it to national debate, and next month the interim report on the $50 billion GST carve-up will rekindle political dog-fighting.
Into this environment, the IHPA report released this week lobbed other bombs.
The services to be included in the "efficient" hospital price would not have any regard to world's best practice but would be based on "observed costs" (of today's inefficient hospital processes), with the price set at lower than average. The screams of states with above-average costs will tear COAG apart.
IHPA projections of the national efficient price will be reported confidentially to the federal government and the states. This lack of transparency will affect the investment of private hospitals and doctors and the premiums of health insurers which pay for private patients in public hospitals.
The states may not necessarily use the IHPA-determined efficient price of a hospital stay to allocate budgets to individual public hospitals. They will still use their own data on the efficiency of the hospital and other revenue that it might collect. Hospitals will then scream about state budget cuts.
IHPA has the power to determine the efficient price of a hospital stay but up to June 2013, the scope of its determination can be overridden by the Standing Council on Health. COAG must also endorse criteria for block funding to rural and small hospitals, so the independent IHPA decision is not final.
IHPA says we will not achieve transparency and efficiency gains from more care outside the walls until 2017-18.
Other nations are already going this way via bundled payments for whole episodes of treatment in and out of hospital.
Three more aspects of the IHPA report make Skinner's commitment to transparency even more urgent. First, the IHPA cost data, four years out of date, is known to be of low quality because it is volunteered by the states. IHPA should be given access to state data collections.
COAG will never fast-track such data collections. In the national interest, Parliament should enact legislative changes and budgets for new data collections by the states.
Second, IHPA proposes minimal action to reduce efficiency losses via "hospital acquired conditions" (surgical mistakes, adverse drug reactions and other complications) and has no view on how efficient prices should be used to reduce preventable hospital admissions. This is unacceptable and retards Roxon's efforts to lift transparency.
Third, this week a key government adviser, with rare candour, told us that Medicare was leaking $2 billion to $3 billion a year to seemingly rapacious medicos charging way above the fee schedule. The IHPA report did not reflect long on how the payments to doctors by states, private insurers and Medicare affected the efficiency of hospital care.
We need to bring the doctors into a new tent of Medicare payment reform that pays all doctors more for measured quality and patient safety, and for co-ordination of all care needed by the sickest.

Pittsburgh • The Pittsburgh Penguins expected desperation.
Instead, the listless Ottawa Senators offered little more than resignation.
Swarming the Senators from the opening faceoff, Pittsburgh roared to a 6-2 victory Friday night in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to take the best-of-seven series 4-1.
James Neal picked up his first postseason hat trick as the Penguins capped a five-game onslaught against one of the NHL's best defensive teams to stroll into the conference finals. Pittsburgh scored 22 goals in the series while ending Ottawa's season for the third time in five years.
"We gave them the respect they deserved and we came out and I think we surprised ourselves," Neal said. "We played with a lot of speed and got it behind them and got to the net."
And more importantly, into the net. Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin and Brenden Morrow also scored, and Tomas Vokoun made 29 saves to help give top-seeded Pittsburgh a few days of rest before facing Boston or the New York Rangers in the conference finals.
The Penguins will take the time off, but considering the way they're rolling at the moment they wouldn't mind if the next round started sooner rather than later.
"We got to our game a lot," Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby said. "The depth we showed, different guys chipping in. The whole way through we didn't have many lulls where we lost momentum at any point."
Certainly not against the overmatched Senators. Milan Michalek and Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa and Craig Anderson stopped 27 shots, but the Senators simply couldn't keep up.
"I hope (the Penguins) don't bill us for the clinic," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. "But they really showed the step you have to take to continue to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs."
The Penguins anticipated taking Ottawa's best shot as the Senators tried to extend their season for at least another 48 hours. It never happened. Not even close.
Outskated, outshot and outworked from the opening faceoff, the Senators put up little resistance as Pittsburgh moved on to the conference finals for the first time since 2009, when the franchise won its third Stanley Cup.
O Friday
Pittsburgh 6, Ottawa 2
Penguins win series 4-1
• N.Y. Rangers at Boston, 3:30 p.m., NBCSN
Bruins lead series 3-1
• Detroit at Chicago,6 p.m., Ch. 5
Red Wings lead series 3-1

