For me it's the beach. It's the most fun summer activity because its like being on a vacation the entire time you are there. You don't think of anything other than being there. It's tranquil and relaxing, but you can do other activities if you want to.ReplyDelete

My family and I are working our way through the National Parks and their Junior Ranger programs. We're off to MI, PA and ME this summer. We live in DC, so we have fun going to a lot of the local parks as well. (From day to day you'll find us crafting, swimming, playing games or having people over to join us for BBQ.) Not overly fond of the heat, but LOVE the summer!
Our summer fun is camping! We love it! But this year all I here from my boys is "when's the space ship coming?" The last shuttle launched will be here in So Cal on display and they are dying to go see it!!ReplyDelete

Working with Mamet
Executive producer Shawn Ryan — who helped David Mamet and Eric L. Haney bring The Unit to the air in 2006 — says the idea "that drama is never the choice between good and bad but that drama is the choice between two bads" is something Mamet "has pounded into all of us." Although there are different writers for the show, Mamet reviews all the story ideas, "does a dialogue polish on each of the scripts," and continues to write and direct occasional episodes. (His sister Lynn is also one of the show's writers, specializing in the women's stories.)
As for the murky politics, Ryan says: "I don't think the show tries to take political positions." And regarding torture: "Eric Haney took the military position that torture was not an effective tactic. Now you can certainly take a political position, as well. But I think the thing you're noticing is that the show took a military position. What's great about these characters is that they almost don't have time for politics. There are very few true victories and very few true defeats on our show. It does exist in a slightly grayer area."
Based on Eric L. Haney's 2002 memoir, Inside Delta Force: The Story of America's Elite Counterterrorist Unit, the show, now in its fourth season, stars Dennis Haysbert as the group's leader, Sergeant Major Jonas Blane. With four fellow operatives, he travels the globe rescuing hostages, foiling terrorist plots, and occasionally assassinating a bad guy or two.
The obvious parallel is 24 (where Haysbert was once president of the United States). But Kiefer Sutherland and his gang are white-collar CIA spooks. Mamet's guys are blue-collar enlisted men. They live on Army-base suburban tracts, have messy domestic lives, and don't particularly care about politics — they're here to take orders and get the job done. They're highly skilled grunts. And, of course, The Unit doesn't have 24's unique plot gimmick of creating a season's worth of to-be-continued cliffhangers. Rather, story arcs develop in typical one-hour drama fashion, with only the occasional two-or-three-episode sequence or the occasional recurring subplot.
There's one other important difference. Despite all the phony hand wringing regarding Jack Bauer's gunpoint interrogations, the moral ambiguity in 24 is just window dressing for the suspense. With a few spectacular car crashes and some brutally violent murders, 24 is all about getting the bad guys before the clock runs out. The Unit, on the other hand, holds true to Mamet's dictum: "In the drama, the individual is forced to make a moral choice. This choice is never between good and evil (it would be clearly immoral to reject the good) but between two evils."

More Rebels: Notebook
OXFORD – It's often said that everything's bigger in Texas, but is everything faster too?
That's the case for the Texas special teams, says Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, as the Rebels prepare to host the No. 14 Longhorns on Saturday night.
Texas leads the nation in net punting with a 49.75-yard average and is tied for ninth in kick returns with 22.0 yards per attempt.
Those are numbers that just scream "speed" to Freeze.
"No. 1, any time you play a team that has the team speed they have, they're special teams are going to be good," said Freeze at his regular Monday press conference. "The better the team speed, the better the special teams, and they've got great team speed."
Special teams rushed into Freeze's consciousness last week when the Rebels fumbled two punts, and kicker Bryson Rose missed two more field goals in a 28-10 win over Texas-El Paso.
Things have been good on the whole, he said, but he knows the negative plays can be game-changers.
"I think our special teams have been solid except for the field goal unit and the muffed punts. Our coverage units have been good, our punter's been good," Freeze said. "We've struggled to make the field goals when we need them. I do have great confidence that Bryson will get that worked out. He's a confident young man."
Rose, a senior from Raleigh, N.C., has missed as many field goals in two games he has his entire career. He began the season 25 for 29 in two seasons as the regular kicker, a success rate of 86.2 percent.
He's 0 for 4 this season, two misses from long range, one a block, and two from under 40 yards.
Ole Miss senior punter Jim Broadway is third in the SEC at 47.3 yards per attempt. The Rebels are fifth in net punting at 41.0 yards per attempt.

