At 10 months you won't get it. You have to build trust, meaning the dog must trust your alignment, not his. Go to a field with cut green grass and bring four orange bumpers. At heel, throw one about 20 yards out, turn 90 degrees, throw, 90 degrees, throw 90 degrees throw. Now treat each one as a blind. Line him with verbal and physical cues. I use my right leg to fine tune his alignment. Heel and right leg out a bit means look/turn left. Come and right leg back, look/turn right. When he is looking exactly where I want, I say a quiet gooood, and then I send him with "back". Because he knows the bumpers are there, his intensity will be strong. In time he will trust your alignment and cues and not bug out and get distracted. I find that using hand cues is just a distraction to the dog and adds no benefit to the gooood cue/re-enforcer. After time you can place three in the grass without the dog seeing, then come out and throw one, turn 90 degrees and send and the dog will take the line you gave him and not go for the one that you threw.
My 2 cents

That's interesting.........I did not know that "good" was a command.I find that using hand cues is just a distraction to the dog and adds no benefit to the gooood command.

Ok, it is a cue, you knew what I meant.

Uh oh, I use, "Yeah, that's it," kind of in an excited whispered voice. Dang, I'll never get it right.When he is looking exactly where I want, I say a quiet gooood, and then I send him with his name.
Good drill, by the way.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

Since I am new to this where do you guys prefer to order your parts? I'd like somewhere in the U.S.A. that is priced reasonably with fast shipping and good customer service. Of course I'd pay slightly more providing the last two criteria were exceptional.

Who says that sweet potatoes are just for side dishes and southern pies? Stir sweet potatoes into biscuits for a nice flavor change.
Here's a tip for making nicely shaped biscuits. Push the cutter straight down through the biscuit dough without twisting it. If you twist as you cut, the biscuits may be uneven.
Biscuits don't have to be round! You can use a 2-inch cookie cutter in any shape. Or cut the dough into smaller squares, rectangles or triangles with a sharp knife that has been dipped in Bisquick mix to prevent sticking.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey to Speak at Southwestern Commencement
The Hon. Jackie Lacey, the newly elected District Attorney of Los Angeles County, will deliver the keynote address at Southwestern's 98th Commencement Ceremony on May 12, 2013 at the Shrine Auditorium. She will also receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree during the ceremony.
Dean Austen Parrish said, "As Los Angeles County's first female and first African American district attorney, Jackie Lacey is a trailblazer who has accomplished so much and has made a difference in our community through hard work and raw talent. She is a tremendous role model for our students, and I can't imagine a more appropriate person to address our new graduates. We are honored to have her join us."
As the District Attorney for Los Angeles County, Ms. Lacey oversees the largest prosecutorial agency in the nation. The District Attorney's Office has over 2,000 employees, which include nearly 1,000 prosecutors, 800 support staff and more than 250 investigators. Prior to the November 6, 2012 election, she was the Chief Deputy District Attorney, the second highest ranking prosecutor in the office, responsible for running the office's day-to-day operations. She held various other leadership positions for nearly 12 of her 28 years as a Los Angeles County prosecutor.
Southwestern trustee Robert Philibosian '67, himself a former Los Angeles County District Attorney, said, "Jackie Lacey is a true up-from-the-ranks prosecutor. She is a strong law enforcement leader who is totally dedicated to justice and public protection. We are indeed fortunate she will share her words of advice and encouragement with our new graduates during her first year in office."
After earning her undergraduate degree at the University of California, Irvine, and her J.D. degree at the University of Southern California, Ms. Lacey worked in the Santa Monica City Attorney's Office for two years before joining the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. She has tried more than 60 felony jury trials including 11 murder cases. Her most noteworthy trial was a 1998 case entitled People v. Rojas, Bryant, and Colwell, which was the first race-motivated hate crime murder conviction in Los Angeles County history.
Ms. Lacey has played a key role in launching the award winning Women's Re-entry Court and the Co-occurring Disorders (mental health) Court, heading various committees to enhance the enforcement of laws against graffiti, coordinating the multi-departmental team which launched the first Los Angeles County Veterans Court, and working with Central Operations to streamline the prosecution of all gang cases in Central Los Angeles. She also partnered with the Los Angeles Rape Treatment Center to mandate sexual assault training for juvenile court prosecutors, and was instrumental in establishing the first Animal Cruelty Prosecution Program in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. She was named by the Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journal as one of California's Top Women Litigators.