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/5/2011 (2243 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dog licenses work. If you don't believe me, host a canine sleepover. It's something my family discovered first-hand when we took in a dog a few weeks ago. Holly, an 18 month old, energetic, large mixed-breed taught our family a lot.
I met Holly when she ran out into traffic while I was on a walk with my dog, Bella. My first instinct, of course, was to find out if someone was looking for her.
Unsuccessful at that, I wrapped one end of Bella's leash around her collar and latched the other onto Holly's pink collar. The walk home was difficult. It was like trying to stabilize a bundle of helium balloons tethered to lift a boulder off the ground.
Holly had tags but she wouldn't sit still long enough for me to check them. She was too excited to have a new playmate. My middle-aged dog liked Holly but was beginning to tire of the games, figuratively and literally.
After endless attempts, I discovered the telephone number of a local animal hospital. So, I left a message.
Unfortunately, I had to head off to perform a job many Winnipeg parents have, that of sport chauffeur. With half a soccer team in tow, I couldn't forgo the game. Instead, my 13 year old twins gleefully kept watch over their new canine bud. While gone, my twins bonded with the new dog.
I returned home too late to make other inquiries. This meant Holly had to sleep over.
Not knowing whether Holly would burn the midnight oil and chew her way through doors, I chose to dog-proof my room and have her sleep there. With my husband out of town, my girls suddenly became clingy. They typically use my husband's vacancy as an excuse to watch TV in my king-sized bed. But this time was different. They used me to hang out with the dogs.
When I went to my room, I found my daughters on each side of the mattress with two large dogs positioned at the bottom. They looked like they were part of an Egyptian monument. I needed a shoehorn to slip under the covers.
My cat was downstairs fretting, likely about whether I had brought home yet another canine mistake.
After a long, uncomfortable night, my neck felt out of joint. And Bella awoke with her nose out of joint -- she'd been shimmied off the bed. Holly had claimed the entire space for herself. Bella was not impressed.
My girls begged me to keep her, but I knew better. This dog was loved: someone wanted her to return home, aside from Bella, that is.
I called Animal Services to report Holly had been found. Within 15 minutes I got a call. Holly's owner sniffed when she said, "I was told that you have my dog." When I confirmed her hope, I could hear the sigh of relief every owner of a lost pet exhales seconds after discovering their animal is safe.
Holly's owner told me that she couldn't sleep all night. I didn't have the heart to share that I hadn't either.
I didn't interview Holly's owner, because I never meant to write about this story. My family and I didn't do anything unique. We understood that neighbours help out when they can.
Faced with another lost dog, and nights' sleep, I'd do it again. However, I would change a few things. I would have ensured that I got in touch with Animal Services or the Winnipeg Humane Society first. The owner recalled having seen the clinic number on their phone's call display, but thought it was about re-booking shots.
Winnipeg Humane Society works alongside WAS. When I phoned, I didn't have to attempt to describe the dog. No picture had to be sent. I merely repeated Holly's tag number.
I was reminded of Holly's sleepover when WAS announced that after August Winnipeg will fine owners without any warning if their dogs aren't licensed. It's a $250 fine. WAS hopes to increase their current rate of licensed dogs from approximately 40 per cent. More important, WAS would help a lost dog with a licence find its way home.
No matter how closely you watch your pet, it still might get away. Holly escaped when a landscaper neglected to latch the gate. Accidents happen.
Excuses abound for those who don't license. Some forget to do it; others see it as a tax. I view the licence like insurance. You pay the fee in the hopes that it will never be useful. But when you need it, the service is priceless.
No doubt Holly's owner would agree. Come to think of it, so would Bella.

This is what Clifton Davis says about the gay lifestyle:
"It seems as though gay lifestyle has become commonplace. I have nothing against someone who is gay. They have the freedom to live their life, but in the house of God — although He loves them in their sin — He wants them out of it. I love my gay friends, but I would rather see them walk in accordance with the Word of God…and I sure don't want to see women kissing [women] on the air. I'm offended by it." BV Buzz
Davis has been preaching across the country for the last 25 years and can be seen on TBN. What about two men kissing on the air?? One of my favorite shows to watch is "Brothers & Sisters" and they show men kissing quite a bit. Too much to explain to the kiddies……………
Remember him on the show "That's My Mama"? lol

BROOKINGS — South Dakota State University Soils Judging Team qualified for the 2013 National Soils Contest during the Region 5 Collegiate Soil Judging Contest held in Missouri.
Along with SDSU eight universities from Region 5 participated. Region 5 includes the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota.
Soil judging provides practical experience in evaluating the physical and chemical properties of soils important in making land use decisions. Soil forming factors (including site characteristics), soil classification, land use interpretations, and soil morphology are all key parts of the judging process.
The top four teams at this regional competition qualified for the 2013 National ASA Soil Judging Contest in Wisconsin. The top four teams were; first place - Iowa State University with 2464 out of 2818 points, second place - University of Nebraska with 2412 points; third place - Kansas State University with 2348 points; and fourth place - South Dakota State University with 2344 points.
There were 70 students participating in the contest for individual honors. Individually there were 650 points. Individuals that placed from the SDSU team were Tyann Slepikas of Huron, S.D. received seventh overall with 545 points, Bri Wegner of Fairbault, Minn., received 23 place with 520 points, Amanda Koch of Chelsea, MI received 26place with 518 points, and Emily Helms of Creighton, S.D., received 30 place with 507 points.
Other team members are Jesse Cameron of Northfield, Minn.; Andrew Koehlmoos of Granville, Iowa; Ryan Larson of Garretson, S.D.; Nathan Odegard of Madison, S.D.; Shaina Sabel of Andover, Minn. and Laura Schwengel of Eau Claire, Wis.
The SDSU Soil Judging team is coached by Doug Malo, Distinguished Professor of Plant Science in the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences.

