He said it was his dream to make the NBA all-star game, Sunday night the Celtics Isaiah Thomas fulfilled his dream when he stepped on the floor with the best players in the world.
On Sunday the Boston Celtics were reminded that you have to play defense in the NBA even when you are taking on one of the worst teams in the league. The reminder came in the form of a 111-101 loss to Brooklyn.
Paul George sparked an 11-0 run late in the third quarter that propelled the Indiana Pacers to a 102-91 win over the Boston Celtics who hurt themselves with costly late game turnovers.
The Boston Celtics continue to play well in the preseason and Thursday night improved to 5-1 with a 99-85 win over the New York Knicks.
For the second time this summer a member of the Boston Celtics has sustained an injury with the latest coming to Kelly Olynyk.
Former Boston Celtics guard Paul Pierce tried his hand at baseball Tuesday night when he was at Dodger Stadium to throw out the first pitch. Let's just say it didn't go well.
It was a good news bad news night for the Boston Celtics in their summer league game against the Trail Blazers.
The Boston Celtics have reportedly reached agreement with two of their own free agents and Amir Johnson form the Toronto Raptors.
The National Basketball Association holds its annual player draft tonight and the Boston Celtics will be at the center of things with four picks...unless they pull off a trade.

Richard, the C-130 is the plane my son flew when he was on active duty.
I remember when he took us into the cockpit; I couldn't get over all the buttons, gauges and switches. He reminded me that when I was working in the ICU, there were a lot of the same things. You get used to what you're working with.

I was reading today about some quilts that are being made in honor of these wonderful people. They are memorial quilts. There is supposed to be one that's traveling through Florida right now. I want to find one I can contribute to and dedicate my block to one of these fallen soldiers.
Thank you again, Gretchen, for posting this valuable information for all of us to see. The sadness is overwhelming for me but not nearly as overwhelming as it is for their families and friends.
I've been Boo'd...
Thanks Barry!

fing sci-fi and comic-book movies isn't the height of innovation, by any stretch, but "Megamind" rates several cuts above cut-rate. Debuting screenwriters Alan J. Schoolcraft and Brent Simons are smart enough to take the story into some unexpected turns. Characters actually surprise you a bit, and the voice work " particularly Ferrell and the ever-sunny David Cross ("Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel") as a talking fish " helps breathe life into archetypes.
The animation is equally impressive. Director Tom McGrath (both "Madagascar"s) does a fine job showcasing the stereoscopic effects without straining, and there is exemplary detail and texture throughout. If "Megamind" is ultimately more "meh" than "mega," it nevertheless works as a pleasant diversion. "Phil Bacharach

Doane's Relay for Life Raises $58,883
Doane College's student-led Relay For Life event has raised $58,883.21 to date in support of the American Cancer Society and the battle against cancer.
The main event, held 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. April 12- 13 in the George and Sally Haddix Recreation and Athletic Center, brought hundreds of supporters from the campus and community. Attendees participated in traditional Relay For Life activities like the survivor walk and luminaria ceremony. Additional events included jail and bail, multiple live concerts, and the Miss Relay pageant.
Relay is the trademark service event of Doane, with nearly half of the student body as well as a large cross-section of faculty and staff participating in some form. The college is in its eleventh year of hosting an annual Relay for Life event.
Last year, participants were able to raise $70,689 for cancer research. This amount earned Doane the No. 1 spot in the High Plains Division and the No. 1 spot in the nation for Per Capita Fundraising for colleges and universities with similar enrollments. The college has also ranked second in the nation for fundraising in previous years.
The goal for this year was $75,000. Fundraising can still be done and will count toward this year's goal through June 30. If you are interested in donating, please visit www.doane.edu/relay-for-life-event.

Nice, well-kept barn. Thanks, LJ!
A barn in great shape, and with a farmer relaxing!
I agree with Rosie. The photo has a sense of peace. And uh.... it's good to see there are also new and well kept barns in America. :-)))
Thanks, Pat! It's not an old barn, like we normally post, but I liked it, anyway.
Lovely barn ... Laura....
Yes, rosie! I totally agree with you! There's a lot of that kind of fencing in these here parts, PG.
When I saw the thumbnail of this I had such a sense of peace. I guess it reminds me of the quiet that comes at times in the country. ; )
Good electric fence.
Yes, Davehenry, that is exactly what he was doing. Glad you like the barn. It looks pretty new.
looks like someone in the lower right cutting grass. Nice barn.

As one of North America's premier roll forming companies, Nu-Tech Roll Forming Inc. knows the importance of investing in itself and its customers. With that in mind, the Mississauga, Ont.-based company recently invested in tools for the hollow metal door industry.
Added capability
The new tooling, which includes glass stops, thermal stops and glazing beads, gives Nu-Tech the capability to frame out hollow metal door window inserts.
These new hollow metal door components have been put on the company's recently installed state-of-the-art roll form line with programmable pre-piercing capability and a servo driven cut off.
According to Nu-Tech, "this line will offer the speed and accuracy that is needed to be competitive and excel in today's environment."

Nu-Tech understands that there is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding Ontario manufacturing, but that doesn't stop it from believing that Ontario is a great place to do business. In fact, the roll forming company says that there is no better time to invest than right now.
"We have seen a definite uptick in business since the deterioration of the Canadian dollar, and we are prepared to invest and capitalize on this trend," explains Kevin Brewer, the company's sales manager.
Nu-Tech expertise
Nu-Tech Roll Forming prides itself on being a full-service supplier. The company has the capability to assist in all aspects of manufacturing projects, from bending, spot welding, assembly, grinding and polishing, to design and engineering, tooling and die fabrication, roll forming and stamping.

