I'm posting this just some minutes after watching 'Crossfire'… Epic, I can't describe all the feelings that I had during the episode. Imagine a rollercoaster between devastated and frenetic, and still it would be short… Sorry, I'm just rambling here, but that's to be expected after watching possibly the best episode of the series.
I'm done rambling, sorry. Now, let's get back to this fic.
I want to deeply thank you all for the reviews and comments you were so kind to share with me after reading 'My happy ending'. I also want to thank Tench for the beautiful drawing she made, and to disgorgingfoetus for the video he uploaded in youtube. I'm speechless with all of you guys… It was your support what kept this AU running in my head and took me to write this sequel.
So I want to dedicate this story to all of you. I hope you'll like it as much as I did.
Oh, and be prepared for a guest star… or more.
Thanks to iratepirate for beta reading and her continuous support.
My wild 9.99 percent
Written by Taipan Kiryu
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
In the dream, he was crazy.
In a colorful world, a rollercoaster of noise and grey smoke coming out from exhausts. That's where it existed, small but present, an annoying particle trapped within his processor, reminding him of its existence.
Curiously, everything else around was blurry. But still, he could hear the music. Because that was the way speed was supposed to be: blurry and full of music. Heavy Metal… Knock Out would have found the term ironic, had he been conscious.
But he wasn't. His mind was a battlefield of fog, frames, two backs turned to him, wheels burning rubber, polished hoods, stickers on his rear bumper… Many, many images pummeled his processor at the same time, making focusing a very difficult task.
There were also the voices echoing through the tunnel of supremacy and perfection, struggling to escape. He had known those rounded walls practically since he had been assembled; sometimes he felt he had known them even before that. The roughness, the laughter, the monster made of many. And, amongst it all, the warmth, the belonging…
The longing too.
…tunt… merge and trans… into Men…
It always ended like that.
So he was insane, the same as his speedometer. 80, 120, 160, 200, 250… Miles – not mechano-miles, but miles. How did he know what miles were? Why did he recognize the asphalt of the streets, the yellow lines in the middle, the blue mantle above him, the foreign frames that turned into junk as soon as he touched them? There must have been worlds like that, only he had never seen them.
And then, the white planes. It always came to the white planes making sharp, symmetrical shadows on his hood. He didn't like symmetry; he wanted to keep seeing the sun through his windshield as the Heavy Metal kept playing. Was that the reason why he didn't like planes? He had to be the only Decepticon who hated anything with wings.
And then a hand covered his mouth, silencing his cry of freedom. And suddenly he wasn't crazy anymore. He was focused, and concentrated on winning the race, and self-centered, and pessimistic enough to appreciate the symmetry of the white planes, certain carriers of doom.
Symmetrical, but not beautiful.
Systems activating...
Knock Out interrupted his recharge cycle as he had done so many times in the past: with a start, air vents hyperventilating, gyros frenetic…
It hadn't always been like that. At the beginning, most of the time he spent offline had been relaxing, the perfect way to maintain his systems running at optimal efficiency. His beauty sleep, as Breakdown liked to call it.
But then the imperfections started. Dreams, as the base's data base named them. Dreams, a dysfunction proper of organic beings.
He wasn't organic, so it was impossible that his recharge delirium could be qualified as dreaming. It was a disturbing imitation, a small price to pay for not having been assembled in series, as many other Decepticon warriors who shared the same frame design, voice and even personality had been.
So his individuality wasn't perfect, but who cared? Every time he looked at himself in the mirror he was reminded of his superiority.
Only in his dreams his looks always had a disturbing second place, sometimes completely disappearing from his thoughts. It was always about the fight, the continuing struggle of that small part inside of him to reach the two figures in front, far ahead of him and reaching the goal line. There they were, the self-centeredness and vanity that made his personality component, perfectly balanced with each other. That was him, but the race was far from being over.
Knock Out sat, his hand forming a fist. He almost feared to look at himself in the polished metal of the recharge chamber. He knew, as hundreds of vorns of life had taught him, that it could be one of those days on which the face that looked back at him from the mirror wasn't his own. He hated it when that crazy thing surfaced and made him see the Universe through different optics.
He heard the door hissing open and he forced himself to remain indifferent.
"The facility has been secured, Sir. The first battalion is expecting our arrival."
Knock Out turned to the Vehicon standing at the entrance. How close had he been to becoming one of those anonymous soldiers, named by serial numbers and not by their individuality traits? But he wasn't one of them. Not a Vehicon, not an Eradicon, certainly not a Miner. He was unique, stalked by annoying impersonations of what organics called dreams, but unique. That was what mattered.
He stood up and nodded to the Vehicon. "Prepare to land," he told him.
The Vehicon bowed slightly in reverence, the same he would have done to any other high ranked officer, and left the room. The door was still closing when Knock Out's communicator came to life and the most familiar voice in the Universe resounded in his audio receptors.
"Knock Out. Are you there yet?"
Breakdown never wasted unnecessary words greeting him. He was always blunt, sudden, even brusque, but every single time he spoke to him Knock Out could notice the timbre of warmth in a voice that had been the last thing so many Autobots had heard, and some Decepticons too.
"Perfect timing, as always, meine freund," he said, getting up from the recharge chamber. "I've just arrived."
"Everything fine with the flight?"
Knock Out smirked as he examined the reflection of his face on his arm. "If by fine you mean boring, yes, it was quite fine. This side of the colony has been dead for years. Is it too much to ask for some good, old-fashioned enemy resistance? You should have left some Autobots alive for me, partner."
Years? Why had he said years instead of vorns, eons or any other Cybertronian time unit? He always woke up from those crazy dreams with words that were not his own, but fortunately Breakdown understood them. He always understood.
There was a silence on the other side. Breakdown was a mech of few words, but those silences always seemed to be full of meaning. Knock Out really wished that his partner would have been at this side in that moment.
"Anyway, watch your back down there. There could be some Autobots hidden amongst those Empties, maybe even some Decepticon deserters."
"Do I really have to remind you that I'm not a helpless protoform, Breakdown?" Knock Out said as he consulted the nearby computer terminal. "Besides, the squad of Vehicons I sent to precede us already took care of the situation. I'm currently receiving the report that all the Empties living in the facility were terminated."
