Behind-the-scenes program will air 18 times throughout March
The Buffalo Sabres announced Thursday that MSG will air new episodes of "Beyond Blue & Gold," a video series that takes fans behind the scenes of the Sabres organization, beginning this Saturday, March 2, at 2 p.m. The half-hour program will premiere directly before MSG's coverage of the Sabres' game against the New Jersey Devils, which begins at 2:30 p.m. with the "Tops Game Night" pregame show and then the game broadcast at 3 p.m. The program will then be re-aired after the game, at 6 p.m.
"Beyond Blue & Gold" is a series that takes fans inside the Buffalo Sabres organization by offering behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the team's players, coaches and front office personnel. Cameras have been following the team since early June and have captured everything from offseason workouts, the NHL Entry Draft, the buildup to the 2012-13 NHL season, the team's weeklong training camp and other behind-the-scenes moments of the first month of the season. Nine episodes of "Beyond Blue & Gold" have already premiered online with more coming as the series continues throughout the 2012-13 season.
This month's episodes on MSG highlight the Sabres' week of training camp in mid-January, the start of the 2012-13 season, exclusive interviews with Sabres owner Terry Pegula and Sabres GM Darcy Regier, and features with Sabres forward Nathan Gerbe and a "Day in the Life" of team equipment managers. Each episode on MSG is 30 minutes long and is hosted by Sabres broadcaster Brian Duff.
New episodes of "Beyond Blue & Gold" will premiere every few weeks on www.Sabres.com and the Buffalo Sabres' official YouTube channel.
MSG will continue to air the packages of "Beyond Blue & Gold" episodes throughout the season and as the series progresses. Viewers in the Buffalo and Rochester markets will have many chances to catch the most recent run of "Beyond Blue & Gold" on MSG: episodes will air 18 times on MSG throughout the month of March.

10 Pairs of PVC protective bikini style briefs open at sides.
It is all made with comfortable, soft lingerie elastics: these cloth elastics are against the skin.
The crotch is reasonably wide (the garment accomodates the #888 reusable absorbent pad, if chosen in a smaller size than the garment). Colors/ material: transparent (clear), relatively soft (the same material as the clear Angela pants), and very smooth vinyl (available in all sizes, from XS to XXL) or white vinyl (available only for sizes from S to XXL, i.e., not in XS). The material feels gentle to touch. The garment is particularly useful for those who definitely need diapers but live in a hot climate (where full size vinyl pants may be too uncomfortable), or for those who need very small size waterproof garments to conceal under short sport clothing or certain professional uniforms.
This is a good and much needed product.
Fairly durable, very inexpensive, and very useful. We recommend this product.
The pant is well suited for sport activities or hot summers as it is less uncomfortable than a full size vinyl pant (less perspiration).
It is not easy to select proper size with these short garments. Please buy first only one in a given size (or one of each in 2 neighboring sizes), to see if it fits you comfortably. For some persons, several sizes may fit (some for a very tight fit and some for a more generous, comfortable fit).
Extra-small (XS) for waist 20" to 32" (51cm to 81cm), hips to 34" (86cm). This size (XS) is available only in the transparent vinyl (PVC). The other sizes are available in transparent and in white.
Small (S) for waist 24" to 36" (61cm to 92cm), hips to 37" (94cm).
Medium (M) for waist 28" to 43" (71cm to 109cm), hips maximum 42" (107cm).
Large (L) for waist 32" to 46" (81cm to 117cm), hips to 46" 117cm).
Extra-large (XL) for waist 39" to 55" (99cm to 140cm), hips to 55" (140cm).
Extra-Extra-large (XXL) for waist 45" to 68" (114cm to 172cm), hips maximum 66" (167cm).

Size: SmallX-Large (+CAD$2.00)

I found an Achtung keylogger installed on my computer by my ex boyfriend. I deleted the file, however I am unsure as to whether or not I actually removed the program. Can anyone help me?
Open RegEdit
and look at
and check for suspicios Exe that might start when Windows statrs(i assume that your using windows right ???)
or download Tauscan and scan your system
I forgot to mention to you that Tauscan is a Backdoor remover and it looks also for Keyloggers
Once the keylogger has definitely been removed, remember to change all your passwords for anything which you may have used since it was installed.
and also a very good possibility that he won't do it again ...kick him in the NUTS
Thanx for all of your help, that did the trick. Oh, and consider those nutts squashed! *talking to self.. I wonder where I put those steel tipped boots again?*

Many turning to home security to prevent porch thieves during holiday delivery season
Now that the holiday shopping season is in full swing, that means a lot of online purchases are ending up on doorstops and front porches.
The U.S. Postal Service said it expects to deliver 850 million packages between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. During that time, the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office is reminding customers to be wary of possible porch thieves.
Sgt. Jon Seeber said the Sheriff's Office does see an uptick in stolen property calls during this time of year.
"A lot of times, the thieves will actually follow the delivery trucks around and wait for them to make that delivery and then they'll approach that porch or door and take that package and be gone," Seeber said.
Some people are using technology to help keep their packages safe.
Jason Kollbaum, the manager at electronics store Best Buy, said a lot more people have been coming into the store asking about security cameras.
"The biggest thing people are looking for is just that home security, the ability to have the video and the audio to go along with what's going on around their house when they're not out front," Kollbaum said,
Products like Ring and Nest keep an eye on the front door and let homeowners know someone is there by contacting their cell phone, even when they're out of the house.
"We're hearing stories all the time about how people like to interact with the safety of their homes, see what's arriving , seeing that their UPS, their FedEx is dropped off in the right spot, that their package has arrived and coordinate someone getting home to pick up the package," Kollbaum said.
It always helps to plan ahead when expecting a package, but cameras help provide some extra peace of mind, and evidence to help law enforcement catch criminals.
"We tell people to consider installing a security camera system. The Ring, the Nest cam. These are things that we rely on for that video coverage to help us identify the thief," Seeber said.
Authorities said requesting a signature upon delivery is also another way to avoid stolen packages.

Intensive English Language Center, University of Nevada, Reno
United States
Study English and Live the Language!
In 1982, the Intensive English Language Center (IELC) at the University of Nevada, Reno was established to enable international students to integrate into the mainstream of higher education. The IELC has three main goals: to teach the necessary academic, language and study skills to succeed at a university level, to introduce students to American culture and university life, and to help students make an effective transition from English as a Second Language to university-level studies. IELC students gain full access to the University's campus facilities and can enjoy using the University libraries, the Writing Center for free tutoring, the Women's Resource Center, the student health center, computer labs with Internet access and the campus sports facilities including indoor sports courts, swimming pools, a running track and gymnasiums. The IELC arranges a regular program of activities for its students and can include camping and trips to Lake Tahoe, bus tours throughout Reno, roller-skating and ice skating, local excursions to historic sites, skiing, movie nights, student receptions, dances and banquets. The IELC has full accreditation from CEA (The Commission on English Language Program Accreditation) and is a proud member of EnglishUSA(The American Association of Intensive English Programs) which promotes professional standards and quality instruction in intensive English programs.
Faculty Qualifications
The full-time faculty members at the IELC hold master's or PhD degrees in Teaching English as a Second Language, Linguistics, or in related fields. All of IELC instructors have extensive experience teaching in the United States and abroad.
Conditional Admission / Credit Courses
Students in the advanced and graduate level may also take a 3-credit academic course at the University while completing their English studies, with director's approval. Students who successfully complete the advanced level may enter the University of Nevada, Reno or Nevada colleges at the undergraduate level without taking the TOEFL. Select graduate programs also offer Conditional Admission and accept the IELC recommendation in lieu of the TOEFL, after the student successfully completes the graduate level.
About This Course
The English as a Second Language program offers 5, 8, 10 and 16-week sessions throughout the year; students receive 20 hours of in-class instruction per week.
The program offers six levels of English classes, ranging from beginning to graduate level.

