Val D'isere, France • Defending World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher of Austria protected his first-run lead to comfortably win a giant slalom race Sunday, helped by Frenchman Alexis Pinturault's clumsy mistake three gates from the end.
Hirscher, who was third in Saturday's slalom, secured his first win of the season, his third consecutive podium spot and fifth so far.
"I heard a lot of questions recently, like 'What's going on, you're only second?'" Hirscher said. "Whoa, I thought second was OK. But now I guess those questions are over. "
He finished 1.16 seconds ahead of Germany's Stefan Luitz, with Park City's Ted Ligety climbing up from sixth to finish 1.42 behind in third place on the Stade Olympique de Bellevarde course.
Pinturault was left just as stunned as the home fans by his error as he caught an inside ski and put his hand down with the finish line in sight, missing out on the chance of a second straight success after winning Saturday's slalom.
Ligety, meanwhile, has got his third podium of the season but missed out on a hat trick of giant slalom victories after winning the last two races.
"Val d'Isere's always tough, it's not a hill I particularly like," Ligety said. "It's not very user friendly, it's very steep the whole way."
Ligety was unhappy with his first run, where he finished sixth, but found some satisfaction with his second.
"I'm happy to salvage it," he said. "I'm happy to walk away from this hill with a podium when it could easily have been a DNF."
Women's slalom
In St. Moritz, Switzerland, Tina Maze of Slovenia won her third straight World Cup giant slalom to extend her lead in the overall standings, and defending champion Lindsey Vonn placed 27th after almost crashing out.
Maze held her morning lead to finish 0.08 seconds ahead of Viktoria Rebensburg, the Olympic champion from Germany, in a total time of 2 minutes, 11.07 seconds. Tessa Worley of France was third, trailing Maze by 0.55.
Vonn hit trouble midway down her second run after her skis appeared to touch. The American racer came out of rough, course-side snow to complete the race nearly six seconds slower than Maze and score four valuable World Cup points.
In Winterberg, Germany, World Cup titleholder Alexander Zubkov won his fourth consecutive four-man bobsled race to extend his lead in the season standings.
Pushed by Alexey Negodaylo, Dmitry Trunenkov and Maxim Mokrousov, Zubkov beat World Championship runner-up Maximilian Arndt of Germany and his crew of Alex Mann, Alexander Roediger and Martin Putze by 0.19 seconds.
After four of nine races, Zubkov leads with 900 points. World and Olympic champion Steven Holcomb of Park City, who finished sixth, is second with 788 points. Arndt is third with 722.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Premier League on Wednesday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Tim Abraham for his thoughts and analysis.
"Aston Villa have a mix of young and old in their team but they are struggling for consistency at present. Marc Albrighton and Charles N'Zogbia are both good runners with the ball while Stilian Petrov provides solidity in midfield.
"However, without the injured Darren Bent and the suspended Gabriel Agbonlahor up front, Villa looked toothless at the weekend against Manchester United. The latter is back now though, so they may regain some of that cutting edge."
"McLeish tends to alternate during the game between a 4-4-2 and a 4-2-3-1. Normally you'd have Bent right at the apex of that but it sounds like he's out again. I imagine it will be Agbonlahor up top with three players behind him - normally N'Zogbia, Albrighton and Heskey. But the latter is also doubtful for tomorrow. You may see somebody like Barry Bannan or Stephen Ireland come in there.
"He also likes to have two holding midfielders - usually Chris Herd and Stilian Petrov - but Herd is out so it is a matter of who is going to come in alongside Petrov. I'd expect maybe Delph or Ciaran Clark, who scored twice against Arsenal last year, to come in.
"It's not been a fantastic start for N'Zogbia in truth. Obviously there was a lot of expectations on his shoulders to fill the void left by Ashley Young and Stewart Downing but he's not really hit the heights yet. There have been flashes in the last two or three games where he has started to justify the price tag but he's not quite been the player we all thought he would be when he initially signed. He's not really had a full run of games though, and he has been moved around quite a bit.
"I think when Villa have played the big teams this season, there's always been the feeling about the games that they're more about damage limitation. When they've played the so-called lesser teams it's been a bit more positive and they've gone to try and win the game. They've had a tough run of games recently so the form guide probably doesn't tell the whole story.
"I think McLeish had the reputation [for being more direct] at Birmingham certainly, but he's tried to play football a little bit at Villa. It's not been the greatest football in the world but it's not been as bad as some have made it out to be. At Rangers he was renowned for his attacking football, and to be honest, I think it's all about what players you have at your disposal. He had Zigic at Birmingham, for example. I'd say the football has been more functional rather than long ball myself.
"The one thing they do have is Gabriel Agbonlahor. On his day he can terrorise any defence in the world, it's just whether he's on that day against Arsenal. He's such a maverick kind of player - I remember John Terry saying a few years ago that he absolutely hated playing against him. He's got that raw pace but he's got that unpredictable element as well. I'm not even sure he knows what he's going to do sometimes. He will be the player most likely to be the difference between Villa getting a result and not.
"I don't like backing against the home team but I've got a feeling that Arsenal will win 3-1. It would be nice for Villa, after a couple of goalless games, to hit the score sheet but I can't see past an Arsenal victory."

