Frequently Asked Questions
What is doggie daycamp?
Doggie Daycamp at Texas Doghouse is an environment where dogs are dropped off for the day to play for up to 12 hours with other dogs in a fun, well supervised, and safe environment. You can find more information on the benefits of doggie daycare in our Daycamp section.
What do the dogs do all day in daycamp?
The dogs will have fun running, romping, wrestling, and splashing in our doggie pools...whatever they want to do, it's up to them. They will have access to our indoor/outdoor play areas all day or they can take a nap if they get tired. They are separated by size and temperament. They will also take a short afternoon nap each day. They have access to fresh filtered water all day as well.
Why are your prices higher than I'm used to paying at a traditional kennel?
Well, really they're not. We just give you the price up front, because we know you don't like surprises at the time of check out, so the price you see is the price you will pay free from hidden fees described above.
Daycamp is included in our Boarding rate. We could never imagine charging our valued customers for such things as medication administration, extra play time, extra walks or additional cuddle time. These are just a few duties of our daily routine that make our job the greatest in the world! Boarding kennels vary, but in a "traditional" boarding kennel, your dog is usually left in a cage or dog run for most of the day. They might be let out for a short time or placed in an outdoor run a couple of times a day. Depending on the kennel, your dog may or may not have access to air conditioning. The dogs usually do not interact with other dogs. Some boarding kennels will offer 15 minute cuddle sessions with a staff member, a short time of group play or a brief walk for an extra charge...and these charges add up fast! A lot of them charge for things like using the House Food and administering medications as well. Compared to a traditional boarding kennel, we provide a social environment for your dog. Texas Doghouse offers all day play for no additional cost and we never charge for things like using our food or administering medication. And best of all, your pup gets to play in Daycamp all day, every day that they are here.
In our opinion, a cuddle session with your pup is a privilege and something that we could never put a price on!
Is there a discount for multiple dogs?
Yes. Please see our "rates" page for more information.
Why do you require that my dog be spayed or neutered?
The main reason is that un-altered dogs are at a greater risk of injury from other dogs. In a social environment, un-altered males are often viewed as threats by other dominant dogs. Un-altered females, whether in heat or not, may be picked on by other female dogs and male dogs will view her as an un-altered female and treat her accordingly. Surging hormones from un-altered dogs may overly excite other doggie guests & contribute to aggressive play, excessive mounting, snapping and other "growly" behaviors. We will make exceptions for the age limit of being spayed/neutered for giant breeds only, on a case by case basis.
How do you keep the facility clean with all the dogs coming in and out?
Texas Doghouse is cleaned and disinfected thoroughly at nap time and every night with a cleaner and disinfectant specially formulated with your pup in mind. Our cleaning products are eco-friendly and will not harm your pup or the environment in any way. In fact, our cleaner has actually been used to bathe and treat dogs with mange. We also clean frequently throughout the day. Spot cleaning is done with the same cleaner to instantly sanitize the area.
Does your outside area have grass?
No. Grass would soon turn to mud with all the dogs we have here playing on it. We have a special filtration system created with your pup in mind. It consists of 4 inches of sand at the bottom and 6 inches of gravel on top for ease of cleaning and the safety of your pup. Under the sand is a special drainage system that allows us to hose the area down with our environmentally friendly cleaner as often as needed. Even though your dog is used to eliminating on grass, dogs are pretty adaptable and figure out that this is the place that they are supposed to go. And best of all, they'll go home clean and free from dirt.
Can I come take a tour of your facility?
Yes. We understand that a lot of people prefer to see where their dog will be staying and we understand...we've been customers before too. However, introducing a new and unknown stimulus (i.e. you) to the group is very stressful on the dogs. In an effort to keep the dogs as comfortable as possible, we ask that you come during our preferred times and we welcome tours of the play areas Monday-Friday only. No appointment is necessary, just come on by. Please keep in mind that our lobby is closed between 11am-4pm Monday-Friday.
Preferred Times:
Monday-Friday 9am-11am or 4pm-7pm
Since the dogs are in large roaming groups, we do have policies that MUST be followed and will go over them when you arrive. For the sake of the dogs in our care, we cannot allow tours on weekends or holidays. Thank you for understanding.
Is there a specific kind of collar my dog must wear?
Yes. TEXAS DOGHOUSE requires that all dogs wear a quick release collar (basic collar with plastic snap) with an ID tag including your name and phone number.
When can I drop my dog off and pick him up?
7am-11am & 4pm-7pm*
8am-9am & 5pm-6pm*
Closed for drop off/pick up
*All dogs checking out from boarding after 11am will incur an additional doggie daycare charge of $15 for each camper.
TEXAS DOGHOUSE reserves the right to board your dog and charge the going nightly rate for pick ups after closing times and you may pick up the following day. ALL daycamp/boarding pick ups approved after 7pm on weekdays and 6pm on holidays and weekends will be charged for a full night of boarding.
What holidays are you closed on?
We are closed for boarding drop off/pick up and Daycamp on all major holidays listed below:
We are open from 8am-9am & 5pm-6pm on all days listed below:
In the event that one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, we will be operating on limited hours the following Monday.
We still come in twice (morning for 3 hours and evening for 3 hours) to take care of our Boarders and allow them to play, but we will have a limited amount of staff and are not open for regular business.
What is your cancellation policy?
BOARDING: We require notification of a boarding reservation cancellation at least 24 hours prior to the boarding stay. We will charge an amount up to a 1 night's stay, if notification is not received within this timeframe. We may require a credit card to be on file with us at the time a boarding reservation is made to uphold this policy.
HOLIDAY POLICY: Holiday reservations require a 3 night minimum and a $50 non-refundable deposit per dog (will be applied to bill at checkout) and notification of a boarding reservation cancellation at least 7 days prior to the boarding arrival date. If notification is not received within this timeframe, your deposit will be forfeited. We may require a credit card to be on file with us at the time a boarding reservation is made to uphold this policy. Half of the payment for your pup's stay may be required upon checkin.
DAYCAMP: Cancellations for daycamp must be made by 8am the day of arrival, otherwise the camper will be charged the going rate for that day for each dog or a day will be taken from their prepaid pass. A credit card may be required to be on file to uphold this policy.
What are the requirements to come to Texas Doghouse?
We require an interview prior to the first visit, which you will be able to schedule below. There is no charge for this. During the interview we will screen your dog for shyness, aggression, proper social skills, food aggression and make sure they are happy at our place. If you have not already scheduled your dog's interview, you can do so by clicking here or giving us a call at 281-259-8672.
WHAT TO EXPECT: For the interview, you will drop your dog off for a day of play between 7am-9am. When you first arrive, we will get your dog's vaccination information and then someone will come and take your pup to the back. We will slowly introduce them to the group to make sure they are a good fit for our doggie daycare. If everything goes well, you can pick your dog up anytime between 4pm-7pm. If your dog does not do well, we will call and let you know and you can come get your pup at that time. We always have the safety of your dog and all the dogs in our care as our highest priority.
Typical reasons dogs do not pass the interview are:
Texas Doghouse reserves the right refuse services at any time based on dog's temperament or health.
We recommend bringing the following items to make your dog's visit as comfortable as possible:
FOOD: You are welcome to bring your own food and treats for your dogs stay, however we do ask that you bring all food in individual zipper bags pre-measured for each meal to ensure that we give them the proper measurement and that they have enough food for their entire stay. Please put the same amount of food in each bag. If your dog gets a different amount for breakfast and dinner, please DO NOT bring zipper bags; we can measure it out for you. Just bring the food in an airtight container or in one large zipper bag. We are also happy to administer our high quality house food at no additional cost to you (if your dog has a sensitive stomach, this is not a good option). We will feed based on your instructions and can handle most special needs: refrigerated or micro-waved meals, special mixing or additions, just let us know. Remember, dogs are much more active than usual when they stay with us, so, you may want to consider feeding at least two times per day and slightly increasing your pup's normal portion.
BEDDING/TOYS/TREATS: You are welcome to bring your dogs bedding, toys and treats...or something that smells like home, but please limit it to 3 items. We do ask that all bedding be FULLY washable in hot water and able to fit into a regular size washing machine. No oversized beds, comforters, quilts or sleeping bags please. Although we will do our best to ensure that belongings are not lost, we cannot be held responsible for any items left with your dog.
MEDICATION: We can administer any oral or topical medication on any needed schedule. We cannot administer injections. All medications/supplements must be in original packaging with only enough medication for your pup's stay. All medication should come with clear written instructions, including the reason for administration. A small amount of our treat will be administered with each medication, unless otherwise instructed by the owner.

