John Dewey
John Dewey (October 20 1859 – June 1 1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer.
- See also:
- Democracy and Education (1916)
- We have to a considerable extent, given up thinking of this life as merely a preparation for another life. Very largely, however, we think of some parts of this life as merely preparatory to other later stages of it. It is so very largely as to the process of education; and if I were asked to name the most needed of all reforms in the spirit of education, I should say: 'Cease conceiving of education as mere preparation for later life, and make it the full meaning of the present life.' And to add that only in this case does it become truly a preparation for after life is not the paradox it seems. An activity which does not have worth enough to be carried on for its own sake cannot be very effective as a preparation for something else. By making the present activity the expression of the full meaning of the case, that activity is, indeed, an end in itself, not a mere means to something beyond itself; but, in being a totality, it is also the condition of all future integral action. It forms the habit of requiring that every act be an outlet of the whole self, and it provides the instruments of such complete functioning.
- Self-Realization as the Moral Ideal (1893)
- It is no accident that all democracies have put a high estimate upon education; that schooling has been their first care and enduring charge. Only through education can equality of opportunity be anything more than a phrase. Accidental inequalities of birth, wealth, and learning are always tending to restrict the opportunities of some as compared with those of others. Only free and continued education can counteract those forces which are always at work to restore, in however changed a form, feudal oligarchy. Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.
- The Need of an Industrial Education in an Industrial Democracy (1916)
- Every thinker puts some portion of an apparently stable world in peril and no one can wholly predict what will emerge in its place.
- Experience and Nature (1925), Ch. VI: Nature, Mind and the Subject
- Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
- The Quest for Certainty (1929), Ch. XI
- As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance.
- Quoted in John Dewey and American Democracy by Robert Westbrook (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1991), p. 440; cited in Understanding Power (2002) by Noam Chomsky, ch. 9, footnote 16; originally from "The Need for a New Party" (1931) by John Dewey, Later Works 6, p. 163. (Via Westbrook.)
- Legislation is a matter of more or less intelligent improvisation aiming at palliating conditions by means of patchwork policies.
- Democracy means the belief that humanistic culture should prevail.
- This intelligence-testing business reminds me of the way they used to weigh hogs in Texas. They would get a long plank, put it over a cross-bar, and somehow tie the hog on one end of the plank. They'd search all around till they found a stone that would balance the weight of the hog and they'd put that on the other end of the plank. Then they'd guess the weight of the stone.
- Quoted by Dorothy Canfield Fisher in Vermont Tradition (1953)
Democracy and Education (1916)Edit
Experience and Nature (1925)Edit
- A philosophy has no private store of knowledge or methods for attaining truth, so it has no private access to good. As it accepts knowledge and principles from those competent in science and inquiry, it accepts the goods that are diffused in human experience. It has no Mosaic or Pauline authority of revelation entrusted to it. But it has the authority of intelligence, of criticism of these common and natural goods.
- p. 407–8 cited in: Hilary Putnam (2008) "Pragmatism and nonscientific knowledge" James Conant, Urszula M. Zeglen (2012) Hilary Putnam: Pragmatism and Realism. p. 21
Logic: Theory of Inquiry (1938)Edit
- It is a familiar and significant saying that a problem well put is half-solved.
- "The Pattern of Inquiry" from Logic: Theory of Inquiry
Time and Individuality (1940)Edit
- ...classic philosophy maintained that change, and consequently time, are marks of inferior reality, holding that true and ultimate reality is immutable and eternal. Human reasons, all too human, have given birth to the idea that over and beyond the lower realm of things that shift like the sands on the seashore there is the kingdom of the unchanging, of the complete, the perfect. The grounds for the belief are couched in the technical language of philosophy, but the grounds for the cause is the heart's desire for surcease from change, struggle, and uncertainty. The eternal and immutable is the consummation of mortal man's quest for certainty.
- The rise of new science in the seventeenth century laid hold upon general culture in the next century. The enlightenment... testified to the widespread belief that at last light had dawned, that dissipation of ignorance, superstition, and bigotry was at hand, and the triumph of reason was assured -- for reason was counterpart in man of the laws of nature which science was disclosing. The reign of law in the natural world was to be followed by the reign of law in human affairs.
- In the late eighteenth and the greater part of the nineteenth centuries appeared the first marked cultural shift in the attitude taken toward change. Under the names of indefinite perfectibility, progress, and evolution, the movement of things in the universe itself and of the universe as a whole began to take on a beneficent instead of hateful aspect.
- This new philosophy, however, was far from giving the temporal an inherent position and function in the constitution of things. Change was acting on the side of man but only because of fixed laws which governed the changes that take place. There was hope in change just because the laws that govern it do not change.
- Not til the late nineteenth century was the doctrine of the subordination of time and change seriously challenged. Bergson and William James, animated by different motives and proceeding by different methods, then installed change at the very heart of things. Bergson took his stand on the primacy of life and consciousness, which are notoriously in a state of flux. He assimilated that which is completely real in the natural world to them, conceiving the static as that which life leaves behind as a deposit as it moves on. From this point of view he criticized mechanistic and teleological theories on the ground that both are guilty of the same error, although from opposite points. Fixed laws which govern change and fixed ends toward which changes tend are both the products of a backward look, one that ignores the forward movement of life. They apply only to that which life has produced and has then left behind in its ongoing vital creative course, a course whose behavior and outcome are unpredictable both mechanistically and from the standpoint of ends.
- The intellect is at home in that which is fixed only because it is done and over with, for intellect is itself just as much a deposit of past life as is the matter to which it is congenial. Intuition alone articulates in the forward thrust of life and alone lays hold of reality.
- The animating purpose of James was, on the other hand, primarily moral and artistic. It is expressed in his phrase, "block universe," employed as a term of adverse criticism. Mechanism and idealism were abhorrent to him because they both hold to a closed universe in which there is no room for novelty and adventure. Both sacrifice individuality and all the values, moral and aesthetic, which hang upon individuality; for according to absolute idealism, as to mechanistic materialism, the individual is simply a part determined by the whole of which he is a part. Only a philosophy of pluralism, of genuine indetermination, and of change which is real and intrinsic gives significance to individuality. It alone justifies struggle in creative activity and gives opportunity for the emergence of the genuinely new.
- When we come to inanimate elements, the prevailing view has been that time and sequential change are entirely foreign to their nature. According to this view they do not have careers; they simply change their relations is space. We have only to think of the classic conception of atoms. The Newtonian atom, for example, moved and was moved, thus changing its position in space, but it was unchangeable in its own being. ...In itself it was like a God, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- The discovery that mass changes with velocity, a discovery made when minute bodies came under consideration, finally forced surrender of the notion that mass is a fixed and inalienable possession of ultimate elements or individuals, so that time is now considered to be their fourth dimension.
- It may be remarked incidentally that the recognition of the relational character of scientific objects completely eliminates an old metaphysical issue. One of the outstanding problems created by the rise of modern science was due to the fact that scientific definitions and descriptions are framed in terms of which qualities play no part. Qualities were wholly superfluous. As long as the idea persisted (an inheritance from Greek metaphysical science) that the business of knowledge is to penetrate into the inner being of objects, the existence of qualities like colors, sounds, etc., was embarrassing. The usual way of dealing with them is to declare that they are merely subjective, existing only in the consciousness of individual knowers. Given the old idea that the purpose of knowledge (represented at its best in science) is to penetrate into the heart of reality and reveal its "true" nature, the conclusion was a logical one. ...The discovery of the nonscientific because of the empirically unverifiable and unnecessary character of absolute space, absolute motion, and absolute time gave the final coup de grâce to the traditional idea that solidity, mass, size, etc., are inherent possessions of ultimate individuals.
- The revolution in scientific ideas just mentioned is primarily logical. It is due to recognition that the very method of physical science, with its primary standard units of mass, space, and time, is concerned with measurements of relations of change, not with individuals as such.
- This idea is that laws which purport to be statements of what actually occurs are statistical in character as distinct from so-called dynamic laws that are abstract and mathematical, and disguised definitions. Recognition of the statistical nature of physical laws was first effected in the case of gases when it became evident that generalizations regarding the behavior of swarms of molecules were not descriptions or predictions of the behavior of any individual particle. A single molecule is not and cannot be a gas. It is consequently absurd to suppose that a scientific law is about the elementary constituents of a gas. It is a statement of what happens when a large number of such constituents interact with one another under certain conditions.
- The application of scientific formulations of the principle of probability statistically determined is thus a logical corollary of the principle already stated, that the subject matter of scientific findings is relational, not individual. It is for this reason that it is safe to predict the ultimate triumph of the statistical doctrine.
- Classical science was based upon the belief that it is possible to formulate both the position and velocity at one time of any given particle. It followed that knowledge of the position and velocity of a given number of particles would enable the future behavior of the whole collection to be accurately predicted. The principle of Heisenberg is that given the determination of position, its velocity can be stated only as of a certain order of probability, while if its velocity is determined the correlative factor of position can be stated only as of a certain order of probability. Both cannot be determined at once, from which it follows necessarily that the future of the whole collection cannot possibly be foretold except in terms of some order of probability.
- The utmost possible regarding an individual is a statement as to some order of probability about the future. Heisenberg's principle has been seized upon as a basis for wild statements to the effect that the doctrine of arbitrary free will and totally uncaused activity are now scientifically substantiated. Its actual force and significance is generalization of the idea that the individual is a temporal career whose future cannot logically be deduced from its past.
- Individuality, conceived as a temporal development involves uncertainty, indeterminacy, or contingency. Individuality is the source of whatever is unpredictable in the world.
- But the individual butterfly or earthquake remains just the unique existence which it is. We forget in explaining its occurrence that it is only the occurrence that is explained, not the thing itself.
- The mystery is that the world is at it is -- a mystery that is the source of all joy and all sorrow, of all hope and fear, and the source of development both creative and degenerative. The contingency of all into which time enters is the source of pathos, comedy, and tragedy.
- Genuine time, if it exists as anything else except the measure of motions in space, is all one with the existence of individuals as individuals, with the creative, with the occurrence of unpredictable novelties. Everything that can be said contrary to this conclusion is but a reminder that an individual may lose his individuality, for individuals become imprisoned in routine and fall to the level of mechanisms. Genuine time then ceases to be an integral element of their being. Our behavior becomes predictable, because it is but an external rearrangement of what went before.
- Surrender of individuality by the many to someone who is taken to be a superindividual explains the retrograde movement of society. Dictatorships and totalitarian states, and belief in the inevitability of this or that result coming to pass are, strange as it may sound, ways of denying the reality of time and the creativeness of the individual.
- Freedom of thought and of expression are not mere rights to be claimed. They have their roots deep in the existence of individuals as developing careers in time. Their denial and abrogation is an abdication of individuality and a virtual rejection of time as opportunity.
- The ground of democratic ideas and practices is faith in the potentialities of individuals, faith in the capacity for positive developments if proper conditions are provided. The weakness of the philosophy originally advanced to justify the democratic movement was that it took individuality to be something given ready-made, that is, in abstraction from time, instead of as a power to develop.
- The other conclusion is that art is the complement of science. Science as I have said is concerned wholly with relations, not with individuals. Art, on the other hand, is not only the disclosure of the individuality of the artist but also a manifestation of individuality as creative of the future, in an unprecedented response to conditions as they were in the past. Some artists in their vision of what might be, but is not, have been conscious rebels. But conscious protest and revolt is not the form which the labor of the artist in creation of the future must necessarily take. Discontent with things as they are is normally the expression of the vision of what may be and is not, art in being the manifestation of individuality is this prophetic vision.
- To regiment artists, to make them servants of some particular cause does violence to the very springs of artistic creation. But it does more than that. It betrays the very cause of a better future it would serve, for in its subjugation of the individuality of the artist it annihilates the source of that which is genuinely new. Where the regimentation is successful, it would cause the future to be but a rearrangement of the past.
- The artist in realizing his own individuality reveals potentialities hitherto unrealized. The revelation is the inspiration of other individuals to make the potentialities real, for it is not sheer revolt against things as they are which stirs human endeavor to its depth, but vision of what might be and is not. Subordination of the artists to any special cause no matter how worthy does violence not only to the artist but to the living source of a new and better future.
- Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians; it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality. Those who have the gift of creative expression in unusually large measure disclose the meaning of the individuality of others to those others. In participating in the work of art, they become artists in their activity. They learn to know and honor individuality in whatever form it appears. The fountains of creative activity are discovered and released. The free individuality which is the source of art is also the final source of creative development in time.
- The only way to abolish war is to make peace heroic.

