Marky's Caviar store provides all types of true caviar - the Sturgeon Caviar: Beluga, Osetra, Kaluga, Sevruga, Sterlet, Siberian Sturgeon, White Sturgeon and Hackleback. These species are manufactured on the best sturgeon aquafarms all around the world with the strictest quality control system by the best caviar experts.
Being among the most valuable food product the black Sturgeon caviar is one of the most wholesome products. The Sturgeon caviar has all the benefits of the healthy seafood and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and vitamins that make it an ideal part of any healthy diet or a recreation course after heavy disease. One of the advantages of this product is the way it is cured, it is called 'caviar malossol' which means 'little salt' in Russian. After several stages of cleaning the roe undergoes a short curing process for about 4-5 minutes in a warm brine after which it turns into a highly delicious Sturgeon caviar.
If we speak about the true caviar we actually mean the whole range of the Sturgeon caviar (or Sturgeon roe sometimes) because only the species of the Sturgeon family are the source of the product that is very often called 'black caviar' just like in the Russian language where this tradition came from. This family is not very big and counts only 27 members most famous of which are the Beluga, Kaluga, Osetra, Siberian Sturgeon, Sevruga, Sterlet, Hackleback, and White Sturgeon. These are the species that haven't changed for the last more than 50 million years. They have witnessed the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, the creation of the modern Earth as we know it, the birth and evolution of the human, the rise and fall of the empires. After serious decrease of the Sturgeon population in its natural environment the aquafarms became of extreme importance supplying highly wholesome and delicious products like caviar and fish flesh in a sustainable way and thus providing the people a possibility to buy Sturgeon for a reasonable price without harming the wild nature.
Here at Marky's Gourmet Store we are offering you a wide choice of high-quality products and you can buy sturgeon online for the best price!

As Utah settles into 2013, signs are plentiful that this should be a good year for the state's economy and the million-plus workers whose livelihoods depend on it.
Job numbers are growing at rates commensurate with normal times. Unemployment is at a four-year low. Homebuilding is picking up again and home prices are showing a modest recovery. Lots of companies are trooping to Utah, bringing jobs that pay more than prevailing wages.
"I feel very comfortable saying the Utah economy is back," said Natalie Gochnour, chief economist at the Salt Lake Chamber, which has 7,400 members across the state.
"We are back to our historic rate of growth. We are a leading state for job growth. Our unemployment rate has been heading in the right direction and is the sixth-lowest in the nation."
And yet.
In spite of the favorable signals, many everyday Utahns are doubtful. Instead of welcoming the evidence, they seem to take Utah's recovery with a huge grain of salt. According to Zions Bank, which tracks consumer attitudes, they are less bullish today than they were a year ago. In December, their views of the economy and on their own state of affairs were just slightly more sanguine than in November, when consumer attitudes had descended to a 2012 low.
Damping their mood was (and is) the incessant deadlock between Congress and the White House over how to put tax revenue and spending on a path that sets the budget deficit on a downward path, allows the U.S. economy to grow, and doesn't hurt lower-income Americans. Although Congress and the White House agreed earlier this month to raise income taxes on individuals making more than $400,000 and couples with incomes above $450,000, the battle isn't over. Congress must agree to raise the debt ceiling by March 1 or face the prospect of defaulting on its obligations.
"We are seeing a close correlation to consumer confidence and the polarized bickering within our federal government, meaning the inability of our federal government to wisely tackle our fiscal crisis is causing real anxiety and confusion," said Randy Shumway, CEO of The Cicero Group, the Salt Lake City-based market research company that prepares a consumer attitudes index for Zions each month.
"And yet, businesses are really growing and employment is improving," Shumway said. "So I expect in 2013 that we will continue to see systemic business and labor growth. But it will be coupled with consumer anxiety that is caused by the confusion created by the leadership vacuum that we are seeing in Washington, D.C."
Anxiety • Consumer confidence is a proxy for spending, and spending drives roughly 70 percent of economic growth. The Zions survey showed consumers were slightly more optimistic in December about current business conditions and hiring. But their outlook for the next six months deteriorated to its lowest level in at least a year.
"People are feeling OK about their current economic circumstances, but they are feeling genuine anxiety about their future," Shumway said.
And that, said the Chamber's Gochnour, could temper further growth in Utah in the coming year. If Congress and the White House do not resolve their differences over the budget, the U.S. economy will have a hard time accelerating. If it remains stuck in low gear, Utah is bound to suffer.
"I do not see a scenario where we can continue to have strong growth [in Utah] and a U.S. economy that doesn't perform better," Gochnour said. "We are not an island."
By most measures of vigor, Utah has performed far better than the wider U.S. economy since the recession ended in mid-2009. Consumer confidence is far higher in the state than elsewhere. Job growth is twice as rapid here, and the unemployment rate is almost 3 percentage points percent lower than the U.S. rate of 7.8 percent.
The Governor's Office of Economic Development had its best year ever in fiscal 2012. It offered post-performance tax incentives to companies that agreed to create 9,065 jobs paying at least 25 percent more than the average compensation of the counties in which they will operate. Midway through this fiscal year, GOED has offered tax breaks to companies that have pledged another 4,353 jobs.
Vibrant Utah • Utah's economy stands head and shoulders above most states, says Eric Temple, who moved his video production company to South Ogden from Bethesda, Md., 18 months ago. The Washington, D.C., region, where he lived for two decades, was largely insulated from the worst effects of the recession because of government spending, he said. But on returning to Utah, where he met and married his wife in the 1980s, Temple was struck by how much more spirited the state seemed.
"Utah sank lower than Washington did and has further to come back. But it seems more vibrant. It seems like people are taking more entrepreneurial risks than in the D.C. area," Temple said.
Highway 89 Productions did well last year, Temple said. His clients, a mix of government, nonprofit and corporate customers, began to spend more freely in 2012. Their budgets are still tight, he said, but 2013 should be another good year.
In Maryland, Temple came to learn that watching Congress and the White House fight "is sort of like the local team sport. So I've already factored the congressional dysfunction into my own planning."
"I have had a better couple of years in the past two years than in the previous two. So in spite of the dysfunction, I'm still optimistic that at some point businesses have to realize they have to get on with their [work]. They can't hold their breath forever," he said.
A housing rebound • Despite the political uncertainty, consumers generally are feeling better, said Rene Oehlerking, marketing director of Garbett Homes, a Salt Lake City-based homebuilder. Last year, Garbett sold all of its housing inventory that had been built during previous years without lining up buyers. Today, the company has sales contracts on all the homes it builds, and Oehlerking says undeveloped land values in Salt Lake, Davis, Utah and Summit counties have jumped as much as 40 percent as developers jockey among themselves.
"Most of the production builders, who build more than 50 homes a year, are completely convinced that the market has turned around," he said, citing reasons why Garbett believes 2013 will be a good year for his company. Consumers who put off buying a new home until prices stopped falling now see values rising again, if only slowly. People who lost their homes to foreclosures or short sales are getting into the market again. And workers who feared for their jobs during the recession now feel more hopeful they will stay employed.
"We are feeling very bullish for 2013," Oehlerking said.
Lingering effects • Yet there still isn't across-the-board acceptance of Utah's recovery. Many unemployed Utahns remain reluctant to re-enter the labor market, apparently skeptical that they will find work. Although the labor force participation rate moved up in 2012, it is still more than 5 percentage points below 72 percent, where it stood before the recession started in 2007, said Mark Knold, chief economist at the state Department of Workforce Services.
"Obviously, there are a good [number] of people who were previously looking who decided not to do that anymore," Knold said.
And although employment has started to expand by at least 3 percent a year the long-term annual rate is 3.1 percent, going back to the 1950s it might take two years of strong job growth before participation in the labor market returns even to 70 percent, Knold said.
"Having said that, this is the best environment we've been in since the recession started. But the recession's consequences aren't completely gone, and the strongest effect has been on labor and its idleness," he said.
Last September, Utah finally regained all of 80,000 or so jobs that were lost to the recession. Although that appears to suggest the recovery is complete, it doesn't account for close to 100,000 people who became old enough to join the workforce. Knold said Utah will need to create 20,000 jobs a year just to absorb the newcomers. Only when the number rises above 20,000 for several more years will the economy absorb everyone who was laid off during the downturn and is still sitting outside the labor market.
At least for 2013, that looks likely. Knold believes employment will expand by 3.5 percent, and could go even higher if the housing market's recovery is real.
"It looked like the housing market turned the corner in 2012 and is poised for a good 2013, just because of the pent-up demand for housing that developed during the recession years," he said.
If construction does take off this spring, employment growth could go even higher perhaps above 4 percent, Knold said.

