Okay, thanks for all the suggestions. Because, Isabella was introduced as a second dog in the household certain behavior's with Nelson already existed. Bella goes to her crate on her own now - as her cool down place (door open). As far as someone at the front door, not yet. Yesterday, was bad. A jelly jar on the counter was knocked off by Bella and I did the clean up. Bella was under the dining room table chomping on a pretty large piece of glass, I discovered after the mess was cleaned up. See, she thought it was an ice cube > ? I opened her mouth, laid her on her back and looked, no damage whatsoever. As far as exercise, she is at 80%, meaning if we do more, it's already close to the edge. At 5:00 or 6:00 PM, this is when Bella and Nelson have their mock fighting time, just about every night. They play tug a war, Bella is being taught to growl, by Nelson, and they run. So ideally, this should be outside, but that is not possible until the move occurs this summer. Tethering was done at an earlier stage of Bella's life. She looks for approval, but when the wild side kicks in, it's go time and she needs an upper arm cross block to the head. My other GSD's did not have this drive factor. She leaps in a nano second. So, it's not perfect, we work everyday. There are a few thing's I am addressing, regarding her training, but she is a puppy in an adult sized body, with the brain of a 5 month old dog, who absolutely will defend her position, and yes, when she is a bad girl, she know's it. Some dogs are not allowed on the furniture, this went out the window 7 seven years ago, because my wife always' had her dog Spankie right next to her, wherever she was, and I had to deal with keeping a happy wife and a happy home, or it's off to the RV for me ! We are coping well, here !
Blessed are the owner's of the dog's we love !

A side note about the "Go to your place" command that Selzer recommended. It's super useful for answering the door also. I put a cot for him with a clear view of the door and taught "Place". That keeps him from crowding the door when you have a visitor.

I will say that, if you have the high drive dog you have portrayed her to be, that retribution (whatever that means) can be rewarding and engaging to the dog if they want a fight. Any attention is rewarding to that dog..so let them earn attention and engagement for doing the right thing.
Not saying not to ever correct the dog but I have found that things you may perceive as negative may not be that way to the dog.
They do mature. But if the puppy's exhuberance is getting people hurt, then you probably need to set some boundaries. I agree with upping the exercise and the training.
Instead of reacting to behavior, tell the dog what you want the dog to do. Before she starts a mad dash, tell her SIT, DOWN. Good girl, Go to your place! Good! Find your toys.
Exercise the brain and the body.
Maybe allowing this dog on the couch at this stage is not a good idea.
And they do grow out of some of the craziness. But you have to be patient, firm, consistent, and all that jazz. Continued training and good leadership and in another 8.5 years, she will be the best dog in the neighborhood.
|no a dog doesn't grow out of misbehaving....
You will get advice from people more experienced than me, but I do have 2 suggestions for you. First, a tired dog is a happy dog--how much exercise is she getting? She should have a place she can safely run and play, and run and play, and run and play... You get the idea.
Second, have you started any obedience training? Until she is dead certain with commands, you can put a tether or a handle on her--a light nylon leash works, or a nylon rope with a knot at the end, something you can step on easily to stop her. When you are sitting down, put the tether under your foot, or even sit on it. This stops the mad dashes through the house, the jumping on the couch, the jumping up on people, all that. You have to be consistent about it, and use a command when you stop her from jumping--"OFF!" And mean it.
And, again, a lot of exercise and learning and exercise will help curb the unwanted behavior in the house.
And, no, this stage doesn't magically disappear at the age of six months... It goes away with a combination of good training, exercise, more exercise, and maturity, anywhere from 18-24 months old. But take heart--you will end up with a great dog, a wonderful companion, but you have to put much effort and love and patience into the process!
Does the GSD grow out of the roughness stage after the age of six months?
Bella, is really playing rough and I am trying to deal with this. She hurt my daughter last night, jumping up on the couch, fast. Today, on a walk, she jumped on a wall on command and pawed me in the face. Tonight, she knocked my wife's glasses off her face again jumping on the couch in a full running tirade. Simple question? Do they grow out of this? Will she after being reprimanded, for not being gentle, be more cautious. Is this a stage of growth. She knocks you down like a train..

Black Pepper Yaki-Udon
I guess most of you are familiar with the two most popular varieties of Japanese noodles. Udon, being the thick wheat type usually served hot with noodle soup in a mildly flavored broth and the other is Soba, which is a thin type made from buckwheat flour usually served either chilled with a dipping sauce, or in hot broth as a noodle soup as well. Anyway, Udon are also great for stir-frying and can be eaten hot or cold. Here, I have prepared a Black Pepper Yaki-Udon cooked with seafood. The noodles were full of flavor from the seafood, cabbage, carrot, black pepper, and dashi. Dashi is a Japanese soup stock that's made from dried kelp and bonito flakes. The dashi used in this recipe is easily available at most Asian grocers. I urge you to try making this delicious Udon dish.
Black Pepper Yaki-Udon
(Printable Recipe)
3 Cloves Garlic, peeled and chopped
350 g Chinese Cabbage, sliced
1 Carrot, peeled and sliced
400 ml Dashi Soup Stock
1 ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
600 g Fresh Japanese Udon Noodles
100 g Prawns, peeled, chopped
140 g Squid, diced
150 g Scallops, diced
½ tsp Sesame Oil
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large wok over moderate heat. Cook the garlic until light golden in color. Turn the heat on high and add in the seafood. Give the seafood mixture a quick stir for about 45 to 50 seconds, remove and set aside.
Then add in the other Tbsp oil, and cook vegetables for about 1 minute, remove and set aside.
Add in the Dashi soup stock, black pepper, and bring to a boil.
Mix in the noodles, seafood, and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil again.
Stir-fry the noodles mixture until all the ingredients are well combine and the sauce has thickened. Then season with sesame oil and sea salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.

I like many others would like to teach English abroad. I typed TEFL courses in Google and got pages and pages of results. This was a bit overwhelming. Next I looked at what kind of certifications employers are wanting. I found quite a few (not all) employers would like someone with a Celta, Delta or Trinity. I looked online at the Cambridge Celta website and found the closest center was way too far for me. Also call me old fashioned, but I would rather prefer to physically see and meet the instructors and faculty in person.
But I did find inclass courses at the Spring International Language Center at U of A in Fayetteville. (http://www.uark.edu/depts/silc/ark/) The center offers TEFL certification. They are accredited with ACCEST and CEA. I'm not sure how they are tied to U of A though. They have university email address. Also the website is an university website. Anyway, I have 2 thoughts that bother me.
Spring International is mainly for people enrolling in an intensive English program. I'm just worried about the TEFL program, because the center is not focused on just TEFL. The TEFL certification is a special program offered there. The link is to the program http://www.uark.edu/depts/silc/ark/ So looking over this, can anyone tell if this would be a program that would look favorable to future employers? Does it matter if the TEFL certification came from a center mainly focused in intensive English?
Second, my friend from Portugal, told me it doesn't matter where I go to take classes, because my certification would be from the US. How valid is his point? I figure I can get a poopy degree from anywhere in world. But since this field is highly unregulated, I feel that he has a valid point. But I feel, Spring International would be a good choice, and just as good as a Celta certification. Maybe I'm just worrying over nothing.
Please tell me your thoughts.

