Your Friend, the Index Fund
Imagine that you have $500 to invest. But you know little about investing and are too scared to do it on your own. You have no confidence (and, knowing little, no reason to be confident). You shrug your shoulders and park your money in a bank account or CD, earning very low interest. Sigh.
But now imagine that you have 25 friends. And each of you has between $500 and $1,000 to invest. Your grand total of dollars is $20,000. Let's say that one of you knows someone -- let's call him Cartman -- who knows all about stocks and investing. You could all decide to hand your money over to Cartman and have him invest it for you. Why would he agree to such a thing? Well, because you'll pay him to do so.
So Cartman takes a percentage of your money and invests the rest of it, deciding when to buy and sell shares of this and that. If he's good at what he does, then your investment increases in value over time. If not, then you lose money. It's a reasonable solution, no?
That's pretty much all a mutual fund is. Instead of 25 people, most funds have thousands (or tens of thousands) of investors. Instead of $20,000, the typical fund is worth millions or billions of dollars. While the average investor who invests on her own might hold stock in just eight to 15 companies, the typical mutual fund will hold shares in more than 100 companies -- often several hundred.
Kinds of Mutual Funds
Once you start looking at mutual funds, you'll discover that there are many different kinds. Here's a list of some of the main types. (Some funds fall in more than one of these categories.)
- Equity funds: "Equity" is just a fancy way of saying "stock." Equity funds are ones that invest in stocks.
- Fixed-income funds: These funds generally invest in bonds.
- Money market funds: A money market fund buys CDs and bonds issued by the government or companies. It sticks to short-term, high-quality securities and is relatively safe.
You'll typically earn less money with money market funds than bond funds, and less with bond funds than stock funds. Here are some more kinds of mutual funds -- most stock funds fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Income funds: Managers of these funds aim to generate regular payoffs for shareholders through dividends from stocks and/or bond interest. In other words, its investors should expect some regular checks from these funds. These funds are often favored by older investors such as retirees, who need an income from their investments. They're not usually the best bet for teens, as they tend to focus on companies are fairly stable but don't grow too quickly.
- Growth funds: Growth fund managers don't try to generate income. Instead, they seek stocks whose prices they expect will grow considerably.
- Value funds: These funds' managers also seek stocks they expect to grow in value, but they pay more attention to a stock's price, looking for beaten-down stocks, or ones whose prices are considerably lower than the managers think they should be.
- Balanced funds: These funds are invested in both stocks and bonds.
- Sector funds: These are invested primarily in companies in a particular industry or sector, such as restaurants, real estate, telecommunications, banking, and biotechnology. They're handy if you want to be invested in a certain industry but don't want to choose which companies in which to invest.
- Regional funds: These funds are invested primarily or exclusively in particular parts of the world. One might invest in Indian companies, another might specialize in Russian firms, and a third might limit itself to Latin American enterprises.
- Large-cap, medium-cap, and small-cap funds: These funds focus on certain sizes of companies. So a small-cap fund will buy stock in tiny companies, while a large-cap fund will invest in firms such as Ford or American Express.
There are even more categories of funds. Some, for example, are "focused," aiming to hold stock in relatively few companies, instead of hundreds. Others refer to themselves as "socially responsible," avoiding, for example, tobacco companies or firms with poor environmental records. (This is much easier said than done, though, as you can probably find something socially objectionable in almost any company.)
If all these kinds of funds have your head spinning, relax. There's one kind of fund that's The Motley Fool's favorite. We'll get to it soon. (Is the suspense killing you?)
Problems With Most Mutual Funds
Mutual funds do have their advantages. They're certainly convenient -- especially if you don't know much about investing. They give you instant diversification. It would be risky to have all your money invested in just one or two companies, but with mutual funds, you're usually in more than 100 companies (or other investments) at once. There are some considerable disadvantages, though. For example:
- Most mutual funds underperform the market average. In most time periods, more than 75% of stock mutual funds do worse than the overall stock market.
- Many mutual funds are just too big to do really well. A bunch have more than $10 billion invested in them. Imagine being the chief manager of one such fund. Maybe you've found 10 amazing companies that you'd like to put most of your money in. That means you'll have to invest around $1 billion in each. Many companies aren't that big -- you can't spend $1 billion on a $500 million company. The bigger the fund, the harder it will be to find enough promising investments and to do really well. This is part of the reason why funds are often invested in hundreds of companies.
- Most mutual funds are too diversified to do well. Imagine managing a mutual fund where you're invested (in roughly equal amounts) in 100 companies. Let's say that one or two -- or even five -- of them do really, really well. Their stock prices quadruple. This should make your mutual fund's value skyrocket, right? Well, no. Those are just a few of your holdings. Whatever they do is a drop in the bucket. A little diversification is good -- without it, you're taking on a lot of risk. If you own stock in just three companies and one really crashes, so will your overall portfolio's value. If you own stock in 10 companies, one crashing won't be a major disaster. And one skyrocketing will have a noticeable effect. But the more you add to the mix, the more diluted the effect of any one company.
- Most mutual funds charge significant fees that hurt performance. Many funds have "loads," which are sales charges. If you put $1,000 into a fund with a 5% front-end load, that means the fund company will take out $50 from the beginning, and you'll only be investing $950. (This is why many people look for "no-load" funds, of which there are many.) Beyond loads, most funds charge certain fees every year -- to pay for things such as salaries, administration, and advertising. Imagine that the stock market rose 8% one year, and your fund gained 8%, too. Pretty good, right? Well, no, not if it charges a total of 2% in annual fees. Then your return is really 6%.
- Most funds do too much buying and selling. This is called turnover, or "churning." It's bad because each time you (or a mutual fund) buys or sells something, a commission is charged. Those add up. If you have an account with a brokerage, and you pay $10 every time you trade, if you bought or sold stocks 100 times during the year, that would amount to $1,000. Yikes! The same effect can hurt a fund's profitability. In addition, if the fund is selling stocks on which it has earned a profit, then there are "capital gains," which get taxed. (Guess who pays those taxes? That's right -- you, the shareholder.)
The Solution? Try Index Funds
You can avoid most of the problems tied to mutual funds by investing in a particular kind of fund: index funds. An index fund invests automatically in all the companies that make up a particular index, such as the S&P 500. The Motley Fool recommends suggests index funds for just about anyone. Why? Here are some reasons.
- While the vast majority of mutual funds do worse than average, index funds do... average. All things considered, that's pretty good.
- While mutual funds will typically charge you 1.00% or more per year, index funds usually sport extremely low fees -- sometimes just 0.16% (that's less than a sixth of 1%).
- There's little turnover within index funds. They just hold stock in whatever companies are in the index they mirror.