Unconventional TV chef Keith Floyd. Photograph: Victor Watts/Rex Features
Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course, currently being served up by Channel 4 at the slightly odd time of 5pm on weekdays, is a timely reminder that before Ramsay started swearing at people for a living he was actually a pretty good TV chef. At the height of his powers he was among the best on the box; spicing up the sometimes sterile atmosphere of small-screen kitchens with his brash style and appealing recipes.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"Perhaps it should be "engage in PvP combat, capture or defend a tower/GY/etc" instead?"
But how does the game know you are defending?
Tonight I'm going to get some friends and go in AV and start reporting poeple that are at Drek. With no horde showing up, it will get the spark to find a real solution to this problem, and not put it in the hands of the noobs in the game we play with everyday that will report you just because you spelled "the" wrong.
Seriously, what were they thinking in making this a "for the people" issue.
I got in an AV last night and hit "report" on everyone's name within the first 2 minutes of play. What if 5 more people do that?
You won't get any honor for Galv's Lt's, the tower, or IB gy's round up, if you never see a horde to fight.
Do you understand how easy that is? I go 8/10 games where I don't play a horde at all in the game, but I'm with the group the whole time.
Hopefully I'm wrong and NPC's counts as unflagging you.

You do realise Paragon and other like-minded guilds are NOT being forced to use this feature right? They can just not look, y'know?
Oh, and also, in the Dreamhack Paragon Live Raid, the Paragon guy co-commentating was saying that their aim as a guild, and what they all generally found most enjoyable, was getting bosses down as fast as possible to get as much loot as they could in as little game time as they could. So I'd think something like this would be GOOD for such a guild.

