The primary objective of treatment is to ensure a rapid and complete elimination of the Plasmodium parasite from the patient's blood in order to prevent progression of uncomplicated malaria to severe disease or death, and to chronic infection that leads to malaria-related anaemia. From a public health perspective, treatment is meant to reduce transmission of the infection to others, by reducing the infectious reservoir and by preventing the emergence and spread of resistance to antimalarial medicines.

Fishing on Hawaii Island
The Kona Coast on Hawaii Island is renowned for its big-game fishing, with anglers flying in from all over the world for high-stakes tournaments or just a low-key time with friends. In fact, Kona is the home of the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament (August), the "Grandfather of all Big Game Fishing Tournaments."
Visitors can rent deep-sea charters out of Honokohau Harbor just north of Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona) in search of marlin, mahimahi, ono and ahi. But locals also recommend you also look beyond the open ocean, bringing your rod, tackle and bait along piers, jetties, the shore and streams. From a boat deck or dry land, casting off Hawaii Island will help you reel in that big-fish story that'll be sure to impress everybody back home.

But remember my hives are warmer than anything on the market.
>I wonder if anyone has done any testing to determine what temperature the bees prefer?>How would you know?Well, you probably can't know what they would prefer but you can know what consumes the least stores... and that seems be right around freezing or slightly above. I'd shoot for 32 F. They are nice and quiet but not too stressed out.
Have you guys noticed any condensation problems in the foam hives without ventilation ?
..I think what you call correx is what we call coroplast over here. What type of glue adheres good to that stuff? Could you use that for your side protection instead of metal?You mentioned "0.5mm ally sheet", I assume this is some metal alloy or aluminum? They sell fairly thin roof flashing here at our big home improvement stores, but it still looks a bit cumbersome to work with. It might be thicker than 0.5mm, I don't know for sure. How do you attach metal to foam? Contact cement?

Looking for a chic accessory that will pack a lot of punch without overwhelming your wedding-day look? Gloves can be the perfect addition you're looking for. Designers added long opera gloves, short lace gloves and even gauntlets, fingerless gloves, to complete the look of their wedding gowns.
While gloves were once a staple in every woman's daily wardrobe, they are now limited to cold weather and formal events, but after seeing the various pairings on the runway brides having an informal or formal, day or evening, ballroom or backyard wedding can put on a pair.
Here's a glove-wearing tip: For the wedding ceremony, ask your seamstress to cut a slit on the ring finger of the left glove so your groom can easily place a wedding band on your finger.
Here are a few glove options from the Fall 2013 Bridal runway:
Anne Barge's Parisian-inspired collection showcased both long and short options. On the far left is a pair of off-white short fingerless gloves, adorned with a small bow. In the center, sheer opera gloves, that go over the elbow, is the perfect complement to a tulle gown. Both gloves by Carolina Amato.
Pnina Tornai, exclusively at Kleinfeld, designed a pair of lace gauntlets embellished with silver embroidery, and if you look carefully you can see a large decorative bow at the top of each one.

Bacary Sagna sat down for an interview with Arsenal Player this week and you can watch the video clip now by clicking on the link to the right.
Alternatively, scroll down this page for a transcript of this exclusive interview with our France right back.
What do you make of the season so far?
I think we are improving. Compared to the beginning of the season we are a bit sharper, we have some new players and everybody is a bit more focused. We know we need to be successful, and we have to play better than in the past few weeks.
How hard was it for you to watch the 8-2 defeat to Manchester United?
Physcially hard because first of all I had a fever. Mentally as well it was difficult to see the team struggle as it did. To see them concede eight goals was not easy because it is hard playing in those kinds of games. Many players were missing, some were starting for the first time and it was Manchester United. We are bouncing back from that game and are learning a lot from it.
Did you have any words for Carl Jenkinson after the game?
I don't need to say anything to him, he gives his best day by day. The whole team struggled, not only him. It was difficult to defend as a team and Manchester United played really well. They gave a hard job to everyone, not him in particular. I think he is a good player. He is very talented and is is still learning - he is still only 19 years old. He still has time to improve and he will for sure.
Has there been more of en emphasis on keeping things tight since?
No, I think we are just doing the job more professionally. From Robin [van Persie] to the defence, everybody is giving a bit more for his team-mates and we can see the results straight away. We are a bit sharper at the back, we know we have to be a bit more consistent and talk a bit more to each other. It makes things easier.
As one of the more experienced players in the side, has the boss looked to you to help the younger members of the squad more?
We have to be natural leaders. I think if I have something to say I will say it straight away - on the pitch is totally different from normal life. We can argue and say anything on the pitch, but for the team we have to do it if we want to be successful as I say. We just have to communicate a bit more.
What do you make of the new signings so far?
They have done very well until now. They have played well, and look good. Technically they are made for Arsenal, and they will bring a lot to the team. Now it's only the beginning, and I just hope they bring even more than they have done until now t bring us success. They bring experience which we needed, and I hope they can push us to silverware.
Is there a different mood in the team with all the comings and goings? Players like Francis Coquelin have made the step up to the first team...
No, it's always been Arsenal behaviour to bring up players from the youth team. We saw it in the past with Jack Wilshere and Nicklas Bendtner and they always did well for the team. They will give their maximum and show what they can do. They are quality players and we need everyone to be successful. Everyone will play, and everyone has to be ready.
What are your thoughts ahead of the Blackburn game?
It is not an easy place to go. We experienced a tough game on Tuesday at Dortmund - the atmosphere was crazy but we did well and I think we can do it again on Saturday against them. It won't be easy because they will want to earn the maximum amount of points quite quickly like every other team. If we want to be successful we have to win these kinds of games, give our maximum and show we are better than them.
How important is momentum for the team?
I think it will bring confidence to the team first of all. Then after that we have some points to take back from the games we missed. Some teams like Manchester City and United are already on top, so if we want to stick to them we have to win game after game.

Dr. Klugman studies the disease that is the number one killer of children worldwide. If you guessed malaria or AIDS, you'd be wrong. It's pneumonia. Two million children under five die every year from it every year--one child every 15 seconds.
Dr. Klugman and I spoke about his research on how pneumonia causes so much devastation, its hidden role in the 50 million deaths in the 1918 flu pandemic, and how a new pneumonia vaccine can stop the disease in its tracks.

