Went out today in the rain. Forecast for rain at 6 am was 90%. They were off by 10%. It started and never stopped. Winds were coming out of the NNE at 16 mpg with gusts up to 21 mph. Pulled the canoe for 100 yards through the overgrown grass. The wind battered the canoe from left to right forcing me back to the shore more than once. Followed the edge of the tall grass to a quiet point in the water. I crossed there in the darkness.
Found my way to the eastern side near the big tree where the eagles roost. With my back to the east I deployed the decoys in a V out to the WSW. 24 in all. A mix of green heads, woodies and teal. Pulled the canoe into a thicket of long grass. Pulled the reeds close to conceal the conspiracy. Set my seat in the long brownish green weeds that grow on the edge of the marsh. I surveyed the stage one more time before show time. I sat down. I loaded the recently oiled 870 super mag with 3 1/2 in. 2 shot. It is now a waiting game.
The rain continues and the overcast sky of blue and grey hide the fact that shooting time is near. No sign of light. In the foreground a wood duck screams into the portrait and settles down 20 yards outside my spread. He is garrisoned by 6 trumpeter swans that sail from the sky and take ownership of everything within sight.
I hear a shot fired in the distance, it's shooting time. I watch the woody in the distance as I bob between the reeds. I let him sing his squeals in hope of attracting others. The swans take his back and relieve me of any shot and the woody sails back into the grey pool of sky.
A little light draws near and around the grass to the left two coots find there way to my space. They stop and check me over. The smaller ones turns tail and buggers off. The other looks me up and down and jugs his head forward and backward as if asking me to move. I stood up and he took flight, 10 yards out he met the front end of my Federal 2 shot. I retrieved him and put him in my sack. As I walked back to my seat I wondered what the hell a coot tastes like. I hoped for the best.
In the background I noticed the trumpeter swans didn't give a damn about the bark of my 870. They just watched me unconcerned. I noticed in the distance 6 ducks, indistinguishable in the light, had come to rest just out of range. I spent the next 30 minutes gauging the distance from me to them and what the odds would be if I squeezed off a shot. I would never know I just sat and watched as the wind brought my decoys to life.
I was brought back to life by the squeal of a woody in the distance. I surveyed the sky and made out a lone drake already passing me by, flying headlong into the wind. I fumbled through the calls around my neck and managed to bring up my Duck Commander Classic. I belched out 5 of my best "TEEEEENNs" that I could muster up. Phil Robertson would have been proud. To my surprise the woody took a hard right, started a large circle back, and headed for my spread. It was true, they do decoy easy in a rain. The woody looked desperate to land. I squeezed the 870 tightly, removed the safety, and waited for the time. His glide broke into a back pedal, he was committed, I let my 870 roar into the wind. He started to pull out after the first shot and I let another ring loud. He continued to climb out of his commitment, oblivious to the steel flying about. I let the last shell scream and with that the woody climbed into the sky with not a single feather floating to the marsh below.
A little time passes and I hear honking in the wind. Geese are approaching from behind. I pull my $15 goose call from around my neck and give out a few pathetic squirks. My work, or from providence, brings them, I hear them on the approach. I look over my left shoulder and see a band of 15-20 geese flying SSW, they are directly south of me. I give the horn a few more blows. As I do, I notice a trumpeter swan is in their formation. At that moment 3 of the geese flying on the north side of their formation break rank and head north toward me. A moment goes by and it is aparent they are making a go for my spread. I don't have any geese in my spread but they start coming in hard. I realize I only have 2 shot loaded and there is not time to switch to my anti-aircraft rounds. I hope that the super mag boost will get the job done. They fully commit and I put the bead on the center goose. I let my 870 bark. They seem unconcerned. I rip it again. They start their pull out. They begin to climb much like the woody, nearly in a vertical ascent as the wind is plowing them back and they can only climb. I let the final shell rip as they are nearly out of range. They continue to climb unscathed. Minutes later I hear shot north of me. The honking stops.
I grow desperate by the moment. I'm in disbelief having missed the first two opportunities. I start to get nervous that no other ducks will head back my way. I start to think of alternative scenarios. I agree with myself that the next ducks that commit I will let land in the spread and then I will flush to assure I have a bead on them.
I spent the next 45 minutes wondering what the hell had gone wrong. I spent the last 4 weeks at the trap range practicing my shots. I averaged 20 clays each round. My best being 24. Not bad for my first time shooting trap. I started thinking of all kinds of excuses as to why I missed my birds. I came down to the most plausible answer. It was the wind. That was what was throwing my shot off. Perhaps by a foot or more.
Then next 10 minutes brought in two mallards flying high. They came from the SW and headed north. I grabbed my call and gave out a raspy mallard holler. They started to turn east. I squelched again. They started to head south and turn into my spread. I took my previous advice and let them land in the spread. It was a drake and a hen. Having never harvested either I started getting a chubby. I let them play in the wind, clean their feathers, groom themselves, and then I remembered how desperate I had become and I pulled the safety, stood up, put the bead on the drake and waited for the glory.
They just went about their business. My entrance to the scene must have been covered by the wind as they continued on obliviously to the 870 that was coming down like a foot stepping heavy. Suddenly, the drake saw me, he pushed his head up to get a better look and then knew it was going down hard, he started to take off, the hen followed suit. I waited till they were off of water about 5 feet and let the steel fly. They wind blew so hard that they appeared to be in suspended animation. They were flapping their wings like hell into the wind but they only went up and at times appeared to go backward.
I let the first volley fly and no reaction. I thought to myself, "It's happening again." I started to correct my shot, judging 30 yards out, a muzzle length is about 1 foot. More steel going forward. No feathers. Last shot, they are free.
I sit back down in my chair. By this time I've got the chills. The extra work it took to pull the canoe and the extra paddling due to the wind caused a lot of sweat under my neoprene waders. That turned into a bone chilling chatter on the heels of this defeat. The deer hunting gloves I wore were soaked and holding water, my hands were prunes. I started wondering the hell I was even doing in this God forsaken marsh, in the bone chilling rain and the howling wind. I am clearly completely insane.
Enter a band of geese, flying high and completely out of range. I load up the anti-aircraft rounds and just start letting it rip. When they pass a group of woody's come in from the east and they are met with the same insanity. I am now 17 shells in and nothing but a coot to eat. I don't even have a recipe.
On top of all the insult I can now be labeled a sky-buster. All in all, I've got to admit, given the day that I had, bustin' the sky felt pretty good.

