I am hoping to head to the Olympic peninsula this year to shoot some birds. I have never hunted for sea ducks and I want to get the full experience (floating blind, skull boat, whatever cool stuff you can do). I am looking for recommendations for guides in the area and what time of year to go. The main birds I am after are harlequins, oldsquaws, and a barrows. All these will go on the wall so decent plumage is a must.
If you have any experience in this area let me know! Not looking to travel too far from this area because I have family living in port ludlow.

How do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. They're more spontaneous, more intense, more complex, or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show sham emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others' suffering. They live to dominate and thrill to win.
The fact is, we all almost certainly know at least one or more sociopaths already. Part of the urgency in reading The Sociopath Next Door is the moment when we suddenly recognize that someone we know, someone we worked for, or were involved with, or voted for, is a sociopath. But what do we do with that knowledge? To arm us against the sociopath, Dr. Stout teaches us to question authority, suspect flattery, and beware the pity play. Above all, she writes, when a sociopath is beckoning, do not join the game.
It is the ruthless versus the rest of us, and The Sociopath Next Door will show you how to recognize and defeat the devil you know.
©2005 Martha Stout; (P)2005 Tantor Media, Inc.
"Stout is a good writer and her exploration of sociopaths can be arresting." (Publishers Weekly)
"A remarkable philosophical examination of the phenomenon of sociopathy and its everyday manifestations....Stout's portraits make a striking impact and readers with unpleasant neighbors or colleagues may find themselves paying close attention to her sociopathic-behavior checklist and suggested coping strategies. Deeply thought-provoking and unexpectedly lyrical." (Kirkus)
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
"What an EDUCATION!"
Wish I had read this several years ago, might have saved myself and my family some pain. It explains a LOT. This, to me, is the best audio book on the subject, as the others deal almost exclusively with the criminal psychopaths. It is scary to me that our society encourages and in some cases applauds this type of behavior now, which is also addressed in Ms. Stout's book. The recent admission by Lance Armstrong that he lied over and over and felt no guilt whatsoever, about his use of performance enhancing drugs, is an example. He even sued those who accused him of it. As I watched that interview on television, the lack of remorse on his face, so evident, I was reminded again of this book. Nothing is EVER their fault. Sad. Sad.
"Gripping! A fascinating/scary look at human nature"
I debated on this one but gave it a shot, and I could barely break from it several hours later. This narrator does an excellent job of making this book as enticing as a suspenseful murder mystery. The material is excellent, and well arranged. The author uses sample cases to explain points and a finer understanding of details. She says 1 in 25 people are sociopaths, and then she describes them as they appear to themselves, to us, and their existence and effect on society as both the weirdo on the corner and the ruthless "successful" people in many walks of life that have left large marks on the history of humanity throughout time. Definitely worth the listen.
"Who do you know?"
This book is truly facinating! Well worth the money and time. Audio clarity is superb. This book gives the author's professional insight to the world of sociopaths and their lack of conscience. She does a great job of developing characters based on real patients to illustrate the various types of sociopaths. She suggests that there are more of them out there than we realize.
I found myself thinking about anyone and everyone I know, have known or work with. It's amazing what you will discover. The book makes a lot of sense with regard to why and how sociopaths operate, how to spot them, and what to do when you know you have one in your life. With 1 out of 25 people being a sociopath, you will be sure to find yourself in the company of one or more already.
PS... if you are wondering if YOU may be a sociopath, you are not. Listen to the book to find out why. Mind blowing information.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
Wow, did I love this book. It was well written and well narrated. Not really at all technical, per se, it uses real life stories to illustrate the various characteristics of sociopaths. I have read in reviews that the reviewers saw the book as self-help. I would characterize it more as self-defense. Once upon a time, I had a colleague who was a complete scoundrel and who had hurt many people. I commented to one of my closest friends that what I could not understand was that I actually liked this scoundrel. My friend commented that amoral people often have that effect on us. This book helps us to identify those people. The book often reads more like one written by a science reporter than by one written by a social scientist. I am not complaining. On the contrary, it makes the book that much more readable. I think that the book helped me to understand the seemingly unfathomable why of what bad people sometimes do. Why are people sometimes totally insensitive to the feelings and needs of others. Why would one hurt another being for no apparent reason at all... not even for their own apparent personal gain.
Highly recommended.
"This is a very useful book"
I just bought the Audible version of this book after reading the hardcover book. This book is worth reading again! If you have ever been unlucky enough to have been involved with someone (authority figure, work colleague, child, marriage partner, etc.) who is a sociopath you'll need to read this book to help you understand what is happening, has happened and why.
It is particularly chilling and terrifying to see what is happening globally right now. When you read about the way "a lovable & charming" sociopath operates and what motivates him, you can better understand why we find ourselves in such an inexplicable, polarized and hateful mess both at home and abroad.
Knowlege is power and this book can empower us all - if we read it. Another illuminating must-read book on this subject is "Without Conscience, The Psychopaths Among Us" by Hare.
"Helped me understand troublemakers in my life."
A May 15, 2009 listener review says, "her tome quickly degenerates into a not-too-subtly veiled commentary on conservatism, Bush and the War on Terror (all quite sociopathic, apparently)."
Don't let this stop you from buying this book. I was still listening for this "not-too-subtle" commentary when the book was ending. The best guess I can come up with to explain where this slant was heard by the reviewer is the part of the book where Dr. Stout explains the usefulness of a sociopathic mind in a soldier in combat. This is true whether the battle is lead under a conservative or liberal government.
Don't read too much into your friends, family, co-workers, or acquaintances after finishing this book. After a second time through the book, I have a better understanding of what the Doctor writes and have removed some people from my mental list of possibles, but still have a former co-worker and (sadly) and sibling who still fit the bill.
I hope I'm wrong about one.
"Good but a bit off-topic"
First, let me say there is a lot of good and interesting information in this book. I learned a lot of things about sociopathy from the author. That said, I have a few bones to pick.
The author goes off-topic. She does not just go a little off-topic, either, she starts rambling into areas that have absolutely nothing to do with her topic, much less with her thesis for the book. It almost seems as if she ran out of material and just started spening time adding filler to make the book a little bigger.
Also, it's hard to identify with any people in her stories knowing they are composite. Am I supposed to believe there were no examples of real sociopaths that would provide the examples she needs? If not, it kind of invalidates her points.
I gave the book three stars, but it easily could have been a much better book with some better editing, more succinct writing, and real examples.
I will add that Shelly Frasier did an excellent job of doing the narration, thouh.
"Lightbulb Moment!"
This book was a great help to my family. If you have had dealings with a sociopath, and chances are, you have, you will be blown away by the similarities between your experiences and the composite examples from Dr Stout. Get ready for the goose bumps.

