Some soaking in alcohol of hedgerow plunderings, retro recipes, a little daring baking, musings and ramblings on health, homeopathy and maybe a little smackerel of something chocolatey that inevitably drops, gluten free, crumbly and delicious in between the sticky keys of my well loved keyboard.
It's not about what you're missing, not one bit! This gluten free life is pretty darned fabulous and I'd love to share it with you.
Come and join my story book recipe challenge and make it 100% gluten free - I dare you!

- Brandy said...
A year ago, I wouldn't have understood why a blog like yours is so important. Now, I know it only too well. Two of my three (almost four) children are now on gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free, artificial-everything-free diets due to stomach issues and possible autism spectrum in the oldest. The diet has worked miracles! So my blog is older than my gluten-free experience, meaning that old recipes are BAD. :) But I have been posting recipes in the last three or four months that are beyond safe for sensitive kids. Perhaps they will help other moms like me. I don't primarily blog about cooking, but I still doing something GFCF once a week.
I blog at Afterthoughts:
Thanks for the cute button!

Unfortunately, GnomeDo development halted around a year ago, making this neat application quickly look and feel a bit obsolete. Luckily for all us, though, there's Synapse, which I learnt about from a recent OMGUBUNTU article (Thanks!!).
According to its creator, Synapse is essentially a search tool, which goes through many sources of information to present contents right at the user's fingertips. I know, it does sound vague, but a few examples really help in understanding how Synapse works.
First off, let's see how Synapse can be started, or "activated" (the term used by the application):
1.- Access Main Menu > Applications > Accessories > Synapse.
2.- Click on the icon that will appear on your notification area and then click on "Activate" from the dropdown menu that will show up.
3.- The easiest and most practical method to activate Synapse, though, is by using the suggested key combination
Activation is instantaneous and all you have to (and can) do is start typing whatever it is you are looking for. For example, entering the first few letters from the word "Brasero" makes Synapse, as expected, find the popular Gnome CD burning application.
Click on image to enlarge
One of the things that first stands out is how quickly Synapse reacts to any search. It will find any match for applications, Actions, Images, Documents, Audio, Video, etc., even if the term entered does not match a complete word, but separate letters. For example, typing "chro" will indeed return Chromium Browser, but so will "cmu".
Click on image to enlarge
In my experience, it takes just a few seconds to get comfortable with Synapse, and after that, it is a complete blast. Ever felt like browsing menus trying to find an application was slow and tedious, specially when you don't remember which category that application falls into? Well, this is it, ladies and gentlemen, a lightning fast solution that will even save you reaching out for the mouse!
Click on image to enlarge
As can be seen from these screenshots, the Faenza icon theme contributes to making Synapse look amazing!
One other neat Synapse feature is that it will try to use the Gnome dictionary to find the definition of a word that does not match any of the contents available in the machine. Using this feature made me realize I had not set up the GNOME dictionary on my machine.
Click on image to enlarge
I did some research and found out how to configure Gnome dictionary to run locally on my machine, as opposed to reaching out to Internet sites. The local setup is great because it avoids any connection dependencies. It also makes the dictionary search much faster, and we love fast, don't we?
If you too want to set up your Gnome Dictionary locally, follow these simple steps:
1.- Install the necessary packages from Synaptic (search for and install
dictd, dict-gcide, dict-wn, dict-moby-thesaurus packages). Alternatively, if you want to do it from the command line, run the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install dictd dict-gcide dict-wn dict-moby-thesaurus
2.- Configure Gnome Dictionary to run locally by opening the application from Main Menu > Applications > Office > Dictionary, then open the Edit Menu > Preferences.
3.- Create a new source as shown below (you may choose a different Description name) and set it up as the default source.
Click on image to enlarge
Voila! Gnome dictionary should now be fully functional and search on your machine only.
CustUbuntu UPDATE
I found this dictionary offline configuration deal interesting, so I modified my
CustUbuntu.sh installation/uninstallation script (full article with instructions HERE) to include these few packages on the installation section.
Click on image to enlarge
If you want to download the latest CustUbuntu version, just follow this LINK.
Installing Synapse in Ubuntu is real simple. First off, add Synapse's own PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:synapse-core/ppa
Now update sources and install synapse:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synapse
Yes, Synapse does rock indeed. It does loads more than what I showed here and it is one of those "straight-to-the-point" applications that does what it's got to do and does it quick. If you are comfortable typing, I am sure you will instantly fall in love with it. If you are not that much of a keyboard fan, I would still recommend it. Before you know it, you will notice how it adds to your overall productivity!
Thanks for reading!