I've been searching for polymer ivory grips for my P220 without success.
I contacted Paul from DesignerGrips.com <email@example.com> who wants to received 2 or 3 requests for ivory grips before committing to creating a set of molds, due to the time and cost of the molds.
There has to be fellow P220 brothers other than myself who want ivory on their P220.
Paul told that due to the large grips it will probably be around $45 for a solid color, $55 for a plain carbon fiber, and $60 for a reflective carbon fiber.
Please, if your interested contact Paul at firstname.lastname@example.com and let him know your interested.
Thank you

Green Bay Plays League Home Opener Wednesday Night
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Playing its Horizon League home opener at the Resch Center, the Green Bay men's basketball team kicks off a four-game homestand against Loyola on Wednesday at 7 p.m. as it looks to build momentum after a tough road trip to open Horizon League play.
The Phoenix dropped contests at Wright State and Detroit, the only two teams that opened league play with two wins. The Phoenix continued its good defense at Detroit by holding the Titans to just 37.5 percent shooting but were the victims of 42 Detroit free throw attempts.
In the Ramblers, Green Bay welcomes a surprise team but one that is coming off a disappointing home loss to Youngstown State on Saturday. Loyola is led by senior Ben Averkamp, a Wisconsin native who leads the team in scoring (15.9) and rebounding (6.6).
Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) leads the Phoenix and is second in the Horizon League in points per game (16.5). Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) had tremendous success in two wins against the Ramblers last season, averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: For fans unable to make it to the Resch Center on Wednesday night, the contest will be televised live on Time Warner Cable's Sports32. Chris Roth (play-by-play) will be on the call alongside Phoenix Hall of Famer Jeff Nordgaard (color analyst) for the broadcast, which will also be streamed live on the Horizon League Network.
The game will also be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM/1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Cordero Barkley. Live stats will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. INSIDE THE SERIES: Wednesday will mark the 40th meeting all-time between Loyola and Green Bay, with the Phoenix holding a 24-15 advantage in the series. Green Bay swept two meetings last season, including a 73-70 overtime victory on Feb. 23 when Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) made a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer. The Phoenix is 14-4 all-time at home with five victories in a row at the Resch Center.
2. HOME SWEET HOME: Green Bay is 5-1 at home this season after the victory over Marquette. In the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, the Phoenix is 27-7 at the Resch Center, including a 17-3 mark since the start of the 2011-12 season. Sykes is averaging 21.0 points per game and is 49-of-57 from the free-throw line at home this season.
3. MAYS DAYS: Sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) has started the past six games and has been among the team's most consistent players. The 6-foot-9 Chicago native is coming off a career-high 18 points at Detroit, making 8-of-9 shots including five dunks. Mays is averaging 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocked shots and is shooting 66.7 percent (26-39) during that stretch with 11 dunks.
• LAST SEASON'S MEETINGS: Green Bay swept a pair of games against Loyola a season ago, with a 57-47 win at the Resch Center on Dec. 3 and a 73-70 overtime win on Feb. 23 in Chicago. Green Bay big men Alec Brown and Brennan Cougill combined to average 30 points and 18 rebounds per contest, making 23-of-40 shots from the field. The Phoenix shot 48.3 percent (14-29) from long range while Loyola hit just 26.1 percent (6-23).
• HOMETOWN HOOPIN': Sykes has had tremendous success in his last two meetings against schools from his hometown of Chicago, with both leading to Horizon League Player of the Week honors. Last season, in the regular season finale against UIC, Sykes scored a then career-high 27 points. He bettered that outburst in this season's opener, scoring 31 points in a 72-67 win over Chicago State. In his career, Sykes has led the Phoenix to a 5-0 record against his hometown schools, averaging 16.2 points.
• FREE AND EASY: Green Bay is the top free-throw shooting team in the Horizon League, and its 76.2 percent from the line is also tied for 10th nationally. The Phoenix is 247-324 on the season and has four players with 10 or more attempts shooting at least 85 percent for the season - Kam Cerroni (25-25), Daniel Turner (11-12), Brennan Cougill (31-35) and Keifer Sykes (75-88).
• RECORD STREAK: With two free throws against Detroit, Cerroni broke the program's record for consecutive free throws made. Cerroni has now connected on 40-straight free throws, breaking a record of 38 held by Matt Rohde (2002-03). Cerroni is 25-of-25 from the line in 2012-13 and his last miss came on Feb. 4, 2012 against Milwaukee. Cougill has made 20 free throws in a row, with his last miss coming on Nov. 17, 2012.
• HANDLE THE ROCK: Since a forgettable opener in which he committed eight turnovers without an assist, Sykes has been terrific handling the ball. With a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, Sykes has 56 assists compared to just 28 turnovers in the past 15 games. In addition to ranking second in the conference in points, he is seventh in assists (3.7) and eight in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.5).
• SULTAN OF STROKE: Junior Sultan Muhammad (Grand Rapids, Mich.) had the best game of his young Phoenix career against Illinois-Springfield. The junior college transfer made his first five three-pointers, all in the first half, en route to scoring a career-high 21 points. After two more threes at Wright State, Muhammad ranks sixth in the Horizon League in three-point percentage at 41.9 percent (26-62) and is averaging 7.1 points per game, good for fourth on the squad.

I'm still learning the ropes of the Star Wars prop universe, but is this a good deal for a Darth Vader? I'm aware it's missing the eye pieces, but I found those for sale on Ebay as well, just from a different vendor. I don't mind getting some auto shop to put a coat of gloss black on it either.
I have no plans on wearing it, it would solely be for display on a stand in my office. He's asking 129 which isnt bad.

