I have been buying mock turtle neck tee shirts from one of your competitors. I don't want to order from them any more because the quality of the sewing is very poor. Some shirts arrive with the necklines stretched out, with the wrong stitching a knit neck band or improper cuffs for a knit shirt.
When a top with a bad neckline arrives, I use that shirt for everyday wear, but there are not enough well sewn shirts to make it worthwhile to order any more. I am trusting that Junonia garments have better workmanship. The clothing I have purchased from Junonia so far has had good workmanship and I have been very pleased.
Thank you,
Dear Rosemary,
Thanks so much for your thoughtful letter. You've touched on something that's a real point of pride for us. It's also a topic that ties into one of our most frequent customer concerns; namely, why Junonia clothes tend to be a little pricier.
When we say we're dedicated to producing top-quality plus size clothing, we really mean it. Our design team takes care to fit every new item on a professional fit model. Our active pieces are wear-tested by athletes. Every vendor we employ is expected to meet stringent quality and consistency requirements. Taking all of those steps ensures that Junonia clothes fit the way they're supposed to – and will for a long, long time.
Doing all of that doesn't come cheaply, but there's no question in my mind that it's worth it. No one wants to charge higher prices, but sometimes that's the cost of providing true quality. I look at it this way – if a Junonia t-shirt costs a few more dollars and lasts for a few more years, it's more than made up for the difference! And of course there's always our Juno's Closet clearance section, where thrifty shoppers can find the same high-quality plus size apparel at incredible bargain prices.
The bottom line: Junonia is committed to making well-crafted, carefully designed clothes that last and last. I think that's a pleasing proposition for everyone. (Well, maybe not for our competitors!)
Thanks for reading, and keep the letters coming,
Anne Kelly
Founder and Chair

Wayne Law welcomes new faculty members
|Kirsten M. Carlson
|Eric C. Williams
DETROIT (April 19, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce that two outstanding individuals will join its faculty. They are Assistant Professor Kirsten M. Carlson and Assistant (Clinical) Professor Eric C. Williams.
Kirsten M. Carlson will teach Civil Procedure and American Indian Law beginning in fall 2011. She most recently served as a staff attorney at the Indian Law Resource Center in Helena, Mont., with a practice focusing on international and national advocacy to protect the rights of Indian nations to self-government, their lands, cultures and environments. Before that, she was a visiting scholar at the University of Ottawa, a visiting professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, and a law clerk to the Hon. Diana E. Murphy of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
Carlson is secretary/treasurer of the Michigan State Bar Association's Indian Law Section and a past recipient of a National Science Foundation Law and Social Science Dissertation Research Grant and the American Bar Association's Henry J. Ramsey Diversity Award. She earned a bachelor's degree in international studies from the Johns Hopkins University, a master's degree in Maaori studies as a Fulbright Scholar from Victoria University in New Zealand, a juris doctor from the University of Michigan Law School and a doctor of philosophy (political science) from the University of Michigan.
Eric C. Williams will direct the Small Business Enterprises and Nonprofit Corporations Clinic beginning in summer 2011. He previously worked in New York in private practice, as a legal consultant at Labaton Sucharow LLP, as a business litigation associate at Nixon Peabody LLP, and as a managing partner in the Law Office of Coleman and Williams. He also gained experience in the nonprofit sector as director of development at the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island and as senior program developer at Focus: HOPE in Detroit.
Williams earned a bachelor's degree in English literature from the University of Michigan, a master of philosophy in international relations from Magdalene College at Cambridge University and a juris doctor from Columbia University School of Law.
"I'm thrilled to welcome our new faculty members to Wayne Law," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "With the addition of Dr. Carlson, we expand our course offerings and faculty expertise in Native American law and public interest law. With Mr. Williams, we gain a permanent leader of our Small Business Clinic, a clinic that provides services vital to Detroit's redevelopment along with hands-on experience to our students. I look forward to working with each of them."
He added, "I applaud the work of the Faculty Appointments Committee for its work in bringing on such outstanding additions to our remarkable faculty. I am pleased that our students will have the opportunity to learn and apply the law with these individuals."

Bluffdale • As taps played outside the Utah Veterans Memorial Chapel, mourners inside began to cry for eleven strangers.
On the table sat eleven urns of ashes with eleven folded flags: due honors bestowed late for eleven veterans whose remains went unclaimed until now.
The Missing In America Project on Thursday hosted its second military funeral for Utah veterans whose families never collected their remains in most cases because next of kin could not be found. Among the veterans were three World War II soldiers, three combat veterans who served in Vietnam and one who served in Korea.
"Paying final tribute on behalf of a grateful nation is a solemn and sacred tradition," said Roger Graves, Utah's MIAP coordinator.
The group received the cremains from where they had been stored at Deseret Mortuary in Salt Lake City and Tate Mortuary in Tooele. A procession carried them to the Bluffdale cemetery, where they were greeted by an honor guard.
"We can't give enough to the people who have served our country and who serve our country now," said Utah State Sen. Evan J. Vickers, of Cedar City. About 50 people gathered in the chapel to pay respects, including 10 members of the family of Army Staff Sgt. Ralph George Hartley, who served for 11 years, including a tour in Vietnam. Hartley's siblings said they were unable to host a funeral after Hartley's death in 2010 because of a family dispute over his remains.
On Thursday, Hartley's eldest sister, Maryann Edgeman, of Tooele, received Hartley's memorial flag and the formal thanks of the honor guard.
"For our family, this is beyond anything I can say," Edgeman said. "It means everything."
Hartley's family has a deep military tradition; all four of his brothers were veterans and most of his sisters married servicemen, Edgeman said.
"He was very proud," Edgeman said. Hartley lived in Ogden and Tooele.
Four other veterans' flags were folded and given to volunteers, recognizing one veteran each from the Army, the Air Force, the Navy and the Marine Corps.
Those flags and the remainingsix flags will be returned if MIAP eventually locates their families, Graves said.
The cremains were to be buried alongside 15 other veterans who were honored by MIAP in a similar ceremony two years ago, Graves said.
The eleven veterans are:
• Robert Clifford Baird (1929-2009), who served in the U.S. Army from 1953-1955; Korean War.
• Wayne Monroe Butcher (1941-2009), who served in the U.S. Marines from 1958-1962.
• John Eaton Cox (1948-2010), who served in the U.S. Air Force in 1969; Vietnam.
• Dennis S. Fischer (1953-2011), who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1972-1981.
• Howard William Gnadt (1928-2010), who served in the U.S. Army from 1946-1948; WWII.
• Ralph George Hartley (1953-2010), who served in the U.S. Army from 1971-1982; Vietnam.
• George August Heitschmidt (1923-2003), who served in the U.S. Army from 1943-1946; WWII.
• Irvin D. Nickisch (1925-2011), who served in the U.S. Army from 1944-1946; WWII.
• Gary Andrew Savold (1939-2012), who served in the U.S. Army from 1960-1963.
• Jimmie Wayne Tackitt (1943-2011), who served in the U.S. Marines in 1960.
• Dexter Kent Wilson (1941-1991), who served in the U.S. Navy from 1960-1964; Vietnam.
Also honored during the ceremony was Phyllis May Smith (1917-2011), wife of World War II Army veteran Jack Ivor Smith, who died in 1993. She will be buried alongside her husband in another cemetery, Graves said.