Good for protecting prints
Mar 30, 2015 | By Tabby
I got this to protect my 11x14 prints that I do not have framed from getting torn, bent or creased. It will hold 24 back to back. It has a display hanger with it that I am keeping attached to make it easy to grab when needed. Wish it came in 16x20.

Also, although I'm hardly a professional trainer or an expert, but I suspect that your dog's recall was never as solid as you thought. Young puppies naturally want to stay with you. With a young puppy, if he starts getting too far away from you sometimes the best thing to do is to actually move away from him. There's natural tendency is to want to stick close to you because they are insecure.
As they get older, they get more confident and independent. I've definitely noticed this with my puppy -who's now almost 5 months old. When I first got him we'd play together in the yard (which for the most part is away from the road and blocked by trees and underbrush) because he would never go more than 20 yards away from me. Recently he's on leash anytime he's not in a totally secure area because he's become more independent and I can't rely on him to follow me if I start to head away from him.
|I just recently noticed a young mom taking walks down the road with her toddler and a baby on her back with a medium size dog off leash. I can't possibly imagine the situation if she needs to either protect her dog or if the dog decides to chase something, well I guess I can imagine it but I don't want to see it. As the person that is driving down the road I would be horrified if that dog darted in front of me. I also would have a few words for her.

I agree - never, never, ever. It's simply not worth the risk. Even in our very quiet neighborhood the only dog we've ever had off leash out front was Sneaker when she was like 13 years old or so. We'd walk down the sidewalk a few houses and back every day, which was about as far as she could go. And she moved so slowly that even if she did start to veer into the street it would be easy to head her off.
Keefer and Halo are very good about staying close and coming back when we're at the park, but both of them would chase a squirrel or cat in a hot second if we let them loose in the front yard. I don't see any reason to spend a ton of time proofing against that since they're always on leash to and from the car, and that's really the only situation where a less than 100% perfect recall might be a problem.
|David Winners
Front yard = long line or e-collar for me and 100% attention on the dog, even on my 7 y.o. working dog.
Recalls are always reinforced.
Like selzer, I will let my dogs out to the vehicle without leashes on, but it's a sound routine. I open the truck door before I let them out of the house, and I accompany them to the truck and then shut the door before I do anything else, like grab equipment or something I need to take with us.
5 months is way too young to expect 100% recall in any / every situation IMO. It may look that way for periods of time, but it only takes one refused command to cost your dog it's life.