A Ford Dealer's Report
From Tom Selkis' (Latham Ford) Facebook.........
True story at the dealership.....
"I'll try to make this as short and to the point as I can...
One of my salesmen here had a women in his office yesterday wanting to lease a brand new Focus. As he was reviewing her credit app with her, he noticed she was on social security disability. He said to her you don't look like your disabled and unable to work. She said well I'm really not, I could work if I wanted to, but I make more now than I did when I was working and got hurt (non-disabling injury).
She said the gov't sends her $1500.00 a month in 1 check, she gets $700.00 a month on an EBT card (food stamps), and $800.00 a month for rent. Oh yeah!! and 250 minutes free on her phone. That is just south of $3500.00 a month.
When she was working she was taking home about $330.00 per week. Do the math and then ask yourself why the hell should she go back to work. If you multiply that by millions of people you start to realize the scope of the problem we face as a country. Once the socialist have 51% of the population in that same scenario we are finished.
The question is when do we cross that threshold if we haven't already, and there are not enough people working to pay enough taxes to support the non-working people? Riots?? Be prepared to protect your homes.
She didn't lease the Focus here because the dealer down the road beat our deal by $10.00/month. Glad to know she is so frugal with her hard earned money."

The position was for a Specialist but my boss didn't feel that any of the candidates, including myself, were really up to that level. Honestly, he's right, I'm definitely not. Even though I have the technical skills and experience, I lack others that the position requires. While I know I am capable of learning and handling the responsibilities, his decision to not hire me as a Specialist makes sense. That said, he offered me the job as a Technician II, with the intent to move up to a Specialist.
So yea, after 4+ years working there part time, I'm finally going to be full time. Exciting.

Been pretty busy lately. I took over as the Debian maintainer of Hugs (a Haskell interpreter), which is pretty fun. It now seems to build happily on all the autobuild arches.
Weekends have been nuts. I have been out of town every weekend since easter, and will be out of town for the next few weekends. For mother's day, my mom rode in a horse show and won her first 2nd place ribon! She was very happy and I was proud. She's been working hard.
My laptop is working well, though builtin wireless might not work for a while :(
Work has been busy with new work and new deadlines.
The Haskell Wiki is doing well with frequent updates. There has been discussion in the Haskell community about what to do with 3rd party libraries; how to build and distribute them well. The problem is pretty hard for Haskell because there are a number of major compilers and GHC does not have binary compatibility between releases. You can read the Haskell libraries mailing list for more info.
I gave two talks on Haskell for the open source club a few weeks back.
I'm probably going to be moving soon, and gave notice to my landlord that I'm moving out. They are doing a good job of talking me into staying even though they have given me no compelling reason to do so! Now that's salesmanship.
I seem to have a good email address to confuse non tech type people. I don't know why; maybe this always happens, but non tech people always make stuff up about my email address. I don't know where they get the ideas they do. Changing ".org" to ".com" is just the tip of the iceburg. I always know that someone screwed up when they tells me, "I think I emailed you the other day, but it might not have worked."
Blog Ideas: I've been working on writing a real diary on my new laptop which tracks various things like what did I do for exercise today, what I've been thinking about lately, etc. I'm doing this in emacs-wiki. I hope sometime to integrate such a diary with my notebook from work, my web page, my advogato diary, etc. The tricky part is putting the right stuff in the right places and keeping my private information and writings off of my employer's computer and off of the web :)
Is anyone doing something like this? I posted some elisp code a while ago which posts advogato diaries from emacs buffers. I'd like to echo my most recent diary entry to the front of my web page, and archive my old diary entries.
Well, we were supposed to go to Boston this weekend to visit a friend and help another friend move. We were just outside of town when Phil's car broke down (overheated) and we had to head back home. Boston will have to do without us for a while.
After pointing the car in the right direction, we screwed around for a while and finally went out to a coffee shop and hacked for a while. This week I made new packages for xppaut and hugs. I took over as maintainer of hugs.
Saturday I went out for breakfast with Phil & Jaquelin & walters, then went for a bike ride for a few miles with Phil & Jaquelin. We biked from the campus area to a lake where people walk their dogs (hey, this is Columbus, Ohio, we have to take our "nature" where we can get it.) We wandered around the lake for a while and through the woods to this little river. We walked out onto these rocks on the river and stood there chatting and watching the geese for a while. Eventually, the water level started rising and we became stranded on the rocks before we knew it. (Stranded in the sense that we couldn't escape without getting our feet wet.) We watched the water level rise for a while then took off our shoes and walked through the water back to shore when all of our rock island was gone.
Later, I watched a movie with my gf and we went to bed.
Sunday I got a new laptop, much like the one walters mentions here.
Yesterday I went to this new japanese place in town called "Bento Go-Go" and "Asian Yum-Yum". It was good food.
I sent off the patch that walters and I have been working on. It implements secure updates for apt. It was only 2000 lines of unified diff, (but it had to be the right 2000 lines). I promised myself that I'd wait until this was done before buying a laptop. Now I should be able to get one soon :) See my home page for slightly more information and a link to the patch. I sent it out this morning and we're waiting for some feedback. I'm sure there will be more to do.