Savane - Cookbook: recipe #125, Packaging Savane
recipe #125: Packaging Savane
There are two times when we want to build Savane package for the public: when when make a release, when we repackage a release.
Release are planned, there must be an open task on the project task tracker about it.
Repackaging can be done by experienced Savane developers whenever they feel it's necessary and for packaging issues only:
- to update translations
- to update documentation
- to fix bugs in packaging (update scripts, install scripts)
- in some cases, to fix a bug that make the release unusable in some case
As a repackaging implies risking to introduce new bugs, all the changes must appears necessary to improve the release without risking to break anything else.
Needlessly to say, there's no question that common bugsfixes do not justify a repackaging, they have to be included in a later release. And indeed, security fixes cannot be included in a repackaging but must be the occasion of a release.
Repackaging mean that's the previous package for the release will be replaced: this is supposed to be exactly the same release plus 1 change. The rationale behind is the idea that there's no reason to let people download by mistake the flawed package that contains the exact same release minus 1 change.
New package will not be specifically announced or whatsoever.
If you'd like to do a repackaging but:
- are not 100% sure it's appropriate
- are not 100% sure you are experienced enough with Savane development to do it please send a mail to savane-dev.
Repackaging means be available also to fix the new package if there's any problem with it.
You need a debian system able to build packages. You need to have your GPG signature identified in the project keyring (please check!).
- First, you have to pick the appropriate version name. If the release you repackage is name 1.1, the new version will be 1.1+1. If it's already 1.1+1, increment the later number (the repackaging number) and you get 1.1+2. If it is a new release, increment the first number of the release if there are major changes visible to the user, the second if its mainly a bugfix/cosmetics/minor changes releases.
- Copy the SVN tag of the version to be repackaged. For instance, you can do
(if it is not a repackaging, you will actually simply copy the trunk)
Then, you have to check out this new version:
In this new version checked out, you do whatever changes must be committed. You commit them on this tag.
(See the SVN manual, in doubt)
- Update debian/changelog appropriately (in emacs use "debian-changelog-mode"). Your new entry should looks like:
- Build the packages. In the savane directory, run
- Get with rsync a copy of the project download area (scp wont be ok, as it cannot creates symlinks):
For example, you can do:
- Put the packages in the relevant places:
- the tarball goes in the main directory
- the older tarball must be deleted (keep a copy in case something goes wrong)
- debian packages must go in debian/stable
- Add necessary additional data:
- the symlink savane-latest.tar.gz must be rebuilt against the new tarball
- debian/stable/Packages.gz must be rebuilt using by running `make update-deb-release` in the debian/stable directory.
- sign the new tarball with gpg (gpg --detach tarball) (Packages.gz should have been signed when it was recreated)
- Upload everything:
- Commit back your changes to the trunk, if you were doing a repackaging. To do that, check out the trunk, go inside its directory and use
where XXX is the revision of the commit when you created the new tag. And afterwards, indeed do a svn commit.

Tehran and Washington have discovered a surprising common bond: to pretend that they might be heading toward serious negotiations to curb Iran's nuclear capacity. What's more, they are pretending for the same reason: to ward off an Israeli attack on Iran.
Their moves are barely noticeable—vague diplomatic pronouncements, op-eds, lots of behind-the-scenes orchestration by Russia. They don't want much attention—just enough to persuade Israel to wait on military action, to buy time. The American line is that the economic sanctions are working and weakening Tehran's will. Iran's line is we're willing to compromise, but we're not going to be pushovers.
Of course, there is no actual collusion between Iran and the United States; they don't trust each other. But both have reached the conclusion that war is worse than continued uncertainty—at least for the time being, as far as the United States is concerned.

