Will definitely be recommending B and G Autotechs and will definitely be doing business with them again. Thank you very much.
Did not diagnose the problem. Paid 72GBP just for checking error codes and erasing and topping up oil.

Hi folks,
I've looked at some of the armor makers sites and most either don't currently have Pre-Pro gauntlets at all, or say they are in the process of working on them. Does anyone know of anyone that is currently making the Pre-Pro 2 style gauntlets? That I could get soon?
If not, what do you think is my best gauntlet set to go with that'll get me closest to the design of the yellow left gauntlet?
Side note: I could also use a recommendation on Pre-Pro gloves, it seems I have been burned now on here *twice* trying to get those (once years ago and once last year). :-/ I know it's a risk we take, but when it happens twice for the same type of item, it does get kinda old.
I appreciate any help!

Hi Lucy,
My students told me that their problems with listening is that sometimes they can catch all the words of a sentence but it takes them some more time before they can understand the meaning of the sentence. I'd like to know what kind of problem is it? Does it have a name? Can you explain more about this problem and how to overcome it?

Hi all,
I'm in the process of upgrading/re-doing certain parts of my Jango. (this is like my fourth or fifth time LOL) uke
As always the colors of the soft parts are difficult to pin down. I know that we've established the vest to be a charcoal gray (grey) leather. (btw - I think the same gray leather was used on Panaka and Padme's flight vests in the first scene of AOTC - see the VD)
However, there apears to be subtle hints of other colors in there (blues?). I can't tell from the ref. cd.
I know Turo used acrylic washes on his vest to alter the color. Anyone know if he used a blue wash, and if so, what color exactly? What other colors were used?
Also, around the 'arm holes' of the vest, the leather appears to be worn. Any idea on what paints to use to achieve this effect?

A zoom lens with a 25x range and a constant aperture of 2,8 is every photographer's dream. So I had a look at Panasonic's FZ 200 and at FZ 62. Do they look similiar? The front barrel engraving is different. I read 4,5 - 108mm focal length. So in my stock, I have a Pentax SMC-A 100mm / 2,8, and I know how large the lense must be to gather that light corresponding to f/2,8 stop at approximate 100mm. (4 years of my life I studied photographic science.) The lens speed is defined as the quotient of given optical figures. Lenses for movie cameras with their T-number ( T for actual transmission) may differ a bit from lenses for still photography (F-numbers) but generally, those figures can be checked or verified. So what happens with digital bridge cameras, if the lens cannot be changed, if the body "knows" what focal setting is chosen? Is it possible to compensate for a lack of lens speed by pushing the sensor speed upwards, just indicating the figures you would like to read in the viewfinder? Has anybody ever removed the 4,5-108mm lens and had the opportunity to determine the real lens speed? I will not state any fault, only remember how a 25x zoom lens with a constant aperture of 2,8 may look like. I think one approach to that question might be to have shots of an even gray surface at a given / constant ISO-setting, even out of focus. If the noise (best case without any noise reduction) of the shortest focal length and the maximum telephoto setting is different, that might be a hint. If I am wrong, the FZ 200 is a very good deal!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by SmartIversonFan, Jan 26, 2009.
I hope we make the playoffs??
So what changes need to be made to fit AI's style??
I think Ernie's suggestion makes sense.
What about signing guys like Hot Sauce or 50 from the And 1 Tour? I don't think they'd have to give up anyone of consequence to get them and 50 really likes to play in the paint.
That is actually a great idea. Especially for a team that gets a lot of GT minutes. Would be very entertaining.
I liked THE PROFESSOR a lot! Also Helicopter was cool too.
did somebody call?
I like you too, but I meant this guy. Grayson Boucher aka "The Professor" YouTube - The Professor: AND1 Volume 8 Mix He's like an AI with Nash put together imo.
Who would you rather have on the Pistons, Horace Jenkins or THE PROFESSOR...essor... essor... or... r...
I fully expect Rip, Chuck or Stucky to try and throw it off some guys forehead any game now with the amount of dribbling that they're doing lately. I think it would be hilarious if Chuck crossed up a defender next game and instead of taking it to the hole, he just hucked the ball into the stands as the shot clock expires.
same thing
...were you gonna say Rufus?
I think Mason would make a good MC for the games
I was leaving work today walking out by myself and I got this image and the Nice Pass in my head and broke out laughing in front of 20 or so people.
Just to put it in perspective... and kick a dead horse... since Aurora is taking a break and won't go for my throat... Billups/ Iverson +240/ -41.......surprisingly, only a 281 point difference... or 3.7/gm. .504/ .435 eFG 371/ 251 FT makes... wasn't AI supposed to shoot more FT's than CB? 444/ 259 ast........wasn't AI supposed to get easy buckets for all his teammates after driving? 185 more assists for Chaunce. 141/ 123 passing and dribbling turnovers. Only 18 apart. AI is superior in this category alone. Gross turnovers not adjusted for minutes! And above all, wasn't CB supposed to be on the decline and AI supposed to be a warrior? Who would have thought that CB would be the more durable workhorse this year? Back tweak? We talkin bout a back tweak? Here are 2 predictions from before this season:
a) Billups is a starter. AI is not. b) Billups plays lots of minutes. AI does not. c) Billups has been healthy. AI has not. d) Billups teammates have played well. AI's teammates have stunk it up. e) Billups moved into a position that was needed. AI did not. Most of those stats are meaningless.
Most of the points you just made are meaningful. We got rid of a guy who plays a lot of minutes, starts, stays healthy, makes his teammates play better, and who owns the most important position. My point is just that the things that we were longing for: points in the paint, getting to the line, driving and dishing for easy assists, having a superstar who can come through at the end of games by getting his shot off one on one, and so on.... none of those things were even close to coming true. It was false hope.
Is Billups currently playing with a 100-pound truck on his back?
Oh, come now. Billups can play with at least a 180-pound truck easy.
Billups could play with a 150lb Iverson on his back and still get the Nuggs into the playoffs.
Separate names with a comma.

About Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise made a strong impression in the teen comedy Risky Business (1983) and then had his first box-office smash as the fighter jock Maverick in Top Gun (1986). Cruise and his cocky grin were propelled higher onto Hollywood's A-list thanks to a string of successful movies: Rain Man (1988, with Dustin Hoffman), The Color of Money (1986, with Paul Newman), A Few Good Men (1992, with Jack Nicholson) and Jerry Maguire (1996, with Cuba Gooding, Jr. saying "Show me the money!"). Cruise has remained one of Hollywood's busiest actors, taking on blockbuster franchises such as Mission: Impossible (Cruise played superspy Ethan Hunt in the original and two sequels in 1996, 2000 and 2006) as well as more diverse dramas such as Magnolia (1999), Vanilla Sky (2001) and the Steven Spielberg movies Minority Report (2002, co-starring Samantha Morton) and War of the Worlds (2005). His most recent movie Knight and Day will be released on June 23rd, 2010.
Cruise was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV on July 3, 1962 in Syracuse, New York to Mary Lee (née Pfeiffer), a special education teacher, and Thomas Cruise Mapother III, an electrical engineer. Cruise's surname originates from his great-grandfather, Thomas Cruise O'Mara, who was adopted by a Welsh immigrant and renamed "Thomas Cruise Mapother". Cruise is of German, Irish, and English ancestry. His oldest sister, Lee Anne, was born in his parents' native Louisville, Kentucky, while his older sister Marian was born in Syracuse, as were Tom and his younger sister, Cass.
He has been married three times. His first marriage was to actress Mimi Rogers, a fellow Scientologist, from 1986-1990. While filming one of Days of Thunder (1990), he met his second wife Nicole Kidman. He and Kidman were married in 1990. They adopted two children: Isabella (in 1993) and Connor (in 1995). In 2000, Cruise and Kidman separated. Their divorce was finalized in 2001. He began dating actress Katie Holmes in 2005 and proposed to Holmes at the Eiffel Tower after a highly-publicized whirlwind romance. He came in for a ribbing from pundits after he hopped up and down on the talk-show couch of Oprah Winfrey while proclaiming his love for Holmes. Dubbed "TomKat" by the tabloids, they had a daughter, Suri, on 18 April 2006, and were married in Italy on 18 November 2006.
Cruise is a prominent member of the Church of Scientology.

Tom Cruise discovers his Irish roots on a visit to Dublin
by Irish Abroad on 05 April 2013 18:04PM
This week Tom Cruise discovered the truth of his Irish family history and that his Irish ancestors have been identified as knights, rebels and heroes in a family history that stretches back an incredible 800 years. The Hollywood actor and producer visited Dublin on the European leg of his tour to promote his new film 'Oblivion'.
Research commissioned by Tourism Ireland for Cruise's visit, and completed by genealogy researchers Eneclann, has unveiled the amazing history of a family that contained knights in the 12th century, rebels in the 17th century and a hero – Patrick Russell-Cruise – who reinstated tenants on his lands in the 19th century, following their eviction against his wishes by an unscrupulous land agent. Tom Cruise is a fifth generation direct descendant of Patrick Russell-Cruise.
Prior to the red carpet première of 'Oblivion' in Dublin, Cruise was presented with a Certificate of Irish Heritage by the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Eamon Gilmore. The Certificate is an official recognition by the Irish Government of those who are proud of their Irish ancestry and heritage.
When presented with his Certificate of Irish Heritage, Cruise said: "It's a great honour for me and for my whole family – I can't wait to bring it back to them and enlighten them on their history." Cruise continued: "I'm very proud to be Irish. There's a pride in America of being Irish. I can't wait to come back and I want to visit the land of my ancestors and the castle that they had."
As this is the year of The Gathering Ireland 2013, with a programme of over 300 clan gatherings and local history talks taking place throughout the year, Tourism Ireland has christened 2013 Ireland's "Family History Year". Tourism Ireland is encouraging those with Irish connections throughout the world to follow in Cruise's footsteps and to visit in 2013 to learn more about their heritage and explore the places their ancestors came from.
· The Certificate of Irish Heritage provides official recognition of Irish descent. Anyone with an Irish ancestor, born outside Ireland, is eligible. www.heritagecertificate.com
-Eneclann is an agency specialising in Irish genealogy and history research. Full details of the amazing family history of Tom Cruise can be found online at www.eneclann.ie/exhibitions/tomcruise. A summary is provided below.
Tom Cruise's Irish Roots Research Overview
Tom Cruise's Irish roots can be traced back 840 years to the arrival of Strongbow in Ireland. Tom was christened Thomas Cruise Mapother IV and the story of his Irish ancestors - the Cruises, the Russells and the Mapothers – is one of knights, rebels and heroes.
The knights in Tom's family were among the first wave of Anglo-Normans to invade Ireland between 1169 and 1176. In 1176, Augustino de Cruce, one of Strongbow's knights, acted as a legal witness to a grant by Strongbow (Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke) of lands in Dublin. The Cruise family established themselves in Ireland and held lands in Dublin and Meath, including Naul in north Co Dublin (which included the townland of 'Hollywood') and the civil parish of Cruicetown in Co Meath, to which the family gave their name. Like other "old English" families, they continued in the Catholic faith even after the Reformation. In 1641, the Cruise family of the Naul took up arms in defence of the King but they lost out to the English Parliamentary army under Oliver Cromwell and forfeited their lands in north Co Dublin. In 1686, after the Restoration, they were restored to the lands of Cruicetown in Co Meath but their status and their land base was much reduced.
The rebellious streak in Tom's family was also evident amongst the Russell family who were also "old English" settlers, visible in the records from the 1200s. Their main seat was Seatown, situated in present day Malahide in north Co Dublin. In the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries the Russell family lived in Seatown Castle, fragments of which survive today as part of a modern dwelling. It is highly probable that the Russells engaged in cross-channel trade as the family had amassed significant wealth by the early 1600s and in 1627 they completed a substantial new residence, Drynam House. Like the Cruises, the Russells held fast to their Catholicism and took up arms in the 1641 Rebellion. They consequently lost their lands at Seatown but retained Drynam House and 421 acres surrounding it and it passed by descent in the family until it was sold in the 1920s.
In 1766, the marriage of Bridget Russell "only child and heir at law of Robert Russell of Drynam" to Andrew Cruise united these two families and the children of all subsequent generations adopted the double-surname 'Russell-Cruise'.
Tom's family history also contains wonderful stories of heroism. Patrick Russell Cruise was born ca. 1799 in Drynam and in 1825 he married Teresa Johnson in Co Meath. The young couple determined that their future was in the USA and they settled in Haverstraw, New York. As a younger son, Patrick Russell Cruise had not inherited the family ancestral seat of Drynam House; however, he had inherited a half share in approximately 500 acres of land in Co Westmeath, comprising the townlands of Paristown and Dardistown. The tenants' leases on these lands were due to expire in 1843. Patrick had promised the sitting tenants that he would ensure they had a preference in renewal "because he felt he was bound in honour and conscience to look to the tenants in possession" but his Dublin-based land agent John Smith evicted the tenants regardless. When news of the evictions reached Patrick Russell-Cruise in America he set sail for Ireland and personally restored his former tenants to the lands. As a vote of thanks, a public dinner was given in his honour in the town of Clonmellon in November 1844. Patrick Russell Cruise died in Dublin in March 1849 without returning to America and he was buried in Donabate in north Dublin.
How Tom came to be known as Tom Cruise Maphother is a story of family tragedy. Tom's great-great-grandmother, Mary Pauline Russell-Cruise, was the youngest known child of Patrick Russell-Cruise, born ca. 1832 in New Jersey. Mary Pauline married Dillon Henry Mapother, the second son of Henry Mapother Esq. of Annadale Lodge, Co Dublin, in September 1858 in the RC Cathedral in Detroit. The Mapother family originated in Dorset in England but were in Ireland by 1588 when Richard Mapother was the Sheriff of Roscommon. By the early 1600s, the Mapothers established their main residence in Kilteevan in Co Roscommon, where descendants remained down to the early 20th century. Dillon Henry Mapother held a degree in civil engineering and had immigrated to New York in 1850 before settling in Louisville, Kentucky, where he established a successful printing business. However, Dillon Henry died between 1873 and 1875 and Mary Pauline remarried, to Thomas O'Mara in 1876. There was only one known child of this second marriage: Thomas O'Mara Jr. born on 29 December, 1876. Sadly, Thomas O'Mara Sr. also died sometime before 1900 and Thomas O'Mara Jr. assumed the combined maiden name of his mother and the surname of his half-brother, becoming Thomas Cruise Mapother. This man was the great-grandfather of the actor Tom Cruise who was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending a "One-Hour Wine Expert" seminar at Lake Placid's Mirror Lake Inn with
Zraly was the wine director at the Windows on the World, the restaurant atop the World Trade Center that, before it was destroyed in the terrorist attack of 2001, sold more wine than any other establishment in the country. Since then he's been focused on wine education as a roving connoisseur, raconteur and probably some other French nouns. But his
Zraly shared some interesting tidbits about American wine consumption and how it's changed over his four decades in the business. "This is the golden age of wine," he said, explaining that there is more good, affordable wine available now than at any time in history. And we're drinking a lot more than we used to. In the 1970s, the domestic wine industry had yet to really take off, and Americans were far behind Europeans in their wine consumption. In 2010 the United States overtook France as the world's biggest consumer of wine, according to a recent report from Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates.
This doesn't mean, of course, that we are the largest per capita consumers of wine—not by a long shot. That distinction goes to the Vatican city-state, followed by Luxembourg, according to the Wine Institute's latest report, from 2009. Zraly noted that 40 percent of Americans don't drink any alcohol at all, and many more prefer beer or spirits.
But those of us who do drink wine are quaffing it in larger quantities, and in ways that surprise and possibly dismay traditionalists, i.e. frequently without food. The practice of pairing wine and food comes from centuries of European tradition, where wine is an essential component of leisurely meals. That lifestyle doesn't exist for most people in the United States. Earlier this week the New York Times wine critic Sam Sifton Eric Asimov wrote about a recent survey of 800 Americans who drink wine frequently; it found that only 46 percent of the wine they drank was consumed with a meal. The rest was paired either with snacks like nuts and crackers, or without food at all. Sifton, Asimov, who wrote that he considers wine "a grocery item" (despite the fact that New York law prohibits wine sales in grocery stores), added that he found "the idea of divorcing food and wine unsettling, to say the least."
Personally, I'm not surprised by the survey results, because those percentages correlate almost exactly with my own wine consumption; I like a glass with dinner, but I will just as frequently drink it in place of a cocktail at a party or to unwind after work. I'm admittedly no wine expert—even after an hour with Zraly—but I imagine the industry doesn't care how people are drinking their product, as long as they're drinking more of it.