I opened my Advogato account during spring break, not really a time to be pulling the keyboard close. Getting away from the hustle and bustle did make me rethink the value of journal entries, both public and private. Isn't it interesting to have a snapshot of what you were thinking of 3 years ago, 10 years ago.. I'd at least like some assurance that I'm improving with age :)
Going to CMU and taking a few CS courses is bound to either create a strong feeling of some sort towards ML. CAML is following a separate track from Standard ML and in my opinion making a very usable language albeit with slightly less panache, but much friendlier compilers. I'll take this moment to mention to schoen that the CAML folks sport yet another web browser.
I came very close about 2 weeks ago to writing a caching IMAP server in CAML mostly to check out the language and finally have a MUA that could do disconnected IMAP. I could direct pine towards my local server and have a ball reading the gobs of mailing list traffic I subject myself to in quaint locals. Thinking it through when I got back, though, I'm not sure that this is the right approach. While it would make a good hack it seems odd that the caching policy would not be handled by the MUA, but another program the user would have to worry about. May write this up for myself, though.

West Virginia's spring gobbler season opens April 25th. It's a season that draws a lot of interest--and often because of when it opens--a lot of contention.
"I got a call last week--and I know I'm going to get more," said Biologist Chris Ryan during a recent edition of West Virginia Outdoors. "Why don't you open the spring turkey season earlier?"
The answer is purely for the protection of the resources. Researchers with the West Virginia DNR have given considerable attention to the wild turkey population. The research included a hen study from years ago which determined half the turkey hens in West Virginia will have gone to nest by May 1.
"May 1st is the actual mid point of when those hens go to nest," said Ryan. " Ohio just replicated the study over there and they agreed the same thing. Right in this region that's about the time they go to nest."
The data doesn't hold true for states to the south. Florida , Georgia , South Carolina , and Alabama all have a much earlier spring gobbler season. Ryan says they can afford to open the season earlier because, their nesting period occurs much earlier. The theory, which has proven true over time, is hens on the nest are less likely to be killed by hunters either errantly or maliciously in poaching.
"Whenever they set the dates and this was before my time, they actually agreed on that fourth Monday in April," Ryan said. "It's actually before the mid-point of the medium of when those hens go to nest. But it's late enough that they're already well into their egg laying. It's actually done to protect those hens."
Some hunters complain they hear more gobbling activity in the days leading up to the season. Ryan says that doesn't necessarily mean the gobbling is over before the four-week season ends. Biologists say after the first two weeks of the season, most hens are on the nest and gobblers are still in search of a breeding mate. The gobblers are likely more receptive to a hunters call when they're desperate to find more mates.

John 14:1-6New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
14 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going."
Jesus the Way to the Father
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The normal male urethral opening is at the tip or end of the penis.
Hypospadias is a congenital anomaly in which the urethral opening is at the base of the penis, or along the inferior aspect of the shaft of the penis. Hypospadias is usually associated with an abnormal curvature of the penis, called "chordee". Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects seen in infant boys. Surgery is necessary to allow normal urination, to correct the penis deformity, and to ensure normal sexual functioning. The repair is performed before the child reaches school age.
Surgical repair of hypospadias is done while the child is deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia). The goals of the surgery are to repair the abnormal curvature of the penis, and to create a new urethra at the tip of the penis. A small piece of foreskin can be used to create a tube to extend the urethral length to allow placement of the urethral opening at the tip of the penis. Circumcision should NOT be performed at birth so that the foreskin can be used for the repair.
The type of repair depends on the severity of the defect. Mild defects may be repaired in a single procedure, while severe defects may require two or more procedures. Hypospadias repair is usually performed before the age of three years.