Elective courses in areas of special interest are also available to students and may include topics such as Business English, Service Learning, and American culture. These courses are designed to develop students' English language skills required in an academic setting and to introduce them to teaching styles practiced in the United States.
Small, interactive classes are emphasized. Class sizes range from 10 to 15 students per class. Every effort is made to keep classes at an ideal size for effective English instruction.

As you enter the holiday party season, you're going to want to put your best foot forward in terms of party shoes. As Fashion Director at Who What Wear, in the past few months I've come across a multitude of amazing heels, so finding the perfect pair to create a striking ensemble is going to be a breeze. Here are my top five picks for what to buy now.
Aldo Firolber Heels ($100)
Thanks to the pewter, python-embossed collar, these pumps are all vamp! They will look great with a pretty little camisole, a knee-length pencil skirt, and sheer black hosiery.
Nicholas Kirkwood Black Satin Heels ($1195, 646.559.5239)
These satin heels by Nicholas Kirkwood are begging to be your plus one at a black-tie event. The bow and jewel detail are dramatic, but the clear panels and slingback strap balance the look. My advice: keep it simple and structured on top, and let these be your statement piece.
Tory Burch Printed Pixie Open Toe Pumps ($395)
The 3-D floral detail on these peep-toes are a big conversation starter; plus, they'll work well in warmer and more tropical climates. Pair them with a cropped pantsuit to lend a sophisticated ensemble a playful finish.
Topshop Gem Crystal Covered Bow Courts ($110)
I love the retro '60s feel of these crystal-covered, bow-bedecked heels. I'd play it up with a sweet A-line organza dress.
Stuart Weitzman Stiletto Heels ($498) in Black Satin
The subtle matte satin is so chic and will work with a variety of different fabrics, especially tuxedo trousers or leather pants.–Laurie Trott

By ,
Published January 13, 2015
The New York Jets have released veteran linebacker Calvin Pace, safety Eric Smith, backup offensive lineman Jason Smith, and tight end Josh Baker, clearing significant salary cap space.
The moves Tuesday were expected because New York entered the offseason more than $20 million over the cap for the 2013 season. They were the first significant personnel decisions by new general manager John Idzik, who was hired to replace the fired Mike Tannenbaum last month.
Idzik will be plenty busy this offseason, with another key decision being the future of backup quarterback Tim Tebow, who is expected to be traded or released before free agency begins next month.
The Jets are also hamstrung by the contract of quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is coming off a miserable season but is guaranteed $8.25 million in 2013. He would cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him.

New headaches are more likely to be dangerous
JW Anderson logo Ballet shoes cheap 2014 new DLwf3VNI2L
. They can, however, simply be the first presentation of a chronic headache syndrome, like migraine or tension-type headaches.
One recommended diagnostic approach is as follows. [32] If any urgent red flags are present such as visual loss, new seizures, new weakness, new confusion, further workup with imaging and possibly a lumbar puncture should be done (see red flags section for more details). If the headache is sudden onset (thunderclap headache), a computed tomography test to look for a brain bleed ( subarachnoid hemorrhage ) should be done. If the CT scan does not show a bleed, a lumbar puncture should be done to look for blood in the CSF, as the CT scan can be falsely negative and subarachnoid hemorrhages can be fatal. If there are signs of infection such as fever, rash, or stiff neck, a lumbar puncture to look for meningitis should be considered. If there is jaw claudication and scalp tenderness in an older person, a temporal artery biopsy to look for temporal arteritis should be performed and immediate treatment should be started.
The US Headache Consortium has guidelines for neuroimaging of non-acute headaches.
Most old, chronic headaches do not require neuroimaging. If a person has the characteristic symptoms of a migraine, neuroimaging is not needed as it is very unlikely the person has an intracranial abnormality.
best prices cheap price buy cheap store Valentino Valentino Garavani Rockstud Noir ballerinas CrTmS9XmP
If the person has neurological findings, such as weakness, on exam, neuroimaging may be considered.
All people who present with
red flags
indicating a dangerous secondary headache should receive neuroimaging.
The best form of neuroimaging for these headaches is controversial.

Non-contrast computerized tomography (CT) scan is usually the first step in head imaging as it is readily available in Emergency Departments and hospitals and is cheaper than MRI. Non-contrast CT is best for identifying an acute head bleed. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is best for brain tumors and problems in the posterior fossa , or back of the brain. [6] MRI is more sensitive for identifying intracranial problems, however it can pick up brain abnormalities that are not relevant to the person's headaches. [6]
The American College of Radiology recommends the following imaging tests for different specific situations:

How do women combine two of their favorite comfortable clothing items? They choose pajama jeans! The Pajama Jeans brand has been taking the world by storm since unveiled only a few years ago. It isn't a joke. Pajama jeans are designed like boot cut jeans with a drawstring. They are made of a stretchy, soft Dormisoft blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex. Style and comfort unite to adjust to body movements and flatter all shapes and sizes. Each style has curved side pockets, brass-finished rivets and boot-cut legs. They even go up to size 3X so any size woman can fit into these jeans. The pants are not only stylish, but they are just as comfortable as any other pajama pant.
Pajama Jeans actually began in Shelburne, Vermont at the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. They were introduced in 2009 through the PajamaGram mail-order business, which is owned by the same company. Hampton Direct, the company famous for its "As Seen on TV" products, soon took over marketing and distribution. Hampton Direct is behind the infamous Pajama jean television ad that began airing in October 2010 and quickly made the sleepwear jeans a hit. In February 2011, over 400,000 pairs of Pajama jeans had been sold online or by phone. Since the success was busting out the doors, they were then distributed to stores and online retailers. Pajama Jeans are now offered in almost 80,000 stores nationwide. They are expanding to include styles beyond the single boot-cut version and a skinny jean style, even to Pajama jeans for men.
Celebrities like Holly Madison and Sherri Shepherd say they constantly wear Pajama jeans. The sleepwear/activewear was featured on "The View" as a new, hot item. Comedienne Kathy Griffin even put them in her stage act. Pajama jeans are well known for the mantra being 'pajamas you live in, jeans you sleep in.' They can be worn out and then be worn right to bed without sacrificing comfort or fashion. They are even great when traveling as they provide a comfortable fit and don't take up too much room for easy storage.
Customers say the best thing about Pajama jeans is the fit and feel. They say the warmth and comfort provide a great sense of comfort throughout the day. Women say they can wear them to work and still be comfortable when they get home. Others are glad they are offered in so many sizes so they don't have to search other places for Pajama Jeans that fit them.
With Pajama Jeans a woman can roll out of her bed in her pants for the day. She can work out in them, shop in them and play in them. For women the best feeling from a pair of jeans is comfort and the best feeling in a pair of sleep pants is being cozy. Pajama jeans gives her that feeling rolled into one piece of clothing. Styles of jeans may change, but Pajama Jeans will always be there for style and comfort.

Masato Toys recently put out an incredible (but unfortunately fake) UFC coloring book, featuring kid-friendly mazes, chest-less ring girls, and classic moments from UFC's past. One page caught our eye in particular: The above image of Alan Belcher without his famous(ly ugly) Johnny Cash tattoo.
There's a lot of space to cover on that arm, and we'd love to see how you'd fill it. Using Photoshop, MS Paint, or a printer and actual crayons, please draw a new tattoo for Alan onto the image and send the resulting work to BG at email@example.com.
A week from today, we'll pick our three favorites who will win…well, we're not sure yet. Maybe some CagePotato shirts if we still have some left. Maybe just some shout-outs on Twitter. Maybe nothing. That's what makes this contest "unofficial." Take it or leave it. Good luck everybody, and follow Masato Toys on Facebook right here.