Finally got some pictures to show progress.
I haven't sculpted much reptilian scale detail into these at all yet, but I just wanted to get the basic form down before I put all kinds of tiny detail into it.
After reviewing reference pictures I plan to give the middle claw a more triangular shape like the ESB claw should be.
Feel free to post comments, criticism, or constructive criticism.

This former B list mostly movie actress is now the least well known of her acting family. She is probably the least liked too. While walking out of a store the other day, our actress was asked to pose for a photo and the actress said, "F**k off," and kept walking. Nice.

The academic proficiency policy defines the academic standards students must meet to be academically successful at NMU. Students must maintain a minimum NMU grade point average* of 2.00 to be in academic good standing. Students with an NMU GPA below this level will be placed on academic probation and will have to attain certain semester GPA requirements to remain at NMU (see Academic Probation Standards).
*The NMU grade point average is the cumulative GPA for all NMU courses, 100-level or higher. Transfer grades are not computed in the NMU GPA.
Students are notified of their academic status via their end-of-semester grade report. Any questions regarding academic proficiency should be referred to the Academic and Career Advisement Center.
Proficiency Status Definitions
Good Standing: Students with a minimum NMU GPA of 2.00 or higher are considered in good standing.
Academic Probation: Students with an NMU GPA that falls below 2.00 (or those initially admitted to the university on probation) will be placed on academic probation and must meet certain semester GPA requirements based on Academic Probation Standards. Students who fail to meet these requirements will be suspended from the university. Students remain on academic probation until they attain good standing.
Immediate Academic Suspension: New freshman and transfer students who have eight or more credit hours and earn a GPA of less than 1.00 in their first semester of enrollment at NMU will be suspended immediately.
Academic Suspension: Any student on academic probation who fails to attain specific semester GPA requirements (see Academic Probation Standards) will be suspended from the university.
Academic Dismissal: Students who have previously been academically suspended from NMU, re-enter, and are academically suspended again, are dismissed from the university.
Academic Probation Standards
This table provides a quick reference to the semester GPA that students on academic probation must attain to remain at NMU.
|Overall GPA Credit Hours at the Time of Grading
|Semester GPA Required to Remain at NMU
|Less than 28 credit hours
|1.70 semester GPA or higher
|28 to less than 56 credit hours
|1.80 semester GPA or higher
|56 or more credit hours
|2.00 semester GPA or higher
Length of Suspension/Appeals
All academic and immediate suspensions from NMU are for one calendar year. Suspended students have the right to appeal to return early.
Students who are academically dismissed from NMU may not appeal for one calendar year from the date of their dismissal, and the appeal must be approved by the Admissions and Academic Policy Committee before the student may re-enter the university.
All appeals are presented to the AAPC by the academic proficiency officer in the Academic and Career Advisement Center, 906-227-2971. Students may discuss their appeal with this staff member.

For my initial Foul-Up Friday, I'm reaching back to my Britney piece from a couple weeks ago:
I've gone from conceptualizing her as a dumb bimbo colluder profiting solely from her body and oppressing less beautiful women to liking her music and finding great sympathy for her.
"Dumb"? Is not okay language. Dumb is a word often applied to the vocally impaired that's been conflated with a lack of smarts, or, in Britney's case, a pneumatic public persona. This is a double foul-up, since "intelligence" is an ableist concept in many ways. I intended it to refer to my previous views, but that's not an excuse, especially in a post that discusses ableism.
"Bimbo" is also not cool language; it's traditionally misogynistic that's degrading.
I apologize.

