Danbury (AP) — An 85-year-old Danbury woman suffered a broken hip and cuts and bruises when police say she was pulled from her bed and assaulted in a home invasion.
The News-Times reports that the unidentified woman screamed loudly enough to draw the attention of neighbors who tried to intervene in the incident on Saturday.
Police say Donny Jackson was arrested after a 14-hour search and is held on $1 million bond. He was charged with home invasion, first-degree burglary, assault of an elderly person, first-degree robbery and other offenses.
Police say Jackson waved a gun at neighbors who tried to intervene and that he pulled the woman into the hallway and shoved her against the walls.
It was not known Monday morning if Jackson is represented by a lawyer.
What festival will you go to this weekend?
This holiday season, The Day and theday.com will print a list of the many ways to support local nonprofit agencies in their efforts to makes the lives of the residents of southeastern Connecticut a little better. Visit www.theday.com/waystogive to learn more.

If you have a stud in your line-up doesn't that make it a studly slot and if you don't have a stud in your line-up doesn't that make it a non-studly slot?I tried the strategy I used last year, which didn't work at all. But I still think it's a sound strategy: overspend on the uber studs, and then use super cheapo guys in some of the non-studly slots.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.

I went to sleep thinking I had a good team. But today I woke up with remorse because, in the end, this is baseball. And I bet more than a few hitters relished the thought of facing Samardzija last week, while few looked forward to hitting Grienke. But if you played the matchups last week you woulda lost because Jeff was the beast and Zack suct balls against the Cubs.
All that to say, I thought my strategy was sound. Even statistically-based. And now I'm convinced I wasted my time--any combination of players that get decent playing time and perform well today will win. Hell, the rain might be the biggest factor.

What will happen, is eventually your GSD will learn to avoid your other dog when it becomes frustrated. That will make him a moving target. OR your GSD will begin to challenge your other dog when he gets to that level of frustration. Your GSD will learn to raise it's level of frustration when outside distractions occur. The trick is to either avoid the trigger - put up a solid fence, keep your dogs crated when you aren't home, etc. Or try to find a different source for your dog to redirect it's frustration on. Or train your dog(s) not to react to the outside trigger. |

BMWHillbilly | My sister's female GSD does this to my female GSD when someone is walking down the street. Dolly is alpha and does the protecting and doesn't like Jazzy or my lab, Cisco to be too close to her when she is in her alert/protective mode. Both my dogs bark too but Dolly is the yard/house sentinel. :-) If Dolly is not outside then Jazzy takes over sentry duty. | |
LaRen616 |
My roommate's dog does this to my GSD when someone walks by the fence. IMO I think she is redirecting her aggression. She get's frustrated and lashes out at the thing closest to her which is usually my GSD or my roommate's other dog. |
Lilie |
The reason why Cudi is snapping is because he is frustrated. A lot of dogs will re-direct their frustration to other objects / animals when they get to the level where they have to find an outlet for thier frustration. It's the same thing with dogs who fence fight - one dog on one side, one dog on the other. They go at it like maniacs. But take both dogs out into society and they are quiet and friendly (but not always with eachother at that point). Training helps. My GSD and my Golden are enemies. I have to keep them seperated 24/7. When my GSD is in the back yard and my Golden is in the outdoor run, they'll fence fight. They don't when I'm home...but I'm not always home. I noticed a big tree by the outdoor run had chunks missing out of it, high on the trunk. I finally figured out that my GSD and Golden would fence fight and then my GSD would take his frustration out on the tree. Bad idea. I don't want broken teeth. So - I leave large rope toys - rubber jolly balls (for horses) and on a branch on the tree I have a large jolly ball tied off. Now when he gets frustrated he'll kill the ball or snatch a toy and shake it. Saves his teeth and the tree. |
Bear L | I'd be curious about people's opinion on this one. I've two dogs - a female GSD and a male 9 lbs dog. The little male dog will bark at the gate and if the female GSD goes up to do it too sometimes the little male dog will tell the female GSD to bug off, like he doesn't want to share the role of guarding or something. It's not a problem as my female will back off and stare at the little one (instead of people outside) while the little one continues to bark off his head of which no one pays attention to because it sounds more cute than threatening. | |