Discussion in 'October 2008' started by max, Oct 17, 2008.
my handle is baltimore42 incase you guys want to chat me up over there.
My handle is lbjcavsx23. Oh my goodness, I think they even let Darth into that chat....
Samb moves really well for how tall he is. He seems to have good balance...if he can get his basketball IQ up there, we could have a dominating front court of Johnson/Samb in a couple of years. Nice to see Amir putting up a full stat line. Nice to see Prince still has some game.
When I heard that my mouth dropped and eyes were bugged out like this
The weird thing about his 3 was that there was nothing weird about it. Looked pretty natural. Sheed-like almost.
Lots more fun watching the game. Thanks to OBM on the old board for the link. Wow. Amir continually is found at the front of fast breaks. Amir gets the ball up top, dribbles in, draws defenders, kicks out - like a guard. His best move to the basket resulted in him missing an easy 2 footer, but you know those will drop soon. Four blocks at least. Lots of bounds. Excellent play. Third quarter saw us go way up from a 40-40 tie. Lots of that was Amir. Sheed. O-8 to start. He then did get one score inside, made two free throws, and hit a triple. But a very, very slow start. JMAX. Pretty awesome on offense around the basket. Unfortunately, terrible at line. He did hit a couple of free throws at the end of the game. Hopefully, his free throw shooting will straighten out as the season begins. Kwame. DNP. I know he has missed some practice for some minor injury. Samb. A block. A triple made. Looked good shooting it too, in garbage time. Dyess. Hit a few shots. Got inside once for an easy one when they were not looking. But unfortunately, Dyess is still into just one thing, taking outside shots. He has got to add to his offensive game, or he will not help us. His defense was just not that good, just too slow on lateral movement. Herrmann. Hit a triple. His poor D gave up about 13 points in 7 minutes. And Cleveland was being kind to him at that. Since this was a meaningless game, and the game was not close, Cleveland worked on other things for several plays rather than pick on Herrmann. But if the game was close and meant anything, Cleveland could have scored every single time by exploiting the lead feet of Herrmann. Every single time. Herrmann does not belong in the NBA game. (details: The Pistons were trying their best to cover for Herrmann, but Cleveland was continually exploiting the resulting poor defensive positioning of our players.) Prince. Hitting his shots, helping with the guard duties, great D as always. Fine game. Rip. Hit a bunch of shots. Got to the basket plenty too. Very much needed. Make them guard that basket, free up the outside shots. Billups. Nothing spectacular. Good solid play. Afflalo. Good solid D. Helped control the ball well. Acker and Bynum got to play just a bit. Acker made a hoop off a spin move. And finally, Stuckey, the guy who absolutely stole the show - save for Amir's play anyway. What a game. Cleveland had no answer for Stuckey. Stuckey got into the lane at will. If they did play off him enough to prevent the drives, Stuckey just calmly nailed a J. Best way to describe Stuckey's game: Pure Speed.
Somebody please tell me the shot clock was down to 3
Yea, that link was pretty good. Not a bad feed for the price (free). Thanks, Roscoe for posting it!
Still it even shocked Austin Carr and Fred Mc-Loud as they talked about it for a few extra seconds. It did look his natural shot though. I might trust him taking that shot more so than Sheed What was Sheed another dismal 2-12 I don't care shooting effort... FG % for my two Pistons I drafted last night Stuckey and Prince were over 70% which is good, but they both need to fill out some more stats or they are going on the trading block. My Fantasy MVP from last year LBJ, rested tonight as I need him to be ready for a long season...(but need his team to mediocre though) Started off slow tonight but excellent second half for the Pistons. Amir is looking good and active. Maybe an early combo of Rodman and Big Ben
Yeah I bookmarked it last week when lpgrl posted it and became a member then. I was just about to post the link tonight but Roscoe beat me to the punch. I was able to watch a Red Wings game on there later that week and then a found a Lions [STRIKE]game[/STRIKE] exercise in futility, by going to the link on Sunday and it referred me to another link. Ustream.TV search: sports - Shows, People, Videos. Live and recorded video clips, chat rooms, photos, .TV channels, events, news. where after joining it, I found the Texans teasing the lions...
Stuckey is ripped. And he moves so quickly with so much control. It's so nice to know that he's signed up for 3 years for hardly anything. The physical strength of our 2nd unit is impressive. Stuck/Afflalo/Herrmann/Max/Dyess can all play physical ball and make the other team uncomfortable. Not only will these guys play a bigger role this year and save our starters energy, but our bench should be able to take a physcial toll on other teams' starters when they meet up. So much fun to watch. I totally forgot Kwame Brown was even on the team until after the game was over and I looked at the box score. Anything he can do for us will be gravy.
no game report from me...gave my tix away to my sister and bro-in-law. i called him up and asked about the game and he said amir was flying all over the place and looked good, and same about stuckey.
I can't believe the media is trying to discredit this win last night. They're acting like this LeBron James fellow plays a key role for Cleveland.
If Cleveland didn't have LeBron James they would be worst then the Knicks.
He'd be Herrrrrman's back-up if he played for Detroit. Ben and Sczerbiak make that team go.
Separate names with a comma.

Tenant Lock-Outs
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
A landlord may only exercise a lock-out if your lease allows your landlord to do so. Even if your landlord locks you out, your landlord must always provide you with a key to re-enter the residence. The tenant lock-out provision of the Texas Property Code is designed only as a way for the landlord to communicate with the tenant, not as a way to permanently exclude you from your residence. In addition, if the landlord does not follow precisely the requirements for conducting a tenant lock-out, the landlord may be liable for damages for violating Texas law.
A landlord may temporarily prevent you from entering your leased premises only when (1) your rent is not completely paid and only if the landlord follows very strict rules and promptly allows you back in the premises; (2) there is an emergency situation and the landlord needs to conduct bona fide repair, or (3) you have abandoned the premises.
When your landlord changes your door locks because you are behind on paying the rent, the landlord must give you advanced written notice of the proposed lock change AND a written notice at the time your locks are changed. The advanced written notice must be mailed no later than the fifth calendar day before the locks are changed or hand-delivered no later than the third calendar day before the locks are changed, and MUST state (1) the earliest day of the proposed lock change, (2) the amount of rent the tenant must pay to prevent the lock-out, (3) the name and street address of where the rent can be paid or the matter can be discussed, and (4) a notice, underlined or bold print, of the tenant's right to receive a key to the new lock at any hour, regardless of whether the tenant pays the delinquent rent.
When your landlord changes your locks, your landlord must also leave a written notice on your front door describing where a new key may be obtained at any hour giving the name and location of the individual who will provide you with the new key. The notice must state that the landlord must provide the key to you at any hour (regardless of whether you pay any of the delinquent rent), and the notice must also state the amount of rent and other charges for which you are delinquent. The new key must be provided to you immediately, regardless of whether you pay the landlord anything, and the notice must give you a telephone number that is answered 24 hours a day that you can call to have a key delivered to you within two hours after calling the number.
These rules apply no matter what the lease agreement says, and even if the landlord is closing down the premises. The landlord CANNOT remove a door, window, lock, doorknob, or any other appliance furnished by the landlord because you are behind on the rent, unless the removal is for repair or replacement (in which case, a lock, doorknob, or door should be repaired or replaced before nightfall).
If the landlord changes the door locks without leaving the required notice or without providing a new key, or removes a door or other item improperly, you may terminate the lease or recover possession of the premises. In either case, you may also file suit to recover actual damages, one month's rent plus $1000, and reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, less any past due rent owed by you as the tenant. If the landlord fails to give you the new key, you are entitled to an additional month's rent. You have two years from the date of the violation to file a lawsuit against your landlord for wrongful lock-out. Your claim is against the landlord (the owner of the property, not the manager, maintenance man, or name of the complex) -- remember, the owner is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the people who work for the owner, and the owner is also the one that will have the money to pay the judgment.
To get back in to your residence, you should contact the landlord, manager, management company, or owner for a new key. If your landlord refuses to give you a key, you can go to the Justice of the Peace Court in your area and request a "writ of reentry," which will order the landlord to provide you with a key to your house or apartment. If the judge approves your request, the court will issue the "writ of reentry." The court will charge a fee for the constable to deliver this order to the landlord. If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, you may file an Affidavit of Inability to Pay, sometimes called a Pauper's Oath, with information about your income, your property, monthly expenses, dependents, and debts.
As soon as the landlord is served with the "writ of reentry," the landlord must immediately comply with the order. The constable is allowed to use reasonable force in executing a writ of reentry.
Exceptions to Lock-outs:
If you are engaged in military service and your rent does not exceed $1,200 per month, a landlord cannot lock you out unless it obtains permission from a court. Otherwise, the landlord will be in violation of the federal Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act.
Also, an apartment complex that receives tax credits (a federal subsidy) may not lock out or threaten to lock out any tenant unless there is an emergency or to perform bona fide repairs.