"Have the buffer ready when I get back, that's what you should do instead of being so paranoid. I'm afraid of what this atmosphere will do to my finish."
And he cut the communication. Knock Out felt an instinctive familiarity towards Breakdown, but sometimes he wished his partner wasn't so over-protective.
Knock Out didn't rejoice in power. That was one of the two things that distinguished him from the rest of his kind. Decepticons were naturally ambitious, eager for power. Dominance was their fuel, much more than Energon. Then why did Knock Out find the task of walking ahead of a squad of Vehicons, inspecting a lot of terminated bodies, tedious?
It wasn't that he wasn't ambitious. He was. There was a part of him that enjoyed picturing himself in a position of authority, at the top of the podium with an eternal number one beneath his feet. But there was another strong part, the one that was indifferent towards power and practically toward everything else that didn't involve his physical appearance.
And there was also the third part, the small percentage, the one that reminded him of speed, and fun, and vivid colours, and music…
Insanity was its name.
He grimaced and shook his head. He had to make it stop. Usually his recharge delirium remained there, when his primary circuits were dormant and he was unable to do anything about it. But when his systems were totally functional – when he was awake, to use another organic word – he was the ruler of his own feelings. He was himself, not those pushing malfunctions in his processor that were trying to open their way through the dark tunnel.
He tried to focus on his current mission, feeling satisfaction when he managed to do it. He had been sent in command of two squads of Vehicons to secure whatever functional equipment that remained in a medical facility in one of the most forgotten Decepticon colonies.
Although to use the word 'forgotten' was quite a compliment.
The facility was nothing but a display of rotten walls, many of them remained standing only with the help of unexplainable forces. Most of the ceilings were gone, and the few that were still stubbornly attached to the walls showed an asymmetric display of holes and scorch marks.
The world facility was also completely inaccurate. The only thing that hinted that the building had once been used to practice medicine was a dozen repair berths, torn from their bases and piled one against the other in one of the laboratories. There, amongst oblivion and their own rust, a small group of neutralists had mounted a masquerade of survival, their lives nothing but a continuous search for Energon crumbles. Knock Out was certain they had practiced cannibalism in desperation to live another cycle. He had been compassionate by ordering the Vehicons to terminate them on sight.
He grimaced in disgust at the pathetic view. Two squads of Vehicons… why had he been sent with two squads of Vehicons to secure a place ruled by no more than ten jokes of Cybertronians which he could have beaten with one hand tied behind his back? Even two of the most average Vehicons could have taken care of the job without getting a scratch in their dull paintjobs.
He continued his way to the Control Room, not bothering in hiding his disgust. Dust, dirtiness, oxide… His hates and fears lay there, where filthiness and imperfection were kings. Knock Out hated the Autobots because he had been built as a Decepticon, but his hate for carelessness was his own choice.
Gray, gray, gray… all the dead robots were gray, with practically the same frames and the same faces. Or maybe it was that oblivion and death had made them equal. It was impossible to find a difference between any of those Empties, except for the amount of damage and rust on their frames. If they had ever been Decepticons or Autobots it was impossible to know. Neutralists, deserters… it didn't matter. All Empties were made of the same substance.
And then he saw colour. Red, a glimpse of red, hidden between the gray and something else that looked suspiciously like white paint.
A white and red mech, or what once had been a white and red mech to be more precise, lay dead. Knock Out felt the need to laugh.
And he would have, if one yellow optic hadn't been fixed on him. Cracked, opaque, a flickering light behind the glass, but the white and red robot was still alive and was staring at him.
No, it was more than that. The Empty was scrutinizing him with his penetrating, dying gaze.
But that was not what disturbed Knock Out. It was the familiarity he could sense in that stare. It was as if that mech knew him.
Knock Out frowned. He was sure he had never seen that robot. Neutralists were not usually amongst his very exclusive circle of relationships, and certainly not rusted, dying ones.
He should have turned around, he should have ordered the Vehicon captain to destroy that creature, he should have taken his Energon prod and nailed that Empty to the wall…
But he didn't.
He was certain he had never seen that robot.
But then why had he recognized him?
Something came out from the vocalizer of the Empty, obviously as damaged as the rest of his structure. It sounded guttural, the exposed hydraulics of his neck moving as the bizarre sound erupted. It took Knock Out a moment to realize that the Empty was laughing.
"Primus frag me…you made it…" the broken voice said. "You made it… the three of you…"
Knock Out frowned. He was flanked by two Vehicons, one more covering his back. What was that Empty talking about?
Normally, he would have ignored any insect who dared to talk to him, especially if said insect was a rotten neutralist. But he had recognized that junk piece. He had never seen him, he didn't know who he was, but he had recognized him. Was he becoming insane?
In the dream, he was crazy.
No, it wasn't the moment to go there again. Knock Out clenched his fists and strengthened himself, taking two aggressive steps towards the Empty.
The disgusting creature kept laughing. "You made it, you made it… Frag, you made it… And look at you now! Aren't you handsome or what?"
"How dare you speak to me, scraplet?" he hissed, not crushing the Empty only because he was disgusted by the idea of touching him.
The robot shook his head, making a piece of his shattered helm fall to the ground. "You made it, you made it… Breakdown… It was him, wasn't it? He saved you… How did he do it? Frag… If only I could have done the same for my teammates…"
There was a clear hint of sadness in his voice, but Knock Out didn't pay any attention to it, or to what he had said. Only the mention of his partner made Knock Out's eyes turn into a line. His arm reformatted and a sharp drill replaced his hand.
"How do you know Breakdown? Speak!" he said through gritted dental plates.
The Empty continued to look at him, not seeming impressed at all by the drill rotating just some inches from his face. It was as if he didn't even see it.
"Oh, I know Breakdown, I knew him once… and I knew you too."
Knock Out growled and leaned over the Empty, not caring about what kind of spectacle he was showing to the Vehicons behind him.
"You have confused me with somebody else," he hissed, the levels of anger inside of him reaching a boiling point.
The Empty shook his head emphatically. "Nope... How could I confuse you? I'm the one who put a plasma bolt through your energy core, remember? Through one of them, at least... But I'm glad you made it. I was never the killing type, you may remember…"
That should have been it, the ultimate confirmation that the Empty was insane. No Cybertronian would survive a direct attack to the energy core, not to mention that Knock Out had never been close to a situation like that.