For a low-carb meal, this would go well with Forbidden City Chicken or Grilled Chicken Sanpete Kabobs.
Chinese Cucumber Salad
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe adapted from Too Many Tomatoes, Squash, Beans, and Other Good Things.)
4 medium sized cucumbers
2 T sea salt (for soaking water)
black sesame seeds for garnishing salad (optional but fun)
Dressing Ingredients:
4 T red wine vinegar
4 T soy sauce (I used low-sodium,]; use gluten-free soy sauce like Tamari if needed.)
3 T sugar, Stevia in the Raw Granulated, or Splenda (use Stevia or Splenda for South Beach Diet)
4 tsp. sesame oil
1-2 tsp. Sriracha Sauce (or other hot sauce of your choice)
(original recipe had salt in the dressing, but I left it out this time)
Peel cucumbers, leaving some of the peel on in stripes if they are fresh garden cucumbers. Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
After 30 minutes, drain the cucumbers well, put them in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, and pour dressing over cucumbers. Let marinate 30 minutes in the fridge, turning the container over a few times.
After 30 minutes more, drain the cucumbers, reserving a few tablespoons of the dressing. Put cucumbers on serving dish, drizzle over the reserved dressing, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds if desired.
This will keep one day in the fridge, but it's much better freshly made.
If you use Stevia in the Raw Granulated or Splenda, this recipe would be approved for all phases of the South Beach Diet, and most other types of low-carb eating plans.

Thanks everyone , I think I'm gonna have to check all this out. I love that video, the bond is perfect. I'm just trying to break the "I forget my name when I see another dog " thing right now ! Leash walking has to be the toughest thing to work with so far !

I also believe, getting down to a dog's level can help in the bonding process. Read up on dog postures and what they mean and employ them when the opportunity exists. Humans stand tall over their dogs all too much but when the situation is proper, getting down to the dog's level has a bonding effect in my opinion.
Also, if one chooses, letting the dog up onto your bed at night has it's benefits in the bonding department, perhaps it solidifies the pack mentality to a degree. Of course, this is contingent on the fact that the pup knows WHO's bed it is. At the least, in the beginning, allowing the pup to sleep in the same room wherever it may be, creates a sense of security for the pup. The pup over time will find it's "favorite" place to sleep.
Activities such as gentle grooming and light stroking massages from nose to tail while your pup is relaxed seems to have great benefit. Light gentle strokes from nose to tips of ears to the pads etc. all seems to develop a physical relationship which all benefit from as time passes.
Overall, I have learned over my 4 dogs that the most content dog is the one that truly senses your leadership and comes to rely on you showing them the way and guiding them wonderfully. The more places you can take your dog ( within reason ) the better as well.....I guess it is simply what they call "true companionship".
Good luck and enjoy every minute of their puppyhood as it is a fleeting moment and a time to take full advantage of.
Any and all clicker training is ideal for this ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html

|Tug I think is the best way to bond, but, only if the dog ends up winning after a struggle. and the tug game is played like a hunting game. That is why I use 2 tugs on leashes - my Sting waits on the down/stay -I walk out with the tugs about 25 ft - give the okay and drop one scoot it on the ground - Sting attacks it and I tug -then drop and pick up the other one and so one - he wins at the end and I walk away defeated then turn and praise him. He brings the tugs - gets a treat when he gives them to me and a good rub down. I don't do a lot of tug - once daily as a reward after his obedience session. Turid Rugaas in her book "My Dog Pulls: What do I do" has a method of teaching loose leash walking that is also great for teaching focus and bonding. It teaches the dog to respond to a cue when you want him to focus or follow you. I have used it and had good success with my Sting as he knows that cue means if he turns and comes - follows me - he gets rewarded.
Bonding exercises

Buy a beat up 27, get moorage in the city, and live aboard. This will probably cost you at least $3000 to start and $500 a month. Then you will need to get a job. This is easy if you aren't picky... You will probably be destitute, but you will get to enjoy life on the water. That's about what I am doing. Just remember, just because it isn't conventional doesn't mean it isn't good.
Don't get steamrolled by norms. You don't have to live in a house and pay a mortgage. In fact, living on a boat can save you a lot of money which you can use later to buy a house or whatever.
We are all born
I agree with kd3pc. If you're bleeding all over the place, it is great to hope tomorrow is going to be better than today, but it is also helpful to stop the bleeding. If you aren't working, yeah, things are going to eventually turn around, but you have to cut your expenses now before you and your family end up sleeping under a bridge.
That said, I don't think a boat is the best way to do that, a much better way is to go and stay with relatives, especially if you have children.