I would take away the privileges or rather remove the ability of the young dog to kill himself because he nearly killed himself. And when I feel confident again that the dog has it down 100%, I will wait even longer before letting the dog be in such a position. But not because the dog realizes it did wrong and now he needs to earn his privileges back again. More, because maybe I jumped the gun with what I thought the pup was capable of, and I don't want to do something that I will regret forever.
Ya know what. I think sometimes people expect (and get) so much so fast with a youngster, that they are surprised when the pup acts like a pup and acts not quite so polished as you thought he was.
Letting the puppy into a situation where he might get hit by cars at his age because his training is that perfected, I dunno, I think it is premature.
On the other hand, I let pups at 8 weeks old run from the kennel to my car in an area that is not fenced. And from the car to my house, or to the kennel. They always come. I do not command them to come. I just call them and they come.
It's funny my trainer stopped by as she was in the neighborhood and saw I had the puppies out front. And in the course of them being there I had let some of them out, or was getting them back in their area, and the one went running. They were worried, and I said, "she won't go anywhere." And then I called, "Nellie!" and she came right to me, and I lifted her into her area. They seemed impressed at her coming, but she's been coming to me since she was weaned. I bring the food. I have toys. They like me.
I think they have good days and bad days. There may be something they haven't encountered before, and they want to check it out. But I never think a 5 month old pup is trained. Oh they will come, or I will go the other way, make myself more exciting, I am not frightened when they are loose in my yard. But trained? No way. I tend to let mine be puppies longer than other people. I take them to classes, yeah, but I am not looking for the same goals at the end of six weeks.
Training is a journey, and I am happy to enjoy the trip. I don't mind plodding along in the slow lane, or hanging out behind an Amish buggy for a while. When it does count, I will be able to take any one of the critters out and do whatever I want them to do, even if they are not in active training for months, because once my dogs have their foundation down, it's like riding a bicycle, they have it.
Moofie just finished his first obedience class. He doesn't stay well, his sits are good but crooked and we haven't done much with recall, but his come fronts are good. His heeling is about right for his age. His downs are sloppy but I don't have to touch him. He is 4.5 months old, and I am perfectly happy with where he is. He likes the tunnel.
Thanks a lot guys,
This forum is really great.

|Ace is starting to be a rebel too.... he bark at me and my GF and refuse to return the ball when we play fetch lately
|OP, the big problem you're going to have is that if you call him more than once, you're actually teaching him to ignore you. I'd also suggest having him on a long line so that he has no choice but to recall, after calling the one and only time.

By Adam Clark
May 5, 2003. The final whistle blows at Highbury. Arsenal 6 Southampton 1. Unknowingly the Gunners have just notched the first win of an unbeaten run that will stretch to a record-breaking 49 matches.
Walking off the pitch, unaware of the wider significance of the result, Ryan Garry is buzzing having made only his second Arsenal appearance.
At that moment the then England youth international could have been forgiven for thinking his career was set to blossom. He would never have contemplated the multiple shin fractures that would keep him out of the game for three whole seasons.
Fit at last, Garry is appearing regularly in Neil Banfield's Reserves. The 23-year-old says every game he plays is taking him one step away from his three-year nadir. Now he's determined to prove he can still cut it in the Premiership.
"I'm not standing here thinking I'm happy just to be playing," Garry told Arsenal.com. "I need to be playing for a purpose and that is to get back to the level which I was at before, which was the first-team level. One positive from this injury is that it's made me much stronger mentally. If I don't get something I'll keep working on it until I do.
"I said to myself in the summer that this season is like starting again from scratch as a YTS player. I'm getting stronger the more training I do and the more games I play, but it's going to be a long while before I can say I'm at that level.
"I don't think there's any player around who's been out for the time I have for just one reason. It's hard mentally and there have been times when I've been head butting a wall and getting nowhere. I've got through three years but now I've got my foot in the door again and I've got another period ahead that's going to be hard but enjoyable too.
"I don't want to look too far forward because I've
done that in the past and not done what I wanted to achieve. This
time I'm just looking for the next step."

