Per favore, non mi rompere i coglioni.
I trained GMHR titled labs in the 90s via the "Amish" method and spent many years thinking the collar was an evil, un-necessary tool. I know all about a crisp, snappy sit without the use of an e-collar. As far as I know, yours truly was the first to type the term "Amish training" on the internet. I don't recall ever seeing or hearing it written before I wrote it on the old RTF format.
I used to think the Amish way was the best way.
I decided in 2006 to open my mind and read the same Lardy stuff, that I used to think was no epiphany. I used to think I did essentially the same stuff, only better.
What I found, when I opened my mind and got a new puppy, was a true epiphany. There was a better way. I had it right in front of my nose when the new REtriever Journal came out. I had it right in front of me on VHS tape with Mike's videos. I just didn't let myself see what I had. I wasn't ready yet.
My interpretation of what Pomaise wrote was that he truly wanted to know how the North American trainers get a snappy sit. I did my best to answer. If you don't like my answer, that's OK. I did not tell Polmaise that he must or must not use an e-collar.
I wish you the best in your training, the way that works best for you and your dogs. I was not in any way trying to influence you otherwise.
I was trying my darndest to communicate with Polmaise and address what he seemed to seek.
I took your post as stating that you "highly doubt" that Polmaise was asking for what I wrote.
Maybe I completely misunderstood.
It was no slight on you. Just remembering Blimp's recent thread on wondering how folks would do it without the collar and thinking Polmais was, too.
Also, I don't think my way is better. Love Lardy and have all of his materials and study them daily. I don't do amish or tennis shoe yet. Have no argument with using the collar for well timed punishment, just don't want to do compulsion training. And am intimidated by collar conditioning.
As for Breck's comment about treats at 100 yds. Training the whistle sit with markers and rewards starts close and is based on chaining. You train the chain of behaviors: whistle, sit, look for cast, follow cast, retrieve. Soon the whistle becomes the reward because it indicated the rest of the chain - the end of which is the retrieve and the happy owner. It does work at 100 and 300 yds. Even with an 11 month old pup.
Not trying to be a brat, Chris, just having some Friday night after working very hard, fun!
Thanks for providing this forum - it is a lot of fun!!!
Now, that's not to say that I don't pick my battles.
These dogs are not perfect, and we can't demand perfection in every little thing.
There are some "issues" with every dog, that I'm willing to live with.
As long as it doesn't interfere with the work I need from the dog, at that point in it's training.

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
get your dog out and TRAIN! caryalsobrook 2013
Maybe my comprehension skills aren't that bad after all.
I have found that when one has experience as you obviously do, with obedience, training, trialing, handling, etc, the Lardy material is readily understood and adapted.
I'd suggest you not seek specific details on the forum, but rather arm yourself with these materials and read through "step by step" in detail. I'm confident you will pick some things up and may very well find that this "system" with all the detailed building blocks upon which a solid foundation is created, can build some nice handling dogs.
The one method I mentioned earlier, following dog out and using pinch correction, works like a charm. Have you tried it or something similar.
Although we use an ecollar using an ecollar correction on a dog who did not stop where you wanted or had a wide loopy sit that put him well to the side of desired line, would be lost on the dog.
The method I mentioned would simultaneously include "SIT" "Pinch" "Burn" followed by another "Sit" after releasing button then repeat say 2 - 3 times.
For you, doing the same simply using the pinch correction will probably result in a dog that quickly puts on the brakes when you blow the whistle.
This is how some do it.
For a younger dog who is just learning but not getting it we may clip a 100 foot length of rope to their collar and hold onto rope. This works too but be warned. If not careful your feet will get tangled in rope and rope burn hurts! Wear gloves.

A crisp sit is taught in the kitchen or backyard and is a way of life. Once a dog learns there are situations where a crisp sit is not required obedience erodes. Training tools can be used to re-enforce training remotely.
Retrievers Online may be of interest. Dennis Voigt and those he gets to write artivles do an excellent job.
All US retriever HT/FT training goes back to the foundation Rex Carr developed. While the e collar is used extensively it is just a tool. It doesn't teach anything, the trainer does that.

with Thy Tran
In Northern China, serving heaps of
dumplings called jiao zi at the start of the Lunar New Year is the
favorite way to share wishes of prosperity and success. The name jiao
zi literally means money, since these fat little dumplings look like the
gold and silver ingots that were once China's currency.
this 4-part video series, Thy Tran shows you every step of the
dumpling-making process. She starts with kneading together a simple
flour and water dough.
Next, Thy demonstrates one of her favorite fillings made with ground pork and shrimp. There are also recipes for two more fillings, a luxurious roast duck filling and a vegetarian-friendly egg-and-chive filling.
we'll move on to how to roll out the dumpling skins, with a special
dumpling rolling pin. Tran shows you how to pleat the dumplings for that
three-sided shape that's traditional for pan-fried potstickers, and
then finally, we'll fry up those potstickers so they're crunchy and
golden-brown on the bottom, but still soft and tender on top.