But realizing that he was dealing with a lunatic didn't ease his anxiety. The effect was the opposite, and suddenly Knock Out found himself terrified. The pain, the ultimate shutdown circling around him whilst he laid in a pool of his own vital fluid, choking in agony and Energon both the same…
"Heh… I bet you thought you killed us… but you didn't. I survived, you see? As you did, I survived too." He heard the voice around him, within him, but it didn't sound like the voice of the Empty anymore. It was a voice he knew, a voice he had known once.
The world became blurry around him, the confusing mist only broken by the patches of reality he used to have in his dreams. He saw a battlefield; smoke, fuel, broken parts… a beautiful yellow finish damaged beyond recognition, a scratched Decepticon symbol over a red wine chassis, a dying spark pulsing for the last time inside a huge, gray frame… And he could hear his own roar, erupting for the last time, crying names that mattered more to him than his own, for once forgetting about fun, and music, and speed…
In the dream, he was crazy.
He was crazy, and he was not alone.
Knock Out roared, with his voice, the one that was full of many. The energy flew through his arm in a bizarre combination of pain and harmony. Stabbing an enemy with his drill was common, and satisfactory. But when he pierced that white shoulder, he only felt frustration… and an unbearable familiarity.
Knock Out sat in silence, his hand holding his chin as he stared at the reflection on the wall in front of him, oblivious to the movement of the ship and the dance of planets around him. Once again, his face didn't look like his own, but for the first time since he had been assembled, he could recognize it.
It had been fortunate that there was still one functional life support machine at the medical facility. But even if that hadn't been the case, Knock Out was a very good physician and he wouldn't have had any problems in keeping one simple life signal online.
He looked at his hands. Despite being a medic, very few times had he used them to save lives. Dissecting was his thing, his art, as Hook used to tell him, in remembrance of some teammate his deceased instructor had had once.
But Knock Out had saved one life today. The life of an Empty.
No, the life of an enemy.
Because that was what the white and red robot was, what it had been and what it would always be. That was the reason why that Autobot had to live, to keep being Knock Out's enemy, to give revenge a chance.
Or maybe because that small, unstable part of him was compassionate besides being insane.
The white and red robot hadn't said much after his initial rant, not even when Knock Out reattached a set of wings. It hadn't been Knock Out's best work due to the lack of proper materials, but the robot would be able to call himself a flier again, one of the kind that Knock Out hated.
However, the mech had said something else, one more thing that Knock Out had recognized.
"Motormaster," Knock Out said in low voice, tasting the name.
"Motormaster," he said again, for the second time in his life. As had been the case the first time, the word didn't sound foreign.
The search hadn't been very successful in the ship's data base. Motormaster. Class-A General terminated in the First Cybertronian War. There wasn't even an image in his profile.
But as was the case with the Empty, Motormaster was another ghost Knock Out had never seen but could recognize. Was that his insanity acting, now that it had left the blurry space of his dreams to make itself present, along with the vanity and the competitiveness?
It was a good thing that the three of them agreed on the need for speed, though.
Knock Out shook his head. Three? Why the scrap had he listened to that Empty? Why had he repaired him? Why had he answered to him every time he called him by different names, each reply made with different voices?
He took an almost fearful look at his communicator. If there had ever been a moment to comm Breakdown, it was that one.
But he didn't. For once, he wasn't looking forward to talking to his partner, at least not yet.
He knew one thing, though. Breakdown had many questions to answer, and Knock Out would make sure to be staring at his partner's eyes during that interrogation. Breakdown had a thing against being stared at, but Knock Out knew, for certain this time, that he would find the answer to all the silences and furtive glances behind his friend's paranoia.
"Motormaster," he said with a smirk. "Let's find out who you were."
The end…
… and the epilogue
Red fingers passed over the place where only protuberances had been for a zillion years.
He wasn't delirious. Once again, he found wings.
He had forgotten what it felt like to have wings, but he hadn't forgotten how to fly. His element welcomed him back, embraced him without any resentment.
He smiled, and allowed the flow of memories to keep running through him, reminding him of who he was and of whom he had belonged to.
Skydive would have been disgusted by those wings. He wouldn't have dared to call them as such. But that was all he had, and what he would have for a while.
At least they had good maneuverability. Wildrider had been very kind in taking care of that matter, and of painting them in a beautiful red too.
He laughed when he remembered Drag Strip and Dead End, grumbling from the shadows. They would have never showed any kind of compassion for an enemy, especially one created to fight them, but Wildrider had.
Primus blessed the crazy ones.
In a display of generosity, Wildrider had even drawn the Autobot insignia on his chest. Or in a display of mockery, because the insignia had a moustache.
He laughed. Slingshot would have considered a detail like that an infuriating offense, but he didn't. He had too much to remember to waste his time holding grudges towards the guy who had given him another chance, curiously the same guy he thought he had shot to the Pit.
Who knew? Maybe when he remembered everything else, he would look for those three slaggers and tell them everything – no, not three slaggers, just one: Knock Out. Dead End had insisted that his name was Knock Out now, even though Drag Strip had said something about him being unique, and Wildrider had just shrugged his shoulders, happy that he had reached his brothers in the race towards the dominance of that spark, still oblivious of his real personality.
"Well, Knock Out, we'll meet again, you can be sure about that," he said in a low voice, attracting the attention of the guard in front of him, who hadn't stopped staring at the moustache on his insignia since he had landed in the base with the only intention of rejoining the Autobot ranks.
"Designation?" the guard asked again.
Thank you, Wildrider… and frag you both, Dead End and Drag Strip.
The recently repaired robot smiled. "Fireflight," he said proudly, savouring his name for the first time in millions of years.
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane
The end? No, not a chance. There will be a third part of this AU. Expect it soon.
Kudos if you recognized the lyrics of 'Brain Damage' by Pink Floyd, a song dedicated to their former member Syd Barrett, a real life Wildrider.
And more kudos if you guessed which Hook's teammate Knock Out was talking about. Yep, Scrapper, silent psycho and beloved leader of the Constructicons. You guys must know already I love to make this kind of hints all the time ;o)
Thank you for reading. Please review if you liked.
As a last note, the title of this fic is "My wild 9.99 percent', not 999 percent, but the site doesn't allow me to change it. Sorry about that.