He adored his niece and nephews and it broke his heart to know that Lucien would face many of the same challenges as he had. We lost my incredible brother on June 10th to complications of SMA and we miss him terribly. The woot fun, the crazy contests, and especially the community was a big part of his life for quite some time. It is so touching to peek on here periodically and see you unknowingly honoring him the way you have by keeping the SMA charity thread alive. Thank you and blessings to you all.

Phoenix Insider: Total Transformation
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
It's safe to say that Breannah Ranger has changed a bit since setting foot on campus back in 2009.
The 6-foot-2 forward has evolved from someone who played sparingly during her first three seasons at Green Bay into one of the Horizon League's most effective post presences. She finished second in the conference in field-goal percentage (53.5) in her breakout 2012-13 season while averaging 7.3 points in 18 minutes per game off the bench.
She has improved her strength, speed, agility, footwork, defense, shooting and post moves – essentially every aspect of the game she grew up playing with her many brothers, sisters, cousins and the rest of her basketball-loving family in Skokie, Ill. Those improvements helped Ranger lead the Phoenix in rebounds per game (5.1) as a junior last year, posting the first two double-doubles of her career along the way.
As vast as the changes have been on the basketball court, however, the ones off the court have been the most dramatic and most satisfying for Ranger as she prepares for her final year of college.
To read the rest of this story and to learn more about the Green Bay men's and women's basketball teams, check out the 2013-14 Phoenix Insider magazine. The Phoenix Insider is available for purchase ($4) at all Green Bay men's and women's basketball home games, as well as during business hours (M-F, 8-4:30 p.m.) at the Green Bay Athletics offices at the Kress Events Center.

The Casey Report
What is trend investing?
We believe that free markets look after themselves, and that the more free markets are influenced by government intervention, changes in supply and demand, or shifting public psychology, the more an otherwise healthy market gets distorted.
The unintended consequences of these market dislocations can be painfully negative for the unaware, but they can be very profitable for those who take early advantage of the investing opportunities they offer.
As an example, in 1998 Doug Casey looked at the world production, inventory, and consumption of uranium, and realized that while it was at that time cheap and on no investor's radar, demand was going to drive the price up dramatically, and soon. Best of all, there were only a handful of producers. He did his research and picked three of them: Paladin, Strathmore, and Cameco. Within two years, investors were looking at returns of 1,333%, 660%, and 895%, respectively.
Similarly, when the Casey team realized that the housing bubble was about to burst in a big way, they recommended shorting bond insurer MBIA in June 2007. Ten months later, subscribers had a 93% gain.
What subscribers have to say about The Casey Report…
So glad I started a subscription to The Casey Report... I can't imagine all the work your organization must have to do to bring all this information together – and most importantly, write in such a way that the average person like me can understand most of it. From what I have seen so far of The Casey Report, you have the finest-written and most honest and most intelligent publication on the economy that I have ever seen."
– Bill R.
I love the clear, concise, pull-no-punches approach of the letter. It's a relief to me, as a small investor, trying to nurse my little nest egg towards retirement, to hear recommendations in plain English, not some garbled, investment house-speak financial techno-jargon. It lets me know where to plant my funds with confidence."
– Mike W.
Your report was one of the best pieces on real estate I've ever seen. It was off the charts informative. The whole volume was outstanding! You guys make me much smarter than I am. I've only been around a year, but I feel like I'm armed with data that will save me tremendous burdens."
– E. Thomason
The Casey Report examines global economics and markets to identify emerging trends and the investment opportunities they offer — ahead of the crowd.
Identifying emerging economic trends — and exploiting the investment opportunities associated with them — is the underlying principle of The Casey Report. It's a powerful technique that's been tremendously profitable for Casey Research subscribers for nearly three decades.
Doug Casey and his team continually observe global economic and market developments to identify early-stage emerging trends. They then make specific recommendations for investments that will most benefit from those trends.
The goal is profit. The recommendation could be a stock, a physical commodity, an ETF, or a mutual fund. It could even be an option or futures contract, if that's the best way to capitalize on the trend. Whatever the recommendation, the team will provide specific advice about how to get in, and at what price. It may also include what to avoid.
For example, while Americans were still flipping homes faster than burgers at McDonald's, Doug Casey wrote in October 2006:
I believe it's going to get much worse. As people who bought houses with floating-rate mortgages and little money down slip into default, millions of dwellings will hit a no-bid market. And when hundreds of billions in loans go bad, the institutions holding them and the whole American financial structure will be threatened with a deflationary collapse. Millions of people could lose their jobs in an economy that just doesn't need that many mortgage brokers, real estate speculators, and McMansion builders – or waiters at restaurants those brokers, speculators, and builders can no longer afford. The Fed will try to prevent this by creating more dollars. But then foreigners – and smart Americans – will treat the currency units like hot potatoes.
So he advised his readers to get out of mainstream stocks and Treasuries, to be prepared for energy and commodities to take a short-term dive, and to use the fall in commodity prices to stock up on precious metals. His lone voice about the impending disaster was, of course, spot on. And his advice made fortunes for many and preserved fortunes for many more.
The Casey team has been consistently accurate in its forecasts:
- They recommended gold in 2000, when the metal was at $270/ounce
- They recommended energy investments when a barrel of oil was $35
- They recommended uranium stocks for gains as high as 3,000% — and recommended getting out before the uranium bubble burst.
The Casey Report is researched and written by a brilliant four-person team with vast experience in economic and investment policy.