And the Dem Party OBAMA don't! Wright, Farrakhan and "the police acted stupidly" OBAMA!
Obama harbors more racist sentiments that 80% of true Conservatives. There is 10-15% of your "fringe" that are going racist BECAUSE of Obama. Obama gives blacks a black eye when it comes to racism. One they may well deserve...since they vote color 95% of the time.
Blacks and the Dem Party have ZERO CRED in calling out ANYBODY on racism. All that remains is for Wright's "chickens to come home to roost". It won't be the chickens he thinks though.
Ugly stuff! Live and learn.
Just wanted to make I understand the 3 certainties of life.......death, taxes and the hypocrisy of the left.
Reading the last several posts, it's seems as though this thread started about one guy, and then shifted to a bunch of other people who have nothing to do with the incident in question.
But Dems are silent on the Robert Menendez underage prostitution story. Shocking...
Yes, I know that there are some on the Left that are equally as offensive. But, and this is the main point fair or not, this is a problem of the perception of the Republican party, and not the Democrats. Instead of attacking offensive people on the left like many people on this board is doing, they should be criticizing and attacking Todd Kincannon. I don't see enough Republicans on this board doing.
hypocrisy of the left.

Buck Island Reef
National Monument
Virgin Islands
The Coral Reef
Of all the reef residents, the corals have the most extraordinary habits; these are the architects, the builders, and the landlords of the reef. Ranging in size from a pinhead to a raindrop, billions of tiny master builders, called polyps, erect the dazzling array of reef forms that give quarter for all other life in the coral community. As architects of the reef, they must follow natural, but nonetheless strict, "building codes" that keep them:
- within tolerances of light,
- temperature,
- salinity,
- oxygen,
- motion,
- depth, and
- firmness of the base on which they build.
Usually associated with the shallow waters of offshore tropical islands, coral reefs are seldom found farther than 22° north or south of the equator. They occur only off the east coasts of the world's continents, where prevailing winds and the earth's rotation push tropical waters north and south toward the poles. Reef builders reject, as substandard, building sites along deeper western continental shores; there cold upwelling currents move toward the equator and preclude their growth.
Here in the Caribbean, waters are clear, maximum light is available, and temperatures meet polypean standards—rarely falling below 20°C (68°F). Currents move gently, bringing the plankton—microscopic animals and plants—on which the nocturnally-feeding polyps subsist. In these waters too, polyps find solid foundations at acceptable depths. Reefs seldom develop in water deeper than 45 to 60 meters (150 to 200 feet), and soft or shifting bottoms have poor coral formations or none at all.
Construction of a typical aquatic housing project begins when the free-swimming coral larva attaches itself to some firm surface, becomes a full-fledged polyp, and begins secreting its own limy exterior skeleton. This single polyp and all its many descendants, building on one another, budding new members as they go, erect their communal skeleton outward and upward toward the all-important rays of the sun. Colony after colony in hundreds of shapes and sizes ultimately create the reefs that decorate the ocean floor—spires, trees, shrubs, stone-hard staghorns, huge boulders that appear to be designed after the cortex of a monstrous brain belonging to some supersized being. Each shape and design represents a species of coral.
The larger, more rigid structures become the "buildings" of the coral community. Among them, surrounding them, are the plantlike shapes of near relatives—the gorgonians, sea whips, and sea fans. Only a small percentage of growing things in the reef community are true plants. Reef ecology is one in which the animals far outnumber the plants—the reverse of lush land communities where plants outnumber animals.
Even as the polyps erect their dwellings, multi-colored fishes and other marine creatures already are moving in. These residents comprise a second category of reef inhabitants. To the still backdrop of coralline shapes, they add life and motion and color. The third major group of creatures at the reef are those which come to feed upon its inhabitants. Sharks, snappers, and barracudas, among others, cruise slowly among the corals, seeking the opportunity to flash toward unwary prey. For every creature there is a role to fulfill and a purpose unique to its own kind.
The overall effect is one of pure fantasy. A world so sensate, so unmercifully beautiful, could not have been created by the richest of imaginations. In the coral reef, the gifts of life and beauty are concentrated as they are nowhere else in nature.
From Pastureland to Parkland: Buck Island's History
Buck Island, beautiful as it is, bears the scars of long habitation. Since the 1750s, the island has been used for a residence, and for agriculture, pasturage, and lumbering. In 1948 Buck Island became a park and was administered by the Virgin Islands Government; in 1961 the area was transferred to the National Park Service.
When colonists first set eye on Buck Island in the 1770s, it was covered with Lignumvitae trees,locally called Pokholdt trees. The island took its name from these trees. Corrupted by usage, the name changed from "Pocken-Eyland" (Dutch) to "Bocken" and finally to "Buck". The latter two names refer to goats that were pastured on the island beginning in the 1750s. Sometime during the 19th century, the Lignumvitae trees were cut for lumber—incidentally creating abundant pasture for the island's goats. When rapid regrowth of the forest threatened the goats in the early 1900s, the eastern half of the island was burned over repeatedly.
Another animal associated with man—the rat— indirectly created a separate ecological problem in the early 1900s. Bubonic plague, which is spread by rats, was epidemic in Puerto Rico at that time. Declaring war on rats, officials introduced mongooses in many areas, including Buck Island. Because mongooses forage during the day, and rats are nocturnal animals, the strategy failed. The mongooses prey primarily on the island's native birds and reptiles, and the rats continue to survive.
Despite the continued presence of some introduced animals, Buck Island belongs more to nature today than at any time in its recent history. The return to nature began with the elimination of the goats in the 1950s. Overgrazing had by that time reduced the island to a more-or-less desert like appearance. As the vegetation returned at a quickening pace, Buck Island again became home to a variety of native species. The island is now one of the important Caribbean nesting sites left where the pesticide-ridden brown pelican is still producing live young.
Safety Tips for Sea and Shore
- The intense tropical sunlight of this region is more likely to cause you discomfort and pain than any other hazard here. Protect yourself from the sun by using plenty of waterproof sun-blocking lotion. Wear a hat, a shirt, and other protective clothing when practical.
- Always swim or snorkel with at least one other person. In an emergency, this "buddy system" can provide immediate help. If you haven't snorkeled before, be sure to practice in shallow water before daring the reef.
- While enjoying the waters off Buck Island don't forget that some hazards do exist. The most dangerous "creatures" you will encounter are boats; watch for them when swimming or snorkeling. Swim quickly out of high traffic areas such as anchorage and mooring sites.
- Avoid touching corals; most have sharp surfaces and some sting.
- If you encounter a barracuda don't be alarmed; consider yourself fortunate to have seen this fascinating reef inhabitant. Although a barracuda may follow you, it means no harm, so don't hurt yourself in a frantic attempt to escape. However never feed a barracuda. Feeding could arouse aggressive behavior from this many-toothed predator, or the fish could have trouble distinguishing between the food and your fingers.
- Onshore, several of Buck Island's plants are poisonous to touch or eat. Do not handle any plant that you cannot positively identify as harmless.
Protecting Your Park
A few regulations are necessary to preserve the natural values of this park area. Following these rules during your visit will make it possible for you and others to enjoy the park another time.
- Fires must be confined to picnic area grills or your own personal self-contained stove or grill. No open fires are allowed.
- Camping is not permitted on Buck Island, but you can camp aboard your boat offshore.
- Plants and animals in the park area are protected. The collection, harassment, or destruction of any plant or animal is prohibited. Seashell collecting is restricted; contact a park ranger for more information. The Marine Garden, a nearly pristine reef and lagoon area, is closed to all fishing and shellfishing.
- Coral formations are fragile; avoid anchoring in them. Touching or standing on coral is also destructive.

