Claude Harley Reagan
The Reagans are notorious in Lubbock as storytellers. Local residents consider them among the best liars Lubbock has ever produced, which in itself is no small feat.
(Quote taken from Harley Reagan's authorized biography)
Claude Harley "Swiftdeer" Reagan who also goes by the names "ThunderStrikes," "Swifthorse," Harley Tarantini, and his Indian name Unhua Oskenonton Anikawi is a martial arts teacher, Native American new age guru, and sex therapist who teaches a self created "Native American" style of martial arts called Chulukua-Ryu in Scottsdale Arizona. Reagan also teaches self-defense classes, wilderness survival, firearms training, rape prevention, and sexual assault counseling.
His parent organization the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society claims to have branches in The United States, Australia, Canada, Austria, England, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. Acording to Swiftdeer, his organization has around seventy-five schools all across the globe and an estimated 5,000 followers. Reagan also claims a lengthy list of accomplishments and accolades. He states that he is a Vietnam War veteran, a Cherokee Indian, a former police officer, a world Jiu-Jitsu Champion (1967 to 1970), an alternate on the 1964 United States Olympic Judo Team (fourth place), a wizard, new age healer, rape survivor, shape shifter, and sorcerer.
With this many accomplishments, his time does not come cheap. His sexual education seminars, which he calls "Quodoushka Workshops" cost 1,200 dollars, and his five-day self-defense seminar cost 525 dollars, as do his firearms training seminars.
However little of what Reagan claims stands up to scrutiny.