Espresso is always the same amount, yes. But you forget drip coffee. ;)
But there is a multitude of Starbucks mannerisms that drive more traditional Barista crazy, it's certainly not limited to this.

text: So I'm taking a trip to Portland next month. Yay! It's somewhere I've always to visit, and the planets have aligned for me to do it now. I'll be staying in the Nob Hill area at the hostel there. I will have my car but hoping to just park it for the 4 days I'm there and rely on walking and transit. So ... any suggestions for stuff to see & do? Heres whats on my list so far: Powells Books the Japanese gardens a Segway tour (there was a Groupon for this the other day, great timing!) as many brewpubs and happy hours as I can possibly fit into my schedule (specific recommendations welcome) as many food carts as I can possibly fit into my schedule (specific recommendations welcome but bear in mind that Im vegetarian) Powells Books the arial tram shopping in the Nob Hill area and the Hawthorne district a show or three at one or more of the McMenamins venues just walking around and looking at the arcitecture & public art did I mention Powell's Books? Also, after Portland Ill be driving to Long Beach, Washington, and am looking for stuff to do along the way. The most obvious route seems to be to go highway 6 to Tillamook and then north along the coast from there. But if I leave early enough, I had thought I might drive south first as far as Florence, since thats the northernmost bit of the Dunes area. Can you get a good sense of the dunes from there or do you have to go further south? And what about the Sea Lion Caves just north of Florence amazing or tacky-touristy? What other must-see destinations along the coast? (I have been to Astoria before.) TIA