Carnegie Medal Winner * New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age * VOYA Best Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror * ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults * Book Sense Pick
The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits.
For this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken streets....
Set in Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld, this masterfully crafted, gripping read is both compelling and funny. When one of the world's most acclaimed fantasy writers turns a classic fairy tale on its head, no one will ever look at the Pied Piper—or rats—the same way again!

Rangers striker Jon Daly experienced the buzz that winning the Scottish Cup brought to Dundee United - so he knows just how much it would mean to an Ibrox support desperate for some good news.
Daly helped United to success in the 2010 final and he continues his quest to return to the big stage when Rangers host Dunfermline in the fifth round of the William Hill Scottish Cup on Friday night.
"It's massive," Daly said. "At United we won the cup and the season before we got to the League Cup final. Everyone saw how big that was.
Loading article content
"It's a great day out for the players and their families and the fans as well. It would be great to experience that with a club like Rangers."
Financial issues continue to blight Ibrox with the players last month refusing to accept a 15 per cent pay cut as chief executive Graham Wallace bids to address serious over-spending.
And while Daly is eager to put the money troubles to one side, he knows a cup run would give supporters some much-needed cheer.
"As players we try not to concentrate on stuff that goes on off the park," he said. "Our job is to try to do the right thing on the park.
"We have done that for most of the season. We got knocked out of the League Cup early and (since then) dropped two points in the league, so I think we have done a fairly good job at the moment.
"It would be great to get through to a quarter-final and great for the fans."
Daly had cup medals in his sights when he swapped the Scottish Premiership for League One last summer.
"We wanted to win the league and get to the next division and you do look at the cups as a chance to get another medal," the Irishman said.
"It was in my mind that I have come to a massive club like this and try and win a trophy. My mind hasn't changed, I still think we've got a good squad to go on a good run."
Dunfermline's last trip to Ibrox was a bruising encounter: Pars striker Jordan Moore was sent off, eight players were booked, Rangers player Andy Little suffered a broken jaw and cheekbone, full-back Richard Foster suffered ankle ligament damage that forced him out for six weeks, and skipper Lee McCulloch needed six stitches in a head wound.
Daly said: "There were quite a few serious injuries that came from that game. It's something that we just have to put in the back of our minds and concentrate on this game. I'm sure it will be pretty similar.
"They are a good side and will be well up for it. We need to make sure we match that and hopefully we can put our chances away and get through to the next round."
Daly was speaking at the launch of a new partnership between the Rangers Charity Foundation and the Scottish Association for Mental Health.
Daly said: "Mental health isn't always visible to those around us and it's not always the easiest topic between family and friends. It is so important to do what we can to have good mental health and to support those who may be experiencing a mental health problem."