The choice is not:
Option1: Sit back and hope things will get better while watching your savings vanish to the point you can no longer meet your obligations, then lose it all . . . OR
Option2: React in a panic - sell everything now to preserve what little you have, buy a boat, and (think you'll . . . ) sail the world and be happy.
What about Options 3, 4, 5, and 6?
One way or another, most people will need an income to remain financially viable over the long term. To recover, people in this situation need to be proactive, persistent, and flexible. If you've previously worked in an industry that's been in a long term decline, recognize that and be flexible about trying something different. If you're local area has been in a long term decline, be flexible and consider moving. But don't resign yourself to failure, give up on your future, and become destitute on a boat. For Neptune's sake, the OP has a 13 year old son whose future also has to be considered.
I've seen job loss really take the wind out of people's sails and it's sad to see, but it's not necessary. It's not that you fail, or loose, or fall but instead, it matters a great deal how you react to those circumstances. If you get knocked down - get back up! (. . . no, I didnt say what youre thinking . . . of course its not easy, its hard but go fight for it anyway!).
The economy will recover, but it's true things may look a little different than before. That's OK, you be a little different than before too. You may find doing something new to be a really good thing. Don't just sit on the sidelines crying in your rum and watch the recovery pass you by.
To say that having hope is unrealistic and foolish is itself foolish. It's talking yourself out of your own recovery. I've seen these economic cycles run numerous times and invariably, people willing to put in the effort and who maintain a can-do attitude land on their feet. I've watched companies let go thousands of workers over several months, and then 6 months later hire almost as many right back in. If you're defeated and negative, that's a key obstacle to your own recovery. Get back up instead!
Yes, minimize expenses and be smart about preserving your assets in the short run - but panicking can land you in a worse predicament, and adopting a boat often results in a whole new set of (sometimes unforeseen) expenses.
Yes, be realistic about what's happened to your job, maybe your line of work, maybe your locality - but be flexible to try something different and/or move if need be.
Yes, pursue boating if you're interested, but don't attempt to run from your problems TO boating (they'll likely follow you onto the boat) - focus full time on solving the income problem, then look into a new way of life on the water within the scope of a longer term plan.
There's lots more that can be said on this topic than will fit in a post, a thread, or maybe even on Sailnet. I would caution though that people should be careful who they take advice from, those that have had a bad experience and are resigned to failure or those who have had a bad experience and have recovered. Remember the story of Ray Kroc who went bust 10 times before his success with the McDonalds franchise? What if he just gave up on attempt 9, bought a boat and resigned himself to living on a pittance? . . . We'd probably all have better eating habits I guess .
I wish everyone well in this really tough economy, we WILL get through it. Just my two cents anyway.

|If the tranny was behind a performance engine, I wouldn`t touch it with a 10 foot pole. T5`s are a real weak tranny. Since there`s no way to know how much abuse it took, or it`s true mileage, there`s no telling what your getting or what shape it`s in internally. A friend of mine has one, third gear is gone, while it`ll shift into 3rd fine, there`s no gear there, and it took rather light abuse from a mild 350.
85 camaro T5 transmission life?
i have a chance to get a 5 speed trans from a 85 V8 camaro Z28 at the wreckers thats got the complete drivline and i can get the tranny/clutch for aproxx $100... everything pretty much to do with the trans and clutch.
but my question is whats the average life span one a tranny like these? the car has 315,550KM. the car does not run obviously because its in the wrecker yard so i cant test it out, the shifter feels pretty good but again hard to tell without it running. the car was not in a accident the body does look good besides some rust. but the rear window was smashed but looks like it was done after the car was at the wreckers. the car was fixed up a bit as in rear drums painted, flat black paint job, headers, intake, performance wires etc. the body looks pretty rusted underneath. so ethier the engine went or the tranny went or it just got really tired after the 315,550 KM for it to be in the wreckers.
can i get some of your opinions on if its still good? Thanks

Floods, landslides hit Kerala
At least 15 persons have died and several were reported missing because of heavy rain, which started on the night of Sunday-Monday, and landslides in the hilly district of Idukki, south-central Kerala. The devastation took place when a huge mound of rock and slush came crashing down at Chiyyappara in Idukki while relief work was going on. Cochin International Airport was closed for two days after its runway was flooded and many flights were diverted or cancelled. Many vehicles are feared trapped in the debris and the state government has sought the help of the army and the National Disaster Response Force. Incessant rain hampered rescue and relief at several places and the government has asked tourists to avoid hill stations. In Idukki many houses built on the slopes of hills have been swept away in flash floods and landslides.

|I always said if I got a dog it would be a male, but we ended up with a female. My fiancé put his foot down and said female simply because his other dog (staffy) is a male. His staffy is currently living with his mother as we live in the Outback and I have an elderly cat (his staffy hates cats), but eventually when we move back to the city the two dogs will have to live together. He subscribes to the belief that a male and a female will get along better than two dogs of the same sex. My preference for males probably comes more from the belief that male dogs bond better with women and female dogs bond better with men. My belief has been challenged though, as our pup seems to have bonded with me rather than my fiancé. I have no regrets over getting a female
I have only ever had male dogs.
I have found females to be too stubborn, and have never developed that close bond with them. My sister had a female pit bull and man, she's a handful! Likewise, my uncle has a female dog and I see lots of parallels to my sister's pit...just not my thing I guess.
My Apollo is incredibly attached to me, but not to the point where it's obnoxious. (he does howl when I leave though, he NEVER does it otherwise, so I have never actually heard him do it, but my mom has recorded him for me once to prove it!)
I would probably stick with males for any future pets, though would not be totally closed to the idea of owning a female. If I got a female dog though, I would have her fixed, because I do NOT want to deal with the heat cycle. lol
I currently have two bitches (one mutt, one GSD) because those are what I scooped up after they had been dumped (mutt at a cemetery and GSD at a laundromat). I'm hoping to add a Dobe in a few years, and it will probably be a male.

I've had 4 males in succession since age 8, the last 2 always had a female as a companion. My newest male is 7 months old and the golden is 4.5 years old, just my thing. Last male GSD probably saved me from a beat down (SchH. trained) handily took care of the situation.
The dog that hurt the most to lose was a male. Big framed GSD that just seized my heart and took up residence there. Big knob was all he was, lots of bone and muscle and on occasion flashes of brilliance. On average tho, he was just a good dog, willing companion and devoted mutt.
My females have all been razor sharp, that would be a Mal, a GSD and a GSD/BC mix. All three were/are annoyingly intelligent and hard to control. I like that aspect most of the time, except when I'm tired or stressed, then a smart dog can get a bit tiresome.
Right now I have a very smart male that is reserved and tractable. He listens very well and is coming around to the idea that he can relax when I am at home, I don't need 24/7 hyper-protection. My female is distressingly intelligent, she gets into trouble with her problem solving antics. She watches and learns from my male, but has a great off switch(behind the ears and tail root). Good mix here, prolly going to try and keep the male and female mix in the future.

|I have found over the years that I seem to work best with females. I find their snarky, hormonal attitudes appealing and I seem to bond better with them. I swore that once Bud was gone I would never have another male. I dislike all that 'boy' stuff.
|I like having a combination of both ... currently I have one girl/three boys. I prefer having a majority of males because IMHO they're easier to live with, less independent, less "bitchy", more laid back, generally easier to train (the girls have all been extremely intelligent, however, at least for me for some reason they're not as easy to train as the boys).
I've had both genders. I prefer males for their size. Yes I know, it's a mental thing and it's also perception. But I also prefer males as the ones I've had over the years seemed to be more accepting of others. Not so over the top as we have a therapy and a seeing eye dogs in the immediate family. Father in law and his seeing eye dog and I had a bad experience with a female GSD of mine. She was highly protective of her pack. Males just seem easier going and depending on the line, less on edge. But this is my perception of male/female genders in dogs.