Jobs gained, jobs lost
In September, Utah finally regained the last of 80,000 jobs lost during the recession. The gains weren't spread equally across all sectors of the economy, however. A look at which have recovered and which haven't (September 2007 vs. September 2012).

It's Friday... and that's not just Friday here on Lennie Ross Writes. It's Shoe Friday! Every week I feature a pair of shoes from my closet. Yep, that means I own over 52 pairs of shoes, and since I've been doing this for a while, I think the number is higher than that!
Click your heels three times and say "There's no place like Hollywood." That's right, Dorothy. We are not in Kansas anymore and neither are these blue sequin and satin Jill Stuart babydoll pumps.
I got these babies 8 years ago at Bloomingdales and they are still in mint condition. Why? Cause I don't want to wear them out, so I rarely wear them. Crazy, huh? They came in black too, and boy do I regret not getting those. If only they came in red, then I could be off to see the Wizard.

I quit reading the jokes on another forum when they all were posted using members names as the characters in the jokes. I see that it has now spilled into this forum. Am I the exception, or do others dislike this procedure?
I am not offended, nor do I think it is meant to be harmful. I just think it takes away from the original joke and distracts me from the joke's real meaning. I know most of the posters and the names used. All are great guys, just poking fun at each other. I just think the joke means more if my little one track mind only has to follow one subject. :roll:Of course, as I said in the OP, it may just be my senile, old, grumpy ways. That's why I wanted more opinions.
I have refrained from posting any jokes here on beemaster until I get familiar with the members and they get familiar with myself.
Dont worry no turtles was actually abused in the making of this joke. Bills pet turtle is just fine. He lost a little duct tape. Once that is replaced he will be ready to go again
I just want you all to know that I love all of you :-* and I find it kinda flattering to be included in your joke telling circle.