New state laws have required Foothill, De Anza and all other California community colleges to make significant changes in the assignment of registration priority. The new mandate rewards students who make progress toward their educational goals and ensures that classes are available for students who are pursuing job training, completing the associate degree and/or preparing for university transfer. Watch a video explanation.
Helping Students Succeed: Called the Student Success & Support Program (3SP) that is part of the Student Success Act of 2012, the new criteria comply with California Title 5 regulations and are informed by research on factors that result in student success.
Beginning with registration for the 2014 Fall Quarter, new, fully matriculated* students who have completed orientation and assessment, and have filed an official education plan, as well as continuing students in good academic standing who have not exceeded 100 units (not including basic English, math or English as a second language) receive registration priority over students who do not meet these criteria. In addition, students who have earned 150 or more degree-applicable quarter units at Foothill or De Anza colleges, or who are on academic or progress probation for two consecutive terms will not be permitted to register until other students have had the opportunity to do so.
To receive an early fall registration date, complete these steps:
• Attend an orientation session or register and complete a summer CNSL 5 course.
• Complete assessment tests for English and math.
• Meet with a counselor or register and complete a summer CNSL 5 course to create your education plan.
The college also awards higher registration priority to continuing and returning students who enroll full time in 12 or more units.
Reform in the Community College: The new laws are the legislative cornerstone of the California Community Colleges reform initiative to improve educational outcomes for students and better prepare the workforce needed for California's economy. The legislation, SB 1456, ushers in some of the most significant improvements to the state's community college system in more than a decade. Learn more.
Schedule a counseling appointment for an educational plan, or university transfer, career and personal counseling.
*You are considered fully matriculated when you complete the required orientation and assessment, and develop an education plan with a counselor.

My name is Sean, and I am a beginning beekeeper from Chapel Hill, NC (where I recently finished graduate school). I decided wanted to start with top-bar hives, and this blog follows my experiences with my hives and bees.
RachelUnfortunately those who have only worked with langstroth hives dont want to even think about anything new.
Rachel The thing is a langstroth box is entirely MAN MADE!!! What you are trying to do is let the bees be bees, naturally.
What you are trying to do is let the bees be bees, naturally. Don't give up, remember, even with the "tried and true" it is still an experiment.
We have 2 langstroth hives in our yard, it is not unusual to have to cut them apart to get them out of the box.
To BjornBee.I am sorry that I have hit such a tender nerve with you. I went to your web site, interestingly enough your responses to me are contrary to your site. I bow to the fact that you have done tbh's for five years and have a greater knowledge along these lines than I. However, it has indeed been proven that, yes, man has built the tbh hive, but the bees do what they do best naturally. Cell size is smaller, the bees themselves are a touch smaller, and disease is less. So TBH's are indeed a more natural way (less man made or directed) to "manage" bees. I am only responding to explain my stance. This is not something that i will continue to debate. Its not instructional to anyone.Again, I am sorry for giving you the impression that my experiences are of a greater value than yours, they are not. They are only our experiences here in western NY., and as always, location we have found dictates everything.Keith
the time it would take me with the hive open to fix.

Some beeks will recommend that you remove the old queen, if you can find her, along with the new colony you are establishing. The reason being that the old/mother colony will be in better shape to produce a new queen than the new one, but either way can work for getting a new colony going, especially if, like me, your eyesite isn't so good ;). Good luck, let us all know how it goes.thomas
Well, if your husband won't let you spend money on the girls, perhaps it's time to get a new husband??? The nerve of some people.... :-DSplitting a hive is always fun, at least for me. Pam will occasionally pop down to my apiary, stand around and count and say something like, "When did you get more hives?" To which I respond, "They just showed up one day..." I've managed to go from 4 my first year, to 15 my second. Who knows where I'll end up this year. I'd also like to try my hand at grafting, but I fear that will have to wait until next year. My ultimate goal is to supply myself with my own bees and queens, plus be in a position to help any other beeks in my area of the state if they would need a queen or two in an situation such as yours.

- - GSD and kids (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/development-socialization/428578-gsd-kids.html)
GSD and kids
Annie is our GSD, and she is 7 months old. First, let me start by saying she is incredibly smart and a fantastic dog at home. She loves my kids and our cat and will play with them all day. She knows all her basic commands and is obedient at home all day long. However, when we go out in public, or to the parks, it is like she looses everything she knows. She kind of goes "stupid".
Every since she was 3 months old she would growl at any of my kids' friends that came over. The kids would be running by or dancing around and Annie would growl and lunge. As long as the kids' friends were sitting and still, Annie was ok with them being in our home. At 6 months old we realized we couldn't risk the liability of Annie nipping or actually biting a child, we sent her to obiedience school, in hopes of Annie working with strangers would help her realize not all other people are bad. After 5 weeks at training, we went to pick her up where she excelled in her training. The trainer said she is super high energy and really needs a job. (we have been told this multiple times) We spent several hours learning what we needed to learn in order to continue her success at home.
We got home from picking Annie up on Thursday, and took her to the park on Saturday. As I sat at the table with her to watch my kids play, I was horrified and totally embarrassed at how Annie acted. She aggressively barked AND lunged at kids running by, no matter how many times I offered treats. I tried moving further away from the kids playing and Annie whined and then aggressively barked at all the kids. I know some of the other mothers were getting a little nervous, which is why we eventually left. As long as people are sitting still and not running or jumping, Annie is fine.
Has anyone ever had this problem? I honestly don't think Annie would actually bite? But, I would NEVER want to find out I am wrong. I really want to find a way to correct this behavior, in order to keep my Annie girl.
Any and all opinions and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks so much in advance,
What kind of training did they do with her? I'd find a trainer knowledgable with gsds who can work with you and your dog when the behavior occurs.
They did socialization and basic obedience. The training we sent her to works very closely with and trains for the Wounded Warrior project, and also trains narcotics and peanut allergy detection dogs. The trainer said she was a pro at places like Home Depot. I am assuming he didn't take her to busy places with kids moving.
I can't imagine having to find her a new home, but I also can't risk her proving me wrong thinking she wouldn't bite. I am just at a loss.
I think Nigel is right, you need a trainer that knows how to work with GSD's and will work with you IN the home where the issues are. It may be a management issue or it may be a training issue - getting a professional in that can give you help will be a big boost in taking the right steps to having a safe and happy household for both canine and human.
In the meantime I would have the dog leashed to an adult at all times while the children are around and supervised.