Pakistan's embattled cricket team were embroiled in allegations of match-fixing on Sunday after British police arrested a man on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers.
The controversy erupted after the News of the World alleged some members of the Pakistan team were involved in a betting scam in the ongoing fourth and final Test against England at Lord's.
Britain's biggest-selling newspaper claimed several blatant no-balls had been delivered by Pakistan bowlers.
The weekly tabloid said it gave 150,000 pounds (230,000 dollars, 185,000 euros) to a middle man who correctly told them in advance precisely when those deliveries would be bowled.
"Following information received from the News of the World we have arrested a 35-year-old man on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers," a spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said.
Despite the latest controversy swirling around the game, the International Cricket Council (ICC) insisted the fourth Test would continue as scheduled on Sunday, adding that no "players nor team officials have been arrested in relation to this incident".
Pakistan tour manager Yawar Saeed added: "I can confirm we are aware of the allegations. Scotland Yard (Metropolitan) police are with us now at our hotel and we are helping them with their enquiries.
"This is as much as I can say at the moment."
The News of the World published images and dialogue from the encounter and a picture of what it said was one of the promised no-balls delivered on Friday.
It also ran a photograph of Pakistan captain Salman Butt standing with the man they claimed was the middleman, and one of their reporters.
At the team's London hotel, fast bowler Mohammad Asif told the Press Association: "I have spoken to the management and they have told us something happened, but not what. "The management will tell us more later. We are 100 percent focused on the match tomorrow."
The News of the World claimed their reporters had posed as front men for an Asian gambling cartel, paying 10,000 pounds to the alleged fixer as an upfront deposit.
They met again on Wednesday in a west London hotel room to hand over the rest of the money as their "entry ticket" into what they claimed was a "huge betting syndicate".
They claimed the middle man then correctly predicted when the no-balls would be bowled.
The newspaper showed the alleged fixer with piles of cash on a table.
Meanwhile, the ICC said the match would continue as planned on Sunday at Lord's, the spiritual home of the game.
"The International Cricket Council, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have been informed by the Metropolitan Police that a 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers," said an ICC statement.
"The Metropolitan Police have informed the ICC, ECB and PCB that their investigations continue and ICC, ECB and PCB, with the involvement of the ICC Anti Corruption and Security Unit, are fully assisting those enquiries.
"No players nor team officials have been arrested in relation to this incident and the fourth Test match will continue as scheduled on Sunday."
"As this is now subject to a police investigation neither ICC, ECB, PCB nor the ground authority, MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club), will make any further comment," it added.
Pakistan, who have been dogged by 'fixing' allegations since the 1990s, collapsed spectacularly yet again Saturday to leave England closing in on an innings victory.
At stumps, Pakistan, following on, were 41 for four in their second innings, having been dismissed for just 74 first time around.
That left them still 331 runs adrift of England's first innings 446 as the home team eyed a victory that would give them a 3-1 win in their final series before they begin the defence of the Ashes in Australia in November.

My format of choice for personal audio up until a few years ago, when the rest of the world had already long moved on to MP3. Nothing beats the satisfying sound of closing a portable MiniDisc player/recorder with a disc in it.

border collies
Does anyone own a border collie or had experience with them? Anybody know of a board dedicated to them or a great site?
Posted up on your other thread but will here too. I do have a Border Collie and one book that is a good general understanding book of the way these dogs understand things is "The Versatile Border Collie" by Janet E. Larson. You're having trouble with your pup if I'm not mistaken from your other post?
Here's my BC's petsite photo..this photo was taken in her younger days..
She is gorgeous!!! 13 - I bet she is still a ton of fun!
Not necessarily problems just confusion. We researched heavily before we decided on a border collie on our choice of puppy. He is becoming aggressive after playing or even seeing briefly our neighbours border collie pup. In training class he will not socialize with the other pups but will focus only on Toby (my neighbours pup).
He plays with other dogs and pups outside of class and this agressiveness does not appear. Any ideas?
He is 12 1/2 weeks old and recently neutered. I have attached his picture. I hope it works.
I have the answer for your border collie woes! These two just came into our rescue. Want them?
Your pup is very cute!
HA HA HA HA LR u'r hill'air'e'us
Borders thrive in agility classes but this one may just be too young. Maybe just give sweetie lots of toys to play with!
Cats only have nine lives because they stole them from dogs!Teehee
Murph's Mom, I'm sure your research told you that border collies can be intensely driven and focused, with off-the-scale energy levels, and can be dog-aggressive.
I hope you have a very active lifestyle and want to get into activities for dogs. This is a breed that must have a job - whether herding sheep or doing agility or flyball. If you don't give them a job, they will find one on their own,(digging, barking, chewing, nipping) and it's guaranteed you won't like it!
So are you interested in Maybelle and Maybelline down below?
Ha! I'd love those sheep. I wanted to get goats, but where we live we have to own 10 acres to keep livestock & we have 5. My mother has sheep (and BCs to keep them in line) and goats.
I responded to your other thread, now I see how old he is...what Lucky said is right on! A BC would just wear me out...it's good you got him neutered young. They really can be quite aggressive with other dogs as they get older, a couple of my mom's were real stinkers. Luckily she lives way out in the middle of nowhere - working dogs are never neutered in Scotland.
I bet there are some active Yahoogroups for BC fanciers. You should do a search there.