If you're still using hammer-tacker staples alone to attach housewrap and synthetic roof underlayments, you haven't read the instructions lately. Major manufacturers of these products have required capped fasteners spaced in specific patterns for the past several years. I know what you're thinking: "Why go through the extra effort? Nobody else does it that way. I've been using hammer tackers for decades and never had a problem." I've heard all the reasons installers give for not using capped fasteners, and 10 years ago, I was singing the same tune. After attempting to hand-nail caps on a few jobs in accordance with manufacturers' instructions, I quickly looked for a better way. Back then I found a limited selection. Today there are more than a dozen staplers and nailers that deliver plastic caps with each bounce and at a rate that is almost as fast as hammer-tacker stapling.
There's a good reason housewrap and underlayment manufacturers often require capped fasteners. The plastic cap greatly increases a fastener's surface area and, thus, its holding power, so building fabrics are much less likely to tear out from under the fasteners, even after exposure to windy conditions for more than a few days. Even light breezes can puff up lightweight building fabrics and cause tears around medium-wire staples, leaving holes that will leak. Hammer tackers themselves can cause damage, too; the rim of the nose that you whack against the building often tears into the membrane.
The case for capped fasteners will grow in years to come as building codes recognize problems with inferior installation practices. For several years now, Florida has required ring-shank cap nails–not just staples–to be used in high-wind areas, and with a nailing pattern spaced 12 inches on center for roofing underlayments. And as more field inspectors check to see that products are installed according to manufacturers' instructions, which often go beyond prescriptive code requirements, the less we'll use hammer tackers on these weather-resisting barriers.
These tools don't just fasten roofing underlayments and housewraps. Some of them can drive 1 1/2-inch staples or even longer nails so you can secure thick, soft materials such as rigid foam board and fiberboard with confidence. Over the past few years, I've also used cap tools to hang radiant barrier wraps on the underside of roof rafters for energy-saving retrofits, fan-fold foam over old siding, carpet padding, roof vent chutes, attic sealing membranes, and even jobsite signs.
I tested seven cap staplers and three cap nailers. The staplers are the Bostitch SB150SLBC-1, Grip-Rite GRC58A, Pneu-Tools RC-58 II and Rap-A-Cap RC-150 II, Senco BC58, Spotnails TCS6832, and the X-Cell XL376. The nailers are the Bostitch N66BC, Hitachi NV50AP3, and the Pneu-Tools RC-200.
Three of the staplers, the Grip-Rite GRC58A, Senco BC58, and Pneu-Tools RC-58 II, are clones, identical in features and performance and different only in color. Because of this and the fact that they all use "58" in their model numbers, I'll call them the "58 staplers" collectively throughout this article.
Features. All of the tools tested feature toolfree exhaust positioning except for the Spotnails, which is not adjustable at all. The 58s, Spotnails, X-Cell, and Pneu-Tools 150 and 200 all have belt hooks. All the top-loading staplers have a toolfree latch for clearing jammed staples, and the bottom-loading staplers are openable from below. You can adjust the depth of drive on the Pneu-Tools 150, Spotnails, and X-Cell staplers by using a tool near the nose, but the Bostitch stapler and all three nailers have a convenient dial by their triggers for this purpose. Also, using a built-in switch, you can change the Spotnails stapler and Hitachi and Pneu-Tools nailers to single-fire mode.

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to the area and have done some research and scouting but I am having a hard time finding any clues.... I will be introducing my son to waterfowling, he is 9 yrs old, and want a neat place to go. The experience is really more important than alot of Birds, even though that would be nice also.
I have heard of Banner Lakes, Barr Lake, Frank, Centennial Valley, Brower, Webster and Tamarack. Are these any good???
I would appreciate any input, thanks

Monmouth used strong starts at the start of each half to defeat the Canisius women's basketball team 64-56 on Friday afternoon.
Junior Kayla Hoohuli led Canisius with 18 points, topping double figures for the fifth time this season, and four 3-pointers. Freshman Lauren D'Hont scored a career-high 13 points in 24 minutes off the Canisius bench. The Griffs made nine 3-pointers in the game but couldn't overcome 19 turnovers, 30 points in the paint by Monmouth and a 47.2 field goal percentage by the Hawks.
"I thought they played harder than us, especially on the defensive end where I don't feel like we are digging in and trying to get stops," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "Early in the game our turnovers hurt us, and I didn't think we are getting enough good looks in the flow of our offense."
Monmouth jumped out to a quick 8-0 lead and built a 12-4 advantage as the Hawks made their first five shots of the game. Canisius battled back into the contest and tied the game at 16-16 after the second of back-to-back 3-pointers from Hoohuli. Monmouth scored the next five points and maintained its lead for the rest of the game as Canisius never led in the contest. Both teams shot over 40 percent in the first half but each team also committed at least 13 turnovers as Monmouth took a six-point lead into the locker room.
The Hawks scored the first six points of the second half to go up by a dozen points. D'Hont and Hoohuli would combine for the first 11 points of the second half for Canisius. The Griffs kept Monmouth within striking distance and cut the deficit to 52-47 after a layup from Hoohuli with just under 10 minutes left.
On the next possession, Monmouth came down and got a 3-pointer from Helena Kurt to push the lead back to eight points. That 3-pointer sparked a nine-point spurt for the Hawks, who kept Canisius off the scoreboard for more than six minutes after the Hoohuli layup.
Jasmine Walker led Monmouth (3-13, 2-3 MAAC) with 14 points and nine rebounds while Jamiyah Bethune had 11 points and Kurt had 10 points. The Hawks shot 47.2 percent from the floor and 50 percent from behind the arc.
Canisius (5-10, 1-5 MAAC) concludes its trip to the state of New Jersey when the Golden Griffins take on Rider University on Sunday. Tipoff in Lawrenceville is set for 2 p.m.
Notes: Canisius and Monmouth met for the first time…Hoohuli made four 3-pointers in a game for the eighth time in her career… D'Hont scored in double figures for the third time in her career... Hoohuli played at least 37 minutes for the third time in four games… Canisius was out-scored in the paint (30-14) for the first time in eight games… The nine 3-pointers for Canisius were the most since making 10 at Buffalo on Nov. 27… Canisius scored a season-high 21 points off the 19 Monmouth turnovers.