My Dog is snapping at my other dog and it's worrisome (to General Behavior) Morning, I have Schatzi my GSD and Cudi my malamute. They get along, both are trained and socialized. When someone approaches the gate or the door Schatzi starts barking and I have no issue with that. My issue is when Cudi does it. I have noticed that every time he starts barking, howling, or sometimes growling and Schatzi gets near him he snaps at her and they get into a confrontation. It hasn't gotten to a point where they get into a fight, but Cudi has pushed it a bit and I am getting worried that I might get home one day and find them hurt because of it. Cudi only acts this way at home when someone is getting near the gate or our house. Never has he shown this type of behavior outside with people and/or dogs. Now my question is how can I prevent this from escalating. Nobody is home during the day. I have no issue with them barking when someone gets close to the house, I just want to find away to stop Cudi from snapping at Schatzi. I don't know how to tackle this problem. When it happens and I am home I go outside and Schatzi runs towards me and Cudi snaps out of it. I just stand there and making him sit/stay until the person is gone. I don't know if I am doing it right. If you guys have any suggestion I would grateful. Thanks |

Marketers that feel there is just not enough time to spend on email marketing, you may be slightly comforted to know that you are not alone.
The bid to keep up with the evolving nature of email marketing is a challenge many organisations are struggling with, according to marketers that attended Econsultancy's Festival of Marketing.
Several senior client-side marketers gathered together for Digital Cream during the Festival, where email marketing, among other topics, was discussed at great lengths.
The general consensus? Emaiil has great potential to become even more efficient than it already is. It's just going to take skills, buy-in and time that many do not have... yet.
While these discussions were under the Chatham House Rules, the insights gleaned have been pulled together to create the new Email Marketing Trends Briefing published this week by Econsultancy in association with Pure360.
The trends briefing, which is free for registered users, also contains some best practice tips, market data and case studies.

Much has been written about the use of colour in web design. Back in the day there were stark warnings. Pick as few as possible, seemed to be the general advice, and be sensible about your choices.
I covered the main points when I wrote about colour and web design five years ago. A lot of that advice still stands up but there has been a definite shift, and nowadays it seems that more and more designers are embracing colour like never before. The polychromatic web is upon us!
The combination of flat design and blocks of saturated colour is certainly a winning combination from where I'm sitting. It's a trend that is perhaps underpinned by the growing number of devices with retina screens in circulation.
A strong, clever use of colour can be great for branded web experiences, web apps of various flavours, and agency websites. That said, I'm not fully convinced that this design trend is ideal for retailers with hundreds or thousands of product pictures, as too much colour can be overpowering, but no doubt there are some good examples out in the wild.
So then, here are 24 websites and apps that are not remotely afraid of colour. See what you make of them, and be sure to share your views in the comments area below!

Two-thirds of Asian businesses (66%) plan to increase their digital marketing budgets over the next 12 months, according to new research from Econsultancy and Campaign Asia-Pacific.
In comparison, just 19% of companies plan to increase their offline budgets in the same time period.
Furthermore, companies surveyed as part of the State of Digital Marketing in Asia 2013 Report are spending an average of 29% of their total marketing budgets on digital, a slight increase from 26% in the 2012 survey.
However, agency respondents included in the report paint a different picture, estimating that their clients spend just less than a quarter (23%) of their total budget on digital.

If you run a digital agency, especially one that designs and builds websites, then what better way of showing off your talents than to build a wonderful website for your own company?
In the past couple of years many agencies have rebuilt and relaunched their websites using HTML5 and CSS3. The results can be eye-opening, highly engaging, and built to work on all kinds of devices.
It's not all good news though. Sometimes the use of HTML5 can be downright annoying: just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Does it matter that some of these websites take half a minute to load? Personally I think fast loading times really matter, but I've heard arguments that people are prepared to wait for certain types of website. You can decide for yourself.
At any rate, there is plenty to admire here, and perhaps there is an acceptable trade off between optimal usability and the overall user / brand experience. Certainly it's always interesting to watch web design evolve, and agencies are naturally inclined to push the boundaries.
The following examples show what can be achieved, and mercifully not all of them are addicted to loading icons. Tuck in and see what you think.