text: Parents needed for international kids with medical needs By Julie Robinson August 17, 2013 Story Share Chris Dorst John Skaff and Sarah Stephenson have adopted five children from China. They are (from left) Jerry, 6, Katie, 4, Christa, 7, Erin, 8, and Jaiden, 8. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- John Skaff and Sarah Stephenson were pretty busy with their three young adopted daughters when they decided three weren't enough. They enjoyed family time with Erin, 8, Jaiden, 8, and Christa, 7, as much as they enjoyed their professions -- she is a veterinarian and he is an engineering staffing professional -- but knew they could do more.Skaff and Stephenson have adopted two more Chinese children, Jerry, 6, and Katie, 4, to increase the ranks of the bustling family that shares a home and small farm with donkeys, horses, cats, birds, rabbits, birds, ducks and a guinea hen.All of their children are considered to have special needs, but only Katie has discernible issues, in her fingers and toes."What they consider special needs for adoption can be a deformity in an ear, birthmark on a face or a cleft palate. Most of them are repaired before they leave China," Stephenson said.In July 2011, the Charleston couple traveled to China and adopted Katie. When she found out about a new rule in China that simplified subsequent adoptions when they occur within a year of the first adoption, Stephenson quickly searched for a fifth child.Stephenson reviewed cases and found Jerry. She and the girls sat down with Skaff and convinced him that Jerry would be a good fit in their family."We had Katie and had said that was it. Then she wanted to bring a boy into the all-girl program," Skaff said.They went back to China late in 2012 to bring home 6-year-old Jerry, who had an intestinal issue that probably overwhelmed his birth family. He was abandoned when he was 3 months old and lived in a facility for children with significant medical needs. "He has been an unbelievable miracle," Stephenson said. "He spoke very little English but quickly learned the alphabet and numbers to 100."Today, his family helps him manage his condition through his diet. "He needs to eat very healthy. He's made us all healthy," said Stephenson.Stephenson is such a believer in the Chinese adoptions that she's become advocate for affordable adoptions. She works with Agape Adoptions, which is a relatively small agency that focuses on international adoptions of children with medical needs.Stephenson also hopes to dispel the misconception that few boys are available for adoption in China. "People have it in their minds that only girls are available. That's not true, but the only boys who are available are those with special needs. There are tons and tons of boys who never get considered because of those needs," she said.In his kindergarten class last year, Jerry scored 100 percent on everything. All the Skaff children do very well in school.The family marveled at the ease of Jerry's adaptation into their family because he was the eldest of the children they'd adopted. "We prayed really hard that he wouldn't be afraid and would adjust smoothly. We prayed that if he did that, then we'd give all the credit where it was due -- to God for blessing us with an amazing family."Through their connection with international adoptions and their strong faith, Stephenson and Sherri Willis (see accompanying story) share a desire to spread the word about the joy of special-needs and international adoptions. Stephenson especially wants to help match prospective parents with resources."I'm blessed to have the greatest job in the world, but I consider my side work in advocating and in spreading the word that this is not a hard thing to do. If anybody is interested, I am more than happy to talk to them," Stephenson said."There are so many countries. I'm super familiar with China, but there are waiting children all over the world."She acknowledges that adoption is expensive but emphasizes that help is available through organizations and foundations such as one founded by singer Steven Curtis Chapman."People think the expense is impossible. Yes, there's expense, but there are ways to lessen the expense. There are grants available. People do fundraising," she said. "I'm in debt up to my eyeballs, and I am delighted to be. We've invested in our kids and their future."For more information on special-needs and international adoption, visit www.rainbowkids.com or email Stephenson at firstname.lastname@example.com Robinson is a former Gazette staff writer.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Jun 30, 2009.
Dumards is an idiot! Why even bother playing the season? 76ers sign C Primoz Brezec - NBA - ESPN
Pistons just fell down another notch in the EC power rankings for sure. This is a big move for the Sixers and I can only hope that Joe has been burning up Kelvin Cato's agents' cellie in an effort to counter this big signing. ...we're doomed.
Everyone knocks Primo, but he does play hard.
Full of sound and fury but accomplishing very little.
Quentin Richardson Signs with the Heat Im sure a lot of people know, but I didn't see it in here, so what the heck! Oft-traded Richardson excited for chance to fit in with Heat
Though this seems madness, there is method in it.
Re: Quentin Richardson Signs with the Heat ...at least for the week he'll be there before he gets traded again. The guy has been traded FOUR times since draft night!!! Sheesh!
That Polonius knew what was up. Primo I'm not so sure about.
Amir's a Raptor now It's official. AP source: Raptors agree to deal Delfino to Bucks - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
Amir Johnson - Ramblin Man.... Old John Hammond is a busy bee. So much for everyones thinking he was in love with Amir Johnson. He was really in love with getting and moving Amir Johnson to go get another ex-draft pick "Carlos "my feelings are hurt" Delfino". Guess you guys stocking up on Amir/Milwaukee Jerseys have valuable collector items to sell on Ebay... "The Toronto Raptors have agreed to send swingman Carlos Delfino to Milwaukee in exchange for power forward Amir Johnson as part of a four-player trade, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Monday" (From Walter's link)
Primo is no Polonius. More like Antonio... willing to give a pound of flesh.
Re: Amir Johnson - Ramblin Man.... Amir to Toronto OMG.
Re: Amir Johnson - Ramblin Man.... You can't escape him, Smoooth. On the bright side, I'm pretty sure Amir will be taller in Canada.
Re: Amir Johnson - Ramblin Man.... Less gravity up there, and he's closer to the Magnetic North Pole. Should add 3 inches.
Re: Amir Johnson - Ramblin Man.... No, actually he loses a couple inches when his boots (or mukluks) sink into the snow. He won't like it one bit.
Re: Amir Johnson - Ramblin Man.... Very true. Satellites solve mystery of low gravity over Canada - space - 10 May 2007 - New Scientist
Jason Williams Signed by the Magic Looks like they are going to be a pretty hard team to beat this year! Magic Sign Point Guard Williams
NBA free agency: Is Allen Iverson close to landing a deal? - ESPN I'm officially confused. How can the Heat even think about signing Iverson if they are above the lux tax? Have they not spent their MLE? Do you get the MLE if you are above the lux tax?
The question is who ruined AI's career? Joe or Curry? To go from $21 mill a season to begging for a team to sign you for a league min has to be disheartening to him. He could probably make $10 mil in Europe and be the man on his team and that city he goes to....
There is one more person that you forgot to include.
Separate names with a comma.

-Two phesants (legs and breasts)
-mushrooms (sliced)
-1 pint of sweet cream
-1 can of cream of chicken soup(mixed well with 1/2 can of water)
-white wine
Dredge phesant parts in (flour,salt,pepper) mixture and panfry in oil till browned. Next, place meat in baking dish and cover with sweet cream, sliced mushrooms and cream of chicken soup. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 2 hours (checking the bird every now and again to baste in sauce mixture). With 30 minutes left in baking time, add about 1 to 2 cups of white wine. The white wine will add flavor and will act as a tenderizer to the meat. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes then serve. Here is what I do: I serve this dish with wild rice, putting a little of the sauce on the top of the phesant. HEY, ENJOY IT, I KNOW I DO!

Sorry to hear it dude...
Isn't this the gun w/ the Springfield frame but a non-springfield slide?
Woe is me; I went by myself to the range yesterday. That is unusual for me and to make it even stranger I took only one handgun. I opted for the new, to me, Springfield 1911A1 I obtained on last Friday.
I will start with I am sure I did the worst shooting of my long handgun shooting. All be it, I was able to do all right at 7-15 yards but my shooting was nothing to write home about. I took 100 rounds of 230gr Winchester White Box 45acps with me and I expended 93 of them.
I have serious doubts whether or not this pistol was fired before. I had a couple of cases where the magazine refused to drop and this reinforces my doubts of prior use. These problems ceased after three magazines were fired.
I stopped firing at the 93 round mark when the plunger tube between the safety and the slide release fell out. Once I fix this, I am sure it is a good weapon but not the equal of my Springer (Loaded) because the later was given a carry bevel by Marianne Carniak.
Do I have any other complaints with the new Springer? Yes, there is a sharp edge in the front of the magazine well and the trigger has sharper edges than I care for that resulted in a blister on my trigger finger.
Richard :-D
Sorry to hear it dude...
Isn't this the gun w/ the Springfield frame but a non-springfield slide?
Yes, this is the handgun with the Springer frame and military slide. Regards, Richard

Re: Pause Button
I wonder if it is a problem originating at XM? In the last week I have noticed the song info not updating or updating about 10-20 seconds after the song began. Pause feature also has become a problem. Given that others are just recently noticing the same problems, it's possible XM sent some kind of update that has affected the radios. I certainly hope that is not the case because I refuse to deal with XM techs. They will deny a problem, never understand what the problem is, pass the buck to GM and then try to sell me a cheap plug n play radio.

Re: Pause Button
Very doubtful the problem is XM. Time shifting (pause) is a radio feature, not an XM feature. If the display is a little slow, that might be XM, but all they do is stream music (and title/artist info), no functionality.

I don't believe it is an XM issue because after pause and during playback at some point the recording will go into a continuous loop and continue playing from the same set point. This is going to be a very difficult situation to explain to any service advisor or tech that does not know the workings of how these advanced features operate.
To Cadillac Customer Service - how do we deal with situations like this where we are wasting our time leaving our vehicles in for service and we know what the ultimate result will be? No Fault found....
Most of us have been in situations like this before and it is very frustrating to get these problems fixed.