Shab me! Ugh.
I know everybody always says "A custom Mando is never truly 100% because you're constantly upgrading*, but this is ridiculous!
I just got the go ahead from my wife to start the build on my first custom Mando about two weeks ago. Once our income tax moolah comes in, I can get started, so I'm looking at probably late January/early February.
In the last two weeks, I've torn apart my armor concept and redone it four times, completely changed out the shins, fiddled with the colors too many times to count, and decided I'm gonna go through the trouble of constructing a backpack instead of throwing a cape over my shoulders. And tonight? I've decided I'm gonna integrate a drinking water system into the pack that's gonna feed up into the helmet.
Is it always this bad? I'm not even started and I can't stop upgrading!!! Argh!

Local boxing star hosts Newtown vigil
COACHELLA, Calif. - A cross of candles marked the entry way to the Coachella Valley Boxing Club, and local boxing star Randy Caballero stood proudly before his supporters.
"December 14th, 2012 was not only a very sad day for the families who lost their loved ones in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. It hit not only myself, but a lot of people around the world, and families in this Coachella Valley," Caballero said.
Caballero hosted a vigil for the lives lost at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a few weeks ago.
"It hit me, knowing I am a family person. I know I would be devastated if I lost them, so I just thought that it would be good to get this Coachella Valley to give back to them," Caballero said.
People from all over the valley, and boxers from other parts of California, gathered to show their support. Caballero led the young boxers in a jog around the park before he thanked the community that has always been there for him.
"I wanted to put this together and bring the valley together, because I know when we have the valley together to support one another, we can make anything possible," Caballero said.
The loss of young lives hits home for Caballero personally, as he is about to welcome his first child in a little over a month.
"I'm about to expect a little girl. She's not born yet and I love her to death. If I was to lose her, I would be devastated," he said.
"We'll never be able to have the words, we'll never give enough money, or sell enough product to bring those people back, but just to let them know that here in a small valley there are people who still care," Coachella Valley Boxing Club coach Jacob Najar said.
A special person surprised Caballero - his kindergarten teacher.
"It struck my heart, being a kindergarten teacher. Our room were right close to the street," Vera Brock said.
Many years after teaching him -- she looks at her student with pride.
"I am so proud. I follow, I have a scrap book I made of the family, they're a hard working family," Brock said.
After a prayer and a moment of silence, the Caballero family lit the candles, and prayed for the angels now in heaven.

Went by a local pawn shop today(mistake). They had a very nice byf 43 98k mauser for $350. I already have a dot 44 so I passed on it. Got back to work, checked on the interweb and found that all matching guns in simular condition are going for much higher. This one has a non-matching bolt,but everything else matches. So, long story short, I slapped a down payment on it to put it on layaway, without asking the wifes permission. Better to ask for forgivness than permission. I have an illness, a weakness if you will. I cannot pass on an old warhorse that needs a home when the price is so good.

The blueing is exellent, the wood has some friggen thick laquer on it that will be the first thing that gets removed. But I could tell the stock had not been severly sanded. Faint cartouches were still visable under the laquer. They only real bad thing, besides the mis- matched bolt is some idiot took the bolt disassembly disks out of the stock and replaced them with half dollars! I need bolt disassembly disks. Anybody got a spare? Here's a pic of the disk on my dot 44.

Good purchase though it sucks that the previous owner apparently made bad choices. I hope all works well with it.

yes i did see a few disks for sale they are originals taken from destoryed stocks give me a few days to track them down and get back to you
can't go wrong with a 98 mauser personnally I prefer matching bolts but THATS me, nothing wrong with mis-matched bolts
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Thanks Sprat. I looked around, found some on ebay, rather not use paypal if I can help it though. Would be great if you found some.

Thank God I'm single and don't have to go through that anymore, cause those damn orphans just always seem to keep ending up at the door for some reason,,,, dunno why???
These,,,, POOR LOST SOULS,,, just seemed to turned up at the door step last week, some guy this brown truck keeps dropping them off here,,, whats up with that?? Must be he knows I'll give um a good home or something!!
I was quite surprised to find both Nagants were 100% matching #,,, right down to the floor plates and butt plates, very unusual.
Excellent score mtdew! Cant wait to see pics of it!
Sprat, if you dont mind, i would like the same. The Mauser I recently liberated from a Pawn Shop in Oregon had the same, sans half dollars. Just blank holes where the bolt take down discs should be. If you locate some extras, After mtdew gets what he is looking for of course, id like some info!!
Again, awesome!!! Post pics once its safe and sound, and thanks sprat!
and Bellson my friend, i have read that PM from you about 90 times now, and am very much wanting to put a .308 barrel on mine, just working up the courage to buy the barrel and take on the task!