Comments about oreilly Programming PHP, 2nd Edition:
Content is shallow and outdated by all means (unless you plan to work with a mentality of a php4 programmer).Poor examples, poor discussion of important topics, not comprehensive in any way.I am kinda surprised by the content, when I saw the big names on the cover of the book I thought the book is going to be awesome!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not what I expected
By M.A
from Amman, Jo
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
I always go to O'Reilly when I need a good reference book, however this time I was disappointed.I bought the ebook which was released on: June 2009.From the first few pages I found myself correcting some errors here and there, many of the examples have typos and missing code.. Some of them are so obvious that you wonder who edited and reviewed the book and why did he ignore the mistakes.Also, the book makes you feel it is talking about php4 in some parts, the OOP part is not good enough for a PHP5 programmer..Before buying the book I was thinking of saving the money and buying few haskell ebooks to add to my collection like "Real World Haskell" and "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good". Instead I bought this book which short lived all my expectations.

It also needs editing
By Trickle
from Wolfeboro, NH
About Me Developer
I have been using O'Reilly books for over three decades and they are the first place I turn when I need a printed computer resource, so I was very surprised to find such a glaring problem with this one. On pages 406-407 is a listing of formatting characters recognized by the date() function. The function recognizes both lower and upper case characters and they are all listed, however the character column is ALL IN UPPER CASE! As a result, for those items which have both an upper and lower character entry they cannot be distinguished apart. I have only had the book two days and am fearful of what else I might find. Clearly this book was not carefully edited.

this book needs an update
By germanbookreader
from berlin
About Me Designer, Developer, Sys Admin
at the beginning i have to say that i read that book in german. i habituate to that sometimes the code is armed with the german translation of the words in the code and with the english originals. this is usually in all of my germans translations, but it doesnt looks good if the books wants to be read with respect.Anyway. This book is confusing me at a new level. When all in the internet told me that php is one of the most simplistic languages than this book is hard to read.in chapter six about objects the authors told me that parameters given with the new object(x,y) expression the __constructor method will be called. and in the example above with the class person the code call person->__constructor and not person->__constructor and after that with the subclass the same procedere.This is one example of a lot of such things.I still be an oreilly fan and i will be an good reader of your books, because an askable thing here and there is good for thinking independent and learn the things more robust, but this book needs an update because there are things they shouldnt be there in my opinions.

Mostly dessert with no main dish
By Art
from Plymouth, MA
About Me Designer
If you are looking for a book to start you journey into PHP, then this is not what you want. The examples show how and experienced programmer can baffle someone looking to start learning a new language. There is little illustrated to show you how to build a dynamic site, and much that you may need after learning PHP. This book was very disappointing when compared to the O'Reilly "In A Nutshell" type books.

Definitely A Good Begginers Book.
By Andr_s (Vermillion)
After searching non-stop for tutorials on the internet about PHP, with no avail, or should I clarify, without finding any good tutorial on the internet, I decided to look up for a book that will help me learn PHP easily and without too many problems. "Programming PHP: Second Edition" is the first book that I found and definitely called my attention (not the animal on the cover... But that's definitely another story for another time).So I traveled to the US and I found this book on the US, as I couldn't import it due to the lack of a credit card. I started to read it, and it made things very simple. It teaches you the syntax, and the core features of the language in a concise and clear way.Although, like everyone trying to learn anything, needed or not, I did find some rocks on the field while trying to learn with this book, and unfortunately, the book didn't help me solve many of the problems I found. For instance, I could never use the graphics library for PHP because it seems I didn't have it installed back in that time, and the book does mention some weird command line stuff, but unfortunately, not everyone has a lot of knowledge on Command Lines. Personally I am illiterate when it comes to Command Lines, specially the Linux one (which is the one I believe the book shows you)... But come on! I am pretty sure a lot of the people that bought this book didn't even know what Linux was. It could have tough you a bit more about command line compiling for the PHP libraries you can get, and about the Linux Command Line. It definitely would have been a small yet useful knowledge.This book also covers the main pillars of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), and I have to say I am very satisfied for this, as with this pillars I actually did well when I saw OOP in C++. But after a while, I noticed the OOP part was not completed in a way, and considering the fact OOP is a first time complex concept for new programmers, they should have talked more about OOP and they should have given more examples regarding classes and objects/instantiation. Deeper coverage on abstraction and Polymorphism could have been very nice too.It covers the use of databases too, but for some reason they didn't mention MySQL at all, which is the most used Database system for PHP if I am not mistaken... Never the less, while it has its complex moments, and the OOP part is sort of incomplete, no one I know really takes a deep look at OOP the first time they see the concept. And even though the Database concepts are not really well covered, there are other books dedicated to that. The book still covers its main purpose of teaching PHP and the main features, and the syntax of course.I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning PHP and (probably) about the compatible databases with PHP. Though I recommend you use this book for PHP and just for PHP. The whole Databases part deals with objects and OOP, and not all of it is covered in the book.

A comment about the style
By Doug Lerner
I am still just reading it. It seems like a useful book, but not as comprehensive, orderly and error-free as my O'Reilly "JavaScript" book is. Maybe the language itself is not as orderly. But it seems there are a lot of language notations that are used before being defined in a later chapter.I am still working my way through it and may come back and increase my rating of it later on (if possible), but for now I wanted to just mention one really annoying style matter that makes the code samples hard to read (and is the reason I decided to pause and write a review).This is a typic code sample (I bought the PDF version of the book):function update_counter () { static $counter = 0; $counter++; echo "Static counter is now $counter\n"; } $counter = 10; update_counter(); update_counter(); echo "Global counter is $counter\n"; Static counter is now 1 Static counter is now 2 Global counter is 10The last three lines are the result of running the code above it. Could that not be distinguished somehow? Could there not be a separator between the code and the results? Or could not a different type style be used? Or even add a line break and say "This results in:" or something like that?All the samples run the code and results together which make them difficult to read. I was surprised a format like that would be used.doug

Terrible new product
Reviewer1996421发表于 12月 28, 2013 | 已验证购买
Have been told that the complete Stevia product was in the past mixed and put together by one person who has left his company,and did not reveal the formular that he was using in the past.Recieved a 5lb bage on the 24th of December.My wife and I have been drinking the same coffee and using NuStevia for 5 or 6 years. This new stuff is terrible.No sweet taste at all and the price went sky high. Can't understand why the new product wasn't tried out and confirmed before it was pushed out to the public. Buyer Beware!!!!!