Thanks for the compliment on Katie and you're right she is still going pretty strong although she has arthritis now so she is slower now..a bit. IMHO if Murph is not displaying this aggression with other dogs then there may be something about the relationship between him and the other dog that is part of the problem apart from the fact that as mentioneed already BC's can get somewhat snippy around other dogs at times. All this assuming he is well exercised before class and has his energy released physically. The seperate classes will help too I'm sure.Perhaps he is creating pack rules with the other pup which he considers as a part of his own since he has spent time with him on his territory. At any rate, if he were my dog I'd probably try a few training sessions together at home with my neighbour and other dog where they are both expected to carry out basic commands before playing together. I might drop the whole play time on home territory anyway until the rules were straightened out. Anyway, all my personal ideas feel free to ignore it.. it's hard to guess when you can't see the dog itself so a guess it remains. You've a handsome "Border Brain" as we say
LR - I would love to have Maybelle and Maybelline however here there are by laws I have to stay within but thanks for the thought!! (it was hysterical, I'm still laughing).
I thought at first we would do flyball but my husband has decided he would rather do agility. The training school where I have Murph offer a preschool agility class so once he has completed basic puppy preschool we will enroll him in that. I'm lucky that I have two young children who need "herding" themselves every once and a while. They are also good for lots of play time. Murph has many toys for his chewing and active brain, most of them are something he has to work at.
I am surprised though that in all my research I never came across the dog aggression info so thanks to both LR and marrielle for that heads up.
Marielle - thanks so much for the guesses atleast it's something to think about.
Border collie agression
Hey there, I realize this reply is a bit late but I thought I'd post it just the same. I own a bc and have many friends who have some as well. They are well known for being dog agressive especially the females. They don't seem to have the time it takes to be social all they want to do is work work work...
As for dealing with it, well don't let the bc win, keep bringing it to dog parks and register in puppy classes and agility etc...
The less it will see other dogs the more agressive it will get.
Also, try to let it meet other dogs on it's own terms, that is don't force the issue. Off leash is best because then it has the option of leaving if it wants to. Also, my bc can only be around other dogs if she has a job to do, like fetching a ball, then she has a focus and other dogs are just an unpleasant nuisance that she has to work around, no ball means she has to think and worry about these dogs and that's when she gets nasty.
Most bc's have been bred for centuries to have low bite reflexes, or else the sheep would be wounded all the time, which is good for us, that is why they tend to nip and not bite.
I tend to let my bc tell off other dogs just because she is 7 now and has never "bitten" a dog, but she will snap and warn them off, if the other dog doesn't understand I'll leave the area (just to be safe, she has never bitten but there is always that 1st time that I don't want to occur!)
So, there is tons of info out there on the net about bc's and the best ones are often on the bc rescue sites, because they have to deal with the real situations of dogs being dumped because of their heritage which is quite sad.
Hope this answers some questions,
if you have any specific ones please let me know.
Worth the wait
Thanks so much for replying!! Besides my neighbour I know only one other person who owns a pure BC and I don't know them very well. I have been dying to talk to someone.
How old is your BC? My next question is this - if Murphy does not have his recall command down (He will still ignore me if something else, like another dog, is more interesting) is it okay to keep him on a length of rope instead of off leash? I have avoided the dog park here because it is not fenced all the way around. We also have a new friend through puppy class and have talked about getting together with the puppies, are there some guidelines I should remember when we do this? I have searched many web sites but most of them talk about BCs as dogs not puppies.
You said if I had any questions just let you know, I hope this isn't too much!!
Border collie boards
I realize this is late, but if you want good advice from experienced owners, visit this discussion board BC Boards
As for your pup focusing on just one other dog - don't let your puppy do that. It's a bad habit for a puppy to develop, and you need to get her focusing on (and working for) you.
That'll Do Border Collie Rescue
"Working Hard to Rescue and Rehome Hard Working Dogs"
I can not thank you enough for letting me know about that board! I have been searching for what seems like forever and just have never come across one specific to BC's.
When I didn't here back from woof99 I just continued to do some research. Most of it said just what you have - more doggies the better! I now make sure that Murphy spends more time with a number of puppies and dogs and have cut down on the time he spends with our neighbour's dog.
He just graduated from puupy class and started Obedience 1 today. After that it's on to agility! I have also found that because he is smart boredom sets in very quickly so we altered the way we were doing some things (how many toys were out at a time, which route we will take when walking him) and things are going great.
I do have one question - any way I can get him from nipping at my childrens pant legs and arms? We have tried the "leave it" and "off" commands and neither seem to be working. Any suggestions?
Murph's Mom
You're lucky to get info from RDM about BCs. She knows everything about them.
Oh ***** I thought I read that wrong LR
I thought you put she knows 'nothing' about them
I'm nuts
Cats only have nine lives because they stole them from dogs!Teehee
Luba, You crack me up!!!
Good to know LR!! Thanks, you never can tell. Here's hoping I hear more from her!
Murph's Mom
Murph's Mom,your back..I've missed you.
Well my sister has a border collie Abagail.Abby for short.And yes,you really need to socialize them with other dogs/puppies.It is very important for him.And they really need to keep busy.Abby used to nip especially your ankles.It's what they do when they heard.Guess it's in their blood.It's like she was hearding us.As for the off leash,as long as he is doing this,I would just keep him on a long leash for now.Untill his nipping stops.All you need is for him to do that to a dog and the dog attacks him.This way you can stop it before it's to late.What do you do or say when he starts to nip?Have you tried saying "no bite" when he does?Try that.And when he stops praise him like crazy.Keep doing that.He has to learn that he is not allowed to do that.Say it in a stern voice.As for the kids pans or arms.It takes time for them to learn a command.You can't just say it without showing them what you mean.If that made sense.LOL.
"A dog can express more with his tail in minutes than his owner can express with his tongue in hours."
Hey mona b, thanks! It's been a busy one for a while.
The nipping at our heels - that I'm used to. He responds to "off" when he's trying to herd us.
But this niping at the kids pants and arms is new - just this past week. I'm staying consistent with the "off" command when he does this and yet he will not respond. If even responds for a second we praise him lots to let him know and yet it continues. Lately we've taken to putting him on leash when this happens to control him better and keep the kids safe.
Murph's Mom
There are lots of ways to get a dog to stop biting your kids pantlegs, but it really depends on what kind of handler you are in general. For example, I'm fairly cut and dry with my dogs, so nipping gets a face grab and a stern "That'll Do" and it has stopped all my puppies.
BUT kids don't have that kind of control over pups, and they shouldn't be manhandling dogs anyway. What I have found generally works for kids is for them to immediately STOP moving the second the dog goes for the pants and completely ignore the dog no matter how he tries to get their attention. And this is something you want to set up over and over again in controlled situations. You might like to add a correction as well - for example you could maybe have him on a long light line and get the kids to run. As soon as he starts going for the pants, tell the kids to stop dead and totally ignore him, and you give him a leash correction and say "HEY" in a stern voice. As soon as he changes his focus from the pants to you, ask for a command he knows (like "sit") and then praise.
The thing is, grabbing pants is not a herding dog trait, it's a high-drive dog trait. The dog is not herding your kids, he's just being a puppy. I emphasize this because it's important to NOT let the dog get away with behaviours that you don't like because people tell you the dog is "herding." The dog isn't herding, he's chasing and nipping at your kids.
The other thing you can do is simply train the dog to lie down everytime the kids start running around him. This works really well for chornic car chasers - teach them a behaviour alternate to the one they want to engage in, that directly contradicts the undesired behaviour, because the dog cannot engage in both at the same time. If he has to lie down everytime the kids start running, he can't also chase them and bite them.
If the dog starts nipping at your kids when in general play, handle it the same way you would with a small puppy. Teach your kids to say OUCH really sharply, get up and walk away from the dog. No dog likes having attention withdrawn for them, so he will start changing his behaviour to find one that allows him to keep playing with the kids.
Finally, and this is just an unsolicited observation, remember this and make it your mantra: "once is a habit for a border collie." That means if you let him get away with ignoring a command, he's going to keep pushing the limits to see how many times he can get away with it in the future. It is so incredibly important with these dogs to set the groundwork early, which means never ever give him a command you cannot enforce, even when you are training him in early stages. I'm not suggesting you be harsh with him, but rather don't ask him to "sit" when you have your hands in the sink doing dishes, unless you are willing to take your hands out of the water, walk over to him and guide him into a sit if he ignores the command. These dogs are incredibly responsive, but they will one-up you at every turn if you let them. Stay on top of him, expect a lot and you'll get a lot.
Good luck

Thank goodness for you RDM! I have seen pictures of Piper on the BC board and boy, talk about gorgeous!
We have been sayingall along that nipping at the children was NOT a BC thing but a puppy thing and people were telling us we were wrong.
I will stick with it and definitely give the lay down command while the children are running. Any suggestions on how to get him to stay there in the beginning?

Blogger: Larry Cannell
Last night Google announced the launch of their marketplace for Google Apps. Actually, this should probably be considered a re-launch. Google has long featured partners building on their enterprise products (Google Apps and the Google Search Appliance) and as recently as 2008 launched a "Solutions Marketplace" site (checkout this page from the Wayback Machine). However, this re-launch seems to be a more concerted effort aiming to make it easier to find partners and providing new capabilities for integrating these products within the Google Apps environment (for example, using OpenID to provide cross-app single sign-on).
From a collaboration and content management perspective a renewed marketplace effort which brings in new partners could bear some fruit and be an interesting development to watch. For example, by partnering with companies like Box.net, which announced a number of integrations with Google Apps, Google is able to connect users with companies that have experience supporting the diverse needs of team (or activity-based) collaboration that go beyond document sharing.
Box's ability to create, edit, and view Google documents and spreadsheets facilitates an interesting layered approach to processes involving different levels of worker engagement. A lightweight layer where someone can simply edit a Google document or spreadsheet (which could be used to submit information) and a slightly beefier layer that enables more comprehensive collaboration (which could be used by a team that needs to make decisions or execute processes based on this input). Similar approaches have been taken in the past to enable lightweight process participation, but it is refreshing to see it emerge within a cloud-based environment as recognizable as Google Apps.