Did you know that Warwickshire parish records are online on Ancestry so if you don't live near the record office you can easily access them online. If you aren't a subscriber remember that you can sign up for a 14 day free trial or many public libraries offer free access to Ancestry.
The records are Baptisms 1538 – 1906, Marriages 1538 – 1910, Burials 1538 – 1910 and miscellaneous parish papers such as removal papers, vestry minutes and deeds. What a treasure trove for those with Warwickshire ancestry, sadly my family dipped into Warwickshire for a generation only and then scuttled back to Hampshire !!

Don't do these things, because even though this sale may evoke sandwich fantasies, it's actually about a lovely timepiece, and it wouldn't be delicious at all.

Enterprise Capacity HDD Reviews
Craig says Seagate achieved those performance gains in part by leveraging the latest SAS interface and by the company's own efforts to optimize the performance of existing HDD technology. In contrast, rival manufacturers are introducing slower HDDs that make use of helium to increase capacity in a way that winds up driving up the cost per terabyte paid by customers."
Mike Vizard, ITBusinessEdge
…Seagate boasts of a 25% areal density, rounding out the impressive performance stats. For a nearline enterprise solution, it may not get better than this."
Nate Swanner, SlashGear

My 10 month old won't eat her own poo but does enjoy the puppies. She knows she's not supposed to so when he drops one she'll pretend she's not paying attention to it and hope I leave the backyard without cleaning it up. There is very rarely any puppy poop to clean up when I get home from work.
She's also a big fan of any cat **** she can find on our walks.
I'm hoping that when he gets a bit older his poo will join the unappealing realm of hers.
PMSL Sorry I couldn't help but laugh
I'm not any help but you could freeze it and use it as treats...very cheap hahaha Helping the planet by recycling your dogs poop...oooh maybe you could start a business with your dogs business!
Scarlett will eat her poop if it is the slightest bit soft. She LOVES bunny poop...it's so nasty!! We watch her when she goes out now and if she is even close to a pile, we use the electronic noise repeller. She does NOT like that noise and will immediately cease what she is doing. We then give her the positive tone and let her come in the house with us.
Poop eating seems to be a common GSD thing...among males and females. I don't know why. I'm sure someone on here has an answer.
The ONLY thing that has worked for us is vigiliance. We have to watch Scarlett like a hawk and catch her in the act. She is MUCH better than she was, particularly with regard to eating her own poop. Keeping her diet very constant and never allowing her to get stuff that will upset her system is critical.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. Sorry about the slow reply - I haven't been online much this week!
I think I've found a novel solution to him eating the grass after I've picked up - I just pick it up and dump a bucket over the site. He seems really confused by it - he just has a sniff around, and then generally just strolls off and leaves it. I'm hoping that keeping this up will de-sensitise him a bit. I'm giving him lots of praise and a treat if one's handy when he leaves the site alone.
As a rule now, he is not allowed out on his own in what we are now calling "the danger zone" (the times he usually does his business). Inconvenient and annoying, but it can't be helped I suppose.
Since doing this (since the weekend, really), he now seems to be getting a bit more interested in other dogs' mess. It's hard to tell, because I walk him off the lead, and mostly, in the dark at the moment, but I think he finding some on walks.
As for the diet thing - he does seem a bit skinny at the moment, although to be honest, I'm not sure how big he should be. He has pretty thick fur, so I can't really see his ribs, but I can feel them. I understand that this is normal, but I do wonder if maybe he's a bit hungry and this is making the problem worse. I am feeding him towards the higher end of the scale on the food packet (he has kibble - about 440g per day, plus a few tidbits/treats most days). Perhaps I'll up his food a bit.
I wanted to upload a pic for someone to comment on his weight, but I don't really have anything that shows his weight if that makes sense. This is the closest to a belly shot that I could find:
Hurley Pic
I had this issue with Tess when I first brought her home at 7 weeks and it continued for a couple of weeks until a friend of mine recommended a product called Potty Mouth. They are pills and you give the dog one for every 10lbs of body weight, for around 2 weeks and it is supposed to make the poo foul tasting to the dog, as you described below. This particular product worked for me and Tess has not eaten her own poo since she started taking these pills. The friend who recommended them to me said that she had tried other products to no avail but this one had worked for her and so far, it has worked for me. Now Tess will approach her poo, sniff and then totally ignore it, which I couldn't be more pleased about. I just thought I'd mention it, in case your open to trying something different.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do, it is a nasty habit.
|Cassidy's Mom
Halo is 4 years old and she'll still eat poop if she get the chance - either hers or Keefer's. I don't think it's diet related, I think she's just got ridiculous food drive! The ONLY way to get her not to do it is to go outside with them and beat her to the punch and pick it up right away.
That's a PITA in the morning before work because it's early and I have very little extra time to stand around and wait for them to poop, but if I just let them out to do their business while I stay in the house and do something else, she WILL eat it.