- They're simple. Investing in index funds will take very little of your time or mental energy. Once you've invested in them, you can forget about them (ideally adding money periodically, though).
Index investing may not be as exciting as picking your own stocks and watching them go up (and down), but it will get the job done for you. A thousand dollars invested in a stock market index fund that earns 11% on average per year will grow to $13,585 in 25 years and to $184,565 in 50 years - just from a single initial $1,000 deposit. A mere $500 invested every year will grow to $8,400 in 10 years, $57,200 in 25 years and more than $830,000 in 50 years. (Of course, remember that over the years that you invest, your average annual return might be 9% or 13% -- or something else.)
Kinds of Indexes
There are many different indexes that track different groups of companies, and there are index funds that track each of them. The three most famous indexes are:
- The S&P 500: This is an index of 500 companies that are among of the biggest and best companies in America. Just about any major company you can think of is in the S&P 500. (Examples: Ford, Motorola, Dell, Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, eBay, Jostens, Hershey, Black & Decker, Maytag, Hasbro, Marriott, Deere, Chevron, Mead, Gillette, Wendy's, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, McGraw-Hill, The New York Times, CVS, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger, Staples, Toys R Us, Sprint, Fruit of the Loom, Merrill Lynch... you get the idea.) The S&P 500 is often used as a benchmark for the entire stock market. In other words, if the S&P 500 rises 5%, people will refer to the market as having risen 5%.
- The Wilshire 5000: This index is an even better benchmark for the entire stock market because it actually contains just about every U.S. stock, big and small. At one time there were 5,000 such companies, which is how it got its name. Today the index contains more than 6,500 companies -- despite its name. This is often referred to as the "total market" index.
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average: This is an index of 30 of America's biggest companies, such as General Electric, Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and Microsoft. This is the most famous index, often referred to as "The Dow." It's also the oldest index, more than 100 years old.
Why do these indexes exist? Well, they make it easy for people to get a feel for how a group of companies is doing, without having to do lots of calculations each time. There are more indexes than the ones I've listed, and for each major index, you'll find one or more mutual funds that mimic it. Each one owns shares in the very same companies as the index it follows. If you buy a few shares of an S&P 500 index fund, you instantly own a tiny chunk of each of its 500 companies.
Owning shares of index funds based on indexes such as the S&P 500 and the Wilshire 5000 is, in many ways, like owning a piece of America. If you have faith that over the next 10, 20, or 30 years America's businesses will flourish, then consider investing in an index fund.
If you want to do better than average and earn more than you would investing in the overall stock market, then you need to learn about investing in individual stocks. That means more work, but it can also mean more fun, more satisfaction, and more growth of your money. You can stop with index funds, though, and do very well -- better than most Americans.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Schalke in the Champions League on Wednesday and our Talking Heads for this game were former Gunner Martin Hayes and David Faber aka Goonerholic.
Read on for their verdict on the Schalke game.
It was a very disappointing evening in the Champions League. A 2-0 defeat and we probably got what we deserved because we were a bit flat, we struggled, we didn't really create anything or break them down. Schalke showed what a good side they are, they defended well and took their chances late in the second half. In the end it was a fair result and that makes it two concerning performances in a row for Arsenal - at Norwich and now in Europe.
There were some positives of course - Per Mertesacker looked very assured at the back and Francis Coquelin impressed me with his energy and drive in midfield. Serge Gnabry made another good impression after coming off the bench. But there are lots of things to sort out too and Arsenal need to rediscover their verve ahead of Saturday because that Queens Park Rangers game is massive now.
I think Schalke will be happy to come away from Emirates Stadium with a point. Everyone looks to win their home games and pick up points on their travels. They will have seen the Arsenal game on Saturday and observed how Norwich frustrated them. I would hope that after Saturday, the players will be fired up to prove a point. They've taken some criticism in the press and hopefully there will be a positive and quick reaction.
The Bundesliga is a strong league and Schalke have started well. They are third in the table and had a great win at the weekend. I think Schalke will come to Arsenal with high hopes of getting something out of the game. Teams often know they probably won't outplay Arsenal, but they will come and make it difficult.
Saturday was Arsenal's flattest performance of the season. Maybe it's a timely reminder that you can't take games for granted. Hopefully the team will respond in a positive way. It will be a great night on Wednesday. You can't beat an evening cup tie. It's the Champions League and we have to win our home games. It's important to win the group because, on paper anyway, it gives you a slightly easier fixture in the knockout stages. Another home win and three points would almost cement qualification. From there it's just a case of finishing first or second.
I think there will be a nice reaction from Saturday. I think Arsenal will win 2-0 and hopefully normal service will resume from there.
There is no getting away from the fact that we have experienced a disappointing few days. As on Saturday the side appeared to be flat, unable to lift the pace of the game when needed, and strangely unwilling to support each other as they usually do. While you could savour individual moments of class from Per Mertesacker and Santi Cazorla, there was a general lack of will to make things happen as a unit.
The usual suspects have been singled out for the errors that led to a very good Schalke side getting the points, but too little attention was paid to the lack of support for them on the night. There is some serious work to be done at the training ground before Saturday. The shortcomings have to be addressed and the players lifted again for Saturday. We have bounced back from consecutive defeats before, and will do again this time. Those returning to full fitness may just provide the boost we appear to need at this early stage.
Olympiacos at home three weeks ago. Partizan Belgrade away in September 2010. Standard Liege at home and away in 2009. FC Twente at home in August 2008. FC Porto at home in September 2008 and Dynamo Kiev at home, November 2008. I could go on, through Steaua Bucharest (2007), FC Thun and Sparta Prague (2006). All Champions League games we won after losing the preceding Premier League fixture. It has to happen more than we would like, but invariably we do the business. We are good at recovering.
Now it has to happen again, against a Schalke side bang in form, unbeaten away from home this season, and who have just this weekend won at the German champions, Borussia Dortmund. You will recognise the names of the star players, Farfan, Afellay, and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Seasoned transfer window watchers will also know the back-up goalkeeper, Timo Hildebrand, who was regularly linked with us in the early days of the Arsène Wenger era, but who has seen little action since leaving Hoffenheim in 2010.
With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joining the walking wounded the 11 that started at Norwich could well be given the opportunity to show that was a blip. If Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla can get us off to a solid and creative start in the middle then we should once again demonstrate that ability to bounce straight back. A supportive home crowd will expect nothing less.