- Widely misattributed on the internet to Dewey, who actually attributes it to Hinton in Human Nature and Conduct: An Introduction to Social Psychology (New York: 1922), p. 115.
- Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
- This is a paraphrase of an idea that Dewey expressed using other words in My Pedagogic Creed (1897) and Democracy and Education (1916); it is widely misattributed to Dewey as a quotation.
- Cf. James William Norman, A Comparison of Tendencies in Secondary Education in England and the United States (New York: Teachers College, Columbia University, 1922), p. 140 (emphasis added): "...there has for years been a strong and growing tendency in the United States under the leadership of Dewey, and more recently of Kilpatrick, to find an educational method correlative of democracy in society with the belief that education is life itself rather than a mere preparation for life, and that practice in democratic living is the best preparation for democracy."
- To free one's mind of chains is to free it of the care of what is acceptable or viewed so by society, this is when true freedom is discovered.
- This text is commentary (not a quotation of Dewey) that was added to this page at 05:36, 2 February 2009 (UTC); the text was later removed from this page but not before being misattributed to Dewey on several web sites, including in a sermon given at an Episcopal church. The statement was commenting on a quotation from Democracy and Education (1916): "The first step in freeing men from external chains was to emancipate them from the internal chains of false beliefs and ideals."
Quotes about John DeweyEdit
In [Dewey's] thought the hope of achieving a vantage point which transcends the corruptions of self-interest takes the form of trusting ... "the procedure of organized co-operative inquiry which has won the triumphs of science in the field of physical nature." ...
Not a suspicion dawns on Professor Dewey that no possible "organized inquiry" can be as transcendent over historical conflicts of interest as it ought to be to achieve the disinterested intelligence he attributes to it. Every such "organized inquiry" must have its own particular social locus. No court of law, thought supported by age-old traditions of freedom from party conflict, is free of party bias whenever it deals with issues profound enough to touch the very foundations of the society upon which the court is reared.
- Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nature and Destiny of Man (1941), vol. 1, pp. 110-111.