When the Dog Dies, Series 3 Episode 2 of 6
Ronnie Corbett returns for a third series of his popular sitcom by Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent.
Ronnie plays Sandy Hopper, who is growing old happily along with his dog Henry. His grown up children - both married to people Sandy doesn't approve of at all - would like him to move out of the family home so they can get their hands on the money earlier. But Sandy's not having it. He's not moving until the dog dies. And not just that, how can he move if he's got a lodger? His daughter is convinced that his too attractive lodger Dolores is also after Sandy and his money.
Luckily, Sandy has three grandchildren and, sometimes, a friendly word or a kindly hand on the shoulder can really help a Granddad in the twenty-first century. Man and dog together face a complicated world. And there's every chance they'll make it more so.
Episode Two - Auntie's Ashes
Sandy has a solemn duty to perform, but the spot which Auntie chose for her last resting place is not what is was. Neither, for that matter, is her widowed husband Uncle Arthur!
Sandy...........................Ronnie Corbett
Dolores..........................Liza Tarbuck
Blake.............................Jonathan Aris

On My Bookshelf
Published on Thursday, October 28, 2010 - 2:34pm
If you've ever participated in a book club discussion with me, or if you've stopped at any time just to chat about books, then you likely already know that my favorite stories are those that focus on some aspect of the human condition—be that aspect something that mankind usually celebrates, like a wedding; or something sad, like the passing of a loved one. I look at it this way: for the most part, the things that we'll all experience in life have already been captured in some gem that exists out there in the literary world, so why not take advantage of those gems and read about them?
You should also know that when I start a new book, my greatest hope for that work is that it can open up my mind to some aspect of life that I'd never considered before, or—if it's something really outrageous—that I couldn't have imagined even in my wildest dreams. Such is the case with Brick Lane, an awesome read by British author Monica Ali.
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2003, this gem shares the experiences of Nazneen, a young Bangladeshi woman who moves to London in order to marry Chanu—a much older man who, while a very loving and well-read man, leaves much to be desired in Nazneen's eyes. Nazneen interacts with a host of other characters, including her own young daughters and a beloved sister that, due to circumstances beyond her control, has to communicate her love and admiration to Nazneen from thousands of miles away.
I greatly appreciate the novel if for no other reason than its discussion of fate, and whether fate is something that we can alter versus something that is thrust upon us, whether we like it or not. The fact that Ali approaches the topic with such grace, while keeping the text grounded in Nazneen's day-to-day dealings (without getting too philosophical, as some reads do) is astounding. I highly recommend it, especially for those of you that like a little emotional drama thrown into the mix—which Ali certainly does before the novel ends. If you really like the title, then you can also check out the 2007 film of the same name, directed by Sarah Gavron and starring Tannishtha Chatterjee as Nazneen and Satish Kaushik as Chanu.
Be sure to stop in and let me know what you think! Oh, and if you like this, you'll also love The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri.)
'Til next month!

Is a Criminal Lawyer the Same as a Defense Attorney?
When you need the services of a lawyer, it is important that you hire the right one, someone who has experience with the issue you face. That is especially important when you are facing criminal charges. Your first thought may be to find a defense attorney. That is a valid thought, but it is only partly correct. What you need is a criminal defense attorney. While they can be the same thing, a defense attorney is not always a criminal lawyer.
What Criminal Lawyers Do
Criminal lawyers, as the name suggests, represent people in criminal matters. They specialize in criminal law and often defend people accused of crimes. They may also handle other matters associated with, but not directly related to, defending a person from charges, such as:
- Bail reduction
- Appeals
- Parole or probation violations
- Expungement hearings (getting your criminal record cleared)
It is important to also remember that just because a lawyer is a criminal defense attorney does not mean he or she is qualified to take your case. Criminal law covers many different crimes, including:
- Assault
- Battery
- Burglary
- Homicide
- Identity theft
- Theft
- Weapons
- White collar crime
Many criminal lawyers will specialize in one or a few of these areas. When you need a lawyer to defend you, make sure the crime you have been accused of matches the lawyer's experience.
What Defense Attorneys Do
Defense attorneys represent defendants in civil or criminal cases, depending on their specialty. If their specialty is criminal law, they are criminal defense attorneys. There are plenty of other specialties that a defense attorney may also practice. Sometimes non-criminal defense lawyers are also called trial lawyers or civil defense attorneys.
Examples of the types of things a defense lawyer may handle in a civil court include:
- Representing insurance company interests in a claim
- Lawsuits between individuals
- Occupational professional licensing defense
- Medical malpractice
- Labor and employment matters
- Products liability
- Construction law
- Local government law
The legal field is huge, and it is impossible to know every aspect of the law. That is why attorneys specialize. Some areas do overlap, but for the most part, each legal area has its own intricacies. It is important for defendants to understand this and seek out the right type of lawyer.

Lillie's table at Portland Zine Symposium! Don't forget to bring your heroic youth (8-12) to our FREE zine workshop tomorrow at 11am-noon!
Lillie's table at Portland Zine Symposium! Don't forget to bring your heroic youth (8-12) to our FREE zine workshop tomorrow at 11am-noon!
Lillie is leading a FREE mini "Land of Heroes" workshop at this year's Portland Zine Symposium on Sunday, August 11th from 11am-noon!
Humans between the ages of 8 and 12 will make zines featuring THEM as heroes!
Art and writing exercises will answer the questions:
What is a hero?
How are heroes born?
Do heroes exist today?
What makes me a hero?
Books of Inuit, Native American, African American, Greek, etc. mythology will be available for reference.
So pumped!!!
Yesterday Lillie's husband Asher and hound Edie walked her to the train, which she took to the Red Cross, where she got certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED…
creative writing can be dangerous business, but rest assured your kids are safe with The Sampo School!
Here's a sneak peek of our amazing new logo by Portland comics artist Asher Craw!
Here's the IPRC link to sign up for our inaugural workshop!
Sampo School founder Lillie spent over an hour in the Beverly Cleary room at the Multnomah County Public Library picking out hero stories about young women from around the world.
They will be featured in the upcoming "Portland: Land of Heroes" at the end of August.
If you have a heroic female-identified girl in your life (age 9-12), be sure to sign her up before space runs out!
We are starting small in a big way!
Before we can train young writers to become working professionals, we must first engage Portland youth in creation (rather than consumption) culture through the magic of the written word.