I can't really offer you any advice but I can at least share our experience with you. Eugene is 9 months old and is friendly to other dogs and adult strangers. But he does not like kids. We do not have any so it was a bit of a challenge to properly socialize him to them. A trainer friend taught us about fear aggression, LAT (look at that training), and counter conditioning. She also really stressed how important it is to not allow him to be corrected for this behavior as it could potentially make it a lot worse. We also have an obedience trainer but she doesn't seem to be savvy in this area.
For the most part it's been very helpful, he's been to the park and on the sidewalks with no reaction to the kids but did have a relapse this weekend and barked and growled at a little girl. Maybe he was having a bad day, I don't know but we'll definitely be doing more training.
I'm not experienced enough to say your situation is the same as ours but I just wanted you to know I understand how terrifying and embarrassing it is to have your pup act like that around children. We wonder what will happen when the time comes for us to have our own.

Did this training place give you enough training time yourself, to teach you how to get the same results with your pup? It sounds like you need to get more 1-on-1 time with the trainer - but I know being in a Home Depot is nothing at all like a park. I prefer a hardware store myself, lol. Good luck with your pup :)
There's really no way your dog is going to be desensitized to children by sending it away to a trainer for a few weeks (or even a couple of months). On top of that, even if the trainer knew what they were doing, they probably kept the dog under threshold and thus were able to slowly work on getting them ok with kids at a distance, maybe even slowly working on getting closer... however, your situation is much different. Your dog is being pushed way past what it can handle... as having kids IN the house jumping around and making a ton of noise (as kids typically do) is really disconcerting to your dog. The best thing you can do is find a trainer that will work with you in the home as well as teach you the different (I'd highly recommend finding a positive reinforcement trainer for this kind of work) techniques for working with your dog outside of the home. This kind of socialization/desensitization is a long term training effort. In the meantime, please be vigilant not to set your dog up for failure. If there are kids in the house, take the dog on a walk, remove them to a different room, etc etc... but do not allow them to be near one another. It's stressful for the dog, and potentially dangerous for the children!

Thank you all so much. I was recommended a book to read, which I did, as well as find an in home trainer, which I haven't yet. The book, Behavior Adjustment Training by Grisha Stewart, really gave me some insight and a solid positive training technique. I believe with hard work and time, we can get our girl through this.
My 1yr old female does this as well, but only at firer glance with any kids, after she sees they're not a threat, she can relax and play hours on end with any kid. But it's always that first 10-20 seconds she barks growls and hackles go up, I practice her being around my 5 yr old nephew- they play great together and my nephew has played with her since I have had her.

Johnny Hunkins - Glad to see your next project car is an underappreciated Mopar A-body. The SoCal Mopar car club I belong to built a '68 Valiant as our charity project car in 2008. When complete, our "Valiant 400" featured a 400" big block/727/8-3/4 drivetrain, RMS AlterKtion front and Street Lynx rear suspension, custom paint and new Legendary interior. All the proceeds from the car benefited the California School For The Deaf in Riverside, CA.Email me your email address and I'll forward pics of the finished car and our club website where you can see under-construction pics.
I read your piece today and thought I'd see what was on Craigslist here in Seattle,I found 2 67 valiants for $3000&$3500.Both were 2dr slant 6's one was a stick,the other an auto.They are out there if you look.thanks Irv
After receiving my issue of PHR today and seeing all the engines from the Engine Masters Challenge, I thought it would be great to see the engine for the Valiant built as if it were going to compete in the Challenge. We could see how it scored and then watch to see how it survives with real street use. I love the Challenge, but we don't see much of what happens to the engines afterwards. I am all about anything Mopar and am glad to see you building one in your(our) magazine. Popular Hot Rodding is my favorite magazine and the only one I subscribe to. Keep up the great articles.
That's precisely what I tried to talk Johnny into at this years EMC. I fielded the 417 stroker smallblock Mopar at this years event. With 10.3 compression and EZE-EFI I thought it was a natural for Project Valiant--Oh and 550+hp and 540 ft/lbs would have sufficed I think. I really tried to talk him into it but to no avail. Johnny was set on a big block build. Maybe next year then. J.Rob (team SKMFX)
Y'know, just to stir the pot up some...mopar action magazine ran a valiant (effort) called the Green Brick in one lap of america...their website may still detail the build on a car that went up against vipers and ferarris...
Just because you can't do it...doesn't mean its impossible

What's Next for Telecom Policy in a Digital Era?
March 10, 2014
The Center for Business and Public Policy at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business will host the event "The Evolution of Communications Policy: Fresh Thinking for 2014 and Beyond" on March 12 at the National Press Club.
Join us for a discussion with regulators, consumer advocates, businesspeople, and academics that explores the end of the analog era and the search for a modernized approach to telecommunications policy in the 21st century.
Today's communications policy was forged by the Communications Act of 1934. Decades of technological advances have rendered this ancient regulatory structure obsolete, but as we usher in an era defined by increased digital connectivity, policy tools have barely changed since the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In the 18 years since, the digital economy has grown at a dizzying pace. Now Congress is launching a new effort to overhaul the laws regulating the country's telephone and Internet infrastructures.
8:30 a.m.: Registration and breakfast begins
9 a.m.: Welcoming Remarks: J. Bradford Jensen, Senior Policy Scholar, Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University
9:10 a.m.: Opening Keynote: Jonathan Sallet, Acting General Counsel, FCC