Maria Lillge Scores Pair in 4-2 Phoenix Win
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's soccer team brought the weather from its recent road trip back to Green Bay on Friday night, but the Phoenix (2-4-0) battled against the constant rain to build a 4-0 win and down visiting Michigan Tech (1-2-0) 4-2 in non-conference action. Appleton native Maria Lillge scored her first two career goals in the win, finding the back of the net in the 44th and 48th minutes.
The four goals scored by the Phoenix were the most since a 4-0 win over Northern Iowa back on Sept. 10, 2010. The six combined goals were the most tallied at Santaga Stadium since Green Bay defeated Cleveland State 5-1 on Oct. 11, 2009.
"I was really pleased with the way we came out and started the game very fast," said head coach Trevor Warren. "It was especially good to be able to get all the players into the game on parents weekend. Maria did great to get two important goals on both sides of half time to put us into a comfortable lead."
Senior Megan Braatz (Waukesha, Wis.), who entered the game with a team-high two goals, added her third just two minutes into Friday's contest to give Green Bay a 1-0 lead. Braatz used some skilled dribbling to find space at the top of the box before firing a left-footed shot past the keeper.
Despite outshooting the Huskies 12-4 over the first 43 minutes, Green Bay was unable to add to its lead until Lillge's first career marker late in the half. While falling down, the freshman booted an arching shot over Jenna Phelps' outstretched arm and into the net.
Warren, who played 24 players in the contest, switched keepers at the break. Sophomore Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) earned the win by going the first 45 minutes and stopping two shots. Freshman Natascia Behle (St. Paul, Minn.) made four saves in the second half.
Lillge gave the Phoenix insurance early in the second half, scoring in the 48th off a rebound. Corralling the deflected shot of freshman Heidi Hartmann (Plymouth, Minn.) to the left of the goal, Lillge took a shot that glanced off the far post before heading into the net.
Junior Renee Therrien (Winnipeg, Manitoba) took a pass from sophomore Emily Friedl (Kenosha, Wis.) and gave the Phoenix a 4-0 edge just three and a half minutes later, blasting a shot from 25 yards.
Michigan Tech scored goals in the 53rd and 71st minutes to cut the margin in half, but the Phoenix held on for its first home win of the season.
Green Bay finished with a 17-13 edge in shots and a 9-2 advantage in corner kicks.
The Phoenix will return to action on Sunday, welcoming South Dakota to Santaga Stadium at noon.

Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Revenue and Taxation Code
Property Taxation
Part 2. Assessment
Chapter 3. Assessment Generally
Article 4. Property Escaping Assessment
Section 531.4
531.4. Escaped business property; inaccurate statement or report. When an assessee files with the assessor a property statement or report on a form prescribed by the board with respect to property held or used in a profession, trade or business and the statement fails to report any taxable tangible property accurately, regardless of whether this information is available to the assessee, to the extent that this failure causes the assessor not to assess the property or to assess it at a lower valuation than he would enter on the roll if the property had been reported to him accurately, that portion of the property which is not reported accurately, in whole or in part, shall be assessed as required by law. If the failure to report the property accurately is willful or fraudulent, the penalty and interest provided in Sections 504 and 506 shall be added to the additional assessment; otherwise only the interest provided in Section 506 shall be added.
History.—Added by Stats. 1969, p. 3164, in effect November 10, 1969.
Construction.—The word "shall" in this section must be construed as mandatory so that mandamus will lie to compel immediate performance of the assessor's duty in order to avoid loss due to the running of the statute of limitations. Knoff v. San Francisco, 1 Cal.App.3d 184.
Right to recover accrues on lien date.—The right to recover taxes on business inventories escaping assessment as a result of inaccuracies in the taxpayer's property statements accrued on the lien date of the fiscal year in which the escape occurred and the law as it then existed must govern the assessment. The statutory scheme for escape assessments embodies the principle that the right to taxes on escape property accrues on the lien date, not on the date of entry on the tax roll. California Computer Products, Inc. v. Orange County, 107 Cal.App.3d 731; General Dynamics Corporation v. San Diego County, 108 Cal.App.3d 132.

Supporting recovery and local governance in Somalia
It is early morning and Amina[1] has another busy day ahead. The mother of two must get her children off to school and finish some housekeeping before she can attend to her small business, selling second-hand clothes and household supplies beside her corrugated-iron-roofed house.
In spite of her hectic schedule, Amina is heavily involved with her local community in Bossaso, northern Somalia. She always finds time to attend the Girible Village Committee, a body of 30 people, representing locals on governance and development issues.
- The programme supports regional institutions in Somalia, ensuring local governance contributes to fair delivery of services and stability in the country.
- In 2010, activities were extended to cover 10 districts of Somalia. There are plans to expand it further, to include up to 98 districts in Puntland, Somaliland and south-central Somalia, next year.
- In 2010, a total of 59 projects were implemented, reaching almost 1 million beneficiaries in Somaliland, Puntland and Mogadishu districts.
- Community monitoring groups – a third of whose members are women – have been set up to monitor the implementation of these projects.
- In 2010, for the first time in Somaliland, public meetings with communities have been recorded. An estimated 1,700 people have attended, of which at least 40 percent were women.
Her involvement reflects a change in the community. "In the past, women were not engaged in public work," she explains. "We are now recognised as custodians and monitors of public projects carried out by the local council."
Amina is one of 17 women on the committee, sponsored by the Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralized Service Delivery (JPLG). This five-year project is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and its UN partners.
The voice of public authorities in Somalia is feeble and scattered due to decades of civil unrest, factional violence, and severe disasters. The JPLG, funded by the European Commission, US Department for International Development and USAID among others, aims to support regional institutions in Somalia, to ensure that effective local governance contributes to fair delivery of services and, ultimately, peace.
The project provides training sessions and workshops to support local development, ensuring that local authorities are accountable and transparent, and the services they provide meet communities' needs.
It also supports women to get involved in development, through public meetings, training, outreach and media campaigns.
When first launched in 2008, the JLPG covered four districts in Puntland and Somaliland. The success of these pilot initiatives led to the extension OF Its activities in 2010 to six further districts, including Galkayo and Gardo in Puntland, and Burao, Hargeisa, Odweine and Sheikh in Somaliland.
There are now plans to expand this work to include up to 98 districts in Puntland, Somaliland and south-central Somalia by next year.
Back in Bossaso, the Girible Village Committee holds regular meetings to discuss the local council's performance in delivering services, such as transport. The committee also receives feedback from a community monitoring group, established to keep a check on its work.
"Civic education provided by the JPLG has given us plenty of knowledge of our rights and obligations. Personally, I am now able to critique, negotiate more effectively and provide alternative solutions to problems," says Amina.
According to her, the project has led to "positive social change", including greater gender equality.
"Here in Bossaso, men appreciate what we do. Women now can better articulate their rights and voluntarily participate in development activities."
Sarah Ahmed Shire, who chairs another village committee's community monitoring group, in Galkacyo district, says this work has helped raise her profile, and given her an opportunity to promote development alongside other women.
"As a woman I am trusted and listened to more," she says. "I am engaged with other women in public service delivery."