First gsd was female so we got a male for pack dynamics. Female is spayed. Also, I had heard males will bond with female humans more which I wanted because our female bonded with my fiancé even though she was supposed to be my dog.
My female is very independent and rarely seeks out attention.
My male is an attention hog and loves to be in my lap which most of the time I don't mind because he just lays there to be pet and falls asleep.
They both follow my fiancé and I around and no one goes to the bathroom alone.
Our male is more bonded with me . And he's just a hunk.

It's a Hoyt Defiant, but . . . . .
So, I bought this bow about 10 years ago for $50 at a yard sale.
It also had some arrows, quiver, and a Cobra site that are not in the picture, I'm currently cleaning them up and had them removed when I took the pix.
Only thing I know about bows is how to shoot them. I decided to break it out again now that I have more time to get into archery and I live somewhere where I have room to shoot it, again.
After some searching I found out that it is a Hoyt Defiant, at least as far as I can tell. Seems like I got a pretty good deal on it, it's in great shape.
What I'm looking for is information on what has been done to it. It says "built by" and has some numbers that I have no idea what are all about.
Is it "custom" built somehow? Looks like standard issue limbs that were available on the Defiant, from what I can tell. 41" ATA and they say Fast Flight.
Can someone tell me more about what, if anything, has been done to this bow?
What the numbers mean?
Are these stock cams?
Is this still a good bow for someone wanting to get into archery to start with?
Any suggestions on what it "needs" (other than a new string)
Do I need to worry about parts?
I'll just be target shooting, by the way. But I hope to get pretty serious eventually. No competitions for awhile or anything, but I do want something that will let me see my potential.
So, after more digging, I'm thinking it's going to cost me more to put new string and cable on the thing than it's probably worth, anyway. As old as it is, I'd think I'd want both replaced before I did any shooting with it.
Sound right, guys?
Nice old bow mate!!The guy to ask would be Garry the Carpshooter he has a thing for old bows and Shelias I here???LOLSend him a P.M as he still shoots a few old bows and still gets a few deer with them !!!!!I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
Looks like a good starter bow . With the price of new bows if that one is a good draw length and poundage for you I would get a hold of hutch at the bow string depot on here and get a new set of threads. Then save a little money for a new or used one if it became addicting .

As far as the writing is: S= string, C= cable and Y=yoke would be my guess.
You could contact Hoyt, I presume...
Fastflite was a string/cable material that gained popularity in the late 80's.

The defiant was one of the sweetest bows made in th early 90's. It was probably the first truly detailed machined bows as all of the others before the hoyts were blocky. This bow looks to have command cams which was a very nice drawing cam with for the time a decent back wall. The limbs are the psolid laminated carbon and fiberglass before they went to split models.. They were good and strong. The only knock by some on that bow was it wasn't the quietest or the lightest.
Assuming the draw length and draw weight is a fit then I would suggest getting new strings and have alot of fun shooting it. Based upon the pictures you got a steal even figuring in the additional cost of the strings!

If the bow fits you in DL and pounds it's worth re-stringing it. I shoot a few older bows and though not as fast as the latest many of them are darn good shooters and capable of hunting with. Hoyt's charts unforntunately have been updated and no longer have your bows specs. I would call them. customer service, to get all the info you can.
I have a mutt Hoyt, old riser mixed with newer limbs and command cams to finger shoot with. I like the command cams.
Something to keep in mind on the string and cable lenths, Hoyt didn't always include the 6" yoke in they're string lenths writin on the bow. Bring it or send it to a reputable shop or string builder to get a new set of threads.FBSA Member

Sox and Bruins postpone Friday games with city on lockdown
The Bruins, who were scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Penguins at 7 p.m. Friday, tentatively rescheduled the game for 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Red Sox, who were scheduled to open a three-game series, did not announce a make-up date for Friday night's game. Games are scheduled for 1:10 p.m. Saturday and 1:35 p.m. Sunday. This is the Royals' only scheduled trip to Boston this season, so a Sunday doubleheader appears likely.