In another thread discussing training equipment newcomers to the sport are advised to buy a starting pistol.
I don't know if it's because I'm a miserable old curmudgeon, a tightwad, a flint hard rationalist or just a bit thick (all have applied from time to time) but I've never owned one or felt the need to. I just don't see what purpose is served; I reckon to do all the bangy type training with about 50 rounds each of .410 and 12 gauge.
I'm normally the most gadget obsessed soul for miles round, but starting pistols don't do it for me. I use my chum Stuart's when I do displays and demos, but only to intimidate the unruly kids in the audience! Is there anyone else who shares this deficiency?

...of the terms "thrown about wily-nily on this BB" as stated by the erudite, making the declarations of their use as being 'just words'....we can all benefit from a brief history lesson in video.
10 1/2 minutes well spent. It will bring you to the realization of how history is being repeated...how we got to where we are...and where it was first practiced.
What goes around comes around eh? Always beneficial to receive some education concerning where we are headed, and discovering we've been all wrong with our terminology.
It's apparently not leftist, socialist, Marxist, or Fascist... It's an OLIGARCHY. Dayum, whoda thunk it???

I'm not convinced that Ronald Reagan was a President that history will see as one of the "great" ones. However, some of his words certainly hold some great truths. Apologize in advance if you've already seen these.
'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.' - Ronald Reagan
(What did he know about GM that we didn't know?)
'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.'- Ronald Reagan
(Oh, boy! Ain't this the truth?!)
'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.'- Ronald Reagan
(We've seen plenty of this. Probably many more to come.)
'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.' - Ronald Reagan
(Health care reform?)
'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.'- Ronald Reagan
(This is downright scary thought based on legislation now in progress.)
' I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.". - Ronald Reagan
(Would be funny if it weren't too true.)
'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.' Ronald Reagan
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'- Ronald Reagan
(Possibly the best one of all).

GU's Gonzales pre-season first-team All-American
SPOKANE, Wash. - Less than a month away from first pitch, Gonzaga University junior Marco Gonzales was named to Baseball America's 2013 preseason All-America first-team Thursday.
This is the third preseason first-team All-American honor Gonzales has been named to in 2013. The Fort Collins, Colo., native was also named first-team by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and by Perfect Game.
Gonzales returns to Gonzaga coming off a spectacular sophomore season where he compiled an 8-2 record with a 1.55 ERA on the mound. The two-way player was just as successful at the plate where he hit .325 for the Zags.
The southpaw, one of three finalists for The 2012 College Baseball Hall of Fame's John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award, appeared in 12 games for the Zags with three shutouts to go with 92 strikeouts. He led the West Coast Conference in ERA and tied for second in wins helping the club to a 34-22 record. Opposing hitters only hit .201 off him with only 12 extra-base hits.
Gonzales is the reigning WCC Pitcher of the Year and NCBWA District IX Player of the Year.
This summer, Gonzales pitched for the USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team and was named Best Pitcher for the bronze medal U.S. team of Honkbal Week in Haarlem, The Netherlands. He finished 3-0 for the national team with a 2.82 ERA in four appearances.
Bulldog baseball opens the season Feb. 15 against Utah Valley University in Palm Springs, Calif.