Personal and Academic Support
One way that Wittenberg University makes a difference in the lives of students is by providing support during times of challenge in their personal and academic lives on campus. College is a time of transition, and we understand that there will sometimes be difficult lessons to learn. Whether the concern is relatively mild or something more serious, Wittenberg has dedicated professionals who are ready to help.
Residence Life Student Staff
The Department of Residence Life carefully selects and trains 44 Resident Advisers (RAs) and Community Advisers (CAs) every year. RAs are assigned to every floor or section of our residence halls and serve as resource people to students. CAs act as liaisons between professional Res Life staff and the RAs. They assist with hall programming, staff selection and training, and general administrative duties. RAs assist in building community and with the administrative operation of the residence halls, as well as with educating students about university and residence hall policies. Our Resident Advisers provide programming based on an assessment of the community and individual needs. The responsibilities of the RA and CA positions are implemented under the supervision of and with the assistance and support of an Area Coordinator (see below).
All student staff are available to support their residents as needed. In support of the Wittenberg community, our goal as a Residence Life staff is to strive to create and maintain secure, comfortable, cohesive, residential communities conducive to academic success and personal growth.
Contact: Residents and their RAs stay in touch via phone, text, and e-mail, and students are also encouraged to stop by their RA's room with questions. Hall offices are staffed each night from 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. In addition, our student staff conduct rounds of the building each hour throughout the evening. Hall offices are also open during the day at specified hours. The RA on duty can be reached by calling Wittenberg Police & Security (937-327-6231).
Residence Life Professionals/Residence Life Duty Rotation
Primary responsibility for the management of Wittenberg's residence halls lies with our three Area Coordinators (ACs). Area Coordinators are on-campus, live-in professionals who are dedicated to student growth and development outside of the classroom. As members of the Student Development staff, they recognize that living on campus is an integral part of the learning experience at Wittenberg. The Area Coordinator is a role model, a facilitator, a leader, and an essential person in the effective operation of the residence life program. Wittenberg's Area Coordinators hold their Master's Degrees in Higher Education Administration or related fields and bring significant learning and experience to their positions. Some key expectations and responsibilities of the AC position include outreach to students, supervising the RA staff, developing programs to support residential students, enforcing campus regulations in a developmentally appropriate context, and counseling and crisis intervention.
Contact in Emergencies: The three Area Coordinators serve on the AC Duty Rotation. One of the ACs is on-call 24 hours a day throughout the academic year and serves as the first point of contact for RAs on-duty and for the Department of Police & Security when there is an emergency involving a student who lives in a residence hall. The AC on-duty can be reached through the campus switchboard at Police & Security (937-327-6363). More info.
Dean On-Call
In addition to the AC on-duty, there is also a Dean on-duty 24 hours a day throughout the year. Five Deans and Directors within the Student Development Division serve in the Deans Duty Rotation. Their role is to respond to emergencies involving students who live in student rental properties or who commute to campus. The Deans also support the Residence Life On-Call professional in addressing critical situations pertaining to student health and well-being. The Dean on-duty is contacted through the campus switchboard at Police & Security (937-327-6363).
Student Health & Counseling Center
The mission of the Health & Counseling Center is to diagnose and treat illness, promote healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices through ongoing education and to prepare students to be their own health advocates. The Health Center recognizes the interconnection of physical and psychological health, hence services are provided in both areas, and referral and consultation between the medical service and counseling service is emphasized. Services include triage, education in self-care, basic treatment for uncomplicated and short-term problems and referral to specialists for complex conditions. In addition, through consultation with the faculty and staff, the Health Center assists the university in maintaining an environment that supports health. The center is staffed by a board-certified physician, a licensed counselor and a team of nurses. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday thru Friday. Counseling appointments are also available on selected evenings.
The ACs and Deans on-duty respond to student physical and mental health emergencies in consultation with the Director of Student Counseling. When necessary, students are transported to the Springfield Regional Medical Center emergency room, located at 100 Medical Center Drive, where they have access to a full range of medical and psychological treatment services. Mental Health Services of Clark County. located at 474 N. Yellow Springs Street, also serves students who are in crisis. More info.
Wittenberg Police & Security
The Wittenberg Police and Security Department is a full service police and security agency that takes a proactive approach in progressive campus policing. The Department, located in the Recitation Annex, works diligently to develop partnerships with the Wittenberg campus, local police agencies and the broader Clark County community. By working together we can keep the Wittenberg community a wonderful and safe place to live, attend classes, work and visit. Officers are on patrol in the University District, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Services provided by the department include parking enforcement, emergency medical response, building access, vehicle registration, vehicle assists, and the student-run escort service. Wittenberg Police & Security may be reached by calling their emergency (937-327-6363) and non-emergency (937-327-6231) numbers. Officers and Dispatchers work closely with on-call staff to support students in any type of situation. More info.
Academic Support Services
Academic Services provides a variety of services to promote academic achievement and enrich student learning. In partnership with faculty, students, and staff, the office supports many of the critical student transitions, which are associated with each of the four undergraduate years. This includes summer orientation programs, major declaration assistance, work with faculty to facilitate student success in the classroom, services for students with disabilities, assistance to students on academic warning or probation, programs that recognize academic achievement, and support to students seeking specialized post-graduation scholarships and fellowships. Academic Services facilitates the procedures of the Board of Academic Standards (BAS) and oversees the operations of the Writing Center, Math Workshop, Foreign Language Learning Center, and the Oral Communications Center. More info.
Student Care Team
The Student Care Team is comprised of individuals from throughout the campus community, for the purpose of identifying and providing a coordinated program of support to students identified as at risk, emotionally and academically. The team meets weekly to review emerging information and determine appropriate responses. Concerns about Wittenberg students may be reported using the Early Alerts feature on MyWitt or via direct communication with Student Care Team members.
Team members include faculty, coaches, the campus counselor, campus pastors, and student development staff. A sub-set of this larger group may meet to strategize and intervene with specific students whose behaviors rise to a level of concern of possible threat to harm others.