"I wouldn't have believed a card could make people so happy but everyone here was stunned by how great these cards looked. Previously we bought our cards from the big guys and we were so unhappy with the cards. We feel so lucky we finally found Tiny Prints. Outstanding company. We wish all our business suppliers gave us such a great product at such a great price with great customer service!!! We can't wait to get more cards!!! Thanks Tiny Prints!!"
"I use this card for a travel card...picturing my wife and I along with our first names (on the white portion of the front) and full contact info on the back. We've found these to be great for giving out toward the end of a tour/cruise to the people we've met and connected with."
"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"Great looking card, the designer helped me get the back of the card to look exactly as I wanted. The pearl finish stands out against my competitors cards. Delivery was very quick! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 126, September 26, 1997
Yukon Upgrade
The recent upgrade to the ARSC T3E, or yukon, as described in the previous edition of the newsletter has now been completed. The majority of the changes made over the past weekend are to the hardware and users should see the impact of these without needing to make any changes to codes, scripts etc. However below are some hints as to how users can take best advantage of the improvements made to the system.
Physical Changes
Additional Memory
The memory on each node has been doubled to 256Mbytes. This will allow users to either use fewer processors to perform the same work, or to increase the size and complexity of models already running on the system. The best use of ARSC resources will occur if all users employ the number of processors which provide enough, and just enough memory for the work they wish to perform. (As a reminder, the T3E allows users to run on non-power of 2 processor sets, so users should consider carefully the exact requirements of their problem and choose a suitable number of processors.)
The current processors are now fully streams safe, code modifications are no longer necessary. Users should see an improvement in performance due to this. Full details of the nature of streams can be found in:
"The Benchmarker's Guide to Single-processor Optimization for CRAY T3E Systems"
By: Ed Anderson, Jeff Brooks, and Tom Hewitt; Benchmarking Group, Cray Research.
Which is available in postscript via anonymous ftp to: ftp.arsc.edu. It is in the directory: pub/mpp/docs, and is named: bmguide.ps.Z. We also refer you to the man page, man intro_streams, available on yukon.
Some users are reporting a near doubling of performance with particular codes. However this improvement might not be obtained by all users codes. Users might like to compare performance of programs with and without streams. Streams are enabled by default but users can run without streams by setting the following environment variable before running a parallel executable.
e.g. yukon% mpprun -n 8 ./a.out > output_streams_on yukon% setenv SCACHE_D_STREAMS 0 yukon% mpprun -n 8 ./a.out > output_streams_off yukon% unsetenv SCACHE_D_STREAMS
The final unsetenv returns the streams status to the system default, i.e. enabled.
Clock Speeds
The clock speed of each processor has been increased from 300MHz to 450MHz. This provides a theoretical maximum peak performance of 900Mflops for the new processors. Benchmarks show a speedup of between 1.2 and 1.3 when compared to the 300MHz processors for typical scientific and engineering codes.
Additional Processors
Eight processors have been added to the system bringing the physical total to 104 processors. Six of the new processors have been added to the application processors for users applications, the remaining two are command processors which support user jobs and logins etc. At present the additional processors are primarily for interactive use. This is to provide resources for those performing interactive work during the migration of codes from the T3D to the T3E. However, in the future, the total number of processors available to NQS will be increased and a new queue structure introduced.
Queue Structure
In order to reflect the changes in system configuration and performance, we will be making a number of changes to the queue structure during test time in the coming weeks. These are still being discussed, so please see news on yukon for more details. These changes will be aimed at increasing the throughput of the system and likely changes are to reduce the maximum time of any job and to change the processor number limits to reflect the ability to run on non-powers of 2. Feedback is welcome on queue structures.
PGHPF 2.3 Installed on Yukon
Version 2.3 of the Portland Group's High Performance Fortran has now been installed on Yukon, ARSC's T3E. Access to PGHPF is through the module command:
yukon> module load pghpf
An online reference and user manual can be found through the compiler description at:
and users can also find information about HPF in general at:
and a useful HPF book is the High Performance Fortran Handbook, Koelbel, Loveman, Schreiber, Steel, and Zosel, ISBN 0-262-61094-9.
Please address all questions concerning this product to email@example.com or 907-450-8602. Users who encounter problems or wish to consider the performance of their codes on the ARSC T3E system are encouraged to contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ Assume you have dozens of source files, many of which reference the same global variable. You decide to change the name of that variable. Is there an easy way to do this? }} # To change all instances of "OLDNAME" to "NEWNAME" in all .f and .F # files in the current directory, the following command would work. # Word boundaries in perl regular expressions are matched by "\b", so # the command would (for instance) not change "BOLDNAME" to # "BNEWNAME". If you were to replace the "-i" option with "-i.bk", # then perl would make a backup of every file (giving it the # extension ".bk") before changing it. perl -p -i -e "s|\bOLDNAME\b|NEWNAME|g;" `ls *.f *.F` Q: Here's a proposed C assignment statement: ((buffer_cell->prev) ? buffer_cell->prev->next : buffer->cell) = buffer_cell->next; Is this a good idea? Self-documenting? Is it even valid!? A: {{ Bonus Answer! From issue #124: "How can one PE initiate an exit on all PEs?" }} # Thanks to the reader who reminded us of Cray's "STOP_ALL" # subroutine. This is a third, albiet non-portable, option.

Oh well, I had fun doing them anyway.
I'm going to have to agree that the Shadowcat was one of the better ones
Though at least this way it gets a prize
Congrats Winners!
Cool. Thanks WOOT and honorable judges.
Congratz fellow winners and honorable mentions.
FedUp, The Button Man was indeed quite awesome.
Congratz winners and thanks for all the kind words on my entry. Perhaps the judges will see the error in their ways and knock me up a few places in a future contest (one can always hope). I did like the winning entries and they deserved to win.
Congrats winners!
I will take my Monkey Prize and love him and pet him and call him George.
Thanks, and congrats to the other winners and HMs!
Nice job placing those buttons. Pretty cool.
Great job everyone! I absolutely LOVED the 1st prize. Excellent.
And the buttons one WAS awesome, but I really don't think it meets the qualification of being a classic... so for that reason, I don't think it was robbed. The actual movie was terrible.

Woot has decided to suspend the contest for a little while, and they realize there are still payouts to take care of. I'm sure they will take care of yours if it is still outstanding. Woot staff member agingdragqueen has been nice enough to take care of the people who are still waiting for their contest winnings, you can send her a PM here.
All's resolved...thank you!

The Canisius College track team will close out its regular season on Saturday at the Brockport Golden Eagle Run.
It'll be the final tune up for the teams before they head to Lawrenceville, N.J. the following weekend to compete in the MAAC Championships.
The Griffs are coming off the Upstate Challenge at the University at Buffalo, which saw three members of the Blue and Gold take home a victory.
Sophomore Michael Anvelt won the men's 1500-meter run for the Griffs and freshman Jeff Antolos picked up a victory in the men's 3000-meter run, while sophomore Travis Jordon took the top-spot in the 800-meter run.
Anvelt won his race by just over a second, racing to a time of 4:02.16. Jordon completed his event in 1:57.85, winning his event by just under a second.
Antolos' time of 8:41.89 won the 3k, with junior Chad Maloy finishing third in the event and freshman Xavier Sauvageau placing fourth.
Canisius placed five women in the top-nine of the 3000-meter run, with senior Catherine Phillips leading the way with a time of 10:31.10. Freshmen Anna Phillips (sixth), and Macey Walker (seventh), and sophomores Mary Kate Chambers (eighth) and Robin Wagner (ninth) rounded out the Griffs in the field.
Senior Jamie Wallace also posted a strong race for the Griffs last weekend, taking fifth in the 1500-meter run with a time of 4:56.03.
It'll be the third time this year that the Griffs have competed at Brockport between the indoor and outdoor seasons. The meet is scheduled to get underway at 10 a.m.