Running m0n0wall from a cd-rom with a floppy for config is fine, and
works just as well as the others. There are a few things to keep in mind
Software updates require creating a new cd and swapping with the one on
the box, instead of just uploading an image in the other versions. That
means you have to physically touch the box for every upgrade.
Floppy drives are SLOW. No, they're SLOOOOOOOOOW. Every single update
results in a write to the floppy, and can become a frustration. This
also creates the impression that the web interface is slow when in fact
it isn't.
Floppy disks fail. Make sure you have backups of your config. Of
course, this makes sense for all versions.
Once a configuration is "nailed down" the floppy can be write protected,
and so is potentially more secure. Having the entire system running from
read-only media has a strong appeal for many people.
An old pentium 2 or 3 computer with a CF-IDE device with the generic-pc
image should work as well as a soekris with a CF card. Or you could use a
real hard drive in the machine, although that's a source of noise and
heat and potential failure down the road.
I do recommend avoiding the entire cyrix line of processors though,
as they have tendencies to behave in unexpected ways.
I hope this helps,

Princeton's Plasma Physics Laboratory to lead U.S. fusion research project
The U.S. Department of Energy chose Princeton's Plasma Physics Laboratory to lead the United States' participation in an international fusion energy project known as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).
"We wanted to do it because it gives us an intellectual role in planning this experiment and making sure it succeeds," said Robert Goldston GS '77, director of the plasma physics lab. "This is very important for the future of fusion energy."
In what Goldston described as an "amazing step" towards the development of nuclear fusion, ITER aims to construct the first device capable of producing self-sustaining burning plasma—the substance necessary for nuclear fusion to take place—for significant periods of time. [ more ]
They don't expect to have a working demonstration until 2050. I feel that Fussion is the future for our energy needs, but we are a long way away from that reality. This is why we need to look for options like hydrogen or other renewables that can hold us over until then.