This product would be perfect if not for the addition of maltodextrin.
Forced scarcity
Reviewer1510247发表于 11月 02, 2013 | 已验证购买
Price has skyrocketed over the last few months. For the longest time I paid about $45 per 5lb bag from iHerb. Five pound bags no longer available, except at the NuNaturals website, and at an outrageous price (over $1 an oz). Suspect, in light of Stevia becoming more widely popular, NuNaturals is forcing the price way up by fabricating scarcity. The Stevia plant is no more scarce now then it has been in the past. No legitimate reason for the price to have doubled in the last year. Do not buy from NuNaturals.
must be all maltodextrin :/ pretty sure they left the stevia out of mine
Reviewer2034836发表于 1月 23, 2014 | 已验证购买
I have been buying this for a couple of years now and the one I just received is just AWFUL. NO TASTE at all, not sweet, nothing. 5lb and 60 bucks down the drain. I will not make that mistake again. I am not sure what NuNatural has done to this but it is ruined.....I just got this order Jan. 2014

The sweetest diabetic friend I know with no extra calories consumed to go.
Reviewer1617534发表于 10月 12, 2008 | 已验证购买
I recommend this sugar alternative hands down. It does what it's described will do. It is bitter free, natural, calorie free, twice the strength of sugar cane so half the strength of other sugar substitutes is used and it is so easy to use in my baking and cooking. I can substitute the sugar in any recipe I have chosen so far. It doesn't take long to learn what dose is required when using it in preparation of any recipe. Because I have diabetes in the family I know I am at risk myself so finding a product like this the "Stevia" in a Powdered concentrate is already to use. It is not only affordable but a far healthier choice in comparison to the others which are linked to cancer causing agents used to process the substitues. But the best thing of all for me is I don't have to forego my yummy sweet treats and it tastes soo good. Thankyou
Great value!
Reviewer1893840发表于 8月 16, 2008 | 已验证购买
I use this NuNaturals stevia almost exlusively instead of sugar. This is a great value in a 5 pound bag. It is the same Non-bitter, zero calorie powder sold in 4oz and 12 oz sizes.

軽度の糖尿病の為、2年前から砂糖の代わりに使用しております。今ではこの味がとても気に行っております。使用量によりますが、苦みがなくとても美味しいです。料理にもココア、コーヒー等にもふんだんに使っております。特に5 lbsですのでいつも安心です。そして言いたいのは日本に比べて価格が安い。日本では5~6倍程度します。この商品は人気があるのか、在庫無しが結構ありますので、いつも十分の余裕を見て購入しております。我が家ではもうなくてはならない甘味料です。
Not good at all!!!!!
Reviewer1582339发表于 5月 20, 2014 | 已验证购买
I have used nunaturals stevia for 5 years and have loved it. I would not even consider the price if the product was the same. But it is not sweet. I have to use 4 times the amount and it is still not sweet. I have always loved that is was not bitter and that remains the same. Why spend the money though if it does not sweeten. That is the purpose of buying stevia is to sweeten. I would definitely stay away until they improve the quality. Bring back the good stuff.
NuStevia is the best!
Reviewer2034421发表于 6月 21, 2010 | 已验证购买
We have tried so many stevia brands and NuStevia tastes the best. I have recommended it to many, and they love it! My family makes lemonade everyday with it. I am so glad we are switching to stevia instead of sugar or calorie free sweeteners.

The Canadian govenment is confronted with the reality it must require longer deployments for its soldiers in Kandahar province in Afghanistan as the military struggles to find sufficient bodies to cover the needs of fighting in that faraway land. The Canadian mission has been extended for at least two more years. At present there are 2,500 Canadian troops in Afghanistan and they probably will be compelled to remain there at least into 2011. Defence Minister Peter MacKay says Canada has an effective infantry force of about 5,000 which means half will be deployed to Afghanistan for the forseeable future.
Canada currently has its soldiers serve for six months in Afghanistan and then return home for about a month. This policy has upset American military leaders who believe short term deployments impair the ability of a fighting force to accomplish its job. American soldiers serve 15 month tours which allows them more time to build relationships with local leaders and become familiar with local needs.
Canadian miiltiary and civilian leaders are concerned about the effect on morale of its fighting men and women. There is no question fighting in Afghanistan has strained Canadian resources to the limit.
Lost in discussions about length of tours is the larger question as does anyone have a long range plan as to what should be accomplished in Afghanistan? Rhetoric about "victory" are words tossed around without any explanation as to their meaning. What would constitute "victory in Afghanistan?" Is it a military or a political victory? Or, does it entail both?

{Question} Why should I care about the moisture condition of my aggregates when I'm manufacturing concrete? I design my mixture with aggregates in the saturated surface-dry (SSD) condition.
{Answer} The moisture condition of aggregates in concrete is very important. We are all familiar with Abrams Law, which states that, all other things being equal, compressive strength of concrete is dependent on the ratio of mass of water to cementitious material. But what isn't understood as well is that the water-cement ratio controls the pore volume and pore sizes in the concrete, thereby determining not only the strength but also durability.
In the laboratory, and when designing concrete mixtures, we really talk of only two moisture conditions. The first, oven dry, means exactly what it sounds like. The aggregates, which contain pore spaces of their own, have those pore space filled only with air.
The second, saturated surface dry condition, is defined as the condition in which all of the pore space within the aggregate is full of water, but no water is present on the surface. Both of these are laboratory definitions. In practice, aggregates in stockpiles, plants, and in the mixture are rarely, if ever, at these moisture conditions.
The absorption of the aggregate indicates the quantity of water which will be absorbed into the pore structure. Most commonly, aggregates will have a moisture content that is either below or above this absorption limit. When batching, it is of critical importance to account for this water. Obviously, if the aggregates are in a surface wet condition, meaning the moisture content is greater than the absorption, that surface water increases the water-to-cement ratio and affects strength and durability.
Potentially equally damaging is a condition when the aggregates are only partially saturated, with the moisture content below their absorption value. While this will potentially increase strengths and even durability if not accounted for, placing these dry aggregates into the wet concrete mixture will allow the aggregates to take up water from the paste, filling their pore spaces but decreasing the amount of water available to allow the particles to slip by one another during pumping, placing, and finishing.
Even if the concrete is tested at the plant and the workability is acceptable, dry aggregates can increase the risk of water being added at the point of placement. Since the absorption of water from the paste by aggregates that are drier than the SSD condition takes time, they can cause slump loss in transit.
So what can you do about this situation? Know the moisture content of the aggregate being used to produce concrete. Modern batch control systems, if given the absorption and moisture content, will either hold back or add additional water to compensate for that water which is carried on the surface of the aggregates or that will be absorbed into the pore structure of dry aggregates. This results is concrete that is much more predictable, that will finish properly, and meet the requirements of the mix designer and the finished project.
Measuring and compensating for moisture in the aggregates is a critical part of any quality control process. If the means and method are not available to measure the moisture content of the aggregates, at least estimating them by reviewing the stock pile is better than ignoring this input in the batch computer.