Reagan's Military Record
Harley Reagan claims that in May 1958 the United States Air Force Academy accepted him as a cadet. In June of the same year, he reported to the Air Force Academy but by May 1959, he left after problems with excessive masturbation. On 1 June 1959, he joined the United States Marine Corps. The Marines send him to Boot Camp in San Diego after which he did four tours in Vietnam starting in 1960. His first combat was in Taiwan against communist guerrillas. Now if you were reading carefully you noticed that Reagan claims that his first taste of action was not in Vietnam but in Taiwan. Reagan's authorized biographer writes that in 1960 Reagan first saw combat while battling communist forces over control of a Taiwanese village. During the battle, Reagan uncovered this grisly scene, "Someone had taken a pregnant Taiwanese woman, thirteen of fourteen years of age, and stripped her nude. They had stuck a sharpened stake in the ground and then shoved that stake up through her vaginal passage, all the way up through her bowels, and out the top of her head. The front of her was sliced open from chest to crotch, the child taken out and rammed down on the point of the stake at the top of her head. The cord was still connected." In response to this atrocity, Reagan charged out of the tent and promptly machined gunned four "gook" prisoners and assaulted a Taiwanese officer that tried to stop him. While not killing prisoners, Reagan found time to take a communist held strong point and earn a Bronze Star.
However, there was no communist insurgency in Taiwan in the early 1960s. Therefore, Reagan could not have been involved anything that approaches the level of carnage portrayed in his biography. Usually you need a war to have a war story…
In 1964, Reagan claims that he returned to Vietnam for his third tour of duty. So at least we have the right country now. However, Reagan is as poor with places as he is with dates. A quick check of history will tells us that President Johnson first deployed the Marines to Vietnam in 1965 and nowhere does Reagan claim to have been an "advisor" to the South Vietnamese army nor do any of his war stories infer that he was anything but a Marine serving in an infantry unit.
The Battle of Bloody Heart/Operation Raincoat (spring 1967)
In the spring of 1967 during Reagan's fourth tour of duty in Vietnam, he claims that he earned a Silver Star and at least one Purple Heart in an engagement he calls The Battle of Bloody Heart. Reagan states that a U.S. force of 270 solders was given the mission of attacking a communist held village that controlled a strategically important bridge. The task force was comprised of Marines, Navy Seals, and Army Special Forces. Also involved was a company of South Vietnamese Regulars and a small group of Laotian Natives troops. However, a battalion and a half of North Vietnamese Regulars ambushed the American/allied forces. In the ensuing battle, the fighting was so fierce that only seventeen American solders survived. In addition, the NVA whipped out an entire Navy Seal team sent down the river to secure the bridge. Of the survivors, three Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded, one Legion of Merit, five Silver Stars, and every other survivor received the Bronze Star. The North Vietnamese wounded Harley Reagan three times and he received the Silver Star for his actions that day.
One would assume that such a bloody battle, a battle in which a handful of tough marines survived a hopeless situation, a battle in which three solders earned the CMA, would be recorded in the pages of history. But you would be wrong. I could turn up no record of "The Battle of Bloody Heart." After an extensive search, I did find one reference to an Operation Raincoat. However, this operation did not occur during the Vietnam War. In fact, Operation Raincoat was a battle in World War II. It occurred in Italy in late 1942 early 1943.
Therefore, it appears that the major battles in which Reagan received his awards are nothing more than the product of Reagan's overactive imagination.
Final Action in Vietnam
Despite being wounded three times in the spring of 1967, Reagan was back in action by 14 June 1967. According to Reagan's biographer, while on a mission to strike a target in Laos (Lang Vei) communist forces struck the helicopter Reagan was riding in with a surface to air missile. The Helicopter exploded in a violent fireball. Luckily, the explosion threw Reagan clear. He fell 300 feet to the jungle floor, landed on his feet, and then collapsed.
After the fall, Reagan was in a comatose state for 21 days. He was first treated in Vietnam but was moved to Bethesda Naval Hospital on 10 July 1967. On 21 July, he awoke from his coma but remained at the hospital until his release on March of 1968. On 21 December 1969 Reagan was given an honorable discharge from the Marines. His final rank was Sergeant.
To help clear up matters I contacted Dr Richard Allen. Dr Allen has handled complaints for the Cherokee Nation about Harley "Swiftdeer" Reagan for more than a decade. He stated that the Marine Military Awards Branch had no record of ever awarding a Harley Reagan any commendations. I then contacted Mr. Jarrett an archivist at the National Personal Records Center (Military and Personal Records) about Harley Reagan's military service. He informed me that they had no military record pertaining to a Harley Reagan. Upon further request, Mr. Jarrett ran a search with the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The FBI turned up no record that Harley Reagan ever served in the military; to say nothing of active military service in Vietnam, multiple medals, or lengthy hospitals stays at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
Martial Arts Claims
Harley Reagan makes many claims about his martial arts background. His claims include, but are not limited to…
- He has studied martial arts since he was a boy
- Asked to join the Air Force Judo Team
- Taught hand-to-hand combat for the Marines
- An alternate member of the United States Olympic Judo Team in 1964
- World Jiu-Jitsu Champion 1967 - 1970
- Holds a black belt in 14 different martial art styles
- And is the creator of Chulukua-Ryu, a Native American martial arts system that looks surprisingly like Kodokan Judo
I began by checking Reagan's judo claims. According to Reagan, he represented the United States in the 1964 Olympic Games as an alternate on the Judo team. Supposedly, he competed and placed fourth. However, a quick check of Judoinfo.org proves that Harley Reagan was not on the 1964 US Judo Team.
Keep in mind that according to his war stories, he spent 1964 in Vietnam.
Regan also claims that he received his Judo promotions, 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree Black Belts, directly through the United States Judo Association and the United States Judo Federation.
I wrote to both organizations to check the validity of these claims. The USJF stated that Harley Reagan has not received any promotions through their organization. The USJA told me that they do have a record of Harley Reagan who achieved the rank of Shodan in October of 1970. However, they have no record of him achieving a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, degree Black Belt in their organization.
Therefore, the information provided by the USJA and the USJF conflict with the claims made by Reagan.
Military Hand-to-Hand Combat Teacher
According to Reagan, between fighting communists in Taiwan, and falling out of helicopters, he found time to teach hand-to-hand combat for the United States Marine Corps. However, since the FBI and the National Personal Records Center have no record of a Harley Reagan then it is highly doubtful that he taught hand-to-hand combat for the armed forces
Jiu-Jitsu Champion 1967 – 1970
Oh, what a tangled web we weave…
At this point, his own lies begin to trip him up. Reagan's website states that he was a World Jiu Jitsu Champion from 1967 to 1970, but Reagan's authorized biography states that Reagan spent 14 June 1967 to 21 July 1967 in a comatose state after falling 300 feet from an exploding helicopter. Moreover, according to his own biography, Reagan was released from Bethesda Naval Hospital in March of 1968. Therefore, Reagan's stories begin to contradict each other. Either he was in the hospital recovering from wounds received in Vietnam or competing in Jiu Jitsu, he could not be doing both.
Education…or lack thereof
To help bolster his authority to teach his new age Native American sexuality seminars Harley Reagan claims that he is in fact Dr. Reagan. Supposedly, sometime in the early 1970s Reagan received a PhD in psychology from The Pacific Cultural Institute for Advanced Studies in Hollywood. However according to the California Department of Postsecondary Education no such organization exists, or has ever existed.
Harley Reagan in the News
In November of 1988, the magazine Karate/Kung Fu Illustrated fell for Reagan's lies and published an article about his Native American martial art.
Reagan was also the subject of an article entitled Sacred Organism, which appeared in the pages of the Phoenix New Times.
The Just Plain Weird
Harley Reagan makes many strange claims on his website and in his biography. In order to share with you the wild world that "Swiftdeer" Reagan inhabits I will include a few of his more outrageous claims.
Harley Reagan claims to be a wizard, and a shape shifter. While not shape shifting, Reagan found time to conduct Black Ops for the NSA and the CIA. He has claimed to be a former law enforcement officer and the reincarnation of Billy the Kid. In addition, Reagan has stated that Native Americans are really the decedents of aliens from the planet Oiricanwiyah.
Finally, that he is a member of an organization called the Twisted Hairs. Supposedly, this group meets every four years since 1254 B.C. Did I mention that they meet in the fifth dimension?
And last but not least...
According to the Cherokee Nation, Harley "Swiftdeer" Reagan is not even a Native American. He is not on the roles and is not in any way a member of the Cherokee Nation. This helps explain why Reagan shows a shocking lack of knowledge about Cherokee history and tradition. The fact that Harley Reagan is in no way a Native American destroys his authority to teach his made up Native American Martial Arts or run his new age cult. Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller even considered suing Reagan for slandering the Cherokee Nation with his comments about Cherokee Fire Women.
Harley Reagan is a fraud on multiple levels. He is not a Cherokee, he has falsified much of his martial arts experience, his military record, and his educational background. Reagan uses this fabricated background to charges people over five hundred dollars to attend his martial arts seminars, and up to 1,200 dollars for his sexual workshops.

Ed Murray, Mayor
SUBJECT: Sports arena ruling upheld by appeals court
Kimberly Mills (206) 684-8602
The Washington State Court of Appeals, Division 1, on Monday dismissed the appeal of a lower court decision that held the agreement among the City, King County and Chris Hansen to build a $490 million sports arena did not violate state environmental laws, as the International Longshore & Warehouse Union Local 19 claimed.
"The city and county remain free to change course," the 3-0 decision stated. "The memorandum of understanding does not commit them to action. In summary, the trial court properly concluded that the memorandum of understanding is not an 'action' within the meaning of SEPA and judicial review is not available."
King County Superior Court Judge Douglass A. North issued his ruling from the bench after oral arguments from the three parties on Feb. 21.
"Our office has worked hard to ensure that the review process for the proposed arena complies with SEPA," City Attorney Pete Holmes said. "I am pleased that the court agrees with us."