We all recognize award-winning actor Joe Mantegna as 'David Rossi' on Criminal Minds, and we've heard him as the voice of 'Fat Tony' for the past 23 years on The Simpsons. He has taken home a Tony for his role on stage in Glengarry Glen Ross, an Emmy for co-writing Bleacher Bums on PBS, and earned a Golden Globe nomination for his incredible portrayal of Dean Martin in The Rat Pack. Additionally his career has allowed him to work with some of the most successful women in show biz.
Mantegna's charmed life also includes co-owning a local restaurant with his wife Arlene here in Burbank and his involvement in numerous charities including the Gary Sinise Foundation, Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, Easter Seals Chicago, and Actors for Autism.
He is currently working on a Ray Bradbury documentary and, because of his skeet shooting hobby growing up, he is also hosting/co-producing Gun Stories for the Outdoor Channel. Mantegna will be directing an upcoming episode of Criminal Minds in the near future and was recently named the Spokesperson for the Campaign to Build the National Museum of the United States Army.
What made you decide to become an actor and move to L.A.?
During high school in Chicago I had seen the movie West Side Story 10 times. When I tried out for the play I got up on that stage, did my audition, and I just knew in my heart this is what I wanted to do. I joined the Organic Theatre Company and my last year there I co-wrote a play called Bleacher Bums about the fans of the Chicago Cubs. During the summer of 1977 we were asked to tour the country with some of our plays including UCLA. My wife and I thought, "Wow, this place is like paradiso" because the weather was so great. Plus it reminded me so much of when I visit relatives in Southern Italy.
Why do you think Criminal Minds is so popular?
The writing and the chemistry; I think the characters are very well defined and the fact that we deal with the mentality of the criminals vs. just the evidence. And the show is hugely supported in places like Germany and France!
What was it like working with Cher in Suspect?
She's a real "person." When she wanted to go pick up her boyfriend at the airport she changed, then came back to the set to do my close up wearing black stretch pants, a yellow bumblebee shirt, her real hair — which was out to here — and she's got metal chains wrapped around her legs! She looked like a whole other human being! I love her to death.
Madonna in Speed-the-Plow and Body of Evidence?
Let's put it this way, if we hadn't gotten along as well as we did doing [the play]Speed-the-Plow there was no way I could have been in that movie. It was hard because it was that 500-pound-gorilla-in-the-room type of thing. I'm not blaming her for it; the icon becomes bigger than the person. She was always down to earth with me; we'd go out to lunch sometimes. She didn't buy into the whole entourage thing.
Michelle Pfeiffer in Up Close & Personal?
For someone whose business is being a big time Hollywood actress she's very low-key and quiet. I found that interesting and refreshing. Acting doesn't define who she is.
What's it like to be part of the Godfather legacy?
A good friend once told me, "You're in the Italian Star Wars!" (Laughs) To work with Coppola, Pacino, Diane Keaton … That was also the first time Andy Garcia and I met and he has since become a dear friend; we live blocks from each other and our kids went to school together.
Was playing Dean Martin in The Rat Pack intimidating?
It was like a dream come true and scary because whenever you play a real person there are these expectations. I did a lot of homework and really worked hard on it. I was happy with the result.
How about working with Stephen King in Thinner?
That movie was pretty cool because Stephen King did a cameo and also because we actually shot at the locations it was written for in all these areas in Maine. He is a brilliant writer and didn't pull any punches.
Other highlights for you in your career?
Certainly House of Games, one of the roles I did for David Mamet. Working for Woody Allen, the two roles I did for Barry Levinson in Bugsy and Liberty Heights. Playing Dean Martin and Searching for Bobby Fischer were special along with several little films that didn't receive a lot of play, but I loved the characters, like Elvis & Anabelle with Blake Lively and Mary Steenburgen.
In House of Games you were so naughty!
Yea, I was naughty alright! Rogers and Ebert wound up picking it as one of the 10 Best Films of the 1980s. It's one of those things where you think you know what's going on and then, all of the sudden, you really don't. There's a part at the end of the movie when I say to her [Lindsay Crouse], "What did you expect? I told you what I do for a living." It's like, "What do you want? You want me to carry your books? This is what I do. Sorry." (Smiles)
Why does Woody Allen like you so much?
I know he saw me on Broadway a few times and I think he liked what he saw. He's a guy of few words. He doesn't rehearse, doesn't talk to the actors; he basically says "action" and "cut." If he doesn't like you, you just get fired. I think as a filmmaker he's pretty obviously one of our great ones.
What was it like to receive your star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame? And next to your boyhood hero!
It gave me an opportunity to have writer/director David Mamet, who's had a big impact on my career, speak on my behalf. The other was General Willie Williams, the Director of the Marines. I am a big supporter of the military and I wanted them to be recognized. And I chose to be next to Errol Flynn, it was no coincidence; that was like a dream!
Switching gears, why do you choose to give your time to autism charities?
My oldest daughter has autism so I decided to use my position as an actor to put some focus on this.
And military causes?
My dear friend [the late]Charlie Durning got me involved with the Memorial Day Concert and it had such an impact on me. Gary Sinise and I now co-host it with a 300,000 person live audience while broadcasting on PBS. It's like Woodstock!
You are also the National Spokesperson for the Campaign to Build the National Museum of the United States Army.
General Creighton Abrams asked me if I would be and I said absolutely. We are trying to build the largest military museum in the world to honor the greatest army to ever exist on planet Earth.
And finally, you brought a bit of Chicago to L.A. with your restaurant!
Yes, sir. Taste Chicago is really my wife's dream. It's where you can genuinely get the kind of food we love in Chicago.
Taste Chicago is located at 603 N. Hollywood Way in Burbank. Call (818) 563-1800.

His "Sexiest Man Alive" crown might have been taken away this week, but Bradley Cooper isn't letting it bring him down. Instead, the actor posed for the cover of Esquire's December 2012 issue.
Cooper spoke about his upbringing and what type of parents he was raised by.
"I grew up in an interesting family. My father was Irish, and my mother was Italian. It's a rich tapestry. It's soaking in volatility. But I was raised well. I put them through some hell, of course. I got arrested [for underage drinking] when I was 15."
"My mom [Gloria] always said, 'Just call me. I wanna know where you are,'" the actor continues. "We always had good lines of communication, me and my parents." He continued, "My father was viciously smart and intellectually curious. We lived across the street from a movie theater. And he would always talk about all these movies, and when I was at the age of being able to appreciate them, he just started throwin' 'em my way."

Sometimes in life you are faced with some unrecognizable circumstances. It is then that you must step back and take a look at what you have accomplished, not what you have not.
Awhile back I had taken a photo challenge by A Mac. Some photos of the new dog that I had adopted named Trudee, she is adorable and we love her but... there were times when the family, including myself, had been stressed to the point of giving up with utter frustration.
In this stage in my life, I never would have imagined hitting a blank when it came to training an animal. Having had trained countless animals for years, I haven't encountered a Trudee before. But here I was faced with this wall, and I was stuck. Giving up is not a n option, I was in this for the duration, whether I liked or not.
You see she is so fascinated by the felines in our home, and the many wondering about our farm, she losses herself into a trance of horror. Unable to concentrate the basic commands, and or bodily functions needed in day to day living.
Being one on the positive side, and believing in oneself to withstand a rough sea, or treacherous storm, and understanding that it is never an easy feat, it is just another learning experience that we must take to make us stronger as individuals. So I choose to work with her, and so here I am with thoughts of Argh!
But if I choose to look down when faced with uncertainty, I shall undoubtedly run into a wall, but without a doubt I would always see a pothole. As you look down you are able to recognize the uneven surfaces, but are unable to look up to see the horizon for fear of the unknown. So, I took a break today and started from square one with her, back to the basics so to speak...1,2 and 3.
We loaded the car with canines and coolers, and headed to the lake to swim Trudee into tolerance over her fear and overreaction to felines. Proudly I write, we have both reached an agreement. I will take her swimming, if she doesn't eat my felines.
We will have to call this one a draw.