Looking for movie extra jobs in Elrod 35458 ? Then you are right place. Register today for your life changing opportunities.
10 Tips If You Are Looking For Film Extras In Elrod 35458 Casting Calls, Jobs Wanted 2017
Here are top 10 tips for you. Check out them today!
Theatrical Headshot
There is no need to spend thousands of bucks on photos only for the extra. Headshot is merely a face photo of yours if we check the meaning of the word. You can have your friend to click the picture of your face using any digital camera. Just be natural and get the hair perfectly combed and styled so that the headshot looks perfect.
Be Professional
A film set is a workplace, so it is necessary to be professional on the set. Don't try to look weird in the crowd or wandering around to get seen in the scene. It is a perfect example of being unprofessional at your work. Your work is to provide background not to get discovered among all.
Be Punctual On The Sets
It is the main thing which we have to keep in our habit in any of the jobs, i.e., be on time. Being punctual on the sets shows your keen interest in your work which can make your casting director happy.
Listen To Everything
As the process may take longer and in the middle of waiting, there may be that moment when your name gets called on the set so keep listening to the announcements made by the production team.
Wardrobe Ready
For most of the films, you need to be dressed by yourself so keep your wardrobe ready. You are solely responsible for bringing the clothes according to the scene allotted to you on that day. You may get your extra as a lawyer, businessman or a doctor so have an excellent wardrobe collection.
Don't Get Yourself Bored
The film extra casting process can take the whole day making the wait longer, so it is necessary to entertain yourself to get rid of getting bored. You can bring an iPod, or a novel to read on the set. The best way of not getting bored can be making new friends out there within the shooting team by talking to a person sitting next to you.
It happens on many of the films sets that you may get asked for the driving license, social security number and id proof. The first thing to do after arriving on the sets is to sign in. You also need to fill the payment form which is all about your daily pay rate. When the shoot gets to pack up at the end of the day, you will get the paperwork copy after sign out.
Follow The Directions
Get the correct directions to the set and make sure that you are having the number of someone from the production team in case you get wrong instructions. The film shooting can be in any area.
Don't Expect Too Much
It is one of the essential things to keep in mind. As you are there for background, don't try to plan something more. Something fortunate may happen, but the chances are slim. So just focus on your work.
Have Fun
Last but not the least, in the whole process of casting and work, just try to enjoy every moment and have fun to the fullest because it's your golden chance. Don't let it go.
That's all about films, movie extras in Elrod 35458 casting calls, Jobs Wanted etc. Hope you have enjoyed that article. Don't forget to share this article with your friends. Thank for visiting us.

DALLAS (AP) -- Together on stage, the two families who have dominated American politics for the past two decades joined Thursday to pay tribute to the opening of George W. Bush's presidential center. Whether the families will have another act -- in 2016 -- was the unspoken subtext.
President George H.W. Bush, frail and seated in a wheel chair, beamed with pride, thanking the audience for honoring "our son." President Bill Clinton, who defeated the elder Bush twenty years ago, joked that he had become the "black sheep son" of the Bush family.
George W. Bush, standing before his gleaming new center, observed that it was the "first time in American history that parents have seen their son's presidential library." Bush said his father taught him "how to be a president. Before that he showed me how to be a man."
The dedication of the red-brick library on the campus of Southern Methodist University placed a spotlight on two of the nation's most prominent political families -- and the prospect of another White House campaign involving them in 2016. Former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton accompanied her husband on stage while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush sat in the audience with his wife, Columba.
Both are considering presidential bids in three years, moves that could create unprecedented dynasties -- the first spouses to serve as president or the first brothers -- and lead to a similar event at a future library a decade or more from now.
President Barack Obama, who broke the 20-year string of either a Bush or Clinton in the Oval Office, thanked his predecessors, noting that the "world's most exclusive club" acted more like "a support group" of former presidents who help each other. Obama has his own back story with the families -- he waged a long primary race against the former New York senator in 2008, campaigned vigorously against Bush's policies and then turned to the former first lady to run the State Department. When Obama needed a re-election boost last year, Bill Clinton was there to help.
Indeed, the White House has created a bond among the families, from George H.W. Bush, who presided over the end of the Cold War but watched his popularity fade, to Bill Clinton, whose "I feel your pain" message created a connection with Americans that survived impeachment. The younger Bush, who choked up at the end of his speech here, is remembered for a bullhorn speech amid the wreckage of the 9/11 attacks in New York that was followed by draining wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that left him unpopular.
"The presidents' club is small," said Mary Matalin, a longtime adviser to the Bush family. "Only presidents who have sat behind that desk in the Oval Office know the weight of it. There's just a bond there that nobody else can understand except for a handful of people who have done it."
The families first squared off in 1992, when George H.W. Bush ran for re-election and faced Bill Clinton and independent H. Ross Perot in a riveting campaign that took place as Bush's sky-high approval dwindled following the first Iraq war.
Clinton repeatedly questioned Bush's handling of the economy while the incumbent challenged the fitness for office of Clinton and running mate Al Gore, punctuated by Bush's claim that his English springer spaniel, Millie, knew more about foreign policy "than these two Bozos."
George W. Bush served as an aide to his father's re-election campaign, giving him a close-up view of his father's defeat -- and plenty of reasons to dislike the opponent. But the harsh words quickly subsided.
When the Clintons arrived at the White House in January 1993, aides to both families said the Bush family was gracious to the new president and his family. The elder Bush avoided criticizing his successor and after Clinton's presidency, the two joined forces to raise money for victims of the devastating tsunami in Asia in 2005 and Hurricane Katrina in 2006.
Aides describe a friendship between the two ex-presidents that almost resembles a father-son relationship. Bill Clinton has visited the ailing ex-president at his homes in Houston and Kennebunkport, Maine, and first lady Barbara Bush joked in a 2012 interview with Parade Magazine that her sons refer to Clinton as their "brother by another mother."
"My mother told me not to talk too long today -- and Barbara, I will not let you down," Clinton quipped Thursday, prompting laughs from Hillary Clinton.
That friendship helped connect Clinton and George W. Bush, who campaigned for president in 2000 on restoring "honor and dignity" to the White House following Clinton's impeachment over a sex scandal. After Haiti's devastating earthquake in 2010, Obama tapped Clinton and the younger Bush to lead a relief effort.
Joshua Bolten, a former chief of staff to George W. Bush and a board member of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, recalled that on their first trip to Haiti, the presidents wore tan baseball caps emblazoned with the number 85 -- the combination of the 42nd and 43rd presidents. He said the relationship between Clinton and the elder Bush "helped open the door to a good 42 and 43 relationship."
Both families know what it's like to watch a family member face the scrutiny of a national campaign. Clinton recounted that in 2008, he and George W. Bush would talk politics by phone as Hillary Clinton sought the White House -- a time when Bush's approval ratings sank and Republicans avoided him. Clinton, standing a few feet from Obama, joked that a "chill went up and down my spine" when he learned that the Bush library's records were digitized. "Dear god I hope there is no records of those conversations."
The two families could be thrust into the spotlight once again if Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush runs for president in three years. During the 2008 campaign, Bill Clinton served as his wife's top surrogate, vouching for her abilities. In recent days, George W. Bush has encouraged his younger brother to seek the White House, saying in an interview with C-SPAN, "My first advice is: Run."
But first lady Barbara Bush appeared to disagree. Asked in an interview Thursday on NBC's "Today" show how she felt about Jeb Bush running for president, Mrs. Bush said, "We've had enough Bushes."
Recent polling has found an improving assessment of George W. Bush's presidency, a measurement which could play a factor in how Jeb Bush would be viewed in future Republican primaries. A poll released in March of registered Republicans by Quinnipiac University found Jeb Bush trailing GOP opponents such as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and Kentucky Sen. Ron Paul.
Hillary Clinton remains popular, with a Gallup poll released earlier this month showing that 64 percent had a favorable opinion of her.
The presidential trail follows both of them three years before the next election. Clinton supporters chanted her name outside her private speech in nearby Irving, Texas, on Wednesday night while Jeb Bush received encouragement to run for president during an event with a Dallas civic group. Looking to the future, Jeb Bush pointed to the nascent campaign in Texas of his 37-year-old son, George P. Bush.
"To be honest, I'm focused on the land commissioner race in 2014," Bush said with a smile.
Presidential politics can wait.