RUMI: "The protection against God's anger"
Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi (Allah be pleased with him) said:
A sober-minded man said to Jesus,
"What in this existence is hardest to bear?"
"O dear soul," he replied, "the hardest is God's anger,
from which Hell is trembling as we are."
"And what is the protection against God's anger?"
Said Jesus, "To abandon your own anger at once."
Rasul Allah (sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Whoever knows himself, knows his Lord" and whoever knows his Lord has been given His gnosis and nearness.

Bro rami, can post the reference from where Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi must have got this narration between Prophet Jesus and a "sober minded man"? Admittedly, I don't find it in Quran nor any hadith (atleast not to my limited knowledge). I shall appreciate it. Cheers!

Rumi was a Muslim and a Sufi poet who lived in the 13th century just
after Al-Gazzali. Sufis saved many stories attributed to Jesus that do not
appear in Christian scripture. There is also a common belief that the
undocumented years of Jesus' early adulthood were likely spent as a Sufi
If you read Rumi in English, try to find the Barks translation.

Talk focuses on 'search for randomness'
Posted February 25, 2010; 04:54 p.m.
Persi Diaconis, a former professional magician who is now a professor of statistics and mathematics at Stanford University, will speak on "The Search for Randomness" at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 4, in McCosh 10.
Diaconis is well known for his work on problems involving randomness. Experiments and analysis show that some of the most primitive examples of random phenomena -- such as tossing a coin, spinning a roulette wheel and shuffling cards -- usually are not so random. In his lecture, Diaconis will examine the philosophical basis of randomness and implications for the use -- and misuse -- of statistical models.
The talk is designated as a Louis Clark Vanuxem Lecture sponsored by the University Public Lecture Series.