Reporting from San Salvador — An old killing has come back to haunt the government of President Mauricio Funes, scarcely a year after he took office as El Salvador's first leftist leader.
Roque Dalton, the nation's most famous poet, was killed 35 years ago by comrades in the leftist guerrilla movement that fought in the long civil war.
Now the slaying has emerged as a thorny problem for Funes just as his government prepared a calendar full of official ceremonies commemorating Dalton, who would have turned 75 this month. A former guerrilla whom Dalton's family accuses of the killing works as a senior official in the Funes administration, and the family is demanding his dismissal and prosecution.
"The most harmful thing for our family," said Jorge Dalton, one of the poet's sons, "is that the president of the first leftist government … augments our pain by keeping one of the assassins of Roque Dalton in his Cabinet."

Ottawa and surroundings - many thanks to MapArt

Ottawa River Valley
Ottawa is Canada's capital. Even during winter it is an attraction to everybody. You only have to get used to the cold. There is so much culture and the museums are world class.
I have been there a couple of times. Mostly on business and not always by car. Also most of the time not in summer.
One time I arrived with colleagues in a helicopter from the plant where I worked, other times in a small airplane which started in Hamilton. That was very convenient and I do not understand why this airport is not better used. Landing fees should be much lower as in Toronto and parking is also cheaper.
All the trips where pleasant, except one by car during the night. Please avoid that!
I wanted to update this web site for a long time. Unfortunately, I lost all my images when our computer was stolen during a break in. For that reason I am extremely happy, that "Ottawa Tourism" gave me the permission to use there beautiful images and to install links to some of there videos. From other places I did not receive such support.
Elizabeth, my wife plans always visits to Ottawa for family reasons. I hope that she can bring back some more impressions from this great city.
Since I came to Canada over 25 years ago - Ottawa kept growing and has today a population of about 877 300. A bridge over the Ottawa River connect it with Hull, which is already in the province of Quebec. Don't miss a visit. Quebec is beautiful and we enjoyed our trips through it and also brief stay in Quebec City very much. I always became homesick to Europe!
Parliament Hill - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
Once I stayed in a good hotel close to the Ottawa River. At this time - before my accident - I still could walk without any problems. So I walked over the bridge and found myself in a different world. I only could hear French and all advertising was also in French.
I am not ashamed to admit that I could hardly understand a single word. I knew that even people from France made the same experience. For that reason films made in Quebec have very often French subtitles.
In Newfoundland Elizabeth and I made a similar experience in remote places with English!
Changing the Guard at Parliament Hill - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
You must be very lucky to see this event.
The RCMP - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
Same as most visitors we were attracted by Parliament Hill.
One we came in winter. We were on a business trip. The weather was really bad and it was cold. For that reason I am thankful for the great pictures which I am allowed to use.
There was no change of the guard and also the RCMP was hiding at this time. I hope that we have more luck when we come back.
I hope that you will have luck too.
Ottawa can be attractive in winter when the sun is shining - especially when you like winter sport.
Elizabeth does normally not like cold weather. She is shivering all the time - even when she wears a few layers of clothing. Nevertheless, we had a good time with ice fishing on Lake Nipissing and during a snow mobile tour in Newfoundland.
If the aboriginal people are celebrating something please do not miss that - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
As the capital of Canada it is normal that Ottawa offers many things all year long.
Please check the official web sites or get actual information when you are there.
We cannot update our small Internet travel guide continuously.
If you are interested in events which are celebrated by our native people, browse through our site or use the database. We have started to bring some information about those.
Entertainment - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
In Ottawa ends the "Rideau Canal", which connects Kingston on Lake Ontario with this city.
I think the word "canal" is misleading - I would prefer the word waterway, because it is a combination of artificial canal pieces with locks, rivers and lakes. The length is about 202 km and the ships are following the terrain which means they have to be lifted up and lowered.
To make a complete boat trip will be certainly an unforgettable event. So far we were not able to explore even a little part of this historic waterway. Please use the internet to learn more about the "Rideau Canal".
The "Rideau Canal" in Ottawa
Whenever possible we will book such a tour. Elizabeth dreams for years of a cruise. My interest was dwindling after staying for many hours on ferries during our Newfoundland-Labrador trips. I hope she will accept this compromise if I can offer it hopefully some time.
But no business - no trips. If the tourist related businesses do not help us - we cannot help them!
The "Bytown Museum" with a lock - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
The "Bytown Museum" on the "Rideau Canal" - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
Another challenge for us is to rent a canoe or a kayak to explore that canal on our own. Elizabeth has participated successfully on dragon boar regattas to collect money to fight breast cancer. Just visit our web site about one of these events.
She also learned to handle a heavy plastic kayak which you hardly van flip over.
The "Rideau Canal" - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
As you can see the canal is really an attraction for sightseeing. The idea to rent bicycles to explore the canal and parts of Ottawa is certainly a good one.
Der "Rideau Canal" - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
Der "Rideau Canal" - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
Winter sport on the canal when the sun is shining - unfortunately not any longer for us.
The "Rideau Canal" during winter - many thanks to "Ottawa Tourism".
"Ottawa Tourism" and London in Ontario were really very helpful in supporting us in promoting Ontario. As a small business with very limited resources we will never be able to visit all the places during perfect weather conditions or to hire an airplane to take pictures or videos.
Both of the following two videos contain certain scenes twice. That did not bother me, because you may want to watch them anyhow several times!

Hanging With Celebs, Even Furry Ones
By Brian Chandler, president
Most of the time, our job in public relations doesn't involve hanging out with celebrities. However, on a rare occasion, the stars align for some fun.
For more insight, here's a summary of a recent PR/social media project that allowed us to hang with the stars from the DIY Network's show Salvage Dawgs.
Barking Up The Right Tree For Branding
For two years now, our team at Commonwealth PR has assisted client nTelos Wireless with its philanthropic program called nTelos Cares. The program partners social media influencers with local charities and for each Facebook share, comment, and like, as well as Twitter tweet, retweet or favorite including the hashtag #nTelosCares, our client donates $1 to the charity selected for the program.
In late summer, we helped nTelos Wireless partner with Black Dog Salvage and its charity of choice the Roanoke Valley SPCA. The result was more than 7,392 items of social media activity over a two-week period and multiple hits from local Roanoke, VA media outlets promoting the program. (Black Dog Salvage has more than 44,000 likes on Facebook.)
This trifecta including our client, a charity and a powerhouse social media influencer like Black Dog Salvage, who star in the Salvage Dawgs TV show, is a winning strategy for branding. It's a case study for how to use social media beyond daily sharing of content and take it to a level that supports others in need, essentially resulting in a higher brand awareness and better brand perception for everyone involved.
In this case, we not only promoted the Roanoke Valley SPCA, but helped bring awareness to "Black Dog/Cat Syndrome," which brought awareness to why most black dogs and cats are never adopted from shelters.
I have to say that it was awesome to chat with Robert Kulp and Mike Whiteside, the stars of Salvage Dawgs, but my personal highlight was hanging with their own black dog Sally!
Please take a moment to read the recap from nTelos Wireless on this amazing program. Click here.

You will no doubt have heard of Moët & Chandon – one of the world's best-loved champagne houses. But you might not have come across its Argentine cousin, Chandon. Chandon was established in 1959 when Moët & Chandon despatched its Oenologist Director, Renaud Poirier to explore new terroirs for New World sparkling wine production. After carrying out several trials, he was convinced that Argentina, specifically the high altitude cool climate district of Agrelo in Mendoza, was the ideal place to locate Moët & Chandon's first winery outside of France. And so Chandon was born.