*Consumer Comment: Similar Situation
Wanting to give it a chance I stayed and then the compan did some "upgrades". Their upgrades proved to be downgrades for the types of items I sell -- their category system became more limited and more biased toward items they apparently want sold on their site. Then they changed the size of the photos accepted on their site -- I managed to find my way through these changes and stayed despite my disappointments because anytime I called OLA I was told, things were changing for the better and "stick it out, we're coming along"! I also learned that it was necessary to be a computer techy to really get anywhere on the site and I am not. This was not explained in any conversation I had with anyone from OLA. I only got stories from their "people" that changes were coming and things would be great".
I reached a breaking point and decided that I didn't want to sell there anymore and OLA has it set up that you must CALL IN to cancel any type of membership which is perfect for their salespeople to start their pitch! FRANK was my salesperson. I told Frank I wanted out and the sales pitch started. To be brief I was offered $100 in free upgrades if I would stick it out for another three months. I agreed to think about it and call him back. I decided I was not interested in a three month commitment and told Frank so and he told me he would offer the same for two months and that I should call him that Friday with my decision. My membership was due to be charged for another month that Saturday, so we were cutting it close, but Frank assured me that there would be no problem if I decided I did not want to renew
I called on Friday to cancel my membership and got voice mail and left a message. I called three more times throughout the day and still only got voice mails and left messages that under no circumstances should my credit card be charged, that I wanted to end my relationship with OLA. I even tried calling another number and was left on hold endlessly.
Saturday morning, I woke up to an email that I was charged for another month! I was insensed and went into the forums to discuss my problem. I was basically "tarred and feathered" by the over zealous OLA people. Someone with an "in" to OLA obviously contacted their "webmaster" who entered the forum after I had already left and told me to contact OLA in the am on Monday.
Frank called me on Monday and we discussed the situation. He told me he had a "death in the family" and wasn't able to answer his phone. Since I could not know if the story was true or not, I offered my condolences and we discussed OLA a little more and I was drawn back in. I thanked Frank for being so considerate and he replied with: "That's because I'm a CHRISTIAN and I have to be this way". I was nauseated by the response and said: "Well, I'm not, and I am a good person too". To me religion has no place in the work place and as of yesterday, September 26, 2008, OLA has changed their rules to include this sentiment!
I went back to selling a little and participating in the chats. On Wednesday, I was in the chats having a conversation with another member that had stared in OLA's "omails" - their private way of communicating. The conversation was totally civil until one of the overzealous people decided to chime in and I responded to the comment. The comments became heated and then one of the BIG OLA "cheerleaders" joined in and went for my neck. I told her she had no idea what was going on in the original conversation and that she didn't need to be involved in this. She came back at me, called me names and threatened to report me to OLA if I posted private "omails". We both got very nasty -- I felt I was defending myself against two people who had absolutely no business starting up with me. They were looking for trouble.
I immediately called OLA to complain to ROWAN and told him how awful it was to deal with the two separate "camps" of people and the games people play on the site and how people are being run out of the site by certain people. He assured me this complaint would be addressed. OLA addressed this by pulling the whole forum -- something they have done before rather than deal with issues.
Yesterday, Friday the 26th, the forums magically returned to OLA and I was "banned" from them with no notification. I immediately called OLA and once again spoke to ROWAN who told me he would have someone from management call me back. He also told me there were very few people in the office available because they were preparing for a trade show. VALERIE called me back, claiming to be in management. I told her that it appeared that I was banned and I wanted an explanation. VALERIE LIED TO ME. She told me there was nothing wrong with my account and that it was probably my computer's cookies that needed to be cleaned! She assured me I was in good standing! She told me to call Monday if I was still having problems.
Well, it was not my "cookies" -- I was blown off by someone who did not want to deal with this issue on a Friday evening. Everyone at OLA is great at passing the buck and pushing things under the rug. No one else who participated in this "argument" was banned -- only me. I FIND THIS TO BE DISCRIMINATORY AND DISGUSTING.
I have emailed every address on OLA's front page to make sure that my membership is cancelled without me having to call and hear a sales pitch again. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau against them.
Personally, I feel because I am a monthly member, not one of the people who fell for the "founding membership" fees of $196, that I am easily dispensable. I can be replaced easily, not someone who has forked over yearly fees.
I feel OLA owes me an apology for not having the decency to tell me the truth. I feel that I am owed an apology for having CHRISTIANITY thrown in my face when it has no place in my life.
I want to warn anyone thinking of getting involved with OLA that the site is not moving in growth, it is going backwards. If you are not tech savvy, you will go nowhere because they offer no advertising. OLA is run like a giant garage sale and sell very low quality items. Most sales are made between sellers. There is absolutely no outside buyer base. They promise the moon and deliver nothing and there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to how they run things. They are deceptive and I personally feel it is similar to the pyramid schemes of years ago because founding members are encouraged to recruit new members with promises of perks if the new member uses their membership number. It is unprofessional and low class. It made me appreciate where I have been selling more. It is more like a cult than an online auction site. I have never seen anything like this in my life and hope not to every see anything like this again.
I want to warn everyone -- stay away from OLA -- Online Auction.Com. It is a company that has been around for years but poses as a new site because it has been around in different incarnations.

I continued to list, but then stopped and went elsewhere. After about a week of no activity, I went back to check my account only to be found by the Internet End page that I was suspended. I called OLA to ask them what was going on. I was met with a very rude Frank. He asked my name, I told him, his words were "We saw what you did in chat you're suspended forever and cannot come back on the site." Which ended in him hanging up on me. Great customer service right?
I've seen the reviews from other sellers, and you know what, I did not have a great experience. I'm out $8 for the month of April 2013 and in the 4-5 months I've been a monthly member, I didn't have a single sale! Because of the lack of sales I'm out $45!
I was recommended to this site by a close friend and now he feels bad for even recommending me. By the way, he hasn't been on the site in about a year now because he closed out his business and he checked his account and he too is suspended.
I suggest to anyone don't sign up for this company, other sites are better.

Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Md., plan to seek a sentence in the Bethesda Lululemon Athletica slaying.
Brittany Norwood is charged with first-degree murder in the March death of Jayna Murray, her coworker at the upscale yoga clothing store.
According to authorities, Norwood killed Murray after Murray discovered suspected stolen items in Norwood's bag. Norwood tried to cover up the crime by telling investigators that the women were attacked and sexually assaulted inside the store by two masked men, police said.
Along with Murray's body, police found Norwood bound and apparently injured inside the store the morning of March 12, but surveillance video and forensic and physical evidence did not support her story of a small man and a large man committing the crimes, investigators said. Evidence found in Murray's car led police to develop Norwood as a suspect. Police believe she moved the car three blocks away from the scene to a parking lot in Bethesda, where it was found. Tracks found in the store had been made by a pair of size 14 shoes found in the store, police said said.
State's Attorney John McCarthy advised Norwood's attorney, Douglas Wood, of his office's intention to seek a life sentence in a letter this week, the Associated Press reported.
Norwood's trial is scheduled for October 24 in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

I'm going dairy-free and I'm wondering if it will be okay for me to have a marinara slice or something like that at a pizzeria, or does the dough involve milk or butter?
For that matter, I'm curious about donuts, as well. If I get a donut without a creme or frosting or icing, am I okay, or does the donut itself contain dairy?