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Training Our Puppy (basic) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/)
- - My solution to a nippy/biting puppy! FINALLY SOMETHING WORKED!.. So MIND BLOWN. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/432193-my-solution-nippy-biting-puppy-finally-something-worked-so-mind-blown.html)
My solution to a nippy/biting puppy! FINALLY SOMETHING WORKED!.. So MIND BLOWN.
So I did a lot of searches on the forums.. and tried to read up as much as I could on bite inhibition. Just as I had gotten through the housebreaking headaches.. began the land sharking. Hes broken skin A LOT. König is 12 1/2 weeks now.
I used the "ouch" and time out method for a long time. The problem is... when I leave the room.. i swear he never cared. Even as a puppy we picked him from the breeder because he was less whiny and attached to humans. We knew he'd have to be alone for long periods of time eventually and wanted to try and avoid a puppy with separation anxiety as much as possible. So yea, I'd say "ouch" leave the room.. and he'd just keep himself busy or lay down. Wasnt seeing any improvements but I just kept at it so I dont confuse him.. or give up on a method too early.
Well recently I watched these two videos:
I used "relax" command instead of "head". He got it pretty quickly. I applied it from any down position. From his sides and his belly. I say relax and he'll just lay his head down and stop nipping. I had a really big issue with him nipping at myself and guests when we'd try to pet him. He'd start going for the hands. So now when he starts to nip when people pet him I just tell him to relax and treat when he puts his head down. I also added in petting as I say relax. So now he will lay there and be pet with his head down. I've been doing this for 3 days and hes getting REALLY good at it. Response is within a few seconds now.
Next I used the "gentle" command. I did this by holding a treat in my palm but having it pinched down with my thumb. I hold the treat and say "gentle" and mark the behavior with "yes" then release the treat. He learned within one session that he's only going to get the treat by licking. He no longer bites when being given treats. I then started just carrying treats on me constantly. And when we'd be playing, ANYTIME he got nippy, I'd say "gentle" I would just let him bite my arm or hand and wait for him to either stop biting or start licking (I had to bear through a lot of bites..) Then mark and treat. I've been doing this for 2 days now, and I've already seen a HUGE difference in nipping. I think he's making the connection of "When I stop biting i get a treat" And now.. nipping can actually be STOPPED when he starts. Before, when he'd get into a biting fit, there was no stopping him. I think redirecting to toys is a good method as well.. but I felt that it didn't really teach him what you wanted from him. It just told him.. "oh.. when you bite, I'd rather you bite that and not me" instead of teaching.. "I like it when you STOP biting. Or just lick instead".
Im hoping that eventually he realizes that there is ZERO benefit to biting. Only benefits to being "gentle" and "relaxed". That plus him hopefully eventually growing out of it... I feel like I finally made some headway into this land sharking that has been driving me MAD.
Well.. longer post that I had originally intended. What do you guys think? Good approach? Terrible approach, ditch it now? I dont think the guy in the youtube videos (who actually has a lot of other great videos) intended for this to be a solution for nipping.. but its definitely working for me. I'm going to later try to add "easy" and mark and reward when he goes from an amped up state of mind to a calm one. He's usually only biting when he's all worked up. Also, i thought im being all innovative here, haha but i doubt it. Anyone else try this and seen results? Anyways, this problem has been driving me crazy so I thought I'd share for anyone who might also be on the verge of losing their sanity!
Good for you for finding something that works to teach your puppy what you want from him. I don't see how anyone could say this is a terrible approach, if these are the results you want? I'm happy for you, especially if you get to keep your sanity, lol!
Kudos to YOU! I too used bite inhibition coupled with "Easy". That seemed to work for us. I had to teach him these since his favorite playmate is a chiauhau! He's 8 1/2 months now and is actually starting to get outa of that mauling "land shark" phase. Thank God!
Haha, I used a similar technique teaching mine "easy" when he started getting nippy. It's his sign to pull back and calm down. As long as you found something that works for you and your dog that's teaching him the behavior you want, I say you're doing great! :)
I teach that gentle command, and use the word a LOT and treat, and as I go along, I make it tougher and tougher to take the treat, so the do needs to be very careful taking the treat. When they are really good at that, I start using the word Gentle to remind the dog to be Gentle with the girl, Gentle with the puppy, Gentle with my fingers.
I like them method, it works for me.

Creedence Clearwater Revival
The key elements of Creedence had been woodshedding in bar bands for about a decade before their breakthrough to national success in the late '60s. John's older brother Tom formed the Blue Velvets in the late '50s in El Cerrito, California, a tiny suburb across the bay from San Francisco. By the mid-'60s, with a few hopelessly obscure recordings under their belt, the band -- including Tom and John with two high-school friends, drummer Doug Clifford and bassist Stu Cook -- signed to Fantasy, releasing several singles as the Golliwogs that went nowhere. In fact, there's little promise to be found on those early efforts; they were extremely derivative of the British Invasion and other R&B and rock trends of the day, with few hints of the swampy roots rock that would characterize CCR. The group only found themselves when John took firm reins over the band's direction, singing and writing virtually all of their material.
On their first album, 1968's Creedence Clearwater Revival, the group played it both ways, offering extended, quasi-psychedelic workouts of the '50s classics "I Put a Spell on You" and "Suzie-Q." The latter song became their first big hit, but the band didn't really bloom until "Proud Mary," a number two single in early 1969 that demonstrated John's talent at tapping into Southern roots music and imagery with a natural ease. It was the start of a torrent of classic hits from the gritty, Little Richard-inspired singer over the next two years, including "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Down on the Corner," "Travelin' Band," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Up Around the Bend," and "Lookin' Out My Back Door."
Creedence also made good albums -- Green River, Willy and the Poor Boys, and Cosmo's Factory all rank among the best of the rock era -- but their true forte was as a singles band. When the Beatles broke up in early 1970, CCR was the only other act that provided any competition in the fine art of crafting bold, super-catchy artistic statements that soared to the upper reaches of the charts every three or four months. Although they hailed from the San Francisco area, they rarely succumbed to the psychedelic indulgences of the era. John Fogerty also proved adept at voicing the concerns of the working class in songs like "Fortunate Son," as well as partying with as much funk as any white rock band would muster on "Travelin' Band" and "Down on the Corner."
With John Fogerty holding such a strong upper hand, Creedence couldn't be said to have been a democratic unit, and Fogerty's dominance was to sow the seeds of the group's quick dissolution. Tom Fogerty left in 1971 (recording a few unremarkable solo albums of his own), reducing the band to a trio. John allowed drummer Doug Clifford and bassist Stu Cook equal shares of songwriting and vocal time on the group's final album, Mardi Gras (1972), which proved conclusively that Fogerty's songs and singing were necessary to raise CCR above journeyman status.
It was John Fogerty, of course, who produced the only notable work after the quartet broke up. Even his solo outings, though, were erratic and, for nearly ten years, nonexistent as he became embroiled in a web of business disputes with Fantasy Records. His 1984 album Centerfield proved he could still rock in the vintage Creedence mode when the spirit moved him, but Tom Fogerty's death in 1990 ended any hopes of a CCR reunion with the original members intact. ~ Richie Unterberger