"Started strong...ended weak"
This started out pretty interestingly, although I thought her definition of what "conscience" influences seemed a little expansive...and I discovered why by the last third of this. She has far too few clinical examples, and then she devolves into why a Buddhist/Hindu global consciousness is the answer to sociopathy... Wow... Not interesting at all, not scientific and not well supported.
For instance, one of her early examples was that in traditional Inuit (if I recall correctly) society, which is about as communal as you can get, they pitched people like this off a cliff - THAT was their cure and treatment for sociopaths. Yet, somehow when she discusses that in east Asia the rates of documented sociopathy are low, it is not really considered that it might be attributable to something other "they have an ingrained communal, group consciousness"...like in the Inuit society...where sociopaths seemingly occured and where their solution was to pitch them off a cliff... Might these societies in Asia, at least socially, pitch sociopaths off a cliff? Well, that would be up to another author to examine, because this author is too busy using it as an open door to go on and on about the Buddhist or Hindu worldview. I felt like this book was a bit of a bait and switch.
The author was kind of like the person you meet at a party that initially sounds pretty interesting and intelligent, until you realize they think 9/11 was planned by Israel and the CIA...or that the last four presidents have been Reptile people... What few examples of her actual clinical experience there are in this book were very interesting and thought provoking...but trust me, there were very few of them.
"Empower yourself"
I found this book empowering, if only because it made me realize that some of the cruel behaviors I occasionally observed in my workplace could be the symptoms of sociopathy. Sometimes people I deal with behave in such entirely disgusting ways that I feel baffled that a member of the human race could act as they do. But then I assume I just overacting or misunderstanding the situation. Listening to this book allowed me to accepted the possibility that THEY are the insane ones, not me.

The Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams concluded the regular season with a sweep of SUNY Fredonia at the Steele Hall Natatorium on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffin men dominated the host Blue Devils, 140-83, including first-place performances. In the women's race, the Griff women escaped with a 127-116 victory over SUNY Fredonia.
"Our teams showed great progress in all aspects of their races," said head coach Scott Vanderzell. "The men had a very strong showing in their final dual of the season. Battling in every race and on the boards, the women pulled out a close meet through team work and tremendous compete in events."
The Golden Griffin men swept the 200-yard medley relay race to open Saturday's action. The team of freshman Garrett Graesser, sophomore Nick Sereday, and seniors Tyler Carver and Matt Moessinger swam to a first-place finish (1:37.61) followed by the team of senior Mike Disco, and sophomores Tyler Evans, Sean Stegemoller and Shane Donovan in second (1:41.37).
In the first individual race of the afternoon, the Griffs swept the 1000-yard freestyle. Freshman Spencer Bray (9:51.49), junior Corey Petrie (10:18.88), and senior Robby Novak (10:28.16) occupied the top-three spots respectively. Later in the day, Bray would swim to a first-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke (1:58.80).
The duo of sophomore Sean Wurster (1:47.29) and sophomore Jake Pisano (1:49.41) captured first- and second-place finishes. Pisano also recorded a second-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle (5:00.53).
Senior Shawn Parkhurst touched first in both the 50-yard freestyle (22.30) and 500-yard freestyle (4:43.66).
After missing the first half of the season, senior Matt Moessinger secured his first top-finish of the season in the 200-yard butterfly (2:00.75). Sophomore Sam Hansen followed behind Moessinger in second with a time of 2:06.95.
Including a strong performance in the medley relay to open the day, Sereday also placed first in the 100-yard freestyle (49.27).
The group of Bray (1:58.80), Evans (2:04.03), junior Andrew Edbauer (2:05.28), and Graesser (2:06.55) dominated the 200-yard backstroke, finishing in the top-four slots.
On the diving boards, sophomore Eddie Quarantillo was the lone Griff to capture a top-three finish in both the 1-meter and 3-meter events. The sophomore snagged the top spot in the 1-meter event with a score of 276.05.
After Fredonia State swam to a first-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay, junior Anna Schena (10:59.13) and Leah Villari (11:12.86) finished one-two in the 1000-yard freestyle to give the Griffs the lead.
Sophomore Marissa Oakey touched ahead of two Fredonia State swimmers in the 200-yard freestyle (1:58.57) to take the event. In addition, Oakey finished first in the 500-yard freestyle (5:17.98).
In the closet race of the day, junior Kelli Graber and Clare Battaglia finished in the top two slots of the 50-yard freestyle. The race between the two Griffs for first was separated by three-tenths of a second with Graber in first (25.79) and Battaglia (25.81). Battaglia recorded her first top-finish of the day in the 200-yard backstroke (2:12.39), her 17th first-place finish of the season.
Schena (2:16.22), freshman Alicia Wheeler (2:20.02), and sophomore Sara Nungesser (2:24.30) swept the 200-yard butterfly, respectively.
In diving, freshman Audrey Mulhisen broke her own school record in the 3-meter event with a score of 259.40. The freshman previously set the record (257.55) in the team's dual against SUNY Geneseo on Dec. 8.
The Griffs secured their dual win in the final event of the day, the 400-yard freestyle relay. The team of Battaglia, sophomore Erika Tozser, Graber, and Oakey grabbed a first-place finish with both Blue Devil squads touching next.
The Blue and Gold will now focus their preparation on the MAAC Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships to be held Feb. 14-16 at the ECC Burt Flickinger Center in downtown Buffalo.

Rhinolophus Blasii
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is a Rhinolophus blasii from Mount Mabu in northern Mozambique. We spent 13 nights sampling in a remarkably intact montane rain forest. Although capture success was low, we recorded a very diverse yet even community of bats in this forest. In areas of West Africa, a similar pattern was observed in intact wild habitat: low levels of abundance but a highly diverse community.
About the Project
NGS/Waitt grantee Michael Curran and his team are documenting how Mozambique and Malawi forests are essential to their local, large bat communities. Using mist nets, canopy nets, harp traps and acoustic monitoring (recording ultrasonic bat calls using a bat detector), Curran has discovered that these forests support a very large proportion of the region's bat diversity within a very small geographic area. Visiting eight sites across three mountains in Mozambique and Malawi, he and his team captured 245 bats representing about 27 species. More about the African Bat Biodiversity Project
Rhinolophus Blasii
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is one of the last captures from a busy night sampling near a hydroelectric dam in the heart of a forested gorge on Mount Mulanje in Malawi. This species of horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus blasii, was very common, making up roughly 70 percent of all the individuals that we captured in and around this site.
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is a species of the genus Miniopterus, (long-fingered bats). A molecular study (including samples from our work) is showing that this particular family of bats appears to have endemic species to almost all the major mountain ranges of Africa. And yet they are almost indistinguishable based on external appearance. This represents such a large degree of "cryptic" diversity that one prominent researcher described the family as Africa's "cichlid fish of the skies."
Rhinolophus Simulator
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is another species of horseshoe bat called Rhinolophus simulator. Although very similar in size and general appearance to R. blasii, the horseshoe (nasal) structure differs and it calls at a completely different echolocation frequency. Interestingly, we observed that on Mount Mulanje, one species was common, while the other was rare; whereas in lowland forests, it was the other way around. This may be due to competition for feeding niches, roosting sites, or differences in life history traits. Although this individual is colored a rusty orange, there is a separate form of the same species that is a dull brown.
Myotis Tricolor
Photograph by Michael Curran
This is Myotis tricolor, a relatively common savanna species that is widespread across Africa. Its name refers to the three colors present on each hair—a dark base leads to a cream-colored middle and terminates in a beautiful rusty orange. The open mouth nicely shows two glands in the cheeks, behind the rows of teeth. In other species, males have been observed marking territorial areas of a cave wall by rubbing these glands against the surface.
Kerivoula Lanosa
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is a fully grown woolly bat, Kerivoula lanosa. Weighing only 4 to 5 grams, they are specialists in dense forest environments. In Australia, members of this genus were found to be feeding almost exclusively on spiders that are gleaned from webs hanging over small forest paths or between the foliage. The common name of the genus refers to their elegant fur, which in this species is grizzled with long white hairs.
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is another species of the genus Miniopterus (long-fingered bats). This is a separate species to the darker Miniopterus shown previously, and the form is generally larger, with lighter fur.
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is a third species of the genus Miniopterus. While a similar size to the first, the skull length is slightly greater and the pelage is a rich dark brown, rather than dark grey. We captured this individual while sampling the standing forests of Mulanje cedar, an endemic tree that acts as the emblem and namesake of this mountain. Unfortunately, the tree is on the verge of extinction as illegal logging of the timber continues and a planned bauxite mining project will see large tracts of remaining forest destroyed.
Myotis Welwitschii
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is a very rare species called Myotis welwitschii. Known from only scattered few records across the continent, this catch was a fabulous record. The species is thought to have a paramontane distribution—i.e., it is found associated to, but not restricted to, mountain environments. It is possible that they migrate altitudinally with season. The coloring on the wings is a stark red, pockmarked with black spots and blotches.
Rhinolophus Simulator
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is another Rhinolophus simulator captured in lowland forest. This shares the same coloration as the other.
Rhinolophus Clivosus
Photograph by Michael Curran and Mirjam Kopp
This is Rhinolophus clivosus, a larger species than both R. blasii and R. simulator. Generally widespread and common, this species is a generalist feeding in more open areas and wooded savannas. There are many recognized subspecies across its range, and it is likely that some of these represent distinct species.