Being 9 months old may have some influence on this situation. Keep up your hard work, don't give up, keep researching and you will find what works. Congratulations on the beginning of a very rewarding relationship.
|Welcome! Look for training clubs/classes. Classes are a good way train her in a controlled environment with the added distractions. Training in a sterile environment first so your pup understands what's being asked, then slowly add more distractions to proof your training.
|Welcome to the forum. You will find tons of helpful information here. Do a search and you can find a thread on just about any question you may have.

Help, my GSD might be smarter than me
Hi! You have no idea how happy I am to find this forum. I have been reading for days, I might have to quit my job so I can keep reading all this information. I just joined and thought I better introduce myself, or better yet my German Shepherd Molly.
Molly is my 9 month old German Shepherd. Someone gave her to me as a "gift" at a time in my life that was pretty awful. They thought I needed a puppy to grow old with and who later down the road could also protect me if needed. She has had quite the life since I got her and has had more adventures with me in the past 6 months than most dogs ever have. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing!
I have owned lots of dogs over the years but this is my first German Shepherd and she is by far the smartest and highest energy dog I have ever had. Sometimes I wonder what I got myself into. Owning a dog is always a responsibility but owning her seems like a much bigger responsibility. I love her to death and am not complaining and would never consider giving her away but I recently realized I need help or direction with training her. I have done a pretty good job with basic obedience (or so I thought) and she is actually perfect when it is just the 2 of us (which is 98% of the time) but when we are out in public
she seems to forget or just not care about the obedience. It may have been cute to strangers when she was 3 months old and jumping on them but she tends to scare people now, just by her size and breed. I need help on training her on how to be around other people and animals.
I was told she comes from working lines and this is different than a GSD who comes from show lines or American lines. Is that true? If it is, is that a good or bad thing?
I could go on and on with questions but I bet I can find my answers all over the forum. I just wanted to introduce us and say thanks for all the good information here.

Beck crops video to absurdly claim "the mask is coming off" a plot to take over the country
Research ››› ››› MATT MCLAUGHLIN & KATE CONWAY
Glenn Beck played cropped video of a speech by Green for All CEO Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins to suggest she admitted that there is a "plan to take over the country." In fact, the full context of her speech reveals that Ellis-Lamkins' agenda is one of equality -- not government takeover.

Beck: "They do have a plot, a plan to take over the country. And the mask is coming off." On the June 10 edition of his Fox News program, Beck played cropped video of a speech by Ellis-Lamkins to suggest that "the mask is coming off" the left's purported plot to take over America.
From Fox News' Glenn Beck:
BECK: The CEO of Green for All, here she is. She's a big player in Crime Inc. She sits on the board of Emerald Cities. She spoke at this America's Future Now. Here's what she had to say when she brought up my name.
ELLIS-LAMKINS [video clip]: When Glenn Beck started talking about me, someone said, "Are you angry?" And what I said to him is, "Absolutely, we have a plot to take over this country. Absolutely we do." It's not a hidden agenda.
BECK: Nope, it's not. It's not. Nope. It's right out in the open. And she's just like you. She is. She's just like you. Yeah. She's just like the American family of the 1950s. See, this is what it is. The crazy people, the people, the people just like you, and the man. See what's happening? They do have a plot, a plan to take over the country. And the mask is coming off. But will anyone join us in this conversation out in the light of day?
Green for All's stated agenda is that "all people deserve equality." At the America's Future Now! conference on June 7, from which Beck excerpted the video shown on his program, Ellis-Lamkins explained that the "agenda" of Green for All is that "all people deserve equality" -- not, as Beck suggested, a sinister plot to take over the country. After sharing her personal hopes that her nieces will have a "future as bright as someone who grew up in a community that had better opportunity," Ellis-Lamkins went on to state [Ellis-Lamkins begins speaking at 39:15 in the video. The portion aired by Beck -- highlighted in bold below -- begins around 43:30]:
ELLIS-LAMKINS: And so, you know, I thought about, well, who are we? Well, we believe that a coalition of working-class white men, people of color, environmentalists, that we're capable of change. We recognize there's honor in being a coal miner in West Virginia, and we don't blame the coal miner. But we recognize that the needs of the coal miner, of the white West Virginian coal miner, and the black woman working in Chevron in Richmond, that they have the same needs, and an agenda can meet both of their needs. That's who we are.
You know, I have a -- you know, I come out of the labor a moment so I am used to people yelling at me. And so -- members, politicians -- it doesn't hurt my feelings. So when Glenn Beck started talking about me, someone said, "Are you angry? He said you want to take over the world." Like maybe we shouldn't talk about it for awhile. And what I said to him is, "Absolutely, we have a plot to take over this country. Absolutely, we do."
It's not a hidden agenda. It's an agenda that says that all people deserve equality, that white coal miners in West Virginia and black women in Richmond, California, want the same thing. What they want is for us to divide ourselves. What they want is for us to say that one is better than another. That it's immigration versus coal mining, that it's this versus that. And what we say is no, because our vision of America has all of us, not some of us. That when we think about what green is, it is green for all, not for some. That's the difference.