Just spent the last three hours finishing up my tax returns - actually I still have to prepare and submit the final copy, but I'm done with all the calculations! Yay!!! This was the most complicated return I've ever done because: My husband still has income from his business, so all those forms needed to be completed, and I had to file a non-resident NJ return (in addition to the NYS resident return) as his new job is in that state. It was a total of 23 pages. Now I can start preparing the financial aid paperwork for my daughter's tuition and expenses! It never ends!

As some of you may or may not know, I sold my Boba Fett costume a few months ago. I offered it on this forum but ended up selling most of it on Ebay.
I'm now looking for the person who bought it. Don't worry, I received my payment. I'm just curious if they post here and if they performed any "modifications" to my baby. I'd love to see any progress.
Anyway, my Ebay ID was gochiefs81 when I sold it. I live in Houston, Texas.
It came with a dickies jumpsuit. If you do a search on threads I've started there are some pictures, I believe. EDIT: Thread has been pruned, I think.
Help me find the lost suit!

Gulf Stream slowdown?
There has been an overwhelming popular demand for us to weigh in on recent reports in the Times Britain faces big chill as ocean current slows and CNN Changes in Gulf Stream could chill Europe (note the interesting shift in geographical perspective!).
At the heart of the story was a statement at the recent EGU meeting by Peter Wadhams from Cambridge University, that convection in a normally active area of the Greenland Sea was much reduced last winter. Specifically, in an area where a dozen or so convective 'chimneys' form, only two small chimneys were seen. (Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to find a relevant abstract of Dr. Wadhams talk, and so I have to rely on the Times' news reports for the specifics).
Convective chimneys in the seas bounded by Greenland, Iceland and Norway occur when intense cooling of the ocean, usually associated with a low-pressure system passing through, breaks down the normally stable ocean layers and causes the now colder, denser water to convect and mix down to a relatively deep layer. This area of the world is one of only a few places where the underlying ocean column is marginally stable enough that this process can occur in the open ocean and lead to convective chimneys going down 2000 to 3000 meters. The deep water masses formed in this way are then exported out of the area in deep currents that eventually make up "North Atlantic Deep Water" (which also contains contributions from the Labrador Sea and entrainment of other water masses). This process is part of what is called the 'thermohaline' or 'overturning' circulation and is associated with a significant amount of heat transport into the North Atlantic, which indeed keeps Britain and the rest of the North Atlantic region 3 to 6 degrees C warmer than they otherwise would be. The figure gives two model estimates for the impact of this circulation (Stocker, 2002).
This heat transport is often associated with the Gulf Stream in the media and among the public. However, my pedantic side obliges me to point out that the Gulf Stream is a predominantly wind-driven western boundary current that moves up from the Gulf of Mexico along the US coast to Cape Hatteras, at which point it heads off into the central Atlantic (see also this letter by Carl Wunsch). It then turns into the North Atlantic Drift which is really the flow of water responsible for the anomalous northward heat transport in the Atlantic. There is good evidence from past climates, theoretical studies and climate models that large changes, a slowing down or even a complete collapse, in the North Atlantic Drift and the thermohaline circulation can happen. Indeed climate models generally (though not exclusively) forecast a slowdown in this circulation by 2100. This occurs mainly as a function of increased rainfall in the region which strengthens the ocean layering and reduces the amount of convection in the region. It is probably futile to insist on it at this point, but a collapse of the overturning circulation is not the same as a collapse or reversal of the Gulf Stream (which as I mentioned above is predominantly wind-driven).
Getting back to the statement by Peter Wadhams though, how does this relatively small-scale observation get translated into headlines forecasting changes in the Gulf Stream and chilly times ahead for Europe? The major problem is that the background story and the climate model results are now very well known, and any scientific result that appears to project onto this storyline therefore gets a lot of attention.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS2577653
This dishrack includes the wheels.
This part works with the following brands: General Electric, Hotpoint, Kenmore.
This part works with the following products: Dishwasher.
The top dish rack was not an exact replacement, the side shelf did not fit and the center spray did not fit. I ran into much more trouble removing the the top rack than I had thought. I used the old wheels and it finally went on but the other mentioned problems remained.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
It was tricky to get the old rack off. Usually you can unclip the clips closest to the front wheels to pull the rack out. However, there is an area behind one of the wheels that you can kind of release and than pull the rack out. You then have to slide out the funnel/fan piece from the middle. That piece slides/ snaps in the middle of the the new rack. Then slide the new rack in place, re attach the release used to slide oldrack out.That is it !!
To remove the upper rack, twist the support rail end caps toward the center of the machine and slightly downward. The caps will come off and you can slide the new rack into place. Reverse the process to replace the end caps. One of mine broke and I will need to order replacements. The original rack is no longer available. The replacement, which is the only one GE offers, has less storage space and is not as sturdy. It bends downward when full. I am very disappointed and recommend not replacing the rack unless you have no other choice.
Replaced lower rack with new. Upper rack removed front stoppers, removed old rack, slit new rack in and replaced stoppers. Total time about 15 mins.
Removing the slide end caps was a little tricky. Key was to tilt and twist the end cap and slide out. Putting them back in was equally as tricky, but reversing the process helped. Sliding the new track in place was simple. Total repair took about 6 or 7 minutes.. Part was ordered on a Monday morning and delivered the following day using standard shipping. Outstanding service.
I gently grasped the end caps with pliers and twisted them toward the center of the dishwasher while gently pulling on them. They came out with some minor difficulty. Be careful or they can be broken. When putting the caps back on the tracks grasp them with pliers to reinsert. Use a small srewdriver to assist in getting the plastic caps to slide into place. Wear light weight gloves when doing this to avoid getting cut on the sharp edges of the tracks.
Very simple. First recieved Top rack. used a flat head screwdriver to remove cone/tower, put cone on new rack. put rackon grove slided in easily. Took old rack out.replaced with new easily

Since the start of the presidential search process in the Fall 2010 semester, input from individuals across the Roger Williams University community has informed every decision along the way. As we approach Inauguration Week, this Guestbook offers an online forum for community conversation – we encourage you to read insights from others and to share your own thoughts on what Inauguration 2011 means to you and to the Roger Williams University family.
Ron Ianoale
Former Chair, Rowan University Board of Trustees (1)
To the Roger Williams University Community:
You are to be congratulated on the selection of Dr. Donald Farish as your university president. I was fortunate to be one of the trustees at Rowan University in New Jersey to cast a vote in favor of the selection of Don as our university president. Overnight Rowan's culture and physical space changed as a result of his leadership—new academic buildings, new dormitories, and a new downtown. Rowan's academic prestige sky-rocketed under his guidance. Roger Williams University will also be transformed by Don's leadership.
Best of luck...and enjoy the ride into the next level of educational excellence!
Wednesday August 24 08:42
Drew Calandrella
Vice President for Student Affairs, California State University, Chico (2)
I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your appointment as the 10th president of Roger Williams University!
Having known you since 1986 where I worked with you at Sonoma State University for thirteen years and then, while you served as president at Rowan University, having had the opportunity to join you as the first vice president for Student Affairs at Rowan from 2000 to 2006, I know first-hand the experience, integrity, and commitment to student learning that you bring with you. I count those nearly twenty years as amongst the best of my career in terms of accomplishing so many initiatives for which you provided outstanding leadership.
I am certain that your vision, energy, student centered focus, commitment to scholarly work as well as service to the greater community will help to drive RWU to the next level of excellence. The students, faculty, staff and community are fortunate to have you leading such a fine institution and I wish you and Maia the very best as you take the helm and steer the campus to its next level in the history of the campus!
With Best Regards,
Drew Calandrella