Last weekend I had early flyball practice, and I actually got dressed outside in the dog run while I waited for them to poop because I wanted to make sure that she didn't get the opportunity to eat it since we were going to be playing tug, and I would have my hands in her mouth delivering treats.
I would put him on leash to do his business. As soon as he's done walk away, leash in hand. Go about 4-5 feet away and have him sit, praise him / reward.
Walk around the yard a bit with him on leash and edge towards it, if he lunges towards it, a quick "correction" on the leash or a verbal LEAVE IT and have him sit again, praise / reward. By correction, I mean a quick tug or something AWAY from the poop.
The key for this tho is the solid leave it command.
And yup, you're amping him up with your level of frustration LOL ... he's like OMG I have to eat this FASTER before they come and get me ... it's become a race for him ... and he's winning LOL (what a race to win ha ha ha!) And yes, that's a HUGE part of the issue - he's young, it's a game and it's one he wins! At 6 months EVERYTHING is a freaking game!!!
Seriously, I wouldn't let him in the back yard by himself off leash until you've got this licked (pun intended!)
I think over time, I have definitely moved towards a "freaking out" reaction. It has definitely reached the stage where the race is on as soon as he squats. Maybe that's part of the issue.
I'm going to try coaxing him away with treats and calmy picking it up afterwards I think.
It happened last night - he went out and squatted right at the end of the garden. By the time I ran down the garden, he had picked it up and ran right past me. Obviously, I can't actually catch him once he's in flight. He likes to stand just out of reach and make me watch him eat it, the sadistic little git!
OH lord, isn't that just the grossest thing ever LOL
I've never had the problem, but have heard of a few suggestions:
1 - diet can be a factor, sometimes the dog is lacking something in it's diet and is looking elsewhere
2 - it definitely becomes a habit, and after a couple of successful "meals" will be much harder to break
3 - the pills that your vet said will make it less "tasty"? Really, like poop isn't gross enough? LMAO ... sorry, can't resist that one - there really isn't much that's absolutely disgusting to a dog ... seriously ... they'll eat any type of poop they see - deer, rabbit, goose, duck ... you name it, they'll eat it if given a chance! Ask the farmers on here ... cow poop seems to be a favourite, and they love to roll in it too!
4 - what are your feelings / actions about it around your dog. I watched a woman at an off leash park freak and run at her dog as he was trying to gobble some down and he thought it was a game ... almost like the poop was a toy, and he had to grab it before she got there ... are you calm about it? are you freaking out? (I get it, it's gross) but if you're providing drama / excitement the dog's get hyper too!
You need a SOLID leave it, and I mean SOLID ... so that the second the dog is done his business and turns around to investigate you say LEAVE IT ... and mean it ... not a pretty little "leave it" but a STERN leave it (you're not yelling, but you're using "that" voice.)
If you have to have a leash on the dog and be ready to tug away so that he's not rewarded for getting to it.
I'm sure others will have some ideas for you as well! Good luck!
|My 3 year old just starting eating his own mess in additional to everyone elses including goose poop. No advice but I just wanted to say I feel your pain.

Equality Now and its partners, Eaves, the End Violence Against Women Coalition and Object, gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry in the UK on 24 January 2012 on the stereotyping, objectification and sexualisation of women in the media and the inaccurate, prejudicial and biased reporting of violence against women.
We made the following call:
- The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) should be replaced by a stronger body which will hear complaints from groups as well as individuals; has powers to investigate on its own authority as well as acting on complaints; is independent of the press and has representatives of equality groups on it; of which membership is compulsory; and which can impose strong sanctions when complaints are upheld, including perhaps fines.
- Gender equality and issues related to discrimination on the basis of sex should be key and distinct components of any new codes of practice for the print based media and women's groups should be consulted in drawing up the code to ensure these elements are appropriately captured.
- This new and independent body should carry out ongoing monitoring of patterns of discrimination.
- Journalists should receive training on the myths and realities of violence against women and how to treat victims as well as on issues concerning gender stereotyping and the harms associated with sexualisation and objectification.
- A new code of practice should be developed for the way 'case studies' are dealt with by the media.
- Regulation of printed materials should be consistent with other forms of media regulation so that if sexually objectifying material would not pass pre-watershed restrictions on the television it should not be printed in unrestricted newspapers.
- Schools should be required to tackle gender inequality and gender stereotypes and deliver media literacy classes.
To read the submissions of each group, please click here: Equality Now, Eaves, End Violence Against Women Coalition, Object.
To add your voice in support, please email:
- the Leveson Inquiry (email@example.com) with your concerns on the portrayal of women in the media
- the Chair of the PCC, Lord Hunt (email@example.com), to ask him to ensure that discrimination against women in the press, including through stereotyping, objectification and inaccurate and biased reporting of violence, is centrally addressed in any new code, including any proposals submitted to the Leveson Inquiry