Bulldogs Add Carter To Defensive Coaching Staff
DES MOINES, Iowa--The Drake Bulldogs football program has added Kahlil Carter to the coaching staff as cornerbacks coach, head coach Chris Creighton announced Monday.
Carter brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience to his position at Drake. A former Arkansas Razorback (1994-97), Carter enjoyed an 11-year professional playing career in the Arena Football League, Canadian Football League and NFL Europe.
"We are very fortunate to have hired Coach Carter to work with our cornerbacks," Creighton said. "He has outstanding experience as a player, and is a gifted coach. He brings a contagious energy to our team."
Carter began his coaching career while still a player in the Arena Football League, as co-defensive coordinator for the AFL2 Arkansas Twisters in 2007, and then as player/coach with the Iowa Barnstormers in 2010. As a defensive back and team captain, Carter assisted with weekly game-plan preparation and in player personnel for the Barnstormers.
"I am ecstatic about becoming a member of the Drake University Football family," Carter said. "I feel like God has me right where he wants me right now. I hope to bring an exciting, enthusiastic coaching style to an already dynamic staff. I feel blessed and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a great tradition here at Drake."
Carter took his first full-time coaching position in 2010 as secondary and linebackers coach at Graceland University. He then served as defensive coordinator for the Trenton Steel of the Southern Indoor Football League in the spring of 2011, and most recently coached cornerbacks at Valley High School in West Des Moines during its 2011 state 4A championship season.
Highlights from his lengthy playing career include the longest run for a touchdown (36 yards) in Arena Bowl Championship history with the Orlando Predators in 2006, and second-team All-AFL honors with Nashville in 2005. Carter recorded the third-most interception return yards in a season (184) with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts in 2006, and made eight tackles in the Grey Cup for the Montreal Alouettes in 2008, third-most in Grey Cup history.
Carter began his professional playing career in 2000 with the Arkansas Twisters of the Arena Football League 2 (AF2), then moved on to the Milwaukee Mustangs (AFL, 2001) and Toronto Phantoms (AFL, 2002) before going back to the Twisters in 2003 following a training camp stint with the AFL's Tampa Bay Storm.
In 2004 Carter signed with the NFL's Buffalo Bills and was allocated to NFL Europe's Scottish Claymores, where he led the team in special teams tackles, with 28, and added three pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one blocked field goal as team captain of one of the stingiest defenses in NFL Europe history. He continued through training camp with the Bills before suffering an injury.
In 2005 Carter put together an All-AFL season with the Nashville Kats, finishing second in the league in interceptions (7) and recording 70 tackles and one forced fumble. After his 2006 AFL season that ended with his appearance in the Arena Bowl with Orlando, Carter made a move to the CFL where he starred for the Toronto Argonauts for two seasons and Montreal for one (2008). He also spent time in training camp with the AFL's Kansas City Brigade in 2008, and later that season for the Predators in a playoff game, before his role with Montreal's Grey Cup team.
In 2007 Carter was named to the AF2 anniversary team and voted the No. 2 defensive specialist in AF2 history. He had his #9 jersey retired by the Twisters.
Carter is a graduate of Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., and earned his bachelor's degree in psychology from n Arkansas-Little Rock in 2000.
The Bulldogs open their 2012 season at home on Thursday, Aug. 30, vs. Grand View. Tickets are available by calling (515) 271-DOGS or visiting www.GoDrakeBulldogs.com to purchase online.

This story is from the collection "Obama on Edge"
Hitler Here is a well researched and lyrically written biographical novel offering first-person stories by the Fuehrer and a variety of other characters. This intimate approach invites the reader to peer into Hitler's mind, talk to Eva Braun, joust with Goering, Goebbels, and Himmler, debate with the generals, fight on land and at sea and in the air, and huddle in the death camps as, everywhere, civilization is consumed.
Let's invite many of the greatest boxers, and their contemporaries, to tell their own stories, some true, others tales based on history. Peter Jackson barges into John L. Sullivan's hotel room to demand a fight. Jim Jeffries regales listeners about his barroom confrontation with Jack Johnson. A bar owner discusses the violent alcoholism of Battling Siki. Jack Dempsey and his detractors hold forth. Sonny Liston stars in three stories. Nelson Mandela boxes Barack Obama. The top 13 heavyweights are identified. Muhammad Ali, Jerry Quarry, Emanuel Steward, Alexis Arguello, Lennox Lewis, and Archie Moore and others also share experiences. They're frank about their serious business. They know there can always be Death in the Ring.
These satirical columns, written from 2003 to 2009, allow startlingly candid Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush to explain their need to control the destinies of countries, regions, and, ultimately, the world. Osama bin Laden, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Karl Rove, and other notables, not all famous, also demand part of the stage.

Just picked up a new one and the instructions say you can use it on a standard rifle. You should call DSA to make sure.....
Does anyone know if I can use a DSA Extended Para scope mount without anyother para parts???
I plan to slowly buy the parts to make mine a Para, and want to use the Para scope mount with my std fixed stock rifle...
Just picked up a new one and the instructions say you can use it on a standard rifle. You should call DSA to make sure.....
The Para will work fine on a fixed stock rifle.... but keep in mind that if you get the extended mount, you'll have to ditch your carry handle. No carry handle, no problem.
...I'm not tense! Just terribly, terribly alert.
Thanks for the help!!!
I ended up gettin a NEW DSA Non-extended Non-Para mount for $40 off of gunbroker!!!
I have pics in my thread FAL 2.0
Im waiting for my Aimpoint to come in, then I will post a few more pics. So far the mount seem great, a little added weight, but well worth it.
For now, I decided against going to a Para stock setup. I would rather spend my hard earned $$$ in other gun related items and not sink $400 into a folding stock...
Para stocks are neat but the novelty wears off quick... fixed stock is the way to go imo.
...I'm not tense! Just terribly, terribly alert.
What stock would you guys recomend??? I Now have a Green "USA MADE" stock im not sure where it came from it has no name or marks other then where it was made. I have the stock pistol grip and handguard that came on the rifle and I HATE them!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a SA rifle made by FN with a SouthAfrican style textured black stock. I liked everything about that stock except for the length!
I want the same stock only shorter! Anyone know what make/model of stock Im looking for? Would be called a Plain FN black stock??
here's a pic befor I sold it:
I would love to have the same stock as pictured above, only 2.5" shorter from lower receiver to end of the buttpad.
I don't know of anybody off hand that makes a shortened hump-back stock. There's the Magpul Precision rifle stock that has an adjustable comb and length of pull... but I couldn't tell you if the LOP starts out shorter than a standard fixed stock. Even if it was, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be 2.5" shorter. That's pretty darn short for a FAL... you'd pretty much have to go PARA to try to get that due to the recoil spring/tube in the fixed stock FAL. Why so short, body armor requirements?
The pistol grip is an easy change, they make a SAW grip that doesn't look half bad. The angle is of course less extreme which makes it easier to manipulate the safety.
...I'm not tense! Just terribly, terribly alert.
I have a fal stock, smooth black. about 10-1/2" It's not a hump back.
If you need it ,let me know.
Your in my Mind, and in my Sights

Supreme Court strikes down McCain-Feingold campaign finance law
1st amendment wins!!!
Fans of the First Amendment can rejoice. In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court today struck down large portions of the abomination known as the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, especially those aspects of the law that imposed restrictions on corporate spending on political issues.
From The New York Times:
WASHINGTON — Sweeping aside a century-old understanding and overruling two important precedents, a bitterly divided Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections.
The ruling was a vindication, the majority said, of the First Amendment's most basic free speech principle — that the government has no business regulating political speech. The dissenters said allowing corporate money to flood the political marketplace will corrupt democracy.
"If the First Amendment has any force," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority, which included the four members of its conservative wing, "it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech."