JOHN NAPOLITANO JOHNSON & CONWAY, LLP JUNE 29, 2009 Association of Environmental Authorities
Construction Law Update Jen-Electric vs. County of Essex, 197 NJ 627 (2009) More Bid Protests on the Way
Alternate Titles Did the Supreme Court Open Pandora's Box? Jen-Electric – Is it Limited to its Facts? Good, Now I Can Pay for My Kid's College
The Issue Does the provisions of NJSA 40A:11-13 limit the standing of those who can challenge a bid specification in a public contract to a prospective bidder only? NJSA 40A:11-13(e) states in pertinent part, "Any prospective bidder who wishes to challenge a bid specification shall file such challenge in writing with the contracting agent no less than three business days prior to the opening of the bids. Challenges filed after that time shall be considered void and having no impact on the contracting unit or the award of the contract."
General Facts/History The County of Essex was seeking bids for infrastructure improvements along Central Avenue in Newark. The specification included a named manufacturer who was represented by a single distributor. Despite several attempts to revise the specification to appease Jen- Electric, including "or equal" language or "prequalify alternates" and two rounds of bidding, Jen-Electric still maintained the specifications were illegal and accused the County of bid rigging in the papers to the Court. Prior to the receipt of the second round of bids, Jen-Electric file suit alleging the specifications were improper.
Original Court Decision The Trial Court dismissed the Jen-Electric's complaint finding that Jen-Electric was not a prospective bidder therefore pursuant to NJSA 40A:11-13(e), Jen-Electric lacked "standing to challenge the specification. The Appellate Division upheld the Trial Court's findings.
What is "Standing" " Standing requires that a litigant have a sufficient stake and real adverseness with respect to the subject matter of the litigation," In re New Jersey Board of Utilities, 299 NJ Super 554. In bid protest cases the Courts have held the challenger must be a taxpayer or a bidder to the project. In order to challenge a successful bidder, the bidder must be in opposition to legally receive the bid. (See Interstate Waste Removal Co., Inc. vs. the Board of Commissioners of the City of Bordentown, 140 NJ Super 65.) Standing requires a significant interest in the outcome.
Question on Appeal The question to the Supreme Court was, did Jen-Electric, Inc., not being a bidder or potential bidder on the project, have standing to challenge the bid specification, or does NJSA 40A:11-13(e) limit standing to potential bidders only? The Supreme Court held that 40A:11-13(e) did not limit who could challenge a bid specification, but acts as a statute of limitations requiring timely challenges to a specification. Jen-Electric, based upon the traditional rules of standing, had sufficient interest to challenge the bid specification. The Court did not rule on the sufficiency of the specifications.
What Does This Really Mean? Did the Court open the flood gates so every unhappy supplier whose product was not specified can now file a lawsuit to challenge a project specification? The Court tried to limit this fear by saying, "We underscore the very limited nature of our ruling. Plaintiff here was an active, indeed proactive, participant in the bidding process and the majority of its concerns addressed core principals of public contracting." However, the dissent by Justice Hoens points out "as a practical matter, there is nothing in the majority's analysis that limits the right of any potential supplier, however large or small, to commence a challenge to bid specification.
What Can Be Done to Protect Yourself? The use of performance type specifications instead of listing specific manufacturer's piece of equipment (This may not be practical.) Use of multiple approved vendors – Jen-Electric case only listed one Requiring prequalification of substituted material is barred by NJAC 5:34-9.2(d) "Under no circumstances shall specifications require any form of pre-approved or pre-qualification of an equivalent product before submission of bids"
Pending Legislation Assembly, No. 3698, Senate, 2782 Assembly, No. 3424 Assembly, No. 436 Senate, No. 770 Assembly, No. 2561 Senate, No. 2957
Synopsis AEA's Position A EA has objected to this bill since it requires the owner to award based upon a pre-determined ranking of the alternatives which is set forth in the bid specifications. It restricts the ability of Authorities to maximize the use of alternatives in repair of infrastructure or mechanical situations. The AEA has worked with the sponsor in an attempt to modify the bill to protect the AEA members and still address the sponsor's concerns. Assembly, No. 3698, Senate, No. 2782 P rovides for base and alternative bids for certain public contracts; requires contracting unit to specify basis for determining lowest responsible bid and criteria for selection of alternate bids.
Synopsis AEA's Position T he AEA seeks to modify the bill to allow the contracting entity to determine if it will accept a letter of credit. Assembly, No. 3424 A uthorizes, at the discretion of the bidder, irrevocable letter of credit as performance guarantee under the "Local Public Contracts Law."
Synopsis AEA's Position A EA opposes this bill since it does not protect against the opportunity of price manipulation between suppliers and contractors. In addition, the bill increases paperwork and responsibility of the owner with no benefit to the public. While AEA recognizes increases in commodity pricing is a concern, it believes this bill should be limited to specific public projects, those where asphalt concrete work exceeds 40% of the contract work. Assembly, No. 436 P ermits price adjustments in local public contracts for asphalt cement and fuel.
Synopsis AEA's Position A EA has opposed this bill since it requires all contracting entities to use a QPA for purchasing. In most Authorities purchasing is a collaborative effort between the Authority staff and its professionals and the requirement of a QPA will not necessarily add any benefit, only additional expense. This is on the Governor's desk. Senate, No. 770 R edefines role and qualifications of purchasing agent in "Local Public Contracts Law." T his bill is on the Governor's desk.
Synopsis Conclusion T his bill was passed by the Assembly and the Senate but was vetoed by the Governor because of the efforts of groups like the AEA who put forth well-reasoned objections to the bill. Assembly, No. 2561 – A Success Story R equires certain public contract bid advertisements to contain certified cost estimates or estimate ranges of projected contract costs and specifies grounds for rejection of all bids.
Synopsis AEA's Position T his has just been introduced and no position has been taken. Senate, No. 2961 P rohibits imposition of sewerage service connection fee upon municipalities and boards of education.

The Deal
- $79 for a microdermabrasion and ultrasonic treatment with a pampering facial ($169 value)
During the microdermabrasion treatment, the licensed professional uses a specialized wand to deeply exfoliate the skin and improve its tone, texture, and clarity. A vacuum draws away the exfoliated cells, giving the complexion a fresher appearance and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. It may also decrease pore size and reduce superficial hyper-pigmentation. The ultrasonic treatment then uses a unique combination of electrical energies to stimulate the production of new collagen and drive topical treatments into the skin.
The pampering facial includes a mask selected especially for the client's unique skin, as well as a head, shoulder, and neck massage.
Urban Esthetics
Urban Esthetics' location is a fitting one. The skin-centric spa is nestled within a historic building that's been meticulously maintained. Just as developers have preserved the mature building's grandeur, Urban Esthetics' aestheticians preserve the skin's natural beauty. To that end, the team customizes facials and microdermabrasions to meet the clients' unique needs, restoring the face's youthful glow while paring down wrinkles and other signs of aging or impersonating Shar Peis a little too well. Staffers don't just focus on faces, though—they also provide body wraps, scrubs, hot stone treatments, and lash and brow tinting.