Hey guys, I have a tough problem I need to noodle, and I'm hoping to "be befuddled among friends".
Just for some background on me, I'm a member over at ASAP. I'm an amateur, but I have some experience with lifecasting and latex appliances.
I'm in the process of building a Viper pilot helmet from the BSG series. I'm working on the sculpt right now, and I estimate that I have about a weeks worth of work remaining. My next step will be to create molds. I'm planning on doing a test run with Plaster of Paris, and if the sculpt survives, a second one in Ultracal. Superfine detail is not terribly important on this.
This is where I need advice. What I'd like to do is a slush cast in a transparent 2 part resin. This is my ideal technique, because it would allow for a 1 piece helmet if I didn't have to worry about making the faceplate seperately. It would also make wiring the lights much easier. Does anyone have experience doing a slushcast with polyester resins like this: http://www.rplastics.com/castingresin.html ?
If this worked, I could get a nice clear helmet and possibly re-enforce the parts that don't need to be transparent with just about anything.
Also: I live in an apartment with cats. Fiberglass isn't really an option.
Thanks in advance for the advice!

I have not tried it on hives, but my experience with fibre glass is that it won't last long outside. Becomes brittle with age. I think that UV get at it.Best of luck, though.
I believe Derkem in the UK uses fiberglass over his polyurethane hives. Resin and glass fiber than is. He might have some insight. Isn't fiberglass resin pretty expensive relative to paint?
if I understand your question, you are not asking about actual fiberglassing the outside of your hives with fiberglass cloth or some other composite structure, just painting them with the resin. Right? If so, I think it's a good idea.epoxy is much easier to work with, doesn't stink and I think it would seal up the outside of your hives beautifully, they will last a long time in my opinion. Painting the exposed end grain on your boxes with epoxy resin will seal it up and protect it very well and probably extend its life.
If you don't paint it it will crack in a year.
Epoxy on wood is widely used to build boats. If left unpainted it is recommended to use a coat of varnish every year or three for UV protection...but the epoxy will seal the wood VERY well.
I'm not sure what type of resin we have here, it has the consistency and look of polyurethane, but a bit darker in colour. it does have a smell but i'm not sure if i would say it's overwhelming but you have to use it outside or well ventilated indoors. the hardener is a clear liquid like water.
I would not use it as it does not allow moisture permeation out of the hive. It is a perfect vapor barrier.

|Harry and Lola
I wouldn't want to do surgery before 3 years old, however I understand the growth plate for UAP usually closes around 5 months, so surgery could be done after this age, for me personally I would want to wait until 3yo unless symptoms were severe. I know with Harry when he was under one, around 6 or 7 months if I remember correctly, he started limping on this left front leg, we did an xray and vet found minimal cartilage and lack of fusion between the anconeal and ulna on this leg, however she did not label him with dysplasia at that time and with carprofen, rest, weight management and no impact exercise for about 3 to 4 months he stopped limping. This was over 2 years ago now and I keep a close eye on him, he is not indicating any issues with his left front leg and his gait is perfect. However if I see any problems in the future, we will do another xray.
I do give him glucosamine & chondroitin, so perhaps this has helped as glucosamine provides the building blocks to synthesize new cartilage and chondroitin blocks destructive enzymes that break down cartilage in the joint. Both Harry and Lola have been on this quite a long time, Lola has HD.
Definitely rest her during the next couple of weeks and if your vet feels it essential to do another xray so quickly then do so, but I wonder if you should allow her longer time with medication and rest and then do another xray? I suppose at the end of the day, we must be guided by our vet (if you trust) and do your own research to help make the right decision

|I understand your point Selzer. Maybe this is why my vet is going to X-ray again in a month's time and why he seemed in no rush whatsoever to do any surgery. I did ask though that as it hasn't fused so far is it likely to and he said not now. She is over 22 weeks and so if it hasn't already fused then it isn't going to. I'm sure you wouldn't have to look to hard to find differing advice which is one of the things that has driven me the most crazy since getting my pets. I hate all the differences in opinions that the vets give. I guess all we can do in the end is find a vet we like and go with what they say if it seems right to us. But I will just re state that we are x-raying again (although it's a bit of a pain for Penny as it means another anaesthetic).