Ed Streb
Professor and Chair of Communication Studies, Rowan University (7)
Don, those of us who worked closely with you throughout your years at Rowan know the type of dynamic and visionary leadership that you're about to bring to Roger Williams. From the moment you set foot on our campus, we could tell that you were the kind of president who would not only guide us, but also inspire us and challenge us to do things we had never imagined were possible. Thanks to you, Rowan is a stronger, more vibrant institution than ever before. I know that Roger Williams is already an outstanding university, but I am certain that it will achieve even greater things with you at the helm. Congratulations on your appointment! I look forward to seeing you at your inaugural celebration!
Tuesday August 30 09:13
Drs. Carol and Martin Sharp (8)
Dr. Donald A. Farish is a champion of higher education in America. His own academic background along with deep teaching and administrative experiences allow him to define the needs of a university in this century of rapid change. He enjoyed and learned much from the students and faculty of the universities he has served so well in the past. In his new Presidency at Roger Williams University, he will preserve the heritage of the best from the past while building a new and forward university for all who come to the academy. He is a creator, who thrives on new ideas and goals. He can work with all in the university and the community at large. He has a passion for what he does and will share it with all. He communicates in a stellar manner with individuals as well as to large audiences. His sense of humor adds richness to this bold and bright person. We wish him and his wife the very best.

I had the great privilege to work closely with Don and Maia on many occasions during my 12 years at Rowan, most specifically in developing the South Jersey Technology Park and the West Campus. There is no question that his tenure as President of Rowan University will go down in history as the period in which our university made its greatest strides in becoming the comprehensive university of southern New Jersey. I am confident to predict that the next decade will be an exciting one for the Roger Williams University community!

To the Roger Williams University Community,
As head of a New Jersey research institute, I met Dr. Donald Farish very shortly after he arrived in New Jersey to take over the leadership of the newly renamed Rowan University and guide it through a period of dramatic growth pursuant to its naming gift. I became exceptionally impressed with Dr. Farish's diplomatic skills, energy, and finesse. He was able to see the pathways to academic and business expansion, and to build enrollment at a time when State support was decreasing. Dr. Farish quickly became the intellectual force behind the University and a remarkable leader when the University most needed one, and the source of wry humor at all times.
I congratulate Roger Williams University on its choice of Dr. Farish as its 10th President and congratulate Dr. Farish on his inauguration. Only the press of the impending grape harvest could keep me from attending this special event. Jeanne and I wish Don and Maia the very best.

Former Trustee, Rowan University (12)
Dear Don and Maia,
I am so sorry I will not personally be with you both at Don's inauguration. But please know that I will be there in spirit. Don, I am very honored to have been one of the members of Rowan's search committee that selected you as its president and to have served with you as trustee during your tenure. As educator and skilled administrator, you dedicated your time at Rowan with singleness of purpose and rare devotion to the welfare of your college community. Rowan University's successes could only have been achieved through your qualities of fairness, modesty, thoughtful consideration, courage and best type of constructive leadership. In your own quiet way you have made an outstanding contribution, not only to Rowan, but to higher education. Roger Williams University and its community are lucky to have you. My hearty congratulations to you on your new presidency. Roger Williams University chose the right man.
Best wishes for continued success and happiness. Maia, take care of yourself and Don, and, when in my neighborhood, don't forget to call!

Professor and Founding Chair of Chemical Engineering, Rowan University (13)
To the Roger Williams University Community,
I commend Roger Williams University for selecting Don Farish as their 10th president. I have had the pleasure of working with Don during his tenure at Rowan University. He provided exceptional leadership and vision to us at a time of growth for our University and was a strong advocate of our College of Engineering. We were fortunate to have him with us for this crucial time. He will be sorely missed by all of us at Rowan.
Our loss is a tremendous gain for Roger Williams University. You have selected one of the most faculty- and student-centered administrators who I have ever known. Don's passion for education is evident from his direct involvement in the variety of activities of the academic community. I am confident that Don can guide Roger Williams University into the future and help make your dreams a reality.
My best to Don and Maia on this important day and may his tenure as your 10th President be one of distinction.

I applaud the choice of Don Farish as Roger Williams University's president.
I've been associated with several colleges and universities, and I received more support by far from the administration at Rowan than I did anywhere else. Don was fair, dynamic, and imaginative. He was always considerate of the needs of students and staff. Under his guidance, Rowan has become an outstanding institution; it's a great pleasure to work there. I hope you will allow Maia to become an important part of the university community. She was an effective ambassador for Rowan. She also was of great help to me personally; the Edelman Planetarium would not be the active facility it is without her support.
I'm blessed to be able to count both of them as friends. I wish them and Roger Williams university all the best. I won't say anything about Don's sense of humor. You'll find out.

Leslie Clark
Former Mayor, City of Woodbury (15)
Roger Williams University has selected one of the finest men I've ever known to be its 10th president. Don's intelligence, integrity, vision and - yes! - his sense of humor all contributed to the transformation of Rowan University. He exemplifies all the best a university could hope to get and RWU will be the richer for his leadership.
It was an honor and a privilege to work with Don and to call him a neighbor and a friend. I wish him and his wife Maia many years of happiness at RWU.
Don, I wish I could be there to share in the happiness of the occasion. Know that you'll be in my thoughts as you are inaugurated!