L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
Novak Djokovic gets red-carpet treatment at UCLA's L.A. Tennis Challenge exhibition
By Jack Wang, Staff Writer
World No. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic reacts after a fan in the front row is almost hit by a ball during his match with Mardy Fish during the L.A. Tennis Challenge on Monday at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.
The crowd waited patiently for over two hours before its hero arrived Monday night, a small if dedicated throng crowding renovated Pauley Pavilion's first-ever red carpet event.
A family of six had created two cardboard signs mounted on sticks, each bearing enlarged, colorized versions of Novak Djokovic's face.
Some fans wore T-shirts bearing his nickname, "Nole." Others kept themselves warm with scarves that resembled Serbian flags.
The world's top-ranked player was finally playing in Los Angeles and, exhibition or not, was cause enough for some evening buzz.
The results of the first L.A. Tennis Challenge may not have mattered, but former UCLA and ATP player Justin Gimelstob was determined to make sure it signaled the importance of maintaining the sport's place in the city.
Last year, Los Angeles' ATP event license was sold to Colombian investors who took it to their home country.
Playing against Mardy Fish, once ranked as high as No. 7 in the world, Gimelstob decided this wouldn't be the end. He enlisted Fish's help in recruiting top talent and called in some favors.
The result? An event that had Djokovic featured in both singles and doubles matches on a makeshift blue hardcourt. He defeated Fish 8-7(2) in the marquee matchup of the night, and then partnered with American tennis legend Pete Sampras as a follow-up.
"We're going to really show that tennis is alive and well here," Gimelstob said. "That it's fun, entertaining. We're going to show great tennis (inside) $137-million renovated Pauley Pavilion. It's state-of-the art here tonight, and we're going to show that tennis in L.A. is alive and well."
Djokovic and Sampras lost to Bob and Mike Bryan 10-7, a match that was delayed after the lights went out at Pauley Pavilion, with its lower sections filled respectably for the first-time event. CW-25
It was the second hiccup of the night. During the opening event, former world No. 2 Tommy Haas broke the net on a serve - delaying his singles match against former No. 4 James Blake by over 20 minutes.
Fortunately, Gimelstob joked, the event wasn't live.
It will be broadcast at 4 p.m. today on the Tennis Channel.
Some celebrities walked by on the red carpet to help promote the event: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder, actress Ali Larter and actor Timothy Olyphant were among the more recognizable faces.
They barely generated a peep.
It was only when Djokovic appeared outside the arena that the crowd erupted. "He's the Michael Jordan of the 2000 s!" a man cried out. :lol:
Fans, who had been told to stand behind a blue tape, swarmed in as closely as they could against the red rope. Djokovic obliged the many autograph requests, even picking up a young boy as he did a television interview. "It'll be a lot of fun, and hopefully, I'll perform well for the people," Djokovic said.
After soaking in the love, he headed inside to prepare for some tennis.

Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
A lot of words to say almost nothing.
Hopefully there's a video of the event.
Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
Sounds like it was an interesting event :lol:
Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
hopefully there will be some good videos on you tube. darn, I want to see the Nole/Pete vs. Bryans bros.
Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
It was amazing. So many celebrities. I even got to sneak passed security and got on the court after the game but I couldn't approach Djokovic because Bruce Willis was taking photos with him :(
My mom though, snuck into VIP and hugged Djokovic and gave him a letter with my phone number on it, I'm waiting for his phone call :D
She's done this before I have no idea how she does it; she should have been a spy. The security thought she was one of the moms of the folklore kids that Djokovic was backstage with, amazing haha
Anyhow, I'm off to school will give full rapport later tonight :)
Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
Mine would never do something like that. :lol:
By the way, was Nole getting as much love and attention from the fans as the articles say? how was his reception there?
Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
As for the attention when Djokovic came out, it was amazing. The crowd was going crazy. You have to know that half of the people in the stadium were Serbian. Everywhere I went, people were speaking Serbian and carrying flags, wearing custom made shirts, little girls wore Serbian tootoo's. It was an amazing experience. Justin is a great organizer cause he knew the Serbian community in LA is huge and he knew he'd have a great even if he could bring Nole. Nole is a legend for doing it. The only thing that was annoying was Rainn Wilson from the show "The Office" was guest referee during the doubles match and from the start he was really annoying the Bryan Brothers because he kept picking on them like calling them robots, making farting noises every time one of the bryan brother's would serve and he even called one of them weird which was extremely rude. He also insulted Sampras on a few occassions and called him a 64 year old man in which case Sampras proceeded to serve two aces in a row, I believe. However, he knew better than to insult Djokovic because Djokovic was hilarious the whole night and one time one of the Bryan brothers tried to one up Djokovic and Djokovic did something even funnier so Rainn knew better haha
Even someone from the arena shouted: "just let them play, man" and Rainn responded "yeah, whatever dude" Justin knew it was a big mistake to let him up there
One of the Bryan brothers (I always mix them up) grabbed the Mic and tried to get Rainn to step down so he called Bruce Willis to come to the chair, but Bruce wasn't having it as even he felt awkward with Rainn up there. Everyone gave Bruce a standing ovations and were chanting his name. Bruce later said that Djokovic is an amazing young man who has a world of opportunity ahead of him and will continue to see success. He even took pictures and chatted with him after the match.
Overall, it was a great tournament. The net came down once after Haas smashed the ball into it, so during the delay they brought down kids from the crowd to hit some shots while they set up a new net. The only major downfall was that they had to shorten up the matches because of that and then at the end of the match the lights went out when Djokovic and Sampras were winning, so the Bryan brothers took advantage of that and that's the only reason they won. Other than that, Djoko and mainly Sampras was just killing it on the court just absolutely demolishing and smashing every ball he got. He truly is a living legend. Djokovic said he wants to make it a seasonal thing and that he's willing to come back next year. However, I think he was annoyed at the end after Rainn Wilson and the lights going out (where he could have gotten injured during the super tie breaker but he still decided to play). I hope he comes back next year, I'm getting the V.I.P tickets then I don't even care about the money :)
Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
Also, there was a vast amount of celebrities there. People from Dr. Phil, to Rain Wilson, to Bruce Willis, to that girl from the show "Big Bang Theory" and so on. It was really a great event bar a few mishaps but it happens.
Re: L.A.: Djokovic and Sampras lose against the Bryans
Thanks, great to know. :)