Parachromis Hybridization
Hi everyone.
New to this forum and asking around about what the chances of the 5 Parachromis species hybridizing.
I am not a fan of hybrids but would love to keep a group of these fish. Before anyone asks I don't really want to keep all one gender. I was hoping to have a large male Dovii and a female with the other 4 species as females together. Do you think the male would choose one of the other species over the female Dovii? Another option would be to put a few of each species (males and females) in an indoor pond (2,000 gallons) and keep them that way. All advice welcome.
Hybridization easily happens among parachromis, and there's always a chance the male may not chose a dovii female, especially if the female is not yet ready to mate, and there is another parachromis female who is.
You best bet it to make sure that each female has a male counterpart. Turd Ferguson on monsterfishkeepers.com did just that. Last I read, he was unable to keep a dovii pair with the other parachromis.
Do a search there on his parachromis project.

Get a double dose of mint! Cool mint chips flavor these brownies, and a mint-chocolate glaze generously highlights the top.
Can't find mint chocolate chips? Use semisweet chocolate chips and add a few drops of mint extract to the Brownie batter, and a couple of drops to the Shiny Chocolate Glaze.
What a refreshing combination! For another, try using raspberry-flavored chocolate chips for the mint ones and tint the mint frosting pink.

The Edwardians: Secrets and Desires showcases the broad range of art created by artists working and exhibiting in London during the years 1900 to 1914. The exhibition reflects a time of great social change — from a period of established order to the beginnings of a more modern world — and reveals the variety of possibilities that became available during this time.
Many Australian artists went to Europe at the turn of the 20th century to live and study. Likewise, artists from Ireland and America sought to establish themselves in the artistic centres of London and Paris. The Edwardians: Secrets and Desires places the work of these expatriate artists within the context of British art of the time. Artists moved regularly between London and Paris, and were keen to have their works included in exhibitions in both centres. Parisians such as Auguste Rodin and Jacques-Emile Blanche regularly exhibited their work in London, and Rodin became President of the London-based International Society of Painters, Sculptors and Gravers.
The exhibition catalogue, fully illustrated in colour, contains comprehensive essays and information on all of works in the exhibition and is available from ngashop.com.au.

The current adminstration is putting the option on the table.
Is this a ploy in an attempt to get speculators to bid the PPB down or do you think they are serious? How much will the tax payer have to pay to replentish our reserve?
Saudis have agree to produce more in offsetting the concerns over Libyan oil. This has yet to show any affect on the PPB.
On another note, Gietner references danger to "global economy". Shouldn't he be concerned with the "USA economy" first and foremost? Afterall, it is thier policy that has placed us in this situation of rising gasoline prices.

I am a recent transplant to Wake Forest, NC with a serious turkey addiction. As I am brand stinking new to the area and don't know a single hunter, I'm starting my research for possible places to chase birds come April.
Using the info available on the NC Wildlife Resources pages, I've found a few public game lands within a decent drive and I'm hoping for some insight or opinions. I'm not looking for the location of your special roost tree (unless you feel lead to provide it , just some initial insight about hunting locations before I start putting boots to ground.
The Public Land locations I've found near here are Butner-Falls of Neuse Game Land (40,899 acres), Embro Game Land (8,892), Sandy Creek Game Land (928 acres), Shocco Creek Game Land (7,957), and Brinkleyville Game Land (1,819). Does anyone have insight or comments on any of these areas or others within drive of Wake Forest?
Also, do you know of any special youth hunts around this area or how to get engaged there? I've got a 10 year old boy that is bouncing off the walls to hunt on youth day after a close call with a gobbler last year.

Ooh! badvogato rated me as master! I'm not sure I deserve it though. And kudos to MartySchrader for certifying me too.
Having has a crappy fortnight struggling to interface with Cendant's Galileo system for work (partly because it's sadistic, and partly because I'm stupid), and a whole bunch of other crappy work-related crap, I'm now sweating like a pig, sitting behind the counter of a boiling hot gaming café. I've been run off my feet all day, and now all I want to do is sleep. Helping out friends sucks! :-)
Meanwhile, I'm finding hacking on the software to drive the FusionWiki site more fun than hacking on the project itself! The small CMS I started hacking together is beginning to take on a life of its own!

Low 1 through 6; Medium 1 through 6; High 1 through 6?
This is a great site. Found my puppy on RTF and the input and advice is very benificial. Thanks for the help.