completely agree!
Dascha said:
Hey! I'm still kinda on the challenges, I'm drawing a comic every day and try to do as much as I can...
But the forum here doesn't seem to be very active! Neither do the groups...
Anybody else feels like it's a shame that so many threads are dead in here?Now that the IZM is on, it would be really cool to for me to have some more interaction with other people who make zines online! Anybody has an idea where people are? Please don't tell me it's all facebook and twitter now :(
Day 31 - Log into WeMakeZines and write about your experience or write about it on your own blog.
Hi everyone! We're at the end of International Zine Month 2013 - how did you find it? What did you get up to! If you want to reply to this thread with any blog links about IZM2013, I'll share them with my blog when I update tomorrow :)
I pledged to do every single challenge listed - unfortunately due to lack of planning I didn't manage to complete a few, but did most of them. I also read a zine every single day this month! You can read all about my experiences on my blog: http://spillthezines.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/International%20Zi...
I'll admit. I've been busy posting other places and not very good at doing all of the activities. That's alright. It has been in my thoughts. I'm thinking about next year making it a sort of score card where you add your points up in the end because I seriously doubt anyone did ALL of the items!
SO, for the last day I have changed it to HallowZINE! This is a day to remember zines and zinesters that are no longer with us. I even made a sort of silly shrine online where you can light fake candles for past zines and zinesters. http://nshrine.com/shrine/HallowZINE
Thanks everyone for playing along this year!
Although I did nowhere near the full list, I did get booted up the backside to do more zine things than I've previously managed this year. Printed 250 zines, got a zine exhibition up, and re-delved into my zine box which has reminded me why the things of zinery are worth attention more sometimes than the mainstream and the online. Thankyou paper people, you are ace and I am glad to be one of you!
awesome! :)

i tried to enter my photo into the clouds competition tonight, and it looked as if i'd uploaded it successfully (or so i thought). however, i cannot find it anywhere on the photography blog website.
i thought that maybe i hadn't followed the instructions properly, so i tried again. i still can't find my photo! what worries me now is that maybe there is some kind of delay before the entries are shown on the site & i will be disqualified if my photo turns up twice!
what a pickle i've got myself into! needless to say, i'm totally new to this. i would be grateful if anyone could help & advise me on where i went wrong and what i should do next. i would like to see my photos online even though i know i've no chance of winning this competition, as i'm a total amateur.
thanks for taking the time to read my question. any replies would be greatly appreciated

hi mark,
thanks for your reply.
i have tried again, all seemed to be going well. after download ended a page appeared for only about 2 seconds before disappearing & i was back on the gallery page (not quite sure which page of phtographyblog i was returned to, but it seemed like a normal page with no error warnings at all). the only way i know that something is amiss is when i try & find my photo on the website to no avail.
the disappearing page that appeared after download goes so quickly that i don't get much of a chance to read it! i think it says something along the lines of - "click here if you don't wish to wait or your browser doesn't direct you.....). after it disappeared i tried clicking the back button to try & get a shot at reading it before it quickly disappeared again! i did manage to click on the link (click here if you don't want to wait) but nothing happened. whether this was because i missed it the first time & it wouldn't work because i had clicked the back button, i honestly don't know.
what i do know is that all this is pretty frustrating! my account shows no photos at all.
just had a thought -
i joined photographyblog originally so that i could ask a question about advice for buying a digital camera. my account was validated for forums, but i wonder by now whether i needed to register again for the photo gallery? when i tried to enter the clouds competition, all seemed fine & i didn't get any kind of message stating that i needed to register or log in again.
it's not the end of the world if i can't post my photo on this site, but it would make my day!
thanks again
i managed to upload 2 other photos succesfully last night to my gallery. i tried to do the same with the photo mentioned above, but without success!
in all cases, a message showed onscreen to say that i had uplooaded successfully, but there was still no sign of the elusive photo.
if i have time i will try & upload a few others tonight - fingers crossed!

One way to do the calculations
Re: Course to steer at a given speed.
First, I'd like to say thanks for all of the responses. You guys have really given insight to someone who doesn't spend much (if any) time on the water. (Marine nav. is just a hobby of mine.)
Second, a big thanks to svHyLyte. Your explanation of Polars is exactly what I was missing.

Thanks, again!
Re: Course to steer at a given speed.
Jack, JRD etc..
Of course, this is predicated on the ability to point.
I add 3-5 degrees of lee way as an assumption when I'm laying base course lines.
Absolutely correct - but, assuming the OP doesn't have a chartplotter and a autopilot to follow it, the exercise is a good one - to determine an approximate course to get one near his destination.
That curved course line looks a lot more like a snake every time I look at my wake.
Re: Course to steer at a given speed.
Actually, if you use the bearing line on your chartplotter and change your heading to compensate for leeway, current, etc in order to keep the line on the destination you will travel a straight course to the destination. In your example Jack, if the current is ebbing in Georgia in order for the bearing line to be pointed at Silva B you will have to be pointing further and further N as you get into the main current and then less as you get out of the current as you approach destination. The bearing line gives you your direction traveled over the ground so it adjusts your heading if you keep the line on the destination. I do it all the time crossing Rosario in the power boat and end up with an arrow straight line regardless of the varying currents.
Re: Course to steer at a given speed.
sv+ jack- note the smiley at the end? Tongue in cheek response to the OP's question about a straight line solution to his question. I too have been getting where I'm going for 40 years. Here in the PNW it's not uncommon to be crabbing 40-50 degrees one way and then the other a few minutes later while trying to maintain a course.

In other words, line up the bearing line on your chartplotter with your destination and do your best to get there as soon as possible:-))
Your use of a bearing line will result in a curved course.
A example is crossing Georgia Strait from Vancouver to Silva Bay. On a strong ebb if you wish to minimize the time on course you will have to point further north than the bearing found on your chartplotter. If you simply use the bearing and maintain it you will up down by Thrasher Rock.
Of course, this is predicated on the ability to point.