96-98 PCM repair procedure W/Pictures
Hi guys.
This writeup has been a long time coming and is sort of a give back for all the info that has been a help to me in the past. Thanks.
This procedure is not for all, but if followed, will fix the infamous dying while driving problem that many had believed to be caused by the 2 torx screws or the 3 bad connectors on the PCM.
You will need to know how to solder correctly, so if you decide to take this on, and dont have any experience soldering, you can practice with just about anything that plugs into the wall now a days. Just about everything has a circuit board in it.
Just to save typing, if you have been successful with getting your Jeep to respond well to the problems of back firing, stumbling, stalling at driving as well as idling speeds, by tie wrapping the PCM connectors to the PCM, all indications are telling you that the soldering connections within the PCM are bad. This is the procedure for reflowing the bad connections that have occurred over time due to the expansion and contraction of the potting compound, that the circuit board is encase in, caused.
I will explain the whole procedure in detail just so you wont screw up anything as I did on the first PCM I attempted to repair.
If you screwed up the PCM connector pins and need to replace them. The following link has all the info on getting replacement pins, and what youll need in order to replace them.
Supplies needed for the repair,
Regular hand tools,
A pocket knife
A thin razor, snap off blade type utility knife
A torch (propane or map gas)
A brass utility brush (a steel one is too aggressive)
A can of Acetone (for removing traces of potting and cleaning up the pins and circuit board)
A soldering iron (25-40 watt) A Weller iron is a decent brand
Solder (.020) you might get away with .032 gauge, but the thinner the better
Solder wicking (for removing excess solder, if too much has been applied
A tube of silicone chalking (not the latex type)
The first thing that needs to be explained is how the PCM is assembled so nothing other than what is needed to be done is disturbed.
In the picture below, youll see that the top cover is actually a circuit board, laminated onto an aluminum plate. The stuff on there is a gel potting compound that is contained in a foam retainer, and acts as the protective coating and also wicks away heat while the PCM is operating. It sticks onto the cover when the cover is taken off. We want to leave it this way. Do not remove or disturb this stuff when you have it apart. There is no substitute that I have found as yet that doesnt come in 2 one gallon jugs. $$
Dont do anything yet,
Youll also notice, on the cover, that theres a connector bonded to the cover, which plugs into the (MB) mother board, which is totally encased in a much firmer potting compound. When its time to remove the cover, you will need to pull up on the right and left sides (torx screw holes) of the cover so you dont harm the bond that holds the connector to the cover. Dont worry its held on pretty good. Dont try taking the cover off by pulling up from the bottom end. It might break the bond that holds it there.
So much for the adjectives
Disconnect the battery
Remove the over flow reservoir
Remove the PCM
Remove the 2 torx screws that hold the two circuit boards together
Bend up the 8 case tabs holding the cover on. (These tabs will break if bent a couple of times)
The foam potting retainer is glued to the top cover, and needs to be freed up, so that the retainer remains with the MB.
With a screw driver blade, create a space between the case and the cover, and with the snap off razor knife, cut through the foam on the right, bottom and left sides, inside the case though the crack, to free its bond to the cover. The top portion of the foam by the connectors can't be reached without disturbing the gel. So leave it attached. It will tear when removing the cover but won't affect the outcome of the repair. Remove the cover by the torx screw sides. Inspect the connections where the cover connector is soldered to the cover. This isn't one of the suspected bad areas but I checked it all the same.
Next, cut around the sides of the case, to loosen the firmer potting compound, with the pocket knife. Make sure you get it loosened in the corners down to the back of the case.
Put the case in a vise (gripping it by the two PCM mounting eyelets) to hold it while you heat the back of the case with a torch. You'll need to do this in a well-ventilated area.
You aren't going to damage anything by heating the back of the case. It will melt just enough of the compound, in order for you to pull the MB out of the case. Heat the back evenly! With a pair of channel locks, grab the 3 gang connector (by one of the plug's separating ribs). The inside of the connector has a waterproofing layer, so don't destroy the seal. Grab the outside of the connector. Be careful, this melted compound is as hot as hell.
Let the MB cool completely before trying to remove any of the compound. It comes off much easier. Remove any melted or clumps of potting from inside the case. Don't clean it out completely. The left over potting in the case will help to bond the MB back in.
Looking at a side view of the MB, figure out the area that needs to stripped of compound, in order to access the pins on the back of the board.
Using your two thumbs, roll off the compound, start on one side and work compound off to the other.
The film that is left over will need to be removed by using the Acetone and the brass utility
brush. The Acetone will break down the active agent in the compound and the brush will pull off the film like crumbled cheese. Don't use a steel brush. It's too aggressive.
There are 96 pins that are soldered to the MB from the 3 gang connector housing and 23 pins from the connector housing for the cover board that need to be reflowed. Put your good set of eyeballs on. I found that, when reflowing the pins, lifting up on the iron after soldering each connection prevented any accidental shorting of an adjacent pin. Check your work with a magnifying glass.
I would recommend that you test out your repair by putting the unit back together and running it for a week or so, without ty wrapping the connectors or caulking. I still have mine in running this way for almost a year now because I want to do further research on it. Just assemble it and secure the whole unit back together with thin ty wraps securing the covers and the case. Don't bend the case tabs. Until you have caulked up the back of the MB with silicone evenly with the OEM potting compound and run a bead around the MB and case, leave the tabs straight until you are satisfied that it's working correctly.
Good luck!
Just a little more info for anyone that might be interested…
The shot below is a picture of the frequency modulator that sets up the speed of the processor that I haven't figured out as yet. There is no numbers on the chip that can be cross reference in order to get a replacement. I don't know at what speed the microprocessor runs at. I don't want to over clock it or have it running at a slower speed, so if anybody is familiar with these ancient chips and knows anything about their speeds, I would be interested. I destroyed the JY PCM while doing the complete potting removal and need this chip in order to repair it.
Great write up, seems like a ton of work for a $40-$50 PCM.
$40-50???? When did they lower the price?
Just bought a PCM from a 5.9 a couple of weeks ago for $40 with a 90 day warranty.
Someone PM'd me on when I was going to do the write up. Most guys here seem to be paying upwards of $250. just thought I'd help a little for those that aren't as lucky as you. I sure wasn't. I made my own luck w/lifetime warranty for nothing.
Don't get me wrong it's great and worth while write up. I'm sure that folks will find it very useful. 5.9 and even the 96-97 4.0 PCM's are hard to find.
A year or two ago you could find loads of JY's carrying a full array of replacements (cash for clunkers?).
I think all of these re manufacturers bought them up.
In the south, $40-50 PCMs are very scarce. I suppose it's because vehicles tend to stay on the road longer.
Great work JS:cheers2:
Doing this writeup was like doing my first TC overhaul. If I ever do another one, it will take a fraction of the time. ZeeJay, How's your new ride?
Regarding your missing chip: There is a company called KDS that make crystal oscillators: http://www.kds.info/index_en.htm
8M4566 could refer to the speed, as in 8.4566 MHz. Is quite common that they replace the decimal point with the SI prefix: k, M, n etc.
Yeah that could be true. I'm from Canada with salty roads and more cars then people. Oh yeah and no cash for clunkers here, that was a shame to see.
I had spoken to one of the engineers at KDS and if they could have answered me in a simple explanation as you have it would have been too easy. They weren't that helpful, but I think your concept would be a good starting point. Sounds very plausible.They had told me that the number was just an in house # that they couldn't look up.???