Or is there a really good pattern out there?
Please help.
Or is there a really good pattern out there?
Please help.
Yours looks pretty good. Who made yours?
I'm assuming you mean ESB for your new costume.
RA makes a great one but sometimes the color might seem a little off.
thanks guys.
Yep i'ts for the ESB suit and I'm also redoing my Jango jumpsuit I really want cotton. My jango is made of 70% poly and 30% cotton.
You could always send in your own material to RA, so you'd know exactly what you're getting.
Seeker, I would suggest buying your own material and sending it to a reliable seamsstress in your area. That way you can keep track of the progress whenever you want and make sure it is as accurate as possible.
Mine is still in the works and my final fitting is next week. It looks great so far, I will post pictures before and after diying it when its finished.
I would say RA also..
I love mine also. Good luck with it.
I love mine. If you can find the right materials, RA makes them great.
If you decide to send RA your material, make sure to wash it first, maybe even a couple of times. Especially with 100%cotton, you'll want to wash it first, as it will shrink a bit.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I'll keep you guys posted with my decisions and what I did.
personally, i would say my aunt or my grandma...they can sew anything...lol
I have his and the color/material is off. I would supply ur own material if i where you, if my memory serves me correct tk-409 does one....not positive though, might want to shoot him PMBaddblood said:
RA stuff is pretty good minus the color/material.
I recently purchased a bobamaker suit. He did a bang up job weathering it for me, and the color seems pretty close. I like it.

Nico Yennaris admits that being struck down by glandular fever made him appreciate the importance of taking his opportunities.
The 19-year-old made a big impression when handed his chance in the first team last season, before moving on loan to Notts County in April to continue his education.
However, after two games the midfielder started to feel the effects of the illness that would prematurely end his spell at Meadow Lane.
"I was feeling really run down. I had no energy and didn't feel at all well. The Notts County doctor sent me back to Arsenal for blood tests. It was discovered I had glandular fever," Yennaris told the Official Matchday Programme.
"The Arsenal doctors and physios ordered bed rest and for me not to hurry back. I was so disappointed because I was hoping to play at least seven games for Notts County. I was also upset because it meant I would miss playing for England at the Under-19 European Championship in Estonia.
"In any event, I listened to them and rested as much as I could but in the back of my mind it felt like I was in a race against time to get back in time for pre-season. I did literally nothing but eat, drink and rest in April and May but I started to feel better in June and began some running."
After working hard in pre-season, Yennaris has started the campaign strongly and says recovering from glandular fever has made him more determined than ever to succeed.
"I know players have struggled for a lot longer with glandular fever, so I feel lucky. But at the same time it has made me realise how fragile a career in football can be," he said.
"Injury or illness can cut short anyone's future and so it has re-emphasised to me how important every second of every training session or game is. I always give everything, but what I have been through is an additional incentive."

Delta Opposes Mandatory Outfitting in Saskatchewan
WINNIPEG, Manitoba—Delta Waterfowl has come out in opposition to a proposal by the Saskatchewan Outfitters Association that would require non-residents to utilize a licensed guide or host while hunting in the province.
"Delta Waterfowl sees this move as a threat to Saskatchewan's hunting heritage," says Delta's Vice President of Policy for Prairie Canada Robert D. Sopuck. "Mandatory outfitting for non-resident hunters would not only create a monopoly situation for the favored few who are outfitters, but would jeopardize access to hunting lands for resident and non-resident waterfowl hunters alike.
"We understand there's a role and a need for outfitters," Sopuck added. "Some folks could not access hunting in Canada without them. However, the SOA's proposal is not a balanced solution. The needs of freelance hunters from the United States, outfitters and Canadian residents must be equally and fairly considered."
In February of 2005, the outfitters association published a paper entitled "Mandatory Bird Outfitting" in which it proposed that non-residents would be required to hunt with either a paid guide or be accompanied by an unpaid hunter-host. Hunter-hosts would be residents who could accompany two hunters for six days every second year, and would not be allowed to charge for the hunt and could not carry a gun.
The paper portrayed illegal outfitting as a major problem on the prairies, a contention that was disputed by Dr. Robert Bailey, Delta's Vice President of Policy for Canada. Says Dr. Bailey, "The outfitters have no factual, third-party information to support their claim of illegal outfitting, or to show how widespread the practice may be."
Sopuck says Delta opposed a similar proposal by the Manitoba Lodges and Outfitters Association, which was rejected by the Manitoba government, and continues to oppose a similar proposal by the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society. "We commend Manitoba for its foresight, and encourage Saskatchewan and Alberta to follow suit," Sopuck said.
Sopuck and Bailey agreed the economies of rural communities across the province would be hard-hit by the loss of income from "freelance" resident and non-resident hunters, despite SOA claims to the contrary.
Darrell Crabbe, Executive Director of the 25,000-member Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, concurred, saying, "It is indeed ironic that the outfitters are using an economic argument for their proposal when studies have shown that the contribution to the Saskatchewan economy by resident hunters and non-resident, non-guided hunters is already very significant. The SOA proposal puts that at risk.
"The outfitters' proposal represents the slippery slope whereby hunting could be priced out of the reach of the average Saskatchewan resident," says Crabbe.