KATY, Texas-- The eighth-ranked Tennessee men's golf team claimed its third team title in two years and second this season, after winning the Rice Intercollegiate at Meadowbrook Farms Golf Course (par 72, 7,100 yards). The Vols turned in a three-round scorecard of 291-290-281--862 (2-under par) to win the tournament by 13 strokes.
The Vols were led by freshman David Skinns who finished second with scores of 73-73-67--213. Skinns lost in a playoff to eventual champion Adam Meyer of Baylor. Junior Ian Parnaby finished third with scores of 72-72-71--215 and senior Andrew Black finished tied for fourth with a 74-71-71 to round out the Vol competitors in the top five. Junior Andrew Pratt finished tied for 13th with a 222, while senior Jimmy White rounded out the Vol scores with a 224 to tie him for 20th.
Meyer was the individual medalist, besting Skinns after a two-hole playoff. Parnaby was third with scores of 72-72-71--213, while there was a three-way tie for fourth. Ryan Morgan of Rice, Will Doughtie of Baylor and Black of Tennessee all finished with scores of 216.
Tennessee finished 13 strokes ahead of second-place Baylor. The Bears fired a 298-298-279--875. Southwest Texas State (889), Vanderbilt (890) and Missouri (891) rounded out the top five teams competing.
This marks the second team championship for the Vols this season. They won the Coca-Cola Tournament of Champions in October at Cherokee Country Club. They also won the Louisiana Classics Intercollegiate last spring in Lafayette, La. The Vols last won two team championships in the same season in 1987, when they won the South Florida Invitational and the Springbrook Intercollegiate.
The Vols will next be in action at the always-competitive Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championship in Jacksonville, Fla. The tournament will be held on Feb. 18-19 at Sawgrass Country Club (par 72, 6,895 yards).

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 822
I reprinted Paul's 'Just Because I Didn't Leave The Driving To Us I Got Jailed And Juiced Good' in a Musea issue way back in November 1993. Here is issue summary.
#15 (Nov.) Announcement of the first 'Arts Revolution Festival' at Chumly's and the Stout-McCourt Gallery next door, in Deep Ellum, Dallas. Scheduled for Sat. Nov. 6 1-8PM, Issue includes a line up of the performers, readers, musicians, artists, etc. Organized by Tim Wood, Greg Shanks, and me, Tom Hendricks. All kinds of arts and no sponsors! (See below). Also in this issue: "HouseDallas" the revolution in fashion (see issue #126), and an original poem by Paul Weinman, "Just Because I didn't Leave the Driving to Us, I Got Jailed and Juiced Good."
Yeah good question. Even better to read the answer. Paul used to send me endless packages of lucid writings when my zine Absolutely Zippo was just starting. Just reading his name now blows me away--he's such a rare figure that's from the underground--and specific to print culture. It's really fascinating reading any other notes of who he is.
I published a few of Paul's chapbooks in the 80's early 90's and he was a regular contributor to my zine Cehsoikoe back in the day. Meadow, your blogpost is fascinating and moving. So amazing after all these many years to put a face to that great, funny, vivid work. Thanks.
Hi all,
I met Paul when hosting a poetry reading at Mother Earth's back in '94-'95. I can't say I recall much about him, but I do remember his enthusiasm for literature and fantastic stories. He was a lot of fun to talk with and be around.
Recently I came across a package I received from Paul early 1995. I guess he did this sort of thing a lot, and I vaguely recall him offering to send me a bunch of his poetry (for free). Heck, I used to do the same thing! It's quite a collection and based on the little bit of interest I've seen decided it was worthy of eBay. It's a truly unique combination of visual and written art. If anyone wants to get started on collecting Paul's works, this is probably as good a sampling as you'll get:
I'm pleased to hear he's doing well (in retirement), and still finding opportunities for "poetic terrorism" as we used to call it (before 9/11).
Meadow (?), thanks for keeping us informed and send along my best wishes to your dad. :) It sounds like your home life as a child was more interesting than mine! lol
Fwiw, the fact this collection has survived is nothing short of a miracle. It's flown to and back from Florida in my carry-on in 1996 (where I lived for a year), spent time in a drug dealer's house (don't ask), spent time in storage, spent time on my mother's porch in storage, spent time in a halfway house, and has literally been 'moved' dozens of times since 1995. And yet here it is. Aside from my own copies of my own zines from the day, I have nothing personal that's older than this.
Yikes!!!! it took me 2 1/2 years to see your response. I just now saw this. Sorry Meadow. I really appreciate you keeping us informed. I tend to save EVERYTHING. So your dad's packages with his poetry etc are among my personal effects. If you ever need to I can take inventory of them/copy them.
Part of the reason it took so long to reply was that I don't visit long on the WMZ site nor does the discussions I have engaged in email me alerts...so it is better to leave me notes on my page. Okay Happy year of the Horse!

thanks, robert. yeah he used to send out submissions on a daily basis. it was just a normal part of life around our house. and the mailbox was always stuffed with responses and funky fan mail, puppets and drawings, and envelopes with our address in dad's handwriting. i had to learn as an adult that people don't normally get a ton of interesting mail every day. i also thought it was normal to tap your envelopes so that the contents fell to one side and tear off the end. that's how dad always opened everything. smart! i'm sure i'll be writing more about him in the future and i'll be sure to post the links here when i do.
robert eggplant said:Yeah good question. Even better to read the answer. Paul used to send me endless packages of lucid writings when my zine Absolutely Zippo was just starting. Just reading his name now blows me away--he's such a rare figure that's from the underground--and specific to print culture. It's really fascinating reading any other notes of who he is.
Robert's comment pulled me back to the thread, too. Thank you, Meadow. I never met your father, but my heart is large for him and your family right now as I sit in the LA airport. Thank you for introducing us to a man who, to many, was an enigma and a delight. I'll have to spend some more time with this thread, your blog entry, and the other links.

Oil pressure and fuel pressure gauges installed! JCS pod should be here tomorrow.
Still haven't gotten my O2 sensor problem sorted out. Not sure if it's the front or rear. Code says rear but Mikey says the front. Some people are saying rear, some are saying front. Can anyone confirm 100% weather it's the front or the back?
P0137 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
On a side note, the code hasn't reappeared after I reset the ECU (about 50 miles ago). Car is still running like sh** and Afr is real lean. It's fluctuating like crazy during idle. Anywhere from 14-16. While driving it's at 13.7-14.2 which is normal.
Anyone else go through this problem and have an answer?