American Idol Eye Candy: Kelly Clarkson vs. Carrie Underwoodby Mischalova at . Comments
Before a new American Idol gets crowned in two weeks, we have a pressing question:
Who is your favorite American Idol winner of all-time?
We'll assume that Fantasia, Ruben Studdard and Taylor Hicks aren't even in the running. And, remember, Chris Daughtry and Clay Aiken didn't actually win their respective seasons.
So this leaves two options for fans of the FOX reality show: original Idol victor, Kelly Clarkson? Or season four's champion, Carrie Underwood?
Each has picked up Grammy Awards, although only Underwood has picked up an All-Pro NFL quarterback. It's a close call.
Perhaps fans will want to wait for the new Kelly Clarkson album to come out in July before making a decision. But if you have a preference right now, let us know.
And, yes, we wish Katharine McPhee had won last year, too. Go blame The Soul Patrol for that one.

Family: Molossidae, Free-tailed Bats view all from this family
Description The largest bat in North America is darker than Underwoods Bonneted Bat, and lacks long guard hairs on the rump. Forearm 72-83mm. Males have a well-developed throat gland that emits a thick, smelly musk in the breeding season.
Dimensions 159-187mm, 55-72mm, 45-73g
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Habitat Canyons & caves
Range Southwest, Texas, California
Discussion Also known as the western bonneted bat, the greater mastiff bat, or the greater bonneted bat, roosts in cliffside crevices in rugged canyonlands of the arid southwest.

Description & Highlights
Ice-O-Matic 400 Lbs, 32" Self Contained - 115V, Flake
The Ice-O-Matic EF250A32S self-contained, air-cooled ice machine produces flake ice, which consists of small, hard bits of ice. Flake ice cools more quickly than other forms of ice and has a low production cost, making it a great choice for many businesses.

It delivers a steady flow of ice for fast recovery of ice supply.
An ample 143 lbs bin within an ultra-low profile (41 inches tall) allows this to be used in almost any kitchen. Also, its filter free air means you won't have to move things around to be able to change the filter. The EF250A32S is constructed with a brass evaporator and rugged stainless steel transport system enclosed in a polyurethane insulation, meaning it's built to last.

But I don't know if GreenPeace or scientists have been monitoring them..
I'm just throwing my not so learned opinion and observation out there..
I can take criticism and correction as "I'm a learning".. :)
I'm a AGW believer and the data is overwhelming to a point that it's harder for me to understand a dissenting opinion on the subject..
I can agree to disagree..
But seems to me anyway..
That, for an example, when a road is built through a town and it is pointed at my house,
Do I deny it?
Do I move out of the way?
The situation Must be resolved..
It is a tangible fact that I cannot ignore..
I must resolve and find a solution to the problem..
Same with AGW..
Hard Data..check..
Scientific integrity..check..
Tangible threat..check..
Cannot be ignored..check..

It is what it is..
We should have collected our sharpest minds and resolved this matter long ago and haved moved on to other pressing issues that face humanity..

Decision making !
By John Morrison on Apr 07, 2008
While recently reading up an interview with executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, i was attracted to these words which on the face of it was pretty obvious all along ... "Every decision is made by the person who has the power to make it. Not the smartest person, not the prettiest or the best, but the one who has the power."
It does'nt take long to realize the truth in the above statement. Ultimately the one making the final decision is the one with the power to make it. Is there anything at all that you can do to have an outcome that satisfies you; are you totally powerless; frankly, you are not entirely powerless even when you do not have the power to make decisions. You can do one significant thing and that is - Influence.
How do you influence ? Well, how does anyone influence you ... think of advertisements and marketing pitches exhorting you to try and buy a range of products and services ... which brings us to a fact that all of us need to realize and accept viz. we are all sales persons.
Each and everyone of us, wherever we are and whoever we are, is a sales person, period. Accept it or not, you and I are sales persons. If you are an employee at an organization, your time is one of your wares ... think about it.
Getting back to the subject of influencing the decision maker, a way to influence is to sell your ideas. Whilst this may sound simplistic, there are variables that need to be borne in mind while trying to sell viz. appropriateness, big picture, time, etc. Its also obvious that not all your sales pitches would translate into outcomes desired by you. Its very likely that your pitches may be met with some sort of objection(s).
Another obvious fact is, you may not necessarily be the only one trying to sell and influence. What if decisions do not go your way ? Accept that not all sales calls translate to actual sales. You could at times have the door slammed on your face or a competitor could clinch the sale. Analyze, learn from your experience and move ahead. Once a decision is made, accept it and do whatever it takes to make it work. Experience is a great teacher and over time your ability to sell should improve.
Signing off this post with a quote by Cherie Carter-Scott ...
"Remember, there are no mistakes, only lessons. Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible."

