|If you haven't started yet I would see about exchanging that formula for something like the Duck and Bartlett Pear formula. Unfortunately, the formula you ended up choosing is one that has a calcium percentage quite a bit higher than what you should feed a GSD puppy. The Lamb and Apple formula has a calcium percentage of 2.2% and phosphorus of only a little over 1% ... The Duck and Pear is 1.3% calcium and 1.0% phosphorus which is much more suitable for a large breed puppy.
|Thanks so much for the help. The Purina EN and rice is finally kicking in and he's having some solid stool. I went to the pet store and ended up with Acana Lamb and Apple. We will slowly start adding this to his EN canned food today and hopefully he will transition well.
Agree with the others that the Acana is a good choice. I'd make the mix heavy on white rice for a few days as well. Once the digestive tract gets irritated, you could be feeding the best food in the world and the pup would still have tummy issues. Let the rice help out a bit with settling things down while you transition the food.
Good luck with the pup, oh and pictures are pretty popular around here .
read the labels of the Pro Plan and the prescription and see
what the difference is.
|Ken Clean-Air System
At such a young age a change is a change, whether it is from one formula of Purina to another or from the prescription Purina to a different brand. Whatever you decide transition slowly, gradually increasing the amount of new food while decreasing the old food over the course of at least a few days.
Given the choice between the three foods you mentioned I, personally, would choose Acana. Make sure if you do pick Acana that the formula you choose has an acceptable level of Calcium for a large breed puppy, because not all of the Acana formulas do. Also keep in mind, regardless of what brand you choose, that over feeding can and will cause loose stools and the recommended feeding amounts listed on the bags are usually quite generous.
Good luck with you new puppy!
|Nooo Purina! The ingredients aren't "pro" anything. I would recommend the Acana the breeder had your pup on.
Help with Puppy Feeding
We got our 3 mo old GSD a week ago Tues from the breeder. It was very hectic when I picked him up and forgot to ask what food he had been feeding him, I had bought the Blue puppy food and started him on that. I did expect a few days of loose stools b/c of the change but they got better 2 days later. Friday he had his 2nd vaccinations and starting the next day started having very loose stools. I gave him rice mixed in with a little bit of the Blue and it got better....Monday loose stools started up again. I took a stool sample to the vet and it was OK. They put him on 3 days of canned Purina Veterinary diets EN along with Fortiflora. Stools are a little better but still on the loose side. They said after tomorrow I could switch him back to the Blue (for some reason the vet does not like Blue) or switch him to Purina Pro Plan. I don't know what to do. I don't want to play "musical dog food" but need to make a decision tomorrow. The breeder had him on Acana. Between the Blue, Acana and Pro Plan I am not sure what to do....and this time I will slowly start him. The reason I through the Pro Plan into the mix was because he has been on the prescription Purina for a few days and I figured the change would be easier. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much

Hey all,
Just wanted to know if there are any ladies out here that are looking to go out hunting. Maybe your spouse is deployed and still would like to get out on that water, just not alone. If so you're not alone. I would like to start a military/spouse hunting group. Don't get me wrong I love hunting with you guys, heck I started out with my husband, K9 and a couple other male buddies but it would be nice to have that same camaraderie with you gals. I know this summer while my husband is deployed I'll be the one getting our boat ready and everything prepared so we can get right out on that water when he returns. Just wanted to know if anyone else is in the same boat. Or guys, maybe you would like to get your wife interested in hunting with you but she's just a little nervous to go shooting with the boys?

Just thought I'd post up a few progress pics of my Cad Bane mask. It is a 'real-world' imagining rather than the animated version.
I was asked to make it as a commission for a chap in the GK who is doing a full costume. It is sculpted in wet clay over a lifecast.
The chap wants to use Oakley type iridium lenses for the eyes which I have cast and replaced with dummies for the sculpt.
Hence the eyes look a little flat imo but it should work nicely.
This is going to be cast in Latex and foam. I'm also making the hoses for him.
I've still got a long way to go on detailing a finish but he's nearly there.
Question: What do you Bounty Hunter experts think Cad Bane's balaclava (thing that covers his neck and back of head) is made of?
Leather or some sort of rubber?? Any ideas???

Born: February 5, 1995
Position: Midfielder
An elegant midfielder, Jon joined Arsenal from Barcelona alongside compatriot Hector Bellerin in summer 2011 and quickly caught the eye in a hugely promising debut campaign.
The young Spaniard's season was sadly cut short by injury in January but his mood was lifted by a first professional contract in February.
Jon's vision and eye for goal earned rave reviews last term and it was not long before he was handed his reserves debut at Aston Villa.
The left-footed midfielder enjoys making late runs into the box, which makes him a goalscoring threat as well as a creative force.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hi! I have inverted mammary glands, does it matter in breastfeeding? Thanks.
18th April 2014 09:46 PM #2
First it is important to establish if you do have truly inverted nipples as this can be misdiagnosed. Gently push down the darker skin on your nipples (the areola) and then look at what happens to each nipple. It is becomes flat, rather than inverted, then it would be known as a 'flat nipple'. If the nipple goes backwards during this process then it would be 'truly inverted'.
Please could you try this and tell me what you think for each of your nipples.
The good news is that whether your nipples are flat or inverted, there are techniques to help to draw them out. These are explained further in this previous thread about inverted nipples.
A lactation consultant would be a great person to see about this and they can help to advise you further.
Please post back with any further questions you have about this.
Warm wishes,

Regulations on Seat Belt Use
The UNC Policy Manual
Adopted 10/15/85
Regulations on Seat Belt Use
The State of North Carolina requires that seat belts be used by all drivers and front-seat passengers in most types of motor vehicles. To re-enforce and complement that requirement, it is the policy of the University of North Carolina that all persons (both employees and students) traveling in a State vehicle assigned to the University shall use available front and back seat belts. Failure to comply with this policy may result, at the option of the campus, in the withdrawal of an individual's privilege of using State vehicles.