Receive unique offers and information on specialist programs, workshops, free webinars and more.
According to the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse, 20% of the US population over age 60 and 10% of those over age 20 had diabetes in 2005 – and that number is steadily growing. With the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes, personal trainers are more likely to have clients with this chronic disease. This course will help you understand how to work safely and effectively with persons diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Learn how:
Course Objectives
Course contents include: Steps to completing this course
Please note: This online only course does not include a book/DVD/CD. You will not receive any additional items by mail when making your purchase.
Overall, it was a short but useful material, which covered all information that you need to know. There was a case study at the end. The only thing that concerns me was that the sources used in this chapter were mainly from the 90s. Some information might have been outdated.
The webinar is misleading, it appears as something to listen and follow along- but it is a chapter in a unknown book, and questions are not straight forward because there could be more than one answer.
Diabetes is a dangerous national epidemic. Professionals with a good understanding of the disease and the know-how to help clients manage or prevent type 2 diabetes are much in need to help combat this increasingly common disease. The class was thorough and concise.
Need to update information.
Very Informative Course
good info, a little long-winded however. on the test, one of my answers was marked incorrect, but there was no "correct" answer provided.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for the feedback Lauren. An ACE Representative will be contacting you shortly.
It would be nice to know how to apply this in rural/low-income areas where lots of change is needed for people to manage their diabetes; i.e. diet, monitoring blood glucose, visit a doctor etc. It is helpful to have some awareness of FITT/FIRST in helping new gym clients.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for your feedback, we will look into incorporating these suggestions in a future update.
The text was mixed together for type 1 and type 2 making it difficult to keep the differences straight. Many of the suggestions were "do this" "but watch out for this". Which tells me its all a crap shoot. Changing the text to be more professional or more clear would be more helpful.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for the helpful feedback. We will look into updating this course.
Very good at helping to gain a better understanding of diabetes.
I used the material and additonal information from classes I'm taking to put together a 1 hour presentation to members of the gym that i work at. The material given in this class was excellent!
This was a great source. I work with this population very seldomly but im glad to have the tools on what precausions to take when dealing with them. ACE has done a great job in helping with this..
Great info! The question related to getting medical information from the physician refers to page 168 in the PDF, however the pages only go from 138 - 157.
FROM ACE: Thank you for your feedback. This was a typo and the reference page has been corrected to page 142.
Very informative for developing effective program with Type 1 and 2 diabetic clients. I look forward to using this information, and wish more case studies were included to provide more real-life examples of what was taught.

PH patient associations are as unique as the patients themselves. Some are established by doctors hoping to improve patient care, some by families trying to make a difference for their loved ones, and others are started by patients themselves, through sheer dedication to finding and helping others who are in similar situations.
Whatever your circumstances, these tips and suggestions, collected from leaders around the world, will help you think of effective solutions.
"We began by doing all that was possible to help PH patients that wouldn't cost anything or very little: give correct information; listen to their problems and if you have a solution that works, offer it; visit other patients during their hospital stays to show others that you ARE living with PH, but your life is as pleasant and full as anyone else's. A million other things can be done with just a little money and lots of time and work." – AMIP Italy

Here's great-tasting tiramisu that's sprinkled with candy – a delicious dessert!
Start a new tradition by hosting a Dessert Open House. Ask guests to bring a favorite dessert to share and make sure this tiramisu treat is on the menu! Here are
a few to help you set the table and set the mood:
• You may want to consider using your dining table as well as two or three smaller tables. This allows guests to gather and mingle in more than one area.
• Create an atmosphere. Use lots of twinkling lights and candles. Have a warm fire in the fireplace to welcome guests.
• Nuts and cheeses are perfect alongside decadent desserts. Check out your deli for cheeses such as Camembert, Liederkranz, Brie, Stilton, blue and Cheddar. Serve with platters of fresh apple and pear slices.
• For coffee lovers, serve this dessert with freshly brewed Italian roast coffee and an assortment of fun coffee toppings, such as: whipped cream, eggnog, chocolate shavings, raw sugar, ground cinnamon and flavored liqueurs, such as almond, hazelnut, orange or coffee.

Seminar series explores the ethics of reading
Posted January 29, 2010; 02:29 p.m.
Close reading, such as carefully unpacking the import of words in a poem, is the backbone of literary study. A new seminar series allows Princeton community members to apply this practice to a range of texts in law and the humanities while exploring its ethical implications.
Titled "The Ethics of Reading and the Cultures of Professionalism," the three-year seminar series is intended for scholars, students and local community members especially interested in the relation of the humanities to law and to professional training. The series is designed for participants to examine how different interpretations can arise and how reading itself can be understood as an ethical task.
The public session of the seminars is from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays, Feb. 3 to April 28, in 301 Marx Hall. It will be followed by a session open only to graduate students and approved undergraduates enrolled for credit. Students enroll for each course of interest to them by semester; they do not enroll in the full series.