The current Jeep Grand Cherokee has been met with critical acclaim since its introduction as a 2011 model. In addition to excellent off-road performance, the Grand Cherokee delivers a civilized ride on pavement and a stylish, well-equipped interior. Reviewers note that while several other midsize SUVs cannot come close to matching the Jeep's off-road capabilities, they may have the advantage in terms of overall passenger and cargo space.
The standard Grand Cherokee is offered in two- or four-wheel-drive configurations, with a standard 290-horsepower 3.6-liter V6. A 5.7-liter V8 engine is optional, and allows for a max tow capacity of 7,400 pounds. The 6-cylinder engine is paired with a five-speed automatic, while the V8 gets a six-speed.
A special high-performance model is also offered: The Grand Cherokee SRT8 gets full-time all-wheel drive (it's designed for on-road use) and a 6.4-liter, 470-horsepower V8 paired with a five-speed automatic.
Alternatives to the Jeep that offer similar off-road capability and general utility include the 2012 Toyota 4Runner (Base MSRP: $31,090 to $40,630) and the more upmarket 2012 Land Rover LR4 (Base MSRP: $48,900).
EPA Fuel Economy Estimates
V6 2WD: 17 mpg city / 23 highway /19 combined
V6 4WD: 16 city / 23 hwy / 19 combined
V8 2WD: 14 city / 20 hwy / 16 combined
V8 4WD: 13 city / 20 hwy / 15 combined
V8 SRT: 12 city / 18 hwy / 14 combined
V6 estimates assume use of regular-grade gasoline. V8 estimates (excluding SRT8) assume use of midgrade gasoline. Grand Cherokee SRT8 estimates assume use of premium gasoline. Note also that the V6 engine is flex-fuel capable and can be fueled with E85 Ethanol. EPA estimates 14 mpg combined for the V6 on E85.

The Japan Society Michinoku Scholarship, managed by AFS Intercultural Programs Japan, recently selected five outstanding high school students from Tohoku who will study in the US for one academic year.
The students spoke of their wish to "work at the United Nations" and "learn more about the world and Japan" during the award ceremony.
During the scholarship application process, one student said:
"After watching the video of the disaster area on the news, my will to work internationally for an organization like the United Nations or UNICEF grew even stronger. I want to do work that creates a world where everyone can live in peace and extend a helping hand to people affected by conflicts, famines, earthquakes, and tsunami."

NEW YORK (WTAQ) - Former Milwaukee Catholic Archbishop Tim Dolan will be elevated to a cardinal next month.
He was among 22 new cardinals named this morning by Pope Benedict. They'll be elevated in a Vatican ceremony on February 18th.
Dolan was the archbishop in 10 southeast Wisconsin counties from 2002 until early 2009, when he became the Archbishop of New York.
Dolan said he was "honored, humbled, and grateful" to be chosen as a cardinal. But he said the promotion was not about himself as it was about, "an affirmation of love from the Pope to a celebrated archdiocese and community."
18 of the new cardinals, including Dolan, are under the age of 80 – and that means they'll be part of a secret conclave to elect a new pope after Benedict dies.
About 120 cardinals now serve as papal electors.

Wednesday night, the St. Louis Blues travelled to Orlando to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning for the second time in as many days. Back to back games are always tough — teams must overcome jet lag and fatigue to succeed. The Blues had no problem overcoming both, triumphing over Tampa Bay 4-3 with a late third period goal.
After Matthias Ohlund was tossed from the game for an illegal hit, Nik Nikitin started off the scoring for St. Louis on the ensuing power play. Marc-Andre Bergeron responded at the beginning of the second period, tying the game. Ian Cole put the Blues up by one heading into the third period. The third turned into a goal scoring affair—the teams alternated goals with the upper hand going to St. Louis. Late in the third, Adam Cracknell netted his first goal of the preseason to give the Blues the edge.
The Blues' MVP of the game was, unquestionably, Chris Stewart. Stewart ended the game with three points—a goal and two assists—to aid in the Blues' victory. Stewart was on the ice during power plays, even strength, and penalty kills, proving how valuable he is to the organization. Heading into this season, the Blues' front office has high expectations for Stewart. If he plays the way he is capable of playing—the way he played after being acquired by the Blues—the Blues' top 6 will be highly effective this season.
Ben Bishop got the nod in goal for the Blues. Though he gave up more goals than Elliot did to the Lightning, he was facing a much stronger Tampa team. The goalie battle will rage throughout the preseason as both Bishop and Elliot fight for the backup job behind Jaroslav Halak. Given a few more performances, a clear winner should emerge to start the season with the team October 8.
The Blues return home to Scottrade Center Thursday night to battle Minnesota. The Blues then go on a three game road trip, returning home Thursday, Sept. 29, to battle Erik Johnson and the Colorado Avalanche.