Despite the aircraft never engaged Soviet Union Navy, which was the motivation of developing the Buccaneer, the aircraft had been experiencing the Border War in South-West Africa and the 1991 Gulf War.
The Development of Blackburn Buccaneer
The Soviet Union Navy announced the Sverdlov class cruiser into service in the early 1950s. They were light cruisers, fast, proficiently armed, and numerous and definetely met the World War II standard. They were sure threats to the English merchant fleets' crossing over the Atlantic Ocean like the German's pocket battleships and they were even worse as they were 25% faster than the German's and Soviet Union has a lot of the cruisers. One way that the Royal Navy could take to prevent the threat was developing a new specialized strike aircraft employing conventional or nuclear weapons which could operate from the Royal Navy carriers.
A detailed specification was published in June 1952 as Naval Staff Requirement NA.39, requiring for a two-seat aircraft with folding wings, competent of flying at Mach 0. 85 at 200 ft (61 m) above sea-level, owning a combat range of over 400 nmi (740 km; 460 mi), and keeping a nuclear weapon internally. In accordance with the requirement, the Ministry of Supply issued specification M. 148T in August 1952, and the first answers were returned in February 1953.
Blackburn's design by Barry P. Laight, Project B-103, earned the tender in July 1955. Because of concealment, the aircraft was named BNA (Blackburn Naval Aircraft) or BANA (Blackburn Advanced Naval Aircraft) in documents, giving it a nickname of "Banana Jet". The first prototype made its maiden flight from RAE Bedford on 30 April 1958.
The first Buccaneer model, the Buccaneer S. 1, was motorized by a pair of de Havilland Gyron Junior turbojets generating 7, 100 lbf (32 kN) of thrust. This mark was relatively underpowered, and consequently could hardly take off well packed with both fuel and armament. A short-term alternative to this trouble was the buddy-refuelling system; aircraft took off with a full load of weaponry and minimal fuel and would fly with a Supermarine Scimitar that would supply the full load of fuel by aerial refuelling.
Having less power suggested however, that loss of an engine during take-off or landing at full load, when the aircraft was relying on flap blowing could be catastrophic, and the Gyron Junior provided a inadequate range because of high fuel consumption. The long term solution was the Buccaneer S. 2, suited with the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan, supplying 40% more thrust with significantly minimized fuel consumption. The engine nacelles were required to be increased to have capacity for the Spey, and the wing needed minor aerodynamic modifications subsequently. The Buccaneer S. 2 had fully substituted the S. 1 by November 1966.
The Design of Blackburn Buccaneer
The Buccaneer was a twin turbofans-powered, mid-wing monoplane with a crew of two sitting in tandem underneath a sliding canopy. To match the requirements of the specification, the Buccaneer presented several advanced design features. The fuselage was area ruled; indicating it was intended to cut down drag at transonic speeds. This offers increase to the characteristic curvy shape. It featured a variable incidence tailplane that might be clipped to fit the specific specifications of low-speed handling or high-speed flight. At the low-levels and high speeds old fashioned bomb bay doors could hardly be opened securely into the air stream, as a result doors were designed that turned into the fuselage to expose the payload. This configuration was also beneficial in serving ground-level access.
The Buccaneer had been developed exclusively as a maritime nuclear strike aircraft. Its desired weapon was a nuclear air-to-surface missile codenamed Green Cheese, but this weapon's development was cancelled, and replaced with the unguided 2, 000 pound (900 kg) Red Beardwhich had an explosive yield in the 10 to 20 kiloton range. It was placed on a special bomb bay door. For night operations, the Royal Navy also preferred to utilize the Gloworm rocket, with eight put on the Buccaneer's stores pylons. The Buccaneer also did not have gun armament.
The small wing of the Buccaneer was suitable for high-speed flight at low level. Unfortunately, the wing did not create the lift that was crucial for carrier operations. For that reason the wing and horizontal stabiliser were blown by bleeding compressor gas from the engine via surface vents. A result of the blown wing was that the engines should work at high power for low-speed flight to be able to produce adequate compressor gas for blowing. This feature was notably essential as the then British aircraft carriers were in small-scale.