(Photo: Brian Wilson)
The series was launched in spring 2009 by Peter Brooks, a scholar of literature and law, with the topic "Reading Law Reading." For the current semester, the topic is religion, under the title "Church State Scripture."
The series is sponsored by the University Center for Human Values, the Department of Comparative Literature and the Program in Law and Public Affairs (LAPA), and is funded by an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Distinguished Achievement Award.
Brooks joined the Princeton faculty in 2008 after nearly four decades at Yale University, where he was the Sterling Professor of Comparative Literature and the founding director of the Whitney Humanities Center. He also has taught at the law schools at Yale and the University of Virginia. At Princeton, Brooks is the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Scholar in the University Center for Human Values and the Department of Comparative Literature.
Through the series, Brooks is offering a hands-on forum for "the dialogue or exchange of understandings about what a text means" and to develop, in a group setting, the skills of close reading when faced with texts from disciplines outside literary study.
"If you are a good critical reader of any text, you could become a good critical reader of all texts, as long as you've mastered the medium in which it is being presented," said Brooks.
While noting that Princeton does not have professional schools, Brooks said that "Princeton is very committed to the liberal arts and the close reading aesthetic" and that the "study of what we are doing and learning when we attend closely to textual language is a form of knowledge crucially important in the world now."
For Brooks, reading is an ethical undertaking because texts must be examined rigorously in order to be interpreted fully. "Being honest about what we mean is at the basis of everything," he said.
In fact, the idea for the series emerged from a question of integrity. Pointing to the Bush administration's "torture memos," Brooks said he was outraged by what he understood to be a "twisted and far-fetched interpretation" of the Geneva Conventions, as incorporated into U.S. law, regarding the interrogation of detainees.
"I began to ask myself if we in the interpretive humanities do in fact have something to teach to the professions and to professional schools," he said. "My working hypothesis is that we are trained ideally with a strict fidelity to the text."
It is this attentiveness to the text that Brooks is bringing to the seminar series. For "Church State Scripture," Brooks said participants will grapple with key questions such as "how do you read law in scripture and law derived from religion?
"In some cases it seems very obvious that there are sacred texts that are nothing but law," he said. "In other cases the law is derived from sacred texts. I'm interested in law with a capital 'L' as a system within which we live and the relation of that to religion."
Joining Brooks in leading the series is Bernadette Meyler, an associate professor of law at Cornell University who is the inaugural Mellon/LAPA Fellow in Law and Humanities at Princeton for 2009-10.
"I am excited to explore the manifold Islamic, Christian and Judaic traditions of interpretations while keeping in mind various approaches to legal texts," said Meyler. "I think we will discover a host of similarities between religious and legal interpretation and a set of subterranean — or perhaps more overt — influences that the practice of reading religious texts have had on legal interpretation."
Before each session, seminar participants are expected to read the assigned texts in preparation for a close reading of key passages as a group. The discussion is aided by the guidance of one or more guests well versed in the texts under review. Following the open exchange, the session is then confined to the enrolled students for presentations.
The readings for "Church State Scripture" include the Hebrew Bible, Gospels and Quran, and the traditions of interpretations and laws associated with them. It also will explore the relations between church and state in U.S. history and examine classic court cases to do with the interpretation of sacred symbols, such as wearing the veil in school or displaying the Ten Commandments in an Alabama courthouse. Literary and other texts are on the reading list as well, such as William Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" and Sigmund Freud's "Moses and Monotheism." It also includes visual texts, notably Jaques Rivette's film version of Denis Diderot's "The Nun" and Alfred Hitchcock's "I Confess."
The roster of guests complement the range of texts. For example, on Feb. 17, Elaine Pagels, the Harrington Spear Paine Foundation Professor of Religion, will be participating in a session that focuses on readings of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, the sixth book of the New Testament. This will be followed by readings of the work of contemporary philosophers who have been reinterpreting Paul, specifically Alain Badiou and Giorgio Agamben.
Other seminar leaders include visitors from Yale and several law schools; and Princeton faculty members Eric Gregory and Leora Batnitsky, professors of religion; Jeff Dolven, an associate professor of English; Natasha Lee, an assistant professor of French and Italian; Aron Zysow, a senior research scholar in Near Eastern studies; and Mairaj Syed and Amin Venjara, both doctoral candidates in religion.
Venjara, who will discuss readings from the Quran, said that "as a student of Islam, I think the comparative lens of the seminar will not only highlight shared concerns, but also bring distinct strategies and approaches from each religious tradition into relief."
In spring 2011, Brooks anticipates exploring as a part of the series law in relation to psychology, psychoanalysis and concepts of human agency. The series will conclude with a major conference in the 2011-12 academic year and a publication.
More information about "The Ethics of Reading" and this semester's reading list is available on the seminar series website.