That's my hope. If she's up to doing some Agility, more than willing to work with her in that... really, as I said, first and foremost a healthy well rounded dog, and then from there go with what would work best for her. But yeah. Really excited and ready to have her here already!! I am going to be making her a catch pole, getting her crate all set up (already have a very large cat crate I plan on using at first, then moving to a large dog crate that I also already own, and then if need be moving up from there), making a couple other toys, getting other toys, etc. Ready to have her home, but I'm glad I have the time to prepare.
And she will be RAW fed like my current dog and cat.
|Harry and Lola
|She is gorgeous, looks all GSD to me but if she does have some Boarder Collie in her then she will be a good runner and a good worker
Awwhhh she is so cute!!!!
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I hope "mostly" German Shepherds are still welcome...
From Texas, going to be bringing home my new addition in a little over 4 weeks (or just right at 4 weeks, depends on various timing).
Dam is an unknown mix, but if I had to guess I would say Border Collie x GSD.
Sire is a full blooded German Shepherd from Czech Lines.
I am not paying for the puppy, and mother is going to be spayed after all puppies find new homes and her teets shrink back up (I really hope the current owner keeps her inside during the rest of this time and/or is willing to abort, as it's out in the countryside with lots of male dogs around).
But, yeah. I'm excited.
Born January 2nd, so will be 8 weeks old right at the 27th/28th of February, which is when I hope to be bringing her home, if everything works out as planned.
First and foremost I want a well behaved and well rounded dog. Plan on doing a lot of obedience training, as well as building prey drive for either schutzhund sport or personal protection dog training (the latter is what I would prefer). I don't want to do a lot, and I honestly don't care if the dog defends my home. I don't care about my possessions, but a dog that, at the right age and with the proper control and training, can defend ME and those with me if need be... or at least keep them at bay... would be nice.
But if she turns out to not be the right kind of dog for that, I'm perfectly happy and content to just work on the obedience training, and have a buddy I can go trail riding with and take to horse shows with me.
And before anyone asks, she will be getting spayed as soon as she's old enough.
So... yeah. Even though she's not pure German Shepherd, I hope we're still welcome here.
I had joined a couple other personal protection dog forums, only to find that they were the furthest thing from active, so I thought I'd try a large forum that keeps popping up with every google search for puppy training, schutzhund stuff, toys for GSD type breeds, etc.
Sorry for the essay. I get long-winded sometimes.
ETA: And a picture... think that might be in order.

If you're like me… a Microsoft Office user for years and years then you're very used to the concept of the Page Setup. Things such as margins and page orientation could be located there.
We found this gem under the File menu or, with the newer versions, we could access it on the Page Layout tab of the Ribbon.
It then follows as logical that when moving into our new OpenOffice.org environment we'd see the File menu and think that the Page Setup information could be accessed there.
Yeah, no. We were wrong on that account… it is in there… just not where we expected it to be.
To access what OpenOffice.org has to offer in each program's Page Setup you'll need to go to the Format menu, Page choice.
Once you get there you may find that the items you can alter within this dialog box are a bit different than what you're used to but you'll still find that core of settings along with a few things you might find useful are present.
Now that you've found them it's just a few adjustments and a quick click of the OK button and you're back to business as usual.

I have a Rubies Boba Fett helmet I bought earlier this year, but bought it with no intention of using it as a wearable item. I bought it because I collect Boba Fett toys.
I want a good Boba Fett helmet. Something that will be wearable, as I have decided to give building a Fett costume a try for myself.
I want one that will look correct.
Where do I start and how much can I expect to spend?
I will be doing my own painting.

Hey my friends!
Do you have a weakness for signs? Me too ;) All over blog land and even name brand catalogs…signs are everywhere.
I saw a photo on a blog from Pottery Barn catalog, and showed Mr. Buckets.
And, being the sweet carpenter guy that he is…now I have some nice, big wooden letters over the stove.
Here is my inspiration photo from Pottery Barn:
Just look at that farmhouse. kitchen. OH. MY!
Our little kitchen does not have quite the space to put GROCERIES, so we opted for a much shorter word :)
And did you notice the ASPARAGUS sign in the above Pottery Barn photo? Well, I painted my version of that one, also:
This one was just stenciled onto an old piece of barn wood. Our family loves asparagus in the summer months. My kids eat it like candy.
I did not, however, paint the stenciled number jars. They came from a store called Tuesday Morning- great things at great prices :)
Well, I'm sharing my signs this week at these fun parties:
And one more little tidbit of news: our "farmhouse project" was featured today on Design Shuffle Blog. It's a neat blog, where you can get designing ideas, or share your own. Go take a look at the sweet post they did…I'm most honored to be featured. Thanks to the folks at Design Shuffle for giving us a shout-out!!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Jul 1, 2009.
LB has no interest in Tay.
Why do you say that? Tay plays "the right way".
Even when desparate. Think about what it took for the Celtics to pry KG away from Minnesota. The Raptors would be looking to get a similar pay day.
So did Toni Kukoc. Just take my word for it.
He did do exactly that during brief stretches during this year's 1st round embarrassment. Tell me, do you really think he did that much worse than Tay? At least he wasn't distracted by LeBron's muscles. Maxiell may be our best LeBron stopper at the moment.
Its a five year deal,,,who says Gordon has to start from game one? Gordon can come off the bench this season if push come to shove. He can still play 25-30 minutes a game depending on what Stuckey and Rip are doing. read> having a bad day at the office. Vinny Johnson could have started for some teams but did his job off the bench for the bad boys for you old schoolers who remember the good old days. I am still worried about our paint defense so I concerned when both Gordon and Stuckey are in there at the same time. The big will have to a bid defensive presence to make up for their shortcomings and Tays' defense gets worse as the season progresses. We do need another big so either Tay or Rip will have to be moved. Tyson Chandler looks like an obvious choice. (Should have got him in an S & T for Ben 3 years ago). We could add another UCONN guy by sending Tay to the Bobcats for Okafor whose numbers last year were better than Chandler, but why would LB do that?? As decent as these pickups were, we still only move up to 5th in the seeding order if Joe's only remaining move after this is signing Dice....
And that IMO would be a coup!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure if this has been posted: HornetsReport.com | Forums - Pistons interested in Chandler?
Not sure who that other expiring would be. If NO doesn't take Rip or Tay I don't think it's possible to get this done unless I've missed someone.
Agreed, Tay didn't do any better than Rip on the defensive side. The fact is, no one can really stop/guard Lebron/Kobe, but only make their job harder. I think Pietrus did a good job vs the Cavs and we need that type of player.
It makes sense (for them not us) that they'd want Giant Turd. ...Wouldn't we be left with one Center again? What are we gonna do, sign some combo of Kelvin Cato and/or Elden Campbell for the vet minimum?
Interesting how good they think Maxiel is. But if we sent Kwame $4.1M + Maxiel ($5M) that totals $9.1M, which saves NewOrl's $2.5M, doesn't help them get far enough under. Understand folks, NewOrl's is about anywhere from $6-$8M over the Lux Cap as of today, before signing a draft pick, or a free agent with the MLE. They are trying to dump salaries BIG TIME!!!!!
Kwame is off the books next year. And I believe that Chandler has a player option for 1 more season after this.
Separate names with a comma.