For those familiar with elbow dysplasia, I have a question about it with regards to this puppy. The pup is 5 months old. UAP is when the bones do not fuse by 5 months. This is across the board -- all breeds. Shepherds grow at different rates, and are certainly different than small dogs that are completely mature by 12 months with respect to size.
Is it possible that large breed dogs sometimes do not fuse until 6 or 7 months?
The reason I ask this, is because I have a bitch I got back from someone who seriously injured her. They told me what happened. She came back all swelled up and painful, just under six months old, and they had the x-ray done a few weeks previous, so around 5 months. It had UAP. I showed it to my vet, and we made the decision to wait and let the injury heal.
This dog is 4 years old in March and a total spazz, jumping running, etc. She does not limp. She shows no pain whatsoever in this elbow. I will probably have another x-ray done to see what we have. But it just makes me wonder.

Thanks for listening,
We got dogs next. Our female dog has a bad back. It tends to go out once a year and she can barely walk. We have to roll her around in a wagon to potty. When it first happened we were concerned we would need to put her to sleep, but she gets better with crate rest. Our oldest male dog blew his right ACL (we got it fixed) and has a partially torn left ACL. We are waiting to fix that one, because he got very depressed on his crate rest when he was healing from the first one. It took a long time for him to be his normal self again. Riley was most likely sick from day one. There is a thread here somewhere about his last days. I'm still not over losing him. I may not ever be. We did everything we could to save him except make him suffer needlessly. So far everything is good with Kaleb. He does have one retained testicle and pano, but I knew about the testicle when we got him and pano is pretty common in male large breed dogs.
So, it's not just you. I'm just glad I can help animals that other may give up on.
Well yesterday turned out to be an interesting day. We saw Penny's X-rays and whilst her back legs are fine (yay!) there are a couple of problems with her front legs. Elbow dysplasia and Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy. The HOD (inflammation in the growth plates in her wrists for those who don't know what it is....I didn't) is in both wrists and also explains why she has been sleeping more and off her food lately. Apparently it should clear on it's own (though could take weeks). We are going to try anti inflammatories to help but only every second day as they upset her tummy.
As for the elbow dysplasia she has the UAP kind (Ununited Anconeal Process....the growth plate that should have fused by now hasn't). This is in the left elbow and may require surgery to pin it back together. For now he wants to see if the HOD clears up and if the lameness then goes away. He wants to re xray in a month. He doesn't seem too fussed about surgery unless Penny actually shows any symptoms that can be associated to the UAP and not the HOD. Not sure what I think about this but I guess we'll be seeing him again in a month and Penny is still young. Does anyone think I should let the breeder know about the elbow dysplasia? Also, since I'm still a newbie on this board could you tell me if I'll have the best shot at getting advice from this post or should I start a new thread say under "Health Issues"?
Also (just because I need to vent) whilst Penny was under anaesthetic at one vets, I was at another vets facing another drama. You see I recently took Amy to this vet to be bathed etc. Whilst there I fell for a beautiful little kitten up for adoption. I was hooked. The next day we paid $173 for what I believed was a vet checked kitten who had been wormed etc and microchipped, as well as that cost covering her next vaccination and sterilization. So even though we had decided we weren't as keen on this vets anymore and had moved Penny to another, I need to stay with them for Amy (the kitten) till the vacc and sterilization have been done since they are already paid for. So I take her in for the vacc but first the vet listens to her heart, and listens and listens, then scoops her up looking guilty and rushes off to see her boss. It seems Amy has a heart murmur! The vet wants her boss to come see me but it seems she is "too busy" but she sends the message back that it wasn't there when she first checked Amy therefore they aren't financially liable. Like she can remember back that far!! The vet looked very apologetic and guilty. Amy is supposed to be sterilized soon but that may need to be delayed if she has a heart problem. So the boss was meant to ring me back yesterday with a plan (ie when do we re check tho she is 5 months old now so it's unlikely to go away, do we ultrasound and do we delay the spaying). I have heard nothing! So not happy.
So as a first time pet owner we have had rotten luck with both our pets. Apparently ED is more common in males and Penny is female and heart murmurs aren't common and less so in cats than dogs. Needless to say these may be our first and last pets.
Thanks for listening,
I would agree not to jump the gun and assume dysplasia without x-rays. Panostitis - or Pano is an inflammation of the growth plates and makes pups very very sore and painful....it is pretty much a toss up at this age, and pano is very common in young, growing dogs....Diet and exercise control are tools to help with pano, if it proves to be this problem. Do some research and go into the vet ready to have him show you what he sees and what is going on.....
Good luck - hoping it IS pano as that is not as serious long term.
|It could be pano. It's more prevalent in males, but females can get it. Kaleb has pano right now. He limps quite a bit on his front leg. Pano will show in x-rays. I was told it looks fuzzy.
Thanks everyone for your kind posts. Penny will be having x rays done on Friday when she also gets spayed so we will know more then. I really would be surprised if everything was fine though. It looks like more than just puppy clumsiness to me. She is definitely worse after a rest until she gets moving.
Hi Harry and Lola's Mum. Great to be able to hear from another Aussie. Do you know if there are any others on here? To answer your post: the discomfort has been coming on over the last week or two and has not improved with anti-inflammatories. Apparently we don't have paralysis ticks here in WA so it's not that. She's not overweight and in fact, has gone off her food a bit. She now only eats around half of her kibble although she still loves her treats and chews. Could she have become bored with her food? What do you feed your dogs in regards to meals and chews? As for the Vicks vapour rub that is currently what we put on the corners of our couch where Penny seems to like to chew As for returning her I would never do that as I know exactly what a breeder would do to her! That's what I meant when I said that it doesn't bear thinking about. I would love to hear from you again. Sorry to hear that your beautiful two aren't 100% we'll either.