KCPT's Health Weekly Roundup looks at major health headlines and stories you may have missed from around the web.
Due to poor air quality, in some big cities in China it literally is not safe to go outside. The New York Times has a chilling look at this issue, through the eyes of Edward Wong, their correspondent in China.
He writes: "Residents of its boom cities and a growing number of rural regions question the safety of the air they breathe, the water they drink and the food they eat. It is as if they were living in the Chinese equivalent of the Chernobyl or Fukushima nuclear disaster areas."
Wong says in the article that he uses an app on his cellphone to check the air quality in Beijing, as monitored by the United States Embassy, to see if it's safe to take his 9-month-old daughter outside.
"Most days, she ends up housebound. Statistics released Wednesday by the Ministry of Environmental Protection revealed that air quality in Beijing was deemed unsafe for more than 60 percent of the days in the first half of 2013."
On October 1, 2013, if you don't have health insurance, you must sign up for coverage through the new health care marketplaces, or pay a fine. Opponents of the law are encouraging people not to sign up for health insurance. FreedomWorks is behind one of the more aggressive efforts against the law.
"They can skip the exchange, pay the fine, and in doing that, do what's best for them financially, and we hope help hasten the collapse of Obamacare," said Dean Clancy, the group's vice president for policy. FreedomWorks has also created a bit of civil disobedience theater as part of its campaign — inviting people to symbolically burn (fictional) Obamacare insurance cards. Of course there is no such thing as an Obamacare card. But that's not a problem. FreedomWorks is making its own, and distributing them."
Read the full article by Julie Rovner on NPR's site.
The New York Times highlights road blocks faced by the uninsured in Missouri.
Looking for the new health insurance marketplace, set to open in this state in two months, is like searching for a unicorn. The marketplace, or exchange, being established by the federal government under President Obama's health care law has no visible presence here, no local office, no official voice in the state and no board of local advisers. It is being run like a covert operation, with no marketing or detailed information about its products or their prices. While states like Colorado, Connecticut and California race to offer subsidized insurance to their citizens, Missouri stands out among the states that have put up significant obstacles. It has refused to create an insurance exchange, leaving the job to the federal government. It has forbidden state and local government officials to cooperate with the federal exchange. It has required insurance counselors to get state licenses before they can help consumers navigate the new insurance market. And, like many states, it has refused to expand Medicaid." "It's like running an obstacle course every day of the week, but the course changes from day to day," said Herb B. Kuhn, president of the Missouri Hospital Association, a strong advocate of expanded coverage.
Colorado takes a different approach, embracing Obamacare, as outlined in this article.
Television commercials have already run suggesting that buying health coverage through the state's new insurance market, Connect for Health Colorado, will feel like winning the World Series. The market's employees are traveling the state to explain how it will work, often in electric yellow T-shirts with the message, "Got Insurance?" In the coming weeks, 400 guides will be trained to help the uninsured sign up for coverage, with some targeting groups like Hispanics, gay and lesbian citizens, and even truckers.
The situation in Kansas is spelled out by Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, in this article from KCUR's Bryan Thompson.
Praeger says companies that are hesitant to jump in to the marketplace right away, may be missing a big opportunity. She thinks people will be reluctant to switch to a different company after they get coverage next year. "My biggest concern is that people understand what they're eligible for and begin to reap the benefits of having access to health care services because they have insurance," she says.

Gout is a type of arthritis. It occurs when uric acid builds up in blood and causes inflammation in the joints.
Gouty arthritis - acute; Gout - acute; Hyperuricemia; Tophaceous gout; Tophi; Podagra; Gout - chronic; Chronic gout; Acute gout; Acute gouty arthritis
Gout is caused by having higher-than-normal levels of uric acid in your body. This may occur if:
If too much uric acid builds up in the fluid around the joints (synovial fluid), uric acid crystals form. These crystals cause the joint to swell and become inflamed.
The exact cause is unknown. Gout may run in families. The problem is more common in men, in women after menopause, and people who drink alcohol.
The condition may also develop in people with:
Gout may occur after taking medicines that interfere with the removal of uric acid from the body. People who take certain medicines, such as hydrochlorothiazide and other water pills, may have higher levels of uric acid in the blood.
Symptoms of acute gout:
People will have no symptoms after a first gout attack. Many people will have another attack in the next 6-12 months.
Some people may develop chronic gout. This is also called gouty arthritis. This condition can lead to joint damage and loss of motion in the joints. People with chronic gout will have joint pain and other symptoms most of the time.
Tophi are lumps below the skin around joints or other places such as the finger tips and ears. Tophi can develop after a person has had gout for many years. These lumps may drain chalky material.
Tests that may be done include:
Not everyone with high uric acid levels in the blood has gout. A level over 7 mg/dL is high.
Take medicines for gout as soon as you can if you have a sudden attack.
Take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or indomethacin when symptoms begin. Talk to your health care provider about the correct dose. You will need stronger doses for a few days.
Your doctor may prescribe medicines you take daily (such as allopurinol or probenecid) to decrease uric acid levels in your blood. You may need these medicines if:
Diet and lifestyle changes may help prevent gouty attacks:
Proper treatment of acute attacks allows people to live a normal life. However, the acute form of the disease may progress to chronic gout.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of acute gouty arthritis.
You may not be able to prevent gout but may be able to avoid things that trigger symptoms.