Should Psychiatrists See Patients for Psychotherapy?
The trend is for psychiatrists to see patients for psychiatric evaluation, treatment with medications, and a medicalized version of psychiatric care, while parceling out psychotherapy to non-MD psychotherapists-- social workers, psychologists, licensed clinical counselors, nurse therapists, pastoral counselors (and anyone else who wants to listen...a bartender or two, perhaps the hair stylist).
Those readers who've been following Shrink Rap for a while know that I work in two types of outpatient settings: a community mental health center where I see people to treat their mental illnesses with medications, and a private psychotherapy practice where I use medications but I also provide psychotherapy to patients who want and need it. ClinkShrink sees patients in forensic settings (name your jail) and she sees a remarkably high volume of patients. She deals exclusively with medical issues-- patients may say or hear things that impact them positively, but the formal setting of therapy to talk, as a process over time, to resolve specific issues, to deal with past events, and to alter patterns of behavior, is not what she does. Roy has worked in many settings, but his current hat is as a Consultation-Liason psychiatrist in a large community hospital-- he mostly evaluates patients and makes treatment recommendations, but he doesn't see outpatients over long periods of time. He used to do that.
Psychiatrists (in the old days) used to see people for psychotherapy routinely, especially before medications were available. I think I was finished with medical school before I even knew that social workers saw clients for psychotherapy. I thought they met with families, worked for agencies, helped with disposition and obtaining benefits, and had a lot to do with foster children and protective services. I believed psychotherapy was the exclusive domain of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. I simply didn't know.
I've talked here before about why I think, in a totally ideal world, that it's best for patients to see one person for psychotherapy and medications: one stop shopping is more convenient, psychiatric illnesses aren't 'explained' away without the offer of medications, the doc really gets to know the patient and learns to differentiate better what is, and what is not, a symptom of illness or medication side effects, and there isn't a set-up for patients who are prone to dividing their care-takers into good guys and bad guys.
The reality of the world is that psychiatrists are the most expensive mental health professionals, and in the shortest demand. They are more expensive to train, they often finish school heavily in debt, and there aren't enough to go around. And psychiatric residency programs, for the most part, don't emphasize psychotherapy training-- the resident has to pursue it. A psychiatry resident was recently telling me about a patient who wanted insight-oriented psychotherapy and the resident said, "We just don't have time in residency to do that." For those who know they want to pursue a career in research, spending a lot of time learning to do psychotherapy may not be a wise use of limited time. Some people might go as far to say that it's wrong to have psychiatrists doing psychotherapy, especially in shortage regions where there aren't enough shrinks to go around--- a lot more patients can be seen for quick med checks than for 4 times/week psychoanalysis (-- I'm not a psychoanalyst, by the way).
I believe that people should do what suits them, given the realistic constraints of their environment. I'm even okay with the psychiatrist beauty queen. With regard to psychiatrists doing psychotherapy: I like the work and there seems to be a demand for it. I also work in a clinic where the option does not exist to do this kind of work, but it does afford me the opportunity to see a different population of patients and to work as part of a team.
(Roy made me proof read this; my first draft was a disaster.)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I just found the t shirt you're talking about. Nope not the same as my dogs "do not pet" training vest. Lol!
T shirt, dog and gun...dang that's one dangerous beach you got there.
|No beach photos?!
Errr...well....umm...the shirt, O.K. I used a vest on my dog to the same effect.
Other dogs on a dog friendly beach, of all flavors and temperament, to be expected it's a sand filled dog park.
Having to tote a gun, wear a warning shirt, worry about the inevitable mouthy pitties and little yappers, well that's all just too stressful for a day at the beach for little ole me.
Glad you had a good time.
|We aren't allowed CC here. Political rant left unsaid, lol. But all my beach stories are pretty much the same: dog runs off-leash and swims until exhaustion and then we go home. I live near a river now, so it's currently all riverside rather than beach stories. But it's still the same: have fun and go home. There isn't much drama here, expect for the charging boxer last summer - that hardly counts, when you think of how many times we've been down there, what's one single incident? That's life.
|Oisin's Aoire
|I am jealous you can just strap on your sidearm , and I want to know what this shirt says
Sounds typical for any open area full of people and dogs, good for you knowing to get your SA, would have been my first move as well
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Sounds like a typical day at the beach for this time of year. I happen to enjoy the cold windy weather at the beach better than summer. There are hardly any people and we do all come home exhausted from being out in the elements. Where I live, the warm weather brings too many tourists, not a fun time.
I'm just sorry you had a long drive and have the day end on a sour note with the pits and puppies. Unless we know a pitbull well, like one of our neighbors we too would leave. After reading about what to do in a dog fight with a pitbull by the ASPCA, we just won't take these kind of chances. You need a wedge type tool to stick in their mouth and who carries one of those?
Sounds like your dog handled the other dogs you encountered well. We always need to be careful when we are sitting down, especially at the beach. Our dog gets very protective when we sit, but when we are moving and walking she's fine. Probably the best times at the beach for us is sunrise/sunset or the few times we've arranged to meet up with other GSD owners and during these times my GSD behaves really well, all of them do and its beautiful to watch them. Hope your next visit is better!
Next time post photos along with a story, I love to see other areas of the country.
A Day at the Beach
From the title, I'll bet some or many of you were expecting to see pictures of a beautiful GSD at the beach, weren't you? Nope. I just want to relate several things about our trip yesterday and hope for comments, even from some of the hypercritical advanced members who cause so much consternation on this board.
We wanted to see the beach for the first time this year as the wind forecast seemed to suggest it would be reasonably calm and the wife wanted to take the dog. We should have known better. The March April period always seems to make fools of weathermen and it was blowing like a tropical storm almost when we got there.
We had Zeus (19 mos.) with us and he's grown into one indisputably beautiful animal. He endures the 1.5 hour drive pretty well as soon as he realized we weren't headed directly to the park where we often walk him for hours and, instead, going to places unknown.
But as soon as we got there he was pretty raucous, wanted out in the most desperate way and was bit uneasy on the leash. We decided to lock up the car and walk him first while tossing a ball or a Frisbee to take some of his energy out of him. We didn't want to have to deal with a rowdy dog while we tried to erect our sun shelter in the stiff wind.
It was about 11 a.m. on a Sunday and the beach was only sparsely attended by other visitors and vehicular traffic was light. So, we could walk Zeus a bit to get by an encampment and the have plenty of space to throw a toy with him. It worked out well but for the fact that Zeus on only his second visit to the beach wanted to drink the salt water.
Some years ago I took a black lab we owned to the beach and let him roam a bit before realizing that he'd drunk a lot of salt water. I put him in the folding crate we'd brought to stop it and gave him fresh water which he too drank profusely (due to his previous consumption of salt water, I surmised). Then we set up camp for the night, put a mosquito net over his crate and went to bet.
The next morning he was in pretty bad shape and was having trouble urinating and seemed in pain. It took several days back at home for him to return to normal. So, we learned our less and applied to Zeus - NO DRINKING SALT WATER, PERIOD.
We did encounter several other dogs on our walk, mostly they were small and leashed and most of the owners who saw Zeus coming quietly and without ceremony moved their dogs into their tent, onto the bed of their truck or to the other side of their vehicle so the dogs didn't interact.
Zeus is not allowed to be dog-reactive so all went well even though some of the other dogs ultimately spied Zeus and raised a bit of a ruckus. We don't hold it against other dogs. They've just doing what dogs would ordinarily do if not trained. We just walk on by and admonish Zeus with an occasional "easy".
I also wore the T-shirt I've shown on this board (to the great revulsion of some of the more knee-jerk members of the board, especially the "titled" aristocratic, busy-body members) which warned folks away from our dog. One could see a visible expression of wariness on the part of the dog-owners as we approached and a visible expression of relief when we had passed by the first time and then again on the return trip.
I don't care what anyone here says, that T-shirt helps avoid dog-on-dog confrontations. I'll wear it regularly when my Zeus is expected to be near unfamiliar dogs. It works as designed.
Several people were taken with Zeus' conformation and good looks. One young woman, perhaps in her late teens, even on sight of Zeus loudly exclaimed, "Wow, that's the most beautiful dog I've ever seen in my entire life." I straighten up and strutted proudly until the wife reminded me that there was a high probability that such a young woman said similar things to a scrawny, pimple-faced and pot-marked human she called "my boyfriend". Oh, well.
When Zeus was quite young I used a fishing pole and a cork in the same way some use a flirt pole (I'd not heard of that at the time) to increase his prey drive. So, when we tried to fish in the surf he went crazy crying and straining at the leash.
Now, I wish I'd never taught him that.
We saw only one problem act on the beach with dogs. About two or three cars down a family, a large drunken family, seemed to have two or three puppies on the beach unleashed. But there was persistent big-dog barking from somewhere amongst them.
One of the pups seemed like a GSD so I walked down there to see him. He was but six weeks old and they said they'd had him since he was 5 weeks old and had just stopped bottle feeding him. Then I saw two pit-bulls in a single crate barking their heads off.
Concerned at the viciousness of the pits, seeing the puppies at large and fearing they'd let the pits out I returned to my camp, put on my sidearm and then proceeded to shut the camp down and leave. Those two in a pack would have been very bad trouble for my Zeus.
In the end, the wind and my concern for the pits drove us off the beach and back on the road home. Zeus was exhausted from a day in the sun and slept the whole way back.
Next year we need to wait until May, I think, to try the beach scene.
Got any beach stories?