I know Roger Williams will benefit from your leadership, and I trust that with your energy, humor, and vision you will enjoy the job and accomplish very good things.
All the best, David

There's Strength in A Family That Comes Together
The Wagner experience is made possible for our students today because of the generosity of our Wagner family. Counting all of our alumni, parents, students, and friends of the College, we are more than 20,000 strong and each one makes a difference. Gifts to the Wagner Fund will support scholarships, student life, faculty resources, and technology.
Biopsychology major, concentration in physical therapy, minor in Spanish
"I was born in New York but raised in El Salvador, my mother's home country, until I was 11 years old. I have been living independently since I was in high school. I work hard every single day in order to succeed. Thanks to Wagner College, I received scholarships and financial aid in order to afford a Wagner education and even to study abroad for one semester. Last spring, I was named the Megerle Scholar for Achievement in the Sciences. Recognition like this inspires me to move forward and reach all of my goals."
Philosophy and Spanish double major, pre-law program
"Before I came to Wagner, I know that I wanted to major in philosophy as a preparation for going to law school. I also loved Spanish, so as a first-year student, I took the Learning Community that combined philosophy and Spanish. We worked in the Spanish-speaking community, and I wrote a paper about our moral obligations to learners. That really shaped the way I think about civic engagement issues of social justice, and it pushed me toward the trajectory of public interest law."
Government and politics major, Italian minor
"Through Wagner, I got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for a former president, as an intern in the scheduling department of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. It gave me the chance to take the leadership skills and the communication skills I've learned at Wagner and apply them to nonprofit work. I've also been working with a new women's leadership organization, Take the Lead. Through my Wagner courses and also being abroad, I found my passion for making a difference through the nonprofit sector."

It looks like the bullet is tumbling. Are you shooting reloads or commercially made bullets? It could either be the loads are way underpowered, or the rifling in the barrel is either worn or VERY dirty and the grooves aren't engaging with the bullet, or the bullet is undersized. I'm sure there could be more reasons why that's happening.
What kind of gun are you shooting and what kind of condition is it in?

Crawford: Biden a terrible role model
October 16, 2012
The Oct. 12 vice presidential debate offered an excellent example to the American voter of the abrasive and condescending personality of our current vice president. Viewers could easily see how little respect he has for his current government office. Now, even self-respecting world citizens if they did not already have an excuse to laugh at America certainly have one now. I choose not to dignify him by name, but I am sure his apologists will quickly fill this void.
What a terrible role model this same individual presented to the young adults and children of our American society who are not eligible to vote in this November election. Fortunately, they did have the opportunity to observe Congressman Paul Ryan who not only presented himself in a gentlemanly manner to these young people, but also has drafted a plan to help them deal with this horrible debt that their parents and grandparents have allowed to perpetuate.
Come Nov. 6, we will see who has the last laugh!
Mike Crawford, Frisco

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Dr. Joseph C. Aldrich, Multnomah's third president, passed
away on the morning of Thursday, February 12 after a 15-year battle with Parkinson's
disease. The 68-year-old Aldrich was a national leader among evangelicals,
founder of several ministries, author, and passionate follower of Jesus Christ.
In his passing, he was surrounded by his wife, Ruthe, his
two children, Kristen and Stephen, and other members of his family.
Dr. Joe's Multnomah
Dr. Aldrich, or "Dr. Joe" as he was simply known by students
and colleagues, served as Multnomah's president from 1978 until 1997 when he retired
due to health concerns. He was remembered for his leadership through an important
period of transition while maintaining a commitment to biblical education as
evidenced in the school's slogan, "If it's Bible you want, then you want
Dr. Joe brought about significant progress for Multnomah
during his 19 years as president. Highlights include:
Dr. Joe's examples of leadership set the standard for
innovation in Bible education at Multnomah. His efforts to develop and solidify
the institution set the stage for Multnomah's present status as a regionally
accredited university.
More Than a College President
While Dr. Joe's leadership is a significant
chapter in Multnomah's history, he also played a part in the formation of many
other ministry endeavors. Multnomah Press grew into a prominent Christian
publisher during his tenure and has since become Waterbrook Multnomah
Publishing Group, a division of Random House Publishing.
The author of many works, his book Lifestyle
Evangelism, though controversial when first
published, became a classic. Through the book,
Dr. Joe was able to have a lasting impact on the students who read it for his
classes and thousands of others around the nation who began to think about
evangelism as something they could do with joy.
Dr. Joe was a pioneer in the prayer-summit movement,
shepherding pastors into what is known today as International Renewal Ministries (IRM).
Since the first Prayer Summit twenty years ago, there have been about 2000 summits in 40 states and 30 other nations.
Dr. Joe made great efforts to
help pastors succeed in their ministries. He organized the first Pastor's
Enrichment Congress, which Multnomah sponsored in the early eighties. From
that, he launched the Elder-Deacon Seminars, the Women in Ministry Conferences,
and inaugurated a Church Secretary's Seminar. All of these were tools to
support the local church.
Bringing pastors and leaders
together from all over the world was never more evident than his significant
role in bringing Billy Graham to Portland in 1992, Graham's final Crusade in
the Pacific Northwest. Not satisfied to simply partner with Graham
administratively, he canceled classes during the crusade days so that all
students, faculty, and staff could assist in person.
His love for students and his lasting imprint on Multnomah
and the lives of countless others is memorialized in the naming of the Joseph
C. Aldrich Student Center (JCA) dedicated in 2007.
"Dr. Joe Aldrich was a man of
passionate leadership expressed in unpredictable ways," Dr. Daniel Lockwood, current
president of Multnomah said. "He exuded a loving desire for God. You would
catch it in his prayers, glimpse it in the way he related to students, and see
it in his demeanor."
"Dr. Joe was passionate about
prayer," Dr. Lockwood said. "Prayer was a central spiritual discipline in his
own life and marked everything he did."
"Dr. Joe brought about the birth
of the prayer summit," current IRM Executive Director Dennis Fuqua said. "He
had this 'crazy' idea to get as many pastors as possible into an unscripted
prayer setting. There was no agenda, no telling God what He should do. I can
see him weeping as he prayed, 'We're not worthy.'"
"Dr. Joe was able to relate to
the rich and the poor in spirit alike. He loved people where he found them,"
said Dr. Garry Friesen, professor of Bible at Multnomah and former academic
dean during Dr. Joe's presidency. "His family chapel was the high point of the
week because of his wonderful teaching and speaking ability. He was in demand
across the country as a speaker, and had a blend of greatness and humility
rarely seen in leaders."
The Wisdom of Dr. Joe
Like Dr. Willard Aldrich's "If it's Bible you want, then you
want Multnomah!" and Multnomah founder Dr. John Mitchell's "Don't you folks
ever read your Bibles?" Dr. Joe had some of his own well-known pearls of
wisdom. Usually very witty, his self-described "pithy grabbers" are often
repeated by former colleagues and students alike. Some of these include:
A Memorial Service
for Dr. Joe
Lake Grove
Presbyterian Church
Lake Oswego, Oregon
Friday, February 20, 2009
What You Can Do
Dr. Joe's legacy was far-reaching. Those who wish to share
their memories of Dr. Joe or extend condolences to the Aldrich family can do so
in three ways:
All condolences will be gathered, printed, and sent to the
Aldrich family. Memories submitted to the MU Blog will remain available for the
public to read.