text: After reading the thread on the National, I thought I'd give a couple comments. First, I heard that one dog had 6 no-birds. Is this a world record for no-birds for a single dog? Also, on one of the threads the talked about the word "Open." Historically this is used as an adjective in dog sports, as in "Open All-Age." This means that any eligible dog at least 6 months old can enter the stake without any other qualifications. Other stakes have qualifications to enter: Limited All-Age, Special All-Age, Restricted All-Age, and the National Retriever Championship. I noticed today they called it the National Open on the blog. I guess common use is using "Open" as a noun. I guess I just like things to be precise. This happens with other terms that we use. For example, the misuse of the term "hunt test" or "licensed trial."

Does anyone know if all of these are out yet for Wave 1. I've only seen Obi-wan and Darth Maul at the Target's. But I started looking late so I don't know if they were all bought up or not.
Only Obi-Wan and Darth Maul have been released so far.
"Smeeeeee....Heeeeeee...." -- Kryten 4000
Thanks, do you know when they plan to release the others? I really want to try to get down to the store the day the others are released.

Can anyone in possession of the first 2 then verify that the figures included are exactly the same as previous versions of the characters? My stress level would like to thank you in advance......
I won't waste my $ on them, but I believe the Maul is exactly the same. The Obi-Wan is the same in all but that he does not come with the lightsaber hilt to clip on his belt and pose him as he is in the movie.Originally Posted by jjreason
I'm not too sure, but my guess is within the next month or so. I'm sure when they are seen at retail someone will post their finds here in the forums.Originally Posted by graak
"Smeeeeee....Heeeeeee...." -- Kryten 4000
I was operating on the belief that all of the figures were repackaged, except for possibly the X-Wing pilot Luke. I guess his helmet is not removable, so for him to be a repack he will have to be the Snowspeeder pack-in version, or some rehashed POTJ body with the pack-in head attached. That would suck, as then I'd have to pursue the set. Keep me posted.

As much as I can tell, they are the same. I just wish it was glass glasses instead of plastic. Are they going to release one for AOTC next year so that it is a full set of six? I'm a little irritated by five of six movies having a glass.
Er - AOTC already has a glass, it's with Anakin. I'm guessing you meant Episode III, but so far I don't know as nothing for Episode III's been announced outside the fact that there's gonna be basic figures.Originally Posted by Sentinel18725

Newlywed Blake Lively is in a good place. So good, that right before her secret wedding to hunk Ryan Reynolds, she told Allure Magazine, "I'm so peaceful. I've never been happier in my life."
DETAILS: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Tie The Knot
Earlier this week, Blake married her Green Lantern costar and boyfriend of one year Ryan Reynolds in a private ceremony in South Carolina.

Now the newlyweds can start raising a family, and Ryan better get to work because Blake, 25, wants to have 30 kids!
"I've always wanted a big family," the actress told Allure. How many does kids she want? "Oh, I'd love 30 if I could," she says.
This wasn't the first time the Gossip Girl mentioned having a large family. Back in 2010, the blonde beauty simply told Allure:
"I want babies. Lots of babies. Of course!"
Maybe we're starting to see why Ryan jumped the broom with Blake! These two better get to work on that family real quick!