- Elf and Giant players are also called Milletians, as the term refers to where they come from rather than an actual race.
- The word "Milletian" means "from the stars." Milletians are very different from people born on Erinn. For example, Milletians cannot die as they have the ability to rebirth (although, some people native to Erinn appear to have been reborn as well).
- The Tuatha de Danann are not the only clan consisting of Humans to be born on Erinn, however, they have had a major role in the history of the Uladh continent, as have their ancestors the Partholons.
- Many of the Human NPCs a player interacts with appear to be of the Tuatha de Danann clan or carry some of that clan's bloodline. See Tarlach's Record for more information.
- People born on Erinn seem to possess more wisdom than Milletians, since they have lived longer on Erinn and have a greater respect for danger as death appears to be more permanent.
- Human players can choose to start in either Tir Chonaill on the Uladh continent, or in Qilla Base Camp on the Iria continent. There is no advantage/disadvantage of choosing one over the other, although the set of beginner quests varies greatly.
All HumansEdit
- Humans are balanced and can excel at Melee, Archery, Magic, and Alchemy.
- Humans run at a "normal" speed which is slower than both Elves and Giants. Many monsters can outrun a Human.
- Humans possess a few unique skills, such as Final Hit and Arrow Revolver.
- Final Hit allows a continuous attack for a short period of time.
- Arrow Revolver allows the player to prepare five Arrows simultaneously instead of a single shot.
- Humans possess two transformation skills: Paladin and Dark Knight. The Paladin draws upon the Spirit of Order, attained from completing the Generation 2 storyline. The Dark Knight draws upon the Soul of Chaos, which is obtained by completing the Dark Knight Quest Chain and is available after completion of the Generation 3 storyline. However, Humans must choose one transformation over the other; they cannot possess both at once.
- Humans may wear clothing, light armor, and heavy armor, but nothing unique to Elves or Giants.
- Only Humans can maintain their Resting skill at Novice rank (Elves and Giants must level Resting in their respective beginner quests), taking full advantage of the Dire Wolf enchant.
- Humans use different amounts of AP for certain skills compared to an Elf or Giant.
- Humans may Dual Wield One-Handed Swords, with the exception of the Machete.
Allied HumansEdit
- Human players, upon implementation of Elves and Giants, can ally themselves with either race. As a result, they become enemies with the race they are not allied with.
- Simply entering the 'enemy' race's home town will cause the town's NPC guards to attack the player. These guards are invincible and incredibly strong.
- Human players can end an alliance at any time but cannot create a new alliance until the next real-time day, whether an alliance is desired with the same or another race. Castanea and Krug state that ending an alliance is a serious matter, however, except for having to wait till the next real-time day to forge a new alliance, there are no other penalties for doing so. They will readily accept a Human player's allegiance again, no matter how many times a player has ended an alliance before.
- Note: An alliance created by one Human character on a player's account will be applied to all the Human characters on that player's account, when they log on. Remember this when changing between Human characters on the same account. For example, if a Human character had allied with the Elves and not ended it before logging out, then when another Human character from the same account is logged on, they will be allied with the Elves and had better not be standing in the middle of Vales.
- Similarly, ending an alliance for one Human character on a player's account will in fact end that alliance for all Human characters on that player's account and none will be able to make a new alliance until the next in-game day.
- A Giant-allied Human can request a ride on a Giant's shoulder when both are in the same party.
NPC Shops of an Allied RaceEdit
- Human players, depending on which race they choose to forge an alliance with, will be able to buy items at a discount from NPCs in the home town of their allied race: Vales for Giant-allied Humans and Filia for Elf-allied Humans.
- An exception is Yoff in Filia, who offers no discount for Elf-allied Humans.
- The discounts are only given to allied Humans and only in their respective allied race's town. That is, Elves do not get a discount in their home town of Filia and Giants do not get a discount in their home town of Vales.
- In Taillteann, the Elf Supply Guard and Giant Supply Guard do not give a discount to members of their own race or Humans allied to that race.
- NPCs in Filia (with the exception of Yoff) will not sell to Giant-allied Humans or Giants, and NPCs in Vales will not sell to Elf-allied Humans or Elves but all these NPCs will sell to non-allied Humans (without offering an allied-human discount).
- The discounts can vary depending on which NPC an allied Human goes to, from 5% to 20% for Elf-allied Humans in Filia and 8% to 12% for Giant-allied Humans in Vales.
- If the allied Human discount percentage initially does not produce a whole number value for an item's price then that initial value is rounded down to the nearest whole number to give the actual discounted price offered in an NPC's shop.
- For example, Meles normally sells a Gathering Axe for 230g but she will give an 8% discount to an Elf-allied Human. However, an 8% discount would give a calculated price of 211.6g which is then rounded down to the nearest whole number to give her actual discounted price of 211g.
Allied NPC Shop Prices on Alban HeruinEdit
- Note that on Alban Heruin (Wednesdays), the daily effect of a 5% reduction to NPCs' shop prices will also apply, so an allied Human can get an even greater discount on Wednesdays.
- On Wednesdays the two discount percentages (from an allied Human and the Alban Heruin daily effect) are applied consecutively, rather than being added together and applied as a single discount percentage. When the first discount percentage is applied, if the value obtained is not a whole number, then it is rounded down to the nearest whole number. The second discount percentage is then applied to that first whole number result and again, if the value obtained is not a whole number, then it is rounded down to the nearest whole number. This gives an actual total discounted percentage that varies greatly for very low priced items but gets closer to a fixed value percentage the higher the price is for an item. With the possible exception of some very low priced items, the actual total discounted percentage is less than the sum of the two applied discount percentages.
- Using Meles as an example, on Wednesdays her shop prices will be discounted by 5% due to the Alban Heruin daily effect and an Elf-allied Human will also receive an 8% discount. The sum of these two applied discounts is 13% but the actual total discount percentage varies greatly for her very low priced items, from between 12.7% to 18.75%. However, that variation decreases as the price of the items she sells increases and the actual total discount percentage will be closer to 12.7% the higher the price is for an item.
|Age 10
Humans may choose a variety of hair, skin and eye colors, making them versatile in appearance, as are Elves. This differs starkly from Giants, who only have a select panel of limited choices. Although, there are still Elf-only and Human-only features.

Seems quite Interesting...ReplyDelete
Was a interesting read Sir...ReplyDelete
Seems like quite the novel, but then, it's John Grisham. One would expect no less.ReplyDelete
Finished it last week. Fast read and nice ending. Though I found a plot vaguely similar to one of the Enid Blyton's Secret Seven book. Don't remember which.ReplyDeleteReplies
There's one literary critic (I forget the name) who argued that the plots of all novels can be reduced to 12 basic "structures". All plots are variations of these structures. So there's no surprise if you found similarity between Blyton and Grisham in one of their works.Delete
In a balanced life money, fame is as important as inner quest. Outlook towards money and fame changes, if one is rooted in their belief. Even if one earns a lot of money, if that money is not really earned then there is no satisfaction. Ultimately, satisfaction in our lives is what drives us. It is a satisfied days work that gives us a good nights sleep, money or no money. In Grisham's novel, the missionary had chosen something that was rooted in her faith. She was happy and she had limited needs. On the other hand, her father had a lot of money, lot of sex, yet was unhappy. We need to find what drives us, and let money and fame come to us, rather than running towards money and fame.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for this superb contribution, Abhijit. I agree with you that how one earns money and what one believes about life are of utmost importance in the discovery of joy in life.Delete
i read this book in my undergrad, and didnt make an impact on me, but now after reading philosophy, i now make some sense . As Epicurius says, self sufficiency is all you need, and I am following that. Excess desire for money and fame, disrupts mental peace and begets turmoil. I have been following that and I am happier!!!! thanks for making me remember about the book againReplyDeleteReplies
When we think deeply about it only we realise what you've realised: that money is not an end but means. That realisation liberates us. Thanks for sharing this thought.Delete
Nice read. I read a quote once which says: people spend all the time earning money and then spend all the money to kill the time. Many of us get confused between the destination and the vehicle. Money is sure the vehicle but not the destination of life.ReplyDeleteReplies
If only more people realised it, Fayaz!Delete
Life would have been much easier on earth. I'm amazed by the stupid things people do just for the sake of money which, as you say, will only make them wonder how to spend it.
Seems ql. Maybe when listening music i will read all.ReplyDelete