I was intrigued by the comments on the antimicrobial effects of Cu, having used silver sutures in contaminated cases in the 60s. It struck me that an easy and cheap test would be to copper plate [which uses very little ] the door .faucet and toilet handles in an ICU and see if the Hospital acquired infections changed. This is fairly low tech requiring a screwdriver, a auto battery and some CuSO4 [root killer.] or could be done by many firms who do it commercially. Thanks for the really good podcast

Hi, I am a big fan of your great education/entertaining programs. I would like to suggest Vincent to invite experts in antimicrobial resistant bacteria in his newly launched TWiM program. This problem is very serious and thus the WHO themed their day with the antibiotic resistance issue. Likewise the CDC chose a week on September last year to address the devastating health related issue. Inviting Experts and pioneers in this field will highlight and explain queries.

I recall hearing about a bacterial contamination of cantaloupe years ago, which is when I started to wash them in soapy water before slicing.
Of course, I try to follow the rules. We actually cut meat products on the counter between the stove and sink, and the rest on the kitchen island to prevent cross contamination. Often I will prep for cooking by cutting the veggies on a dishwasher proof cutting board on the island, put them in bowls and set aside. Then move the cutting board to the counter, cut the meat and either put it in the bowl or the pan. Then put the cutting board in the dishwasher, set the knife to be hand washed next o the sink. Then cooking is quicker because I have everything ready, using a food safe mise a place.
The other day I was watching an old cooking show with Julia Child. I just about gagged when I saw the other chef she was working with put an herb stuffing between the breast and skin, and then reach over to pick up salt from a bowl with his fingers without washing his hands or using a spoon!
I have a TWiM idea from watching cooking shows, especially one that showed all of the varieties of salt: pink salt, which gets its color from an extremophile bacteria (a tidbit I want to share at the local upscale kitchen store when I get a chance!). Oh, cool, just checking the halophile wiki, I learned they are essential for some fermented foods like soy sauce, sauerkraut, anchovies, etc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halophile

First: Thanks for making a career of TWI-Podcasts! A great service and an entertaining and educational format.
In TWIM #1 you reviewed the antibacterial properties of copper and it's potential for control of MRSA compared to other methods being pursued. While the science of antibiotic mechanisms is fascinating, we may be blinded by the technology instead of understanding the logic of the problem. The references below are a few of the many showing (not surprisingly) that the people who spend their days around hospitals are the reservoirs for MRSA. Anywhere from 6% to 21% of healthcare workers (in this case anyone working in a hospital) have been shown to carry MRSA in their nares. This is higher than the rate in incoming patients. Remove the reservoirs and control is much easier!
While we are great at technical solutions, we are close to powerless at social, particularly politically social solutions. It would seem that a major reduction could be achieved through regular testing of healthcare workers (<$10 & <24hrs) to identify carriers, their removal from patient care, treatment with mupirocin (I believe topically) and return to patient care. Hospitals object to the cost of testing although as carriage rates decrease so would costs. Unions object to the potential unpaid removal from work during treatment as well as the treatment cost.
Doctors generally refuse to be tested, even for hepatitis or HIV. Despite the enormous monetary cost of MRSA to hospitals and to our overall healthcare system, plus the unnecessary deaths, our society insists that "magic bullet" pharmaceuticals and antibacterial hardware are the only way to solve this problem. Pogo had it right about "the enemy".
Thanks again for the education and entertainment. Vincent and your TWIV, TWIP, TWIM teams are an exceptionally bright spot in scientific education!