Attributed to Paul Bril
Netherlandish, ca. 1554-1626
Self-Portrait, ca. 1595-1600
Oil on canvas
70.8 x 77.2 cm (27 7/8 x 30 3/8 inches)
Museum Appropriation Fund 39.046
This representation of an elegantly dressed lute-player is an intriguing variant on an artist's self-portrait. It identifies the subject as the painter, seated before his own easel and palette, and expands on his cultural achievements by emphasizing his musical abilities. Although unsigned, this portrait has been attributed to Paul Bril (1553/4-1626), a Flemish artist who forged a highly successful career in Rome. The scene tacked to the easel is typical of Bril's early compositions which were distinguished by small figures, deep, shaded foregrounds, and masses of silvery foliage, attributes that he shared with other Flemish painters. Bril's Netherlandish roots helped to launch his career as a landscape painter of scenes based not so much on naturalism as on a well-ordered view of the remote countryside, full of close observation of detail. The sitter's confident gaze, elegant apparel, and comfortable strum of the instrument all seek to convince the viewer of the excellence and success of his method.

One box beeding happens in 3 days and two box hive in one week. Capping takes a couple weeks more.Too long feeding starts brooding.
If I had not of placed some dry sugar on the tops of a couple of my hives, they would have starved last January.
Different strokes for different folks Finsk (as old as you are you must have heard that one, heh?). We don't all live in Finland where bees and beekeepers have it sooooo hard.
You must do something to deminish the consumption. Look, my hives manage with syrup from September to May. Your winter rest starts xx months and food is finish in Janury . Do something!- Get beestock which stop brooding in time- restrict the wintering space- protect from wind- use insulation if frost is bad like -20C- close mesh floor in winter- feed the hive full, so they cap the full- try to rear wintering colony that it fills the whole box.TREAT VARROA IN TIME! DON'T TRUST GOOD LUCK. Prepare hives for worst situations. It is late if the worst has happened.
Frameshift, I thought your long hives only have a bee space between your frames and the top cover? I know 1 to 2 pounds of sugar doesn't require a large volume, but do you add a shim under your cover or just fill the bee space with sugar?
:No shim. Just put newpaper on top of the frames and sprinkle on the sugar with a squirt or two of water to moisten it and make it clump. So I am just filling up the beespace.
- a place which has no real winter
- then open feeding
- and then this bee news reading
- don't take honey from hives to sell
Open feeding takes less equipment than other methods. It takes less work on the part of the beekeeper than other methods. It distributes the sugar according to the size of the hive's foraging strength and at a rate which can be processed by the storage bees. It simulates a flow which is good in the spring. Maybe not so good in a dearth.
Open feeding means that bees flye like mad here and there. For what?
Quote from: Finski on October 17, 2011, 06:02:38 PMOpen feeding means that bees flye like mad here and there. For what?For the reasons I stated. Each sentence is true. Less equipment. Less work. Distributes feed with more going to bigger hives. Simulates flow (whether you think that is necessary or not). But the main reason is that open feeding at a distance from the hives does not set off robbing. In-hive feeding often does.
Open feeding can also spread disease, and provoke fighting

All the snacks look so delicious and they are definitely healthier than other snacks out there - well done! It looked like you all had an amazing time! :)ReplyDelete
All the food looks so yummy! I'm still a little bleary eyed after a late night, maybe I can catch a nap today.ReplyDelete
Looks like everyone had a great time! Your food all looks delicious...I'm going to try out your jalapeno's soon!ReplyDelete

Can't wait to try the caprese skewers for my husband's birthday party this weekend.

Thanks for your concerns, because I know that often owners don't realize what it takes to handle a dog, which unfortunately can lead to accidents.