During YouTube's Geek Week, I saw this article announcing Batman as the superhero most popular on YouTube.

Back in June 2012 Tumblr creator David Karp and his team publicly announced a more focused attempt at getting advertising on people's dashboards.
One of the first brands to trial the paid service was Adidas, however it is definitely not the best as proven by the low amount of 're-posts' it receives.

A lot has been written about brands as publishers. Let's face it, to get it right requires planning, investment and the operational agility to react in real-time to breaking news as it happens.
However, the returns can be more than worth it, as a growing list of examples shows.
Becoming a 'brand newsroom' isn't just a trend amongst the big companies either. Whilst there are plenty of big consumer brand examples, smaller brands, B2B companies, non-profits, and public sector organisations are also aligning their marketing and communications plans around content creation and social media.
If you are wondering if you should take the plunge, or have already jumped, the five tips below will help you get the most out of your strategy.

For the first time in Asia, the great and the good of the Malaysian and APAC digital marketing community gathered in Kuala Lumpur recently for the inaugral Future Of Digital Marketing (FODM) Malaysia conference.
Attended by over 400 delegates, and organised in conjunction with the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Malaysia and Multimedia Development Corp (MDeC), the event saw eight talks.
The talks echoed a key theme articulated by MDeC chief executive officer Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, that "the next wave of economic growth will come from the knowledge-based economy, with digital technology as a key driver of progress".
Here are just some of the highlights from an excellent conference.

Our forged steel roller rocker arms were designed for superior strength and to eliminate the failure-prone stress areas found in some other rockers. S&S roller rockers are forged from 8620 steel, heat-treated, and then shot-peened for additional strength and protection from fatigue. Our rockers also utilize 3/4" long bronze bushings, compared to the more common 1/2" long bushings or needle bearings. The end result is what we believe to be the finest rocker arm available anywhere, for any price. Fits 1984-up big twin engines, 1986-up Harley-Davidson® Sportster® models, and 1991-up Buell® v-twin and Blast® models.

I am getting ready to set up the baby's room. I wanted to put carpet in it but one of my friends was telling me that I should not and just have regular floors instead due to the dust that the carpet would pick up. Does anyone know if the carpet would affect the baby. I am planning on asking my doctor at my next appointment but it is two weeks away. Any advice would be appreciated.
It is perfectly fine to have carpet if that is what you prefer. The dust issue is only there if your child has asthma or allergies that are bothered by it.
I think it would be fine to have carpet. My daughter has always had carpet in her room and when I found out I was pregnant this time around we tore out all the old carpet and put new down in my son's room too.
Carpet is great, just be sure to vacuum regularly and you should have no problems.

Memory, good luck. I bought some of the cheap Fry's stuff (128MB PC100 DIMM for $119) and it seems to work fine. PC133 memory is virtually the same price as PC100 now, so you might as well get it instead. If buying online, be careful to find a place with a return policy and don't get ripped off by shipping.