Spartagen XT (Edge Bioactives)
Product: Spartagen XT
Author: Edge Bioactives Company
Spartagen XT Page: Click Here
Money Back Guarantee: Yes
Refund: 90 Days
Being a man means several things with one of them being the ability to carry out their responsibilities both at home and for the society. What defines a man's performance, emotional and physical attributes is the hormone testosterone. Testosterone is the male hormone responsible for the development of male secondary characteristics and behavior. Having average levels of this vital hormone will enable you fulfill your responsibilities but you will not achieve your full potential especially in and out of bed.
Research indicates that increasing free testosterone level has the potential of improving a man's sex drive, strength, energy and endurance. Many people have realized this fact and therefore many products have come up claiming to help boost the levels of free testosterone. However, one product seems to stand out among them all and it is the Spartagen XT from Edge Bioactives. In this Spartagen XT review, you are going to learn more about this supplement and what makes it great.
What is Spartagen XT ?
Spartagen XT is a natural supplement designed to help support men's body's natural ability to synthesize and secrete testosterone and therefore increasing the levels of healthy testosterone. This translates to better performance both in and out of bed. Its formulation consists of a combination of several active ingredients all derived from potent herbs selected from different parts of the world.
The supplement comes in the form of capsules to be taken orally by men experiencing low libido and low energy. While this supplement can be used by any sexually active men, the manufacturer recommends that those who have low libido but are aged 25 years and below should see their doctor before using the supplements. The obvious reason for this is that low sex drive in younger men could be a telltale sign of an underlying reproductive disorder that needs special attention.
Is Spartagen XT Effective ?
I strongly believe that those men looking for an honest Spartagen XT review are more concerned about the efficacy of the supplement. To solve this problem, it is important to look at the active ingredients making up the formulation of the supplement. Spartagen XT features four active ingredients that have been to be highly potent in activating testosterone synthesis and amplifying sex drive. The main active ingredients in this natural free testosterone booster include the following:
- Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) extract: This is a sexually stimulating herb from Malaysia. It is believed to have several effects including acting both locally and centrally to enhance sexual stimulation and improve sperm production.
- Tribulus Terrestris extract: This herb has been used in the formulation of many sex promoting supplements because of its ability to improve the production of a number of hormones in the body including testosterone.

I've been experiencing some issues with Aeon Nox. I normally keep my latest movies and TV Shows on a different directory and put all old, seldom watched files on an archive directory to keep Movies and TV Shows list short and easier to navigate. I just finished my dedicated HTPC build and decided to throw everything on it (the whole 3TB of video files...current and archive). At first I added the archived TV shows. After XBMC scanned the directory (which took a couple of minutes) I checked the TV Shows in the main menu and the listing is just blank. I tried restarting XBMC and my HTPC but still the same. There's nothing on the TV Shows (looking under files, everything is in there).
I then decided to remove all video source and start again. This time I added the current TV Shows first followed by the archived TV Shows. Everything worked fine. Main menu's TV Shows now displaying all TV Shows. I then added next the current movies and the archived movies. This time, the main menu movies is the one that's not displaying the list of the different movies in my media server.
Has anyone experienced this previously?
I'll try to uninstall XBMC tonight and start with a fresh install and see if there's any difference.

Get Pet Questions Answered by Pet Experts
My name is XXXXX XXXXX I have been a Vet Tech for 30+ years working with Pets and Pocket pets. hair loss that you are seeing could be from various. The rubbing in the tube is a very good possibility since he is on the chubby side. Another reason we may see this hair loss is a dietary problem. Depending on the diet you are feeding the diet may be too rich in grains causing Henry to be overweight and a secondary dietary alopecia (hair loss).This is a link on diet and what veggies and foods you can add to the diet: http://www.hamsterific.com/nutrition.cfm This can also be a sign of renal failure in older hamsters, but from your description he is not exhibiting any of the signs. We aslo see mites in hamsters that cause hair loss, but you would notice scratching due to the itchiness. I would add some fresh veggies to the diet and reduce any fancy foods, add 2 drops of cod liver oil to the daily diet, and make sure that the bedding is not irritating him. Wood beddings like cedar and pine can cause skin problems as well as toxicity affecting the breathing in Rodents. This is a link on Hair Loss in Hamsters: http://www.hamsterific.com/illnessguide.cfm#HairLoss
I would be happy to locate some hamster and Rodent Vets should you choose to have Henry seen by a Vet. Please let me know if you have further questions and I will be happy to continue with you. My goal is 100% Excellent Service. Joan
Thank you! That helps alot. Just one more question. I've always used the pine bedding for Henry, but I'll throw in some cotton balls that he likes to use as his bed. Is cotton, or shreds of paper towels, bad to use because of the bleach content?
Get rid of the Pine it can be deadly for small rodents. You can use newspaper because it is made with soy ink, paper towels, or a bedding called Carefresh or Yesterday's News. The pine needs to go asap: http://www.ratfanclub.org/litters.html I hope all goes well with Henry. Please do not forget to rate my service before leaving. I would like to me my goal of Excellent Service. Please ask for me if you need further help. joan

Bill Limiting Abortions Clears Senate
The Idaho Senate has voted 24-10 to pass legislation banning abortions once a fetus has reached 20 weeks. Republican Senator Chuck Winder's measure now goes to the House for debate. If it becomes law, Idaho could follow Nebraska in banning abortions after 20 weeks despite a state attorney general's opinion that found the bill is unconstitutional. The bill is also advancing amid doctor concerns that it could force women to deliver babies suffering from rare-but-deadly diseases that leave them little chance of survival outside the womb. Democratic Senator Diane Bilyeu, of Pocatello, argued the legislation "lets Big Brother decide what's best for our families." But Winder says his bill is about new science that shows a fetus 20 weeks after fertilization will suffer during an abortion.