Restoration of Scagliola Table
In 1902, Lady Geraldine Dowager Countess of Milltown gifted to the National Gallery of Ireland the contents of Russborough, Co. Wicklow, in memory of her husband, Edward Nugent, 6th Earl of Milltown (1835-1890). The gift was so extensive and varied - it included paintings, furniture, sculpture, mirrors, silver and objets d'art - that it was necessary to construct a new building (The Milltown Wing) to accommodate the collection.
Included in the Milltown Gift were 3 eighteenth-century scagliola console table-tops, the largest of which is currently on loan to Russborough, and now in need of conservation. To this end the National Gallery of Ireland has commissioned two conservators, Chiara Martinelli and Francesca Toso of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence, who have the specialist expertise in the restoration of this medium.
Scagliola is an artificial ornamental marble. Used as a substitute for real marble it is created by way of a complex process which uses pulverized selenite, mixed with glue and pigments. The technique was refined in the mid-eighteenth century by Enrico Hugford, Abbot of the Vallombrosan Monastery of Santa Reparata, near Florence.
The large scagliola table top at Russborough is one of 3 commissioned from Hugford's pupil at the monastery, Don Pietro Belloni, for Russborough, by Joseph Leeson 1st Earl of Milltown during his Grand Tour to Italy in 1744. The design of the table is intricate and highly colourful with a rich pattern of decorations framing pastoral scenes in each corner and a large landscape in the centre.
Given the size (107 x 211.5 x 6cm) and fragility of the piece, conservation on the table top is being carried out in situ at Russborough until end January 2010. It is also being reunited with the recently recovered gilded Rococo console base that Joseph Leeson had made for it when it first arrived in Russborough. The scagliola table-top and its original base will return to public view when the house reopens in the spring.

Bring a bit of Thailand to your table with a ginger and peanut butter dip to serve alongside garden-fresh green beans.
Fresh gingerroot resembles a gnarled tan-colored root. It adds a distinctive pungency and aroma to foods and is used extensively in dishes of the Far East. To prepare, use a small sharp knife to peel the tough skin and then finely chop the gingerroot into pieces.
Cooking the beans in boiling water and then rinsing them in cold water will bring out their bright color.

Dear Mr. Dad: This might sound silly, but is there some way to tell if my daughter is a genius? She's only seven but I think she's a lot smarter than I am.
A: As parents, we're always worried about how our kids are doing, and there's no shortage of information on warning signs of some terrible condition, or red flags that might indicate something else. But it's pretty rare to read about signs that our kids might be above average instead of below.
You'd think it would be a you-know-it-when-you-see-it kind of thing. And it can be. Sometimes. In England, a 4-year-old girl was recently accepted into Mensa (mensa.org)—a society of geniuses. Officially, one has to be a teenager to get accepted, but this little girl's IQ came in at 159 (Einstein and Stephen Hawking just squeaked past her at 160). By age two she had taught herself to add and subtract and was reading elementary school books.
Cases like this are quite rare. And I'd bet that for every one of them, there are at least 10 kids who are just as smart but whose high intelligence goes unnoticed because they're bored out of their minds and spend their time screwing around instead of working.
So what are the" warning" signs of extreme intelligence? Here are a few indicators suggested by the American Association of Gifted Children (aagc.org). Your daughter may be a genius (IQ of 140+), or just gifted (IQ of 110-140) if she:
- seems much more mature than other kids her age.
- has trouble interacting with her agemates and prefers to hang out with older kids or adults.
- developed language skills early. That could have shown up as skipping the babytalk and going straight to full sentences, or teaching herself to read. My middle daughter scared me half to death when, at the ripe young age of three, she started reading signs on stores we were driving by.
- regularly questions authority. This doesn't necessarily mean she has no respect for authority, just that she asks a lot of really tough questions.
- is easily bored.
- Is incredibly curious and absorbs new information the first time she hears it.
- likes to collect, organize, compare, and contrast.
If a few of the above are true for your child, it's probably worth getting her tested.
Okay, assuming your daughter is really, really smart. Now what? Here are a few ways you can nurture and encourage her intelligence even if she is the smartest person in the room—including you.
- Read. Talk about the stories, the subplots in the illustrations. Encourage her imagination by asking her to make up another story using the same characters.
- Minimize exposure to "educational" videos or "brain-building" games—most of which are neither. What she really needs is live interactions with other people.
- Talk about everything and anything. Ask a lot of questions and listen to the answers. You'll probably learn something. Things like, What would happen if we dropped this uncooked egg on the rug? What about if we tossed it out a car window while we're driving?
- Don't push too hard—or too little. On one hand you don't want her to burn out. On the other, a brilliant child who's lazy will eventually be left in the dust by a plain, old bright kid who works hard.
- Be the adult. Yes, your child may be smarter than you, but she still needs your help navigating the world. Hopefully you've got more knowledge and common sense.