Several weeks ago I embarked on my new role as Film Laboratory & Studio Relationship Manager. No doubt, we have all observed some significant changes in image capture and distribution formats, particularly in the last couple of years. And we have seen these changes impact the supporting film infrastructure, such as laboratories.
But our recent assessment of labs has revealed that there is an impressive 111 motion picture labs globally that commercially offer processing for 35mm color negative film. We counted over 100 labs still offering 16mm negative development, and exactly 100 of these labs also offer 35mm color print development.
When Paul Korver founded Cinelicious in 2008, he had only one thing in mind — to move the state of film post production forward.
Korver's Cinelicious is a post production studio, with locations in Hollywood and Santa Monica, offering a full slate of film and digital services. The company believes in respecting the craft and tradition of celluloid film, while leveraging all the benefits of the digital present. Cinelicious has been involved with high-level, film-based projects for directors such as Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, J.J. Abrams, and Andrew Stanton, as well as studios including Paramount, Disney, Pixar, and Warner Bros.
Every day, in cities around the world, talented experts at an array of outstanding laboratories help storytellers bring their images to life. Here's an update on what's happening in the world of labs:
Vision Globale Vision Globale, based in Montreal, Canada, offers 16mm and 35mm color negative processing for dailies. The lab, a member of the KODAK IMAGECARE Program, also strikes positive prints and optical sound tracks. Paul Dion, Vision Globale's director of operations, says the facility has seen a diversity of productions across Canada, from large studio features to independent films and local short films, as well as film school projects. "Our consistent commitment to the highest-quality services has always rewarded us with repeat business from enthusiastic filmmakers who count on us to bring their wildest projects to life. In this sense, maintaining a strong infrastructure has enabled us to promote film as a superior medium." With the recent acquisition of Mel's Studios, Vision Globale now offers a full range of studio, camera and lighting rentals; photochemical and digital production and postproduction; visual effects; 3D animation; digital image restoration; 2D conversion to 3D stereoscopic images; and production and distribution assets management.http://www.visionglobale.ca/
We know filmmakers today have many creative choices. We also want to let you know that we are working closely with the labs to maintain quality processing and printing for our loyal customers who continue to choose film.
Today we kick off a blog series that will highlight the many positive changes that are occurring on the lab scene today.
Every day, in cities around the world, talented experts at an array of outstanding laboratories help storytellers bring their images to life. In Camera checked in with just a few of these labs to see what's developing and on the horizon.
This year marks FotoKem's 50th anniversary as a full-service post-production facility serving the creative community. With one of the most well-known labs in the world, the Burbank-based company offers a broad spectrum of services, including a palette of new digital workflows for 65mm, 35mm and 16mm film acquisition. Mike Brodersen, FotoKem's VP of strategy, notes, "In recent months, both 65mm and 35mm 2-perf have seen a boost in popularity – filmmakers shooting 65mm as the gold standard in image quality and 2-perf 35mm as a cost-effective acquisition choice for 'scope' aspect ratios. Offering new digital tools in conjunction with film acquisition gives productions a wide array of finishing options for a variety of budget levels, with the added benefit of a built-in archive format for future proofing."