Product Details
New Basel 2014 Release!
We've known about this watch for some time as Sinn has been developing the new Sinn EZM 13 over the last few years. And although it's been a struggle to keep our mouths shut, we are now pleased that we can finally share the news.
And the press loved this watch at the 2014 Baselworld showing.
This watch gets its DNA from the hugely popular Sinn EZM 3 but adds a chronograph function using Sinn's SZ02 calibre.
The design similarities are quite clear when viewing the hands, dial, markers and diver's bezel.
The Sinn EZM 13 features a 41.5 mm bead blasted case in 316 L stainless steel with left mounted controls.
The Sinn EZM 13 is the all-new diving chronograph from Sinn, and features the in-house modified SZ02 movement with 60-minute register.
With 500 meters of water resistance, the Sinn EZM 13 has been tested to European diving equipment standards and certified by DNV GL, and is Mission Timer certified for optimal readability and use with crown and chronograph pushers relocated to the left side of the case.
When we spoke to Sinn's CEO Lothar Schmidt he indicated that this chronograph had been engineered to allow the use of the chronograph pushers underwater.
EZM Design - EZM 13
Sinn is known for their professional special forces watches, called the Einsatzzeitmesser (EZM - in English "Mission Timer") series. Sinn has long been a supplier of watches to various divisions of the German special forces, including the GSG-9, border protection, customs, military and special police divisions. Designing watches for these units carries a number of requirements, including resistance to shocks, water, magnetism and temperature changes among others.
There is also a functional requirement in that the watch must be highly legible and the controls must be both accessible and easy to use in extreme environments. This watch takes its place in the Mission Timer Series as the new Sinn EZM 13, and you'll notice that the crown and pushers have been relocated to the left side of the case as is typical for EZM watches.
Summary of Technologies
Water resistant to 500 meters - certified by DNV-GL
Sinn D3 crown and pusher systems
Calibre SZ02 with redesigned 60 minute register
Magnetic Field Protection to 80,000 A/m
Copper sulphate capsule to absorb moisture and humidity
Inert gasses used to promote a dry and stable environment
Bezel is screwed to the case using an exclusive Sinn design
Built to the standards of the German special forces - EZM 13
Double coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal
Sinn SZ-02 Calibre
What's inside this watch also shows how Sinn engineers watches. The Sinn modified SZ02 calibre consists of a redesigned minute register which actually counts 60 minutes rather than the typical 30. This register has been enlarged and is placed at the 6 position.
Magnetic Field Protection
This case offers magnetic field protection of up to 80,000 A/m, among the highest for any mechanical watch. Magnetism can cause dramatic swings in the timekeeping of a mechanical watch movement. People are often exposed to magnetic fields without even knowing so frequent high altitude flying, metal detectors, audio and video equipment, medical equipment and computer equipment to name a few.
Dehumidfication Technology
Mechanical watches require oils to ensure proper operation, and the proper care of any mechanical watch movement mandates that these oils maintain both their viscosity and lubrication properties.
Sinn has found that filling the case with inert gas can help prevent the introduction of moisture and humidity to the case, as well as provide a more stable environment for the oils that lubricate the movement. This inert gas mixture, signified by the Ar symbol on the dial, is used to fill the watch case prior to being sealed. This will prevent air from entering the watch case, which will promote a dry and stable environment, but also prevents the dial and crystal from fogging.
The second aspect of this technology is a dehumidifying copper sulfate capsule that absorbs unavoidable diffused atmospheric moisture within the watch, thus slowing down the aging process of the movement inside. A second advantage is that any condensation that were to develop does not appear underneath the crystal, even in very humid weather conditions. The dehumidifying capsule turns various shades of blue according to its degree of saturation, displayed through a small sapphire crystal window.
Other Features
Screw-down crown. Crown and chronograph pushers are sealed and protected by a specific material used in chemical vacuum technology.
Matte finish stainless steel case with solid case back. Sapphire crystal with luminous hands and hour markers. Watch is water resistant to 500 meters and is suitable for diving.
We welcome the new Sinn EZM 13 to Sinn's collection of Mission Timers. We know that this watch will be in high demand for some time, just as the Sinn EZM 3 continues to be one of the most popular Sinn watches more than a decade after its initial introduction.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Hawks have reportedly agreed to terms with free agent forward Paul Millsap.
According to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the 6-foot-8 power forward will ink a two-year deal worth $19 million when contracts can officially be signed on July 10.
Millsap had spent his first seven seasons in Utah, where he averaged 12.4 points and 7.0 rebounds over 540 games.
The 28-year-old Louisiana native started 78 games for the Jazz last season and posted averages of 14.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest.
Atlanta has also agreed to terms with forward DeMarre Carroll on a two-year, $5 million deal, according to the report.
Carroll was a teammate of Millsap in Utah last season and averaged 6.0 points and 2.8 rebounds while playing in 66 games, including 12 starts.