Learn How To Stop Your Dog From Digging Product Reviews
On Don Sullivan's "Secrets to Training the Perfect Dog," website, dogfather.tv, he has a photo of himself with his dog, or someone else's, straddled across his shoulders. It is akin to a woman carrying her purse on her head. Yes, she can do it but it will certainly look awkward. If Mr. Sullivan wants to wear a "dog collar," there are more appropriate ways of doing it.
Nonetheless, Don Sullivan has devised a system that helps dog owners train their pets to be perfectly obedient. The issue here is whether it works. There have been conflicting reviews, but overall most of those who have tried Mr. Sullivan's training technique swear by it. The training method of "Secrets to Training the Perfect Dog" is for all breeds, even though there have been conflicting reports about pit bulls not being trained using his system.
Click Here to Try DIY Dog Training Today
The website has an informative video that goes into detail about Mr. Sullivan's dog training offer. For example, a dog runs into the street. By utilizing Mr. Sullivan's method, within a matter of minutes you can have your dog sitting at your door. On the video, the door is opened again and the dog does not budge. Minus special effects, the quick turnaround is due to Mr. Sullivan's training system.
True to the classic infomercial, the video states that if you order within the next twenty minutes you qualify for two payments of [$29.95] instead of three, thereby lessening the price. Along with the two DVDs, organizing bag, and start guide, dog owners also receive:
-A Dog Collar
The Command Collar is created to imitate the natural training of a dog's mother. It comes in two sizes for small and larger dogs.
-Freedom Training Lines
The Freedom Lines, or ropes, are supposed to assist the dog's training, and can be used for inside the home, leash-free training, and periphery training.
Don Sullivan's philosophy is pretty straightforward. For example, he prefers that dogs receive zero treats for good behavior. In his view the use of treats, or bribery as he calls it, stunts a dog's training potential. However, some experts beg to differ. Ask anyone at a Crufts Dog Show how they get their sweet pooches to jump, turn, and twirl so beautifully. Strict training along with a few treats here and there goes a long way.
Other dog owners, and those without dogs, feel opposed to the suggestion that after using Mr. Sullivan's training methods, dogs can be left off their leashes in public and will obey you without hesitation when called. This very well might be the case, but like small children, temptation can get the best of any living creature and there goes the discipline.
In order for a dog to be "perfect" it means that their owners must be perfect as well. Through history we have come to realize that perfection is a myth, and leads to expectations that cannot be fulfilled. In spite of this, Mr. Sullivan's training technique deserves the benefit of a doubt. Out of five points perhaps a total of three would be the "perfect" assessment.

Silver Lightening can strike gold for Kevin Prendergast
Kevin Prendergast's Silver Lightening is napped to take the UL Racing Society's mile maiden at Limerick this evening.
The Verglas three-year-old made an encouraging bow at the Curragh recently, keeping on from the rear to draw a couple of lengths clear of the rest when second to Jim Bolger's Alpinist, which had the benefit of a run last year.
With that experience under his belt, the grey can prove too strong for some more exposed rivals.
Joseph and Aidan O'Brien could take the fillies' maiden with Hanky Panky, a daughter of Galileo that tired late on when fourth over a mile on soft ground in a decent Listed race behind Seolan at the Curragh in the autumn.
The drop to seven furlongs could prove key now, while the Ballydoyle duo should also take the older horses' maiden with Marchese Marconi.
Benbecula is fancied for Tommy Carmody and Johnny Murtagh in the penultimate handicap.
The Dermot Weld-trained Voleuse De Coeurs is weighted to win the concluding conditions race.