Short and Effective
By Sujit Pal

About Me Designer, Developer, Maker
Comments about oreilly What's New in Java 7:
We have already standardized on Java 7 at work for the last 3-4 months, but I haven't had the time to learn the new features so I could effectively use them (contrast to the move to Java 5 when I couldn't wait to try out generics :-)). Now that Java 8 is round the corner, with features like lambdas that I once again can't wait to try out, I figured it would be a good idea to learn what Java 7 offers already. The book is an easy read, nice code examples, took about 30 minutes to learn enough about the new features to use them effectively.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Ha. I totally went to school with that guy.
Life is hilarious.
Not to be confused with Brian D'arcy James . . .
Ugh. What boring music–Schroeder trying to sound like Mingus. I'll never understand what appeals to people about watered down versions of better music.
Mingus is my god, and yet I'm a big fan of Secret Society, and helped finance the recording.
i'm sitting in my office on a conference call, so i can't sample this yet, but "infernal machines" is certainly an excellent recording, and argue certainly belongs – along with maria schneider, john hollenbeck, and sam rivers – in any discussion of people doing innovative work in the big-band form in recent years.
I was never much of a "big band" person until recently. "Infernal Machines" and the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble albums were getting so much praise that I bought them, and was hooked. But much as I love Secret Society, there's something about JHLE that really gets me. Theo Bleckmann adds so much humanity to the sound…
dave c, be sure to check out the already mentioned maria schnedier "blue sky" and then, for something completely different, this fantastic compilation of the work sam rivers was doing in orlando with theme park musicians in search of a challenge.
and if you're a mingus fan interested in big bands, you should be sure to check out gunther schuller's reconstruction of mingus' sprawling work for big band, "epitaph." it's not totally successful but it's well worth hearing.
Scott, thank you – I'd never heard of this but just the samples on Amazon are enough to persuade me to buy it.

Discussion in 'March 2013' started by roscoe36, Oct 29, 2012.
Simply just not going to give a lick until I see Drummond back.
At least we knew which team was tanking.....especially on defense...then again...maybe it wasn't tanking ...it was just stanking
And hopefully that's not until the summer league... No use getting hurt with only a handful of meaning less games left.
Good loss tonight. Minnesota was right on our tail in the ping pong ball sweepstakes. Plus, by having a nice blowout, we got lots of English, Middleton, and Kravtsov. Keep throwing those guys out there, win or lose, so we can evaluate them. Play them early when the game is still on the line.
A home loss to a pathetic team by more than 20 points.............seems like rock bottom to me.
I agree. Well said. The Pistons are at the 5th pick with 10 games left. We have had 4 years of misery. 10 more games. It is the draft choices that brought the team Drummond and Monroe (who still has to hit that jumper--get him a big man coach). It is the draft choices that bring such hope for the future. The Pistons still need a top pick to add talent to the mix. The team will have been re-made with these top draft choices. We have all seen enough of the teams current crop of veterans. We have seen enough of poor free agent signings of the past. I have not given up on Knight but he needs time. He was not ready to take a key role this year. He would be the 4th player in the rebuilding--more a marginal piece after this year's pick. I think Joe can make the right pick this time and not do a Darko. And hopefully, he has learned his lessons when he brings in the next crop of free agents with the cap space.
And with the 5th pick in the NBA 2013 draft, the Detroit Pistons take.....Sounds good.
If he is ok then he could really use the practice. I would hate to start next season with him still coming off the bench but its certainly not worth risking further injury it if he is not 100%.
With 10 games remaining, our best is a possible 3rd pick. But with Cleveland and Phoenix only tanking winning 2 out of their last 8 games and both on their own losing streaks, they don't seem to want to give up 3rd and 4th spots. Thank goodness John Wall came back during our losing streak and allowed the Wizards to surpass us in the winning column.
Frank is a joke as a coach. He puts a starting unit out there that can't function, and then his first subs make things worse, not better. Knight can't function as a shooting guard in the slightest, and he saw zero time as a point guard in this one. JMAX can't defend his position nor get defensive boards. Singler is a defensive liability, and not shooting well enough of late at all to where Calderon has anyone at all to pass to. It indeed comical to watch Calderon out there with absolutely nobody to pass the ball to, and the coach thinking "effort" is the problem. In this game, our starting unit made a mediocre team look like a group of all -stars. And it just gets worse from there. Stuckey comes in at small forward? Or teamed with Knight in the backcourt for a bit - something that has proven disastrous all season long. JJ comes in as power forward? He can't defend that position and does not shoot well enough to make up for it. Eventually we see Middleton and CV out there, but hey, its with Stuckey and Knight in the backcourt. To beat Minny last night, simple. Start Calderon, English, Middleton, Kravtsov, Monroe. 2nd unit: Knight, Singler, JJ, JMAX CV Starting unit plays as much as possible. Stuckey is an emergency point guard.
OK... Be honest lee, you've been cutting and pasting this same post into every game thread this season.
Chase Buddinger looks an awful lot like Lane Staley from Alice in Chains. Does anyone still think Monroe is one of the top (100) anything in the L anymore? Has he even been playing? There is no way he'll come within 5-6 million of the max per year. He's had a chance to show he's something since Drummond's been out and he's done nothing but blend into the stink. The Pistons defense is atrocious.
When you watch Monroe, it isn't very flashy or exciting. His numbers for a 22-year-old guy playing in his 3rd season ain't bad, though: 15.8 ppg, 9.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals
Bright spots from this one: ...23 minutes of NBA experience for Middleton. ...Jose Calderon' shooting. ...Kenny played good during his brief stint. ...nobody got hit in the face by one of Charlie's errant shots ...a couple more ping pong balls
Are you okay sir ?
He's the 2nd best thing about the team this year... and may have been partially responsible for the best thing. Greg Monroe asked Pistons to scout Andre Drummond before NBA Draft « PistonPowered
...I'm confused. Does Greg Monroe have a role in booking halftime entertainment entertainment at the Palace?
Yes, Dre, it is a good thing Washington is winning but the Pistons have only a 1 game edge at this point. A tie would mean Washington picks ahead of the Pistons as the Pistons have beat them like 3 or 4 times.
I like Monroe and think he can be somewhat of a force in the years to come. He does turn it on and off though. But it is not like the Pistons are playoff bound. My biggest issue with Monroe is that he has not improved much on his shot. I watched the game from the Minnesota perspective last night as I wanted the Pistons to lose and keep their draft position. They don't even bother to contest Monroe from 15 feet. They give him all the space in the world to take the shot and usually, he doesn't want to take it because he knows he is not comfortable with it. It is a fluke that the Pistons may get another top pick. With Drummond on that second unit, the team was actually competing and too good to fall this low. He went out. The first unit never had what it took. Tay was traded (he may have been more of a steadying force than we realized). Opponents figured out CV and Bynum. Calderon came but as Lee has pointed out, he has no one to pass to. And then Knight went down. Monroe will be good, maybe very good. He does need another big to play next to and hopefully he can mesh with Drummond. You put a 5th pick next to Monroe and Drummond next year and all this misery will start to fade away. And maybe Knight will find his way adding to the mix. You know, the organization tried to make a 15 th pick as the franchise: Stuckey. Very few franchise players have been drafted that low. Let's see what happens when the Pistons put together a team of top ten picks.