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|No Love Lost (cont.)
Even though the game instructs you on how to fire your weapon while riding a motorcycle, don't bother. Instead, continue to follow the biker boyfriend until he meets up with his friends. Then, follow them for just a little bit longer until they turn left and enter Meadows Park. But don't pursue them with the bike. Instead, jack a burly vehicle from the adjacent road -- like the SUV in some of the pictures below -- that can stand up to a good beating and some gunfire before exploding. Then, pursue the bikers.
The group of five bikers will split into two groups. One group, closer to the road, is made up of two bikers armed with pistols, and the second group of three bikers is located further in the park, armed with automatic weapons. Take them out in that order, preferably using your car as your primary (and preferably only) weapon. Only get out of the car if the conditions permit it, using it as a shield between you and any surviving gunners. Also, take out the groups one at a time so you don't get in over your head. When all five foes are killed, collect their weapons and any money dropped. Then, Niko will call Faustin and let him know of the success.

The Style dropdown menu displays the available Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) you can choose from to implement styling in HTML:
CSS styles can be made available for text, images, and tables. If you want to set or change the CSS style for specific text, select and choose a CSS style from the dropdown menu in the toolbar.
If you place the cursor inside a paragraph that has CSS styles applied to only certain parts of it, and then select a style from the drop-down menu, the CSS style will be set for all the words in the paragraph, except for the ones that already had a style defined.
If you place the cursor inside a word within a paragraph, and that word has a CSS style set (Style A), and then apply a new style (Style B), all the words in that paragraph formatted with Style A will switch to Style B formatting (all these words were included in the same CSS style tag - a <SPAN> tag). This feature saves time because you don't have to repeatedly select text and apply styles within a paragraph.
Tip For predictable text appearance and efficient HTML, try not to make repeated style changes to a particular section of text. Repeated style changes create overly-complex HTML code and can produce unexpected display results in the Mozilla/Firefox browser. To manage the CSS styles more efficiently, use the Tag Selector to easily select and remove unnecessary <SPAN> tags (corresponding to already-set CSS styles) from the code.

Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories and novels collectively entitled, La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the 1815 fall of Napoleon. Due to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multifaceted characters, who are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. His writing influenced many subsequent novelists such as Marcel Proust, Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gustave Flaubert, Benito Pérez Galdós, Marie Corelli, Henry James, William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Italo Calvino, and philosophers such as Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx. Many of Balzac's works have been made into or have inspired films, and they are a continuing source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and critics.-wikipedia

Sweet Designs by Amy Atlas
You guys, I have some guilt about Amy Atlas's newish book. I should have showed it to you ages ago. On the other hand, I've had some time to live with it and page through it (over and over), and now that the holidays are coming up, I feel that this is just the right time to return to this gorgeous, fun, genuinely helpful book. Atlas is the queen of the color-coordinated dessert buffet, a much-beloved staple of Pinterest and wedding receptions, (she calls herself a "sweets stylist) — and this book shows you how to achieve these sweet party showstoppers yourself. And you know what? It actually makes it look easy.
Amy Atlas is a New York City-based party planner and stylist who has become well-known for her ultra-coordinated, playfully themed dessert tables. She has spawned many imitators, but I always find a sense of play and joy in her original designs, both of which help to balance out what could feel like an overly-constructed, ostentatious display of desserts.
This book shows you how to recreate 14 of her designs, from a poppy orange zigzag table, to a pastel party, to a bee-themed dessert spread, to a swanky layout for a movie night. Each section gives recipes for the treats featured, along with instructions for decorations, labels, tags, flowers, and everything else to get the look.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Amy Atlas
• Who published it: Hyperion
• Number of recipes: Over 100, plus over 75 craft projects
• Recipes (and projects) for right now: Spooktacular Halloween, with Bewitching Bark, Wicked Pumpkin Cupcakes, and Broomsicles. Apple of My Eye with Brownie Apples, Apple Print Tablecloth, and U-Pick Goody Bag.
• Other highlights: This book is surprisingly accessible. I find that many styling-focused food books are so much eye candy, big on aspiration and low on practical inspiration. But this one patiently steps you through each recipe and craft, lavishly illustrated with close-ups and process shots. Atlas offers a wealth of little tips and sidebars, too, for quick shortcuts to crafts, and ways to mix up her themes and colors.
This is perhaps the strongest aspect of this book: It's so inspiring and yet if you, like me, can't imagine constructing an entire dessert table, with all the work that entails, you might find just one creative idea, like her smart little table runner covered in Necco Wafer polka-dots, to brighten an otherwise casual birthday party. The ideas are mix-and-match, and the recipes and crafts are almost uniformly appealing and fun.
• Who would enjoy this book? Anyone who loves throwing over-the-top parties, especially baby showers and birthday parties, and who gravitates, like a homing pigeon, to color-coordination and picture-ready dessert tables.
Find the book at your local library, independent bookstore, or Amazon: Sweet Designs: Bake It, Craft It, Style It by Amy Atlas (Hyperion)