My problem with it is, if you had a perfect headsculpt before, why not re-use it instead of making a lesser one?
My problem with it is, if you had a perfect headsculpt before, why not re-use it instead of making a lesser one?
That's my jacket!
The memories are far more valuable as Star Wars collectibles than those toys themselves.But as to the "muscle-men" comment, I feel some nostalgia for the He-man Luke etc. I started collecting Playmates Star Trek TNG in 1992 and went to a Trek convention in 1995 to see Patrick Stewart I think. And there I head the return of SW figures was coming. I decided I'd try and see some pictures of the first 9 figures, so I went to the dealers' room. Incredibly, instead of finding pictures, I found the figures and even got Leia and C-3PO at a cheap price (for what would temporarily be coming) because the vendors didn't know she'd be rare or anything.
So I kind of like the memories.
To be honest though, I haven't found likenesses wanting lately, it's been more about body and/or costume problems - either sculpted or removable or cloth, doesn't matter, there's often something wrong - and articulation problems and body proportion problems and materials issues and QC and fit-n-finish issues, but standing above all of those are 2 ogre-sized problems: mediocre paint, and mediocre value.
- the tooling is lost or unavailable in a different factory;
- the tooling is in use for another execution, like an exclusive set;
- the previous headsculpt no longer fits with current aesthetics or with current manufacturing or assembly (a cut-joint head that doesn't fit with the ball-jointed bodies, a hinged part that is now too expensive to assemble);
- Lucasfilm or Hasbro wanted a different expression to give a wider range of product in the brand;
- Lucasfilm or Hasbro feels the market will no longer bear out that headsculpt if it's been heavily used.
Can you think of a recent example where Hasbro redid a likeness that was acceptable, replacing it with one that isn't? That reminds me more of problems of the past than of the present, I can't think of one since like '07.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Not so much "unacceptable," but the new Bespin Leia head looks like only a lateral move to me. Since, depending upon where you buy the new one (and bought the old one), she could cost almost three times as much as the previous figure, that's unacceptable.
That's my jacket!
That's got to be frustrating for Hasbro's sculptors.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Well, I think the reference to 2007 involved that Moisture Farmer Luke which included the Moisture Vaporator (I'm pretty sure - didn't buy that figure of course).
But the headsculpt was so bad on Luke it was hard to imagine anyone buying it. Furthermore, I think it was the Yavin Ceremony Luke figure in the TAC that looked so palid because of the paint that I was referring to him as Luke Skywalker with Cancer since he really looked like he'd just returned from chemotherapy.
As to what's left to do in basic figures being the question, I would always answer that question in terms of never-made-before-figures plus original vintage remakes.

So anyway, the above PT list might be incomplete as to who they made and there are definitely more, but the RED answers who they have left to do that they SHOULD DO to answer JediTricks' question "Who's left to do?"

I think that is about it for me as far as the movies go. There are a few select background characters here and there (and occasional character in a previously unreleased outfit), but the above is probably the most important of what is left to be done for me. Yeah "so-and-so" and this or that could always use an improved sculpt or articulation here and there, but by and large I'm satisfied with what figures we already got from 1995-present. Until collector toy companies came along (like McFarlane and Neca) the sculpts by and large for Star Wars were (and still are) miles beyond what most other toy companies pumped out past or present for other toy lines. Even the 1995 steroid Star Wars figures (which are moot now since newer more accurate figures of those characters have replaced everything from back then). I just don't really feel the need for owning 18 plus versions of Jedi Luke. And when it comes to never before released characters or new outfits for Amidala, etc. we are kind of scraping the barrel. After pumping out figures nonstop for close to 20 years straight Hasbro has almost hit everything that matters to me in regards to the Star Wars movies (or what any other toy company could ever possibly hope to do for any other franchise I could ever care about). Aside from the above mentioned movie figures the only thing I look forward to anymore Star Wars related (that hasn't been completely done) is Expanded Universe figures.

As you can see, I'd like to see the on-screen, in-flight ANH pilots completed (Puck Naeco only appears when Theron Nett dies, actually), as well as the skiff guards (the human ones are less interesting but I'd still like to see them) and cantina patrons (though I don't know if I need two of every alien species that had two near-identical characters). We're pretty close on all three of those. I'm also always down for more Ewoks, though since the vintage ones have all been updated and we finally have Kneesaa, I don't have any preferences on which they do from here on out. ESB is pretty close to what I'd consider complete, but it doesn't have as many background characters as the other films anyway.

text: As I sit here patiently awaiting my new double deluxe from Ainley, I came up with an idea in my head. Thought I would put it on here and see what some of you thought. I was thinking some kind of rail system that would allow the box to slide from front of bed to rear of bed and be locked down in each location might be kinda nice. During training you could lock it down in front of bed and leave back of bed open for hauling "stuff". And when you are going to whatever venue it is you might be running you could easily slide it to the rear for easier access to the doors. Just an idea that popped into my head. I think once I get my box a trip to my neighbors fab shop might be in order. Lots of time to ponder, delivery is set for may.