"If I were on a ship which was 10nm due East of port, with a set of 360° and drift of 3 kts., and I needed to arrive in port in exactly one hour, what course and speed should I use?"
I figured the answer to be 253° at 10.5 kts. But then I started to wonder: That's all well and good for a vessel under engine power, but what about a sailboat? I know the way to figure course to steer at a given speed, but wouldn't turning a sailboat into the current (as in my example) actually slow the speed through the water enough to change the necessary course to steer? Or is this error so small as to be negligible? Or is there some other way to factor that in?
BTW - am average boat speed 10.5 knots in a sailboat is really rather quick.
If you really want to get it right, you also need to account for leeway.
Re: Course to steer at a given speed.
I'd do what my old man taught me..
"Put some 'money in the bank', head up higher than you think, it's easier go spend the money than it is to get more later on".
And I'd watch the shore once I could see it... is my bow "giving up land"? then head up. "eating land"? bear off. Steady bearing? then keep on. And it won't be my headstay that's heading toward port, it'd be some point on my stbd bow that's heading towards our course-made-good. So if the heading is 253 to make good 270, then the seabuoy will come up 17 degrees on the starboard bow.
That would get me there without a lot of course change. And I could do the hypotenuse calcs roughly in my head. And by pocket GPS would give me the speed made good, so I could figure out how many minutes to get there. But I couldn't necessarily make it come out 60 minutes, if we weren't making the speed. Speed along that hypotenuse is much trickier under sail than power. We sheet 'em in, and that's our speed. So we take what we can get, we don't control speed, and luffing for 10 miles (or more, once you know what 'C-squared' is) to slow down is hard on the sails.
So precise trackline-following for sailboats, and precise predicted-log speed, is more seat-of-the-pants than it is math for most of us (meaning me), this is especially true on a beat. So we'll reach port when we get there.
Also sailboats sideslip more than powerboats, it's our nature. So you have to allow for a crosswind even in still current.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Lilie- I found your post helpful to me, too! I hadn't thought about that as a way to get a pup's attention. Was wondering how I'm going to get the attention of this ball of energy during class!
Kyleigh- beautiful story! It's a beautiful thing to witness... one dog helping another! I'll bet things got much better for Olive after this interaction!
Thorny- your pup is absolutely gorgeous! Hope to see many more pics of him.
At this young age, I don't believe you're going to see much "alphaness" in your pup! I'm not saying your pup's not an alpha, personally, I think it's too soon to tell. Confident? Over the top? Hyper? Active? Demanding? Sure ... all of these, and all of these can be normal, depending on the line of your dog. l
My last dog was an alpha female, and she was a thing of beauty to watch interact with other dogs. BUT, she wasn't like that as a puppy ... she was just that as a puppy - a ball of fur, four long legs and tail and floppy ears. By the time she was two and a half (socially / mentally mature) her "alphaness" blossomed.
A true "alpha" (I personally prefer the term leader) never shows aggression EVER, towards another dog. Abby used to mediate dogs at the dog park. She'd simply stand there and watch them play, and if she noticed that the "level" was getting a bit too much, she'd simply walk over and insert herself between the two dogs. No growling, no lip curl, nothing but her physical presence. Guess what ... the dogs calmed down INSTANTLY.
Here's another story about "a true alpha" ... it's a long one ...
I got an email from a friend who needed help with her dog, Olive. She adopted Olive from the Humane Society and was told that Olive was 3 years old, and a rottie-mix. I went over to her house and met her dog - such a great dog, lots of fun and full of life.
A couple of weeks later I get an email – Olive had turned into a terror at the off leash dog park. Apparently, she was "attacking" the other dogs. Most people were helpful, but after repeated "attacks" she was asked to keep her dog away from their dogs.
After consulting with my roommate (at the time), we agreed to have Olive come by and see what the hoopla was all about. When I met Olive, I had certainly not witnessed any displays of aggression or dominance … however, I hadn't seen her interact with other dogs.
We were also babysitting another dog, so we kept the other dogs in the house and gave Olive about 10 minutes to scope out the backyard and learn who lived there. I have to admit, I was hesitant to have Abby meet her first … if Olive really did attack, I wasn't sure what would transpire between her and Abby. The last thing I wanted was a REAL dog fight and not some snapping of jaws and growling. My friend had to leave to run some errands, so off she went while my roommate and I prepared for introductions.
We decided to let the big goofy Bernese come out first. As soon as Jo came out, Olive came running up **** bent for leather and jumped right in his face. Jo backed up a bit, let out a low growl and moved away. Undeterred, Olive continued her overenthusiastic jumping and pouncing greeting. Jo NEVER growls. This dog has the patience of a saint, and the most relaxed temperament I have ever seen on ANY dog. Every time Olive jumped in his face, he growled, and backed off. When she pounced on him, he growled and moved away. After about 5-7 minutes, she got the hint and started playing with him in normal "doggie fashion." Play bows, barking, running in circles, and simply having fun. Fifteen minutes later her interest waned, and she started checking out the yard again.
Now it was time for Abby to come out and greet the newcomer. At this stage, I wasn't worried about Olive being aggressive (she is so NOT aggressive!) however, I was concerned that if she greeted Abby in the same fashion, she might not understand the correction that Abby would make. I needn't have worried at all. We let Abby out and Olive came running up 90 miles an hour, to see the new dog. As soon as she was within about a foot of Abby's presence, she dropped and rolled on her back!
Oh yeah, this is one AGGRESSIVE ROTTIE … hold back your dogs people …Olive's going to eat you!!! Needless to say my roommate and I were stunned. Abby stood beside Olive and let Olive smell her. Then Abby nudged Olive to stand up (which she did) and then Abby proceeded to sniff her. They had a wonderful, slow and CALM "get to know each other" session. It was the most beautiful event to watch.
We let the three dogs run around and play for about 15 minutes before we brought out the next dog, and then the next one. For about 45 minutes the five dogs had an absolute field day.
Olive displayed NO aggression at all … what we did learn was that Olive was a SOCIAL MORON … she simply had NO CLUE how to meet and greet other dogs. And when she came face-to-face with a balanced and well socialized alpha, she knew exactly what to do.
Then we decided to let out the last dog (he was the last one because he displays some inappropriate behaviours – growling, lip curling, attempting to dominate other dogs. He is very respectful of Abby – she's corrected him in the past, but we weren't sure how he'd react with Olive.)
It did not go well, at all. My roommate called Olive over and we let out the last dog. He ran around sniffing the other dogs, and then we let Olive go. They came up to each other, it was just the two of them within a 3-4 foot radius and I see his lip curl, and BAM he's on her. On the plus side, he weighs about 12 pounds … on the even bigger plus side … Abby came flying over to help my roommate and I. She did a great job … we got the little dog out of the way and Abby went over to Olive and stood beside her.
We waited about 5 minutes, and then let them go again. NOPE. As soon as the little dog came near Olive, he went after her like a bat out of ****. Same result. Thank you again to Abby for helping us out!
We decided to try it one more time. It didn't work. He went after her harder than he had the first two times. This time, all the dogs were hyped up. It took about 15 seconds to get the other dogs out of the way, (thankfully, they are trained, and do listen!) while Abby was busy getting the little dog under control. She was herding him out of our way, and away from Olive.
Poor Olive was in shock … she had no idea what she'd done wrong (nothing) and was sitting on the ground shaking, head hung low, ears down, and eyes downcast. We knew we needed to get her out of the state as soon as possible.
We put the little dog back in the house, and then we watched a miracle unfold.
Abby went up to Olive and licked her ear (we found out after that she'd got her ear caught in a dog's mouth – just a little scratch, nothing serious). Then Abby licked under her chin, Olive's head rose up. Abby then circled around Olive, giving her lots of "licks" around her ears, her snout, and under her chin. Olive stood up and started walking, Abby walked beside her. Abby's tail started to wag, and she was still "encouraging" Olive to move with her. Suddenly, Olive's stubby tail starts a slow wag, and then over the course of the next 30 seconds, her whole body position changes. Her tail starts to wag faster and faster, her head comes up, neck is up, ears perk up, and she's now PRANCING around the backyard. The other two dogs come over to see what is happening and WHAMO, Jo, the big Berner gets her going, and they are off.
While I was watching this miracle unfold, I had tears in my eyes. My roommate and I both knew that Olive needed to be reassured that she hadn't done anything wrong, before we had a chance to move in and get her moving, Abby did what she was born to do … lead, guide, heal, teach, interrupt, encourage and love.
So that's my definition of alpha, leader of dogs, whatever you want to call it. Your puppy could very well be an alpha, but like I said earlier, I think it is way too soon to even think about those types of behaviours coming from your puppy! He's got some growing and maturing to do first!!!
It's also very important for people to recognize the difference between a dog that's a born "alpha / leader" and a dog that is a dominant PITA ... a lot of people (I'm not aiming this at you, OP, just a general comment) think that ANY dominant dog is an alpha ... this is so not true, and can certainly lead to the owners letting the dog get away with bloody murder b/c they think their dog is a leader.
On a final note, your puppy is freaking adorable!!!! I love that first pic with him half off the ground!
|Thanks for the constructive help in this thread. I really appreciate it.
|Check out some of the Michael Ellis videos [some are free to watch] on leerburg.com. He has several on how to get your pup/dog to focus on you. Very cute pup you have there!!
With smaller dogs he climbs on top of them, nips at necks and chases.
Inside the dog park but away from the other dogs he will sniff the bushes while I walk away then play catch up. He will come when I call, chase and return balls, but he has zero recall if playing with other puppy's.
This is where you need to get smart. Find something that really, really turns him on. Might be a high value food treat, chicken, hot dog, cheese etc. Might be a high value toy, maybe a squeaky ball or a Kong toy. Something that causes your pup to give you full attention. Let that be your secret weapon. Use it to your advantage. Don't over use it, so your pup gets bored with it.
You can even try making strange noises with your mouth. When your pup comes to investigate, REWARD! Every time your pup focuses on your REWARD! Sit in your home, make a noise, when your pup comes to you, REWARD! Then take it outside and try with added distractions. Throw a reward party for the itty bitty reactions that you want your pup to make. Make a fool out of your self it that helps.
You have to be clever and figure out how to push the buttons on your pup. Read, learn. You can never have enough 'tools' in your training tool box. Figure out what works for your pup.
You are probably right Jag, my breeder likley got it wrong. Does Grimm poop potpourri too. I can do without your advice in my threads.
this is a forum. people don't have to agree with you. there's a
lot of well trained and highly socialized dogs here. the dogs
became that way because of knowledgeable people. dominance
and alpha are overrated. people mistake dominance and alpha
for a lack of control as in the picture of your dog at the end
of the leash. instead of having the dog at your side you let
him pull to the end of the leash. that's not dominance that's you
not controlling your dog. when it comes to advice you need a lot
of it. i hope you follow it so you can have a well trained, highly
socialized dog.
the way you described your dog playing sounds like normal
play. when your dog gains more confidence he'll stop
running between your legs.
You are probably right Jag, my breeder likley got it wrong. Does Grimm poop potpourri too. I can do without your advice in my threads.