I've finally finished updating my Cod, Butt, Collar and Back sculpts. I started these a while back, just after I'd finished updating the chest armour.
BACK: This had minor adjustments, mainly the width of the portion that goes over the shoulders and a slight change to the overall width.
BUTT: A lot slimmer (height).
COD: A lot different, slimmer, new detail (circled), dent position moved, new dent added and the portion that goes beneath the cod is longer and has more curvature.
COLLAR: wider, new dent position, new dents added, slightly shorter and the inner curvature (near the neck) now has the slight angles rather than rounded.
I hope these descriptions make sense:facepalm
IMPORTANT: The new collar and back armour will not fit the old collar and back (eg. new back & old collar, won't match). I do still have the Version 1 moulds so I can still make these if needed.

By Giuseppe Muro
James Shea has revealed the story behind one of the shortest loan deals in Arsenal history.
The young goalkeeper joined Southampton on a temporary one-month deal in February but spent just eight days on the south coast before being recalled by Arsenal.
Shea has explained his whirlwind move to the League One side and why his time there was abruptly cut short.
"I was injured at the time and Neil [Banfield] called me to say Southampton had come in for me," the 19-year-old told Arsenal.com. "He thought it would be a good move for me and I was just coming back from injury so I thought it would be a good move as well.
"Nigel Adkins [the Southampton manager] called me on Thursday night and asked me to go down there on the Friday. So I had a quick rush to get there and sign in the morning because they were travelling up to Rochdale for a game the next day.
"So it was all a bit of a rush! I got down there, was straight on the coach and up in Rochdale within a day. That game got called off but we travelled up to Hartlepool to do a few days training and then drew 0-0 against them.
"I had a day off and when I went in for training the next day they told me Arsenal were recalling me, after eight days, because Emi [Damien Martinez] was injured."
Despite making only two unused substitute appearances, Shea believes the experience was worthwhile and has heaped praise on Saints boss Adkins.
"I was a bit disappointed because I enjoyed it down there," he said. "It was good doing something different.
"Nigel Adkins was great - because he was a goalkeeper himself, he treated the goalkeepers well and he was great with me. I was treated well down there.
"I would like to have stayed there a little bit longer and maybe got a couple of games but it wasn't to be. And if they hadn't called me back, I wouldn't have been on the bench against Manchester United."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

As long time members on our forums, this team really shares in the passion for car computing. They have made an amazing prototype of their product which is on display at CES this year. Final units are expected in April. The unit without a rear seat entertainment (RSE) system will retail at $2,750. Add on an RSE package and it will cost $485 more. This may seem pricey, but they have made some custom cables and hardware devices which should help simply and speed up the installation process. Dashboard devices has 2 units being road tested in Amsterdam now. They have made some great progress with this product but as some of us know, one of the hardest things to do is move this from the 1-2 trial stage to being able to make, sell, market and support car computers at a larger scale production level. This is where most companies struggle. There are many companies who have failed completely and others who have announced product and several years later never released anything. We will talk more about the difficulties of bringing a car computing product to market in a later post.

AMES, Iowa – The 2013 Crop Advantage Series offered by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will be held at 13 Iowa locations during January. Crop Advantage meetings provide crop producers with the most current information necessary for making profitable decision for the upcoming growing season.
All Crop Advantage meetings feature general sessions with ISU Extension and Outreach specialists covering topics of common interest to Iowa producers. Erin Hodgson, extension entomologist, will discuss corn rootworm management strategies and the increasing concern regarding rootworm resistance. Antonio Mallarino and John Sawyer, extension soil fertility specialists, will review nutrient management research and getting the most from soil fertility plans. Recognizing crop and pest management issues are different for each area of the state, the meetings are tailored to fit the needs of producers in that area.
A full agenda of workshops focusing on local needs and production issues is included at each location. "Workshop topics include crops, pests, soil fertility and farm management," said Joel DeJong, field agronomist with ISU Extension and Outreach in northwest Iowa. "This allows attendees to personalize their agendas to meet their individual needs."
Extension field agronomists select workshop topics based on concerns of area producers. "Producers are interested in so many of our topics, they find it hard to get to all the sessions they want," said Jim Fawcett, extension field agronomist from east central Iowa. "The topics are in great demand. We think it's a good problem to have."
The meetings are approved for Certified Crop Adviser continuing education credits. Each location also offers the opportunity for private pesticide applicators to receive continuing education credits.
Registration for each location is $35 and includes workshop materials, lunch and refreshments. An additional fee is charged for CCA credits and private pesticide applicator recertification. Registration materials are available at www.cropadvantage.org or from local ISU Extension offices.
Launched in 2002, the meeting series has impressive attendance numbers. "Response from producers has been very positive," said DeJong. "In addition to providing the latest research information from Iowa State, the meetings have been a valuable way for producers to provide input back to ISU researchers and specialists on what their needs are. It works both ways."