the merger of corporate interests and the state. Fascism pure and simple.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Fascism is state control of private industry. It is not private industry having a voice in the political process.
There are many examples of Fascism in these United States today, but this is not one of them.
Read and learn....
As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. The word derives from fasces, the Roman symbol of collectivism and power: a tied bundle of rods with a protruding ax. In its day (the 1920s and 1930s), fascism was seen as the happy medium between boom-and-bust-prone liberal capitalism, with its alleged class conflict, wasteful competition, and profit-oriented egoism, and revolutionary Marxism, with its violent and socially divisive persecution of the bourgeoisie. Fascism substituted the particularity of nationalism and racialismblood and soilfor the internationalism of both classical liberalism and Marxism.
Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a societys economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the national interestthat is, as the autocratic authority conceived it. (Nevertheless, a few industries were operated by the state.) Where socialism abolished all market relations outright, fascism left the appearance of market relations while planning all economic activities. Where socialism abolished money and prices, fascism controlled the monetary system and set all prices and wages politically. In doing all this, fascism denatured the marketplace. Entrepreneurship was abolished. State ministries, rather than consumers, determined what was produced and under what conditions.
Fascism is to be distinguished from interventionism, or the mixed economy. Interventionism seeks to guide the market process, not eliminate it, as fascism did. Minimum-wage and antitrust laws, though they regulate the free market, are a far cry from multiyear plans from the Ministry of Economics.
Under fascism, the state, through official cartels, controlled all aspects of manufacturing, commerce, finance, and agriculture. Planning boards set product lines, production levels, prices, wages, working conditions, and the size of firms. Licensing was ubiquitous; no economic activity could be undertaken without government permission. Levels of consumption were dictated by the state, and excess incomes had to be surrendered as taxes or loans. The consequent burdening of manufacturers gave advantages to foreign firms wishing to export. But since government policy aimed at autarky, or national self-sufficiency, protectionism was necessary: imports were barred or strictly controlled, leaving foreign conquest as the only avenue for access to resources unavailable domestically. Fascism was thus incompatible with peace and the international division of laborhallmarks of liberalism.
Fascism embodied corporatism, in which political representation was based on trade and industry rather than on geography. In this, fascism revealed its roots in syndicalism, a form of socialism originating on the left. The government cartelized firms of the same industry, with representatives of labor and management serving on myriad local, regional, and national boardssubject always to the final authority of the dictators economic plan. Corporatism was intended to avert unsettling divisions within the nation, such as lockouts and union strikes. The price of such forced harmony was the loss of the ability to bargain and move about freely.
To maintain high employment and minimize popular discontent, fascist governments also undertook massive public-works projects financed by steep taxes, borrowing, and fiat money creation. While many of these projects were domesticroads, buildings, stadiumsthe largest project of all was militarism, with huge armies and arms production.
The fascist leaders antagonism to communism has been misinterpreted as an affinity for capitalism. In fact, fascists anticommunism was motivated by a belief that in the collectivist milieu of early-twentieth-century Europe, communism was its closest rival for peoples allegiance. As with communism, under fascism, every citizen was regarded as an employee and tenant of the totalitarian, party-dominated state. Consequently, it was the states prerogative to use force, or the threat of it, to suppress even peaceful opposition.
If a formal architect of fascism can be identified, it is Benito Mussolini, the onetime Marxist editor who, caught up in nationalist fervor, broke with the left as World War I approached and became Italys leader in 1922. Mussolini distinguished fascism from liberal capitalism in his 1928 autobiography:
The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity. The Fascist State with its corporative conception puts men and their possibilities into productive work and interprets for them the duties they have to fulfill. (p. 280)
Before his foray into imperialism in 1935, Mussolini was often praised by prominent Americans and Britons, including Winston Churchill, for his economic program.
Similarly, Adolf Hitler, whose National Socialist (Nazi) Party adapted fascism to Germany beginning in 1933, said:
The state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property. (Barkai 1990, pp. 2627)
Both nations exhibited elaborate planning schemes for their economies in order to carry out the states objectives. Mussolinis corporate state consider[ed] private initiative in production the most effective instrument to protect national interests (Basch 1937, p. 97). But the meaning of initiative differed significantly from its meaning in a market economy. Labor and management were organized into twenty-two industry and trade corporations, each with Fascist Party members as senior participants. The corporations were consolidated into a National Council of Corporations; however, the real decisions were made by state agencies such as the Instituto per la Ricosstruzione Industriale, which held shares in industrial, agricultural, and real estate enterprises, and the Instituto Mobiliare, which controlled the nations credit.
Hitlers regime eliminated small corporations and made membership in cartels mandatory.1 The Reich Economic Chamber was at the top of a complicated bureaucracy comprising nearly two hundred organizations organized along industry, commercial, and craft lines, as well as several national councils. The Labor Front, an extension of the Nazi Party, directed all labor matters, including wages and assignment of workers to particular jobs. Labor conscription was inaugurated in 1938. Two years earlier, Hitler had imposed a four-year plan to shift the nations economy to a war footing. In Europe during this era, Spain, Portugal, and Greece also instituted fascist economies.
In the United States, beginning in 1933, the constellation of government interventions known as the New Deal had features suggestive of the corporate state. The National Industrial Recovery Act created code authorities and codes of practice that governed all aspects of manufacturing and commerce. The National Labor Relations Act made the federal government the final arbiter in labor issues. The Agricultural Adjustment Act introduced central planning to farming. The object was to reduce competition and output in order to keep prices and incomes of particular groups from falling during the Great Depression.
It is a matter of controversy whether President Franklin Roosevelts New Deal was directly influenced by fascist economic policies. Mussolini praised the New Deal as boldly . . . interventionist in the field of economics, and Roosevelt complimented Mussolini for his honest purpose of restoring Italy and acknowledged that he kept in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman. Also, Hugh Johnson, head of the National Recovery Administration, was known to carry a copy of Raffaello Vigliones pro-Mussolini book, The Corporate State, with him, presented a copy to Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, and, on retirement, paid tribute to the Italian dictator.

Are corporations not owned by and union's not filled with citizens of this country? Does their right to free speech change at a certain income level or because they group together?
There are only three powers in this country, the people, the federal govt, and the states. Corporations and unions are part of the people.
You are playing the political game of class warfare. It's designed to keep the citizens fighting with each other while your liberty is suppressed by gov't.

I find it funny that everyone s focusing on how this will effect corporations, but seem to be looking past how it will effect other organizations. This will also effect unions, such as the UAW, not to mention organizations like the Sierra club, NRA and Brady bunch. Lets not forget to look at the whole picture.