Goodbye to Virginia
by Jamison Koehler on June 18, 2013
Although my wife and I have been packing for a couple of weeks now, it was not until I started to take the artwork down in our Virginia house that the reality of the move began to sink in.
We settled on the Baltimore house yesterday, with the move planned for Friday.
Built in the 1880's, the new house is large and grand with ceilings that must be 12 to 15 feet high on the main floor. The house will also require a lot of work.

7 Songs For Your Rapture-Viewing Party Playlist
If you're anything like me, you're planning on joining your fellow damned heathens on a rooftop somewhere to watch the souls of the saved as they ascend into heaven. This is expected to be followed by cooking the flesh of wild beasts and a friendly game of canasta, set to the sweet sounds of 1980s Christian entertainment.
The Superbook Theme Song From Season 1
In my house, we only had the first season of Superbook, but I have to admit the season 2 theme song is even more awesome than the first. In Season 1, the Superbook (Bible) was capable of traversing time and space by its own holy power. In season 2, Superbook "got programmed and now its computerized" which I can only assume means that the kids teach Mary and Joseph how to create a budget spreadsheet. With ROBOTS.
The Superbook Theme Song From Season 2
As a child of the 80's raised in a strictly protestant home, I learned that the Bible is all about time-travel and robots through the wildly successful Superbook anime series. If your guests are between the ages of 25-35 and went to church every damn Sunday of the year, give Superbook a try.
The Flying House Theme Song
The Flying House was a different show all together, except that it was about a trio of time-travelling kids and a robot (this time named Sir) going back to the ancient Middle East to learn about Jesus and stuff. These kids were also (sometimes) accompanied by their questionable guardian Professor Bumble and his Flying House.
"Nu Thang" - The Michael Clancy Cover
Don't laugh. If you're over the age of 25 and you're planning on attending a rapture viewing party then the chances are pretty great that you were this kid. Have some respect.
"Nu Thang" - D.C. Talk
Thanks to the
invasivehelpful parenting advice from groups like Dr. James Dobson's Focus On The Family, this was one of the first tapes I ever owned. Sure, you might be more familiar with the pop-rock sound of Jesus Freak, but true D.C. Talk fans know it's all about their old skool hip hop sound.
"Heaven Bound" - D.C. Talk
You know you just want to listen to D.C. Talk for the rest of the day.
Anything From Kids Praise 5
The Kids Praise serious taught many the true meaning of Hell on Earth. Do you have any horrible Christian-themed music for us to listen to while we get our blasphemy on? Post 'em in the comments!

Productivity Growth, Efficiency and Outsourcing in Manufacturing and Service Industries
This paper is a survey of recent contributions to, and developments of, the relationship between outsourcing, efficiency and productivity growth in manufacturing and services. The objective is to provide a thorough and up--to--date survey that provides a significant discussion on data, as well as on the core methods of measuring efficiency and productivity. First, the readers are introduced to the measurement of partial and total factor productivity growth. Different parametric and non--parametric approaches to the productivity measurement in the context of static, dynamic and firm--specific modelling are discussed. Second, we survey the econometric approach to efficiency analysis. The issues of modelling, distributional assumptions and estimation methods are discussed assuming that cross--sectional or panel data are available. Third, the relationship between outsourcing and productivity growth in manufacturing and services is discussed. The correspondence between a number of hypotheses and empirical findings are examined. Examples of varieties of relevant empirical applications, their findings and implications are presented. Fourth, measurement of inputs and outputs in manufacturing and services are discussed. Finally, to promote useful research, a number of factors important to the analysis of outsourcing, efficiency and productivity growth in the service sector are summarised.

Stinky's New Ashtray
- March 14, 2008 |
- By Michael Moretti
Stinky, the resourceful creator of household-product inspired smoking accessories, has revamped his signature ashtray into a new floor stand model.
Stinky's Floor Ashtray is quite literally an extension of the original steel punch-bowl-like receptacle, which was embraced by the cigar industry en masse in 2005. At 24 inches high, the floor stand ashtray is built to post up next to your favorite overstuffed leather chair for easy access while you recline, or to be readily available to receive a quick ash-on-the-go as you stroll through a tobacconist's showroom. Made completely out of stainless steel from top to bottom, the stand is clean, simple and functional. The original-sized ashtray is perched atop the stand's stem, outfitted with four stirrups or cigar rests -- although there is room for a lot more sticks if needed. The design is reminiscent of your basic cigarette stand ashtray once commonplace in most public buildings, only the Stinky receptacle is quite deep, fashioned with the large butts of cigars in mind instead of the petite ends of cigarettes.
The back story to the brand is a great example of the entrepreneurship often seen in the cigar industry. Stinky is the nickname of the owner and creator of the ashtray, -- although it could also describe the odor wafting from a basin full of dead cigars. The inspiration stems from Stinky's observation that most ashtrays don't allow enough space for multiple sticks, plus all the stuff that smokers tend to throw in along with ashes. The original piece was made from a secondhand silver bowl and three souvenir coins that Stinky found around his house and latched together to accommodate the accumulating pile of ash from his visiting buddies. Stinky, an engineer by training, ran with the idea, did further research, made some modifications, came up with a prototype and a manufacturer in India, and went to the 2004 Retail Tobacco Dealers of America trade show with the ashtrays in hand.
The Stinky's Floor Ashtray retails for $75 and is available at your local tobacconist or by visiting www.stinkycigar.com.