The cortisol urine test measures the level of cortisol in the urine. Cortisol is a steroid (glucocorticoid) hormone produced by the adrenal gland.
Cortisol can also be measured using a blood test.
24-hour urinary free cortisol (UFC)
A 24-hour urine sample is needed. You will need to collect your urine over 24 hours. Your health care provider will tell you how to do this. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
Because cortisol level rises and falls throughout the day, the test may need to be done three or more separate times to get a more accurate picture of average cortisol production.
You may also be asked not to do any vigorous exercising the day before the test.
You may also be told to temporarily stop taking medicines that can affect the test, including:
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
The test is done to check for increased or decreased cortisol production. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid (steroid) hormone released from the adrenal gland in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This is a hormone released from the pituitary gland in the brain. Cortisol affects many different body systems. It plays a role in:
Different diseases, such as
Normal range is 10 to 100 micrograms per 24 hours (mcg/24h).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher than normal level may indicate:
A lower than normal level may indicate:
There are no risks with this test.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Facebook Inc.'s stock went on a wild ride late Wednesday, seeing sharp losses and slight gains following better-than-expected quarterly results from the social-networking company.
Shares of Facebook FB, -0.08% tumbled by as much as 10% after the release of the company's fourth-quarter results. They managed to erase the losses to notch modest advances, only to return to the red where they traded down 4.1% at $29.96.
Some investors apparently had anticipated a "blowout" quarterly report, one analyst said. See: Facebook's results beat Street, but shares slip.
Investors had been drawn in ahead of the results, leaving the shares with a year-to-date gain of 17.4% and an advance of 35% since Facebook's last financial report was released in October.
Facebook Results Boosted By Strong Ad Sales
Facebook reported better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings Wednesday with revenue boosted from stronger mobile ad sales. But higher costs dragged down the social network's profit. MarketWatch's Dan Gallagher and Ben Pimentel report.
Late Wednesday, Facebook said adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter were 17 cents a share, better than the 15 cents a share expected among analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue rose to $1.59 billion from $1.13 billion a year ago, higher than the consensus estimate of $1.51 billion for the most recent period.
The results pointed to traction in the company's mobile-advertising business. See MarketWatch's live coverage of Facebook's earnings.
Meanwhile, Qualcomm Inc. QCOM, -0.30% shares stayed higher in late trading, up by 6.3% at $67.56 after the company's quarterly forecast came in above expectations. The wireless chip maker expects fiscal second-quarter revenue of $5.8 billion to $6.3 billion and earnings of $1.10 to $1.18 a share. Analysts had pegged earnings at $1.10 a share on revenue of $5.9 billion.
Sales at Qualcomm during the fiscal first quarter rose 29% to $6.02 billion. Net earnings jumped 32% to $2.2 billion and earnings were $1.26 per share. Wall Street anticipated earnings of $1.13 a share on revenue of $5.9 billion.
Shares of JDS Uniphase Corp. US:JDSU gained 14% to $14.17 after the maker of broadband products swung to a fiscal second-quarter profit of $4.1 million, or 2 cents a share. Adjusted earnings of 18 cents a share were above the 14 cents a share expected by Wall Street analysts. See: JDSU swings to profit on communications revenue.
Better-than-expected results at Align Technology Inc. ALGN, -0.36% helped shares of the Invisalign braces maker rise 10% to $32.25. Read more about Align Tech's quarterly report.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
Ahead of late trading, U.S. stocks backed away from five-year highs after the Federal Reserve said U.S. "economic activity had paused in recent months" and maintained its monetary policy. Read about Wednesday's action in U.S. stocks.
The S&P 500 Index SPX, -0.30% fell 0.4% at 1,501.96 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.15% lost 44 points at 13,910.42. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.11% shed 0.4% at 3,142.31.