The Forecast in the Streets
The physical impacts of the global warming forecast can be bracketed with some degree of statistical confidence. Biological effects are more difficult to gauge, except in special cases such as the likely demise of polar bears that would result from the demise of Arctic sea ice. The societal effects, however, are nearly uncharted territory, at least to me. Perhaps the topic of global warming suffers from the same sort of cultural divide as university faculties, between the techies and the touchies; that is the sciences and the humanities. A new report (pdf) called The Age of Consequences, just released by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Center for a New American Security, tries to bring the social sciences, in particular history, geography, and political science, into the forecast of climate change in the coming century. It makes for fascinating if frightening reading.
The report was based on discussions of a group of senior luminaries with a wide range of expertise. I already knew or knew of and respect the climate scientists Mike MacCracken and Bob Correll, and Ralph Cicerone, head of the National Academy of Sciences. The group also included Nobel laureate Thomas Schelling, former CIA Director James Woolsey, former Chief of Staff to the President John Podesta, and former National Security Advisor to the Vice President Leon Fuerth. (Apparently not all group members, listed in the executive summary on page 8, got writing assignments, so not all of them are listed as authors.)
Images of the future can be constructed based on the lessons of history. The history chapter (beginning on page 26) begins with Table 1, which I will reprint here:
It is sobering to note that the potential horsemen of climate change, floods, droughts, and epidemics, are all at the big end of this list. There is no historical precedent for the type of global multidimensional challenge that changing climate may bring, but there are common elements in societal responses to natural disasters, and many of the impacts of climate change will be regional in scope rather than global, like natural disasters.
The report considers the historical societal impacts of disasters ranging from bubonic plagues in the middle ages to Katrina. History teaches that people tend to return to religion in times of trouble, and to turn against people outside their social group. Governments are destabilized by hard times. Natural disasters tend to impact most strongly in less affluent parts of the world.
History also teaches that people have a tendency to develop ways of coping with environmental fragility, by choices of individual living strategies such as the ability to migrate, or by decisions made at the societal level, such as engineered flood control measures or mobilizing assistance from outside. The report offers the idea that it takes a population a few generations to learn how to operate within the limits of its natural world. For example, the report attributes the dust bowl drought in some measure to environmental inexperience of a population who had only recently migrated from more humid regions. With our recent increased mobility, and with climate change itself, we find ourselves losing this buffer of experience and understanding.
The group imagined three potential scenarios, labeled expected, severe, and catastrophic. These are not forecasts exactly, since forecasting society is even harder than forecasting climate, which is itself pretty dicey on a regional spatial scale, but rather a fleshing out of plausible possibilities, a story-telling, visualization-type exercise.
The "expected" scenario calls for 1.3 °C of warming globally above 1990 levels, by the year 2040. Changes in precipitation and sea level prompt migration at a scale sufficient to challenge the cohesion of nations. The potential responses to this scenario are broken down into specific regions with their particular historical and political settings. Just to pick a region at random, Nigeria in West Africa will suffer accelerated desertification with climate change, prompting intensified migration into the megacity of Lagos, which is itself threatened by sea level rise. Compounding Nigeria's misfortune, there is oil in the Niger Delta, and as global oil supplies dwindle, the strife and corruption that oil brings a weak nation will only intensify.

Electric Vehicles Going Mainstream?
Although electric vehicles have been around for decades, they have yet to make a huge impact in the competitive market. Gas guzzlers continue to dominate the roadways despite the fact that electric cars can save drivers thousands of dollars a year in fuel costs. They have been proven to be just as safe, reliable and affordable as other cars, yet there has yet to be a true electric vehicle revolution in the United States. However, two recent articles show that the market may soon start shifting towards electric over gas.
The two main arguments against electric vehicles are their unfair reputation as slow, expensive and weak cars and the lack of charging stations available for long distance driving. Articles from Motor Trend and the Huffington Post, respectively, have helped disprove these myths and point towards a bright future for electric cars.
In the January 2013 edition of Motor Trend, the magazine will name the Tesla Model S the car of the year. This marks the first time in their 64 year history that they will give the award to a car without an internal combustion engine and signals that public stereotypes against electric vehicles are becoming less prevalent. Motor Trend touts the impressive horsepower and torque of the Tesla, while also praising the storage space, sleek design and on-board navigation system. The Model S passed or exceeded all safety tests and was found to have a range of up to 265 miles with the largest battery installed. Tesla also recently unveiled 5 "Supercharger" stations (powered partially by solar panels) on the west coast that make long road trips possible, with the ability to add 160 miles to the car's range in 30 minutes of charging. The company hopes to have 100 stations operational by 2015. After the federal tax credit, the Model S comes out to around $50,000, which is comparable with similarly designed Mercedes, BMW and Audi vehicles. Factoring in the difference in price between electric power and gasoline, Tesla owners will certainly not be disappointed with the cost or performance of their vehicle.
The Huffington Post followed this announcement by writing an article showing the progress that electric vehicle charging stations have made. National park employees across the country have begun to use solar powered stations to fuel their electric utility vehicles. Yellowstone National Park, Zion National Park and Great Smoky Mountain National Park all have installed cost effective, local systems to charge their vehicles. In addition to assuring that our National Parks stay free of air pollution, these small-scale stations are providing a blueprint for future development. Having numerous compact stations throughout an area (Great Smoky Mountains National Park has 24 stations between the park and the major cities in Tennessee) can allow electric car owners to go on longer trips without having to worry about running out of battery power. Setting up this sort of infrastructure would be a revolutionary step forward for the future of electric vehicles.
Widespread adoption of electric vehicles will happen when we lower the price of these cars and increase charging station access. Clean Energy Victory Bonds legislation will do just that. The legislation provides for instant rebates for electric vehicle purchases, bringing down their costs at the dealership. It also provides $500 million for the development of charging stations across the US. While more and more people are looking at going car-free (and using mass transit, biking, and walking as their primary means of transportation), for those people who need a car, making it possible for them to drive an electric vehicle is the best way to lower their environmental footprint. Electric cars have proven themselves to be part of the solution, now we need to pass Clean Energy Victory Bonds to accelerate the shift to cleaner cars.
Thanks to Matt Jennings.

Best lenses for the 24-MPix Nikon D3200: Concise overviewBy Kevin Carter - Wednesday December 11 2013 Lens Recommendations
We've now had the opportunity to assess the entry-level 24-Mpix Nikon D3200 with a wide range of lenses. We've analyzed a total of over 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality, and to discover which of those models perform best on the camera. Read on to find out the models you should be looking to use and which ones you should try to avoid.
As the entry-level APS-C model in the range the Nikon D3200 has a surprisingly upmarket capability with a high-grade sensor, one that is potentially similar in performance as the firm's high-end D7100.
Like that model it has a 24-Mpix APS-C size CMOS with a wide sensitivity (from ISO 200-12,800 with expansion). It's capable of stills up 4fps and Full HD video capture for NTSC/PAL regions at 30/25 fps and there is also a movie inspired 24 fps option as well.
However, with the exception of the aging 12-Mpix D300s, the D3200 stands out now (after the announcement of the new D5300) as the only APS-C model in the firm's range to feature an anti-aliasing filter over the sensor; handy for budding filmmakers but potentially limiting the sharpness of the lens and sensor combination.
With this in mind our labs have evaluated the optical quality of over 140 different lenses on the camera from both Nikon and third-party makers. We've analyzed over 83 zooms in total, recently adding two new models from Sigma, the new high-speed 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM standard and the professional-oriented APO 120-300mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM.
Out of the remaining 63 primes, we've had the opportunity to include the new premium high speed Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f1.4G as well as well as the new Zeiss Otus 1,4/55 though at $4,000 this and some of the more recently analyzed lenses are at odds with the intended market of the Nikon D3200.
However at just $499 (complete with 18-55mm kit lens) this camera may also appeal to advanced users. Not only does it have a sensor with a high pixel density in a small form factor, it also has an optical viewfinder and phase-detection AF (the same AF module from the earlier Nikon D7000).