Re: Pause Button
Thank You Katie!
Re: Pause Button
Hey Guys! I'm re-posting this in this thread so you don't miss it. It seems the Pause Button issue is linked to the song title not updating issue:IT'S FIXED! IT'S ALL FIXED!!!
Ok guys, so here's the deal, in an earlier post I mentioned that the 'soft reset' procedure did not fix the song info issue. Well, I'm not sure if the procedure required one more ignition cycle to work, or if XM pushed some magic button to fix some issue on their end, but by the time I got in my car to drive home from work (a few hours after the reset) the song titles/artists were updating normally! Not only were they updating normally, but they were updating VERY quickly....like instantly. I came home, ate, did some things around the house, and just took the car back out for about 20 minutes, enough to hear about 6 songs, all info updating perfectly now! Let me recap the soft reset procedure in detail in case that is what fixed it:1. Disable any bluetooth devices you had synced to the radio
2. Make sure there are no CDs/DVDs in the radio (press eject)
3. Start Car
4. Tune to any XM channel and make sure that station is playing OK (i.e. make sure your car has a clear view of the sky).
5. Turn off the radio by pressing it's power button.
6. Shut off car
7. Open driver's door and leave it open for at lease 1 minute.
8. Start Car
9. Tune to any XM channel and make sure that station is playing OK
10. Have XM send the refresh signal (I did this over the phone, but you should be able to use the online refresh: https://care.siriusxm.com/retailrefresh_view.action )
11. If you had the refresh done on the phone the rep should confirm it was successful, if doing it online, just follow the instructions there.
12. Not sure if this is needed, (mine still wasn't updating after the above steps, but did later when I came back) but shut the car back off for a few minutes and come back later.
It will be interesting to find out if it was the 'soft reset' that did it - or if XM already jumped on fixing something on their end. Major props to them if they did.
NOW, for some REALLY exciting/interesting news:It seems that the above issue and the Pause button issue (see other thread) must be related! Ever since that drive home when I realized the songs were updating again, my pause button/time shifting is once again operational, even after listening for 5 minutes. Also confirmed this on the 2nd drive tonight. It all works now! So somehow the song info not updating was breaking the time shifting feature!
PLEASE, share your experiences here! Did the above fix work for you (soft reset needed)? Or did it start working on it's own (issue solely on XM's end)? The more info we collect the easier it will be to fix should this issue crop again one day.

Re: Pause Button
Mine works now too! Must have been an XM issue. Did not have to do anything, it just worked today. Thanks Davedogcaddy.
Re: Pause Button
yup, all along it was tied to a problem on XM's end. Guess I should call my dealership and update them so they stop researching the issue. I'm just glad we have an answer.
Re: Pause Button
OK, so here is the latest in this saga for me. I started this thread when the pause button wasn't functioning correctly. Mysteriously it started working again. Unfortunately, that was short lived and it crapped out again. I did the XM reset and it has been working well for almost a week now.
Re: Pause Button
I have a theory about the pause button issue. Since we have already established Pause button issues stem from XM issues....
On my wife's 2008 CTS (which, ironically, was not affected by the Pause button or slow XM info problems) when you use the Pause Button/Time Shifting features, you can use the skip buttons to rewind (automatically) to the beginning of the song. I think it uses the song tags (titles) to be able to do this. Now on our SRXs there doesn't seem to be a way to do this (at least not from what I've found), it just rewinds in 10 second increments. However, maybe some of the coding is still there that looks for the song tags, and since that information wasn't updating it broke the Time Shifting.
Just my 2 cents.
In other news I stopped by my dealership and give them all the info on the 'fix' and passed on the XM rep's direct phone number that I worked with. They seemed very grateful for this info. While I was the only one who had (or noticed) the pause button issue, they had many customers complaining about the slow XM update issue.
Re: Pause Button
Thanks Dave for posting the fix.

Logic -- the science of reliable inference, sound judgment, inexorable truth. How ironic then that Oracle's information on their new Exalogic system actually has no logic in it.
Claims involving such topics as throughput and hardware usually involve something concrete to back them up. In this case, Oracle's source is "performance testing using equivalent workloads on Exalogic vs. third-party hardware" which could be almost anything.
If you read Oracle's introductory white paper about the system, you can clearly see that any performance claims are based on some form of internal testing. It's not clear exactly what workloads were used and what the improvements claimed were even made against.
Oracle compares Exalogic to a "standard platform." Oracle compares Exalogic to a "typical alternative." Oracle compares Exalogic with a "typical hardware configuration." If you read closely you can even see that the Exalogic system is tuned to the max while the other system uses defaults with basically no performance tuning.

Space to unwind
A work-at-home couple transforms a small California backyard into a cozy retreat for decompressing
By Sharon Cohoon
"When your home and office are the same place, it's harder to stop working," says Ian Kimbrey, who works in an office above his garage, as does his wife, Joanne Forchas-Kimbrey. "You need a separate area for recreation that tells the brain it's time to switch gears." So the couple (he's a photo editor, she works for a design firm) asked landscape designer Jay Griffith to help them turn a small lawn between their house and the garage into a transitional area, a "decompression chamber" where they can relax after work.

We believe strongly in the principles and values of fairness and due process. However, we have been wronged in this investigation, and we believe that this process must come to a swift resolution, which includes no additional punitive measures beyond those already self-imposed.
In September 2010-two and a half years ago-the University of Miami advised the NCAA of allegations made by a convicted felon against former players and, at that time, we pledged our full cooperation with any investigation into the matter. One year later, in August 2011, when the NCAA's investigation into alleged rules violations was made public, I pledged we would 'vigorously pursue the truth, wherever that path may lead' and insisted upon 'complete, honest, and transparent cooperation with the NCAA from our staff and students.'
The University of Miami has lived up to those promises, but sadly the NCAA has not lived up to their own core principles. The lengthy and already flawed investigation has demonstrated a disappointing pattern of unprofessional and unethical behavior. By the NCAA leadership's own admission, the University of Miami has suffered from inappropriate practices by NCAA staff. There have also been damaging leaks to the media of unproven charges. Regardless of where blame lies internally with the NCAA, even one individual, one act, one instance of malfeasance both taints the entire process and breaches the public's trust.
There must be a strong sense of urgency to bring this to closure. Our dedicated staff and coaches, our outstanding student-athletes, and our supporters deserve nothing less."