I'm not naive and safety is my top priority, so I posted the question to hear from people who had/have dogs with similar personalities and from trainers who have experience and could give me some extra advice.
Thanks again!
|If you are not experienced to pick your own puppy, do you think that you can handle a pp trained dog? They have to be able to figure things and threats out themselves and act accordingly. Are you ready for that type of dog?
I think you misunderstood my post. I stated that most clubs don't want to see a dog work in defense. They want only prey. I am joining a club, but one that doesn't only work in prey drive. When the dog is mature, they work also in defense and more 'real world' than sport. I'm well aware that as a pup and very young dog, too much pressure will mess up a dog. This happened to my first GSD who ended up having to protect me at too young of an age (not by a trainer, by a home situation) and then was messed up from that. This trainer and club owner is very experienced and very good. It's the exact same type of club and training that Onyx's owner has Karlo in. You have no problem with that, but you're giving me grief, which I don't get. He's not going to take a five month old pup and put pressure on it that the dog can't handle. I am speaking in the long term, and from what I've been told by other clubs about what they 'prefer'. I also know that he's got to do well in obedience. A dog that does badly in obedience should never be trained in anything put prey. (If that, even) However, he will start training right away. He needs the trial obedience and tracking training also. I'm not taking him to some personal protection hack trainer. I'm looking for IPO titles also. I just want my guy to have more experience than "this is a game to go play" because as he matures, I expect to see some genetic civil aggression out of him. Having an outlet for that and knowing what's appropriate and what's not is important to me.
My pup is also already handler protective. I didn't train that. In fact, it's surprising to me. It's not surprising to his breeder though. I talked to this trainer for over an hour. We talked about how they introduce 'stress' to dogs in training. Nothing that would make a dog fold or harm the dog mentally. This trainer was recommended to me. He said he prefers working with 'real' dogs. I don't see that as a bad thing. I think that dogs with IPO titles that will fold when confronted with a real threat is a bad thing, and the trainer agreed with me. If I wasn't on the same page with this guy, I wouldn't be willing to waste my time and money going there. Whatever your goals are with your dog, you have to find a place that those goals can be met. However, they have to be realistic goals and goals that aren't harmful to your dog. Any trainer that starts training young pups to work in defense is harming them. That's not what I meant at all, though. This is a long term thing for me...so that part will come later. That it's available is what is exciting, as a lot of clubs don't want that type of dog or that type of work.
More than police dogs can do this type of work. Any confident, stable dog can do this work. My guy is from PS lines. He's genetically predisposed to being able to do this type of work. Why not work with the genetics and temperament instead of against it?
Jag also i just wanted to comment no decent place is going to prefer dogs working in defense, that is just a very confidant police dog that can handle a lot of pressure and is in fight? drive. It depends on the dog what the goal is and what needs to be worked on to get to that goal and the level of experience and nerve of that dog etc..
Working young not ready dogs in defense is a great way to screw them up and ruin them. A lot of crappy trainers will do this and try to trick you into thinking they are making your dog really tough and vicious for protection. usually Personal protection trainers who try to scam people will do this.
|Jag also if your dog is a puppy i wouldnt be working it in defense let it mature and just work it in prey till its drives balance out for now. Don't put too much pressure on it where it feels it needs to go into real defense (fears for its life) Join a sport club and when its over a year and confidant then think about other stuff. Puppy shouldn't be getting defensive like that.