Thanks again to Maxlrainer and Jägermeister for providing tons of refreshments, and also to all the people who came by showing so much love for Volcom.

Burger Records x Volcom present Cyber Singles Club, features music from the newest breed of Burger Records stars in the making, recorded exclusively at Volcom Studio, and will be released for free download & streaming every Monday for 20 weeks beginning April 17th. Week 15: Easy Love - "The Echo" Grab the free download Justine Brown was already known as the great drummer and vocalist in her sister Chelsea's band, Summer Twins, when she formed Easy Love. "I started Easy Love about two years ago when I started writing my own songs," says Justine. "Now I have a live band and I recorded an album and released it with Burger." Justine played all the instruments on Easy Love's self-titled debut album that was released in February. Justine's relationship with Burger Records goes back practically to the beginning. "We used to play with Sean and Lee's band, Thee Makeout Party," explains Justine. "It was before they had the record store, so a long time ago." The Burger Records store opened in October 2009. Burger co-founder Lee Rikard remembers, "Justine is one of my favorite people. We've known her since her teenage days in the Riverside girl garage band The Scandells! We've also been in love with the Summer Twins since their inception and have released their amazing catalog on LP, CD, 7" vinyl and cassette." Since the early days, Justine has found her place in the Burger universe and has travelled along on tours like the Burger Caravan, playing shows that featured eclectic lineups. "That's what I like about Burger, the variety of music… people from all over," she says. "We had to pay our dues and work our way up and it eventually lead to playing the Burgerama stage… which was, like, hundreds of people. It was kind of scary." Lee adds, "Justine is always creating, constantly evolving, growling ever so lovely." Easy Love is admittedly a little less rambunctious than some of their Burger label mates. "We definitely have a different kind of style," says Justine. "I feel like we're not as super punk and, like, crazy… as people and as musicians… a little bit more mellow, but we definitely can rock out!" Catch up on previous week's releases: Week 1: The Side Eyes "Cat Call" Week 2: The High Curbs "Empty Bottles" Week 3: VAJJ "Honey Pie" Week 4: Wyatt Blair "Pop Your Heart Out" Week 5: The Flytraps "Female of the Species" Week 6: Hammered Satin "Upward Spiral" Week 7: Death Valley Girls "Born Again and Again" Week 8: Vision "Light" Week 9: Meow Twins "Ratchet Witch" Week 10: White Night "Dirty Water" Week 11: Cowgirl Clue "Utopia" Week 12: Flying Hair "Tantrum" Week 13: Dabble "Free Time" Week 14: Distractor "Six Foot Moon"

Arthur Longo and Olivier Gittler were hosting the second edition of The Muzelle Festival last weekend in Les 2 Alpes. It started with an amazing morning session on Saturday with all the friends on the glacier and then followed with a Berlin "kind of" festival down in the station village during the afternoon. Oli and Arthur have worked their asses off to offer everyone such a fun park to ride as the conditions are pretty tricky! A fast and quick tranny snake with some pretty decent hips in the middle of the run, the perfect ingredients for a family shred. After two hours of snow surfing, it got too sharky so we went down to the resort to check the festival out. Anne (Arthur's GF) prepared with her Berlin Freunde and the 2 Alpes crew a lovely zone including a flea market, a pétanque tournament, a bar, an Indian food restaurant, a lamb roast and a lot more.. The music line up consisted on DJ Fred Marchadier, Leopard Ale, YGGL, Pat Burgener's Band and Dirty Deep. A couple beers after the party ended in the Avalanche club (as always)… Check out the full report of the event on Fluofun : http://www.fluofun.fr/news/20579-muzelle-festival-reportage-et-port.html Photos by @Annkristin_z Video by @muzellefestival Thanks to everyone involved !

What connects a ballet dancer and a skateboarder? A musician and snowboarder? Dive deeper with us as we journey into the 'True To This' mindset, exploring what it means to let go and let the irrational pursuit of your passion take over. Featuring the most diverse compilation of Volcom ambassadors ever assembled in a short film since the inception of the brand, these influential and legendary Volcom family members pull back the curtain and get real about that special place they all go to in their head and what it takes to get there. No matter if you're skater, surfer, snowboarder, maker, activist, techie, foodie, entrepreneur or inventing something entirely new, it's impossible to deny the vast parallels of life when they are led by the same internal force… passion.

