Update - in case anyone cares. And forgive me for the train of thought writing here...
We are making progress. We have let the big guy (GSD) get to the little one several times and basically just sniffs and licks her. I made it a point to sit on the floor with both of them very close together (little one on my lap - I know it's not standard protocol, but it's a start). He managed to calm down after some working with him. He did approach her a few times and there was much face licking on both of their parts.
Then, we went for a walk all together and there was good progress from our attempt at group walking yesterday. Little one didn't bark at all (yesterday, she barked the whole time). Though the GSD kept wanting to turn around and approach her (overzealously), I was able to redirect him to walking over and over (and over) again until he finally wasn't quite as adamant about it. Incidentally, he walks very well when it's just the two of us. He is really starting to respect my and my husband's authority.
Also, we left them both in the house twice (her in a cage, him free), for several hours and there was no incident (we came home and peaked through the window and saw them both sleeping). The GSD did not mess up anything in the house (other than knocking the pillows off the couch, but if that's the worst of it, I'm fine with that).
Overall, I'm feeling better about the whole thing and not afraid (though still wise and cautious) about him attacking her. I am getting to know him and sense that he is a very sweet natured dog, though he may never be great around small dogs he doesn't know. As long as we can get him to integrate with the little one in our pack, I'll be happy with that as a fine start to his life with us. We can fine tune later.
Thanks to everyone for your input - I read all the threads and articles and will take the advice to heart.
Licking behavior is definitely not prey drive. He's likely curious about this new member of his family. To me their interactions read as peaceful, although you are correct in keeping interactions short because they can escalate when one or more of the dogs is tense or over-aroused. After you've had him for several months it will probably become really obvious what their relationship will be like.
Our behaviorist gave us a great tip about recognizing predatory behavior: predators don't waste any energy. They don't mess around. They move in a way that minimizes the amount of effort they expend and the amount of noise/warning they make. So if there is a lot of bouncy, silly behavior then it is play not prey.
I have a dog that exhibits prey drive towards small dogs, but she lives peacefully with our cat. To me, the behavior you describe seems very similar to how she interacts with our cat, which has been very safe. She will sometimes stare at the cat and bound towards her, but it's obvious she isn't moving as fast as she could be. We just don't leave them alone outside together and they are fine. However, it has been crucial to watch them closely and give them time apart if they get in a tiff. The dog resource guards sometimes and the cat will occasionally be a jerk and "attack" the dog. So try not to worry too much and if a situation doesn't seem safe to you, just separate them for a while.
That first thread in post # 8 helps you build a bond with the new dog. That bond is very important to make it clear to him what the house rules are! Very important right now he's just gone from a small kennel to a larger one, the four walls of your house.
The other stuff helps with training and staying away from other dogs helps avoid "issues" that he can bring home and unleash on a house mate!
Two or More Dogs
No free for all with the front door! Which dog goes out the door first is very important to the dogs! A member here pointed that out, I think that was "my" problem..I kinda did a release and it was every dog for himself...that did not work out to well in the long run!
More questions just ask.
|Thanks for the input. I will definitely have to see how it goes over the next few days/weeks. I hate the thought of NEVER being able to leave them alone together. Maybe my expectations/wishes are too high after our last big dog, but he kind of babysat her for us. In the cooler months, we could take them both in the car when we went places, windows rolled down, and we would not be worried about her being stolen. Plus, when we leave the house, we'd like him to eventually have free reign so he can guard the house (one of the great side benefits of having a large dog). I guess it is what it is, for now anyway.