01 zx3 manual trans won't go into gear
Hi i'm new to the forum here. I've searched and read for a few days now and haven't found an answer to my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. That being said here is my problem:
My g/f's 01 zx3 (140k miles) has been very reliable and running fine up until this point. We were driving in a parking lot when i stopped and went to go again and it was very difficult to put into gear almost like driving without using the clutch. I parked the car at the store and came back and it drove just fine. A few miles later it started to be very difficult to shift again for the rest of the drive home. The next morning the car will start and idle just fine but when the clutch is pressed it will not go into any gear. When the car is off it will go into gear just fine. If I try to start it while in gear, the engine turns over and shakes like its stalling but never starts. The clutch was not slipping before, although it is 4-5 years old. Also the pedal still feels normal as does the shifter. I checked the shift cables and they are still intact.
Any suggestions?
I had this on my 1991 escort. What I found was that the needle bearings in the pilot bearing came out and caused the input shaft to get seized into the pilot bearing in the crankshaft. So the clutch felt normal, I even could see the slave cylinder move normally against the clutch. I could shift with the engine off, if I was already moving I could shift gears by matching rpms. Now Im not saying its the bearing for sure but I would bet money on something with the clutch or related part. Sadly Im sure you have to pull trans and engine apart to look inside.
Agreed. sounds like a clutch. Taking it out is the one certain way to see if its the clutch or something internal.
'Fraid it does sound like a clutch issue. One similar issue another member had that would explain the intermittent nature of the problem was a clutch disc that had a piece of friction material break off and wedge between the surfaces locking it up partially.
When something like this happens it's likely almost worn out anyways, so there prob. wasn't much life left before it started slipping anyways.
Give it a couple short tries starting it in gear with the clutch depressed. IF this is what happened you MIGHT be lucky & it's just a small piece loose that'll drop out & the thing will work again for a while....
the MTX-75 doesn't use a pilot bearing so it isn't that.
Does the car shift normally when the engine isn't running? If so it sounds like a clutch issue. Try bleeding the clutch first and see what happenes.

Cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is a hot market. Amazon Web Services, now five years old, drives a lot of attention and customer volume, but the vendor strategists at enterprise-facing providers such as IBM, HP, AT&T and Verizon have been building and delivering IaaS offerings. As I've studied the market, I've heard wildly different types of requirements from buyers and quite a range of offerings from service providers. Yet much of the industry dialogue is about one central idea of what IaaS is – think that's wrong headed. I found that there were really two buyer types: 1) informal buyers outside of the IT operations/data center manager organizations, such as engineers, scientists, marketing executives, and developers, and 2) formal buyers, the IT operations and data center managers responsible for operating applications and maintaining infrastructure.
With this idea in mind, I set out to test the views of IT infrastructure buyers in the Forrsights Hardware Survey, Q3 2010 and learned that:

A dog that is cared for and a loved member of the family will protect it's home and people to the best of it's ability.
Most well bred Shepherds possess a strong instinct to protect, and what you are asking for, I think, is a family pet that will alert you to intruders. The laws covering protection dogs in Canada are sketchy, and not in the dogs favor. Unless you are working in LE or for a K9 company the last thing you need is a dog that bites. In Sask the property laws are a bit more in the dogs favor but with the recent rise in breed bans across the province I would be cautious.
If you chose to you can use a dog as a deterrent, and it works well, but 95% of the PPD's in Canada are sold to security companies for a reason.
Regardless of training or certification if your dog ever bites someone off your property, no matter the circumstance, without a lawyer and liability insurance it's toast. As a company if we could prove that the dog was on duty, under control and acting in defense of it's handler, we stood a reasonable shot at having it ruled a justified bite. Otherwise the outcome was not pleasant.
yesterday on 1010 , a Canadian talk show the topic of nuisance false alarms on home security systems. Too many of them, wasting resources and time of the police that respond. They said from now on at the third response , false alarm , there would be a charge - about $170 .
They interviewed a police officer who said your best bet is to "get a dog" .
but if you want a dog like this it takes more work and you got to get lots of experience so it doesnt end in disaster
the dogs best in civil protection ive seen dont usually have calm temperaments you leave them alone all day without work they will eat your house, again not always just from what ive seen, its a lot of work, a lot of dog, a lot will walk all over you.
for protection you got to learn how to train high
If i were you look into some strong show lines, see if you can get a really good german show line, I know it sounds like bad advice but there is the odd rare german show line i have seen with extreme bad nasty civil side, they seem more calm than a working dog but just have a really strong civil side to them. I don't know any breeders that breed for it but just seen the odd few around. The ones I saw were imports from zcech.
Look at the core temperament of the dog what his or her drives are like, make sure the parents if you can are good at it also. Some dogs are just very quick to react to a threat with a lot of aggression. Naturally.
IF you just want a dog that will act like a good gsd then any well bred dog can do.
A dog that is ready to nail someone if he or she feels threaten does not always know the meter man is a good guy lol
Home protection gsd
Hello! I left a post here before but it has disappeared. I must have hit the wrong button. can anyone recommend a breeder that pretrains gsd for home protection? Or a breeder that will train a puppy it has sold after it has grown a bit? I want a good family dog that will watch over my house. I simply dont know how to train beyond the basics. Is it possible to have a very calm demeanor and train it to protect?. I had someone tell me no but i dont beleive that. Just because a dog is calm doesn't mean it can't bark, grown and intimidate. I certainly don't need a high level of training. But the world is getting nutty and it worries me. Preferably in Canada.