Following the lens recommendations for Nikon D7100 and entry-level D3200, we've now turned our attention to the new mid-range D5300. We've tested the camera with more than 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses have the best image quality when paired with the new camera.

Overall ratings vs. Sharpness
Thank you again for the great work you do.
In your overall ratings, you actually rate the D 5200 higher than the D7100 by one point; but as I read the lens comparisons, on lens after lens, the 7100 rates as much as 20% higher than the 5200. Now comes the 5300 that ranks with the 7100, lower than the 5200, but presumably will also have sharper images as does the 7100. So is the 5200 better with an overall higher rating? or the 5300/7100 with greater sharpness?

Re: Overall ratings vs. Sharpness
Thanks for your support, the dxomark score does not take into account sharpness and resolution. It evaluates sensor on a noise/color point of view.
Basically the D5300/D5200 and D7100 achieve the same score on the DxOMark sensor rating. (1 point of difference means only 1/15 of a Stop)
To have the whole story, you should maybe wait for the lens result for Nikon D5300 (which should be available very soon).
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

D3200 Lens Reviews
Thanks again for the review. The difference in performance of the same lenses on the D7100 and D3200 is a little greater than I had thought based on some initial tests you had done with the same lenses on both bodies. These reviews make it easier to understand what lenses are best at what focal lengths and apertures.
I generally just plug my FX lenses on the D3200 to provide a second body (in addition to a D600) to avoid lens switching and extend the reach of a 70-200 f4 Nikkor. A nice landscape set up is the 18-35G on the D600 and the 24-85G VR on the D3200 (effective 18-130 mm), bargain lenses and quite good performance when you consider the D3200 is the cheapest part of the set. Add in the 70-200 and I have 18 to 300 covered with good quality glass and very good bodies. Great performance on a budget. I supplement the set with a 50 mm AF-D and used manual focus fixed length Nikkors for low light work and where an easily found infinity focus point is required (astro imaging).
In general the performance of lenses on the D3200 is quite good, certainly better than on the older 10 & 12 MP Nikon bodies, but still well short of the D600.

Re: D3200 Lens Reviews
These reviews make it easier to understand what lenses are best at what focal lengths and apertures.
And you could not tell what lenses are best from the D5200 and D7100 llists that came before?
What is good for the D3200 is good for the D5200 is good for the D7100. There is not one lens that breaks this rule. Maybe we should have a few more rehashed lists for other Pentax or Sony bodies as Nikon seems to get unneeded attention here. :P
The only significant difference in these lists is the addition of lenses. But who is going to put a $4000 prime on a D3200.

Re: D3200 Lens Reviews
Good point, this review is performed for all Nikon D3200 owner who was waiting for the results.
Of course, results are very close to the previous Nikon D7100 and D5200 lens recommendation.
That why we make something shorter for this camera.
Best regards,

Good review.
Thanks for the review. I was waiting for it very much. I own kit 18-55, nikkor 55-300 and Sigma 17-50 which I bought just several weeks ago. Also was looking for new Sigma 17-70 and 18-35 but 17-50 looks like a good compromise and already available in local market. Also very interesting looks new 18-140 but high level of distortion is confusing.

Washington jobless rate holds steady
SEATTLE (AP) -- Washington state's unemployment rate is holding steady at 6.4 percent and remaining at the lowest point in more than five years.
The state Employment Security Department said Wednesday that the unemployment rate held firm from January to February and that Washington added 2,500 new jobs in February. They also revised the number of jobs added in January, boosting it by 2,000 for a total of 5,800 new jobs in the first month of the year.
Washington's unemployment rate is below the national rate of 6.7 percent for February.
In the past year, 54,400 jobs were added statewide. Washington's unemployment rate grew as high as 10.2 percent at the start of 2010 but has been falling steadily ever since. The state says about 220,000 people are looking for work.

Around the Word in 365 Days
Will My Loved Ones Be Saved?
1 Timothy 2:1-15 All of us have people who are near and dear to us who are not saved. You may even have immediate family members who still have not received God's great gift of salvation.
Several years ago I was on an Evangelism Explosion team. This was a program designed to train Christians in sharing the gospel with others. We were coupled with a trainer who shared the gospel with others as we observed. After one of these sessions, my trainer shared with me that she didn't believe her son would ever be saved. She said he was rebellious and on drugs, and she wondered if it was God's will to save him. I shared with her this scripture: "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (v. 4).
Based on this scripture I showed her how it is God's will to save her son. Then I prayed with her in faith for the salvation of her son.
A year later I was teaching a Bible study when a young girl came up to me afterwards. She said she was visiting and that I did not know her, but I knew her mother-in-law. Then she asked, "Do you remember going on visits with a lady in Evangelism Explosion and you prayed with her about her son?" I answered, "Yes." She continued, "Her son was saved six months ago, and I am his wife. I wanted to thank you for praying for him." What a joy it was for me to know another precious soul was added to God's kingdom and to see such a speedy answer to prayer.
God desires that your loved ones not perish. Whenever you pray for the salvation of another, you can know for sure you are praying God's will in that situation. Maybe there are those you would like to pray for today. Pray with me now for these precious souls.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I humbly ask with faith for the salvation of ____, _____, _______ and _____. I know now that it is Your will to save them. You say in Your Word if we pray anything according to Your will, we have the petitions we desire of You. Thank You for saving these dear souls, and I eagerly await the manifestation on earth of these prayers.

No one in Tennessee or in the fantasy football world can be encouraged by Chris Johnson 's 2012 debut: 11 carries, 4 yards. Forty-seven receiving yards kind of saved Johnson's day, but on Monday, head coach Mike Munchak was already faced with questions about whether he has considered benching Johnson or giving some of his work to another back. Munchak dismissed those queries by saying, "I think we'll roll with who we have."
Munchak blamed Johnson's meager ground total on some poor decisions by quarterback Jake Locker. But he also said something that sounded very familiar to Johnson's 2011 fantasy owners: He's looking to break the big play too often.
"Early he was, again, looking for a bigger run than was there instead of taking the 4 or 5 (yards) that are there," Munchak said of Johnson. "The cutback and the big one may come later if he gets more touches."
Fantasy Analysis:
Munchak has it right; Johnson just doesn't take what he's given. It's as if that 2,000-yard season has changed the way he approaches every carry. Yet, you have to keep starting him for now unless you have three top-12 RBs. It's frustrating, but with his usual backup, Javon Ringer , out due to an elbow infection, Johnson is going to keep getting almost all of the carries. The Titans face the Chargers on Sunday.