Early adventures with Sitemaps
Perhaps entirely randomly, I decided that TechGeneral would need Sitemaps before I put it live.
A Sitemap (sometimes called a Google Sitemap, although you won't see Google calling it that, and it is a standard that Yahoo!, Ask, and Live all support) is an XML file (or bunch of XML files) that describe the various resources on your web site which allows search engines and other programs to discover them more easily.
There are a few advantages to putting together a Sitemap. Generally, search engines give up after they travel a few links into a web site to avoid infinite automatically generated links (not because of malicious intent necessarily, but because of weird programming). With a Sitemap, each listed resource can potentially be treated as a first visit. Also, if a site has navigation that search engines can't traverse to get to certain pages, Sitemaps can assist search engines to find those resources.
They also optionally assign a priority to each resource as a way to influence the importance assigned to the resource relative to other resources on your web site. Similarly, an optional update frequency per resource can influence how often a search engine or other program should check back for new versions of that resource. Last modified dates also optionally help to determine whether to try revisit a resource earlier or later than would normally happen.
Example Sitemap File
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"> <url> <loc>http://techgeneral.org/diary</loc> <lastmod>2008-08-16T22:52:41+00:00</lastmod> <changefreq>daily</changefreq> <priority>0.9</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://techgeneral.org/speaking</loc> <lastmod>2008-08-16T22:52:13+00:00</lastmod> <changefreq>daily</changefreq> <priority>0.9</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://techgeneral.org/contact</loc> <lastmod>2008-08-10T16:59:32+00:00</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.9</priority> </url> <url> <loc>http://techgeneral.org/about</loc> <lastmod>2008-08-10T12:42:06+00:00</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.9</priority> </url> </urlset>
There are two types of Sitemaps - individual Sitemap files and Sitemap Index files. Why would you want a Sitemap Index? One, less relevant to many, reason is that individual Sitemap files can only contain 50 000 URLs (which, admittedly, the average blog isn't going to hit) and be less than 10MB uncompressed. Another reason is that you might be using multiple systems that each generate Sitemap files (or you've hacked them to do so) but you don't want to merge them yourself.
Example Sitemap Index
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"> <sitemap> <loc>http://techgeneral.org/sitemap_posts.xml</loc> </sitemap> <sitemap> <loc>http://techgeneral.org/sitemap_archives.xml</loc> </sitemap> <sitemap> <loc>http://techgeneral.org/sitemap_pages.xml</loc> </sitemap> </sitemapindex>
One useful side-effect of using a Sitemap with Google's webmaster tools is that you can see errors that occur on resources listed in the Sitemap. So, if a request for a resource starts returning 404 or 500 errors, you can separate that more specific set of errors from those caused by broken links on your site or on other sites.
However, Google's webmaster tools doesn't seem to like having a whole bunch of separate Sitemap files with a central Sitemap Index. I mean, it seems to work, but it complains (warnings, not errors) that many of the Sitemaps (all on this site, most on my personal web site) have only entries with the same priority. I'm setting the priority of all the archives low (they have noindex, follow set anyway, so won't show up in search results), the frontpage high, and the posts are priorities based on age.
I get the feeling that the priorities only apply within the same file, and not within the same site. This somewhat makes sense, since one can delegate a sitemap for a particular folder on your web site, and you wouldn't want an overeager person assigning "1.0" to all content within the folder, overriding your beautifully crafted values for the base site. However, in this case, they're all at the same level, and I really want the archives lower than the posts, and the frontpage higher than most of the posts.
Oh well, I'll push on and see whether it's just a matter of warnings that aren't affecting things (my favourite kind) or an indication of things being as I suspect.

Special Needs Children
- Financial Planning When You Have a Chronic Illness
When you live with a chronic illness, you need to confront both the day-to-day and long-term financial implications of that illness. Talking openly about your health can be hard, but sharing your questions and challenges with those who can help you is extremely important, because recommendations can be better tailored to your needs. Every person with a chronic illness has unique issues, but here's a look at some topics you might need help with as you're putting together your financial plan.
- When your child has special needs
As the parent of a child with special needs, you can get reliable information and support from your doctor, parent groups, and both national and local agencies. Medicaid will probably pay for your child's medical care if he or she meets Supplemental Security Income requirements. By law, public schools must accept children with special needs and provide special education services. Be sure your child is taken care of after your death by naming a guardian in your will, and consider establishing a special needs trust to protect your child's eligibility for government benefits.