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hey man I was there this last weekend as well. I was going to make my own thread, but there is no need now. Your review is about exactly what I had to say. Ill just add my impressions onto your thread.
I rode wolf creek this weekend, ended up getting there around 9:30 am sat morning. I would actually call the conditions good, considering the date. The front 3 lifts all had fun conditions, the rocks and such were mostly covered if you were smart about it. There was a few slight pow/slush stashes that were lift accessible, but again the pow was very sticky because of the temperature. It was t-shirt riding weather, I had a hoodie on and it was still a little warm. Me and my buds hiked to Alberta peak as well, this is where we got in some fresh turns that was really fun. The main problem is after the hike we kept going and ended up on the backside. Due to the stickyness of the snow there was no possible way to ride the backside repeatedly without having to hike to the lift. After getting in some nice fresh turns coming down the peak, going to the backside was insanity. We were forced to jump several creeks, and dodge insane obstacles the whole way down. I had never ridden in such conditions, and actually had fun doing so, even though we actually had to hike to get to the bottom where the lift is.
Overall was a fun time, and a great warmup to start the season with, nice rollers to pop off of, a few random kickers to spin off, some bumps to practice on, and lots of choppy terrain to fly through. I'm, not sure if I would go next weekend or not, due to the temps and rapid melting of the snow I witnessed. But if I lived really close to it, I would probably be up there again to check it out.
Wolf Creek 10-15-11
Rode at Wolf Creek today for the first day of the season. Conditions were good/ok/sticky. All the cat tracks sucked. None of them had any speed and had to unstrap several times to be able to make it all the way. Made the hike to Alberta Peak and dropped off there for the only chance of pow that could still be there. Was kinda nice riding on something soft. Ended up going down Bankshot and it took us about 30 minutes to make down. Heavy, sticky, and deep was everywhere in the tree trails. Made for some very difficult traverses. Only saw two other people on the Alberta lift. I don't blame em. The trails were terrible. Other than that it was a successful day in the middle of October. I forgot how out of shape I really was...

Okay guys, don't be too hard on me. It's my first time to do something like this and I am an engineer, not a painter or artist. Also, I was not going for a strictly movie accurate version. I used the reference pictures as a guide and then just had some fun with it. Thanks to Slave1Pilot and Stoormtrooper Guy. I used both of your tutorials extensively. Also, thanks Chris for your help through the PMs. You're all Legends in my book. :thumbup:thumbup
I installed a working laser in the left gauntlet nozzle housing. It is triggered by the toggle switch as opposed to the momentary switches. I fabricated some internal brackets for the laser housing so that the bottom panel could be removed easily to access electronics (mostly for battery changes). The rocket is an FP rocket too. I can't believe how realistic it came out using Nathan's tutorial.
Anyway, I think it looks good for a first timer. What do you guys think?

Texas Woman's University Staff Handbook
Employee Benefits: Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
FMLA provides TWU employees up to 12 weeks of leave for certain family and medical reasons. State employees who have been employed for 12 months by the state, and who have worked at least 1,250 hours within the preceding twelve month period, are entitled to leave pursuant to the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act provided that the employee utilizes all available applicable paid leave while taking leave pursuant to this provision. Applicable accrued paid leave time will be counted (substituted) as part of the 12 weeks of Family/Medical Leave.
Employees requesting FMLA leave will be required to submit medical certification information. Employees will be required to provide re-certification information to continue on FMLA leave. Upon the return to work the employee will be required to submit a Return to Work Medical Certification.
Failure to submit the appropriate medical certification forms within a reasonable time may cause delay or denial of FMLA leave. Failure to provide a Return to Work Medical Certification Form (fitness-for-duty certification) can result in denial of restoration of employment until a certification is provided.
The University will continue the State contribution to the employees insurance program as long as the employee continues to pay premiums that are normally deducted from the payroll. Failure of the employee to pay his or her share of the premiums may cause some of the insurance coverage to be canceled. A portion of the insurance may be restored upon return to work. TWU may require the employee to pay back to the University that portion of the benefits paid by the University if the employee elects not to return to work at the end of the FMLA leave period, unless the employee cannot return to work because of a serious health condition or other circumstances beyond the employee's control.
See Policy 3.24 Family and Medical Leave for additional information.