Hi all,
I am back and ready to find out if anyone is interested in spats. I was unfortunately not able to pursue this earlier this year as planned because my dad broke his hip for the 3rd time. He has been fighting a bone infection and battling the war of who was going to win - healing bone vs infection. He is now allowed to walk around the house without any crutches at all. As you can imagine, he is terrified since he was told this before and oops, broke! So far, so good.
Regarding the spats, you choose the color and as long as it is available, I can make them up for you. They will be $10 plus shipping to you.

Today's Hours: 12PM – 5PM
Director Carlos Reygadas
Born in Mexico City in 1971, Carlos Reygadas became a lawyer in Mexico, specialized in armed conflict issues in London, and worked for the United Nations before starting his film career. Inspired by art cinema giants such as Andrei Tarkovsky, Reygadas made four short films in Belgium between 1998 and 1999.
He returned to Mexico in 2000 to shoot his first feature film, Japón (Japan), which garnered international attention for its startling content and magnificent aesthetics. Japón's raw depiction of sex and human frailty within a uniquely Mexican context grew into Reygadas's fully fledged style with his second feature film, Batalla en el cielo (Battle in Heaven, 2005), which competed for the Palm d'Or and won several other international prizes. His third film Stellet Licht (Silent Light, 2007) pushed the familiar themes and aesthetics of his previous work onto new, breathtaking ground and won prestigious prizes across the globe, cementing Reygadas's reputation as both a leader of contemporary Mexican cinema and a central auteur on the global art cinema stage.
Reygadas has further cultivated the current renaissance of Mexican cinema by producing a number of notable films by other burgeoning Mexican directors, contributing a short film to the 2010 compilation Revolución and embarking on his most ambitious project yet — 2012's Post Tenebras Lux, which earned him the Best Director prize at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
We are honored to be hosting Mr. Reygadas for a discussion after the sneak preview of Post Tenebras Lux on Saturday, April 27.

Victoria Brescoll, WAPPP Fellow, Yale School of
Although women have made great strides in attaining positions of power in recent decades, there still remain barriers to women in not only continuing to attain these positions, but also in maintaining them. Women face different challenges than men in the quest for leadership roles and their ability to hold onto these positions. For women, power can still be hard to earn, difficult to signal to others (once power is attained), and, in certain circumstances, easy to lose. Gender stereotypes—our beliefs about what men and women are like—continue to shape our perceptions of women and can ultimately impede women's progress in gaining, exercising, and maintaining power and leadership. My research on women and the precariousness of their power has examined women in top leadership roles (e.g., the United States Senate), experiments in the lab, and interviews with women who have managed to navigate the challenges of being in top leadership positions.
Lunch will be provided.
An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

I would pinch her in a heart beat if they are hot durning your next few inspections. Bees like that give beekeepers a bad name if neighbors get a taste of them and like you say in the video, those genetics are not needed in the local pool. I had a colony like that was like that in 2010 and would follow me about a hundred yards sometimes. I will never tolerate one like that again. I like to work with only a veil and no gloves if I can help it. I like to blow on the bees too when I want to see the comb they cover without my face being swarmed.Where was that video taken, louisiana? What state do you frequent with the bees?Thanks for the video!

"One of the most authentic kimchi jiggaes [kimchi stews] in town."—Kim Sung-Yoon, food critic, Chosun Ilbo newspaper. Tiny, hole-in-the-wall place down a city-center alley, serving piping hot kimchi jiggae. No English; all you have to do is point. Tangju-dong 43; tel. 82 2 739 7737.
Café Sobahn
"Modern interpretation of the most traditional dish [bibimbap], tastefully done."—Kim Sung-Yoon. For a variety of bibimbaps, Korea's famous mixed rice hash dish, this stylish downtown eatery is it.

Bada Sikdang
"Successful product of East-meets-West fusion cuisine."—Kim Sung-Yoon. A Korean War-era GI stew—franks, kimchi, chili, and processed cheese—is the specialty of this back-alley, no-frills joint. Despite (or perhaps because of) entertainingly rude waitresses, anyone from local cops to movie stars and ambassadors may be spotted on a given evening. 743-7 Hannam 2-dong; tel. 82 2 795 1317.
Three Alley Pub
For meat and potatoes washed down with quality suds, this expatriate watering hole is the place. Classic pub food, plus Seoul's widest selection of tap beers, and a convivial clientele. Located in Three Alleys, Seoul's top street for foreign dining, behind Itaewon's Hamilton Hotel. 116-15 Itaewon-dong; tel. 82 2 749 3336. leagues.wikia.com/wiki/Three_Alley_Pub
St. Ex
"Informal, rural French cuisine."—Hong Sung-Chul, publisher, Cookand magazine. Tiny and cozy, but immensely popular, French-run brasserie-bistro, across the street from Three Alleys. The blackboard menu changes daily, there is a decent selection of affordable wine and always at least one French diner. 119-28 Itaewon-dong; tel. 82 2 795 2565.
Choeng-U Chamchi
"Like eating fresh tuna on a trawler."—Kang Ji-young, CEO, Top Table. Run by an ex-trawler skipper, diners at this tuna sashimi restaurant sit on stools around a boat-shaped bar, while the chef-owner in the center slaps chunks of fish onto "platters" of (edible) seaweed. One price for all-you-can-eat. Across Hannam Bridge, behind the long line of buildings on the left. Tel. 82 2 549 8356.

Located in a converted hanok in Insadong, the pedestrian-friendly art and crafts district. 8-7 Insadong; tel. 82 2 732 1919.
"Thought blue cheese was pungent? Try this!"—Kim Sung-Yoon. Locally focused fixed menu selections; the fiery cuisine of the southwest. The chot—a paste of squid intestine fermented for years—is an awesome explosion of flavor, perhaps unsuited to newcomers to Korean cuisine. 37-1 Unni-dong; tel. 82 2 763 4234.

Reading, Writing and 'Rithmetic: Brooklin Schools
When Brooklin, located on the Blue Hill Peninsula, was incorporated in 1849, there were ten school districts and nine one-room school houses. As the years went by, population changes affected the location and number of schools in the area. State requirements began to determine ways that student's education would be handled. Regardless, education of the Brooklin students always remained a high priority for the town.
Young men and women in the 19th century often went away from home -- sometimes for a few months, sometimes for longer periods -- to attend academies, seminaries, or schools run by individuals. While there, they wrote letters home, reporting on boarding arrangements and coursework undertaken, and inquired about the family at home.
John Bapst High School was dedicated in September 1928 to meet the expanding needs of Roman Catholic education in the Bangor area. The co-educational school operated until 1980, when the diocese closed it due to decreasing enrollment. Since then, it has been a private school known as John Bapst Memorial High School.