I'm guessing it will be crafting recipes and items for this event.
I'm guessing it will be crafting recipes and items for this event.
I'm guessing that as well. What I worry about is how they'll judge value of items offered... since some mythicals are much rarer than others. Steam market prices?
Very disappointing event. Much more vile threats and attitude than in regular games. It's only good with 5 man (and 5 man only) stack. I feel bad for people who spent money to gather ingots and just ended up wasting them in the end because 99% of the time the other 4 people on the team don't buy anything and just leave as soon as they hit 100k damage.
Didn't have much patience for the event and had a relieving sigh after I got 3k tokens and just cashed my first and only mythical box.
Luckily I only got that problem once but we were also 2-3man managed to nearly hit 2m once we got a 4th person ea with 500 ish ingots.
Wow, nice. Unfortunately I had school work the entire day, same with the rest of the week...
Hoping to make reading week into Dota week if I can, lol.
Would it be possible to gather 5 people together here to form a party for a few Year Beast runs once he returns to earn decent amount of Jade Tokens? Since it's weekend I will be playing 24/7.
By forming a decent party I mean that we all actually spend gold to buy equipment not just go for the 100k damage minimum which is honestly a waste of time.
Just got the offering items, pretty decent exchange I think.
I have rediscovered Drow Ranger. Can't believe I avoided playing her. Nothing but easy wins with her, except obviously stomp games where my team goes 1-35 in first 15 minutes, other than that it's win-win. Also, seeing how many builds are saying you to get Shadow Blade, I honestly feel it is a huge waste of resources. Instead of Shadow Blade you can rather build Helm of Dominator and Crystalis and you will be hit like a ****ing truck even early game. Engaging without Shadow Blade might be a little harder, but the engagement does not make it OK to spend 3000 gold on an item which can easily be countered and made useless by Dust (180 gold for 2 uses) and Sentry Wards (2 for 200 gold).
Just go Power Treads > Helm of Dominator (so you can switch to semi-jungle/full jungle farming if lane very hard and farm is low, also to be able to exchange more damage and survive easier + start stacking those ancient camps by yourself) > Crystalis (pretty much the point where you just become a killiing machine)
The rest is really up to what enemies you are facing. Black King Bar would be recommended but if there aren't many stuns on enemy team I don't see why you should get, then better go for Satanic immediately or Butterfly if you know your team can cover your ass.
EDIT: This is how Drow Ranger looks like. No, that loss doesn't count because the game ended at 15 minutes, Sniper mid was 1/10 and top lane was 0/8 together. All the others were decent games, good chances for both teams.

Yes, that is a great build. I'm not a big fan of Lothars on Drow either. I like getting an early manta on her as well, I love the extra survivability and move speed.
Lost another game with Drow but only because of dumbasses again. 25 minute game with 2 feeders, Io and Slardar, 0/16 and 1/23 accordingly. Other than troll games like these my Drow run has been flawless which makes it 13 wins in a row.
Made my own build I play every game.

So apparently me with 4 other random pubbies were in the top 10% who dealt the most damage to Year Beast in 2nd cycle and I got Genuine Redhoof. Pleasant surprise :3
On another note, hoping to get my ranking up more. Got it up 200 points 2 weeks ago, and this week it went down about 120. On the bright side, it's slowly climbing...
Drow is good, but not great... I find she goes along the line of Sniper, they're easy to play but not great
Ice arrow -> Viper is better for that
+% more damage for range people -> Nevermore and Weaver do that for everyone
Silence/push -> Kinda a saving grace.... but again BKB/Linkens is common on carries and does nothing to save you
+agi -> 400 range... really so 225 range from your attack range, this seems like a bad version of clinks 1-2 combo +120 attack speed and 60 physical damage no matter how close you are
again the problem with her is BKB/Magic Immunity/Link stops her and has really no good way to deal with the silly if well played carries, and someone in your face makes you loose a very important skill
Weaver with 2 second down time stealth, who 99% of the time will get a linky so stealthing him who will generally be behind you will cause you to waste silence and him to shacuchi, his - armour isn't stoped by BKB since it's physical
Windrunner without a BKB is just a dumb windrunner, you either get truehit so you can hit her or she gets the super mario star for 5 seconds and pelting you with max attack speed hits
But eh I mostly play support, I just win as Chen... WOO CHEN TOP TIER MOTHER ****ING SUPPORT!

She definitely isn't one of the better carries because of how easily she can get shutdown, but a lot of fun to play, at least for me. Any team that won't let her attack causes her to be useless, you just need one person to get in her face and cut off her ultimate.
I don't like Drow pickers in my games. She's way too easy to shut down.
Seriously Viper is silly
50% magic resist, makes him bulky to burst
His slows effect move speed and attack speed
and his images proc the bonus damage from his W for 100% of it's damage? and his passive which slows on hit... he wins with spectre with heroes silly with images
seriously if you want a disgusting wind runner with BKB and crysalis
Enemy goes to focus you
BKB,Wind run 5 seconds of both magic immunity and 100% evasion enjoy, and when you ult there is a chance you do full damage with your ult with 4 attack with a second with a 50% reduction is like picking up a double damage rune, now if you crit during that one second your damage spikes to
50%/50%/87%/50% = 237% more damage then the number shown before armour and reduction.... then when you upgrade to delicious this spikes up to 50%/50%/120%/50% giving you = 270% more damage, also with how crit chance works (if you dont crit the +% increases even at 20% your guarenteed a 1/4 hits then with daed it's like every second hit or third causing a possible 170%/70%/170%/70% =280% to 340% more damage in a second, now
for 5 seconds your invulnerable doing a possible 280% to 340% of shown damage per second lets be fair and average it out to 310% more DPS per second and near impossible to interrupt