Charge blow not one, but two big leads in 95-83 loss to Reno.
Charge head coach Steve Hetzel called it "the same old story."
That's not completely true.
What was different Saturday night at Memorial Civic Center?
The Charge managed to blow not just one big lead, but two of them.
Canton's struggles to close out winnable games continued during a 95-83 loss to the Reno Big Horns. A crowd of 2,510 watched the Charge blow separate leads of 15 and 14 points to drop their third straight game.
Hetzel agreed that the Charge are running into a mental hurdle, as they've allowed big leads to evaporate recently in wins and losses alike.
"They feel like, 'Here we go again,' instead of rallying around (each other) and saying, 'Let's not let this happen again,' " Hetzel said.
Leading by 14 points early in the fourth quarter, the Charge went 11 straight possessions without a field goal.
Bo Spencer made a pretty finger roll to break the dry spell and put the Charge up 79-76. But K.C. Rivers answered with a 3-pointer for Reno to tie the score and spark a knockout-punch 19-4 run to end the game.
Reno (6-7) hadn't come back from a double-digit deficit to win this season, let alone come back from two of them in the same game.
"Typically in the D-League, the more aggressive team wins," Reno head coach Joel
Abelson said.
"We were more aggressive. And that comes from getting multiple stops and getting out in transition. It kind of builds on itself."
Canton made three of its last 19 field goal attempts and committed six turnovers during the final 11 minutes. All told, it was a 33-7 closing run by Reno.
"We can't match their aggressiveness when they amp their energy up," Hetzel said. "We struggled to score and execute. It was a very bad fourth quarter. A very bad display of poise and execution on our part."
Canton's ugly fourth quarter was the lowlight in an ugly game in which it registered season worsts of 83 points and 37.5 percent shooting.
"I can say what great defense we played, but they missed some shots," Abelson said. "That's just part of the deal. I don't think they got tight. It's just the game of basketball."
Rivers' 17 points led seven Big Horns scoring in double figures. He made 3-of-6 3-pointers to lead Reno's 10-of-23 effort from deep.
Canton (8-4) led by as many as 15 in the first half when Cavs assignee Sergey Karasev knocked down a 3-pointer with 3:05 left.
But the Charge missed their final six field-goal attempts. Reno, despite 15 first-half turnovers, narrowed its deficit to 44-37 at the break.
Karasev scored 12 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He totaled four steals and two blocked shots.
Kevin Jones totaled team highs of 17 points and eight rebounds to lead Canton.
Asked what the next step is in fixing the leaky end of games, Hetzel said, "Finding the right combination of players that can handle the pressure, that can execute under stress. You can go the whole game and build 15-point leads, but the buzzer doesn't sound when you go up 15. We have to play through that."

In the last days of Hurricane Sandy recovery on the East Coast, I set off from my motel room in exile for a celebratory night at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art/Society of Illustrators in NYC. The subject was the life and work of the comics phenomenon Will Eisner, complete with a screening of the excellent documentary Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist, directed by Andrew B. Cooke, including a delicious fall-flavored catered dinner.
It was a lovely evening, despite the howling Nor'easter setting in. In fact, the weather gave the city a feel reminiscent of the noir atmosphere of THE SPIRIT comics for which Eisner is best known. Hearing from comics veterans and educators Danny Fingeroth and Paul Levitz about one of their own personal heroes was also very enlightening, particularly since Levitz was responsible for bringing Eisner's SPIRIT into DC collected editions for the first time. I reviewed both the documentary, and the evening's event here for The Beat.
By the time the weekend rolled around, I was finally back into my house following 13 days of evacuation and power outages from the hurricane, and the 8 inches of snow dumped on New Jersey had melted too. I didn't want to miss the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival, since I hadn't yet attended, but took a more circumspect attitude as a face in the crowd that day, just trying to get a feel for the event's goals and aims compared to other indie comics events I'd witnessed and enjoyed in 2012. There was, however, one big draw that got me out of bed early: hearing Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, and Richard McGuire talk about "The Architecture of Comics" in a panel moderated by Bill Kartalopoulos.
I waited in a crowd of fans and enthusiasts to see all these comics greats in conversation, and it was well worth the effort. Spiegelman was in top form, dealing out off-beat wit and wisdom, and praising the self-effacing Chris Ware about his new work BUILDING STORIES while talking about his own development as a sequential narrative storyteller. You can find my extensive coverage of the panel for The Beat, here.
The Festival itself was energetic, powerful, crowded, and ,to me, brought out a unique vein of comics production for the public to sift through. More than Small Press Expo, there was a distinct feeling of locality and underground production in the work. It was more edgy, more punk, if you will, and had its own unique vibe. I caught up with Dean Haspiel and Jay Lynch at the Toons table, and had some nice chats with Jim Salicrup of Papercutz who was there as a fan himself.
That evening, I had a welcome comixy focused meal with Dean Haspiel, Heidi MacDonald of PW and The Beat, Jim Salicrup, and a hearty group of Dean Haspiel's students from his recent teaching gig at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida. Not only were they a lot of fun to get to know, but I was treated to insights into the character and comic SHIFTYGOTH, a new multi-contributor project taking wings online, and particularly through Facebook.
[Shiftygoth being Shiftygoth]
My venture to Brooklyn provided yet another piece of the indie comics puzzle, helping me create my first year's impressions of where creator owned work in comics has come from and what's on the way given the veritable explosion of indie shows in recent years. I'd highly recommend attending BCGF if you want to see diversity in comics, hand-made work, and just want to hang out with comics people devoted to their craft.

Hooksett police say man locked his keys inside car before shoplifting trip
August 21. 2013 8:35AM
HOOKSETT – A shoplifter made it out of K-Mart with some stolen goods Tuesday night, but had to leave his car behind when he discovered he locked his keys inside it, police said.
Nickolas Messier, 29, of Allenstown, was later arrested by Allenstown police and brought back to the Hooksett Police Department.
He is charged with felony-level willful concealment and being a convicted felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, a large knife that police said was in his car.
The incident happened about 7:20 p.m. at K-Mart on Hooksett Road. Police said Messier left the store through the garden center without paying for some electronic items.
Employees watched as he tried to put the stolen goods in his car, but he couldn't because he had locked his keys inside it, according to police. He fled, leaving the car behind.
What's next: Messier is being held at the Merrimack County jail in Boscawen pending arraignment Wednesday in 6th Circuit Court, Hooksett District Division.