Sounds pretty good to me. I don't have any notion what will happen to the kid next year - I'd like to see him stay here and succeed, but whatever it is, it will never be the case that he wasn't given opportunities that most players never see. Most players would love to be handled so badly.

Arsène Wenger has hailed Steve Bould's quality after promoting him to his backroom staff in place of the retiring Pat Rice.
The 49-year-old has been a major success as manager of Arsenal's Under-18s, earning plaudits from both inside and outside the Club.
And Wenger says he has no doubt that Bould will fit seamlessly into the first-team set-up.
"His qualities are that he has experience of the top-level game, he has managed here, he knows our football philosophy and therefore there will be a continuity," he said.
"He has also chosen after his playing career to coach here at the Club and we always want to give an advantage to people who know how we work, how we want to coach.
"A very good coach is the most important thing, no matter where you played."
* A full statement on the backroom changes at Arsenal will follow in due course.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bibby from Love these tomato cages Work wonderfully. Put a piece of rebar in for a stake so they won't blow over in a windstorm. For the extensions, use zip ties to fasten, NOT all the hardware they send you. They're a waste of time. I don't know why Burpee is using all that extraneous hardware. NOT necessary. Just clip the zip ties in the fall to take them apart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chief from Tomato Cages These are great. The parts that extend into the ground will rust but still good. Stacking is necessary as tomatoes will grow 12 foot tall here. Saw some concerns on blowing over. I plant in beds with the plants [cages] off set. I stake the first one and the last one in my beds [12 to the bed]. Tie them together with cable ties. This makes a "big cage" sporting itself with the help of a couple of treated 1"X11/2" from Lowes. They are well worth the money. I have 30 with stackers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by YummyVegies from Worth every penny! I purchased 3 of these cages again this spring of 2014 after purchasing another set the year before. These cages will last many years and are excellent supports! They have made my gardening so much easier and are definitely worth every penny! Thank you Burpee!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dufus from Good Quality For The Price - Expandable To A Tower I've had my tomato cages for a few years and the foldable design is what makes these cages awesome. When I was a child, my daddy had similar cages that lasted for ever. My first set was in 2008, 2nd set in 2010, and in 2014 I just added two sets of extender cages. The extension cages went on easy with the included brackets. I did have to stake them with a light weight steel fence post for added support (keep in mind the tomato cage is now 65 inches tall). *If I was to buy these cages again, I would get the wider XL size cages as these get overgrown with health tomato plants. [Photo shows expanded tomato cages 65 inches tall]

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyWhenGardening from Great Buy! These cages are so well made, wish I had found them sooner. Going to buy the extenders next, and I can't wait to get them. Don't waste your money (like I have in the past) on the plastic ones that snap in half after one summer...these really are a great addition to my garden!

Rated 4 out of 5 by sunny from Worry-free! Loved the look of this sturdy cage, but when considering purchase, we were concerned about all the little metal corners sticking down; they might scratch our arms when tending tomatoes. We eliminated our concern by simply sliding short lengths of drip system microtubing over the ends. Fit snugly! No worries!

Hey everyone,
Last year I attempted to build a Fett helmet using AntMan's Second Scratch build as a guide.
It didn't really turn out with the quality that I was looking for.
I started gathering materials for a second go when yesterday at work I was talking to my boss about printing a case for my new Raspberry Pi.
That's when it hit me, I know that some people have produced amor/helmets using lathes and cnc machines, but has anyone ever tried a 3D printer?
I guess the second have of my query is, does anyone have any CAD files available? I'm open to designing the armor from scratch, but I realize that this would take quite a bit of time.
Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone can offer,