The day I fell in love with the car (showroom model) 2011 Jetta SE with Conv.
When I brought it home (came tinted with monster mats, cargo blocks/liner)
First thing I did was vinyl wrap my rear emblem and add a (non oem) lip spoiler
Next step was to throw some LEDs all-around:
I found the Rcd-310 to be a bit boring so I decided it needed replacing. Got a great deal on an RCD-510 on Ebay.
Next up was some fresh new wheels. Got a great deal from a fellow vortex member on his 18'' Autobahn wheels.
I enjoy a more aggressive wheel so I picked up a GLI paddle shift wheel. Feels great, and all controls have been coded to work.
Got some carbon vinyl from ebay for cheap and wrapped the door cards only. Easy to do and helps set the interior apart and unique.
My fascination with my interior furthered when I got the itch to upgrade my RCD-510 to an RNS-510 nav unit.
Tint wrapped the side mirrors for a more subtle look and added chrome grill
Enabled comfort windows via remote
Increased comfort turn signals to 5
removed horn confirmation on lock

engine stuff.
possibly a euro/gli bumper

Michigan coach John Beilein pushes away any questions regarding his Wolverines' #2 ranking. Any mention of the 12-0 start isn't likely to get much of a response either. Thursday's 93-54 win over Eastern Michigan doesn't change Beilein's approach, despite being off to the best start since 1985-86.
"I really like winning and it beats the alternative," said Beilein. "But nothing. The 13th game will be 13 non-conference games and that's all we're allowed. If we could win them all that would be really good and then we start a whole new season with the conference schedule."
Michigan's goal at the beginning of the season wasn't to start 13-0… which should happen once Central Michigan visits Crisler Center on December 29th. Instead, the Wolverines goal was to start 1-0, and then 1-0, and 1-0 again. The game-by-game, practice by practice, film session by film session approach is working in large part because everyone from Beilein all the way on down to an usher, continues on the same page.
"I don't think they feel any of that pressure," said Beilein. "We don't put them in a cocoon --- we just don't talk about it. Our mantra everyday is 'lets just get better.'" Let's seize the day today and lets just get better.
"When that's in your staff and in everybody on the team and it's in your veterans --- the wins --- they will take care of themselves."
Michigan's focus and preparation is an awfully impressive gasoline that appears to be revving this 12-win engine. The strategy is simple for Beilein and the Wolverines, who are found relying on the advice of a Michigan coaching legend, albeit, in a far different sport.
"There's a great quote that Red Berenson has used before," said Beilein of the Michigan hockey coach. "'Practice like you're in second place and play like you're in first place.' I stole that from Red. It's perfect for what this team needs to do and when we practice, we practice like we've got a chip on our shoulders like we're trying to get there."
Michigan will take Friday and Saturday morning to prepare for both Central Michigan and even Northwestern, whom the Wolverines will open up Big Ten play with on January fourth. Players will have four days off for Christmas, which, as Beilein noted, is the most time off in a season one of his teams has ever had.

"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"I needed a simple calling card that would work as a card to schedule play dates and to give to vendors/contractors/whatever else I needed. This card fit the bill. It's simple but nicely designed and the size is different which makes it stand out from other cards. I am super happy that I sprung for the pearlized paper because it might have been a little boring without it. I'll be ordering more for sure. I got the blue version and it's a very nice color. The printing is crisp and clear."
"I used a photo I had taken and lightened for the backdrop - it's beautiful! I've tried doing this card on other sites, but either the photo quality was sub-par or I couldn't manipulate it the way I wanted. This goes all the way to the edge of the paper, which is what I wanted. I also love being able to do a little something in the back of the card. One wish: I'd like to be able to justify the writing to the bottom of the print space. I figured it out myself but for everyone who's super persnickety about spacing, it would be nice to have a way to do it automatically. Overall: I love these cards. Beautiful quality. Totally getting them from here again."
"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – The University of Hartford men's lacrosse team scored its second-straight win on Wednesday afternoon as it toppled in-state rival Sacred Heart, 14-8, on a snowy Al-Marzook Field. The Hawks improve to 5-3 on the season with the win, marking the program's best start since the 2000 season, while the Pioneers fall to 4-3.
Junior Carter Bender finished with a game-best five points on four goals and an assist to lead the Hawks who snapped a four-game losing skid to the Pioneers with the victory. Five other players reached the back of the net, four of which recorded multi-goal games. Rory Nunamacher, a sophomore, netted a hat trick and compiled four points while Jared Franze, Ryan Compitelloand Bowes each scored twice.
The Hawks, who snapped a four-game skid to the Pioneers, raced out to a 4-0 lead before allowing Sacred Heart reach the scoreboard. Freshman Tate Klidonas scored the first goal of the game just two minutes after opening face-off and Franze added another score for the home team at the 11:07 mark. Bowes doubled Hartford's lead, netting back-to-back goals at 4:27 and 2:52, before Pioneers' Bailey Dodds delivered the visitors' lone score of the period.
The two teams played an even second quarter, exchanging two goals each to put Hartford up 6-3 at the half. Nunamacher netted the Hawks' first goal in the frame and Bender delivered his first of four with just five seconds remaining in the half.
In the third, Dodds struck again 2:08 into the period to bring the Pioneers within two before Hartford answered with three straight of its own sparked by Compitello tally less than two minutes later. Bender scored his second of the contest and Nunamacher pushed Hartford's lead to five goals at 9-4 with 2:28 to play in the period.
Following a score by Sacred Heart's Mike Mawdsley to close out the third, Hartford regained its five goal edge when Bender found the back of the net with 13:27 left to play in regulation. Matt King got the score back for the visitors at the 9:44 mark however Franze and Bender rallied to lift the Hawks' lead to 12-6. Sacred Heart managed to string together a late two-goal run behind tallies from Mawdsley and Matt Ferrino however Nunamacher and Compitello put the game out of reach scoring the Hawks' 13th and 14th goals of the afternoon.
The Hawks dominated in nearly all facets of the game, outshooting the Pioneers 44-29 while holding a 37-26 edge in ground balls. The Hawks finished 19-of-24 at the face-off X behind senior Tim Fallon's 17-of-22 performance. Mike Brown, a sophomore, won both of his duels inside the circle.
Between the pipes, sophomore Frank Piechota earned the start for the Hawks, making two saves while allowing three goals to improve to 5-3 on the season. Bouncing back from an injury and making his season debut in net for the second half was junior Scott Bement who stopped five and allowed five in. Senior goalie Zach Frank made 14 saves in the loss for Sacred Heart.
Bailey Dodds, Mike Mawdsley and Matt Ferrino each netted two goals for Sacred Heart.
Hartford hits the road again on Saturday, March 26 for its final tune-up before conference play when it travels to Staten Island to face Wagner. Game time is slated for 2:00 p.m.

We live near the beach, and sea gulls have got to be some of the greediest birds around.