Exercise the dog before classes to get some of the energy out. Socialize with only stable dogs that can show your pup stable behaviors.

nice looking pup. you have to teach him how
to meet and greet. with training and socializing
your pup is going to be fine. i think a dog should
be able to be approached from any angle and
touched anywhere by a stranger and not react.
when my dog was a pup i made sure he was petted
all over his body by strangers and approached from all angles.
|Maybe a front clip harness to help the puppy learn to turn around and focus on you instead of a standard back clip? We use a Freedom harness by Wiggles, Wags, and Whiskers on both of our dogs and it works great!

Chewy Molasses-Spice Cookies
The holidays wouldn't be complete without a jar of these spice cookies.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 36
Source: Everyday Food, December 2005
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a shallow bowl, place 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat butter and remaining cup of sugar until combined. Beat in egg and then molasses until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in dry ingredients, just until a dough forms.
Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 tablespoon. Roll balls in reserved sugar to coat.
Arrange balls on baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Bake, one sheet at a time, until edges of cookies are just firm, 10 to 15 minutes (cookies can be baked two sheets at a time, but they will not crackle uniformly). Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; transfer to racks to cool completely.

For at least two hundred years, newspapers have been an important factor in the rise of democratic societies and the creation of societies in which people could readily communicate information. The Philadelphia Inquirer, among America's oldest newspapers has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as advertising revenue declines, particularly from the impact of the current recession. The value of a share in The New York Times has declined to a few cents and newspaper after newspaper is moving toward bankruptcy and the end of their presence in American communities.
The Internet serves a purpose, but it will not readily replace a good newspaper which can offer columns and in depth information that is sadly lacking on most Internet websites. The end of newspapers will also be the end of the most significant factor in communication within societies. Will we be better or worse for their decline?

Hi all,
I'm new the forum so apologies if this is not the correct area (couldn't seem to find another place to post!)
I'm also new to the world of photography and own the entry level Canon 400D. At the moment I'm pretty much familiarising myself with all the manual features. I'm still finding my feet into terms of "style" but am really interested in exploring black and white as well as some vintage effects.
So to my question... the vintage "style" I'd like to experiment is somewhat subtle (no vignetting etc). Best example I could find is below:
Excuse the ignorance, but how (if at all) is this achievable with a DSLR? I'm sure this achievable through post-processing but is there a better more purist way? Are there any lenses or filters that are recommended?

Re: Thinking about living aboard
I think cost is a bad reason to live on a boat. I think it will be in very few cases that you will spend less to live on a boat than on land. There will be exceptions, of course, but this is the most common reality. It can be done, obviously, but I am accounting for comfort, maintenance, seaworthiness, etc.
The exception to this is if you can't afford both a house and a boat, but want a boat. In that case, live on the boat!
I agree with the person who mentioned the difference between paying for something that is yours and simply paying rent for an apartment. The boat may be a bit more, but at least it's yours! You'll never see that rent money again.

Re: Thinking about living aboard
are you planning to live aboard or cruise somewhere? the cost depends a lot on the boat you will buy and on what you will do with her...

So your example is 420 a month for the same 30 footer and I am sure apartments are a lot less than a 1000 for a studio/one bedroom, so there really is not much savings once you factor in boat payment.
Of course you have the benefit of living on a boat! That is priceless. I have a hard time understanding the difference in costs at different marinas around me. One marina that is about 5 miles from the one quoted above is 95 a foot, has almost no parking and is right next to a bunch of bars. Not my cup of tea.

Re: Thinking about living aboard
Yes, the way I ran the numbers I will be way ahead by living on a boat, before maintenance. I am sure maintenance will push me a bit over the cost of an apartment, but not by much. I can only afford either a boat or an apartment, not both. I can't buy a house as the X-wife will have that, and it is on my credit, so I can't buy a house till she buys me out or sells when the kids are out on there own. (or I win the lottery!) So for me it is because I can only afford one or the other, so it is a fairly easy choice. I will be on the water come spring. Now if I keep it on a mooring, it will be way cheaper than an apartment, but will take 2 months rent in extra systems, like solar. I don't really think I am ready for that, but have not decided. One mooring field by me is very bare bones, no electric or water, no bathrooms or anything.

Re: Thinking about living aboard
Deltaten, Good news! From the northern Chesapeake and south into Florida are some of the best places to easily live aboard with good slip rates. Since you're in North East, MD take the short trip over to Tidewater in Havre d'Grace. The last time I was there they had a fairly large number of older used sailboats up on the ways and some with a lot of potential.

Im tired of throwing money way every month to have nothing that i can call my own when its said and done, plus id like to save a little where i can. ive always loved sailboats, although i have very little experience with them. i have never sailed a boat in the 29'-35' range, the range im am looking at living aboard. right now ive got my eye on a 1977 cal 2-29.
Im looking for any advice, wisdom, or thoughts on the matter.
I lived on A Catalina 36 for a few years. Good enough for one person but not that roomy after a few weeks....
The best part of living aboard is sleeping on a boat. The worst part is walking through the rain to the showers in the dark and cold.....
Don't forget to figure in the costs of hauling out and redoing the bottom every couple years, some engine work you may not be capable of, replacing thru hulls and redoing any exterior wood when needed. Even doing all my own sanding, fairing and painting, my yard bill came to $1500 or so with a little work by the yard, rental on the collection system sander, lots of beer and burritos and bottom paint.
Just allow for more room than you think you need and all the expenses to make a good comparison. Try to get a slip close to the showers and up wind so you can open the cabin in the rain without soaking the interior. Am getting ready to move aboard again and won't go less than 42', preferably 45' or so.
Good luck!

I also do my fair share of hiking and biking, weather permitting of course.
After 10 plus years, I still love entertaining people and I'm thankful every day that you give me that opportunity.

First, I write these reports, and post him at two boards. Before I write these reports, I read what other people have written. A great thanks goes out to Uncle Ty, who got it right. Yes, Afflalo was pretty awesome in this game. He scored 11, and made one GS player after another miss a shot. He entered the game with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, and we went on a 24-5 run. We also went on a smaller run with Afflalo in the game in the first half.

Of concern, Tay only got 2 minutes rest. But, wait, this was a game broadcast on TNT, which means Tay got a lot of rest. Everery commercial break was longer than normal, and halftime was longer than normal.Still, yes, he was pretty darn tired there in the 4th quarter. And this is the front end of a back to back set. We got LA tomorrow.

Ok, the game. Curry decided that since we have several games in a row coming up where he would rather have Kwame start, that he would go ahead and start him tonight to get the team use to Kwame starting. But GS uses a small lineup, so for this game, Kwame starting made little sense.

Worse, after Curry realized it made no sense having Kwame out there, he makes matters worse by bringing in a non-NBA player, Walter Herrmann. That lasted 3 ugly minutes and we were way down. Of course, there was still plenty of time left. Afflalo came into the game, and we won. The circular route, but we won the game.