If you watched the Jazz-Bulls game closely Friday night, you saw a team capable of reaching the conference finals.
It wasn't Utah.
On the surface, the Bulls' 93-89 victory was neither flashy nor overpowering. Given the circumstances, however, it was incredibly professional.
Concluding a six-game road trip at altitude without its two best point guards, Chicago rallied in the final five minutes and beat the Jazz.
Utah played well, except for a late stretch on offense when the Bulls dared someone other than Al Jefferson to beat them and nobody could.
The Jazz defended better than they have in weeks, and Jefferson's season-high 32 points put them in position to win.
The Bulls simply didn't allow it and improved their record to 30-20.
That's hardly Jordan-like, but considering the Bulls have played this season without 2011 MVP Derrick Rose, they are perfectly positioned to make a run in the East when he returns in the next few weeks.
Rose was injured during last year's playoffs. His nine-month recovery time should have ruined everything for Chicago.
Obviously, it did not.
"You are never going to replace a guy like Derrick individually," said coach Tom Thibodeau. "So we understood it would have to be done collectively."
Said Carlos Boozer: "We have a team full of guys that grind. We play for each other. We're all good dudes. We all want to win. We put that above everything else. And we are all committed to each other."
Take the win over Utah.
With Kirk Hinrich and Rose sidelined, Nate Robinson stepped up. He finished with 18 points, nine assists and four rebounds in 46 minutes.
When Hinrich and Rose are healthy, Robinson hardly plays.
"… We have to have discipline," Thibodeau said. "Whoever has to go in there, they have to go in and do their job. When we have discipline when we don't have shortcuts we'll be in position to win. When we take shortcuts, the results are not going to be good."
Led by All-Stars Luol Deng and Joakim Noah and a rejuvenated Boozer, the Bulls are fourth in the East. But the Utah win moved them within one-half game of Indiana and three of the up-and-down Knicks.
When Rose returns and if he can quickly regain his MVP form Chicago could finish as high as second in the East. That, in turn, could translate into a conference final against LeBron James and Miami.
Boozer knows it.
"At the end of the day, we've been short-handed every game," he said. "Without [Rose], we have to play extra hard to have a chance to win. We've accepted that. But with him, our team goes from here to here."
Boozer placed his flattened palms at chest level and suddenly raised them over his head.
"With him, man, it's leaps and bounds for us," he said. "With him, we're more talented than most teams."
June awaits.

User:Zzo38/Proposal for more-notation
From HaskellWiki
< User:Zzo38
This document is proposal for more-notation in Haskell.
1 Syntax
Anywhere that a more-notation is allowed (see Uses), you can use the syntax:
- more [(name_of_enumeration)] more_name {parameters}
- name_of_enumeration: A name of any type which is an enumeration. It can be another one using more-notation, but it must be able to fully determine it before this more-notation can be fully determined.
- more_name: A capitalized name. It uses the same namespace as constructors, so you are not allowed to have a constructor of the same name (although it is OK to have types of the that name).
- parameters: Optional lowercased names. These names are in local scope, and may already exist in this scope, although they do not have to.
A more-declaration is a module-level declaration of this syntax:
- [ numeric_literal | (enumeration_constructor) ] more_name {parameters} = contents { | contents } ;

Udated build-up pics below
Here's my newly created braided leather bolo belt. Not to sure about the back closure, but it's screen accurate so oh well. Used 21 braids, but I'll probably be getting rid of two of them when I have time. I used the 6mm bolo from MJ Trim and the belt's width is just shy of 5.25".
The entire project took me the better part of the day, and I only had one setback.
Enjoy, and I took build-up pics if there's an interest.

It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.
Freddie Ljungberg made a habit of scoring against Manchester United during his nine-year tenure at the club, so perhaps it's unsurprising that at least one should crop up in our countdown.
This strike is not only notable for its quality but for its importance to Arsenal's 2001/02 title-winning campaign too.
The Gunners had started the season in rampant fashion but by the time the Red Devils visited Highbury in November, Arsène Wenger's side were without a win in four Premier League games. Man United, on the other hand, were looking ominous.
Up next×
Indeed the visitors opened the scoring through Paul Scholes after only 14 minutes however, within three minutes of the restart, Ljungberg struck.
Robert Pires intercepted Gary Neville's slack pass a good 50 yards from goal and hurtled towards the area. As Kanu drew the two Manchester United central defenders into the middle, the Frenchman picked out Ljungberg creeping in down the right-hand side.
The flame-haired Swede took one touch with his right before gently prodding an arching effort over Fabian Barthez from the edge of the area.
Later, the French goalkeeper would make two memorable mistakes to hand the Gunners a 3-1 victory. But it was Ljungberg's superb equaliser that provided Arsenal's platform.