Ok ... I finally decided to dig out the old rubbermaid with all my Fett gear that has stared me down everytime I go into my closet. Much to my lack time it has taken me about 4 years or more(probably more) to get this far.
It is a depressing site to lay it all out and see it being so close after all this time.
So here are some pics of what I have and where I am and what is lacking :lol.
I thought some of you may not have believed I was actually building a Fett, since I never really had anything to show for the time spent on this board.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa Learning Farms will host a field day near Kellerton beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 23. The field day will focus on the benefits of patch-burn grazing and the multi-state Restoration Ecology in Working Landscapes project.
The field day will feature Jim Miller, associate professor at the University of Illinois, and Diane Debinski, Iowa State University professor with the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology, who will define patch-burn grazing and talk about why it is beneficial to cattle as well as the wildlife in the pasture habitat. They also will talk about the multi-state project, conducted at this site and other nearby areas, looking at the effects of patch-burn grazing compared to traditional grazing and the use of fire without grazing. The Restoration Ecology in Working Landscapes project works with local landowners in southern Iowa and northern Missouri to examine their perspective on the use of fire and grazing as management tools. For more information about this project, visit the website: www.nrem.iastate.edu/research/patchburn/index.html.
The field day includes a complimentary lunch. The event is free and the public is invited to attend. The field day site is near Kellerton in eastern Ringgold County. The pastures are located two miles west of Kellerton on Highway 2. Turn south on 300th Avenue, drive through the Kellerton Grasslands area 1.5 miles. Parking is in the pull-off area and alongside 300th Avenue.
Iowa Learning Farms takes a grassroots approach offering innovative ways to help all Iowans have an active role in keeping our state's natural resources healthy and not take them for granted. A goal of Iowa Learning Farms is to build a culture of conservation, encouraging the adoption of residue management and conservation practices. Farmers, researchers and ILF team members are working together to identify and implement the best in-field management practices that increase water and soil quality while remaining profitable.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Puppy Behavior (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/)
- - Excessive barking (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/460329-excessive-barking.html)
Excessive barking
Have been reading up on this issue and am trying to do something about it.
I have a 9 month old GS pup and he barks alot, and his bark is very loud. He had become fixated on a neighbors window and will sit there and bark at it if left to himself.
He has found that squirrels go into trees, now he goes nuts and barks at trees squirrel or not. I have 2 neighbors in close proximity, one he likes and doesn't bark at at all, the other he seems to hate with a passion and the feeling is mutual.
I have a privacy fence up along most of our adjoining fence, but of course he knows when they are there and tends to go ballistic, very aggressive with raised fur and all. He will eventually listen to me and grudgingly stop when I get after him, but 5 minutes later if someone else walks in the yard it starts all over again.
Another factor is they are muslims and tend to despise dogs, I think my dog picks up on this and hence his aggressiveness towards them and his docileness with the other neighbor [who has a beagle on his last legs]. Dogs of course pick up on fear and can basically tell when a person is not a "dog person", and these people are anything but.
They have a young daughter and of course she is highly intimidated by him and has a hard time going to her backyard unless I am there to reign him in. Also doesn't help that she likes to tease him from a distance, barking at him and peeking around corners trying [successfully] to get a rise out of him.
Today she stopped me and asked if she could ask me something, I said sure.
She said "did you know it is illegal to let your dog out at night when people are trying to sleep" ? I said well, he is barely out at night, dogs do bark, and if you guys have a problem, feel free to call the police. She said well, I just don't want to see you get arrested !
Knowing she didn't think up these things herself, I decided it was time to have a convo with her father and cut our dialog short.
I should add that he isn't out much at night, I take him out of course to play with a ball a bit and do his business, and I'm on him quick if he starts barking. He is usually to bed well before midnight, and not out again until 9am or so.
Also, me and the father have had a very good relationship up until now, I even considered him a friend. I built his garage for him and am constantly doing things like letting him use my charger for his cars or air pump for flat tires ect.
Well the convo with the dad was like something out of the twilight zone. He said the barking was indeed driving him nuts, he felt he is going to get ambushed every time he goes in his backyard ect.
I told him I see your points, I am not happy about the barking but he is a pup and will learn not to bark at neighbors soon enough. I said the majority of time I or someone else is out with him and he gets immediately corrected when he starts his aggressiveness.
He said a dog is a dog and will always bark, he said he will never learn, then he proposed a "compromise" .. I said sure, what do you have in mind ? He proposed that I simply get rid of my dog so they can live in perfect peace and quite !
Needless to say this did not sit will with me and I said you can stop right there ,,, But he kept going on and on they he was being driven crazy and the only solution was for my dog to go. I kept trying to impress him that it is an evolving situation with a young puppy that I am working on ,,, Then he said he would "compensate" me if I got rid of him, or at least replace him with a dog which doesn't bark much.
Got pretty testy after that, I said whats the next step, are you going to call the police ? He didn't say anything, and I said ,, You going to toss a poison burger over my fence maybe ? He said oh no, I am a medical professional and wouldn't do that, but I had to put him on notice, I really think he would consider this as an option to stop his self professed torment.
We went back and forth and he kept going back to the premise that the only solution was for my dog to go, I had heard enough and walked away.
So yes I am concerned, I do grant the point that he is a bit yappy and that having to go past my gate with him out there can be annoying to intimidating, especially for the young one.
I got him to the point where he is starting to control his instinct to bark at the adults and older children, at least while I'm there with him ... But he can't control himself with the young ones, no doubt he remembers and resents the teasing and badgering they subject him to.
So I don't know, I'm open to suggestions. Would like to avoid a shock collar. Until I can control him a bit better I'm going to try to make it mandatory that someone from my household be out there with him. He barges through the door himself often, so I'll have to keep the door shut to avoid that ,,, But I'm looking for solutions before this situation spirals. I was highly insulted that he'd have the gull to request that I get rid of my dog so he can have 100% peace and quite, I'm not inclinded to say anything else to this guy after that ,,, But I wanted to control his barking before this and have been trying to do so, even more so now.
My method until now has been to tell him to shut up repeatedly until he listens, perhaps with a smack on the ass if he ignores me. When he does listen and shuts up, I say good boy ect and try to pat him, but he is still so worked up that is is just a hairs trigger away from starting again.
Sorry to ramble, I'm sure this topic has been gone over before, not much in the searching mood right now.
He might be somewhat compulsive, when he barks at trees he leaps as well, same with cars coming down the alley, he just goes nuts.
Sorry, this may not be an answer to your question, but...
I saw a "Cops" episode where someone complained about the neighbors dogs barking at night. The cop wouldn't/couldn't do anything and said "They're dogs, they are going to bark. There's not much you can do about it, other than move out."
Though the law may be different in other areas.
But I would not want my dogs barking either. I try to be considerate of our neighbors. If my dogs bark after dark, I just tell them "No!" and they usually stop. If not, I just bring them inside. Sorry I couldn't help!
Well, this guy is highly exaggerating.
He is literally not out much at night, certainly not "sleeping hours" after 11 pm or so. When he is, I am with him playing with his ball, yeah he lets out a few barks here and there but I shush him after a few. And this as before the incident today, I am not an irresponsible dog owner. This is my 4th shep, all of them have been house dogs. This guy has got himself into a funk and probably believes his own lies, I could not care any less if he calls the cops, a poison burger is what I'm worried about.
And like I said, I grant his points. He is overly aggressive towards them, and he does have a loud, piercing bark. When he said "a dog is a dog and can never learn and will always bark", I knew I reached a dead end trying to reason with him.
If I was vindictive I'd let him bark up a storm and even encourage it just to spite him, but I'm not. When I tell him to be quiet, I want him to be quiet and I do want him to recognize that he does not have to bark at neighbors, people he sees every day.
Get a bark collar and use a low stim. Collar plus your verbal correction can modify the behavior. I like the sportdog 10r.
Also find ways to keep him occupied outside. Bones, toys, etc. make sure to exercise him mentally and physically.

He was out of line for suggesting to get rid of your dog but if people are not dog people then they probably don't understand the connection and what a dog means to us.
But in any case, I try to be considerate. It's not always easy to shut them up but then bring him inside if you can't.
Also, if he's aggressive to them then I understand their feelings. It doesn't feel good to have a dog going at you.

The Collectors Series
Throughout 2013, AGA exhibitions and programs will examine the role of collecting, both institutional and private, and how these collections are reflective of certain times, places as well as personalities.
In this ongoing lecture series, the AGA has invited a small group of Canadian private collectors to speak, in conversation, about their interests, goals and ambitions for their collections. What is evident is that one need not be an art expert or a millionaire to start an art collection. Interest, curiosity and passion are often enough to spark what could eventually be a lasting visual legacy.

"Having an 8U Softball team the girls wanted to still look "cute" as well as "tough", these socks were the perfect choice for them. I would reccomend that you get the intermediate size for anyone with a size 3 shoe or larger. We have a few girls that wear a size 4 and I purchased all youth sizes and they do not pull up as high as they should. The look of the sock is great and so far has washed up very nicely with no running or shrinking. I give this sock 5 stars!" (E20783)
"LOVE LOVE LOVE the jerseys! Wonderful Fit and Great Quality!! Best price!" (E1877)
"I order 19 of these for our U11 boys as their end of season gifts. I had a friend that had a store and could not get any bags for me for less than $20 each so I searched and found them here for $14 and some change. The boys absolutely loved them and the parents and coach was impressed with the quality and size. After receiving them, I had boys player #'s put on them by the same friend. Even she was impressed at the cost I got them at and the quality. I would definately order these again if needed. Great product! Quick shipping!