The other college presidents nearly laughed Earl Danieley out of the place when he publicly entertained the possibility Republican Jim Holshouser might be elected governor.
A Republican hadn�t won the position since the Reconstruction Era and the General Assembly had been dominated by Democrats just as long.
Danieley, president emeritus of Elon University, was at a planning meeting of church-related college presidents and someone suggested the group invite the governor-elect to speak at that year�s November meeting. Greensboro College�s president mentioned he was friends with Democratic nominee Hargrove �Skipper� Bowles and would extend an invitation. Danieley mentioned he knew Holshouser and would invite him as well.
�They just howled,� Danieley said Tuesday. �I just said, �OK, well there are two men running. We�ll just invite them both and the winner will speak and the one who doesn�t win won�t speak.��
Holshouser spoke.
�The greatest thing you can say about Jim Holshouser: He was such a gentleman that the Democrats in control of both houses worked with him � He did not make enemies. He made friends,� Danieley said. �He went to both houses with programs � that were good for the state. They realized he would work with them fairly.�
Holshouser was born in Boone and, after graduating from the UNC School of Law, served as a representative of Watauga County in the General Assembly and was the House Minority Leader. He was also chair of the state�s Republican Party from 1966 to 1972. He was elected governor in 1972 and completed his term in 1977.
Holshouser died Monday at a Pinehurst hospital at the age of 78. Funeral services are planned for Friday at Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church in Southern Pines.
Danieley first met Holshouser in the late 1960s and then hosted a campaign reception for him during his run for governor. They quickly became friends, keeping in close contact throughout the decades. Danieley considers him one of the most thoughtful and considerate people he�s ever known.
By 1983, they were both serving on the University of North Carolina�s Board of Governors � which Holshouser created when he consolidated the state�s public university system. They served 12 years together on the board.
�He loved the university. He served it so effectively. He always had the answer to perplexing problems,� Danieley said. �He was an unbelievably effective member of the board. He was always quiet, never pushy. But so glib and so wise.�
HOLSHOUSER�S WIFE,Patricia Hollingsworth Holshouser, was Catherine Johnson�s first cousin. She recalls seeing the Holshousers and their daughter, Jenny, at family reunions and other gatherings once a year.
�He was one of a kind, really. He could listen to all sides and make the best decisions for North Carolina and the people,� Johnson said.
During Holshouser�s campaign for governor, Johnson � now an associate dean at Alamance Community College � was engaged to current Alamance County Superior Court Judge Rob Johnson. The soon-to-be newlyweds were presented at the 1973 Governor�s Ball.
�It was like a fairy tale,� Catherine Johnson said. �Then, when we were getting married, people kept asking if the governor was coming to the wedding. I would say, �Yes, he�s going to be there, but I hope you�re coming to see us get married.��
The Johnsons have a picture of the Holshousers in the receiving line at the ceremony.
�Jim is one of the smartest people I�ve ever known. He had integrity and common sense. But more than that, he was pleasant and wonderful to be around,� Johnson said.
BYRON TUCKER, announcer for 920AM WPCM, served for 18 months in Holshouser�s security team at the Governor�s Mansion. At the time, the top five graduates of the N.C. Highway Patrol were automatically assigned to the Executive Security Team, escorting the governor and first family.
�It was kind of like the Secret Service,� Tucker said. �Governor Holshouser extended my stay (with executive security). The longer I stayed, the more responsibility I had with his travel. Where they were, you were.�
Tucker escorted the governor around the state, to games at UNC and to meals at Chapel Hill�s Rathskeller � one of Holshouser�s favorite places to eat.
�He was very conversational. He would talk about things other than politics. He loved sports,� Tucker said. �Out of respect, he never called me anything other than �Trooper Tucker� and I called him �Governor.��
Tucker recalls the governor being sensitive to the needs of North Carolinians.
During the gas crisis, Holshouser asked to be escorted in the most fuel efficient vehicle the state had. He was aware the Lincoln Town Cars and other vehicles in the state�s fleet were gas guzzlers.
Afterward, Holshouser was driven around in a six-cylinder Carolina-blue Plymouth Valiant
�He didn�t think it was right to be in a Town Car when people were waiting in lines for gas,� Tucker said. �Also, during the energy issue and gas crisis, someone made a bicycle with a generator on it to power the mansion�s Christmas tree. Jenny would ride on the bike and provide power to light the tree.�
Part of Tucker�s job was also to make sure the governor was on time for each of the events and speaking engagements scheduled during tours of the state. That sometimes proved difficult because of Holshouser�s way with conversation and people.
�He was just one heck of a guy,� Tucker said. �I can�t speak from a political standpoint � historians do that kind of thing � but I can�t say enough good things about him.�

InfoWorld's Peter Wayner provides an inside look at the frustration iPhone developers face from Apple when attempting to distribute their apps through the iPhone App Store. Determined to simply dump an HTML version of his book into UIWebView and offer two versions through the App Store, Wayner endures four months of inexplicable silences, mixed messages, and almost whimsical rejections from Apple -- the kind of frustration and uncertainty Wayner believes is fast transforming Apple's regulated marketplace into a hotbed of bottom-feeding mediocrity. 'Developers are afraid to risk serious development time on the platform as long as anonymous gatekeepers are able to delay projects by weeks and months with some seemingly random flick of a finger,' Wayner writes of his experience. 'It's one thing to delay a homebrew project like mine, but it's another thing to shut down a team of developers burning real cash. Apple should be worried when real programmers shrug off the rejections by saying, "It's just a hobby."'