Transgender lawmaker resigns over controversy stemming from felony conviction
"I didn't want to have to do this," said Rep.-elect Stacie Marie Laughton, D-Nashua. "There's been a lot of people that have said stay strong, keep your head up, stay in it. It's going to be difficult to be able to do that in this upcoming session, and to possibly face expulsion."
Laughton said she made the decision Tuesday after being contacted by state Democratic leaders, who urged her to consider her options given potential legal challenges that could question the legitimacy of her candidacy.
"No one asked me to resign, but they were asking me to seriously consider all of the different things that have been presented to me, and they urged me to make a final decision sooner rather than later."
Laughton, 28, was elected last month to represent Nashua's Ward 4.
"I don't think it would look good for the state," she said. "I don't think it would look good for the party, and I don't think that the citizens would like to see their beloved representative-elect be expelled."

Hey, Myobi. What type of shadow issues do you have? Is it the flickering or are they jumping, are they pixelated or maybe all three?
Something, Something, Something, Dark Side.
This should do the trick for you + give you a few extra fps
I'm assuming you fiddled with config files before so I'll just point you in the right direction.
First file that we want to edit is Skyrim.ini. Add or edit these two lines under [Display].
This will solve the jumping/glitchy shadows.
Now we want smoother, less pixelated shadows. To do that, go into Skyrimprefs.ini. Add or edit the following lines under [Display].
Make sure that all "ShadowMapResolution" lines are edited to a value of "4096", there are more than 2 lines defining the shadow resolution.
The only thing you have to keep in mind is that after the config files are edited, never go into the games options tab and change anything.
For no apparent reason at all this causes the values to jump back to default and you once again have the blocky no good for nothing shadows.
Edit: I can see you went offline, but fuck it, spent a few precious minutes writing this beforehand so better post it :>

I installed SkyRe, but 2 things in combat are ruining it for me:
1-Walking cancels the attack animation
2-Enemy damage always comes at the start of the animation rather than when it's supposed to, making blocking by reflex impossible.
This is not how it's supposed to work, is it?
I have the bug where underwater I can't see anything; the screen goes greenish grey until I come to the surface. Unfortunately I am not able to download anything for awhile so is there a non-mod way to fix this?
Also, does Riften really have any decent quests apart from the Thieves Guild? Only been there a tiny bit but so far the amount of interesting quests there (minus Thieves Guild) seems pretty underwhelming compared to the other 4 major cities.

I would say you have conflicting mods, or you could even have a bad load order on your mods. If BOSS doesn't show you any issues, then I would go to the page for each of your mods to see if they have any known issues with other mods.

[/COLOR]i hate to put one post right after the other.... but every so often i get this game breaking bug where my talents stop working. i was playing a dual wield character and dual flurry stopped working, and so did the damage buff perk. i've got this before in the past and i've noticed an odd trend to it. it usually only happens when i play a redguard, and once when i played an imperial with imperial gear. anyone know what might be the problem?

So on SkyRE it gives you a "respec potion". Is that supposed to just remove your perks put in trees and that's it or is it supposed to refund them? I've tried with 5 different saved games from ones where I cheated to ones where I didn't on vanilla and with SkyRE running and it doesn't seem to refund the points.

Cape Canaveral, Fla. • A 150-foot-wide asteroid will come remarkably close to Earth next week, even closer than high-flying communication and weather satellites. It will be the nearest known flyby for an object of this size.
But don't worry. Scientists promise the megarock will be at least 17,100 miles away when it zips past next Friday.
"No Earth impact is possible," Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said Thursday.
Even the chance of an asteroid-satellite run-in is extremely remote, Yeomans and other scientists noted. A few hundred satellites orbit at 22,300 miles, higher than the asteroid's path, although operators are being warned about the incoming object for tracking purposes.

International Travel
All program participants must have a passport that is valid for the entire length of their stay abroad. Some countries require you to hold a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after the date you enter the country, regardless of the intended length of stay. If you do not already have a passport, make sure to apply for one early, as standard processing times can take 4-6 weeks. For any questions about passports, including how to travel if you have dual citizenship, consult the U.S. Department of State.
Depending on your citizenship, the country you are traveling to, and the length and nature of your program, country-specific student visas may or may not be required. For most short-term summer or winter programs, visas are not specifically required, but for semester or yearlong programs in several countries, you will have to apply for a student visa in that country. The process of obtaining a visa varies highly by country: some countries do not require a visa for U.S. citizens staying under a certain number of days, some countries charge significant fees or have long review periods for visas, and for some visas you will need to consider re-entry permits which are critical if you will be planning to leave the country and re-enter for any reason during your program. Be sure to check your specific study abroad program's information as well as the U.S. Department of State's country-specific visa information for entry and exit requirements for U.S. citizens.

Adapting While Abroad
Culture shock is real and most students do experience some level of culture shock, even if it is very small. The 4 stages of culture shock can be described as follows:
- The Honeymoon: You have arrived and are fascinated by the language, the people, and the food. You are so excited, not even jet-lag can hold you down.
- Frustration: You become critical of your host country and the culture because you cannot understand it or are confused by it.
- Adjustment: After some time has passed, you begin to feel more comfortable and competent in the culture. You have positive feelings about interacting with the host nationals.
- Adaptation: You have a deep understanding of the role of the culture in people's lives and can accept differences. You interact effectively in the host culture and you may have adopted some of their values and customs and made them your own.
Our best advice is to be patient with yourself; culture shock does not last forever. If you need more information, here is a good resource to further help you understand and identify culture shock.
Why you should study abroad
The world is quickly becoming more interconnected, students who wish to be apart of this movement should study abroad, below are articles explaining the benefits of studying abroad.