Whether this is staged or not and I feel it is. The Golden Retriever has been trained to respond as a rescue in this situation. This dog would save a human too. Remember the dog didn't know if it was staged or not! I have a pool and 3 Poms with 1 Boxer. I tend to feel my Boxer would do whatever it took if this happened at our house. Yes my Boxer swims!
I agree. It could have been a training session. That puppy was in no danger of drowning unless it was alone and unable to get out of the pool. In that case it would have swam around and around the edge of the pool until it drown or found the steps out. I think it's neat that they've trained their dog to be a rescue dog.
love it!!
Yes, they should have!!!!!
That's what I was thinking, too. I would've been in the pool rather than watching it unfold. just saying
that was my first response 🙁
YES who ever was taping shoudl have helped my lord, If it was a child or toddler they would have threw the camera down to help!!
The momma dog wasn't happy with her pup.
totally love it…. but really…who has a puppy in their backyard, sees it fall in the pool and doesn't drop the camera????
I would have THROWN down the camera and jumped in to pull her out.
It's awesome how the momma dog saves her pup..BUT whoever filmed this is heartless..Put the camera down and save the pup!
Yea! Poor puppies!
awwwwwwwwwww… :'D
At least there was someone nearby when it did happen… 90% of the time, nobody is around and things tend to go in the other direction rather than the happy ending way.
amazing !!! I loved it so much !!
From what I've heard, because I refuse to watch it, is it's evident the pup was thrown in. Why in the world would you want to do that to the pup, and stress out the mother. Cruel!
I agree 100%. The cameraman is a show off. The puppy was thrown in for the purpose of showing how well he trained his dog at the puppy's expense. He should be reported for animal abuse.
no, the dog saved the pup quicker than any human could have, come on people, lighten up alittle, 😀
The puppy looked safe the whole time, it wasn't going under and was prob 10 seconds from getting itself out.
No that dog knew what is was doing, it prolly happened before so they taped it?
I think some jumped the gun, dogs can swim by nature and it was just cute to see momma pup helping him out of the pool 🙂
I agree with you Cynthia.
The first comments were like "how cute!" and then someone mentions "the puppy was thrown in to make a video!" and it goes crazy from there!
The puppy was doing fine AND he is a lab AND the mother was right there.
I'm quite sure if the person video taping saw the puppy going under, they would have jumped in and saved him – but no need to!
that is everyone's response…makes me think it was all staged
She does deserve some serious credit for that save. Agreed!
Why do I get the idea that some people will do anything to get some attention by putting whatever they can on a video and upload it? So much drama, no real story to know what is really going on, is there?
Someone should never of threw that baby in the water!! Didn't look to me that the fell in looks thrown..
I was wondering exactly that after seeing this on a friend's page today. I couldn't watch this go on without taking action.
Yup, put the camera down. Forget about making a video that may make the news.
It doesn't seem as though it went on long enough to warrant beating up the cameraman for not helping. Mama Dog acted quickly and seemed to know just what to do. Smart dog!
selam bayanlar sekse nedersinis
I'm guessing this happened before acidentally, and someone thought it was a good idea to make it happen again and pick the camera. Disgusting.
I am curious as to whether or not that puppy was tossed in.
Genio!!! no lo dudaste!!! cada día amo a los perros!!! tendría un campo (y mucho dinero) para tener a todos los que andan tirados por ahí.
that puppy wasn't drowning. and if it HAD been in actual trouble they could have dropped the camera. If you watch, when the big dog swam around to the steps to get out of the pool, the little dog never even went under water.
Yes, they should have put the camera down and got the puppy out.
That was actually my reaction. I would have been in that pool before mama even got out of the water to help. If you can get past that though, it's a testament to a mother's unconditional love.
I'm sorry .. but if there was a pup in my pool .. the video camera wouldn't have had a chance to be turned on because I would have been in the pool before the dog could have jumped in! Christopher – I'm sorry but this is not something to lighten up about .. it's called animal abuse!
I was thinking the exact same thing….. geez.
Yes, but they still couln't have betten this canine hero to the pull. Kudos canine king of the kiddy pool!
Please throw the one with the camera into the pool!!!!!
amazing dog!
That was my thought exactly… I know I wouldn't have been holding a camera, but there's no telling whether if this is the first or fifteenth time this pup jumped in the pool to get 'saved'. Cute vid nevertheless. 🙂
This video doesn't interest me, purely because it never should have turned into one 🙂 if the person holding the camera had a heart they would have saved the puppy & not enjoyed filming the mother & her pup being so distressed :-)?
I think she did a great job at rescuing the pup.. <3
Watch it again someone threw the puppy in the pool the puppy landed about midway they should have not thrown the puppy in the pool
I don't know how they didn't just drop the camera without even thinking…. unless this is something that kept happening and they knew what what the outcome was going to be….
i agree..i think it was all STAGED
Just goes to prove that you can't fix stupid – but I am grateful that the mother dog was able to take care of business – can we say "Stupid Human Tricks"?!
She dragged him way out like "I cant believe you did that your a bad boy!"…..lol i am just glad the poor little thing didnt drown
It's also better to let the little one learn so if she ever fell in when noone was around she wouldn't drown.
I have a feeling the dog was trained to do this? hhmmm
It seemed more "staged" to me. My feeling was the "mom" dog has been in training for this.
Heck yes he/she should have put the camera down!
everyone needs to breathe and chill out, just sayin'
Absolutely! Kudos to mom for sure, but sad to think the idiot with the Camera would let this mom and pup be scared and panic needlessly. It is obvious the Camera was not stationary either. I would hate to think they staged it for their "15 minutes of fame".
looked liek she'd been trained for this — the puppy was not "drowning" and the dog did what she'd been trained to do. this wasn't a spontaneous event.
Should someone have not thrown the puppy in to have something to film?
Great dog. Shame about the people who filmed this rather than going to help 🙁
That was my first thought – that mom was clearly looking around for help. What if she wasn't able to pull him out, would that cameraman/woman have waited til the puppy drowned before helping? or not at all? just a thought
can you say over reaction…….
that is so cool!
He was not even drowning. He was swimming across the pool.
Hermoso gesto, inspirador.
Put down the camera for what? the dog could obviously swim the only problem it was having was pulling itself up.
Awww..So nicely done..:)
Awesome video!! Go momma!
once again i am shown why i like animals way more than humans!
no one should ever throw ananimal especially a baby in the water,, you will et the animal afraid of water,cause it to break a bone(unabl to be in control of its body) and its just plain stupidy abuse,,WTF is wrong with humans,,,thus why they say animals are smarter than humans!!! whoever did this is obviously brain dead!!!!
Someone should have put down the camera. That puppy was scared.
Was definitely thrown in…a video camera happened to be on??? I have a pool & I've jumped in to help several ADULT dogs that got spooked by slipping in or thinking it was more shallow. Dislike!
I would not have hesitated for a second — I would have dropped the darn thing and been over there helping!!!
no,I think momma dog handled it just fine!
Hmmm, good question.
It looks like the dog was trained to rescue and this video is simply demonstrating that skill. I don't think the puppy was really in danger.
Good momma!!!
The puppy was doing pretty good for itself, actually…at least in the length of this clip. I believe if it went under, the camera person would have just gone & scooped it out. But, like I said, for the time period captured, the "lifeguard" was doing fine!
Good point and yes I think so.
I think it was kids and they put the puppy in the water to see what the Mom would do. You can kind of hear them in the back ground. Pathetic whatever the circumstances. Dogs deserve better than someone filming the possible drowning!!!
yes, I couldn't just stand by with the camera. and did those people throw the puppy in at the beginning???
I wonder if they purposely threw the puppy in, just to film it.
i would have put the camera down..just sayin..
Jordan, are you serious? The dog could swim but couldn't pull itself up???? YEA so put down the camera & help it get out, dogs don't drown due to not knowing how to swim its due to exhaustion not being able to get out, god people are stupid
thank God the dog rescued that poor pup!!! WTF cameraperson!!! put the camera down and go save the pup!!! WTF is wrong with u???
Interesting point about it looking like the dog was trained to do this. I wonder if it was trained so that it could help a child the same way if it saw it struggling…?
I think the momma dog had it under control, and if you are gonna have a pool in your yard I believe you should teach your dog to swim because if they fall in and you are not home who will save them? So they should learn how to swim for sure. I do not see anything wrong here and I do not see that the dog is in danger, the mom was there and I don't think the people would of let the puppy drown either.
After having a friend's blind cocker drown, we taught ours to swim out of the pool…we only had ladders so we wanted her to know how to climb them…we threw her in many times to simulate falling in till she learned to swim to the ladder…years later, Cassie lost her vision and fell in one nite when we let her out and yes, she was able to get out without vision…not saying this is what this owner was doing..but there are so many worse and horrible things happening to dogs and cats….let's focus on real cruelty…
I would have jumped in the pool. Even if it was stagged why would someone do that to the poor puppy and the mom?? Thank goodness for the mom!!
The family that staged this are guilty. They are holding the Mother dog back while they throw the pup in the pool, start to film, they let go of the Momma dog (who is so stressed out) from behind the bush, finally grabs her pup and continues to pull the pup away from the people more then away from the pool. She is victimized to a cruel video. There are sick people. On a positive, more people were embraced to a heart felt story and wanted to share. Animals lovers & Positive people Rock.
I agree totally
whoa!!! beast dog!
I have to agree with all the ppl saying "staged". No one helped because the pup was never in real danger. Now tossing the pup into the pool like that… not so funny.
breathe, serena
The dog was never in danger, it was never drowning, for pete's sake. You just have to watch the video to see that.
Sure, it looks like it was tossed in but it swam to the other side just fine. It did have trouble getting out, but again, it was never in danger as the other dog was already involved in the situation at that point.
It looks like someone threw the puppy in the pool. The puppy couldn't jump in and land in the middle of the pool.
Omg thought the same thing when i saw the first post
I don't even care that the puppy "wasn't drowing" like some people's justification is. I would have dropped my camera and run over there regardless. Both dogs are completely stressed out by the situation (which seems to be escaping some people) and the only positive about the whole thing is that the adult dog was amazing. If I was ever at someone's house and they thought this was okay, we would have had words after I ran over to help the puppy. The fact that the puppy may have been able to pull itself up eventually is irrelevant. How long would the camera person have waited to help? Would you like someone to put your child in a pool and sit back to watch you struggle to get the child out…yeah, I didn't think so.
Actually, I bet mama gave that lil pup a shove into the water…. he is a lab right, or a retriever??
Yes – so sad someone let this poor little dog struggle to get out. Obviously the big one has been trained to do this as a trick – but sad that it had to occur.
it looks like both dogs were trained to do what we see on the tape
why did someone feel the need to video this and not help?