Via Curbside Cycle blog:
Dear Don Cherry,
We at Curbside Cycle are hoping you will lend an ear, an eye and an open mind.
Long ago American diplomats to China used to judge the prosperity of that country by the amount of cars on the road. Today, any city driver knows that the original ideals of autonomy and freedom that fueled the automotive industry have been replaced with frustration, rage, and gridlock. Prosperity can mean many things, and as drivers sit angrily in their vehicles haltingly crawling through the city streets, quality of life can feel less than prosperous.
You don't know us, but we are an independent business – the independent business that introduced Toronto to the ultimate object of real prosperity, the Dutch bicycle, which transports its riders with dignity and swish of fashionable flair that looks fantastic with a snappy suit. Judging by your eclectic wardrobe, by this time, your ears should be perked. We're probably the people that gave urban Toronto that image of the left-wing latte-sipping bicyclist. Our bicycles are probably not best suited to the suburbanite bicycle hobbyist that voted Ford into power; you see, for us bikes just aren't political. Like a bed or toaster oven they are so embedded into our lifestyle, they become part of the background. We aren't using them to crusade, we are using them to take kids to school, to get to work (happy and refreshed instead of angry), get groceries, and explore this fantastic city of ours.
Mr.Cherry, the fact is that if you live downtown, bicycles are simply the best way to get around. They reduce car congestion, helping those who must drive do so faster and easier. Bicycles make a great deal of fiscal sense, keeping the population fit and healthy and reducing costs all over the map.
The stereotypes you are parroting have changed. Yes, many people who want a change ride a bicycle (you can call them left-wing pinkos but they are fighting for a cause, just as you do in your work with children's charities), but many other cyclists simply do so because IT MAKES SENSE. They are as politically attached to their bicycles as they are to their toaster ovens. They have Bay Street jobs, watch hockey and some even voted for Rob Ford. People ride because cars can no longer keep their promise of freedom and autonomy, the bicycle can. You see, we don't like the gravy train anymore than those folks in "Ford country", but you may be surprised by how many Ford supporters ride around each day by bicycle. In other words, the stereotype isn't particularly helpful and certainly doesn't unify a city in desperate need of a diverse transportation solution.
So we'd like to take a little egg off your face and allow you to (literally) do a bit of backpedalling. We'd like to give you a bicycle. In a blushing shade of ironic pink, this bike will be customized to your own remarkable style. The bike will be a Pashley from the United Kingdom, a company that has been producing real city bikes for 80 years, and the details will be custom painted by Noah Rosen of Velocolour. We're asking the city to choose their favorite Don Cherry pattern (below) whether it be be a Plaid, a floral, or what-have-you. And we'd like you to come by, pick it up and person, and go for a latte with us.
Oh, and you can invite your friend Rob, too.
Kind regards,
Curbside Cycle
Give Curbside Cycle a hand and help them choose the colour for Don's custom ride here.

Our new pup (9 months) is proving to be much more difficult to train than our first. Basic OB took a while and during CC to here, she had a very high tolerance to stimulation. She is super high energy and comes out of Yelowstone's TNT Explosion (Nitro) lines. Lots of potential I would hate to miss out on as a rookie trainer.
I've been thinking about sending her to a pro to get her through FF, handling & blinds. The goal is an awesome waterfowl hunting partner.
The family and I are a bit concerned with the months she will be away. Does it have any negative impact on bonding? My guess is we are looking at 4 months or more depending...