THANK YOU ALL for you help! I will try to get more info from the breeder and see how things go.
nice vid onyx my bitches father is also a titled patrol dog
its not pure defense its a mix of defense and prey
when my dog is being worked she seems to be in both or being switched in and out of both its really wierd, she boxes and spars with the decoy like they are in a boxing or ufc match. Like the decoy is a fighting partner. Jag your dog has to work in prey drive also or he will be a stressed out mess in protection. Prey drive is a happy place to be and then defense is an ugly place to be. together they seem to balance each other out. Too much of either is a bad thing.

It's my understanding that Czech lines have a genetic civility that works well in this type of training, and it's the same reason they can do LE work and military work so well.
I'm part way through that vid. I LOVE the 'don't threaten my handler' reaction, LOL!!
mdm282, what are your pups lines, can you post a pedigree?
as I've already hijacked this thread(sorry!), I want to post a vid of Andy man tracking after he was retired from formal training/trialing. Work ethic never ends!

He won't out sometimes when I command him if he's on a new helper, he wants to test them some...we work on this whenever I get him on a new one! He understands what is expected, but does love to see what he can get away with(typical boy!)

Dear Auntie,
As someone new to TEFL, please can you tell me the benefits of using games in language teaching. In particular, how they can be used to explain a language point (e.g. grammar, vocab etc), which games are suitable for different levels and ages of students, the best time to use them in a lesson, how one would give instructions and seating arrangements etc. I need to consider Hangman, Tic Tac Toe (Os and Xs) and one other game (e.g. I Spy or Simon Says).
Thanks in anticipation,

text: Ugh, I hate reading the Washington Fish & Game Regs! I think it would be easier to study law or medicine.Any Washington fly fishermen here? What are some good rivers to fly for trout this winter? I see most rivers this time of the year are fly only which is perfect for me. Is the upper Yakima the only one open year round? Anything on the west side not too far? I live near Tacoma and that's a huge drive from here. Gas ain't cheap these days. lolSean Kelly

'Mainstays Henrik Tallinder and Toni Lydman are both unrestricted free agents. The Sabres desperately need a defenseman to quarterback their abysmal power play, so a signing or trade is a possibility. It appears Mike Weber, who played so well for the Sabres two years ago, and Marc-Andre Gragnani are ready to graduate from the AHL.'