What could we do better?
Three quarters of a century on from launch, Nestlé Kit Kat continues to be a recipe for success.
With around 540 Kit Kat fingers consumed every second worldwide and 17.6 billion fingers sold every year as noted by the Guinness Book of Records in March 2010, today Kit Kat proudly celebrates its 75th birthday.
The Kit Kat name originates from the late 17th century in London, where a literary club met at a pie shop owned by pastry chef Christopher Catling. The group was called the Kit Kat club and took its name from an abbreviated version of the owner's name.
In 1911, Rowntree's, based in York in the United Kingdom, registered the brand names Kit Cat and Kit Kat, but did not immediately use these.
In 1935 in London and the South East of the United Kingdom, the first four-fingered wafer was launched as Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp. Within 18 months however, it was rebranded by Rowntree's marketing director George Harris, as Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp. Here, an iconic brand was born.
This marked the start of a revolution in confectionery. The snap of the chocolate coated wafer fingers became a household ritual in its home market of the UK, and then quickly all over the world as the brand was successfully launched in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada.
In 1988, the acquisition of Rowntree meant that Kit Kat came under the Nestlé umbrella, catalysing an expansion of the brand into Central & Eastern Europe, emerging Asian markets and Latin America.
A year after the acquisition, Kit Kat production extended to a new Nestlé facility in Kasumigaura in Japan. In the following decade Nestlé also set up operations in Malaysia, India and China.
For its first 64 years Kit Kat was only available in two-finger and four-finger formats. But following the successful launch of Kit Kat Chunky in 1999, which took the brand into the hunger-satisfying segment of confectionery, there have been a further series of brand innovations, the most recent being the successful launch of a more indulgent Kit Kat Senses in 2008.
Marcelo Melchior, left, Head of the Confectionery Strategic Business Unit (SBU) at Nestlé, said: "Today, we sell Kit Kat directly in 72 countries. Consumers will not find exactly the same recipe in each country, but Kit Kat has the same fundamentals; the perfect balance of chocolate and wafer with a recipe tailored to the consumers' needs. This is then combined with consistent branding and great communication to the customer with our famous 'Have a break, have a Kit Kat.' advertising line. These are the ingredients for its on-going success."

Late 17th century: A literary and political club met at a pie shop in central London, owned by Christopher Catling. The group was called the Kit Kat club, which took its name from an abbreviated version of the owner.
1911: Rowntree, a major confectionery business based in York in the UK registers the names Kit Cat and Kit Kat.

Can you ever defeat the fire ants in the south? Fire Ants = :evil: :evil: :evil:I bought some AMDRO a while back thinking I might use some around my hives, but I haven't used it yet. Not too many ant problems here and I didn't want to risk poisoning the bees. Anybody know if Bees are likely to try to collect the AMDRO granules?
I've been told (by the local extension office) that bee's can pick up AMDRO. They recommended covering the ant hill with a tarp or large sheet of plastic until they've taken all the AMDRO into the hive.
I am told the armadillo, is slowly adjusting to the weather, and moving into our area, which I understand they are ant eaters, maybe they will be a godsend for us here.
It is listed for ticks so that tells me it kills on contact.