AI scored plenty, seemed to at least fight on D. And yes, he was out there, as Ty pointed out, as we made that excellent defensive / and offensive run. Back to those sub patterns. Curry seemingly was not going to do any substitutions in the 2nd half at all after he inserted Afflalo. Sheed picked up a tech, so he finally made a substitution, bringing in JMAX for a while. Later, he brought in Bynum to spell Rip for a bit. AI did come out of the game very briefly.

Player by player:

Rip actually started hitting some shots in the 2nd half. Almost shocking to see. A lot has been said about his mourning period. Hope its over. The NBA is a business. Its tough losing a close friend to a trade. No, its not where Rip is shooting the ball. Rip has shown over the years to be able to hit from almost anywhere, off curls, off picks, set shots from the three line, whatever. Rip has just been missing shots. Again, hopefully thats over, he led us in scoring tonight.

Afflalo. Absolute excellence on defense. Over and over finding a way to get thru a pick and back to his guy. Or if you switch him, he manages to cover whoever. Good size and strength. On offense, the most impressive thing he did was get a couple of and ones, where his strength came in very handy for fighting thru the foul. He also hit a triple.

Tay. Other than looking quite dogged out there late in the 2nd half, he sure did clear the boards and otherwise have a pretty darn good game.

Sheed. Two consecutive triples by him gave us control of the game late. As usual, his defense was pretty darn good. Yes, they did score on pick and rolls, Sheed is not as fast as Amir.

Amir. Amir did get to play some. Not much. He scored a few buckets. He did not get to play in the 2nd half. Why do I like Amir starting? In this game, Golden State was killing us on fast break buckets to start the game. Amir would have been stopping those. Also, as I suspected, Curry would find it all too easy to leave Amir out of an entire half if Amir was not starting a game. Like the 2nd half of this one. I see someone mentioned their center, Biedrins, backing down Amir. Biedrins backs down plenty of people, which is why Sheed is suppose to be playing him, and was, for the most part. Amir is not the center. I liked the fact that Amir did not foul the guy.

JMAX. Short. Its not that he did not have a good play here and there in his short minutes. Its just that him being short, and unable to do things like clear a board, or defend the basket, kind of overrides the rest.

Kwame. He did have the one good post up where he finished with a simple, take his time, layup. He did contribute some ok D on Biedrins in the first half. But really, Sheed is much better at guarding Biedrins, and this leaves Kwame with nothing to do at all.

Herrmann. Nothing more to say about him for this game. But it is a story. When will Curry realize that Herrmann is not an NBA player? Give someone else a shot at the small forward spot. Yes, I know Afflalo can play there some, but sometimes he can't for lack of size. If Curry won't give Sharpe a shot at some minutes, then Dumars needs to go pick up a small forward. Another option, is to play our best front line on occasion, Sheed, JMAX, and Amir together, if Curry should ever happen to stumble upon this combination.

Always good to be writing up a win. Not much time to wait until the next game. Good nite everyone and GO PISTONS!!!!!

CHICAGO — About a week after announcing it would join First Lady Obama and other retailers in bringing more choices to so-called "food deserts", Walmart announced its official presence in Chicago today with the news that it has begun work on a new supercenter in Chatham. According to the company, the store will give more options to residents of Chicago's South Side neighborhood while at the same time creating approximately 400 jobs. The store, one of nine new locations now planned in the city, is scheduled to open in spring of 2012.
Construction of the Chatham Walmart is managed via a joint venture between Powers & Sons and UJAMAA Construction. According to Jimmy Akintonde, president UJAMAA Construction Inc., more than 350 construction jobs will be created as a result of this project and the selection process will remain inclusive and local.
"Thanks to the support of Alderman Brookins and others, the approval of this store helped pave the way for additional opportunities," said Julie Murphy, SVP Walmart U.S. "Walmart is committed to creating 10,000 new jobs throughout Chicago as well as providing access for all residents to our every day low prices, particularly those residing in underserved areas of the city."
In June 2010, Walmart announced the "Chicago Community Investment Partnership," a five-year plan to open several dozen stores, create approximately 10,000 jobs and 2,000 unionized construction jobs, generate more than $500 million in sales and property taxes and develop charitable partnerships worth $20 million.
Walmart's plans in the city include the following projects:
Supercenter in Pullman at 111th St. and South Doty Ave. (spring 2013)
Supercenter in West Chatham at 83rd St. and Stewart Ave. (spring 2012)
Walmart Market in the West Loop at West Monroe St. and South Jefferson St. (fall 2011)
Walmart Market in West Englewood at West 76th St. and South Ashland Ave. (spring 2012)
Walmart Market in Lake View at Broadway and Surf (winter 2012)
Walmart Express in West Englewood at South Western Ave. and West 71st St. (winter 2012)
Walmart Express in West Chatham at 83rd St. and Stewart Ave. (summer 2011)
Walmart Express in River North at Franklin and Chicago Avenues (fall 2011)
Walmart Express in Wrigleyville at Broadway and Addison (winter 2011)
Walmart's expansion in Chicago, along with the support of the Obamas, could prove to be the boost the company needs to gain entry into previously closed off urban markets.