Fell's Point has plenty of places to get a drink or two—or seven if that's really what you want—but it has fewer pubs where folks from the hood can come in for a beer, a little comfort food, and go home without the risk of a hangover.
Brad Kirkley, manager of Bradley's, a gastro pub at 1703 Aliceanna St. in the heart of Fell's Point, wants his namesake pub to be that place.
Kirkley stresses that Bradley's, which opened Nov. 16, has absolutely nothing in common with its legendary predecessor—J.A. Murphy's Tavern, of "Bar Rescue" reality-TV and binge-drinking infamy.
That was a "shot and beer bong bar that closed within a month of the broadcast," notes Kirkley, although he happily concedes that "Bar Rescue" did leave behind a nice parting gift: "the Cadillac of tap systems."
Sandy Hinsche, Bradley's owner, says despite Murphy's hard-drinking rep, she was attracted to the vacant space on Aliceanna St. immediately.
"I wanted a warm, friendly place where people would feel welcome. This was it. Of course, we renovated extensively," says Hinsche, who put in a new kitchen and bathroom, among other upgrades.
The re-do also includes a 24-seat dining room and a heated back patio.
"People who live here are glad to have a family-friendly couples' bar in the neighborhood," she says.
The transformation couldn't be more complete.
Bradley's regular menu is small and still evolving, but executive chef John Bove—formerly a sous chef at Bond Street Social—is solid on the pub mainstays: Sicilian meatballs ($9 for an appetizer portion), burgers($9.75), or crab cake sliders ($14).
Bove's most compelling dishes, however, are his dinner specials—such as banger sliders, served with caramelized onions and hot pepper jelly; or herb gnocchi with zucchini and marinara. These aren't on the gastro pub menu—although maybe they should be. The bar also serves brunch on weekends.
What most distinguishes Bradley's at this point is its focus on establishing itself as a neighborhood pub. Tuesday night, for example, is movie night at Bradley's.
The bar votes on which film to watch—"Lethal Weapon" or "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? Everyone gets free snacks, and sometimes there's a double feature.
The pub also has an inventive cocktail menu. Take homemade Wild Turkey 101 eggnog—Hinsche says it takes three days to make. They serve the super-thick nog either up, as a float with cider or root beer, or with a bourbon back.
Who knew eggnog needed a chaser?

'What time is it in the show?'
18 June 2011
'What time is it in the show?'
Los Angeles. Show 2.
Everybody's gone mad. I'd been at the point of thinking that, once we've got Glastonbury behind us, I'd propose to the band that for the remaining dozen or so shows we might pretty much 'freeze' the show, give or take. Perhaps the odd spontaneous whimsy, if the mood took us, but essentially to go with this 'final' show structure so that everyone can settle in and we can make a point of really making this last run a lot of fun. Well, that notion firmly hit the wall this afternoon and, to cut a long story short, by 4pm the set list as we knew it lay in tatters.
Radical changes create a good deal of work, largely because of the new segues that this creates. I have an aversion to creating a show where each song is a discrete element between which the stage just goes to silent blackness. Regular viewers well know that the connections between the songs in a U2 show are often as integral to the whole as the songs themselves. Consequently, even if the songs themselves don't change at all, we have to find new ways of connecting them and, at short notice, this can be fraught with danger.
All of this wouldn't have been quite such a big deal were it not for the fact that I have had this afternoon booked in the diary for several weeks to accomplish a different task. Necessarily, the Glastonbury show will feature an amount of video material that is not in the 360 show. Much of this is launched from ProTools triggers, all of which have to be programmed, so I had set aside today for that task. To do this we need the show system but we also need a quiet environment, otherwise we can't fine-tune the cue points. There's so much to be accomplished of an afternoon in a stadium (P.A. to be rung out, line-checks to be done and a seemingly infinite number of guitars to be strung and thrashed) that time always seems to be at a premium and quiet time is a thing of fantasy. However, through a combination of diplomacy and sulking, I eked out just one hour and now we had not only to programme Glastonbury but also to try to figure out (and programme) how the bloody hell we could seamlessly get from A to B in the brave new world of tonight's exploded set list. Don't get me wrong, I love all this but there are more productive places to work than in the blazing sun in a baseball stadium with a hundred people enquiring just how much longer you need. We were nearly done and I was feeling pretty confident about it all when a voice came on the radio enquiring, "So, that version of Mysterious Ways that was just programmed… was that for tonight or was that for Glastonbury?" Fingers crossed, then.
The band arrived and we confirmed the night's plan, at which point it became clear to me what this was really all about. Their great fear, as a creative entity, is complacency. That of settling down into a routine and getting lazy, of going through the motions, so when that feeling begins to surface their communal instinct is to jam their fingers into a plug socket and get a bit of creative ECT. Tonight this paid off in shed-fulls as their energy level was way up, not to mention that they were clearly having a great time.
After opening with five songs from Achtung Baby and segueing into Streets, the show did eventually make it's way back to known territory for Zooropa and all the big screen moves that follow. The first half hour or so was deliciously disorientating for us regulars, as I had absolutely no sense of where we were in the show and of course when we got to the encores, it turns out we'd already played them. I had a fan-Twitter feed going at front of house so we could enjoy watching the fans take on the evening; great excitement and many funny comments. The feeling of dials spinning could not be more perfect for this point of the tour where I'm so messed up anyway. Never mind "What time is it in the world?" I was even struggling to answer the question "What time is it in the show?"