SOUTH BARRINGTON, IL — The Amusement and Music Operators Association yesterday released its 2006 Survey of Jukebox Owners And Operators, based on research conducted by academics at the University of New Orleans' Division of Business and Economic Research. On the upside, the survey shows that "Download jukeboxes are consistently the highest yielding boxes per play…[and] revenue for Download jukeboxes is highest. Average weekly gross revenue is $268.22, with 89.4% yielding $100 per week or more. In contrast, jukeboxes using 45s bring in little revenue. Almost two thirds yield $25 or less. Boxes with CDs yield $75 or less for just over half (52%) of their operators." However, the survey found growing competition from other forms of music delivery: "Satellite radio is present in more than one quarter (27.8%) of the locations in which jukeboxes are operated," the survey reports. "MP3 players are also used in 13.4% of locations. These new media have replaced to some extent all of the other forms of music, including live bands and karaoke. These relatively new forms of competition create new challenges for the jukebox operators." Anonymous comments by survey respondents included several statements such as, "Taverns are increasingly providing free music and entertainment for their patrons giving up juke income in favor of attracting and holding customers." …Separately, Starbucks Entertainment president Ken Lombard said portable devices have become an important part of today's consumer lifestyle. "Customers want to bring their [portable music] devices into our stores," he said. "We don't have a solution today, but we are committed to finding one." VT will publish a full report on the AMOA Jukebox Survey in its June edition.
DES MOINES, IA — Many operators of Iowa's 6,400 gambling-type TouchPlay machines are "considering bankruptcy" in the wake of the May 4 shutdown of the market, according to the Des Moines Register. The state legislature adjourned last week without crafting any reprieve for operators who invested millions in the belief that they were participating in a solid, legal market. Courts also refused to stay the ban despite numerous operator requests for relief. Some operators say they'll sue the state for damages. The Register quoted Bob Lentz of Bob's Amusement Co. (Altoona) as saying he'd spend "every last penny" on such a lawsuit. Lentz also said he remains "in shock" and is considering bankruptcy, unable to pay the $180,000 he still owes on 30 TouchPlay machines.
BELLEVUE, WA — Coinstar Inc., the country's largest operator of bulk vending machines, skill cranes and other self-service vending devices, announced a redeployment that splits bulk vending and crane operations. Fred Simon, president of the firm's Coin-Op Factory division, will now oversee the company's bulk vending operations. Randy Fagundo will continue overseeing skill cranes and other amusement vending devices. This realignment – which follows the creation of Coin-Op Factory, launched in April, to develop merchandise for bulk vending and skill cranes – provides greater focus on two of Coinstar's key areas of operation, the company noted.
SOUTH BARRINGTON, IL — The Amusement and Music Operators Association named Susan Hall member services manager. She will oversee several AMOA committees, manage AMOA's website, contribute to the bimonthly Edge newsletter and direct various new/existing member benefit programs. AMOA's new programs manager, Maggie Kapinos, will also help direct the work of several committees, plan association meetings and handle other administrative responsibilities. AMOA executive vice-president Jack Kelleher said both new staffers have strong experience working with trade associations.

You can bump any cone 6 glaze up to cone 8 by adding equal parts kaolin and silica. You'll have to test to figure out exactly how much. Cone 10 glaze can be brought down with the addition of about 3% Gillespie Borate. Having fired cone 8 for a couple of years, I can tell you the biggest problem with firing cone 8 is that you'll be under firing cone 10 clay bodies, or over firing cone 6, neither of which is ideal. I also gained 20-30% longer element life by dropping down to cone 6. There's no good reason I have found to fire at cone 8.

When U.S. House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama started their "fiscal cliff" negotiations last year, there was great hope that the U.S. was heading toward a repeat of 1986, when President Ronald Reagan secured major reforms to simplify the income-tax code.
We didn't get 1986. We didn't even come close. Despite early, ambitious proposals to reduce tax expenditures -- the myriad exemptions, deductions and credits within the tax code -- lawmakers couldn't agree on a single simplification.
Big tax reform isn't likely to get any further this year, when Republicans and Democrats resume conversations on fiscal issues to avert two pending government shutdowns: the debt ceiling and the expiration of the "continuing resolution," which funds the federal operating budget.
The very thing that makes base-broadening tax reform so attractive in the abstract makes it unattainable in political practice. You offend few people by pledging to reduce tax expenditures. But try to actually eliminate the deduction on mortgage interest? Prepare to have the National Association of Realtors block the deal. Take away the deduction on charitable contributions and every non-profit organization in the country will call for your head.
Almost every major tax expenditure has a powerful interest group ready to rally in its defense. That's why the expenditures are there in the first place, and why they are worth several hundred billion dollars in foregone annual tax revenue.
This is not to say advocates should lose hope on tax reform. Instead, they should try focusing on a major method of tax simplification largely overlooked in the 2012 conversation: tax standardization.
Americans now spend a combined 6.1 billion man-hours completing their taxes each year, according to a report from the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate, which plays the role of ombudsman within the Internal Revenue Service. That's the rough equivalent of a full workweek for every taxpayer -- a tremendous national waste of time, which comes with significant opportunity costs.
Compliance costs are approximately $105 billion to $175 billion per year in 2007 dollars, according to the Tax Policy Center, though changes to electronic tax filing may make these estimates a bit high. Nevertheless, this amounts to between 4.3 percent and 7.2 percent of total federal tax revenue. For comparison, compliance costs can be about 1 percent of tax revenue in other developed countries.
Successful tax standardization would thus reduce compliance costs by the equivalent of a historically large tax cut. If such costs could be reduced to 1 percent of revenue, standardization would be worth $1.2 trillion over 10 years. That's more than a third of the George W. Bush tax cuts in terms of value.
How could the U.S. accomplish such standardization? The Tax Policy Center provides a useful collection of the best proposals. Here are three broad strategies to simplify and standardize taxes: align the eligibility thresholds for rate brackets and all tax expenditures, consolidate similar tax provisions and use a single definition of "child."
Past Congresses have left a nonsensical jumble of eligibility standards for tax expenditures. The result is a system in which credits and deductions have their own income thresholds and phase-out ranges. The current chaos also creates wild volatility in effective marginal tax rates as credits phase in and out.
A future Congress can replace the accumulated disorder with a single, simple and rational system by grouping the income thresholds for various benefits, their phase-outs and tax-rate brackets. That would make it much faster and easier for most people to determine their eligibility for and the value of their deductions and credits.
Congress should also consider merging tax credits that apply to the same activities and are frequently collected together. For low-income families with dependents, for instance, the earned-income tax credit, the child tax credit and the dependent-care credit could be folded together into a single credit, with shared paperwork and filing requirements.
Sometimes, the fixes are head-bangingly simple, such as using a common definition of "qualified child" across tax credits and deductions. Under the current system, it is possible have different numbers of "children" depending on the benefit program. A child must be younger than 13 for the child and dependent care credit, but he or she can be as old as 17 for the child credit, or even 19 for the earned-income tax credit. Such complexity is unnecessary.
Tax standardization can potentially go even further than these incremental solutions. Another bright idea is to shift tax expenditures out of the tax code and make them actual spending programs. For example, instead of deducting mortgage interest from your taxes, you would pay taxes without taking the deduction and then receive a check in the mail.
This would make no real difference to taxpayers. But it would create two major opportunities for tax reform in the future.
First, by shifting out tax expenditures, the U.S. would have a federal code simple enough that the vast majority of filers wouldn't need to file their own taxes. The U.S. could adopt either a system of "exact withholding" or a "tax agency reconciliation" system.
In the former, your employer would withhold the exact amount you owe in taxes -- no tax return required. In the latter, the IRS would send you a bill calculating your tax liability, which you could approve or adjust. Either system would dramatically reduce compliance costs, even counting the time it would take to file for the "rebate" spending.
Second, this seemingly semantic shift would force the public to see tax expenditures for what they really are: government spending. This might even help the U.S. warm to the idea of more aggressive tax reductions over time.
Tax reform a la 1986 may not be possible in today's political environment. But tax standardization is a goal within reach in 2013.