Michelle Obama went on the Today Show this morning to talk about the one-year anniversary of the "Let's Move" anti-obesity campaign. But she ended up spilling a lot more gossip -- about her life in the White House, the conflict in Egypt, and even her husband's smoking habit.
Matt Lauer asked the First Lady to follow up on her comments from a Tuesday interview about President Obama quitting smoking. When he asked if she had a part in getting her husband to put the cigarettes down, Michelle replied:
Once he made the commitment to quit, I left him alone because it's a very personal thing. I don't think that there's one right way to do it. I just know that once a person makes the decision, they have to find the best path. So I said when a person is doing the right thing, you leave 'em alone.
Leaving a smoker alone? Michelle, you may actually be on to something!
That's certainly an about-face from Michelle's initial approach to her husband's habit: Back in 2007, she demanded that he quit smoking when he told her he was running for president. But though she may have played a role in his decision to quit, when it came to the process of quitting, she left him alone, knowing it was his battle to fight.
I don't have a discussion with him because it's always been ... it's a personal challenge for him. It's not something that I can be like "Have you smoked today, have you smoked today?"
Michelle's laid-back attitude toward her husband's quitting suggests their marriage is one of respect and trust. But personally? If I were in her shoes, I couldn't imagine being that easy-going about my husband's smoking habit, especially if we had children!
If I find myself wanting to marry a man who smokes, you can bet I plan to be very vocal about the fact that I don't support it as part of his everyday lifestyle and there's no way in hell I'm letting those cancer sticks around my kids. Whether he's our country's president or my future husband, if you're going to be a role model, then I think you need to act like one -- and that means no cigarettes.
But for the Obamas, their method worked: Michelle quietly supported him and Obama supposedly hasn't smoked for almost a year. I understand that communication is key when working through a personal struggle with someone you love. And it's clear that the Obamas knew how to best deal with this particular battle: using communication, in their own way.
But I can't see this strategy working for me anytime soon.
Do you think Michelle was too easy on Barack about his smoking?

I am looking for the appropriate class to enroll my dog (Puma) in. I have a suspicion that she might need to be in the "Brats Class." She is a super sweet dog to me and my husband (we are separated and she lives with him temporarily). She is incredibly skittish around pretty much anyone else and has been since she was born. Ironically enough there was a puppy in the litter after her that turned out exactly the same. She is a year and a half and a bull mastiff mix. She is approx. 85 pounds. She gets along fine with her sister (black lab) but she has a little trouble with other dogs. I know I probably shouldn't have waited so long but I really need help. Like I said she is fine with us but she won't even go near my father in law who is living in the house. The vet highly recommended training and your organization. Please let me know if there is room in the class, I would like to sign her up. She has been spayed and is current on her rabies shot. Thank you.
my response:
I can meet with you at 7:30 next week. Please bring her in on whatever collar you usually use for her. If you normally use a training collar that's fine, but also bring a plain flat buckle collar as well.
Please do not feed her dinner before you come in and bring small soft treats with you such as cut up cheese, hot dogs, or small commercial soft treats.
Do you or have you ever had to muzzle her? Has she ever bitten a person, dog or other animal? Has she tried? Snapped and missed? Grabbed and not broken skin?
You said she is "skittish," what does she do exactly when someone approaches her?
What does she do if your father in law approaches her?
She "has a little trouble with other dogs;" would you please elaborate on that?
I'm just trying to get a feel for what I'm looking at with her. Has she had any training at all? Where, when and with whom?
Of course, now that I've said next Monday, I could also meet with you sometime this week if you are able to come out to the Fairport area between 5 and 6 on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Ok I will bring her at 7:30pm next Monday.
The vet made me put a muzzle on her the last time I brought her about a month ago because she snapped at them when they tried to examine her. Basically she tried to get away from them into the corner of the room and when they came towards her she snapped.
She has never bitten anyone or grabbed them.
I can give you an example of skittish. The last time I brought her to my parents house (they have three little dogs) she wouldn't let any of them (my parents or brother) get close to her. She would come up and kind of sniff them but if they tried to pet her she would run away. She did snap at my brother too. She liked him before so I don't understand that. She used to be skittish around men moreso than women but now it is both.
She is getting worse with my father-in-law. At first she would just run away from him to the other side of the room and/or bark. Now my husband said she just worked herself up the other day so much she peed in the house which she never ever does. He's tried to give her treats and let her sniff him and put her at ease like the Vet suggested but she appears to hate him and has since the moment we brought her home. Ace (the black lab) LOVES my father in law and is always around him when he gets home. But Puma wants no part of him.
She gets along fine with all of the dogs at my sister in laws house. My sister in law has Puma's mom and dad and some other puppies. She gets along with my parents little dogs for the most part. Only sometimes she is a little more energetic than they can take because they are older. Like I said my husband has another dog (black lab) and they get along almost all the time. They scuffle once in a while but the rest of the time they play and seem to have a great time. I took her out on a walk with my friends and their dogs and she was really bad and tried to bite them (the other dogs) but then when I brought her to meet with the dogs again at a BBQ the next week, they all played and she was absolutely fine.
It is so strange though. With my husband and me she is like a big baby she kisses us all the time. She goes on long runs with my husband and is so happy to play in the backyard. She is like a different dog.
She has never had any training and I'm hoping that it isn't too late to help her correct her behavior.
I hope I answered your questions thoroughly enough, if there is anything I missed please let me know. Thank you.
My first concern is that Puma lives with her husband, but she will be bringing her in. The rest of my concerns... well, I think the above pretty much spells them out...
Thoughts? Suggestions? I certainly don't think it's "too late" to correct the behavior, but I'm open to help with mapping out a plan for how to do it.