Film maker Spike Lee lashed out in a blasting attack on Clint Eastwood because his two films about the battle for Iwo Jima, "Flags of Our Fathers" and 'Leters from Iwo Jima" did not depict the presence of any Negro troops in the battle. "He did two films about Iwo Jima back to back and there was not one black soldier in both of those films. Many veterans, African-Americans, who survived that war are upset at Clint Eastwood. In his version of iwo Jima, Negro soldiers did not exist. Simple as that. I have a different version."
During World War II, it was almost mandatory when making a war film to include an Itallan or a Jew or an Irishman along with a farm boy if the story depicted infantrymen engaged in combat. That was Hollywood's effort to recognize bigotry and to combat it. It was unusual to depict a black skinned soldier in films made during the war. Is Clint Eastwood a bigot? One of the two films mentioned, "Letters from Iwo Jima," essentially focuses on the Japanese perspective so Americans are not dominant players in the film. The other film, for the most part, deals with the story of the men who raised the famous flag and Eastwood certainly deals with bigotry toward Ira Hayes, the Native American, who, despite his heroism, encountered prejudice.
The Marine Corps during World War II was segregated. Negro troops ordinarily served in support groups like the ammunition company which landed on Iwo Jima, but they were not in front line combat roles. Due to Kamikaze attacks, anyone could get killed on Iwo Jima, but the Eastwood film basically focuses on those in the front lines, not those in support functions. Actually, it was not until late 1943 that some Negro units were allowed to serve in combat roles in the Marine Corps, but such units were not present at Iwo Jima.
Hopefully, we have gotten past the WWII formula of making certain every group is presented in a war film. There really is no need for the farm boy character or the cigar chewing Jewish boxer who speaks with a New York City accent. There probably is need for a film which depicts the initial Negro troops who fought on the islands of the Pacific, but Spike Lee is stretching it when he accuses Eastwood of being a bigot. If we used WWII criteria, American Jews should be up in arms at the absence of the Jewish character.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'm not sure there is anything to 'report'. There is a fairly narrow margin of things you can report ... i.e. abuse. Bad breeding practices? Then all BYBs just in it to make a buck would apply.
I'm sorry you are having so many issues and getting no support from your breeder.
I figured it was a lost cause but I am not sure what actions I can if any to "report" her. To whom, I'm not sure. I have had people contact me who have puppies from her with similar health problems. If you look at my history you can probably figure out the breeder.
Health issues, my vet and I are trying to figure out. Several rounds of dewormer don't help. We've done a whole panel of stool tests. We are currently running a blood panel to rule out EPI. Her stool stinks to high heaven and periodically is like cow patties. Her diet is very strict and I'm mostly happy with her food.
She has pretty bad fear aggression. She has lunged at someone before (thankfully she was on a halter and didn't reach the woman). My kennel lady stated she bit a child with no injuries and the child didn't think anything of it, so I am guessing it was a nip though I question why a strange child was approaching my puppy.
I have since contacted a nearby breeder who has proper training. Our work schedules don't work very well over the next four weeks but she is willing and able to help me. She breeds GSD.
Sam was spayed today so I won't be breeding her.
I have made her training more strict - no rough housing, no talking back, and NILIF to the extreme! She is now good with other dogs but very unreliable with people no matter how much I socialize her. It worries me. I'll keep working on her though
She is just shy of 6 months and we have a great bond, as she also does with my parents and brother.
|JakodaCD OA
I'm sorry you've found yourself with an unsupportive breeder Her response to your email sounds pretty ridiculous.
At this point most likely there is nothing you can do especially with a response like that, I mean who says that? "you're a nurse you should be able to fix her"?
Crazy and sorry again.
|I am sorry to hear this. Have you tried contacting a behavioral trainer?
I hate to say this...but forget about her apparently there will be no support.
The health & temperament concerns...is it something the board can help with?
This is completely out of line. A reputable breeder should happily help any of their puppies. This behavior shows that she obviously doesn't care about her pups, in my opinion. Maybe the reason Sam has so many issues is because this woman is a careless breeder.
I'm sorry if I came off a bit harsh, but this made me angry.
I hope things work out for you and your puppy.
Bad breeder
I have contacted my breeder about Sam's numerous issues. The vet encouraged me to do so though I was already skeptical because my experience with her thus far.
I got a reply from her today, stating that I'm a nurse and should be able to fix her health issues and blaming her fearful temperment on my disabled brother (for the record my brother is only mentally challenged, and only mildly, very gentle, doesn't live here and has always been supervised with her)
I am appalled. I've been so good with her and have spent hundreds of dollars on tests. Is there anything I can do? Any more contact with her seems futile.

Over the course of last season, we ran a series of features in the Official Matchday Programme with some Arsenal-supporting London 2012 Olympic hopefuls. We continue with rowing star Moe Sbihi...
It will be at the Eton Dorney Rowing Centre on Dorney Lake near Windsor Castle that 550 rowers – 353 men and 197 women – will compete in the 14 medal events at the 2012 Olympics. Given Great Britain's pedigree in previous Olympics Games – a medal-table topping two gold, two silver and two bronze in Beijing – the pressure will be on Team GB's men and women to deliver on home water.
There are eight rowing events for men at the Olympics and six for women, with two different types of boat used (heavyweight and lightweight) as well as two different types of rowing (sweep and sculling). You are likely to find lifelong Arsenal supporter Mohamed Sbihi involved at the 'power seat' (number five) in the men's eights, having been part of the team that has won silver at the last two World Rowing Championships.
Sbihi has enjoyed great success in the sport, which he took up as recently as 2003, also winning a silver medal at the World Cup Series in Germany and a bronze in Switzerland this year.
With the Olympics getting ever closer, how are your preparations for 2012 going?
Preparations for 2012 are coming along well. I train on the Thames with my teammates and it's really coming to a crucial phase ahead of the Olympics, where we have to be getting our training spot on. Training can be tough and you need your team-mates to help get you through some of the mental and physical barriers you will come up against and likewise, you have to be as supportive as you can of them in return.
How did you get involved in rowing?
When I was at the Hollyfield School in Surbiton a scout from the GB Rowing Team came to visit us, and after doing some tests I was told there and then that I had the physical potential to make a top rower. It was a surprise to me, because I'd only ever thought about football when I was a kid when it came to sport and suddenly this opportunity presented itself. I quickly got involved in the sport and won the Great Britain Indoor Rowing Championships in the under-15 category later that year (2003).
How did you become an Arsenal supporter?
I've been an Arsenal supporter ever since I was a little boy. When my dad moved to London from Morocco he lived in the Finsbury Park area. Therefore, Arsenal was the natural team for him to support and thankfully he passed that tradition down to me.
I have memories of going to Highbury as a kid, though I probably couldn't tell you too much about the games I saw when I was young. The whole experience and environment was what I loved being a part of when I was a kid. My first ever Arsenal game was a match against Liverpool sometime in the mid-1990s, but I can't be any more specific than that.
How often do you make it to Arsenal matches these days?
I get to Emirates a couple of times a season at least. As you'll hear time and time again from other athletes, you don't get a great deal of free time around training. I did make it to the 3-1 win against Stoke. I went with my dad and we had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. It was a good solid win. I train on Saturdays, so I can't make matches then and mid-week games are also hard as I need to be in bed early. Sunday is the best day for me to visit.
Where do you usually sit at Emirates Stadium?
Given that I don't get to matches that regularly, I'm happy to get a seat wherever I can! I've sat in the North Bank a few times, but generally tend to watch from the Clock End. Going to the Emirates is such a fantastic experience – it's a beautiful stadium and being there on a matchday is something else. There's certainly not a bad view in the house.
What have been the highlights for you being an Arsenal fan?
I'd class the whole time we've been managed by Arsène Wenger as my highlight being an Arsenal supporter. It's been so refreshing to see the number of young players we've signed and developed and I count myself very lucky to have watched greats over this period like Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie.
What have been your personal career highlights to date?
My career highlights to date most definitely include getting a silver medal at the 2010 World Rowing Championships, which was held on New Zealand's Lake Karapiro. We followed up with the silver medal once again in the World Championships this year in Bled, Slovenia, finishing just behind the Germans. It was disappointing not to get the gold, but equally it was so satisfying to put in consistent performances two years in a row.
How do you prepare for an event like the Olympics mentally?
I think you have to take every event as it comes and with the intensity of training, look to take every day as it comes too. Of course we know the Olympics is on the horizon and that's the big motivation for doing what we are doing, but you can't be complacent in your mind to think you've already done enough to get a medal. You have to keep working and working.
What kind of host city do you think London will be for the Games?
The Olympics is going to be a great sporting occasion and an event people will remember for a long, long time. London is a great world city where there is always something going on. What is really exciting is so many global visitors will get to experience this city for themselves and hopefully enjoy some fantastic sporting action too. I'm so excited about potentially being a part of it.