Yesterday I had the pleasure of defending the Boy Scouts of America, well it was not to hard to do as the BSA's program pretty much speaks for itself, but none the less I found myself standing in the check out line of a local store on my way to Round table. I was proudly wearing my uniform patiently waiting as the clerk once again called for a price check.
A lady behind me commented on the new uniform and how it was not a "Flashy" as the red tabbed and numbered shirt. She asked if it was a down play to not look as "Scouty" (what ever that means).
I explained that I really was not part of the decision making process, but I thought the intent was to be more "Outdoorsy" To blend in, not in a camouflage way, but more subdued, like the camping gear we use (See Leave no trace).
She said that her was a Cub Scout, but they had to remove him from the program because of the issues that the BSA would not flex on.
Fully knowing were this was going, and not trying to get into it, I smiled and nodded and said that was too bad.
She poked again asking why the BSA was so inflexible, forcing young boys to believe in God. I replied that the BSA does not force anyone to do anything. The BSA just believes that for a young man to make ethical decisions throughout his lifetime that there should be a foundation of faith, any faith. It is not restricted to God, it could be Alla or Buddha, or a Tree. But an understanding that a Higher power has gifted us these great things on Earth so that we can be good stewards of it, that we live by the Golden rule, that we should be Reverent is an important part of a Scouts foundation.
As I could see that it was not sinking in, I again turned and waited as another price check was called for.
She then poked and asked… well what about Gays? I asked her, what about them? The BSA does not want Gay's in the program she said. I tried to explain to her that the Boy Scouts of America believes that homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the obligations in the Scout Oath and Law to be morally straight and clean in thought, word, and deed. Scouting's position with respect to homosexual conduct accords with the moral positions of many millions of Americans and with religious denominations to which a majority of Americans belong. Because of these views, the Boy Scouts of America believes that a known homosexual is not an appropriate role model of the Scout Oath and Law for boys.
She asked if I thought that was discrimination, and I answered, it sure is, and I think it is an appropriate way to discriminate as I want my own Sons to have role models that are consistent with our faith base and family values.
Then she said…yeah well.. I did not want my kid around guns. They are harmful and the Boy Scouts should not be gloryfing guns and killing.
I asked were she thought the BSA did that? There is not Hunting Merit badge, we only shoot at targets (Paper targets), and safety is paramount on the BSA's ranges. I told her that in all my time, I have never had to pry on to a range, but have had to kick them off so others can get a shot.
The BSA teaches respect and safety of firearms. That it is ok to participate in Shooting sports, and that by teaching and encouraging proper fire arm safety, we actually reduce the risk of those guns turning into something harmful.
She said, well I just don't like guns…why can't the Boy Scouts just be flexible?
At that point I had finally reached the checkout and was feeling pretty good about the way the BSA looked. A few other ears were now in the conversation and so I parted ways saying, the Boy Scouts of America is a private organization that welcomes everyone that wants to participate in ITS program, the program that encourages values and character. A program that wants its Scouts to be safe and provided with positive role models. An organization that wants a young man to grow up with an understanding of servant leadership and that he can see that model of servant leadership in our God.
The BSA is flexible… it's may not be your cup of tea if you can't live the values set out in the program. There are other opportunities for your son, the YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs, Police Activities Leagues etc. Maybe the Boy Scouts just was not for you.
She stood and stared for a moment, and simply said, I guess not.
I told her to have a Great evening and we parted ways. My oldest son, who was with me, asked what her problem was? I told him that she just did not get it. He smiled and we left.
Scouting is for everyone. Everyone that believes in the Oath and Law and that the world would be better if there were more Scouts.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Did you know that everyone's gut flora composition—the natural microorganisms that support digestive, immune and overall health—is different?* This flora population is like a fingerprint, your fingerprint. What's more, the balance of flora in a woman's body is also unique, making her beneficial flora needs unique as well.
Probiotics Blended Just for Women
A big concern for women is the balance of bacteria in the vaginal and urinary tracts, areas that are particularly sensitive to an imbalance.† The gut bacterial balance ripples out to affect the body's overall bacterial balance, including the vaginal and urinary bacterial balance, making the health of a woman's intestines particularly important.
New Ultimate Flora Women's Complete 90 Billion is blended specifically for a woman's body and features an ultra-potent 90 billion probiotic cultures in every capsule. The probiotic blend in this formula:
- Is made up of 12 select GPS (Gut Protection System) probiotic strains, which have been scientifically researched for their health benefits. †
- Features a higher amount of GPS Lactobacillus strains (54 billion). The Lactobacillus probiotic strain family is especially beneficial for women as it is the most prevalent healthy bacteria type found in the vaginal and urinary tract. †
- Also contains a blend of colon and bowel supporting GPS Bifidobacteria strains (36 billion) to promote optimum digestive health and regularity in women. †
Gut Concerns
Stress makes women particularly susceptible to disturbances in digestive and bowel health, as well as urogenital health. Add the use of antibiotics to the mix (antibiotics can wipe out all bacteria, good and bad) and a woman's need for a healthy gut flora balance has never been more crucial.
Ultimate Flora Women's Complete is easily incorporated into the busiest of lifestyles. Just one delayed-release capsule each day provides all 90 billion probiotic cultures as part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. † The Lactobacillus strains in this formula produce beneficial compounds that help the body naturally maintain a healthy balance of yeast and digestive bacteria.† The Bifidobacterium strains in this blend help target a women's bowel health and colon needs.†
Consider adding these prebiotic foods (foods that help "feed" the beneficial bacteria in the gut) to your diet, too:
- Chicory root, dandelion greens, Jerusalem artichoke, asparagus
- Garlic, leeks, onion
- High fiber foods