Second, the employees of a corporation aren't the corporation, the owners are the corporation. The employees work for the corporation. It's not a collective. A union is a different story.
We agree that politicians shouldn't be working for the highest bidder but they do. However we differ on the solution. You want to punish sucessful people for taking advantage of the situation by taking away their freedom of speech.
I want to remove the power of the government to rule over anything that isn't one of the 18 enumerated powers spelled out in Article I section 8 of the constitution. Having their power limited, as intended, would de-centralize the power structure and make it impossible for anyone to buy it. There would be no power to buy. A weak central government is a good thing. This is how it was before the 1930's when the progressive movement started under FDR and expanded the role of the federal government. Since then all parties have been guilty of increasing and centralizing power in DC. It is now completely corrupted to the point that it will fail within our lifetime if it is not reversed.

His populist posturing isn't going to save the republic and I doubt it will effect his poll numbers much in the long term although clearly that is his goal.

I have no problem with successful people (individuals) expressing their interests through donations to a political entity. I have no desire to punish successful people.
I just do not see a corporation as having the same rights as individuals.
One may be made up of the other, but they are still not the same.

I'm a newbie to this board. I just received some Crimson Trace laser grips for my P89 for Christmas.
Have any of you used them? I installed them on the frame and they seem to be fairly accurate out of the box. Any tips on dialing them in at the range?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Canon G15 vs Canon G12
I suppose market research dictates that most folks in this segment want a smaller camera. The older G12 is small enough to fit into a jacket pocket and for me that's small enough thank you very much! There must be many folks with large hands like mine where beyond a certain reduced size, controls become too fiddly to be enjoyable.
One major attribute of the G12 is its articulating screen. I find it invaluable when using a tripod since most light tripods don't extend high enough to reach my eye level, requiring either bending or stooping or both to look through the viewfinder. The G12's screen turned upwards means one can happily use the camera on a low tripod for hours at a time. Ah! bliss.
For me, photography is all about enjoying the experience of taking interesting photographs and less about the current fashion of having the latest or technically the top rated gear. The best gear for me is that which brings me the happiest day out and that's not necessarily the sharpest lens or smallest size etc. I'm keeping a tight hold of my G12 and clinging on to photographic happiness for as long as possible. Thank you DxOMark for pointing out the differences and helping me stay happy!
Am I bucking the trend here?

Mum's the word
May 24th, 2011
Firstly when you are expecting, it is a good idea to wear a bra without an underwire we can recommend the Charlotte Soft Cup Bra by Royce, it has a soft full cup and can be worn during your pregnancy (and after) and gives a really flattering shape. After your baby is born and if you are breastfeeding, there is the lovely Sadie Nursing Bra by Royce, this is a really comfortable bra that will keep you cool when your hormones are making you hot and bothered, as it has thermo regulating properties, it comes in pink & silver, black & silver and ivory & silver. The last bra definitely worth a mention, is the gorgeous Sophie Nursing Bra by Panache, this is a very pretty nursing bra, made in a soft jersey fabric covered with lace. It has detachable straps for breastfeeding and comes in four colours; candy pink, fuchsia & peach, black and Ivory & Peach.
Every mum-to-be and new mum should be able to enjoy every moment, and a comfortable bra is a great place to start!

possible to make pwr windows from wrecker parts
I'd like to make power windows in my 57 chev pickup using wrecker parts. Has anyone seen this done? Any tech articles?
Of course it is possible. That's the way it was done back in the 70s-80s when you couldn't pick up the phone and buy a kit.
If your truck has the typical GM rotating crossbar and 2 channel setup like the cars you should have no trouble doing this. First of all, get a new felt glass channel kit and have it ready to install when you're done fabricating and ready to finish up. This will allow your new window setup to work like NEW.
We used the rear window setups from the back doors of a mid-size Olds 4door sedan form the late 70s-early 80s on the swap we did into a 38 Chevy coupe.
The reason? Rear door mechanism see far less use than do front ones.
You might be able to buy the complete doors for a good price, that makes it easier to see how things work and move and so on while you're figuring how to change your doors. It took us about 8-10 hours to do the passenger side door and about 2 hours to do the driver's side.
You may have to shorten the arms on the mechanisms, or not. You may be able to use the original channels the locators slide in and attach the brackets to your original glass channels that the glass sits in. Once it is sitting in front of you you'll see what needs to be done.

I replaced my rear shocks just because I had to replace the front shocks and stabilizer shocks. Once I did this, my truck ran so much smoother than the OEM. I'm definitely sold on Rancho shocks and love the prices at AutoAnything. Customer for life.

Arsène Wenger believes Emmanuel Eboue has his team-mates to thank for setting him on the road to recovery following last weekend's woes.
The Ivorian struggled on the left flank after replacing the injured Samir Nasri during Saturday's win over Wigan and Wenger's decision to substitute Eboue in stoppage time was cheered by some sections of the Emirates Stadium crowd.
The player was distraught but got a welcome lift in midweek when Arsenal's travelling support afforded him a standing ovation at the Porto game. Wenger acknowledged the fans' role in Eboue's 'rehabilitation' but praised his players for getting the 24-year-old back on track.
"The players have done the biggest part of the job because they supported him very well," said Wenger.
"We want to show that the best way to help him, the Club and the fans is to win our games. You always say that we care about the Club and the only way to show that is to do well for the Club.
"Certainly he has shown that he doesn't bear any grudge and he wants to restore relations with the crowd and I find that fantastic. That doesn't mean that internally he will not suffer."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Krenzien, Muhammad Named to College Sports Madness Preseason Squad
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – With the 2013 season just days away, College Sports Madness (collegesportsmadness.com) released its Horizon League Preseason All-Conference teams and two Green Bay men's soccer players were tabbed to the squad.
Senior midfielder Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) was named to the first team, while Eddosa Muhammad (Fairbault, Minn.) was recognized as the freshman of the year.
Krenzien was a First Team All-Horizon League selection a season ago, collecting all-conference honors for the first time in his career. One of just six players to appear in all 16 games last season, Krenzien finished his junior campaign with two goals and an assist.
A native of Fairbault, Minnesota and a graduate of Shattuck-St. Mary's, Muhammed was ranked as one of the nation's Top 150 players in the class of 2013 by TopDrawerSoccer.com. He helped the Shattuck-St. Mary's U17/18 squad to a Development Academy Playoff berth and a Frontier Division Championship in 2012, the school's first since joining the league in 2010, with an overall record of 15-5-4.