Having played host over the centuries to Greeks, Romans, the Byzantines and other great cultures, the land that comprises modern-day Turkey is filled with numerous and valuable archeological sites. To view some of the more extraordinary finds from many of those sites, though, requires going to museums in other countries. For example, the altar of Zeus from the ancient city of Pergamon, dug up by a German team in the late 1800's, resides in Berlin, while other valuable artifacts originally found in Turkey are housed in assorted European and American museums.
The Turkish government has decided that it can score nationalist points by launching a vocal campaign to recover ancient Anatolian artifacts from foreign museums. Over the last year the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism has resorted to ever-more aggressive measures, from threatening to suspend the excavation licenses of foreign archeological teams to blocking the export of museum exhibits. Last month, for instance, the ministry announced that it would not issue export licenses for several dozen museum pieces due to be displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the British Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. As a result, important exhibitions—Byzantium and Islam at the Met, The Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam at the British Museum, and The Ottomans at the V&A—have either had to scramble to find alternative artifacts in non-Turkish collections or delay the exhibitions altogether.
Via Jenny White's Kamil Pasha blog, I just came across the incredible Mashallah News website, which reports on culture, art, politics and lots of other things from several Middle Eastern cities. Their Istanbul section is particularly engaging, with photoessays and videos that explore the outer edges of Turkish culture and go beneath the surface of current events. Highly recommended.

What exactly is anthrax, and should you be worried about it?
Anthrax is an infection caused by a bacterium (a type of germ) called Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis). Although it's most commonly seen in grazing animals like sheep, pigs, cattle, horses, and goats, anthrax also can occur in humans — although it's very rare.
In the environment, the anthrax-causing bacterium forms spores (a version of the germ covered by a hard protective shell) that can live in the soil for years. People can become infected by coming into contact with these spores through a break in the skin (such as a cut or scrape), by eating food (usually undercooked meat) contaminated by them, or by inhaling spores (breathing them into the lungs). But anthrax is not contagious, which means that it can't spread from person to person.
It's extremely unlikely that you or someone you know could get anthrax. In fact, there are usually only one or two reported cases of anthrax per year. Most of these have been in people who work with animals or animal products.
Anthrax that occurs naturally in the environment isn't a huge threat. But B. anthracis can be grown in a laboratory and some people are worried about anthrax germs being grown as a weapon.
The issue of laboratory-grown B. anthracis received lots of attention in 2001 after an anthrax outbreak in the United States. The outbreak scared many people, in part because five people died (which is very rare) and also because the outbreak coincided with the September 11 terrorist attacks. However, bioterrorism experts believe that it is technologically difficult to use anthrax effectively as a weapon on a large scale.
The three main types of anthrax are:
It usually takes fewer than 7 days for a person to show signs of anthrax after being infected. However, symptoms of pulmonary anthrax can sometimes take months to appear.
It's very difficult to get anthrax. Just being exposed to the spores or coming into contact with an infected animal doesn't mean that a person will automatically develop the disease.
For example, to get pulmonary anthrax (the type of anthrax that killed the five people in the 2001 outbreak), a person has to inhale thousands of spores. This is extremely difficult to do when the anthrax spores are found in soil or on infected animals.
Even in the case of the manmade outbreak in 2001, several of the people who were exposed were found to have B. anthracis spores only in their nostrils when tested. These spores hadn't made it to their lungs in sufficient amounts to cause a problem. In other words, the people had been exposed to the bacteria but had not developed the disease.
Medical professionals can diagnose anthrax by taking samples from the skin sores, blood, or other bodily fluids of people who are believed to have been exposed to B. anthracis. These samples are then sent to a lab to check whether the person has the bacteria in his or her system.
If anthrax is caught early, it is almost always successfully treated with antibiotics. If a person is known to have been exposed to B. anthracis but has no signs or symptoms of the disease, antibiotics may be given (after exposure) to prevent the disease from occurring.
Although there is a vaccine for anthrax, in the United States it is currently only recommended for people who are at risk of coming into contact with B. anthracis. They include people who work with B. anthracis in laboratories, people who handle potentially infected animal products, and U.S. military personnel. The vaccine is not given routinely to people in the United States and it hasn't been studied for use in people younger than 18.
If you worry when you hear about anthrax, remember that it's very rare, and it's unlikely that you will ever be exposed to the germs that cause anthrax. If you're worried about it, talk to a science teacher or medical professional — someone who can help you find the answers to any questions you may have about anthrax.

I stopped by a sewing machine shop yesterday and they showed me the 1/4" seam foot for one of their machines.
Guess What? It didn't sew a true 1/4" seam. So be sure and check the foot and adjust to give you the correct seam. It won't make any difference if you are sewing squares but sure would make a difference if you are sewing mahy shapes together.

The upcoming Facebook IPO is a very interesting scenario. Not just from a startup / social media or tech point of view but from an economic one. There are a lot of facts and figures being thrown around, but from my point of view I'm interested in just a few of them and what they mean for tech entreprepreneurs:
100 Billion Valuation: If the IPO is successful the expected valuation is 33 times their current revenue. And around 100 times their earnings. For comparison purposes Apple current has a 14 times earnings ratio while Google has 12 times. Both companies which have established and growing revenue streams. I know which companies I'd rather hold stock in.
68 Million in acquisitions: In the past year Facebook invested $68 million in purchasing other companies. They have an appetite for acquisition. And that appetite will only grow when the pressures of being public come to the fore. It means that startups who have invented ways to extract money from the Facebook platform are well placed to be bought by the mothership. If you have an idea on how to do this get moving, because the stock market pressures will ensure that startups with revenue generation via Facebook will be targeted.
The IPO will create 1000+ new millionaires: All of which will feel a sense of 'owing the tech community'. Many of whom will feel like tech rockstars and want to start their own Angel funds. Which means there will be more startups being funded by the FB IPO gold rush. If there was ever a good time to seek money from the Valley, post FB float will be one of the good ones.