Family: Polyodontidae, Paddlefishes view all from this family
Description Paddlefish (family Polyodontidae) are primitive Chondrostean ray-finned fishes. The paddlefish can be distinguished by its large mouth and its elongated, spatula-like snout, called a rostrum, which is longer than the rest of the head. These fish are not closely related to sharks, which are in a different taxonomic class, but they do have some body parts that resemble those of sharks such as their skeletons, primarily composed of cartilage, and their deeply forked heterocercal tail fins. This type of fish's age is hard to determine but many scientists think that they live 50 years or more.
There are only two modern species of these fish: the Chinese paddlefish (Psephurus gladius) and the American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula). Both have declined greatly in abundance, and the Chinese species may now be extinct. In some areas, paddlefish are referred to as "Spoonbill", "Spoonies" or "Spoonbill Catfish". The American species is Missouri's State Aquatic Animal.
Dimensions Up to 7'1" (2.2 m); 200 lbs (90.7 kg).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Texas.

DeFleur honored for global education vision, leadership
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Lois B. DeFleur, president of Binghamton University, State University of New York, was honored as a visionary and an innovator in educating students for a global age with the 2007 Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education on Tuesday, Sept. 25.
"I am deeply honored to accept the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education on behalf of myself and Binghamton University," said DeFleur. "We are proud to be on the cutting edge of global education, which is so important to our students and our nation."
DeFleur understands "that a well-rounded education is the new currency of today's global economy and [has] demonstrated a true commitment to helping young people develop the skill sets needed to succeed," said Harold McGraw III, chairman, president and chief executive officer of The McGraw-Hill Companies.
DeFleur has overseen the implementation of an innovative, nationally recognized general education program that includes global studies and her leadership has advanced groundbreaking programs that encourage language education across the curriculum and dual-diploma programs with other universities.
"We're proud of the many national awards we've won," DeFleur said. "Our programs are innovative and comprehensive — from inside the classroom to out of the classroom, from the welcome banner on campus to our international arts programs."
Binghamton also brings the world to campus with students from more than 100 nations, international festivals, its dual-diploma program with four Turkish universities and the University Award for Excellence in International Activities. "These things help us keep our 'eyes on the prize,'" said DeFleur. "That prize is global awareness, global respect and global competence."
The McGraw Prize annually recognizes three outstanding individuals who have dedicated themselves to enhancing learning and whose contributions are making a difference. Winners, chosen by a distinguished panel of judges from the education community, receive a gift of $25,000 and a bronze sculpture. Reynauld Smith, an American history teacher in Washington, D.C., and Vivien Stewart, vice president for education of the Asia Society, were also honored this year.
With the gift, DeFleur has established the Lois B. DeFleur International Innovation Fund to support University initiatives such as the recent international co-production of "West Side Story" by Binghamton and DUOC Universidad Católica in Chile.
"The success of our students and the competitiveness of our nation are dependent upon new and creative thinking by educators," said McGraw. "The 2007 McGraw Prize honorees, like those who have gone before them, are focused on the challenges the next generation will be facing, and how to best help them learn and achieve."
DeFleur joins past honorees including former first lady and founder of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, Barbara Bush, former U.S. secretaries of education Richard Riley and Rod Paige and Wendy Kopp, chief executive office and founder of Teach for America.

Gyalwang Karmapa Teaches Daily During The Annual Winter Debates
11th December – Bodhgaya.
From 23 November to 11 December the Gyalwang Karmapa taught daily during the annual winter Kagyu Gunchoe Debates at Tergar Monastery, Bodhgaya. Over this three-week period he offered the reading transmission and teachings on a text by the Eighth Karmapa Mikyö Dorje, called One Hundred Short Instructions (Tri-thung Gyatsa). "I like this text very much," he commented on the first day of the teachings, adding that in Tibet he used to read it aloud to others as a hobby or to pass the time.
The Gyalwang Karmapa taught primarily to an audience of Khenpos and monks participating in the winter debates, however, simultaneous translations into English and Chinese were offered, and many international students also attended. The number of international students grew day by day, until the gompa quickly reached capacity.
The Eighth Karmapa's text One Hundred Short Instructions is divided into chapters covering a broad range of topics, arranged according to the path the Read the rest of this article