The Book Thief
A gentle, even sweet Holocaust movie aimed at the young audience.
Based on a much-beloved book that was a best seller for 6 years, "The Book Thief" mainly shines a light on everyday Germans who were just struggling to get by themselves during the Holocaust- Germans who were no fans of the Nazis.
This is the story of 12 year old Liesel Meminger, who is given up by her mom to foster parents in a tiny rural German village. Tragedy strikes during their train trip to the countryside when Liesel's younger brother dies enroute. Liesel isn't aware her mom is giving her up to save her life. The mom is a gypsy and knows she is doomed by the Nazis.
Liesel's foster parents are a hardened, impatient Rosa (Emily Watson) and a loving Hans (Geoffrey Rush) , who teaches Liesel to read, ultimately giving her a passion for the books which were banned and burned by the Nazis.
As Liesel settles into her new life and becomes fast friends with a village boy, the new family's life is turned upside down when a Jewish teenage boy shows up at their door. He's the only child of a man who saved Han's life in World War One. Hans had promised the dad he'd always take care for his family. Of course, if the hidden Jew is discovered, the entire German family will end up dead or in a concentration camp.
This is a surprisingly sweet film, an inspiring story of how one girl's courage inspired everyone around her.
13 year old Canadian actress Sophie Nelisse is just tremendous, along with the always impressive Emily Watson and Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush.
Do take your tweens and teens. Even for adults, this is a fresh look at the Holocaust , through the eyes of the everyday , powerless German.

Why Women Would Rather Be With Tommy Lee Than You
It isn't just that he's a rocker and famous, Tommy Lee would probably get all the babes without those things. But how? 'Cause he's not a dork. (Not that you, dear reader, are a dork. This advice is for the other readers.) Tommy Lee is a bad boy. He's not a "nice guy". Oh sure, he may be nice,… Read More ›

Green Bay Remains in Fourth Place After Second Round
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Junior Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) shot a 2-over par 74 on Saturday as the Green Bay men's golf team carved two strokes off its score from round one and remained in fourth place after the second round of the 2013 Horizon League Championships at the par-72, 6,770-yard El Campeon Course at Mission Inn Resort Club and Resort.
Green Bay is 30-over par (606) after 36 holes, trailing Valparaiso (290), Cleveland State (292) and Loyola (604) heading into Sunday's final 18 holes. AS a team on Saturday, the Phoenix was 20-over par on the front nine and even on the back nine. To follow the action with live scoring on Sunday beginning at 6:40 a.m. CT, click here.
Ozga's round included four birdies as the junior played the final six holes in 2-under par. With a two-day total of 7-over 151, Ozga is tied for ninth place. Defending champion Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.) bounced back from a tough start and fired a 1-under par 36 on the back nine on Saturday, carding a 75 to also sit in a tie for ninth place after two rounds.
Senior Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) has posted rounds of 74 and 76 to sit one shot in front of Ozga and Ebert in eighth place (150, +6) and give the Phoenix three golfers in the top-10 heading to Sunday.
Freshman Gene Kiela (Plymouth, Wis.) and sophomore Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) both continued the trend of recovering from slow starts. Kiela was 5-over and Boockmeier was 6-over at the turn before both played the back nine at even par. Kiela is tied for 18th after two rounds of 77 (154) while Boockmeier is tied for 27th (159).