SALT LAKE CITY — Many Americans dealing with joints that creak louder than rickety stairs are turning to surgery and replacements as the answer to their woes, but many experts agree that replacement surgery is not only straining the health care system, but it may not even be the most effective solution to the problem.
"People with osteoarthritis are relying more and more heavily on surgery," Dr. David T. Felson, a rheumatologist and epidemiologist at Boston University School of Medicine, said in a recent New York Times article. "The rate of knee replacement is just skyrocketing, out of proportion to increases in arthritic changes seen on X-rays, and replacement surgery is contributing greatly to the rising costs of Medicare."
"Osteoarthritis, which affects 40 percent of people aged 40 and older, is the most common form of arthritis," according to Health Magazine. "Osteoarthritis, which often causes pain and stiffness, is a degeneration of the cartilage in the joints."
To combat this pain, many seniors have been electing surgeries and replacements, and this trend has risen dramatically in the past several decades.
"Between 1979 and 2002, knee replacement surgery rose 800 percent among people 65 and older," according to the New York Times.
However, those who do choose to have knee replacements may not find the results they anticipated.
Although he noted the benefits of hip replacements, Felson said in The New York Times, "For 10 to 30 percent of patients, the improvement never comes."
This onset of osteoarthritis may simply be attributed to old age for many people, but certain lifestyle choices can mitigate the severity of the condition later in life.
"The health economic burden of osteoarthritis is increasing commensurate with obesity prevalence and longevity," John Loughlin of Newcastle University in England said in the Health Magazine article. Loughlin is the lead author of a recent study linking genes to osteoarthritis.
"With every step, the force exerted on weight-bearing joints is one and a half times body weight," said Dr. Glen Johnson in the New York Times, who reported on arthritis prevention and treatment at the annual meeting of the National Athletic Trainers' Association in June. "With jogging, the force is increased seven or eight times. Thus, the most effective way to prevent arthritis in knees and hips is to lose weight if you're overweight and to pursue non-impact activities for recreation."
If surgery does appear to be the best route, it may be advantageous to delay it as long as possible so that the procedure will provide maximum benefit.
"Artificial joints usually last 10 to 15 years," according to the New York Times. "Delaying surgery is helpful because the earlier in life a joint is replaced, the more likely a subsequent replacement will be needed. And both devices and surgical techniques are constantly being improved; by delaying a joint replacement, you may end up with a simpler operation or more durable device."
Even still, sometimes it may be best to abstain for surgery altogether.
"Joint replacement, especially of the knee, is not a walk in the park," The New York Times reports. "Arduous physical therapy is essential, and recovery can be long and painful. There are limitations after recovery, too, because artificial joints are not as flexible as the ones you were born with."
So if not surgery, then what? Fortunately for patients, there are plenty of options out there to prevent or remedy arthritis. Is important, however, to consult a doctor before beginning any treatment regimen.
"Certain anti-inflammatory ingredients can be incorporated into the diet, such as tumeric and ginger," said Dr. Ashwin Mehta, medical director of integrative medicine at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine, in an ABC News article. "Ginger and tumeric are powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients we can recommend pretty much to anybody. They are very safe and have no potential medication interactions or complications."
While adding ingredients to a diet can be helpful, most experts agree proper exercise is the best way to silence those creaky joints.
"Physical activity and exercise are very important, especially something like yoga that would target the joints," said Mehta. "Yoga is a type of exercise that focuses on the nuts and bolts that hold everything else together, like the tendons and ligaments, and it's designed for preventive joint health."
Aside from exercise or incorporating ginger into a diet, doctors found a few other effective treatment options to recommend.
"Acupuncture has been found to be effective for osteoarthritis of the knee and hip as well as for rheumatoid arthritis, and a small study found it helps arthritis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus," Taw said. "Simple things like taking warm showers and using heating pads can relieve symptoms, and if the pain is worse with warm weather, we recommend cooling measures."

Yeah. Last year, Safeway was selling them a couple months before the burn, so I stocked up. and you can use up the rest when you get home.AntiM wrote:I got some organic single serve long life flavored organic milk boxes. Much longer shelf life than a couple months. I'm not at home so I can't check them, but it was around six months? Horizon brand (chocolate and vanilla and strawberry).oneeyeddick wrote:most Organic milks have a shelf life of 1 1/2 to 2 months thanks to "ultrahomoganization".
Costs a little more but actually tastes better too, and available in cooler friendly plastic half gallon jugs.
I should probably drink that last one soon. Next time I don't have milk for my cereal, I guess.

Every task is important, but only some of them are critical. The critical path is a chain of linked tasks that directly affects the project finish date. If any task on the critical path is late, the whole project is late.
Show the critical path in the Gantt Chart view
The Gantt Chart view will likely be your most used view for showing the critical path.
Click View > Gantt Chart.
Click Format, and then select the Critical Tasks check box.
Tasks on the critical path now have red Gantt bars.
Show the critical path in other task views
You can see the critical path in any task view by highlighting it.
Click the View tab, and then pick a view from the Task Views group.
Staying on the View tab, select Critical from the Highlight list.
The critical path shows up in yellow.
To see only the tasks on the critical path, click the Filter arrow, then pick Critical.
Tip: In a Network Diagram, tasks on the critical path automatically show up in red. No highlighting is needed.
View the critical path in a master project
When you're managing a master project, whole subprojects can be on the critical path. You can see if this is true by telling Project to treat the subprojects like they are summary tasks.
Click File > Options.
Click Schedule and then scroll down to the Calculation options for this project area.
Make sure the Inserted projects are calculated like summary tasks box is selected.
Tip: This setting does not affect other projects. That is, it only applies to the master project you're working on.
Change what tasks show up on the critical path
Typically, critical tasks have no slack. But you can tell Project to include tasks with one or more days of slack on the critical path so you can see potential problems coming from farther away.
Click File > Options.
Click Advanced, and then scroll down to the Calculation options for this project area.
Add a number to the Tasks are critical if slack is less than or equal to box.
These instructions are specific to Microsoft Project 2007.
Learn more about the critical path
The critical path is a series of tasks (or sometimes only a single task) that controls the calculated start or finish date of the project. When the last task in the critical path is complete, the project is also complete.
The tasks that make up the critical path are typically interrelated by task dependencies. There are likely to be many such networks of tasks throughout your project plan.
When you display the project's critical path, Project 2007 shows only a single, overall critical path, which is the only critical path that controls the project's finish date.
However, you can set up your plan so that you can also see an additional critical path for each independent network or each series of tasks. You might find this useful for keeping track of each of the subprojects within a master project, or of each phase or milestone of a project that is divided into multiple phases.
By knowing and tracking the critical path for your project, as well as the resources that are assigned to each critical task, you can identify the tasks that can affect your project's finish date and thus discover whether your project will finish on schedule.
If it is important that your project finish on schedule, pay close attention to the tasks on the critical path, as well as to the resources assigned to those tasks. These elements all affect whether your project will finish on time.
Be aware that the critical path can change from being one series of tasks to being another series as you progress through the project's schedule. The critical path might change as critical tasks are completed, or as tasks in another series of tasks are delayed. A new critical path immediately becomes the series of tasks that you track most closely to ensure finishing on or before the desired date.
Display the critical path for your project
To verify that adjustments that you make to the project plan don't adversely affect the critical path, you can review the critical path and critical tasks in any of several ways.
Note: By default, Project 2007 does not display a project's critical path.
To do this
Follow these steps
Show the critical path in the context of all tasks
On the View menu, click More Views, click Detail Gantt, and then click Apply.
Show only critical tasks
On the View menu, click Gantt Chart. Then, click Critical in the Filter list on the toolbar.
To display all tasks again, click All Tasks in the Filter list on the toolbar.
You can also group all critical tasks together. On the Project menu, point to Group by and then click Critical.
Show the critical path by using the Gantt Chart Wizard
On the View menu, click Gantt Chart, and then click Gantt Chart Wizard on the Formatting toolbar. Follow the instructions in the Gantt Chart Wizard to format the critical path.