Sandy • The initial mood was frustration and disappointment.
The moments after Real Salt Lake's 1-0 loss against the L.A. Galaxy in the first leg of the Western Conference semifinal Sunday night in Carson, Calif., encompassed those typical following a loss. But once reality set in, RSL coach Jason Kreis said his players registered that they sit in a fairly favorable position despite struggling for much of the match.
L.A. Galaxy at Real Salt Lake7 p.m. Thursday
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"I think once they took a breath away from that and realized we're only one goal down," Kreis said, "I think we all have to feel pretty good about it."
Now comes time to hit the reset button.
RSL couldn't find the appropriate passing lanes against a Galaxy team that swarmed the midfield in the first leg, which allowed L.A. to continually counter with so many threatening chances.
Kreis said it had nothing to do with the pressure put on by the Galaxy — "It's due to us," he said, adding that it's an issue that can be fixed in the four days leading up to the second leg of the semifinals Thursday at Rio Tinto Stadium.
"I think that we've got experienced enough guys, we've got talented enough guys, we've got good enough players and a strong enough team concept that I believe we can improve drastically," Kreis said.
If RSL can find its equalizer, it will need to rediscover its possession-based touch, a concentration captain Kyle Beckerman said was lacking a bit Sunday night at the StubHub Center.
"We've just got to stay focused a bit more," Beckerman said on a conference call with the media. "When it comes down to [possession], if the passing isn't there, the effort has to be there from every single one of us. You can try and focus more on passing, but if it doesn't happen, you've got to be willing to get in there and roll up the sleeves."
One player in particular who potentially may have to pitch in that work and renewed focus is midfielder Sebastian Velasquez, a second-half substitute Sunday. Velasquez replaced veteran Ned Grabavoy, who left the match with a left hamstring injury. Kreis said Tuesday that Grabavoy remains questionable for Thursday night's second leg.
"At the end of the day, we still lost, but I think in a way, the score line kind of gives us an urgency that we have to win," Velasquez said, "and I think it's actually going to favor us because I feel like when we come out with a lot of urgency, we play to the best of our abilities. I think we'll pull it off."