I'm not normally one to do complaining-about-apple-news-because-its-apple thing, but come on guys, a round up of incredibly vague rumors for a product that doesn't exist and has not even been hinted at by the manufacturer?
If you know something and are under an NDA then leave it till you can at least hint that you know. This sort of vaporcopy article just makes TR look bad.
I know that the design would look really great if it comes out mini, but wouldn't having an I phone be better?
Russell - I am assuming you read the article, therefore saw the adverts. Job done as far as TR is concerned
We do know where you're coming from but ultimately if we're to be a news source for the latest happenings in the world of tech then we need to cover rumour articles too - after all, it's what people are searching for. This just makes for an easy one-stop solution for people to find out everything we've heard so far on the iPad mini. We try to be as open and honest about this as possible and feel our approach isn't over the top. You'll note the article doesn't misleadingly have the word review plastered all over it, for instance.
I know what you're trying to imply here but you've actually missed the point. If the article was read in something like its entirety then absolutely we can be justified in publishing it. After all, there's no pretence or misdirection here - the article clearly states what it is. The cynical view would be that we don't even care about someone reading it but rather just that they click the link and give us a page view. But by providing considered and original content such as the above, we like to think we aren't.
In response to Ed's response to rushforthk, I disagree. The article headline in google reader read: "iPad Mini Tablet Review". I've noticed a lot of these linkbait style headlines over the past few months and will soon be removing TR from my rss feeds. The signal to noise rato has gone very low around here lately.
Why do you keep implying Apple products are particularly fragile and prone to damage? They use toughened glass (which is really a kind of ceramic) and are at least as tough as any other smartphone on the market and the aluminium cases are certainly stronger than any of the plastic rivals made in the Far East. I have dropped my iPhone more times than I care to remember on tile, concrete and wood floors. The other day I left it my bed and forgot it was there and when I pulled the covers back my iPhone 4 shot across the room and smashed into the metal frame of an exercise machine. There wasn't a scratch on it and it worked perfectly afterwards. There are many legitimate things to criticise Apple products for but build quality is not one of them. Almost every TR review now carries a snide remark about using glass and aluminium. It's beginning to sound like special pleading from someone who did something stupid and broke his device and has been sore about it ever since. Can you please tell us which rival makes an indestructible smart phone that doesn't use glass in its construction? Yes it will scratch or break if mistreated. But that's also true of furniture, cars and just about any consumer device ever made. In the future when we can buy products made out of weightless indestructible unobtanium you might have a point. For now it is just silly.
Unfortunately, that's a technical issue that's not too easy to remedy. We'll admit it doesn't look the best on the RSS. But c'mon, we still do full, in-depth reviews for the most part :)
Write for the end user TR, not the Google rankings... Really gone down hill in recent years! Very disapointed. Will also be removing from my RSS feeds!
I dunno about you guys but does this render the very recently released iPod Touch rather redundant all of a sudden because there's only £20 difference between that and the iPad mini? So unless we value the portability, double the storage and a sharper (albeit smaller) screen over the extra features, what's the point of the iPod Touch?
Always enjoy your reviews.. but in the PRO section for this ipad mini you put
Surprisingly affordable starting price ???????????
do a google search and that's one of the main sore points about this unit...
"Surprisingly affordable starting price" - is probably a relative comparison to the iPad 9.7" but fall short when comparing to the keenly fought 7+" tablet marketplace.
You say the iPad 2 had a screen pitch of 148ppi. This is wrong. It is exactly half the pitch of the Retina iPad, i.e. 132ppi, which means the iPad mini's 163ppi is 24% higher, or 38% less than that of the Retina iPad.
I stopped reading TR about a year ago because of all the rampant Apple fanboyism from the writers. For some reason I ended back at TR today and the first thing I saw was an Apple 9/10 review. See you in another year.
But the battery life is only 10 hours, it's really short as mobile device, already get iPad MINI Protective Leather Rotary Case With Belt Buckle, really cool ipad mini case
But if it was that good why not give it 9/10? In my opinion it IS that good.
"Whilst unlike Android or Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system Apple's iOS offering does not bring information such as emails or calendars to the fore through the use of interactive and customisable widgets, the app based UI that Apple introduced with the original iPhone is still a simplistic joy to use. With nothing more than a quick tap of the desired icon "
What I really don't understand is how apple is somehow allowed to be a special case for things like lack of widgets. Lets be clear here, in Android you don't have to use widgets. You can lay out your apps exactly how iOS does it, with a "quick tap of the desired icon". In this way, Android doesn't lose anything to iOS. On the other hand, in iOS you can't have widgets. The choice doesn't exist. Yet the lack of widgets in iOS is somehow presented as a good thing, a design choice, even a feature. If an Android handset came along and did the same thing it would get blasted for not allowing widgets. Why is iOS allowed to be a special case?
Agreed that was a little misleading as it was referring to comparative Apple products. We've removed that pro now, thanks for pointing it out.
I don't understand how something like this can be given such a high score when it falls down everywhere next to it's 7inch Rivals. People are buying 7inch tablets as they are comfortable to use with one hand, have high resolution screens that are good for text and are inexpensive.
That is the 7inch market surely?
In this Review you clearly say not comfortable to hold in 1 hand as it is wider than the others, you complain about the resolution when reading text and web pages and also the price versus it's Rivals yet stll it gets 9 out of 10?? You do not get headphones with it or even an adapter to connect it to anything you already own? As for how it feels and the design I was vey dissapointed, it's a small iPad that feels like it is a cheap copy of a premium apple device. After I had tried one in the shop I left dissapointed and thought apple had definetly missed the boat here. 9/10 did I read this review correctly?
"Certainly the most desirable 7-inch tablet on the market,(Why?) the iPad mini's £269 starting" price is considerably higher than the competition but for that outlay you get a device that, although not specs superior,(so it's more expensive?) is a far more enticing(to who, apple fanboi's?) option than much of what is already on the market. Can't believe after all of this it still gets a 9/10!!!!
Twice the price it should be and it looks surprisingly like the Samsung Tab2 7 inch but not as good; do I smell another court case?
The Nexus 7 gets slammed for:
Non-expandable memory
Native video support limited
But the iPad Mini's (and any other iPad's) lack of the same isn't even mentioned. You're mysteriously silent about it. Why is that?
I have been playing with the iPad mini and the Google Nexus 7 for about 3 days and both are very good but the Apple has way more function in the App dept. High performance means nothing when you do not have programs/apps to use the high performance. At that small of a size screen you are hard pressed to to see pixels and it looks more than good enough. I am going to get the iPad Mini. The only thing that these companies should offer on their tablets is expandable memory options.
The Ipad Mini will become a future Iphone where Siri will receive instructions via Bluetooth. You can keep the Mini in your briefcase, purse or coat pocket and have full function of the phone. Then you can pull it out, access maps, websites, photos, videos, even music while continuing to talk on the phone. The size of the mini coupled with the ability of a cell phone will revolutionize the industry. It will be that one step before your cell phone becomes your home computer that plugs into a cradle, connecting to a keyboard and monitor. One system for all. The more it does, the pricier it will get but worth it so that you don't have to carry a laptop, cell phone and Ipad around.
TR has been biased toward Apple products for a long long time. That's why.
One of the cons in this review should include non-expandable memory just like they pointed out on the Nexus 7. That is one example of a skewed review with an Apple bias..