Hey Guys,
Before I start, I have searched through countless forums and tech sites for a definitive answer to this question and haven't been able to find it so here I go.
I'm interested in buying a aftermarket double din head unit (touch screen/Bluetooth/DVD) but I want to retain ALL buttons on the Steering Wheel Controls (including the bluetooth cell phone buttons pick-up/hang-up).
I am fully aware that I would need the ASWC-1 module. (http://ae64.com/ASWC-steering-wheel-interface.htm)
But, I have read that most people lose the correct Bluetooth buttons function which is something I am not willing to sacrifice.
And I will most likely be ordering SVXdc's wiring harness since everyone who does this seems to recommend his. (Subaru WRX radio harness pin-out)
According to ae64.com:With that said, I have no idea which head units are supported and have no idea how to sort them out.Will the ASWC-1 retain all of my SWC buttons?
The ASWC-1 will "see" all of your steering wheel buttons (6 on older Subarus, 8 on newer models with the extra phone/Bluetooth buttons). As far as the module is concerned, they're all just buttons. It doesn't care what the label says on each button. You program the module to determine what remote control command a button sends to the HU. Each button can do any command that the HU supports. That last part is key: Many HUs don't have remote control commands that correspond to all of your wheel's phone buttons (even HUs that have built-in BT). It's a limitation of the HU itself.
Has anyone done this and was able to get the Bluetooth buttons to work correctly? If so, what head unit are you using? And what do I need to do when I install?
For my 2014 WRX Limited Hatch with stock Head unit (not the navi).
- Joe

This system for a CRV makes for a much simplified air filter maintenance. All you need to do is loosen the clamp to the air filter, clean, oil and re-install. No more loosening multiple clamps and unbolting the box which the filter is in to get to the filter. The only drawback is the price for the K & N unit.

"Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success."- Sparky Anderson
If anyone could make me a real signature that would be awesome I am not great with photoshop.
Right now I have just started "A Well-Paid Slave: Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sports" by Brad Snyder. Very interesting so far. Flood was not exactly the saint people make him out to be. There were allegations of domestic abuse and he wasn't really a portrait painter. What he would do is take pictures of his subjects, enlarge it and have some guy in California paint over it.
I'm also reading, "The Politics of Glory: How Baseball's Hall of Fame Really Works" by Bill James. A little dated but it gives great insight on how players are selected to the HOF and why. I read this before I go to sleep so I keep losing my place in the book since I fall asleep while reading it.
I also got this book for Christmas from someone in my family called, "The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid" by Bill Bryson. This is such a delightful book. I would recommend it to any kid who grew up in the Baby Boomer generation. The author recreates his life as a kid in the 1950s. It is especially significant to me since he grew up in Des Moines, Iowa. I grew up in the 60s and 70s in a small town about 60 miles southeast of Des Moines so I recognize a lot of the things he talks about. One reviewer praised it as, "an exercise in hyperbole." For example he spoke of a time he was hurt as a kid and his parents called a "Dr. Alzheimer" to make a house call but the good doctor wouldn't go until the golf tournament on TV was over with.
I read the Bill James book when it first came out, and I still run through his points in my mind every HoF vote.
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Good read so far. Dawkins is good at communicating difficult scientific concepts into language the laymen can understand.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
I just started The Yankee Years by Joe Torre and Tom Veducci. It is a very entertaining read so far. I also picked up The Last Hero, A Life of Henry Aaron by Howard Bryant to dig into over the weekend. I've heard great things about both books.
Kidnapped, by Robert Louis Stephenson
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Im on the last few pages of a book called "To Hate Like This is to be Happy Forever", by Will Blythe. Its a documnetary on the rivalry between UNC and dook, but more on life in general with college basketball almost as a background reference point. Very entertaining, would reccomend even to non UNC fans.
UNC Tar Heels 2017 National Champions 6 time NCAA Champs!!!
57, 82, 93, 05, 09, 17
Go Heels!!!!!
Just read THE GAME FROM WHERE I STAND by Doug Glanville. I thought it was pretty good and a very easy read that keeps you interested. Nothing earth shattering came from it but you end up being invested because Glanville seems like a really nice and intelligent guy. He gives more detail on what a players day to day life is like in MLB. Not as many great anecdotes as say Kurkijans book but after all this is just one guys biography and not a collection of stories.
Its the time of year where I stock up on baseball books till season starts. Up next is THE BAD GUYS WON. Not a fan of Pearlman so we will see how this goes.
Just finished "Radical" by David Platt. I highly recommend it to fellow Christian believers. Very convicting, and and energizing, stuff.
Just finished The Big Short by Michael Lewis. First of all, Michael Lewis has written another fantastic story that you can't put down once you start. He's easily my favorite author right now and I can't wait for whatever his next book will be.
Secondly, all I can say is WOW! I'm speechless after learning of the events that led to the economic meltdown and can't believe it could have possibly happened in this day and age. It was all avoidable. And it happened in such a short period of time, that makes it all the more unbelievable (even though the culture that led to making it possible was about 20+ years in the making). And the disgusting part is that the small handful of people responsible for making it happen all walked away filthy rich with no real repercussions. Many of them are back working on Wall Street, some even in the mortgage business.