Hi there,
I've qualified with my CELTA in August this year, and have just secured a job at a language school. They are mainly teaching children/teenagers 1-2-1 in their homes. There is no syllabus, so I have to design the lesson plans etc on my own and to suit the students needs. However, the lack of structure has really puzzled me and I'm at a loss as where to start! Would you recommend following a course book and trying to adapt exercises/teaching from that? Some of these students haven't even had a level test, I'm meant to give it them in the first lesson (task is meant to take 45 mins, though my DoS has recommended giving it them for homework). If I don't know what the students level is, how should i prepare for a lesson? Especially if they are YL with a short concentration span! Someone has suggested I play games with them, could you recommend any games that are suitable for YL's 1-2-1? The majority I've seen are focused towards groups.
Many thanks for any advice you can provide.

Running a Presidential Campaign in a Freak Show World. Guest Matt Rhoades, Campaign Manager Romney for President 2012. Managing a presidential campaign is like running a billion dollar startup whose every move is scrutinized by the media and criticized by a plethora of new media Monday morning quarterbacks. It's 24/7 madness where every day is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to get. How do you structure a nationwide organization that can function at peak performance and grows exponentially every month? How do you stay focused on the goal – winning delegates for the nomination and 270 electoral votes in the fall -- and not get sidetracked by countless distractions? How do you manage effectively in a crisis environment for months on end? Matt Rhoades ran the Romney for President campaign in 2012, dealt with these issues every day, and will share his thoughts on that experience. Room: FDR

Through Bad grammer, i have learned each note very well, at least the ones that matter in the field (honks, clucks, moan, murmurs, quick-spit, spit-notes, hiccup, etc.).
What I am trying to do now and am having a bit of difficulty is putting all these notes together, building a proper sequence. I have a good idea on when to use what; but need a little guidance on how to practice sequence and stringing notes together.
Should I just listen to them through cd's/videos etc. and try to mimick or is there a practice system I can use to build up to that point.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I tease-play all the time. Never do i cross the line into something that upsets them though. My dogs have a great tolerance for stupid human tricks due to me being a stupid human full of tricks. Put it this way....when I reach out towards my dogs their tails wag and they are looking to play.
I will admit, sometimes I tickle Delta's tongue when it's hanging out... she wiggles her back leg just like a scratch behind the ear and opens her mouth wider.
Other than that... nope, I leave them alone beyond gentle rough-housing and learning how to be handled.
|I don't irritate my dogs. They are conditioned to accept handling but beyond that I have no interest in getting them to tolerate annoying behavior from me that's unnecessary.
There is a big difference in 'irritating when playing' and pushing a dog's threshold to see if you can control the behavior outcome.
When Hondo was a youngster, he didn't care for his tail to be handled. Therefore, everytime I brushed, pet, played, walked by - I quietly ran my hand down his body to his tail. Every...single...time. He now doesn't care at all. I'm sure I irritated him, but I had a purpose and I was watchful of his reactions.
I do not pull his tail when playing. Nor to I grab at his tail. I'm mindful that he didn't care for it, so why should I do it for fun?
My husband loves to play with the dogs and irritate them. They love my husband and are always looking to engage him in play. I think there is a respectful irritation and that's good play fun.

I think it's imperative to respect the dogs space. Picking at them - just don't see the point. We all know trust and respect works both ways with how we bond with our dogs.
Training and desensitizing something that is uncomfortable for the dog - that would be different. But again, it's not done in a teasing way at all.
Example: It was important for my husband because we do long over night hikes where most people don't go...that Rusty accept being lifted and balanced on my husbands shoulders to be carried. Nothing like an injury happening with a 70# dog and fighting with the dog because they don't want to be carried.
This was something we started training when Rusty was a pup - he wasn't sure at first but we weren't jerks with the way we did it and didn't take pleasure in his uncertain reactions and keep doing it for entertainment value. It didn't take long for him to actually make it easy for my husband to lift him and carry him. It was done with training, rewarding and respect.
I guess in the sense on getting them used to necessary actions- yes I irritate them. I brush their teeth, I play with their feet even though they hate it, and I am constantly annoying when they are small (looking in their ears, mouth, lifting up their leg randomly). They aren't thrilled with it but I end up with dogs who tolerate vet procedures, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, and sometimes even a dog who will tolerate a stupid stranger.
I would never do this with a new older dog, but if it's started as a puppy they think "oh that's just mom being weird" and the irritation wears off. I never purposely irritate them for fun, unless you count when I pet them and they give me a dirty look because they were sleeping.
No I cant say we partake in bothering them,

|I learned very young that teasing dogs doesn't end well. You're creating a response that shouldn't exist - a snapping and basically 'crabby' dog that's always on the defensive - not the kind of dog I want to live with. I do instigate play by tickling, or some other physical thing, but it's done in fun and my dogs respond in kind.
The worst part is the dog snaps/bites while trying to get away…that means the dog is in defense and wants to get away rather than fight/play.
At first I thought you were talking about drive building, which wouldn't be such a bad thing, but if your husband/boyfriend/whoever is doing it and the dog is clearly not having a good time and is getting defensive, this is very dangerous. You're creating a situation in which although the dog probably won't bite its owner, given the same situation somewhere out in public, it will snap at a stranger.
There is a better way to "irritate" a dog. It's to withhold the reward or something they want. You can either move the toy fast enough and block the dog when it goes for it, or you restrain the dog and don't allow it to get to the toy. This is a fun thing for them, the dog will go into prey rather than defense. You should also be able to wrestle or "fight" with the dog for the reward object in this situation and it would lead to the same type of confidence you're seeing with your dog…but in a much more positive situation.
Are you back in Chicago? I know it would be a bit of a drive for you, but if you'd like to come up to one of my training sessions we can probably teach you and your husband a much more positive way to play with your dogs and get the same results. PM me if you're interested and maybe we can work something out.