Interview: Steve Vai and Tosin Abasi
Your approach is almost pianistic at times, with the left hand tapping out chords on the lower strings while the right plays melodies on the higher strings.
ABASI: Yes, which is easy on an eight-string. Whereas, trying to do the same thing on a six, you only have three strings on each side to work with. But with eight-string, I can tap on two strings and have almost a whole six-string guitar for other stuff.
VAI: It's more real estate.
ABASI: And range. We're talking about frequency. I looked at other instruments outside the guitar, like a piano. It's got quite a range. And if you ever mess around with a bass, sometimes that degree of low end is really gratifying. So to me, the eight-string guitar is a cool integration of all of that into a single instrument.
I wonder if you guys have any influences in common. You came up at different times, but I wonder if you could agree on a short list of ultimate guitarists.
VAI: I was a teenager in the Seventies, so my juice was bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull and all that progressive rock stuff. And there was a period when I studied various genres. Like, I was really into Joe Pass, Danny Gatton, Carlos Santana… But then there were other influences. Probably the music I listen to the most now is Tom Waits, which has nothing to do with anything I do. But I'm just very compelled by people who are connected with the core of creativity. That simple, clear connection which brings forth all of this unique talent. And he's just really in touch with that, to me. But that's me. I mean, I'm 52. You're like…what?
ABASI: I'm 29. So there is definitely a generation difference in terms of what was popular when we were at an impressionable age. But then there's music that carries over through generations.
VAI: What did you listen to, though?
ABASI: It started off, literally, with Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins… I have a deficiency in being versed in classic stuff. I'll have these experiences where I'll hear a Yes song for the first time and be like, "Holy crap, I thought Dream Theater made this up. These guys were doing it 30 and 40 years ago!"
VAI: But in a way that's part of the evolution of music too. Like, I wasn't listening to guys from the Sixties all that much.
ABASI: You listened to current music of your own time.
VAI: Yeah, which was in the Seventies.
ABASI: There's value in the past. Some of my favorite players are ones who are influenced by someone who, technically, I should have listened to. You know what I mean? I might like a contemporary guitarist who is into some of the icons. But I like his stuff more than the icons, because it's an evolution off of those major, essential influences.
VAI: Well, I never sat there and thought, I'm going to take the guitar beyond what anyone's done with it before. I always thought I was the worst! And frankly, I think one of the reasons why I can do the things I can do is because I never thought I was good enough. I always felt like I could do better and better and better.
You were tough on yourself.
VAI: Yeah, tough. Because it was fun, though. When I was young, I wasn't a misfit or anything. I had friends in all the different social groups. But I had issues—just personal issues, insecurities and other things that had happened in my life. And when I got hold of the guitar, the thing that really lit me up about the instrument is you try to do something and you can't, but then you work on it and all of a sudden you can. It's like this little bell that goes off and you say, "Holy shit, I can do anything! All I gotta do is sit here and work on it."
ABASI: Yes! Yes!
VAI: And that was it. All of a sudden, these things started happening, and there's no end to it.
ABASI: I'm getting chills, 'cause I had the exact same experiences.
VAI: Of course, that's how it works. You become fascinated. People ask, "Why did you practice 10 and 15 hours a day?" I don't necessarily think that's normal or even healthy. But it was an escape from other things in my life. And when you can't do something but you work at it and then you can do it, you get this sense of achievement, which is something we all really thrive on, and also a sense of dignity that might have been destroyed by something else. So that in itself creates this feedback effect, this addiction. It was a beautiful thing for me. And when the Zappa gig came along and he was like, "Can you play this?" I was like, "Of course I can play it." 'Cause all you gotta do is work on it. Slowly, slowly, note by note. It was unfathomable to me that any guitar player couldn't do it. And I realized why. They just didn't have the chutzpah to sit there and work on it. And it doesn't necessarily make you great. I don't really think that greatness is a product of discipline. Greatness is an inspiration that a person has. So we can tell people how to be a virtuoso guitar player: just sit and practice really slow and perfectly and make sure you have vibrato and your intonation is perfect and then get faster and faster and just don't do anything that you can't play. Every week click the notch up a bit. And you'll be able to play anything. But that won't make you a great musician.
ABASI: Absolutely.

Often seen whispering furtively to Jayalalithaa, occasionally caught smiling, and never interviewed, the wary-looking Sasikala was her most – perhaps her only – trusted lieutenant.