The Sopranos - Third Season
Internet Movie Database | ||
official site | ||
the soundtrack cd | ||
It's been nearly a year since Big Pussy went to sleep with the fishes, an eternity for
fans of The Sopranos forced to make do with
perpetual reruns and the recent DVD release of the show's first season while series
creator David Chase took his sweet time plotting the further adventures of Tony Soprano
and crew. Was it worth the wait?
Conventional wisdom appears to hold that the show's second season was
something of a disappointment, a victim of the sophomore slump. Indeed, Sopranos
Mark II was a messier, more sprawling affair than its predecessor, encompassing both
higher peaks and lower valleys than the tightly constructed first run. Powerhouse episodes involving Tony's trip to Italy
and a visiting Hollywood production were followed by a mid-season lull, the nadir of which
was the trite and silly "From Where to Eternity", which depicted the aftermath
of the shooting of Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli). With its supernatural bugaboos, out-of-character
dialogue and overly schematic motivations, the episode resembled nothing so much as a late
installment of Twin Peaks; for the first time,
The Sopranos seemed like just another TV show. But the second season finished strongly with what
may be the two best episodes of the series to date: "Knight in White Satin
Armor," which provided the unexpected culmination of the season-long romance between
Tony's sister Janice (Aida Turturro) and his errant capo Richie Aprile; and
"Funhouse," a dream-soaked reverie which recalled Twin Peaks in its glory days and sent FBI snitch
Big Pussy Bompensiero to the bottom of the ocean.
Soon after the second season wrapped, The Sopranos was dealt a heavy blow by the death of
Nancy Marchand, who played Tony's monstrous mother Livia.
As the third season opens, however, Livia is still alive and still very much a
thorn in Tony's side. Having hastily provided
her with stolen airline tickets in an attempt to relocate her to Arizona, Tony now frets
that his mother will testify against him in exchange for immunity. Since the disappearance of Cooperating Witness #16
- Big Pussy - the Feds have been frustrated in their attempts to build a RICO case against
the mob boss. "Mr. Ruggerio's
Neighborhood," the first of two new episodes premiering March 4th on HBO, concerns
the efforts of the FBI's Mafia task force to wiretap the Soprano residence.
HBO's decision to air the first two episodes back-to-back was a wise
one. "Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood"
functions as an elegant, ingeniously structured prologue; rather than plunging us back
into the world of The Sopranos, it brings us up
to speed through teasing glimpses of each of the family members as they are tailed by
various undercover agents. Each Soprano has
an FBI code name: There's "Mrs. Bing" (Edie Falco), seen taking tennis lessons
with sexpot Adrianna (Drea de Matteo); "Princess Bing" (Jamie-Lynn Sigler), now
a freshman at Columbia University; "Baby Bing" (Robert Iler), cutting class and
sneaking smokes with a crowd of toughs; and Der Bingle himself (James Gandolfini),
embroiled in a garbage contracting war sure to become one of the main storylines this
year. Taut and suspenseful, "Mr.
Ruggerio's Neighborhood" would no doubt come as a tantalizing but disappointingly
brief opening salvo were it airing alone.
The follow-up, "Proshai, Livushka," delivers the goods. Astoundingly dense with plot, character and
detail, the episode exhibits both the (few) head-scratching flaws and (many) exhilarating
highlights endemic to the prior season. The
biggest blunder: an unforgivably cheesy scene between Tony and Livia in which they never
appear in the same frame together and Livia utters nothing but stock phrases and makes her
usual dismissive gestures. Either the shots
of Marchand are outtakes from a previous episode or they were filmed months before the
rest of the scene, but whatever the case, the result resembles nothing so much as The Trail of the Pink Panther, the Inspector
Clouseau movie cobbled from the cutting room floor after Peter Sellers' death. There are a few other lapses, too, such as a
moment where Tony seems to forget his phone is bugged and the weirdly offhand introduction
of a major new character.
But the payoff comes with the death of Livia, who gets the farewell she
deserves - a wake for a woman nobody mourns. The
deliriously awkward memorial service is an encapsulation of everything that makes The Sopranos so special, bringing together a mix of
characters both major and minor, all of whom are expertly delineated and a joy to watch. There's wisecracking Uncle Junior (Dominic
Chianese) and his gentle giant of a henchman, Bobby Bacala (Steven R. Schirripa);
inquisitive Italian import Furio (Federico Castelluccio) and well-meaning chef Artie Bucco
(John Ventimiglia); goofball goombahs Silvio Dante (Steve Van Zandt) and Paulie Walnuts
(Tony Sirico). It's an embarrassment of
riches, even with the loss of three major players from the previous season (one of whom
makes a startling split-second appearance). But
the rising stars to keep your eyes on this season are the Soprano offspring. There's a shocking encounter early in
"Proshai, Livushka" between Tony and a potential suitor of daughter Meadow, one
that indicates David Chase has no plans to soften his characters as time goes on (the
Archie Bunker syndrome). And as A.J. Soprano,
Robert Iler shows signs of rivaling his TV dad in terms of erasing the line between actor
and role. Iler's A.J. is a frighteningly
realistic troubled teen - there always seems to be something enormous and terrifying
bubbling up inside him, and this may be the season it comes to the surface. As always, though, Gandolfini and Falco form the
bedrock of the series, continually setting the bar for television acting higher as Tony
and Carmela. Gandolfini finds exactly the
right note for Tony's mixed reaction to his mother's death, and Carmela - well, if you
enjoyed her kiss-off to Father Phil in season one, just wait until you get a load of her
eulogy for Livia. The show's dark heart may
be dead, but The Sopranos is still alive and
- Scott Von Doviak