Springfield Armory XD/XDM Pistols Test Quiz Questions
I am semi-retired and I am taking a self-passed and self-taught Armorers course and now I am on the Springfield Armory XD/XDM Pistols. I hope to become a part-time light Gunsmith in the future.
There are over 60 quiz questions covering this firearm and I have answered most of them. During my study and research I am having some problems related to some of the following quiz questions. Either I am not sure of the correct answer or I have conflicting answers.
Can you help me determine the correct answers for these few final 5 quiz questions?
Thanks for your help.
Note #35. Which model of pistol has a match grade barrel?
a) XDM pistol
b) XD pistol
c) Springfield does not offer a match grade barrel
Note #36. Another feature that is different between the XDM pistol and the XD pistol is the grip design. - True or False
Note #37. The distance for the reset of the trigger on the XDM pistol is
a) longer than the XD pistol
b) shorter than the XD pistol
c) the same as the XD pistol
Note #38. What is the magazine capacity for an XDM pistol that is chambered for .40 S&W (not in California)?
a) 13 rounds
b) 16 rounds

Note #39. Just like the XD pistol, the trigger must be pulled to take the slide off of the frame on the XDM pistol. - True or False
Pretty much all of these answers can be found on the Springfield XDM Website

"Simply beautifull!! Last year completely satisfied with a 1st birthday model and this year in love with my final product. Very easy to personalize it, great paper quality and perfect pearl finish paper...so delicate. Everyone loved it!!!"
"I received my invitations in 3 days instead of the 7-9 they predicted. My cards are beautiful and their customer service is outstanding. I had one thing I needed to change and the gentleman I spoke with was awesome. He fixed my card for me AND I received a handwritten personal thank you note for using Tiny Prints from him last week. It's awesome that there are still companies out there with outstanding customer service and a quality product. I WILL use Tiny Prints again!"
"Birthday invitation for my daughter's 6th birthday, held in our neighborhood park. I tinted the photo a bit to match the subtle colors in the card. It looked so sweet & timeless! Many people commented on the beautiful invitation."
"My first impression of the invitation was the nice paper quality. It's thick and the flat finish absorbed the colors beautifully-- so they are true to what you see online. I tend to be drawn to simpler designs and this one was a perfect fit of cute without looking messy. I also like the way my picture cropped into the space provided."
"I needed these invitations asap and they came so fast I couldn't believe it. I love the design and the quality. Everyone loved it. It made her first birthday invitation special. I can't wait to put this in her scrapbook."

Logan • For the first time, Matt Wells wasn't behind the scenes.
A longtime assistant coach, Wells was used to being on a plane for the big finish of a whirlwind recruiting season. This time, he was front and center, watching the fax machine spit out letters that mark possibilities for his football program.
This time, the class really felt like it was his.
"We just kind of put our blinders on and put our noses down just to grind for about four weeks, and didn't really come up for much air," Wells said. "I think the first class will always be special."
Although a few big fish got away in the last week or two, Utah State has high hopes for the 2013 signing class. It's one that reflects the patterns the team has developed in recent years: half the recruits are from Utah, and a fourth are junior college players mostly in skill positions. Out-of-state guys hailed from Texas, California, Arizona and Oregon.
There aren't any recruits with four-star rankings, but there are likely to be a few future stars several recruits turned down offers from schools in more prestigious conferences to sign with the Aggies.
Many of those were on the offensive line, a position Utah State recruited hard to replace an upperclassmen-heavy area on their roster. Joe Malanga committed after cancelling a visit to Oregon State, while Tyshon Mosley turned down some late passes by Washington. The Aggies also won recruiting battles with BYU, San Jose State and Colorado State.
Utah State has five offensive linemen who signed, including Mosley, Malanga and Cody Boyer, plus Andrew Chen and Brandon Taukeiaho, who are already on campus. The Aggies also addressed shallow depth at receiver with four incoming prospects, including locals Tyler Fox and Hayden Weichers.
The class is particularly offense-heavy, with three of the seven defensive signees going on missions. But Utah State plugged up the secondary with three incoming defensive backs, including longtime Washington State commit Myron Turner.
Although they lost a few impact recruits to Oklahoma State and Oregon late in the process, Wells said he saw the recruits he did sign were ones who weren't just committed to him, but to the program itself as it continues to develop. New facilities, administrative support and winning have made Utah State a more attractive destination in the past five years.
"I told a kid last week in school, 'I really, really believe we can win with you, but I'm gonna promise you we can win without you,' " Wells said. "'You can jump on board or jump off right now. The kids who come here, we're going to win with.'"

Here is a query that I received recently ……
My mother was Elizabeth Hilton and was born in Wigan, Lancashire in 1900. Her father, John Hilton Sr. was a coal miner and immigrated to Castle Gate, Carbon County, Utah in August 1906. After working and accumulating the necessary funds, His wife Jane and three children joined him in September 1907. At the time John was the Superintendent of the Clear Creek Mine in Carbon County, UT. Family history is that the British Government recalled all her subjects with vitals skills home to help with the Great War (WWI) effort. We do not have a record of when he returned; Jane and 6 children returned in December 1915.
After the War, John returned Castle Gate in November 1920 to become the Boney Boss at the Castle Gate Mine. My mother Elizabeth returned in June 1921 followed by her mother Jane and 6 children (another born in England) in October 1921.
John and Mathew Tyrer (brother to Jane) was killed 08 March 1908 in the Castle Gate Mine Explosion. In total a 174 miners lost their life. To add to our family history, we would like a copy of the documentation that resulted in John and his family returning to England. I have been reading the Defence of the Realm Act (DORA) of 1914 but cannot see where it compelled the return of British subjects. I am hoping that you might be able to help or point me in the proper direction.
Going off subject, I am retired now but several years in our aerospace/defense industries. I find interesting that we spell your defence as defense. Although I have a degree with double major in physics and math, I also have an English Literature minor. My wife was the county spelling champion and two of my three daughters participated in our National Spelling Bees. So spelling is very important in our family.
Looking forward to your reply.
Bill Roberts
Hello Bill,
I have never heard of the British Government recalling men from overseas to return to the UK to assist in the WW1 war effort. I can't see how they would have compelled them to do so and I would tend to think that John Hilton senior went of his own accord rather than at the behest of the UK government. I may be wrong and perhaps one of the MadAboutGenealogy readers will write in and put me right !
I have undertaken, as I expect you have, a Google search for the recall of miners during WW1 and found nothing. Therefore I rather think that the documentation does not exist for John Hilton's recall to England.
The British way of spelling certain words does seem to have alter over the centuries as well as when the British moved to other lands. I think we had better agree to disagree on the way to spell defence !
Sorry not to be able to help you further.