-An authoritative study on the many different Mobile's of Gunbound -
Version 1.6 -UPDATE!
by Lee T. HaXXXor
currently playing under the Gunbound ID of: mrcanadian
for www.gamefaqs.com
contact: email@example.com for inquireries
************************************************** *********************
g. JD (aka Cakebot) Mobile Type: Shield
Shield level: 250 Health: 3/5
Firepower: 2/5 Movement: 4/5
Defense: 4/5 Climbing: 5/5
Approximate HP: 1050pts
Strength: Against Metallic type mobiles. This mobile type is strong
against shots from RaonLauncher, Aduka, Mage, A.Sate.
Weakness: Against Hit type weapons. Against Bionic type mobiles
Natural Enemies: BO****LAUNCHER, TURTLE, ICE
Natural Prey: RAONLAUNCHER, ADUKA, ArmorMobile, Bigfoot
Visual Description: A brown and red stout cylindrical platform with a
laser-type cannon. It gets its name from an animation it does where the
laser pops in, and out comes smaller JD's rising from the top like a
segmented cake.
UPDATE: As of April 19th, JD's shield recovery has been decreased from
30 to 20.
Weapon 1: Weapon type: Electrical
AMD: 180 Angle range: 30 degrees
Delay: 740 Weight: Light
Description: Your basic attack, you fire an electrical ball that does
damage on impact. It should be noted that there is a much wider area of
damage then most basic attacks of the same configuration. It has the
better AMD to Delay ratio, but that's not what you go for when you play
Weapon 2: Weapon type: Electrical
AMD: 200+ Angle range: 30 degrees
Delay: 830 Weight: Light
Description: You fire a pulsating electrical ball which sucks in metal
tanks and to a lesser degree, bionics. You do not have to do a direct
hit for this effect to occur, but you DO need a direct hit to register
any damage. The key selling point of weapon 2 is how it bunges
perfectly: even if you hit the opponent over the head and wouldn't
ordinarily damage the ground under it, Cakebot will suck up the ground
from underneath to bunge. In my book, Cakebot is the Number 1 bunging
tank so as to suck in and trap opponents in a deep, narrow hole from
which no option is possible.
SS Weapon: Weapon type: Electrical
AMD: 330 Angle range: 30 degrees
Delay: 1290 Weight: Light
Description: You fire a triangular bullet that expands into a wide
blasting radius on contact. The blast does the opposite of weapon 2,
pushing metal bots out instead of in (does not affect organics). You do
not need a direct hit for this effect to occur, but you do need a
direct hit to register any damage. More a method to screw up the
opponent more then anything else, I don't particularly care for this
Final Analysis: A strange Support tank for the bunge-happy, you do need
some good lobbing skills if you wish to maximize the potency of the
Cakebot. I call this a Support tank because you don't play Cakebot to
do damage; you do it to immobolise and take out enemy tanks inside of
deep pits. You can imagine what a Cakebot-Grub tag team can look like,
do you? This digger bot is served best with Duals and Bunges, items
that maximize the already great bunging ability of the JD. Thumbs in
the middle: you kill metal bots with grim efficiency, but bionics will
have their way with you in return (did I mention that Bionic bots are
strong Vs electrical attacks?). An intermediate bot for the
intellectual who doesn't want to kill as much as control.
************************************************** *********************
c. Bigfoot Mobile Type: Metallic
Health: 3/5
Firepower: 3/5 Movement: 4/5
Defense: 3/5 Climbing: 1/5
Approximate HP: 1000pts
Strength: This mobile type is strong against shots from Turtles,
Bo****Launcher, Nakmachine and Ice.
Weakness: Against electrical type weapons
Natural Enemies: Lightning, Cakebot, Grub
Natural Prey: None
Visual Description: A blue Mobile with a big stout cannon and four huge
wheels; just like its monster truck namesake.
Weapon 1: Weapon type: Explosion
AMD: 200 Angle range: 22 degrees
Delay: 770 Weight: Average
Description: You fire four small missiles that arc towards the opposing
tank. They spread out as they fly and their damage concentration is the
pits, so try to get a close shot as you really need all four missiles
to achieve max damage. Amazingly, this is the weapon that possesses the
best AMD to Delay ratio.
Weapon 2: Weapon type: Explosion
AMD: 220 Angle range: 22 degrees
Delay: 920 Weight: Lighter then average
Description: You fire six mini bombs that spread out further as they
fly. Its bunging effect leaves to be desired; more often then not, the
mini bombs will hit the enemy tank directly from above, sparing the
ground on which the tank is standing on. The mini bombs spread out even
more then the missiles of weapon 1 at medium/long range. UPDATE: as of
April 19th, the path of damage and the damage pit area has been
increased by 5%. In effect, the mini bombs spread FAR too far apart to
be used as an effective bunge weapon, but make something of a wide
ranged screen when you absolutely NEED to hit your opponent with
anything, no matter how little the effect. But I'm not kidding about
the bunge loss: now even Weapon 1 bunges better...
SS Weapon: Weapon type: Explosion
AMD: 450 Angle range: 12 degrees
Delay: 1320 Weight: Lighter then average
Description: You fire twelve bright red bombs in the same manner as
with weapon 1. Spreading over distance is similarly comparable to that
of weapon 1. This is a MUCH better bunging tool, but why waste the
incredible destructive energies of this cannon only for the digging of
a hole?
Final Analysis: A great Close Combat tank for beginners/first timers,
just get next to your enemy and shove it all in his face. You'll rarely
get any blast back effect like you would with the Turtle tank. If you
can't line up your opponent directly into your optimal shooting angle
(it happens, the BigFoot is known for having limited firing angles),
then you should lob some mini-bombs with weapon 2. So to recap: frontal
assault with weapon 1, lob with weapon 2 if you can't. For maximum fun
and GREAT bunging abilities, take the Thunderbolt item and rain down
six lightning pillars using weapon 2. It's a tank of limited uses that
gets its comeuppance much too soon, but it's fun and easy to use, so it
gets a thumbs up.
Estimated Life/Shield: 725/300
Rated defence: Good
Rated Mobility/Climbing: Good/Good
Shot 1 - Projectiles: Tracer â 1 bolt 90 degrees (from right above the tracer)
- Average damage: 140(+76 bonus lightning damage)
- base delay: 750
- Hits on impact on land.
- Angle range: 40 - 18 (22)
Shot 2 - Projectiles: Tracer â 2 bolts at 45 degrees. (One left and one right.)
- Average damage: 300 (YES 300!!!)
- Base delay: 800
- So uhh⦠300 damage? HOW?!
The left bolt hits slightly earlier than the right bolt which makes the right one miss usually. But of course, you can avoid the left bolt bunging the mobile away from the right one which wouldnât hit. Itâs really hard to explain.
- Angle range: 40 - 18 (22)
Ingame example of a high damage scenario.
SS - 1 projectile. This one hits on impact
- Base delay:
- Everything in itâs range gets +/- 165 damage. It does only 46 damage to team players. And some little extra damage on players who are outside itâs range, but close to other mobiles that are hit.
- Angle range: 40 - 18 (22)
Comments. My second favourite mobile. It has a great damage/delay ratio and some nice defence. Unfortunately its angle range is pretty bad. But its movement compensates for this. Also it has quite a lot shield which is not good with mages close to it.
What I personally like about this mobile is itâs delay/damage ratio, the ability to put the opponent in a nasty hole to kill his angle, and the fact that people think they can delaybeat every mobile by starting with shot 1. WRONG! Try creating situation to do 300+ damage when youâre sure you will delaybeat. Do this by hitting a shot 1 a little left of the center under him so he falls on the right slope of the hole. So you can use shot 2 on the top of that slope to do 300+ damage.
Shooting to the right usually has an advantage because it creates nasty holes. (Remember how the left bolt hits first and then the right, which creates nasty shaped holes.)
Donât try your luck with duals, too much bunging involved to hit the second shot. Dual+ starting with shot 1 works a little better, especially. Not great though. I usually use dual(+)s when THORâs around. Choose for defensive powerups like wind turns or something.
Lightning is THE statwhore killer.

|Still a work in progress. Added my table saw to one end.
|I have something similiar, got some used 3/8 thick steel plate at steel supply place for a deck. FYI ...I also welded 3 angle brackets on the 3 working sides for electrical outlets ...makes it easy when using power tools at your work bench!!!
new metal workbench
Here's my new workbench. The beautiful Vana White is showing the fine craftsmanship of this 30 x 72 all steel workbench. Actually that's my wife Donna playing the spokes model part, and doing a wonderful job, I must say.
Made of recycled soccer goal posts, my only expenses were the casters and a sheet of 1 1/8" plywood. All told it cost me 70 bucks and 18 hours labor. The steel came with a combination of rust and white paint and that took many hours to remove.
The new workbench takes the place of one I built when I was 19. That one started out as a stained glass workbench with an integrated light box (for seeing the pattern through dark colored glass). It had been moved many times and over 700 miles to it's current location. I modified it in 1991 to work as a mitre saw extension and general catch all in my garage. It was kinda sad to see the old bench go after 35 years of projects.
The idea behind the casters is so the new bench can be moved to accommodate the work. Roll it out onto the driveway, and I can use it as a extension for my table saw and save time sweeping the garage. Always a plus.

Just an FYI, our vet routinely prescribes Rimadyl post-surgery, and we've not had any issues.
Studies have shown it enhances the healing process to take it, and we usually give it for 3 days post surgery.