MAJOR talks over the future running of Castle Point Council have broken down.
The council faces months of uncertainty and slow decision making as it looks set to be run by the Conservative Party, which doesn't have a majority.
Negotiations for a coalition, in which all parties elected to the council would take part in running it, fell through last week when they had barely begun.
The Canvey Island Independent Party and Ukip have slammed the Tory party for being "divided" after its leadership election, which saw Colin Riley and Bill Sharp installed as leader and deputy by just two and three votes respectively.
Former deputy council leader Jeffrey Stanley had been favourite to take over.
Ukip county councillor Jamie Huntman, who acts as spokesman for his party's borough councillors, said: "We won't be entering into a coalition with the Conservatives.
"They had a meeting the other day where they elected a new leader and there are unhappy people within their group. It's best for us to stay outside that."
Dave Blackwell, leader of the Canvey Independent group, said: "I've spoken to Tories who are totally unhappy with what's going on in their party.
"We're not prepared to enter into a coalition that might blow up in a couple of months."
Responding to claims a minority administration could struggle to get anything voted through the council chamber he added: "If they put forward policies that we feel will be for the benefit of the whole community, we will support them.
"We're not going to be a group that goes in there to cause destruction."
However, Mr Riley denied there was an issue in his group.
He said: "It's unfortunate if Dave Blackwell and (Ukip leader on the borough council) Alan Bayley are making it difficult by saying they're not prepared to work with us.
"It's just unfortunate. We're not going to let that stop us.
"I and Bill Sharp were elected in an open and democratic process.
"We're not divided, they're trying to scare people. We are all Conservatives and we're definitely not divided."
He added an administration needed to be formed soon to get work going on the council again.
He said: "I can't speak too much about the future until we meet all Conservative members on Monday evening.
"The planning committee is so far behind, we've got to get it up and running again."
Following the election, Castle Point Council is now made up of 20 Conservatives, 16 Canvey Independent Party members and five Ukip councillors, meaning no one party has overall control.

Also, it's my personal theory that Maria being the first to notice the smell of Kinzo's burning body in EP1 is just a huge elaborate "The First One Who Smelt It Dealt It." Kinzo's already dead, so she didn't murder him. She just stuffed his body into an incinerator :3

Well, the randomness isn't something we thought up, it's just something we've observed over the 6 twilights. Someone has a plan to fake the twilights, but they haven't properly chosen the victims before the game starts. The end up choosing the victims on the first night around around 10pm - 12am.
As Judoh said before, it seems they choose the people loitering around in the halls. They may be able to choose small groups of people too (like Rosa + Maria), and in the event everyone in the mansion is totally busy to 3am like in EP5, they resort to the guest house.
There is some justification for the 3 groups since it aligns with the 3 conspiracies we have seen so far. The servants (as i call them the Beatrice faction), the Blackmail-Krauss faction (lead by Eva) and the Anti-Inheritance (or Pretend-Kinzo-is-Alive faction, led by Natsuhi and Krauss, maybe.)
Of course some people seem to be part of two factions (like Rosa) or have their own secret factions, etc, etc...

I just thought...
Why are there no gunshot noises? Take the first twilight in ep 3, for instance. Someone apparently went around the mansion shooting all the servants (or tricking them, or whatever). Wouldn't the cracking of the gun be quite... noticable to anyone awake? In addition, wouldn't it wake anyone still asleep?
Same for the first FT (assuming that was done with a gun) and the entire 4th episode (wouldn't he at least hear distant shots?).

The noise really has been a problem though and that's one reason why Renall suggested someone brought a pistol to the island. The winchesters are just too loud. You might be able to get away with that in some cases, but episode 4 is problematic.
There are also ways to make homemade silencers, but it's very illegal even here in America.
EDIT: Then again sawing off a winchester like that is illegal here too. It might not be too out there.

In a sense Battler "killed her" in the game before that. I don't want to go into all the stuff Bern said about that to Battler again. We know that the Beatrice Piece is not in play anymore in chiru though.

The winchesters, if real, wouldn't be legal not even with a license, since all kind of handgun and rifles are prohibited. The use of guns as a self-defense measure is not contemplated.

But even if it's illegal, criminal organizations are known to possess guns even automatic.
In umineko we know that all Kasumi's men possess guns. and Juuza must possess some kind of heavy weaponry as well, probably a sniper rifle. It's certainly not something that you can get easily in japan. He must have several contacts in the black market.

Kyrie eloped with Rudolf and disgraced the family name. As Ange narrated they would have killed her for shaming them, but something happened (implied to be a money deal) that let her off the hook. She clearly loves Rudolf (to a scary point) and her children, plus she gets along with the rest of the family very well. I just don't see her doing something like working for a family that hates her - she only keeps contact with her father, who is also ostracized from the family.

By the way, when I said killed 'Beatrice' I was referring to the human pretending to be Beatrice and not meta-Beatrice.

...and yet something feels incomplete.
There aren't any scenes telling us on what terms Rudolf was with Kinzo except the general awe and fear they all feel towards him, but it feels to me that Rudolf was getting away with a lot more stuff than Krauss ever even tried.
But Kyrie had to have been exiled from Sumadera when she got pregnant out of marriage. For twelve years after that she was still not Rudolf's wife. Which essentially means that Rudolf somehow got Kinzo to pay for his woman, a woman of good breeding and certainly fitting to be the wife of an Ushiromiya on any account, and then married a nobody anyway, and I doubt he would be able to get away with that. Even parents who spoil their children like there's no tomorrow would get seriously annoyed with their gifts being spurned.
There must be something more to that particular bit in the story.

You could make a silencer, I guess... but silencers wouldn't fully drown out the sound of such a loud rifle. A silenced pistol could do the job, but then where is it? None of the guests seemed to have a chance to smuggle anything in, so it'd probably have to be in Kinzo's collection.

The problem with a silencer like that on the Winchester in particular is that it's a) hard to keep on the sawed-off gun, b) won't last more than a few shots before it starts cracking apart, to eventually blow up into your face, and, well, c) None of the Ushiromiyas or their servants show any technological aptitude to make one. Problem "a" doesn't exist in case of a .45 derringer, but the other problems remain.
Oh, and if you tried to shoot a .410 cartridge with one it would definitely blow up into your face the moment pellets would get caught on the edges.
Mind you, that does not actually preclude Ryukishi from thinking that the sound of the shots cannot be heard through walls and because of the rain, we just don't know. Unfortunately nobody ever hears a legitimate shot from a sufficient distance for us to tell if that is the case.

Well, they hear the Natsuhi shot in ep1... and that's about all I can think of in terms of gunshot noises :/.
She was just in the next room though.
Come to think of it, lack of noise in general is a problem for a lot of the killings. Kumasawa's scream when she finds Kanon in the boiler room is heard quite some way away, but wouldn't you expect, say, Eva to scream when someone advances on her with a stake?