Visuals: 10/10
Sound: 9/10
Plot: 1/10
Dialogue: 2/10
This was NOT a Star Wars movie. The characters motivations to do what they did made absolutely no sense in the context of what we know about them from Eps 1-7. I left the movie feeling completely conflicted. Enjoying the fun visuals, but having no idea what they are even going to do in Episode 9 with no actual remaining conflict besides Rey and Kylo flying around for a movie before they have a battle? What kind of terrible writing do you have to do to kill off all the interesting characters, character assassinate the other interesting ones and then end the movie with no where to go? Boring boring boring boring. No rewatches required. This made JJ's Episode 7 look like a solid 8-9/10 and the prequels actually worth rewatching. Garbage. Burn it with fire. Not canon.
I enjoyed TFA and loved Rogue One, but after this, I see they are sacrificing everything that made Star Wars what it was to push radical politics and make a quick cash-grab. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't give this hack director (who was solely responsible for this mess of a story) his own trilogy! He quite clearly does not know how to write or direct Star Wars, and judging by this, shouldn't even write or direct a television commercial.
Avoid this movie and disregard Disney's decree to wipe most of the Star Wars canon if you even liked the franchise a little. You have eight good movies and a ton of books, comics, and games that are both cannon directly from Lucasarts and EU. Avoid this movie if you are even a casual fan of any type of entertainment and don't feel like wasting your money.
I have never bothered to write an online movie review in my life before this. This is how strongly I feel about how disappointing TLJ was. I loved the Force Awakens. This movie was utter garbage. Looking forward to JJ Abrams returning to the helm for the next movie. I think switching directors hurt this film greatly.
Disney has clearly strong armed or threatened the critics into writing positive reviews for their cash cow. This is not merely a terrible Star Wars movie, it is a terrible movie period.
This is NOT Star Wars nor is it the Luke Skywalker from the original trilogy. Mark Hamill confessed all this months ago, even stating he simply had to view it as a different character. Why in the world, would Luke attempt to slaughter his nephew (his sister Leia and Han's child) in his sleep with a lightsaber merely because he sensed the Darkside within Ben/Kylo? That makes absolutely no sense. Especially considering the whole point of Return of the Jedi was Luke's mission to prove to Yoda and Obi-wan that there was still good in Darth Vader and he wasn't beyond hope. This film completely neutured RotJ AND Luke! Also, it retconned Force Awakens (ignored previous plot points) so badly that I can't believe Disney approved it. Wth happened to the Knights of Ren? And perhaps my biggest bief...they set up a whole scene to involve a mysterious gambler known as The Hacker. Wth wasn't this Lando? WHERE IS LANDO? He was one of the four and he's not even in the sequels? Billy Dee Williams was never approached by Disney or Lucasfilm to do ANY of the sequels. Don't listen to the false claims. Finn, Rey, Rose, BB-8, Poe and Kylo are about as interesting and deep as the Candlestick from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. UGH! I won't even mention the atrocious editing. This film is being compared to Empire Strikes Back by Disney plants and fanboys. NOTHING about this film is worthy of such a comparison. Trust me. I was born in 1975 and lived, breathed, slept, and ate Star Wars. THIS is not that. I prefer the George Lucas prequels tbh
Even Mark Hamill hates the movie .... Enough said
but I guess I can't just say that, can I.. when you go to see a star wars movie you expect to see certain things, unique original worlds epic battles good characters with reasonable and understandable motivation. at the very least an epic adventure the movie unfortunately has nothing of that, instead we have a boring long movie with underwhelming villains and heroes. if one thing the movie did succeed in, it was getting me uninterested in seeing the next one.
When Episode VII came out I was under the impression they were setting things up to portray the old heroes as nothing but losers... I wish I could say I was prepared for what they had in mind for us this time around. No way I could have foreseen to which degree they would degrade the heroes of old (particularly Luke Skywalker) and the Skywalker bloodline in this movie.
When The Last Jedi ended I thought at first that I would leave the movie theather feeling sad or even angry about it, but, in the end, I didn't. I felt indifferent. I don't care about it anymore. Nor does my girlfriend, my mother and nor does my 12 years old brother.
Star Wars is over, this new Disney stuff is a joke and we the fans are the clowns.
I honestly believe a large portion of the positive reviews both on here and rotten tomatoes have been written by a team over at Disney. That many people can't be stupid enough to believe this movie actually has good character development. I really am concerned for the future of, not just Star Wars, but of entertainment in general if this is the case. There was nothing that made me feel good about this movie. The humor made me cringe and was totally out of place. There was a complete lack of any real dramatic moments. Too many inconsequential scenes and new characters. The runtime could have been cut by nearly an hour and nothing would have changed. Just way too many bad choices on the part of the writers. I am all for making something new and unpredictable. Just don't do it at the expense of your plot. I'm not even looking forward to the next one now. I don't recommend seeing this movie in the theater. Wait till it's free on TV. Disney does not deserve your money.
So many gaping plot holes! Terribly written. I had no specific expectations other than it would be great. I was so disappointed! Boring subplots, disposable characters, desecrated 40 years of Star Wars history. Just sad what Rian Johnson was allowed to do here. The Force Awakens set up such great mysteries, but they all just fall flat. Rian Johnson has ruined Star Wars.
This movie will end the love of the franchise for a lot of people and will eventually put fans of the series to the test, whether or not they will go see or buy anything that has the Star Wars logo printed on it. As a fan of the movies, books, comics, etc. this film got a lot of things very wrong. Now, fans are left wondering how the force or physics in the galaxy far, far away are even supposed to work. The Last Jedi destroys the hero of the series, makes the end result of episode 7 seem pointless, and manages to really back the franchise in a corner by implying that there will be no more Jedi, which is a major drawback to the future of interest in this galaxy. At first watch I think people will be entertained by this film but not long after the show is over it is far too easy to find glaring mistakes in the plot that are infuriating to any hardcore fan.