Q: How can I get my budgies and cockatiels to whistle? How can I change their whistling repertoire?
A: There are several factors that determine success in developing good whistlers in your flock, including the species, sex and age of your pet birds. It also depends somewhat on whether you have a single companion bird or whether you house several birds together.
Female cockatiels and budgies do not naturally mimic or whistle, so you're unlikely to have much success with them. The natural call of male cockatiels is a whistle, so they're likely to enjoy this type of training, and because budgies naturally chatter, they'll learn to whistle and talk, too. Listen carefully, because budgies talk fast and in high-pitched voices. Budgies do mimic, so if you're really bent on having a whistling budgie, do a lot of whistling around yours. Be aware that a budgie whistle will be worked into its natural chatter, and that it will have a budgie accent to it.
Cockatiels learn a repertoire of whistles or words well when they are young. After they are 2 years old or so, however, their repertoire doesn't seem to change much. Hopefully, you have a young male bird and will work with it diligently when he is most likely to learn. This doesn't mean that your older male won't learn a new tune. There's no reason he cannot keep learning, it's just more likely to happen with young birds.
A male cockatiel that is the only bird in a talkative household is the most successful at learning vocalizations. If you keep cockatiels or budgies with pet birds of the same species, be aware that they will learn the flock language. The flock language between budgies and between cockatiels is strictly "bird." If a single pet becomes part of your family flock, it will be more likely to learn your native language or whistling than the bird that is kept with other birds.
Even when pet birds do not learn to repeat words that you say or your whistles, they are still learning from you. Talk intelligently to your bird using words like "hello, good-bye, good night, shower, treat and seed" in a consistent way, and you will find that your bird will respond to them.
It seems that the wolf whistle is especially easy for male cockatiels to learn, but start whistling other tunes as well. Cockatiels whistle well, and young males are able to learn pop tunes, melodic whistling, jingles and short expressive whistles. One of my cockatiels learned to imitate a complex car alarm. He likes to "go off" about 6 a.m. on summer mornings. Once your pet birds learn to whistle, they can pick up all kinds of things.
Change Their Tune
If your cockatiels or budgies are whistling a tune that you want to modify or drop from their repertoire, stop giving them any feedback for that whistle. When you hear them making it, respond with a whistle you would rather hear instead. If your pet birds make any attempt to change their whistle, whether it sounds like the new whistle or not, reward them with attention and excitement by using the desired new whistle yourself. If you try this for a couple weeks and the offending whistle still isn't going away, then try "whispering."
When the offending whistle reappears, respond with a soft whistle of your own or whisper a word. Your pet birds will be both curious about what you are doing and will probably want to match the low volume level that you are modeling for them. If this whistle doesn't disappear over time, at least it's at a lower volume.

The fresh food heart of Melbourne is set to move – more than a decade after the government decided it was a good idea – and have an immediate impact on Victoria's road network with calls for the urgent completion of the Metropolitan Ring Road.
Melbourne's wholesale fruit and vegetable market will begin vacating its 35-hectare Footscray Road site in July and open at the new 70-hectare Epping site on August 3.
The massive $600 million new market will bring a much needed economic fillip to Melbourne's north with 600 direct market businesses and another 3000 businesses indirectly utilising the new facility.
"It is very exciting for thousands of people," Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford said.
Situated close to the Hume Freeway, Melbourne's gateway to the northern food bowl, the relocation is expected to ease truck movements in the heart of the city.
But Keilor vegetable grower David Wallace said many growers had concerns about the new market location and facility.
"There are not that many positives at all [about the new market], it's just a new building," he said.
Mr Wallace, who is president of the Vegetable Growers Association of Victoria, said the Metropolitan Ring Road link from Greensborough to the Eastern Freeway must be built immediately to provide access to the new market for vegetable growers in the south-east.
He said when the market move was first announced they were told the ring road would be completed by 2020.
Mr Wallace said there were also concerns about the travel distance to Epping for small city retailers and the reduced space at the new market for vegetable growers.
The RACV's Brian Negus said the missing link in the Metropolitan Ring Road had long been the RACVs number one priority.
He said traffic demands from the new Epping market amplified the need for the ring-road completion.
The new Epping market will also include the National Flower Centre and Ms Pulford said it would be a huge economic boost to Melbourne's north.
"It will create great opportunities for the north in terms of businesses that support activities at the market," Ms Pulford said.
She said the expanded market facility came at a good time with increased interest in locally sourced produce.
The wholesale market sells local fruit and vegetables as well as tropical fruit and vegetables from interstate and overseas.
The market move was the subject of a critical Auditor General's report in 2012, that found significant delays in the move, cost overrun, and poor stakeholder management – "management of market tenants contributed to a number of adverse events during the first five years of the project".
The original cost of the market move was put at $230 million and the final $600 million price tag includes $75 million in private-sector investment.
The future of the 35 hectares of prime Footscray Road real estate where the current market stands is unclear.

8 family conflict resolution tips from our intergenerational workshop
Family conflicts leave us feeling angry, hurt, sad, rejected and often helpless. This gives rise to the common response of avoiding conflicts.

Four Ideas In order to Create A Profitable Swing Trading Tactic
Swing trading is extremely a popular strategy used by numerous foreign exchange investors worldwide. Exactly what is swing trading? When relating to forex market, swing trading is the practice of buying a currency pair at low prices and selling it later when its prices have appreciated to a higher level. In order to successfully do that; you need to observe the actual overall performance of one currency with regards to another. This strategy is long term and requires patience. Like a newbie in the foreign exchange market, you have to create an efficient swing trading strategy if you have to make profits in the long run.
Here are 4 instructions that will help you create profitable strategies.
1. Make use of fundamental and technical analysis At any time, analysis of your trading strategy is very important. To achieve success using the swing trading strategies, you must utilize both technical and fundamental analysis. You use just one of the analyses. However, most successful trader uses both analyses concurrently. Again, you will find that technical analysis is commonly used for swing trading strategy because it provide better entry and exit points. In contrast to the fundamental analysis, technical analysis utilizes real market numbers therefore the opportunity of providing much better answers are excellent. Just be sure your broker can supply the data for you. Read an advised old broker on Windsorbrokers review.
2. Watch the price curves closely To achieve success along with swing trading strategy, you have to maintain a close watch at the price curves. The reason being price curves are very significant at indicating changes in prices, even by little margins. You don't need to be a real professional to accurately watch price curves. You only need to make use of your common sense to buy at low price and sell at high prices. However, you should watch out for signs of reversals and continuations.
3. Swing trading patterns Trading patterns are extremely substantial to achieve success with swing trading strategy. To be a successful swing trader, you must use reversal patterns that will give exact entry and close price. Again, the continuation patterns you use must confirm you are trading in the right side of the market. Otherwise you will only make losses. It is worth spending more time to do pattern research.
4. Analyse the market using momentum indicators There are many momentum indicators you can use to see how the market is overbought. Some of the best momentum indicators include the RSI, MACD, stochastic and ADX indicators among others. All momentum indicators are visual and are very easy to learn and use. For an overbought indicator, select a resistance opposition slightly above the price. A momentum indicator signals an overbought market when it turns down. Be patient and wait for higher odds for you to be successful.
In summary To achieve success as well as make profits with swing trading, you have to place all of the 5 factors talked about in practice. If you're a newbie, join the foreign exchange market open-minded prepared to learn each time. You will struggle to make profits if you don't use best strategies. Once again; you don't have to trade everyday for you to make more profits with forex market. Making money with forex market isn't merely about buying and selling on the same day. Following a strict swing trading strategy is the only easy way that will help you make money.