Finally finished a childhood dream, and finished the complete "Chronicles of Narnia" series. Inspired by reading "The Game of Throwns" in anticipation of the HBO series to air this April, I had the complete series as a kid, had read Lion, The Witch & The wardrobe a couple of times, and Prince Caspian a time or two, but never could get into the Dawn Treader.
Anyways, I decided to plow thru it for better or worse. Having not read it since about 10, but still holding "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardobe" as one of my favorite stories from childhood, I enjoyed most of it. I had definently forgotten how much of a children's book it is. Easy read, you could easily do a story a day if you had the time. "The Horse & His Boy" seemed to be forced in, I'm not really sure why it was in there, other than perhaps a way to introduce the antagonist in "the last battle", but then again "The Last Battle" seemed to have little point other than to get you to the end of the story. though I liked the way the series officially ended, the last book "The last battle" was perhaps the worst of the 7 stories. "The Magician's Nephew" was a fun read, however I read it in the chronological order presented in the latest full edition. I'm not sure it really belongs at the begining of the book, I think the "opening of Narnia" holds a little more mistique after having read the first book or two and getting a gradual feel for everything.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Pigs...in general the too competent or incompetent analogy holds...but in this case he has used the surveyor before and...
The surveyor in question kept me from loosing a great deal of money on a fin keel 30-footer that the broker told me "It's normal for the keel to flex like that. The surveyor pulled up the sole and showed me how the hull itself was flexing due to the loose keel.
Sounds like a TOO competent surveyor to me!
I hate to be the secong guy with the real estate analogy but here goes. I have a regular home buying customer that quit using a particular home inspector when the guy said his sprinkler did not work. It belonged to the neighbor is why. Same guy said the stove would not come on and I just turned the knob and it worked. Back to the boat, the question should be, is he not wanted because he is considered incompetant or TOO competant. It could be either!
I don't have to 'work with' anyone except the person writing my check. my only responsiblity is to the seaworthiness of a particular vessel.
That being said, some brokers spit my name, if they mention me at all and some would buy me a beer if I drank. I find the ones that don't like me much are usually the ones that don't know what they are selling, or are a little less than forthcoming if they do have a clue.
Hey, everyone has to earn a living, and I don't begrudge anyone for doing what they have to.
But one of the only things that makes me bark like that womans dawgs, is a person trying to pull the wool over anothers eyes... pisses me right off. I'm not the nicest guy in the marina at that point.
Te little pond I'm on, theres a marina that has a "resident" surveyor..(literally) He gets ALL of that marinas' business and theres not a boat there he doesn't like. And He's not a bad surveyor! That particular brokerage doesn't like "outside people snooping around" (quote from sales manager to a prospective buyer)...ok, no sweat off my neck, my give a sh** factor" is pretty low to begin with
Anyway, some surveyors are their own worst enemy. I've seen some reports that include loose curtain brackets (and they were velcro!).. some will put down every nit-picky mud dauber nest in an effort to fill a page.
In short, if a broker "won't work" with a surveyor, ask the broker and the surveyor as to why... Ask to see some sample reports from the surveyor. Ask at other marinas about the rep of both parties.
If the brokers an ass, find another boat and tell the owners they lost a sale because of it. If the surveyors an anal retentive twit that is more interested in the size of the report than the condition of the boat, find another surveyor.
Bravo I33, I was, in my own way, trying to turn on the lightbulb of the emotional buyer in my statement. As a sales consultant selling what is referred to as 'the average persons second largest expenditure', namely automobiles, you would fit in to the 1% of people I deal with. In my experience, people in general are emotional buyers. Of course the emotion runs from pure excitement to irrational anxiety, but it's emotion none the less.
|I agree with Cam, if your paying for the survey, you decide who will be the surveyor. It's that simple.