Would you count it? A CBC conundrum.
John from A DC Birding Blog and I were conducting our part of the 75th Long Branch, NJ CBC on Saturday, a count that I compile. We were on a small trail along a frozen lake (like most of the water in our count area that day) and we ran into a gentleman putting up a Screech Owl box. He mentioned that he worked for The Raptor Trust, giving him some good credentials. He didn't know of any Screech Owls around, but did mention something very interesting. Earlier in the day, he ran into a hunter who showed him a photo taken that day of an injured Barred Owl on land within our count area. The owl box guy went to look for the bird, but did not find it. He planned to return later in the day with dogs to see if he could find it and then bring it in for rehab.
So, do I count it as a bird seen on our CBC? My plan is to count it unless someone has a good reason not to.
For a full write-up of our day and the birds we saw, check out A DC Birding Blog.

Jasper County Parent University could close its doors again because of lack of funding and participation.
After closing in 2002, the university relaunched in 2009. This year's enrollment has decreased and the university struggles to keep the courses available for those in Jasper County.
Jasper County Parent University is a nonprofit organization who works together with the Jasper County Hunger Free Zone. The university is to help parents become partners in their child's education. The courses offered to equip families with new skills and resources to make a difference in the lives of their children.
"The Jasper County Parent University has the potential to change the dynamic of lifelong learning for its citizens," Founder Supporter and volunteer Lillie Hall said. "The closing of the JCPU would be a lost opportunity; if it could thrive to its intended purpose, the citizens of Jasper and surrounding counties will positively prosper concerning the education of children and families."
Patricia Goings, Carolyn Smith and William Singleton are on the university's board.
Goings' goal is to reach more individuals who are interested in the courses offered. Goings said participation is at an all-time low with only three or four people attending classes.
"We had about 10 to 12 people show up for the computer literacy class," Goings said. "But last year we had 86 people who graduated from our program. We need more participation."
Goings said the university reaches out to Ridgeland-Hardeeville schools to announce to parents when courses are offered. The university held a registration day Sept. 29 and started free courses for the fall semester. While there is a $10 registration fee, courses are offered free of charge after the registration fee. Students are also provided with a complimentary breakfast and lunch as well as supplies needed for taking notes.
"We are seeing a growing participation in the computer literacy classes," Goings said. "But we want to also let people know that most jobs now require the use of a second language. We do offer a Spanish class that will be very helpful, but might have to shut the class down if no one attends."
Goings said the Diabetes 101 course is one of the classes canceled and that without enough participation the other classes, the university will face closure. There are seven volunteers who teach the different classes offered at the university, but some are becoming very discouraged with the lack of participation.
"We have diverse range of courses to offer that bring resources for the community, but without the community's support we won't be able to offer them," Goings said.
Hall said it cannot work successfully without the support of community partners like the Jasper County School District, the Department of Social Services, Jasper One Stop, local businesses, media partners, civic groups, faith-based groups, libraries, health care entities and other social service agencies.
"I look forward to the JCPU continuing and hoping many more step up to support it," Hall said.
Jasper County Parent University has applied for a grant.
Jasper County Parent University and Jasper County Hunger Free Zone are struggling to gain the much needed support. For the first time, the Jasper County Hunger Free Zone's pantry has had empty shelves and closed because of shortage. Goings and other volunteers for both the university and food pantry met Tuesday to discuss ideas of gaining participation and funds.
The food pantry has helped not only those in Ridgeland and Hardeeville but even Hilton Head and Hampton. While the Jasper County Hunger Free Zone has applied for help from Second Helpings, they were put on a waiting list.
"We take supplies to 78 agencies and we haven't had enough to go around so Jasper County Hunger Free Zone is on the waiting list until we receive more suppliers," Peggy Warnke of Second Helpings said. "We lost two suppliers on Hilton Head Island in the past year. We wish we could help but we can't until we get more food."
Jasper County Hunger Free Zone hopes to return to providing supplies for those in need once it is restocked. The university plans to reach out to more people and communicate when classes are available.
"We have to find a new way to motivate parents to get involved and get interested in Parent University," Goings said.
Fall classes are at the old Ridgeland High School on Saturday and again on Oct. 13 and 27. Graduation for those who completed six classes will be at 4 p.m. on Oct. 27.