Thanks to Lecheeck nutrition for sending me a couple of these.
My normal pre workouts are N2KTS, Mesomorph, and AMP02. This is the second DAA pre product I've tested recently. (LIT UP)
I really felt a good clean energy from SpeedXtreme. No crash. No jitters. Not a pump product at all but good energy and focus was pretty good also.
I had a really good workout with it. No crazy heart pounding which tells me they got the caffeine right. I was sweating like a hog withing minutes and I cranked out a few extra reps on most exercises.
Overall great supp! I'd add it to my cabinet without hesitation.
Mixabliity: 7/10 Not great but not too bad. Similar to LitUP I thought.
Taste: Again similar to lit up. Both have a thicker feeling than other preworkouts I've used and I have to assume that's the addtion of the DAA.
Energy: 8.5/10 Good amount. Nothing nuts but CLEAN. I liked that.
Focus: 8/10 Not laser but easy to maintain concentration and mind muscle connection.
Look forward to seeing more from Lecheek! Thanks guys!

SOURCE Amorini Panini
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Amorini Panini, the local, fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in fresh, grilled-to-perfection Panini's, will begin a franchise operation to make the Panini a go-to delicacy up and down the east coast. The fast casual restaurant has launched a robust franchise expansion model based on an exceptional level of support and strategic guidance to prospective owners.
Founder Matt Gray, who started Amorini Panini with its first press in 2010, is excited to make the lesser-known style of sandwich a culinary contender amongst national juggernauts of the restaurant industry. After realizing the Panini was absent from local on-the-go restaurants, Gray was inspired to launch the flagship store in D.C.'s Penn Quarter Neighborhood.
"Starbucks created coffee. Chipotle created the burrito. Amorini Panini is creating the Panini," Gray said.
After the launch of the first store, customers lined up for the artisan menu - featuring options such as the Montana Buffalo Chicken, and the Southwestern, along with signature soups and salads - and business quickly grew to capacity. A food truck, which Gray dubbed the "Panini Machine," started taking Panini's curbside. Another brick-and-mortar store opened in Farragut Square and in July 2013, Gray launched the second food truck in response to the ever-expanding customer base.
Building on Amorini Panini's local success with vacationing families and busy professionals, Gray has shifted his focus from "selling Panini's to our franchise system." Gray worked with The iFranchise Group to develop a system that was proven to be successful in different markets and with various demographics.
The system boasts an impressive support structure, which begins with pre-opening training, and continues with week long on-site guidance after each store's grand opening. Another benefit, unique in the restaurant franchising industry, is the food truck, which allows for additional revenue as well as expands the customer base. Gray feels it is important to foster a "team" relationship with his franchisees, allowing them to focus on serving quality food with superior customer service while the corporate staff provides the support necessary to ensure success.