I've told this story previously, but a recap:
We had a hand fabricated long-boom wrecker based on a 1-ton Jimmy. It was made for pulling engines and maneuvering cars into/out of spaces in our salvage yard.
I'd hook onto an engine/transmission w/the cable, out on the end of that long boom. If I bogged it in some sand and popped the clutch, that big-A GMC would rear back onto its dualies and hold it as long as you cared to keep it up there.
Forward visibility for this 11-year-old was, however, limited...
This one isn't too crazy but man was it funny. Four of us left a party in a buddies 67 ford van. It was pitch black out side and we were on the back roads for obvious reasons. As we drove it started getting foggy out I mean really foggy we had slowed down to 20 miles per hour and still had a hard time seeing the road. After driving for about twenty minutes it was time for a pit stop. When we opened the door it was clear as a bell outside. The engine on the old ford van sits between the seats and the radiator hose sprung a leak fogging up the windows. Now if this happened to you would you tell anyone?
When i was round 15 or 16 i knocked round with a guy paul mackie, he had a MK III ford zephyr with racing slicks on.Man this guy could drive, there is a whole new sport now called drifting, well my mate must have invented it 30 yrs ago,it must have been winter at the time coz everywhere he went , we went around all corners sideways,no seatbelts,man, were we lucky nothing bad ever happened.This guy could drive man,he was very impressive, and prolly dangerous!

I am 24 now and i got my license when i was 17. My dad bought a 97 jeep wrangler and I drove it back and forth to school. Shortly after I started driving the jeep a buddy of mine bought an Izuzu Amigo. After that it was muddy trails atleast once a week, we would even leave school early if it was a nice day in the spring. We went out one night and it was pouring down rain, we decided to take some trails we have never taken before and low and behold I get stuck. Now my dad always worked out of town during the week so it was never really a big deal to go out during the week because he wouldn't know about it but we went out on a friday night when he was home. It took us almost 5 hours to get that jeep out of the mud while it was filling up with water and pouring down rain to make the water deeper. After we got the jeep out I decided to go into town to wash and vacuum the thing out because I knew he was going to see it in the morning. My plan was golden until I woke up the next morning and there was about of inch of water in the jeep from where it had lifted out of the carpets or something. Fun times. Dad is gone now but I still think of all the times he would tell me to keep it out of the mud and I would say but its a JEEP isn't it made for it. LOL
when I was fifteen I stayed at my cousins house for a summer. One day his sister wanted him to take his s-10 and pick up some cement bricks for her patio. When we got to menards she bought 100 of them at 25 pounds a piece. I looked at my cousin and said that it was only 250 pounds, he said well **** it will handle that. The guy loaded them and the truck squated lower and lower and lower. He could barely steer the truck going down the road. When we got home his dad came out and said why is that truck loaded so heavy and he said well it is only 250 pounds. And his dad said my *** it is. I said it is 100 cement bricks at 25 pounds a piece. He said that is f'n 2500 pounds and I said oh yeah it would be wouldn't it. Fun times.
I can tell you one thing about a jeep.What ever you do ''NEVER'' And I mean ''NEVER'' Take off down the road without the side hood latch's ''LATCHED''!!!! Don't even ask how I know..I left a pond that my boss own,He said meet me at the shop..Well while at the pond that day,I had to get the jeep to the back of the pond.It had a very good bottom to the pond.My boss said get the jeep to the back of the pond no matter how you do it..Well the jeep had a v8 in it with some 35'' tire's.I knew there was only one way I want to get it there. Right through the pond.So I open the hood sprayed All the wire's with WD-40..Went through the pond all day with no problem's.Well when it was time to go,He said meet me at the shop after you lock the gate..No problem..Got out on the street unlocked the wheels.Took off down the road,When I got to about 40 MPH..That hood opened up and didn't stop till it hit the windshield.. And case you don't know it.The windshield will open all the way until it hits the windshield.Well to make this short,When I got to the shop,He said you dumb A** you don't even have to tell me what happen..
I was 19 yrs old when this happen,I had a lot of fun that day in the pond.But It sure took a right turn fast..
And there was no getting out from putting a new windshield back in the jeep..
One day me and my first wife and some friends.took my boat out to go skiing. My Father-in-law said use my truck to bring your boat to the Dock.. Well that was all good..Until I backed up the boat into the water. I was the only one in the truck.My wife didn't like to watch.She had her back to me..Well all was good,My friend was taking the boat off the trailer..All of a sudden,, The Da* truck started to slide down the ramp. I was hitting the brake's like a ''mad man'' !!! They had someone standing on the bank on side of me,And he was yelling,''YOUR WHEELS ISN'T TURNING'' But I ''NEVER'' stopped hitting them.The water was coming through the window's ''Very fast'' At this point.Well when the water got to my chin,I said P**** on this truck,''TIME TO GET OUT'' !!! And I did,But right when I got the door open to get out,The trailer jack knife and the truck stopped..I was standing next to the truck in the water.At this time my X_WIFE turned around,And let me tell you..That was a look on her face I will never forget. I told her to go call her daddy,She said no way IN he**.. While I was standing in the water,The people that was yelling at me,I looked over at them,And I asked them..Would you like me to launch your boat for you,,And they said...''THAT'S ALL RIGHT'' And the look on there face,Was one I never forgot too.Well we got the truck out before My x-father-in law got there,But he could still tell it went under..He walked up and his favorite word all the time is...''what's happen'' With a big smile on his face.But I knew he was mad..He said yall go skiing..And I will have the truck back by the time yall are done...When we got home I said ..man I know your Mad at me..And He said ...Look I only paid $50.00 For that truck,And then he smiled at me...And Let me say this...He has ''LOT'S'' and ''LOT'S'' and did I say ''LOT'S'' of money.... Maybe that's why..

I don't like to tell anyone about this..But I thought yall would love the laugh..
They say the two happiest days in a boat owner's life are the day he gets it...
And the day he gets rid of it!
That is the truth..
We used to like to ramp things. Hills, levees, whatever you could find to take off from. I launched my '69 Nova off the western approach embankment of the Jimmie Davis Bridge going ~60mph while the bridge was under construction. We never touched the downhill part of the embankment, just landed on the flat ground at the bottom, and skidded to a stop just short of the Red River.
Total damage to car: A chunk of hard clay got beween the fan and the radiator and pin-holed the radiator.
Total damage to me: One lower lip bit through when lower teeth hit the steering wheel.
Total damage to passenger: None, and his gangly a** wasn't even belted in.
My very first car was a 72 buick skylark 2 door with a 350, buckets, console, actually a very nice car but on its last leg when I got it for 600 bucks. After a short time I noticed that the tranny started slipping. Turns out it had a rear seal leak and was low on fluid. Every time I let the car sit I would put a plastic pail under the car, every time I went to leave I would just pour the tranny fluid back into the tranny first. One night after a party two of my buds and I were eager to get on the road, I poured the fluid back into the trans, well the forward bands in the old tranny had finally gave up the ghost and we were not moving. Then a bud said "hey what about reverse?" I dropped it into R and well she worked just fine. I drove home about 10 miles through the city at 3AM in reverse with a bud sitting on the door with his hands on the roof and half his body out the window shouting directions and laughing his face off. Lord only knows why we get away with some of the crap we did as kids!? That was the last time I ever drove that car..sold it to a farmer for 300 bucks, wish I still had it.
Just wanted to say thanks,I sure enjoy the stories.And I hope everyone did too..I thought this would be kind of fun to let everyone know that everyone once in their life had a crazy time are two in their car..Some don't like to talk about it,(are just don't want anyone to know)..I know I didn't at first..But what the He** ...Thought I would give someone a laugh about my life..Thanks again to everyone that posted..