College Central Network Online Posting System
College Central Network is the place to go for all of your job and internship needs. Employers have posted several full-time and part-time jobs as well as internship opportunities for you. In addition, CCN has several informational resources to help you make the most of your job and internship search. Please take a moment to set up an account to explore all the possibilities.
Strong Interest Inventory (self-assessment)
Want to find the right career for you? One that aligns with your interests and personality? This self assessment not only helps you learn more about yourself, but will give you an idea of the right career path for you.
Online Resume Resources
A resume is the first essential component to the job search process. It's not only a snap shot of your academic and professional experiences, but its also your ticket to an interview. Employers are now inundated with resumes from candidates. Learn how to make your resume standout so it gets noticed.
Job Search Letters (explanation and samples)
During the job/internship search process, it will be necessary to utilize several different types of professional letters. Employers do actually read the letters so it is extremely important that they are error-free. It is strongly recommended that you have more than one person proofread your materials. Below are explanations and samples of each type of letter.
Cover Letters
A cover letter is an introduction to your resume and the first document an employer reads. It is a way to assess your writing skills while you clearly and concisely explain the position in which you are interested and how you're the right person for the job. To view sample cover letters, click on:
- http://jobsearch.about.com/od/jobsearchglossary/g/coverletter.htm
- http://www.resumecoverletters.org/examples
Prospecting Letter (also called Letter of Interest of Letter of Inquiry)
A prospecting letter is sent to an employer to see if they are hiring but have not advertised a specific position. This is done most often when a prospective employee has a significant interest in a certain company. The content of the letter should include the reason(s) why you are so attracted to the organization and how you are the right fit for them.

- http://internships.about.com/od/coverlettertipssamples/a/sampleprospect.htm
Offer Rejection Letters
If you have been offered a position and choose to not accept it, be sure to let the employer know in a courteous manner. Writing a letter to let them know that you will not be accepting their position is the professional thing to do. Never say anything negative about the employer or the organization. Just be brief and to the point.
- http://www.quintcareers.com/sample_declining_letter.html
- http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/634/07/
Offer Letters
Once you verbally accept a job offer, it is a good idea to write a letter of acceptance and send it to the employer. This shows you are professional and have a commitment to the challenge. In the letter you should politely accept the offer and outline the details discussed such as salary, benefits and first day of employment.
- http://career-advice.monster.com/in-the-office/starting-a-new-job/job-accpetance-letter/article.aspx
Thank You Letter
Incorporating thank you letters into the interview process is always a positive thing. The purpose of this type of letter is to thank the interviewer for her/his time, to reiterate your interest in the position, to include anything you forgot to mention in the interview, and to remind the employer why you are the qualified individual for the position. A great many people don't take the time to write thank you notes, but those who do usually get the jobs!
Interview Tips
The interview is arguably the most important part of the job search process. Its not just a reiteration of the information on your resume. Rather, an employer is looking to see if you will be the right fit for their organization. Do you know what to wear? Which questions they will ask? How to research the place of potential employment beforehand? Knowing the answer to these and other questions can ease the anxiety of the interviewing stage.
Internship Information
U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division
Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under The Fair Labor Standards Act
Paid vs. Unpaid Internships: The U.S. Department of Labor's Fair Labor Standards Act
The Career Development Center at Felician University highly recommends that employers pay interns for the hours they work. However, if your organization chooses to provide unpaid internships, it is recommended that the Fair Labor Standards Act be reviewed:
- Unpaid internships must be bona fide educational experiences that enhance classroom learning.
- The Career Development Center strongly suggests that if hourly payment is impossible, your organization pay for travel expenses or cover any other costs the intern may incur while involved in this experience.
The following six criteria must be applied when determining the validity of the educational aspect of an unpaid internship:
- The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
- The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
- The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
- The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
- The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; and
- The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship

Installed my chin fairing and reaper front fender.
Quote from: kreed020 on Dec 26, 2012, 06:56:25 PMInstalled my chin fairing and reaper front fender.
Got my Cobra Fi2000AT fuel processor installed. It lowered the idle and give quicker response to the throttle, almost caught me by surprise. Still have backfire on decel. I need to chech my exhaust connections and make sure there aren't any leaks. Anyone else still have backfire on decel and fixes? Running Freedom Performance Sharp Curve Radius pipes.
Saturday- Changed the gear oil, plugs and cleaned the air filter. Then rode it to meet my son to play racquetball. On my way home I noticed some nut on a bike riding without a headlight in the dark. Then when I got home I flipped my high beams on for the next day and realized my high beams were out. I have no idea how long I was riding with them out, but it would've only been during the day. I never did get the loud noise everyone keeps mentioning when the battery isn't drawing enough power.Sunday- Changed out my headlight bulb with the one from my old headlight. Also did some other stuff to it, but am waiting 'til I'm done to reveal it. So far I'm really liking it.
Installed some more bling. Tappet covers and brake caliper covers.
Thanks fellas! Yes the tappet covers are Kury's. They look really cool but fit kind of funny on the bike. I might need to do some modifiications so they fit a bit better.

Late goose is coming to an end I'm all put away for the year. Anybody have any good stories? With the low water I did minimal bay hunting and spent most of my time at fish point WMA. Lots of pressure but good times were had throughout the season. Couple of my buddies went swimming but I stayed dry.
My best day was at the end of October just before a storm front. I couldn't get anyone to go so I went by myself. Picked a field away from the guys with fresh water. Got a teal first thing in the morning, should of had 2. Then at about 9 the rain started and the mallards started to move. Got 3 singles in about 15 min then the lightning started and the birds quit so I quit. Had a beautiful sunrise to top it off.