This immediately raised a flag in my mind that maybe there is something about this boat he is trying to hide.
I believe that since I am paying for the survey the choice of surveyor is MINE.
Bottom line is, absolutely go with your inspector, and push come to shove, the broker is going to have to shut up and deal.
I had an experience with my current boat where I knew the broker (bought two other boats from him) and their was a competent surveyor that they bared from the marina. This surveyor was also commonly employed by an major insurance company, so his "surveyor credentials" were not in question.
There was an offer on my present boat and the potential buyer forced the yard to let this surveyor perform the survey. When all was said and done, the surveyor did his "normal" thing and supposedly found many items that eventually killed the deal. When I made my offer I had a surveyor who was familiar with the boat and also the "other" surveyor. My broker shared with us the outcome of the previous inspection and the issues. My surveyor paid particular attention to them while he completed his survey. His familiarity with the boat model however allowed him to explain to me why the other surveyor was incorrect in his concerns. In the final analysis the boat was pronounced sound, I purchased it and have been happy for the past 5 years.
My surveyor hinted that the surveyor in question killed allot of very good deals through out the area. Some because he thought his job was to find as many things wrong with the boat as to impress his customer and offer areas of renegotiation (which is a half truism). Some areas he would voice concerns saying a "possible major problems" with little or no experience to back up his promise of doom. Further investigation seemed to prove that this surveyor was never happy with a boat over a certain age and under a certain price, therefore he was bared from the marina, and as my broker latter confesses it was to save the customer the cost of a survey that they new no matter the condition of the boat, the buyer would end up with more doubts then were necessary. My broker even offered to pay for a second survey for the potential buyer of my boat to prove the boats worthiness but by then there were so many questions the deal die. Thank goodness.
My advise is, if you trust the broker find out his concerns.. if you don't and you really want the boat your surveying plan on a second survey. therefore if the first does have issues you can confirm them.
Like others have said if you don't trust someone in the deal... probably better to walk away.
I think your broker was at least honest to say out right he would not deal with this surveyor. He could have just made it inconvenient and tried to steer you to another.
Good Luck
Say What?
Cam is right on the money, don't know what would make a broker think he had the option of not "working" with your surveyor.

Hume touted discredited WMD discovery; chided French news agency for not following suit
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
FOX News managing editor and chief Washington correspondent Brit Hume claimed on July 6 that coalition forces in Iraq "have found further weapons of mass destruction" (WMD); Hume also accused the news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) of brazenly denying the existence of WMD in Iraq. He failed to note that U.S. officials admitted on July 2 that the warheads in question were actually conventional artillery shells and did not contain chemical weapons as originally thought.
From the July 6 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: Coalition forces meanwhile, have found further weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But at least one news organization seems unable to accept it, even in a story that reports that such weapons have been found. Agence French Press [Agence France-Presse], after saying, quote, "Terrorist groups were seeking to acquire the warheads containing mustard or sarin gas, which Polish troops recently discovered in Iraq," reports several paragraphs later, quote, that "No weapons of mass destruction have yet been found in Iraq, seriously undermining," says the quote, "what was the central argument for going to war."
Late on July 1 and early on July 2, AFP issued at least two reports (here, for example) -- including the report Hume quoted -- that Polish troops in Iraq had found "more than a dozen warheads containing sarin or mustard gas." But AFP's Iraq roundup from later that same day (July 2) reported that the warheads in question did not contain poison after all.
Here's the AFP report from early July 2, which Hume quoted:
"Terrorist" groups were seeking to acquire the warheads containing mustard or sarin gas which Polish troops recently discovered in Iraq, the head of Poland's military intelligence service said on Friday [July 2].
Washington announced on Thursday that Polish troops had discovered more than a dozen warheads containing mustard or sarin gas in Iraq, a report later confirmed by Polish Defence Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski.
But here's what a later AFP report, dated "July 2, 7:40 PM," said about the same warheads:
Meanwhile, a dozen warheads that Polish forces said on Thursday contained mustard gas or sarin contained neither, according to US forces, who tested the 122mm munitions.
As for the apparent contradiction within the one article Hume quoted, AFP's unwillingness to treat the newly discovered warheads as evidence of Iraq's having possessed WMD before the U.S.-led invasion, as the Bush administration claimed, is probably based on the expert consensus regarding a previous discovery of similar shells in mid-May: On May 18, the Associated Press reported that American experts were not interpreting the discovery of an artillery shell with traces of sarin -- which exploded in Baghdad the previous weekend -- as evidence that deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had been hording stockpiles of banned weapons prior to the war in Iraq:
The discovery of an artillery shell apparently filled with a deadly nerve agent has raised fears among U.S. officials that insurgents may have more -- and will learn how to use them to greater effect.
But officials stopped short of claiming the munition was definite evidence of a large weapons stockpile in prewar Iraq or evidence of recent production by Saddam's regime -- the Bush administration's chief stated reason for invasion.
David Kay, the former top U.S. weapons hunter in Iraq, said it's possible the sarin shell was an old one, overlooked when Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein said he had destroyed such weapons in the mid-1990s.
Kay, in a telephone interview with The Associated Press, said he doubted the shell or the nerve agent came from a surviving hidden stockpile, but didn't rule out that possibility.
"It is hard to know if this is one that just was overlooked -- and there were always some that were overlooked, we knew that -- or if this was one that came from a hidden stockpile," Kay said. "I rather doubt that because it appears the insurgents didn't even know they had a chemical round."
The 155-millimeter artillery shell, which was converted into a roadside bomb, bore no special markings indicating it contained a chemical agent, so officials speculate that the bombers may have believed they were using a conventional artillery round.
A similar interpretation of the sarin shells discovered in May is probably what led British Prime Minister Tony Blair to concede on July 6 that coalition forces have yet to uncover WMD in Iraq: "I have to accept that we have not found them [Iraqi WMD], that we may not find them," Blair said before the House of Commons Liaison Committee.

After Arsenal's 5-3 victory over Chelsea on Saturday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of your thoughts on the game.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@JeffreyRomano - Van Persie hat-trick unbelievable. Best striker in the Premier League. Arsenal now officially on form.
@seanekon - Best day of my life, madness here! Koscielny brilliant. Everyone class. Van Persie hero - incredible!
@moalqassimi - Great credit goes to Gervinho for being unselfish in assisting Robin van Persie's first too.
@SuperSwe - Laurent Koscielny has been magnificent in the last couple of weeks. Brilliant on Saturday once again.
@dr_blackheart - Gervinho and Walcott were brilliant on the wings. Did Koscielny become a world-class centre-back today?
@bigjonesyy - Wilshere and Ramsey will be unreal together for the Arsenal when Jack is back.
@bzaidi - What a great weekend. I still can't believe that Arsenal result! All I can say is RvP = MVP.
@RobForbesDJ - Just finished watching the Arsenal game. What a result! Feels very good to smash the Blues for a change.
@Meetwhizkid - I must say that the Chelsea game could easily go down as the best performance by Theo Walcott this season.
@JamesGOONER88 - Fernando Torres cost £50 million, RvP cost £2.75m. That's why Arsène Wenger is a genius.