Nut & Connector (DCI)
The sixth one down. 121T
Can anyone confirm this Nut & Connector (DCI) (121T) is for the accurate 3 hole borden connector?
Yes it's the very item we seek :D
That's not quite true. The one posted above (part number 121T) has one big and two identical small holes. The original borden connector (part number 0121 - the 5th in the list or 4th in that image) has one big, one small and the 3rd hole is a bit smaller than the second one. See more here ==> 3-Hole Borden Connector
Cheers for clarifying that :thumbsup
Thanks Rafal, I didn't realize that. Sorry for the false information:facepalm
Hate to revive an old thread but wanted to clarify something based on my own experience. I just received two of the aforementioned DCI 3-hole borden connectors, part number 0121, and the three holes are NOT three different sizes. There is a large hole and two smaller holes, however the two smaller holes are indeed the same size. Close but not exactly correct. I think the only difference between 121T and 0121 is that the former comes with the nut and connector and the latter is just the connector. If anyone knows from where a correct Borden connector can be obtained, if it's even possible at all, I'd love to know.
After talking with Gav there isn't enough demand yet for a new run. :(
Ah, I see. Actually I had wondered if there were any original Bordens out there that were correct. I thought there were some that at least had the correct sized holes, though you'd have to reverse the Borden to get the right hole orientation as seen on the originals. Did I imagine this?
This looks pretty good ==> Handpiece Nut and Connector - BORDEN Style - 3 Hole.
Attachment 67249
Maybe it's the image, but the lower hole looks a bit smaller than the other small hole.
Well, to my eye, the two smaller holes look smaller than the two smaller holes on the Bordens I received (lol) though I can't tell if they are actually two different diameters or it just somewhat looks that way due to the angle in the pic. Luckily these aren't high dollar items or I'd be more annoyed I didn't get what I thought I was getting.
Just found two pages of the same site that talks about the 'Borden' and 'Midwest' connectors and its use ==> Terms & Abbreviations and ==> Handpiece Couplers - The ABC's of ISO
I think is hard to find the correct 3-hole Borden connector, but with a bit of luck...
You know, if all else fails, even a 2-hole connector could be usable. One could conceivably drill a 3rd hole in the size you wanted.
NSK 2/3 Hole Connection Handpiece Coupler
Not totally sure what exactly this is (as opposed to your average Borden) or why it's so much more expensive but notice the holes. They are very close to what we're looking for, especially in the orientation of the holes themselves.
So aggravating because I can find rubber gaskets that feature 3 different sized holes but can't seem to find what they go to.
Also found this and thought I had found something:
Canada Handpiece :: Handpiece MAINTENANCE tasks: Supplies :: Aerosol Spray Can Nozzles Adaptors :: 4, 5 and 6 hole connection Spray can Lubrication Adapter
Looks pretty much like what we are looking for except I can't seem to find any of these lubrication adapters that only have 3 holes.
what's more annoying is there's probably a dental practice somewhere with a draw full of old ones :lol
Haha! Yes indeed! It's really odd to me that a 100% correct piece has not yet been located. I can appreciate that they might be rare or hard to find, but surely something would've surfaced by now, right? The "super trooper build sheet" describes this part simply as a "dental greebly" (I'm assuming that's indeed referring to what we're looking for), so I'd say we are safe to assume it is something used in dentistry, at least. It seems logical that it'd be something pertaining to a dental handpiece, even if it isn't a Borden connector per se, but who knows?

text: For those of you who live with other people, what is acceptable as far as letting other people stay overnight? I currently share a house with 6 other people. We actually have a house rule that states that you can't have people overnight more than two times a week but with one guy, we never really enforced it because he and his girlfriend were generally very quiet and we only noticed her if she happened to go into the kitchen when someone else was there. Another guy, however, has been bringing his girlfriend over frequently, more than the allowable two times a week, and while they're not screaming and stuff, I can definitely hear them talking in his room, which gets annoying when I am trying to sleep. I am also concerned that the girlfriend seems to have a key to the house because I saw her just walk into the house without ringing the door bell or the guy letting her in.

I wanted to experiment with a nanotank so I bought a 2.5 gallon AGA and a miniaqualight. For substrate I used some sand from a nearby river. I put some rotala, ludwigia and wisteria in it for plants. The light is a 10,000k and an actinic. I will try to find a 6,700 to replace the actinic, but for now I want to see how it goes. If anyone can share there experience with a non filtered nanotank I would appreciate it.
IMO, filterless would mean no nutrient/CO2/oxygen distrubution throughout the tank unless you had a small powerhead, etc.. going.
I just use the Azoo/Red Sea Nano filters. Not really for filtering, but just for water movement, and they're small with a barely noticable clear intake tube.
Agree with Daemonfly. You need something to circulate the water, and an excellent choice would be the filter he suggested - can't think of other that wouldn't cause a hurrican.
There's a section on The All Wet Thumb that is dovoted to the low tech approach called "El Natural."
You can also find a lot of info at Natural Aquariums Forum
These guys run their tanks with lots of plants, and few fish, with no filtration at all.
Hi, Doug! <waving>
Urkevitz, I've run the same tank with no filtration. It's so tiny, it's not really necessary. Then again, I had a 25W Hagen Thermal Compact heater so I imagine there was usually some heat convection helping to move the water a bit. I kept a few guppies, too. What I did for CO2 was to put an over-turned bottle cap on the "exit end" of the tubing to act as a rudimentary bell diffuser. It was more than enough to keep the CO2 levels sufficiently high, but a lot of this is going to depend on KH. One time I got very careless and the pH plummeted to way lower than was safe (especially for guppies). First thing that clued me in was the disappearance of snails. The lack of current really helps to keep the CO2 in the water.
Later, before the AZOO palm filters ever came out, I put an AquaClear MINI on the tiny tank. I liked having a filter, but I had to do a LOT to slow down the flow so that it wasn't a monsoon. I think I eventually took it off again.
I do know of somebody who has the same set-up as yours, does NOT inject CO2, fertilize, filter, or heat his tank, and grows a ton of erect moss beautifully. He set up this tank specifically for keeping and breeding shrimp. He e-mailed me a photo of the set-up and it's beautiful.
Anyway, I found it unnecessary to have filtration, but now that they have these AZOO/RedSea palm filters, I just go ahead and use them. They don't hurt, and the fish seem to prefer a little current.
Today I replaced the actinic with a sylvania CF. I think t is 4100k, Now the plants are pearling. The new bulb is very orange, but with the 10,000k it looks like the same color as my 55g.
Hi Naomi <waving back>
I ended up going non filtered on my new 1.5 gal hex.
I used gravel from one of my running 10 gal tanks, and water out of my 55 gal. (start out with a good bacterial population this way)
I put in 3 White Cloud Mountain Minnows, and 1 Ghost Shrimp.
I used the White Clouds so I could run it without a heater.
I used the little air pump that came with the hex and an air stone,
I used a 10 watt 6500K compact fluorescent in the hood
I feed lightly everyother day.
It's been up and running for just over a week, and so far so good.
Pic below.
Heya... What a cute tank! I've been tempted in the past to get a hex, but at the time, it was very difficult to find any type of fluorescent lighting for it. Well, if I were you (and of course I'm not), I would try to stuff more plants into the tank and just do away with the air pump. This way, the plants will do better without the air bubbles driving out the CO2 and the fish will get enough oxygen from the healthy plants. You may also want to add fertilizer. See how the newest leaves are growing out sort of small? That's a pretty sure sign of nitrate deficiency. Of course, with that amount of lighting over such a small tank, ferts are going to get used up really fast - if not by plants, then by algae. DIY CO2 would be helpful, too.
Another thing - thought I'd suggest Heterandria formosa for a non-heated tank. They're small livebearers with the common name "least killifish" (misnomer - they're not really killies). I've been told that they can easily tolerate temperatures down in the 60's and even 50's. Some guy in SF said that in winters past, he's left a bunch of them in a barrel outside on the deck and they were fine. The water typically got down into the 40's. I've kept white clouds in an Eclipse System Three, and they just looked so out-of-place, trying to zip around at breakneck speeds; I think they're not really suitable for tiny tanks, but you may have a different experience. Amano shrimp are good for non-heated tanks, too. They're not a tropical species so they actually prefer slightly lower temps.
What are those floating plants?
Oh, also, there are plants that actually grow better in cold water. Some of these are Lysimachia nummularia (regular and 'aurea'), Cardamine lyrata, Hottonia palustris, Anacharis, and I think the Hydrocotyle spp. They also need quite a bit of light, but I'm reasonably certain that you have enough, there :wink: .
I love the rocks and gravel you use. They really make me think of the desert, with their warm tones.
It's a really sweet little set-up you've got! I might consider getting one for myself, but I'm already in the planning stages for a non-heated 4-gallon 'long'. Would love to see what your hex looks like a few months from now... Great start!
I will be adding more plants soon.
Haven't added any ferts yet, just the mulm that came with the gravel from one of my 10 gal tanks
The floating plant is Frogbit, which is like a tiny little cross between Lily Pads and Water Hyacinths.
The White Clouds do seem like they miss the 20 gal tank they were in, but the Ghost Shrimp seems to be really loving his (her?) new home.
Thanx for the compliments.