My vets are still relatively reasonable for the area (knock wood). There are places like KZoppa was saying - Operation Pets in Buffalo, Lollypop Farm in the Rochester area that offer some help for people though, so that's good, but I think they have some guidelines.
Thanks for the food for thought everyone! I plan to get itemized lists from each vet to see what is included. My vet says that his cost includes everything from the cone to wear home to overnight stay, fluids, pain meds and pre-anesthesia bloodwork, surgery, etc. They said that there are some things I can remove to lower the cost. I do need to ask if someone will be there overnight-what is the sense of having her there overnight if she goes into distress and no one is there to help her. The only thing I can see this benefiting is if they are running fluids on her all night to ensure hydration and perhaps administer pain meds. My dads vet has minimal included in their cost but you can add things on...this is why I need to get the itemized lists ahead of time...I can't expect myself to be able to process what I want her to have while managing her at the desk and being so emotional about dropping her off. I like to prepare ahead of time!!!!
And Jean thank you for the info on NSAIDs-I forgot how they can cause the blood to thin and increase bleeding.
And of course both vets are going by weight and she is 76# which I just weighed and she's grown so the cost might go up!!! I'm not as concerned about cost as I am curiouis about whether a higher charge is typical after heat...she's a great dog and I want to ensure I'm giving her the best care which is why I still have a LOT of homework to do!!
I am going to post a new pic of her taken just the other day after our first big snow! She didn't remember the light dusting we had in April last year when she was only 8 wks old so it was all new to her!!! Once she realized how much she loves playing in it it's been hard to keep her inside!! I have to keep her on a lead inside the fence now because the snow is so high along it she can easily leap right over and off she'll go.

|I had Shasta spayed when she was about 20 months. I called around to a couple different vets I'd worked with when my mentor trainer and I were doing obedience classes. They wanted $500 and I was only given the option to remove a couple things for their list so it really only would have saved me $40. I went to one of the low cost spay/nueter clinics and paid $250 total and that included two days of pain meds plus urine sample collection, test for UTI and antibiotics. Shasta got to come home with me that night and she didn't have any problems but that spueter clinic I used has a good reputation too and the techs treated her very well. I'd say search around if you're able.
|$400 is standard around here for a spay. Neuters are about $350.
|$500 for a spay seems very, very high to me...I would ask your other vet to break down everything it includes and see if there's anything missing that the other vet included.
Does that include everything:
Pre-anesthetic blood work
Pain management
I also do a buccal mucosal bleeding time test with first surgery dogs and ask that any MDR1 drugs are avoided. In addition, big pain in the butt here requests no NSAIDs for pain management.
Is there someone there while the dog is being held overnight? I know my vet office doesn't have someone there the whole night (but usually with emergencies there is coverage for a good part) and generally ask for overnights for most spays, but they will allow owners to take the pet home if they believe the owner will follow instructions.
My vet charges for some things by weight, so the heavier the dog, the more anesthesia, etc, they use.
I honestly do not know about the processes and costs. My vets have spayed for rescue for younger and older dogs and the costs have varied greatly by weight. Neuters on young males are definitely easier surgeries in terms of their recovery, but a young female and a spay is usually feeling well too soon - they want to do way more than they should for their stitches! Sorry for the roundabout non-answer.
Well we've experience this...our vet calls it "enlarged uterus".
Before the heat, their uterus is small and easier(?) to remove. When they are older, it's surrounded by fat which can be dangerous apparently, and has enlarged quite a bit.
Most of our vets charge 1 fee regardless of age, etc.
However, the one vet will charge, like, $60 or so, but it goes up to just over $100 for a post-heat spay, any time post 1st heat that is. So in reality he's no cheaper since most of the girls we get in rescue have gone through at least one heat, and that vet in particular hasn't done puppy- alters for us.
It kind of sucks.
Cost for spaying after heat-why do some vets charge more?
Hi All,
Well, Brandy went into heat on Halloween, just one week past her 8 month birthday. She was in it a solid 3 weeks. I wanted to wait for one heat cycle to pass before spaying her for the health benefits I believe it provides large breed dogs. I now have her scheduled for spaying at the end of January. My question is this: Our vet wants to charge us nearly twice as much as my father's vet (my dad looked into it after hearing the cost my vet was charging which is nearly $500). My father respects his vet very much. I believe my vet helped to get Brandy's UTI's under control holistically by a simple food change recommendation so I'd hate to believe he ups prices unnecessarily. My vet claims the additional costs are due to the fact that she went through heat and it requires a different process in the surgery(?)...I have heard that this is a false reason to jack up prices...what is your impression?
Also, our vet will keep her overnight one night while my father's vet sends them home that evening as they feel they do better at home with less stress then being in the kennel at the vet. What is the standard protocal there? I've only ever had boy dogs prior to this and my rescue whom I brought to the vet to be nutured came out that afternoon bouncing like nothing happened!! Our current boy rescue was fixed prior to our adopting him...just not sure with my girl as to what to expect.
Any shared experience/knowledge is greatly aprpeciated!
Thanks so much!

CHAPEL HILL - University of North Carolina sophomore guard P.J. Hairston will return to the Tar Heel lineup next season. Hairston led Carolina in scoring and three-point field goals this past season, in which UNC went 25-11 and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Greensboro native made the decision to return to school after discussing the matter with his immediate family, including his mother, Wendy Mailey, and UNC head coach Roy Williams.
"I have spent a lot of time with my family over the past couple of days discussing school and my future and I have decided to return to the University of North Carolina for my junior year," said Hairston. "I value the experiences I have had over the past two years in Chapel Hill, and hope to continue to grow under Coach Roy's guidance. Coach always says 'When you focus on the team during the season, I will support you in the off-season.' This is my way of supporting coach, my teammates and the Tar Heel community. Go Heels!"
Hairston averaged a team-high 14.6 points per game and made 89 three-point field goals, the second-highest single-season total in Carolina history. He scored in double figures 27 times, including each of the last 18 games. Over the final 13 games, he averaged 18.2 points. Hairston led the Tar Heels with eight 20-point games with a career-high 29 vs. Virginia and 28 against Miami in the ACC Tournament final. Hairston also was Carolina's third-leading rebounder at 4.3 per game.
"Throughout this process, it has been amazing to watch P.J. utilize the values we have taught him," says Mailey. "I am proud that he took the initiative to weigh the impact of short-term gratification versus long-term success to come to his decision to stay in school. I've watched him continually mature and learn from each lesson he has been faced with over the past two years. And now, his commitment to furthering his education, and to his coach and teammates, further exemplifies his growth."
Hairston graduated from Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., after attending Dudley High School in Greensboro, N.C. for three years. He has scored 707 points (10.0 per game) in 71 games over his first two seasons as a Tar Heel.

Ancient Einkorn
Nature's Original Wheat
Jovial Foods is proud to offer you einkorn, the world's most ancient wheat,
and the only wheat that's never been hybridized. Einkorn is a delicious, healthy alternative to modern, mass market wheat and can be an excellent solution for those with gluten sensitivity.
Einkorn has more protein than any other grain
Einkorn is packed with more nutrients, vitamins, and dietary minerals than regular wheat. Einkorn has 30% more protein and 15% less starch than commercial wheat, plus abundant B Vitamins and trace minerals like iron.
New & Super Nutritious, sprouted einkorn flour is now available!
100% organic whole grain
A Good Gluten?
Einkorn grows tall and proud, just the way nature intended. The gluten in einkorn lacks the high molecular weight proteins that many people can't digest. If you are sensitive to modern wheat, einkorn may provide a delicious alternative. Einkorn does contain gluten and is not ok for those with celiac disease.
Einkorn just tastes great.
Einkorn isn't just rich in history and nutrients – it's also packed with flavor. This isn't one of those superfoods you have to force yourself to enjoy. Intensive farming stripped most wheat of its taste along with its nutritional value. Go back to nature's original wheat for a pleasing flavor that will nourish.
Just a few years ago, einkorn was close to extinction
Einkorn was abandoned 5,000 years ago, because it is difficult to harvest and mill, and has one fifth the yields of modern wheat.
The Evolution of Wheat
So where did we get it?
We worked in Italy with a group of researchers who were replenishing original seeds. We started planting just 50 acres in 2009 and now we are the largest growers of einkorn in the world.
Never hybridized, einkorn is pure and nutritious, and a wonderful way to improve your health and wellness.
Einkorn was one of the first foods planted, at the birth of agriculture 10,000 years ago. It grew wild for millions of years before that.