Imholte Hall flood cleanup progressing well
By Tom Larson
Sun Tribune
Clean-up efforts are progressing exceptionally well Thursday at the University of Minnesota, Morris' John Q. Imholte Hall after a third-floor sprinkler pipe burst Wednesday afternoon and flooded a large portion of the three-story classroom and office building.
"The staff has done an amazing job so far," Dave Aronson, a Project Manager for UMM's Plant Services Department said Thursday afternoon. "It's in much better shape than you would think it could have been if you saw it Wednesday."
UMM maintenance and custodial staff have been working on the cleanup almost around the clock since UMM officials and the Morris Fire Department received a page at 2:27 p.m. Wednesday that a sprinkler pipe had ruptured.
The offices, seminar rooms and classrooms on the south end of the building were most affected by the flooding.
The building's Cow Palace lecture hall and a larger computer lab on the north end of the building were not immediately affected by the flooding. A second computer lab was flooded, but students and staff were able to remove computers before they were damaged.
At least seven faculty offices, however, were severely flooded, as were at least two seminar rooms and a conference room on the third floor on the building's south end. Another seminar room on the second floor also was flooded, Aronson said.
Cheryl Contant, UMM's Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Dean, is working on possible relocation plans if needed, but so far most of the faculty affected by the flooding have found other work space in the building or are working from home, Aronson said.
UMM staff vacuumed up the standing water on Wednesday, then got blowers and dehumidifiers running. Some carpeting and rubber backing has been removed in an attempt to dry wall board, Aronson said.
Dale Livingston and UMM's Environmental Health Department are monitoring the moisture, mold and mildew, Aronson said.
The university's insurance carrier has been notified, the company that installed the sprinkler system will be repairing the pipe, and insulation installers also will evaluating damage.
Imholte Hall has 18 faculty offices on three floors -- most of them are on the third floor -- as well as lab space, seminar rooms and classrooms, Aronson said.
Imholte Hall was formerly the Social Sciences Building and was renamed to honor former UMM Chancellor John Q. Imholte in 2005.
Imholte Hall was built in 1920, and an addition was constructed in 1949. In 2006, a renovation of the building was completed.
UMM officials will be working on damage estimates, but the progress has been significant, Aronson said.
"It's an amazing difference in less than 24 hours," he said.

Brandt Snedeker hits a tee shot on the eighth hole at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on February 8, 2013
Ted Potter opened with an eagle on his way to firing a three-under par 67 to share the lead with Brandt Snedeker after the second round of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Snedeker, a runner-up the past two weeks, and Potter stood on eight-under 134 after 36 holes at the $6.5 million US PGA event, which is played over three different northern California courses near the Pacific Ocean.
Potter, a 29-year-old American who won his first PGA title last year at the Greenbrier Classic, fired a five-under 67 on Thursday at par-72 Pebble Beach and then backed it up with a solid round Friday at the par-70 Monterrey Peninsula Shore course.
Starting on the back nine, Potter eagled the par-5 10th hole but took back-to-back bogeys at the 14th and 15th.
He answered with two sets of back-to-back birdies, the first brace at the second and third and the other at the par-5 sixth and par-3 seventh. He closed with a bogey at nine.
Snedeker opened with a 66 at the Shore on Thursday and followed with a bogey-free 4-under 68 on Friday at par-72 Spyglass Hill.
Also starting on the 10th tee, Snedeker birdied the par-3 12th and par-5 14th then added back-to-back birdies at the par-5 seventh and par-4 eighth.
"I didn't make a lot of putts today but look forward to going into the weekend, confidence is very high, and after last week, feel like my game is where I want it to be and two good days to go, should be a lot of fun," Snedeker said.
Snedeker's two runner-up finishes in the past two weeks came behind Tiger Woods at Torrey Pines and Phil Mickelson at the Phoenix Open.
"I take nothing but positives away from the way I've played the weekend the last couple events," Snedeker said. "That's how you win out here -- you keep putting yourself in position, and the more times you do that the more success you're going to have."
Snedeker was due to play Pebble Beach on Saturday, the same course where the tournament will conclude on Sunday. He said playing back-to-back rounds at the same course will benefit him.
"The greens, we'll know how they are bouncing," Snedeker said. "Every day it's been different, because Monterey Peninsula, you play it early in the week and it was different yesterday than I remember playing it.
"Spyglass I played earlier in the week and it was super-firm and today it was softer.
"So I think playing Pebble (in) back-to-back days is definitely an advantage."
A quartet of players were at 7-under. John Merrick posted a 67 at the Shore, where Hunger Mahan carded a 69.
Sweden's Fredrik Jacobsen got to 7-under with a superb six-under 66 at Pebble Beach. He teed off on 10 and his seven birdies included four in a row from 15-18. Patrick Reed posted a 69 at Pebble Beach that included three birdies without a bogey.