This is the time before you have to make payments on your student loan. It begins after you graduate, leave school or drop below half-time status. NOTE: Not all loans have a grace period (see promissory note).
If you return to school during the grace period, depending on the loan provisions, you may be able to file for a deferment and receive your grace period upon completion of school.
The grace period must be used prior to a deferment for residency or internship.
Most lenders, including UTMB, report your account to a credit bureau as soon as you receive your loan. They update it with every disbursement, payment or missed payment. These lenders can be your best friend when you seek credit.
Other lenders only report your account when you miss a payment or fail to return a deferment form on time.
If you are denied credit on the basis of a credit report, you should request a copy of the report. The credit bureau must provide you a copy free of charge. If information has been reported incorrectly, you should contact the lender to have it corrected. Most commercial lenders use information provided by credit bureaus to make decisions to approve loans for cars, homes, etc.; so failure to make payments or file deferment forms on time could limit your ability to purchase these things in the future.
This is the right to delay payments on your student loan(s). On Federal Stafford, Health Professions, Loans to Disadvantaged Students, NDSL/Perkins and Primary Care Loans you are not charged interest during deferred periods, nor is the deferment time counted in the 10-year maximum repayment period. Interest does accrue in deferred status for Federal Unsubsidized Stafford, HEAL or PLUS/SLS, and is capitalized if you do not pay it. Deferments must be filed each semester for student status and annually fir internship or residency. It is your responsibility to request the forms, complete them and return them to your lender on time. Failure to return your deferment form at the proper time could result in late charges being due, your loan going into default and denial of your right to defer the loan. You must contact your lender in the event you do not complete your residency training.
This applies to situations in which you are willing but unable to make required loan repayments. Under forbearance, you may temporarily cease making required payments, make smaller monthly payments or have an extension in time for making payments. Lenders may require you to request forbearance in writing. Interest does accrue during forbearance on all types of loans. You may be required to pay the interest during the time of the forbearance. The time of forbearance does not extend the 10-year maximum repayment period.
An option available to the lender. The lender has the right to make the full amount of your loan due in full. Meaning they will no longer accept monthly payments. This usually occurs when you have defaulted on the loan.
Your lender will send you a disclosure statement/repayment schedule at least 60 days prior to the first payment due date. These forms will contain the amount borrowed, the interest rate, due date, and the amount of monthly payment.
PREPAYMENT: (early payments)
You may pay a loan prior to the start of the repayment schedule or make larger payments than required in your repayment schedule.
There is no penalty for early payments on any loan fund. Interest accrues on the outstanding balance monthly. The faster you pay your loan, the less interest you will pay.
If your loan is delinquent, it may be referred to a collection agency, which could charge from 33-1/3 percent to 50 percent of your balance, or more, according to your promissory note. The loan may also be referred to an attorney in which case a lawsuit might be filed. You may then be required to pay attorney fees and court costs.
According to the terms of your promissory note, the lender may assess a late charge and/or penalty charge if you fail to make an installment when due or file timely evidence of a deferment.
To avoid penalty and/or late charges, payments or forms for deferment in lieu of such payments must reach the lender on or before the due date of your scheduled installment.
Failure to repay your loan(s) constitutes default. If you are delinquent on repayment for 270 days, your loan may be placed in default. This can happen without your knowledge if your lenders cannot contact you, so always provide them with your current address. If the lender is reimbursed, then the guaranty agency and/or federal government (whichever agency paid your lender) now owns your loan. They will collect from you! Even bankruptcy will not shield you. Your loan must be repaid even if you did not finish school, did not graduate, do not get a job, or were not satisfied with your educational experience. A loan in default is subject to the following actions:
In order to repay a defaulted loan, you should contact the loan holder and ask what you can do. The lender probably will try to set up a manageable repayment schedule. If your payments are on time for a year, you may be eligible for rehabilitation. A lender can they buy your loan and you could reacquire the rights and privileges of a borrower in good standing.
A defaulted loan is considered rehabilitated if "the borrower of a loan made under this part who has defaulted on the loan" makes the required 12 payments. Rehabilitation is available to all defaulted borrowers with a loan made under the Federal Perkins Loan Program. If a borrower requests loan rehabilitation, the institution or its servicer must allow the borrower to rehabilitate his or her loan. The borrower may only rehabilitate a defaulted loan once. After the 12th payment has been made, the borrower is brought current and is no longer considered to be delinquent or in default.
Consequences of rehabilitating a defaulted loan of which the borrower should be advised include returning the borrower to regular repayment status, treating the first payment made under the twelve consecutive payments as the first payment in a new repayment period of up to 10 years, instructing any credit bureau to which the default was reported to remove the default from the borrower's credit history, and the re-establishment of the borrower's eligibility for Title IV student financial assistance.

Imperiled salmon and trout species are found throughout Portland. Fifteen fish species found in Portland are federally protected as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act.
Though they once were thriving, impacts from development such as loss of habitat, decreased water quality, and impassable culverts has led to declines in salmon populations over time. The city of Portland is playing an active role in collaborative regional efforts to restore fish and wildlife and improve water quality and watershed conditions.
Science, Fish and Wildlife Division staff lead endangered species recovery efforts citywide. Salmon are highly sensitive to all components of watershed health (hydrology, habitat, water quality, and biological communities). Health, abundance, and productivity of salmon is a reflection of many important urban watershed processes. They are an important barometer of how healthy our streams and rivers are.
The Water Bureau also has a habitat conservation program, focused exclusively on the Bull Run Watershed, that includes protections for salmon. Go to the invasive species management page for information about how Portland manages invasive plants and animals.

'Contracts signed before Thursday can be guaranteed only after the lockout ends, so any serious injury suffered before then could jeopardize future earnings. The NHL also won't be responsible for any medical bills incurred during the work stoppage. That's a major reason why Sabres winger Miroslav Satan would rather not play at all during the lockout.'

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Training Our Puppy (basic) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/)
- - Puppy not excited to do training. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/392138-puppy-not-excited-do-training.html)
Puppy not excited to do training.
I read an article and get motivated. I'm super excited to train my puppy these new tricks!
Did not walk him yet, and the weather is icky right now so not walking him today.
I'd expect him to be super hyper. I walk through my door and he's sleeping. It's fine, because he wakes up when he heard the door close!
I go downstairs to refill his water bowl in the kitchen and he slowly walks down, like sleepily.
It's hours from then (2:11pm now) and he's still so calm!!! He's sleeping at this moment!
He is 6 months old and knows a few commands: sit, paw, bite (bites the air where I direct him), up (jump, most often jump on me), and sort-of down (I move my hand towards me as I do "paw" and he goes into down position). Also he knows the command "speak" but almost never do it - he looks away when I do the command.
I have this medium sized chair that he can crawl through (He did it before) and wanted to teach him to go under, over, around, etc. I start by sitting opposite side from him, and call him over. He went to sleep and still sleeping as of right now. Is he depressed? :(
Nothing changed in schedule, or anything in the house. He's so extremely calm except when his brother is around. But I have tried training them while together - did not end well. They were too focused on chasing each other.
UPDATE: It's 11:19 pm right now and all day (except when playtime with brother) he was very, very calm. I also noticed that today I worked on my posture (shoulders back, stand up straight, chip up). Could this contribute to his pococurante expression and attitude today? I've read somewhere that if they know you can handle things then they are more content.
Also (forgive me if I ask too much, I am new to owning a dog) is 12 hours a day of contact with me enough for him (including sleeping near me - I sleep from 10 pm to 5 am). The other 12 hours are with his brother while I'm at school.
So when you are out all day, he is playing with your other dog?
That would explain it ;) It sounds to me like he is getting all his exercise and social time during the day with your other dog. So when you come home he is tired and since he has had his fun all day, there might not be enough of a reason to have fun with you.
I would try separating him during the day for a while, so that he can interact with you and do some training in the evenings. Then maybe once a week, when you have a busier evening maybe, he can be left with your other dog during the day.
Hope this helps!
Thanks N Smith!
I will try to find some reasons for my dog to find me more fun than his brother... running around (outside) our house is all fun and games until he catches up (really quick) then jumps and bites me. That game never continues too long (doesn't get idea that every time he bites I stop). I'm not that much of a fun person so I'm going to find a way to separate them with little destruction
Make training fun. If your dog is smart training becomes boring. Just like kids at school.
The more my girl learns the harder I make her training. I always keep it challenging for her. So she doesn't get bored. My girl loves to please. She loves getting that deer meat at the end.
So I know she's game for whatever gets thrown at her.
If your dog is just confused. My girl started out that way when she was just a baby. Id try and she just couldn't figure it out. So I took snail steps with her. Now she's my hunting dog my fishing buddy a guardian at home. Always down for new things. Its the dedication you show first. Then you will see the dedication you recieve

If the lethargy is unusual for your pup, I'd consider a vet visit or maybe take his temp & then call the vet to see what they think. If his lack of interest/enthusiasm for training is typical, then the suggestions people have given are spot on. I'm just concerned that this is unusual behavior & he may not be feeling well.

too right, it's going to be wicked.
literally, no-one has done more to raise the profile of UKMMA than Alex Reid. seriously, trying to explain to people about MMA now is piss-easy. 'have you heard of that Alex Reid fella?' job done.
consistently over-matched and tough as shit, he's bloody good.
then you got Mr Giles, former bare-knuckle boxer ('which makes him harder than a coffin nail'), got the chat. got the aggressive lunacy. Here is a man who knows he can't keep up a crazy pace for the whole fight, but attacks holding nothing back from the opening seconds.
... and it's UK-1. Crazy, crazy sport, totally enthralling. hope it's mma gloves. wild.
I can't fucking wait, this is going to be awesome!