District 4 Board Of Supervisors Chapter 5 "Ambush At The Teaparty Corral"
Sunday, August 12th, 2012
On Thursday, August 2nd, the Tucson Tea Party and KNST held an event, a debate between Supervisor Ray Carroll and his opponent Sean Collins. The simple purpose of host and moderators is to insure civility, honesty and impartiality. Sad, but most of those were NOT present under the supervision of Garret Lewis and KNST.
It was evident from the beginning the questions were tailored for Sean Collins and he had been prepped in advance. Sadly, or maybe not, even with the advantage of a sympathetic host and tailored questions he lost the debate soundly. Supervisor Carroll spoke from the heart and from his knowledge of the County Operations. Sean Collins spoke from a LOT of unfamiliar notes and it showed.
The evening started with an undertone of antagonism with Supervisor Carroll being harassed by Mr Lewis concerning a word he used during the (Private Roast) held by Save the Scenic Santa Rita's, Randy Graf and the other pro Rosemont supporters placed it into a video and then flooded the area with it. NOW AS Paul Harvey used to say ,"The Rest of The Story" , during the opening a representative of the Tea Party while asking for donations included a comment of having to pay the "Damn School!" and that seemed rather hypocritical to me to be cursing the school which allowed you to have a meeting and at the same time have an Attack Dog in the form of a Talk Show Host attacking a Member of our Board of Supervisors.
Following are excerpts from Lewis' talk show where he edited the recordings to make Supervisor Carroll sound offensive. I have sent these to Mr. Lewis and to Management at KNST and none responded to dispute it. This is EXACTLY what his constituents have been telling Supervisor Carroll about Rosemont and the type of behavieur Supervisor Carroll was refering to when he mentioned the untrue "advertising".
If you wish to see more read the older story where Rod Pace and Dan Ryan claimed Rosemont was the number two tourist attraction in Arizona.
012 07 27 ST Lewis show
Garrett He was getting a little testy towards the end of the interview.
Garrett Play the soundbite of Ray from the 25th.
Ray You're just doing your business trying to get your ratings up
Garrett Is that bad?
Ray No
Garrett The way you say that in that tone. It sounds pretty bad
Ray You can read it in my tone however you like
Garrett That's exactly how I take it
Garrett Seems to me like you didn't want newspapers and radio
stations like us that accepted advertising from Rosemont
copper and Save the scenic Santa Rita's to actually use
that to pad our profits and pay people,
I mean that to me is anti-what you said is
anything but conservative.
Ray Listen, listen you can bring it up
Garrett It is
Ray You can just remember that was a roast
Garrett It wasn't funny
Ray I already said—
Ray Hey, listen, some people thought your jokes about
Green Valley weren't funny!
Garrett No they do, they do
Ray I'm trying to tell you ,your an entertainer, I'm a
politician but in the end, If you want to just, you know,
continue to beat that dead horse,I understand
Garrett Lewis cut out the ending
to make it appear more contentious.
Ray but at same time Rod and I have made amends over
what he's done and what I've said
Lewiss Rod, you good with him, really quick, I am really behind.
Rod Pace You know, again I'm not going to go on that ,I'm not going to bring it up, I mean what Ray said and
I'm not going to hold it against Ray but it probably
wasn't the right choice of words and I think Ray knows
that too.
Garret Lewis adds Section to make it appear
to be in original soundbite
Garrett States
not exactly a dead horse, when you curse at a business
and you think that it's bad, that, you think ads should be banned,
It wasn't a joke
The above is another example of how Rosemont is using their advertising dollars to try and influence our elections and an example of how the people will post anything for a dollar.
Mr. Lewis,
I don't know and cannot speak for Green Valley but I find you and your show neither FUNNY
nor Informative. You tried to back shoot Supervisor Carroll but you missed.

Reading data from GPS devices
Training Support
With a small GPS receiver on his wrist, Mike has been jogging through San Francisco neighborhoods. While catching his breath, safe at home, he visualizes the data he acquired while running with Perl.
A few years ago, portable GPS devices looked more like the clunky cellphones of the early 1990s. Today, athletes no longer need to drag along that much extra weight, as devices like the Garmin Forerunner 10 [1] have shrunk to the size of digital LED watches from the 1970s (Figure 1). These ultimate sports accessories log geographic coordinates during runs.
Thus, runners can see how fast they are currently traveling and whether they need to speed up or slow down to achieve their own time goals. After completing all of this muscular activity, runners can then enjoy the experience of logging new speed records, viewing the running route on a map, reviewing the miles traveled, or marveling at an altitude profile of the route.

The vet is just looking out for his business. You need to look out for your pups well being. Quote:
But take IPO, you can work on tracking, and obedience and some prey drive work with out getting too serious and get more into it if the dogs temperament is suitable and you find a good club to do it with. Dog playing ball or tug is working the prey drive and everybody does this and it is not considered dangerous. |
GSD07 | Aggression and physical fitness is very much affected by testosterone. | |
martemchik |
You want to train him for protection but nothing very serious?!?! Protection training is VERY SERIOUS. There is no joking around when you're training your dog that its alright to bite people. Neutering most likely will not affect his drive to protect. Not sure what testicles have to do with stamina either. Aggression is also a temperament trait and not really affected by physical changes. |
zyppi |
"Vet mentioned that it will bring down the aggression level as well it might not be as hyper. " Not likely! My male is not neutered ( six years old and very healthy - in fact vet does not want to neuter him). Hate to advocate not neutering for others. There are negatives, but mainly, control your male so that unwanted litters never occur. |
doggiedad |
i've never neutered my dogs and i've never had any kind of problem with them. |
meek | I'm not going to neuter my males. I neuter 2 of my dogs, both were labs and they both died of cancer, one died of bone cancer. My shepherds will not be neutered. I hope and pray that they will live a long and healthy life. | |
gsdsar |
It's a very personal decision. All I'd my dogs have been neutered or spayed. My girls get get spayed sometime after their first heat. Usually between 11-15 months. They are all working dogs. No change in drive. My last male I neutered when he was 2. He too was a very strong working SAR dog and I saw zero affect once neutered. My current pup is 8 months. He will remain intact. Unless I decide neutering him will be better for him or me. But it won't happen before he is 2yo. My personal opinion is that you do what is best for YOUR family and time and skill level. Intact males can be a challenge. While most male behaviors can be fixed/mitigated with training, if your skill level and confidence and lifestyle is such that you cannot do it, neutering can help. I would at least wait until after the growth plates close at around 15 mo. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