We weren't quite sure what the reaction would be when we decided to ask the Internet, "What's your 'this'?", to say we were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. You, everyone who submitted an entry into the #ThisFirst contest, completely blew us away. We were flooded with over 10,000 photos, videos and statements of passion and what being able to put that passion first in life would mean. Entries spanned a variety of topics, the most common being art, photography and travel, while music, surfing and skateboarding followed closely behind. But it wasn't just artistic globetrotting types with a passion for boardsports that entered, people pursuing passions as varied as sustainable farm to table food sourcing, charity work, animal rescue, make-up artistry and even crochet, all shared their stories with us. To pick just 60 finalists from the thousands of entries who would go on to do a video call with Volcom, our panel of judges sequestered themselves in an office for a week to go through everyone's entries. The deeper they got, the less it felt like they were going through contest entries and the more like they were parsing the results of a massive survey which was beginning to reveal some trends; A lot of you like to take photos and want to travel, especially Australians. Aspirations to become a successful YouTuber were not uncommon. And entrants in Asia had a tendency more than any other region to focus on charitable giving. But if we thought making our selection of the 60 finalists was hard, narrowing that field of finalists down to 15 winners was even more difficult and we appreciate everyone's patience (yes, we saw your comments on Instagram) awaiting the announcement. Before introducing the winners below, we just wanted to take a final moment and express how truly humbled we were by all the finalists and what it is that is driving you to purse your 'this'. To you and everyone else who entered and gave us a peek into your lives, we cannot thank you enough! Now without further ado...

We're partnering with the crew at Mic.com to produce a series of videos featuring individuals' inspiring stories of becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable when they decided to make their passion their priority. In this inaugural episode, we explore the moment when Jesse Gross decided to quit his finance job in New York City and set out to work for the start up, Remote Year. Providing individuals the ability to travel the world in a group for 12 months as each works remotely, Remote Year offered Jesse the opportunity to work for a company who's mission aligned with his own, allowing him to get out and explore the world without ever being chained to a desk again. As we found in our #ThisFirst contest, one of the things people are most passionate about is travel and to really explore the world and its different cultures. Yet being able to make that a reality is often hindered by the ability to afford it. Such the conundrum exists where one needs a job to be able to afford to travel, but once one has a job and can afford to travel, one no longer has the time. Jesse and Remote Year offer both an inspiration and a service to help others take the leap to put their 'this' first.

Doubts on eve of Bashir verdict day
Page Tools
An Indonesian court will today hand down its verdict on the Muslim preacher accused of involvement in the Bali bombing, with some experts predicting he may be acquitted.
Prosecutors have asked the three judges to sentence Abu Bakar Bashir to eight years in prison for his role in the 2003 bombing of Jakarta's Marriott Hotel and the 2002 Bali bombings, but dropped the primary charges against him because of a lack of evidence.
Hundreds of Bashir's supporters are planning to travel from Central Java to attend today's hearing and the police presence will be heavy. There was a riot when Bashir was freed from prison and immediately re-arrested in April last year.
Police then charged Bashir with being the head of the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiah and said he had visited one of its camps in the Philippines in April 2000, when he watched a graduation ceremony for students trained to use military weapons.
One of Bashir's lawyers, Lutfi Hakim, said yesterday that his client should be freed given the lack of evidence directly linking him to either the Bali or Marriott bombings.
"This indictment is even worse than the previous one," Mr Hakim said.
Bashir has been widely accused by Western governments of heading Jemaah Islamiah, which has been blamed for the Bali, Marriott and Australian embassy bombings, but prosecutors have struggled to build a strong case against him.
The South-East Asia director of the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, Sidney Jones, said the prosecutors' task had been made harder by a Constitutional Court decision last year overturning retrospective legislation used to prosecute the Bali bombers.
"I would not be surprised if he was acquitted because it was a weak case to begin with and the prosecutors were operating under severe constraints of the Constitutional Court decision," Dr Jones said.
She said there would be an international outcry if Bashir was acquitted, but it would be unfair to blame the Indonesian Government and accuse it of failing in the fight against terrorism.

Bethenny Frankel caused a photo frenzy last week when she hit Miami Beach in a bikini. And it sent her into a panic.
"You don't understand, I've never had that experience before where I couldn't go to the beach," Bethenny Frankel told USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell while chatting about her new show on Bravo, Bethenny Ever After.
"I went out to the beach and these photographers were on top of my chair. The beach guys were bringing us umbrellas and shoving us in. I've never seen it like that. They were like rats. It was disgusting. They were begging, 'Please let us have a picture of the baby.' I was like, get away from me. I was so upset. I came back, I was like on house arrest in my building. I don't care if it was me five years ago, being single and hot in a bikini -- then I'd be like 'Hey, woohoo!" But with the baby it felt really gross."