A professional enforcer investigates the brazen robbery of a high-stakes mob poker game in this crime thriller directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) and adapted from a novel by George V. Higgins. Livid over the fact that three low-level thieves have crashed the entire underworld economy, the mob's top brass hires Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) to see that the bandits pay for their crime. The closer Cogan gets to his target, however, the more he finds his mission complicated by an alcoholic hit man who's well past his prime, incompetent gangsters, and the playboy host of the inauspicious game.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa Learning Farms and Practical Farmers of Iowa will host a field day on Wednesday, Oct. 23 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Southeastern Community College, West Burlington. The field day will focus on use of cover crops for erosion control and soil health.
Cover crops are becoming more common on Iowa fields. They protect soil from wind and water erosion as well as capturing nitrogen that could otherwise leach from the soil and enter waterways. The field day includes presentations by Natural Resources Conservation Service soil scientist Jason Steele and area farmers Tim Knutson and Jim Pilling, who will share experiences in growing cover crops. District conservationist Drew DeLang will provide an update on the Lake Geode Watershed project. Field day attendees will visit the SCC cover crop plots that are using seed donated by Green Valley Seeds.
The event is free and includes a complimentary evening meal prepared by the Des Moines County Cattlemen. The field day will be at the Agri-Stock Arena at Southeastern Community College, 1500 West Agency Road, West Burlington.

As a condition of Saint Louis University's tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, it is prohibited from directly or indirectly participating or intervening in political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for elected public office. This prohibition is absolute and any violation, regardless of its scope, may result in the loss of the University's tax-exempt status. Accordingly, the University may not endorse candidates, provide or solicit financial or other means of support for candidates and political organizations, or permit its facilities, services, personnel and other resources to be used to support or oppose a candidate's campaign.
Saint Louis University wishes to maintain a campus environment that is conducive to the free and open discussion of ideas and opinions, and it encourages students, faculty and staff, in their individual capacities, to exercise their civic rights to participate in the electoral process, including involvement in political campaigns, so long as they make clear that their political activities and statements are their own and not the University's.
The Internal Revenue Service on a case-by-case basis, following a review of all facts and circumstances surrounding each case, makes the determination of whether or not an organization has intervened in a political campaign. The Internal Revenue Service has no bright line rules and provides limited guidance to assist organizations in determining whether or not a particular activity may constitute a prohibited political campaign intervention. Therefore, the University must carefully consider whether to permit on-campus political activities and events on a case-by-case basis. The following requirements and guidelines have been established for recognized student organizations who wish to invite candidates to appear on campus, hold candidate forums, or conduct activities designed to educate voters and encourage their participation in the electoral process.
The University, under appropriate circumstances and subject to certain conditions, may make its facilities available to recognized student organizations for non-partisan political activities designed to educate voters and encourage participation in the electoral process (such as candidate forums and debates, voter registration drives, and get out the vote efforts) so long as they in no way reflect or incorporate a political bias or opinion in their format and presentation, and are open to all members of the University community regardless of political affiliation.
Before inviting a candidate to speak on-campus or undertaking any voter education or registration activities, recognized student organizations must contact the Student Involvement Center to ensure that the University is able to accommodate a planned event or activity and maintain its compliance with the prohibition on political campaign interventions. Recognized student organizations seeking to use University facilities must follow all University policies and procedures governing the reservation and use of University facilities.
The University reserves the right to impose any conditions, restrictions or limitations upon the use of its facilities that the University, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to ensure its compliance with federal tax laws and regulations.
Recognized student organizations may invite candidates to speak on campus for the purpose of educating the University community. Candidate appearances must consist of a speech and question-and-answer session or similar communications in an academic setting and may in no way reflect or incorporate a political bias or opinion in their format and presentation. The agenda for a candidate appearance should address a wide range of issues and be of significant interest to the members of the University community.
If a candidate is invited to appear on campus, all other legally qualified candidates must be extended the same opportunity. All candidates must be provided the same opportunities to present their views and ideas with respect to the time allotted and at a date and time which will allow access to an audience that is equal in number and make up.
Admission to candidate appearances, their format and presentation may in no way be controlled by a candidate, campaign personnel, political party, partisan organization or any other individual or organization from outside of the University. Candidate appearances may not be held in coordination with any campaign related event or activity and shall not be used to solicit or collect campaign contributions or other political commitments.
Promotional materials for candidate appearances may not state or imply the University endorses candidate or political organization and takes no political position with regard to any candidate or organization.
The University may provide space to recognized student organizations to conduct voter registration activities, so long as these activities in no way reflect or incorporate a political bias or opinion and it is made clear the organization is not acting on behalf of the University. Voter registration on-campus is necessarily restricted to reserved tables and authorized spaces in accordance with the University's fundraising policy.
Voter registration activities must be held separate and apart from any political campaign related event or activity, and shall not be used to solicit or collect campaign or other political contributions or commitments. Voter registration activities may in no way be controlled by a candidate, campaign personnel, political party or partisan organization.
The use of the University's names and marks in conjunction with the promotion or conduct of voter registration activities is prohibited. However, the name Saint Louis University and the names of campus locations and may be used to identify the place where the activity is to occur.