In essence Alec, you're asking the difference between someone who can gain the respect of thier peers vs. someone who can't.
Given the lack of absolutes in this thing we call "dog training", I'm not entirely sure anyone is qualified to judge anyone else on any basis.
Hopefully, everyone we encounter just loves thier dog and wants to give it the opportunity to enjoy it's life to the fullest...
Some will be more adept at that than others, as is the case in all endeavors we humans undertake.
That doesn't, in my mind mean I should be labelling people one way or another.
Darrin Greene
I've been following this thread since it first started. Being philosophical isn't something you switch on and off, but my pondering mode has finally kicked in. So this hypothetical situation kind of popped into my head. At first, I had no idea where it would lead.
Two strangers meet on an airplane. After the normal exchange of "hellos" and "how are you?" One asks the other (other being me), "Do you have any hobbies?" I replied, "Yes. I have four dogs that I train often."
He asks, "Are you a trainer of dogs or a dog trainer?" Well, being kind of a smart "donkey" and caught off guard a bit, I replied, "Yes."
In my mind, I'm thinking, "Do those mean two different things?" and "He did say or."
His polite reply was, "I guess so." To which I replied, "I never thought about it that much." The stranger's retort was, "Me either, but yesterday I was reading a thread on the RTF and was hoping you could clear that up for me."
Two hours of silence pass. The plane is about to land, and the stranger turns and asks, "Well, what do you think?" My reply was, "About what?"

Grasshopper, some dogs "no-go", must be forced pile. Some people "no-go", must be forced to truth.
What its prominence suggest, and what all science confirms is that the dog is a creature of the nose- A. Horowitz.
Everyone starts out as a person that trains dogs.....If they stick with it long enough, and are 'doggy' enough, they will eventually become dog trainers...
I am on the long road....somewhere between point A and point B....maybe someday I will reach point B...until then (and/or after) I will enjoy the journey.

God answers prayers all the time. Even the ones we don't know we asked. God is Good (always)

Relatively speaking, I haven't been training labs long but I trained Border Collies several years ago.
My thoughts on this is that anyone can get a dog, buy a book and or DVD on training and maybe even find a good mentor to help them along the way. Technically, they can follow the steps, or flow chart, from A to Z. Maybe they get lucky with a good dog and acheive some level of success. These people train dogs.
Dog trainers are also able to follow the flow charts and the technical aspects of training but they are able to take it to a different level. They are able to bend and adjust their training to each dog individually in order to get the most out of them. They know what makes THAT particular dog tick and how to reach that dog in a way that allows them to reach some level of success. Sometimes because of, and other times in spite of, that dogs talent level.
The analogy I think of is someone taking up playing a musical instrument, say piano. Many can play the notes...they play piano. The true artists can turn those notes into inspiring music...they are piano players.

Since Alec has yet to agree on what he means with this question, I'll share my initial thought. When I hear someone describe his or herself as a dog trainer, I immediately think PetSmart obedience or animal behaviorist or... well you can fill in the blanks. We get enough of them posting here daily: the instant experts that know everything there is to know about the canine mind so their own minds are closed to any new or different method.
I've met some outstanding pros who had an almost instinctive ability to read a dog and get the maximum out of any dog. And I include in that some of the huntsmen I knew from fox hunting: the kind of people that know what a dog's going to do in a situation almost before the dog does it, and trains accordingly. And not one of them described himself as a dog trainer. Although to those unfamiliar with the terminology they might answer a question with the explanation that they train dogs.
Philosophically and phycolgically speaking,,sometimes it just boils down to who has the biggest wee wee
Never compare yourself to others,,you'll always be disappointed
Nothing is different in the dog training world than in any other trade.