What a wonderful magic show! Luke was incredibly professional and impressed all the adults by remembering many of the kids names after only just meeting them. He had a tough job entertaining 35 kids but the kids (and adults) really enjoyed the show are still talking about it weeks later. We couldn't be happier that we chose Luke and would highly recommend him.

text: Todays Chicago Sun Times "Wallace spent most of the game anchored to the bench and was so ineffective when he was in there that at one point Skiles said he replaced Wallace because he wanted to improve the team's rebounding. Yes, you read that correctly." Aye. First Coach Skiles pulled Wallace for PJ Brown, but before the night was over he pulled him again, this time for the glass smashing b-ball gobbler, big man Michael Sweetney. Good lord, pass the bottle for my liver needs a fixin. Big Ben got yanked for Sweetney. Sweetney, who after 3 years in the league has never had to replace a single pair of shoes, (it's rumored he's still wearing the last pair he played in at Georgetown). In mid August this was posted in this fine forum, "The Pistons offered him a lot, it just wasn't enough relative to the Chicago offer. I don't blame the guy for taking the extra 11M, but if you already have 20-25 milllion banked and another 50 on the table, is the extra 11 that important in your everyday life? Important enough to leave a team thats been built around your limited skills and is a promising contender for another 3-4 years? Apparently it was for Ben. By leaving before the Pistons might've won another title with him on the roster, did he ruin his own chances for making the HOF in the future? It could be all the years in Detroit, all the accumulative runs to the end of the season were the best thing that could've moved him eventually over the top. It's hard to believe he'll ever make it now unless the Bulls reach and win at least one Championship. If you're already as wealthy as he is, and was about to be either way (Detroit or Chicago) is 11M the amount you sack the potential of maybe making the HOF for? Apparently it was for Ben." So it goes, in a fit of emotion, for a few dollars more you find your self getting pulled for Sweetney. Instead of becoming the team that should, you become part of a team of wood. Dead wood. Instead of riding the locomotive built around your rails into the NBA Hall of Fame. You lose your steam and find yourself and possibly your entire legend off rail, down the bank and mired in creek mud. Say it ain't so Joe. Big Ben in his prime was a monster. Our monster. In Chicago, with it's storied stockyards, once the nations butcher, the only thing getting gutted this year is the legend of Big Ben. Pass the Sweetney and hold the gravy..

House values rose 6 percent in 2012 for first gain in 6 years
Values have climbed more than $1.3 trillion to $23.7 trillion since the end of last year and probably will continue to rise in 2013, the Seattle-based home-listing service said in a statement. Residential values had declined each year since 2007, with the biggest drop in 2008, when homes lost more than $3.2 trillion in value, said the real estate database.
Low interest rates, improving employment and prices that remain almost 30 percent below their July 2006 peak have drawn buyers back into the market. A limited inventory of homes for sale has helped push up prices.
"The housing market really turned a corner in 2012, as historic affordability and sustained investor interest helped keep demand at a boil," Stan Humphries, Zillow's chief economist, said in the statement. "As home values rise, and more homeowners are freed from negative equity, we can expect a continued slow transition to a more normal housing environment."
Sales of existing homes increased in November to an annual pace of 4.9 million, up 2.3 percent from October and 11 percent from a year earlier, according to the average of 82 estimates in a Bloomberg survey. Permits to build new homes, a proxy for future construction, rose to a four-year high last month, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.
Nationwide, home values remain down about $5.8 trillion from their peak of $29.5 trillion in the third quarter of 2006, according to Zillow.

Walgreens in Manchester robbed Tuesday
Employees told police that a woman approached the counter, demanding money from the register. The clerk handed over some money to the woman, who fled the store.

She was wearing a dark blue, hooded sweatshirt with a white Timberland logo on the front, and baggy jeans. Her face was covered with a scarf, but the clerk could see that the woman had blue eyes and short blond hair, shaved on the sides, above her ears.

We only count yardage and TDs. 1 point for every 10 yards rushing and 6 points for TDs.
Receiving yards are scored the same.
I would say Parker, Graham then Perry as these three getting the bulk of the carries/touches for their respective team.

I've got Graham and I'm going to start him in my league this week (only because I'm not going to put the rookie Forte in immediately).
The watch with Graham (as you probably know living in Tampa) is that he'll lose carries quickly to Dunn and Bennett if he starts off slowly.

I just....absoloutely hate my RB situation.
Price I pay for taking Brees, Randy Moss, and TJ beofre taking a running back.
Forte has nothing protecting him from defenses playing 8 or 9 people in the box. I have him as a RB2 in one of my leagues, but that league is PPR and I can start 4 WRs and they are Edwards, Colston, Boldin, and Calvin Johnson
Thanks everyone.
I think the plan is to ride Parker through September until one of th eother backs emerges.
I'm really tempted to play Rice vs. the Bengals, but I don't have the guts.
Play Selvin! Denver will not be able to throw the ball against OAK and the raiders have a porous run defense. The saints will score quickly and force TB to throw a lot.
I'm voting Parker and Young
good luck
We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
Yeah, I know. If you look at the rannkings this week, everyone says Young, but 15 carries just isn't very attractive.
Mike Shannahan is the devil, though he is proving to be a soothsayer as lots of teams are copying the strategy.
I'm voting for a RB3 position in our league next year, or at least a flex.
I would start Vilniz Ezerins and Henry Dyer
Willie Parker had a nice game of things today.

Graham and Parker were the right calls. Thanks guys!!!