Discussion in 'February 2009' started by Dlev59, Feb 21, 2009.
"Aw... the bad wefs needs to take it easier on wittle Waseed. Why dey gotta hate?" Gimme a BREAK!
From the AI debates to the Rasheed debates. Interesting!!!
One of the NO assistant coaches said the Pistons were better without AI. It would be nice if he were to sign with the Heat or Hawks so DET could move up in the standings. Sheed wasn't playing last night when he got the T's?
The MINN announcers feel the same way. Damn LP for always giving me the opposing commentators.
Very interesting. AI and Sheed are just the sideshows. The real problems (Curry and Dumars) should be loving the fact that their incompetent is being overshadowed by AI, Rip and Sheed. Dumars has drafted poorly and misread his team. Curry is a joke. Anyone who says that we should release sheed is a joke. That would hurt our team to the tune of 13.5 million. That would make no sense.The fault starts at the top with Davidson, Wilson, Dumars, Curry, etc. The players deserve their share, but I think it has gone a little overboard. The entire team is struggling.
Good points. All this is a direct reflection on Dumars. Last I checked there was nothing in their contracts that says they have to play 40 MPG or not at all. I think at this stage in Sheeds career he would be better off the bench - and not play in crunch time most games. For AI? How can you not figure out a way to ulitlize his talent? Maybe starting SG with a rookie PG is not his thing.
So what is his thing? I don't think AI could play with AI. AI thinks he needs to have the ball in order to be effective and expects everyone else to adapt to him and play without the ball which is exactly what he can't do. Am I the only one that sees the irony there?
No. And i would pay to see AI discuss his game with AI.
They'd need a 65 second clock.
AI is good off-ball player. Its not his best game, but he can play it. Early 2000's AI used to cut towards and away from the basket through screens. AI just by his mere presence in the game, without even touching the ball turns the opposing defense attention towards him. Two AI on the same team? That would be very scary. This quote itself is enough proof how much clueless you are. The pistons tied the game in second quarter. They were without AI for third and 4th quarter, yet guess what?? They didnt manage to win. You blame AI for 8 minutes of play? Go play somewhere else kid.
Sheed has gotten old--that is the problem and no, Dumars couldn't do anything about it. Ben got old. Dice got old. Amir and Jmax play at the level of their draft picks. Amir a bit better than end of a second rounder. To put it another way, you can't expect to replace Ben and Sheed with Jmax and Amir. Lets not say how great our Pistons were and then say they are easy to replace. Those type of players are hard to come by. You know, Sheed has played in 7 conference finals. That is not an accident. But he cannot bring it much anymore. Its not the techs, it is the age. AI has not improved the Pistons and judging by the New Orleans game, his presence has made the offensive and defensive flows worse. The difference was quite remarkable. One game, one data point, yes, but it was pretty obvious. I am not into how good AI was or can be somewhere. He has not proved to be a fit here--not so far. This is not to detract from his career or his effort. The issue of small ball goes to the real issue of the poor mix of players. A major issue is the Pistons lack of three point threats post Billips which for some reason is rarely discussed. The issue of Curry falls in line after these other situations.
Ben wasn't even drafted. He sucked when he was 21. And despite all Sheed's frustrating tendancies, he's still our 2nd best +/- player this year. His body is young enough to still be effective, but he's gone AWOL.
That's not entirely accurate. JockBio: Ben Wallace Biography
The suck part? Maybe he didn't suck for being on a division II school, but if he would have been starting in the NBA at that age, forum members would have classified him as sucky. Ben didn't step foot on an NBA court until he was 22. That season he averaged 1.1 point and 1.7 rebounds per game in 34 games. His eFG was .348. So, my point is that I think it's totally reasonable to assume that an undrafted late bloomer could theoretically be replaced by a late drafted player.
TaS, I'm with you on Amir. It is frustrating watching these young guys, and the one thing I have to give him, is that he has all the stuff you can't teach. So it is entirely possible he gets it at some point. Of course, he needs to hit outside shots, or hit the weight room. Right now, he's too small to play inside, and he's not dangerous on the perimeter yet. I was watching a Rodman video Buckeyes posted yesterday, and had to look it up. Rodman came into the league at 25, and it took him a couple seasons to really establish himself. Amir has time. But only a couple more seasons. Time is starting to run down now. There are very few 5 or 6 year high school projects.
Is Amir ever going to be a starter? I think pairing him with a rookie coach and slowed down his development. This year has been a disaster for everyone especially Dumars. What do you do now?
My two cents on Amir. Reducing his minutes has had a negative impact on his development. Not that he would be an all-star by any stretch but the things he needs to work on are magnified with reduced playing time. What I mean is that AJ wants to be on the floor. He knows at this point with his current skills that the only way he can do that is hustling for rebounds and playing aggressive defense. He has been playing out of control and I think we can all agree on that. He tries to make plays that he can't or shouldn't be trying to make in order to have an effect on the game. By limiting his playing time he is trying harder and attempting to make more of these plays in shorter floor time to get back on the floor. I liken it to a puppy. You put them outside with no fence but put them on a leash. If you only let them off the leash every couple of days; what happens? They blast off to run and investigate every thing they couldn't get to while on the leash. The more they are allowed off the leash the less they will feel the need to run because they will know that they will be allowed off the leash again. The difference being that you can train the puppy to stick around and do what you want/need them to do if you stay with them and work with them. Curry lets AJ off the leash and then goes back in the house for a couple of cold ones only to come back, yell at the puppy for running away and putting him back on the leash for a couple more days. If you don't work with him and allow him to learn by doing; you are not helping him. I think he can be trained but his energy needs to be harnessed and directed in a positve direction and I don't think he is getting that.
Please do not step on TaS toes with the metaphors and analogies. I do not want to see this devolve into a Rip/AI situation between the two of you. One thing that stands out to me this season was a clip during the last BOS game where Curry was telling Amir to "run". He kept saying it, 'If we make a basket, run. Off a rebound, run." Why do they have to tell him that at this point in time? Same goes for Max and his D rebounding, what does it take or why does it take so long for them to understand their roles? I don't think either of these guys have added 1 thing to their games combined since they came into the L.
I actually read that and thought to myself, "damn, that's a good metaphor." I can appreciate a talented author when I see one. I just want to see the forum do well and it doesn't matter who gets the credit.
Yeah, but if we keep losing, don't turn this around and say you want to be the starter again. lol Amir needs to get cut. He's still too light in the pants.
Separate names with a comma.