Current Research Projects and Interests
Exploring the Factors Affecting Pulmonary Toxicity and Other Occupational Risks Associated with Nanomaterials
Given the unique properties of nanomaterials (engineered particles smaller than 100 nanometers) in which they can act both unlike bulk solids and also unlike chemical solutions, it is possible that new risks to human health or the environment may arise from a nano-version of a material we already know. Since we do not have the same wealth of experience with these materials as we do with other potential chemical pollutants, there is not yet agreement on which specific measurements or attributes of the nanomaterials will be necessary to predict risk.
This work has focused on a meta-analysis of in vivo pulmonary exposure experiments with machine learning models known as Regression Trees (RT) and Random Forests (RF) that can effectively extract information from the sparse data set. The intent is to gain as much understanding from the accumulated data to date, creating mathematical models that can inform lower risk nanomaterial design, regulation policy, and occupational safety assessments.
▪ Journal article (Risk Analysis, 2013), author′s pdf, "How physical dimensions and impurities affect the pulmonary toxicity of carbon nanotubes"
- Published data set and model validation document (via nanoHUB.org)
▪ Conference paper (Proc. of Intl. Mech. Engr. Congress and Expo., 2013), author′s pdf, "Visualizing nano-characteristic interactions and pulmonary toxicity risks to inform the design of safer nanoparticles"
- Published machine learning models (via nanoHUB.org)
Continuing research in this area focuses on geometric-chemical interactions between nanoparticle properties and toxicity; the development of models for taking a variety of characteristics into account when setting occupational exposure limits for nanomaterials; and developing an understanding of the correspondence between the results of low-cost, high-throughput in vitro nanoparticle toxicity assays and high-cost low-throughput in vivo toxicity experiments.
The Use of Machine Learning Models and Surrogate Risk Data to Inform the Engineering Design Process
The engineering landscape is one of constant technological evolution and innovation. Meanwhile, the most serious risks like fatal workplace accidents, major oil spills, or critical system failures (e.g., wide area electricity blackouts) can be relatively or very rare. Traditional statistical analyses are not very useful in assessing rare events against constantly changing technology. This situation can leave design engineers without the quantitative guidance required to fully evaluate the tradeoffs between cost and the likelihood of serious failures.
Using automated learning algorithms coupled with the wealth of surrogate data compiled from test results, non-critical failures, and the performance of similar systems or feedback from distributed sensor networks may provide the knowledge necessary to improve engineering designs to reduce the likelihood and severity of possible risks resulting from hardware or software failure modes.
The Safety and Reliability of Complex Engineered Systems
Engineered systems were once relatively costly, self-contained mechanical or electrical units with well defined single functions, and a very limited set of physical inputs overseen by an individual worker. Predicting the maintenance requirements and safety hazards of such a system is relatively straightforward. Today, inexpensive devices are combined into complex networks, which are often repurposed after assembly and installation to serve new functions not envisioned during their design.
Predicting how component failures will impact the performance of such complex networked systems, or how emergent system functionality may fail without any specific sub-component failures is a task critical to understanding the risks posed by these technologies and their proposed uses, and a task that necessitates novel simulation techniques to fully explore possible scenarios that even the designers may not have imagined.
Previous Research
Design of a Methanol Microreformer for Portable Fuel Cells
As fluids pass through smaller and smaller channels Newtonian behavior and common assumptions like the no-slip condition begin to break down, since molecules start to act more like beads running through a pipe rather than a continuum of infinitely differentiable units. My work involved the computationally intensive optimization of a channel geometry operating in the transition range between microchannel flow dynamics and Newtonian flow dynamics. The result was the design of a small scale device to produce hydrogen gas from methanol sufficient to power a 1 Watt fuel cell.
▪ Journal article (Heat Transfer Engineering, 2009), author′s pdf, "Spiral methanol to hydrogen microreformer for fuel cell applications"
▪ US patent (No. 8,034,134; Oct 2011)
▪ MS Thesis (Rice University)
The Health and Safety Criticality of Microgravity Countermeasures Equipment
While in a microgravity environment, the human body adapts in ways that can be detrimental to health and safety upon return to Earth. These effects can be slowed and sometimes halted by the use of countermeasures, mostly specialized exercise equipment. However, NASA initially classified these countermeasures as non-critical equipment given their seemingly simple designs, ease of repair, and lack of immediate failure consequences. Experience in the early stages of the International Space Station (ISS) revealed that the non-critical designation adversely affected design for reliability, and that logistics supply issues often prevented timely resupply of spare parts contributing to a significant lack of system availability.
▪ Conference paper (Proc. of Intl. Mech. Engr. Congress and Expo., 2004), author′s pdf, "Mitigating crew health degradation during long-term exposure to microgravity through countermeasure system implementation"
Identifying Poor Reliability Parts from Logistics Warehouse Orders
Accurately tracking the usage rate of a widely dispersed fleet of equipment after the end of the warranty period can be difficult or impossible, yet understanding that usage rate is critical to parsing out reliability issues from high rates of otherwise normal consumption. As a Research Associate with the RAND Corporation, I investigated the potential to identify poor reliability parts from changes in trends of parts orders recorded by a centralized logistics warehouse database. These kinds of statistical tools can aid manufacturers in more quickly identifying and correcting emerging reliability or longevity problems regardless of the dependability of customer surveys or other performance tracking methodologies.
Other Research Interests
Agricultural Systems and Nutrition
By many measures agriculture is the most dominant impact of human civilization on the global environment. Yet, this system oversupplies easily digestible calories and undersupplies vegetables in the U.S., while undersupplying adequate nutrition in the developing world. With world population now over 7 billion and heading upwards of 9 billion by 2050 combined with the uncertainty of climate change effects, the management of agriculture will be critically important to future human health and security. A systems optimization approach to this problem may provide useful criteria with which to benchmark our progress in achieving stability in our food supply.
Effects of Engineering System Design on Public Health and Safety
The existence of building codes, workplace regulations, and the legislative mandates of safety features for automobiles and aircraft reveal the potential for benefit or harm engineering design can have on the health and safety of the general public. While regulatory agencies and liability law keep most organizations focused on meeting the letter of existing standards, this paradigm limits the amount of improvement engineers may be able to achieve. Research to increase engineering understanding of public health impacts of design, and increase public health researchers understanding of engineering design capabilities could accelerate improvements in public well being.
About Me
Originally from the Houston, Texas area, I earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University. Following two years in the U.S. Peace Corps as a Math and Physics teacher in Guinea, West Africa, I returned to Houston as a Safety and Reliability Engineer at NASA′s Johnson Space Center. There I analyzed the severity and likelihood of the risks of engineered systems contributing to improvements in the safety and reliability of the International Space Station crew health care equipment. I later continued these efforts with greater quantitative emphasis at Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems as a reliability engineer predicting failure rates of new equipment.
During my time in Houston, I earned a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rice University conducting research into micro-scale fluid and heat transfer, and designing a microchannel methanol-steam reformer. In 2013, I completed a PhD at Carnegie Mellon University in Engineering and Public Policy developing methods to enable early quantitative risk assessment of the inhaled toxicity of engineered nanomaterials. Now at Penn State University as an Assistant Professor of Industrial Health and Safety, I am developing a research program focusing on the occupational health, system safety, and reliability risks of new technologies, and improving assessment of risks within the engineering design process.

So, I have tried this on the PTR and it is instant cast. Definitely a buff for Enhancement in PvE and some needed AoE buff to Elemental in PvE. The Skill has lost its stun effect so a nerf to PvP Shaman to be certain. I will do some testing with it and see if/when it is viable to add to the rotation.
The stun was anything but useless, and got me out of a jam many a time. I don't care even if it is instant cast it is a nerf to PvP and it really pisses me off. Why do they constantly need to change mechanics when people are just trying to learn them. I am finally getting good at using all my totems in PvP and putting some good use to the Nova totem, and now it's worthless to me. Congrats to elementals, hope it really is worth what every other shaman in PvP has lost. I didn't feel like I needed a DPS buff as enhancement, so it's nothing worthwhile to me.

Wow, you're blog is gorgeous! Love the colouring and layout :). I love the majority of things you have put in your wish list ha ha. Those polishes in pictures 8 and 10 look amazing, never seen ones like that before! May have to find myself one of those :). Like I said, you have a lovely blog hun, am just enjoying having a read as I found your blog via a #bbloggers chat, have followed :). Keep in touch, Gem xReplyDelete
Awh thankyou so much, i love it when people take their time to write a really nice genuine message!:) And yes! I hadnt seen any nail polishes like that before either but then i went on etsy.com and there were literally tons of them! Not too pricey either!:) I think im following you on twitter? haha, drop me message if you get time, im just about to take a look at your blog :)Delete