'"Brayden McNabb does that almost every game or every other game," Kootenay coach Kris Knoblauch said Sunday. "I've seen it so many times from him. It's just very unfortunate that it turned out the way it did."'

Sabres' prospect McNabb must sit and watch

Pirates CEO in it to win with Civic Center bond (Portland Daily Sun)
Amerks-Sabres relationship is worth second try
'The end of the Amerks-Sabres affiliation was an unfortunate close to a mutually beneficial relationship. But like an estranged couple that reunites, a little time and space apart appears to have helped each side realize what a good thing they had — and what could be again.'
Greece's Derek Whitmore believes in Buffalo Sabres, Rochester Amerks reunion
'"That's how it should be, the Sabres and Rochester should be together," he said on Wednesday afternoon. "The Sabres can have their scouting department and player development guys on the ice in Rochester two or three days a week and it's not going to cost them a fortune."
Sabres sign top defensive prospect
'"Brayden is a big kid with great offensive abilities, and he's continued to improve every year in Kootenay," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said. "His outstanding performance in the WHL playoffs was just another positive sign in his development, and we are thrilled to now have him under contract for the next three years."'
Amerks deal sounds like a good plan
'The affiliation between Buffalo and Rochester made sense for nearly three decades and makes sense now. Their relationship is an easy sell and created a broader fan base in both cities. The Amerks have teetered on instability since the Sabres dropped them three years ago. Reuniting them should make both franchises stronger.'
Sabres sign 2009 draft pick Brayden McNabb
'"Brayden is a big kid with great offensive abilities, and he's continued to improve every year in Kootenay," said Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier. "His outstanding performance in the WHL Playoffs was just another positive sign in his development, and we are thrilled to now have him under contract for the next three years."'
Buffalo Sabres appear closer to deal with Rochester Amerks
'Amerks owner Curt Styres deflected all questions about the potential sale, saying only that the Amerks "will be playing next season." When asked if he has sold the Amerks or was in serious negotiations to sell, Styres, from his home in Ohsweken, Ontario, repeated his original statement and added, "I hope the sun is shining in Rochester tomorrow."'
Sabres set to purchase AHL team
'Brian Petrovek, the Pirates' CEO/managing owner, declined to comment about the possible purchase by Buffalo, his team's NHL affiliate for the past three seasons, and what it would mean to the future of the Pirates. "We have a contractural relationship with the Buffalo Sabres," Petrovek said. "They know it. We know it. I really can't say more about it."'
Pirates in the market for a new affiliate?
'"The best way to characterize it is speculation is what it is. Chatter is what it is. I think (Sabres owner) Terry (Pegula) and (Sabres team president) Ted Black have done a good job getting themselves focused on the Buffalo business. I've got a three-year deal and that's what we have and that's what we stand behind. We will just have to continue to do our business on what we now know."'
Sabres' interest in Amerks intensifies
'The Sabres have had talks to purchase the Amerks, a source said Tuesday. The Amerks were the Sabres' minor-league club for 29 years, and they are without an NHL affiliate following the expiration of their contract with the Florida Panthers.'
AP Source: Sabres interested in AHL Rochester
'A person familiar with negotiations has told The Associated Press that the Buffalo Sabres have signed a nonbinding letter of intent to purchase the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.'
Sources: Pegula Close to Buying Amerks
'We're told that negotiations have intensified over the past couple of weeks, and that the deal has either reached, or is close to reaching its conclusion.'
Sabres, Amerks need to reunite
'The Sabres would benefit by building on an already strong fan base in the Rochester area. I know the team isn't starving for money, but I'm sure they'd save a few bucks by having players drive up the Thruway instead of flying on a plane from Maine when they are called up.'
Sabres increase season ticket prices 5 percent
'This year's season-ticket package features 42 games instead of the standard 41. The Sabres will host 40 regular-season games, one less than usual because they will open the season in Europe. The other two games in the package are preseason contests, which had been excluded. They are in the season-ticket plan at a discounted rate of $25 to $10 per game, depending on section.'

An HK beltfed isn't exactly a doable home brew project.
any sources for a build tutorial or even parts?
always wanted one but since everything is getting so freaking expensive why not go for the holy grail right?
An HK beltfed isn't exactly a doable home brew project.
The only place I can think of finding any kind of a build tut would be on an HK forum.
As for parts the only place I can think of off the top of my head is SARCO, then seem to have things that others don't, if you get Shotgun News look at their ad and see if anything is listed or email them

Getting the belt feed box welded to the receiver just right critical. There are stamped and cast belt feed boxes available. A factory receiver requires not removing the serial number. On German receivers the serial number can be "folded" in a Z to fit the belt feed box. I'm not sure about the location of Portuguese and Greek receivers. The receiver flats are much better these days as the inner rails have been flattened on the "good" ones. The US-made cast box is suppose to made well but isn't original. The stamped ones come either semi finished or completely finished, some claim to be imported. Some take the G3 box magazine but most do not. The HK21 and HK21A1 can be built legally. The Hk21E is tricky as it calls for lower take down pin but the ATF won't allow the second hole in the receiver for it. The hole is for the swing down belt feed box, not for the trigger group. I think somebody did come up with a legal work around for it though. Early Spanish made CETME receivers have a second take down hole and the ATF does allow it to be moved. There are some 1960's German receivers with the second hole but they are at collector prices.

Hi All,
I've been contacted by an ESL school in Italy through eslemployment.com for a job opening they'd like to fill.
It's a regular ESL teaching job, by all apparent means, but being the scardy-cat I am I thought it'd be wise to get some more info on them and teaching in Italy, in general. The school's called Connor Language Services, and according to their website it's a language institute in Milan that also provides English for specific purposes coaching, besides regular courses.
I'm not a native speaker but have acquired my familiarity with the language due to a period of time living in the US as a kid. I also don't have any teaching certificates, just a CPE and experience as a teacher here in Brazil, where my husband and I are currently based.
Having heard that the market's pretty competitive, especially when it comes to being certified and a native speaker (both qualities which I do not possess), I was quite surprised having been called for an interview - and even more so when I was told that the job description also included (partial) airfare reimbursement and that they'd be willing to arrange for a visa for my husband as well.
Anyways, I'd just like to hear from anyone if they've had any prior contact with this specific school or if the case specifics seem well within the range of normality. I appreciate everyone's help in advance and sorry for the long post!

If your eardrum doesn't contain a tube or have a hole in it, these self-care measures may help you remove excess earwax that's blocking your ear canal:
You may need to repeat this wax-softening and irrigation procedure a few times before the excess earwax falls out. However, the softening agents may only loosen the outer layer of the wax and cause it to lodge deeper in the ear canal or against the eardrum. If your symptoms don't improve after a few treatments, see your doctor.
Earwax removal kits available in stores also can be effective at removing wax buildup. Ask your doctor for advice on how to properly select and use alternative earwax-removal methods.
Never attempt to dig out excessive or hardened earwax with available items, such as a paper clip, a cotton swab or a hairpin. You may push the wax farther into your ear and cause serious damage to the lining of your ear canal or eardrum.