Hey guys,
After 20 yrs in the Marine Corps, I will retire next May. I am going to be transplanting to the Birmingham area which is where my wife is from. I have only been there to visit her family who live in the Childresburg area. Since I have done no hunting there at all, I figure you might be able to tell me what the chances are of at least finding birds in that area. No spots please, just want to know if anyone hunts that area or knows anyone that hunts that area and has been successful. I plan on doing my scouting but if there are no birds in that particular area then I will start my search elsewhere.

The ATF just approved an AR-15 transfer for me. It is an old SP-1 legally converted before '86 and is fully transferable.
That said, who the heck can afford to feed it? I have seen Lakeside Machine's LM-7 belt fed .22LR upper. The owner once worked for Tippman when they made the 1919A4 mini clone in .22lr. I am a bit excited by the prospect of 100 rd belts of ammo that costs under $20.
I have heard mixed reports about how well they function. Some guys say they jam, others say they run well if you use the right recoil buffer. Others say they are ammo sensitive.
Does anyone in the forum actually know?

GSD Mix ears help
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys, sorry if it's the wrong forum, my pups ear were fully down when he was about two months, now that hes about 4 and a half months, his ears went up by quite a bit.
i was wondering if they could go up, my friend has a gsd and her gsd ears went up when he was at 7 months, she told me that she used glue and that my pups ears were normal and actually quite good for a mixed german shepherd.
i currently dont have pictures since they are all on my camera and phone, but his ears are just a litle bit less higher than him :
Ive talked about my parents of glueing, but they told me that it could damage his skin and fur and it was cruel somehow, they live in the appartment next to me and i wouldnt like to deceive them.
We had a german shepherd in algeria and they told me that my pups ears should go up but not fully up.
Thoughts ?
Thanks alot guys.
If you have a mixed-breed, don't glue or tape the ears. Let them do what they'll do, because they will anyway. When I was a kid, I had a GSD whose ears wouldn't go up, so I tried to glue foam curlers in there as supports.... all I did, I think, is make them fall down more! As it turned out, my dog wasn't a purebred GSD after all, but a mix with Labrador, so those ears probably wouldn't have stood no matter what I did.
Enjoy your dog, no matter what kind of ears she has! At 4.5 months, it could go either way, they may stand on their own after teething is done. Make sure her diet is good with plenty of animal protein and nutrient value. Giving her raw, meaty bones to chew on will help.

general info:
the development version of Transparency! is available @ the T! SVN
in order to download it, you'll need special svn software.
- if you prefer a command-line client: svn checkout http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency
- or if you use a gui based client, like TortoiseSVN use this url: http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
why would i use a development version of this skin
most important reason...because i need people to test things before i update the skin in the addon repo.
and second...you get to use all the new features first. :-)
the svn version gets updated a few times every week (time permitted)
and only after things have been tested throughly, changes will be added to the addon repo.
it can take anywhere between a week to a month before new features will be copied from the svn version to the addon repo version.
so what's new?
- not much at this time
please test and report issues concerning all the new features in the skin!
- if you want to use svn versions of T! you better make sure you'll also run a very recent nightly build of xbmc.
- do not install the T! svn version on top of your existing Transparency! skin.
- do not keep two copies of T! in your addons directory, so delete the stable version of Transparency! first.
- third-party svn builds (passionxbmc.org) of Transparency! are not supported by me!

With a future filled with scientific challenges, it's up to today's young minds to prepare to solve tomorrow's greatest mysteries. But with no moon landing to excite eager young minds and fewer opportunities to let them get motivated, how do you produce the next wave of scientists?
"First of all, we have to change what we expect of our students," Michigan State University Professor Bill Schmidt told CNN. Arguing for a more challenging student curriculum for grades K-to-12, Professor Schmidt also hopes that the United States adopts a more demanding attitude of kids, not only at school but at home as well. "We have to have parents who say: This is important. We don't have the luxury of not challenging our children. If we don't challenge them, how will we ever know that they can't do it?" Schmidt said.
At the time of the first moon landing, the average age of NASA engineers was 26 years old; today the average age is 50. With fewer and fewer students deciding to major in science and mathematics, America's edge in technological innovation may be slipping. And the need for scientific thinkers can't be understated if the United States hopes to be the home to the next Internet revolution. "For more than 200 years, this country has been the birthplace of major technological triumphs that have revolutionized societies and cultures," said FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) founder Dean Kamen in a CNN commentary. "However, these phenomenal successes will become distant memories unless America can re-ignite kids' passions for science and inventing."
The future isn't what it used to be, and great ideas require great science. Not everyone is Steve Jobs, but anyone has the potential to be an engineer at Apple. With proper education and motivation, maybe we can unearth the person who finds a cure for cancer, or at least a doctor to help treat it. Inquisitive and scientific minds are still being created, but without the proper tools they might never be molded. As questions of sustainable energy and global warming face the world, it will be up to today's children to be tomorrow's problem solvers.
What do you think? Why aren't America's youth interested in becoming scientists or mathematicians? How can we make science interesting again? Add your comments below or on our Facebook page.