Hi zigil! Here are some quotes and articles. IMO, never good to neuter young. Consider the alternative surgeries: vasectomy or tubal ligation Good luck with your decision. Don't let a vet talk you into it if you feel it is not right! Moms Dr. Karen Becker: If you decide to spay your dog, holding off on the surgery until she is sexually mature and fully mentally and physically developed can help protect her against many forms of cancers and endocrine diseases later on. Pyometra: More Than a Uterine Infection As a veterinary oncologist and founder of the pet hospice program Pawspice, Dr. Villalobos concedes, It is earth shattering to consider that some of the cancers we have been battling may have been enhanced by early neutering instead of the reverse. Page 2 of 12: http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/LongT...uterInDogs.pdf The evidence shows that spay/neuter correlates with both positive AND adverse health effects in dogs. It also suggests how much we really do not yet understand about this subject. On balance, it appears that no compelling case can be made for neutering most male dogs, especially immature male dogs, in order to prevent future health problems. The number of health problems associated with neutering may exceed the associated health benefits in most cases. On the positive side, neutering male dogs eliminates the small risk (probably <1%) of dying from testicular cancer reduces the risk of non-cancerous prostate disorders reduces the risk of perianal fistulas may possibly reduce the risk of diabetes (data inconclusive) On the negative side, neutering male dogs if done before 1 year of age, significantly increases the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer); this is a common cancer in medium/large and larger breeds with a poor prognosis. increases the risk of cardiac hemangiosarcoma by a factor of 1.6 triples the risk of hypothyroidism increases the risk of progressive geriatric cognitive impairment triples the risk of obesity, a common health problem in dogs with many associated health problems quadruples the small risk (<0.6%) of prostate cancer doubles the small risk (<1%) of urinary tract cancers increases the risk of orthopedic disorders increases the risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations" "There is a growing body of scientific evidence that points to the harmful effects of spaying and neutering: shortened life span, increased risk of certain cancers, and increased incidence of ACL injuries. Depending on your situation, you may wish to delay the spaying or neutering of your dog until it is 14 months old or not sterilize it at all. If you're worried about not being able to control your dog when it becomes sexually mature, consider a vasectomy or tubal ligation, which will prevent your dog from becoming a parent, but retain the beneficial effects of the dog's sex hormones." Ted Kerasote 7/13: https://www.avma.org/News/JAVMANews/Pages/130401s.aspx Dr. Becker: http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2013/09/30/neutering-health-risks.aspx?e_cid=20130930Z1_PetsNL_art_1&utm_sourc e=petnl_RTLUBIQ&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1& utm_campaign=20130930Z1RTLUBIQ |

Question about neutering I was at the vets today with my 4 month old GS pup. The question about neutering came up. Ive been thinking about this for a while and cant come up with a decision. I would like to train him for protection eventually. Nothing very serious either. Vet mentioned that it will bring down the aggression level as well it might not be as hyper. I dont know what to think about that. I love German Shepherds. Their best known for their power, protection, stamina. I dont want to take any of that away from him. Did you neuter your dog? Did he change? How did he change? I know I should neuter between 4-6 months based on vets recommendation but can that also be done later down the road or is this the cut off age? Thanks, |