Hi welcome KatM ! So I too have a chiuahua and a 80+ lb, 8+ month old GSD, Jake. They play together and hang out. Sometimes I have to remind Jake to be "easy", which is why I taught him bite inhibition (not to mention, it helped with his "land shark" puppy phase) My mom's friend's chiuahua had a leg snapped while playing with a big dog. Our shihtzu, Toby is still intact. (But not for long), he's starting to challenge Jake, since Jake is maturing. Jake mostly avoids Toby when he's acting like a Billy-Butthead. Sometimes the body language is very suttle, But it's there. And I'm here to redirect and put a stop to it. Toby will be visiting the vet ASAP to get snipped. I'd like to keep Jake intact for at least a few years til he's done growing. The dogs are all under constant supervision while I'm home. So no, I would NEVER leave Jake alone with any of our dogs. It's too easy for him to pop their little heads with one bite. Be it accidentally or deliberately .
Maybe let them just get to know each other slowly, on their terms. If it seems aggressive, stop them. Seperate for a bit. The licking is probably submissive behavior. Just don't leave them alone while they're getting to know each other, even for a few minutes. Sometimes it just takes time for them to get used to each other. But you definitely don't want him chasing her, since they are a high prey drive breed.
Maybe there's a behaviorist out there that can give you more specific information. I'm just going off experience with my dogs.
It's not prey drive. Dogs will very rarely enter prey drive towards another dog...
If the small dog squeals and starts to run, you might see the larger dog enter prey mode. But otherwise, he has probably not been taught how to meet other dogs the right way...or at least the way you want him to meet other dogs.
Both dogs are going to need some time to feel each other out. YOU need to set their boundaries right now and not let it go too far. I'd be careful about holding the small dog in front of the large dog...it can lead to issues. Let them be on "equal footing" so to say. I wouldn't let either one do anything the other one isn't allowed to do. And maybe for a few weeks, limit both of their freedoms so that they understand who is really in charge. So...don't allow either one on the couch and things of that nature.
Of course, do not allow the larger dog to do anything to scare or possibly hurt the little dog. But you should really watch the larger dog for signs that the little one might be the one instigating...
|The more I read, the more I think this is prey drive, which is bad news for us. Do I give up before disaster strikes or is there hope? I would like for them to get along, of course. Otherwise, there's little point in having two (though each has its own good points). I thought perhaps a new pack member would help us all, but now I'm not sure. Then again, it's been less than 24 hours, so I'm probably being a bit neurotic. Oh, what to do...
Input on New GSD's behavior toward small dog
Hi - I'm a newbie so please forgive any etiquette faux pas or ignorance on my part. I wanted to get people's input on our situation.
We have an 8 pound chihuahua yorkie mix. We also HAD a large shepherd/lab mix. They were great friends and she considered him her protector, I think. They were totally safe and happy alone together, though I realize that every dog is different and I'm not making any assumptions with the new one. She really loved that dog. Only him, though. She barks at other dogs and shows what I assume is fear aggression toward them. Sadly, we had to put the big one to sleep a couple of months ago.
Yesterday, we adopted a 3 year old GSD from the pound. He's been at the pound for over a month with not much exercise - he had a broken toe (still healing, though he's not limping), and just got neutered yesterday, so major exercise is not in his very near future, unfortunately. He's very sweet to people, and fairly nice to the little one, but he seems overly interested in our little dog at times. It makes me nervous. Of course, I will use extreme caution, not leave them alone, etc, but I'm wondering if someone here can give me insight into his behavior.
Specifically, when the little one is in our arms or on the couch next to us, he still wants to see/meet her, but he's not really hyper about it (by the way, he's a bit hyper in general and I don't blame him for his lack of exercise). To my great surprise, last night, my little one approached the big one (who we've had on leash in the house), and kissed his nose. He licked her face as well. I have let him approach her a couple of times and though she's scared, it leads to them licking each other's faces briefly. I try to keep it short at this point because his energy is too strong and I don't trust it. When she is on the ground or generally loose in the house, he really wants "at her" and I can't tell if it's play or prey. When he's too aggressive like that, she nips at him (unsuccessfully, no harm done except the unpleasantness of the encounter).
We've had long periods of peace and coexistence, where they're both sleeping (GSD on his bed on the floor and little one on the couch). It's just that when they do interact, the intent is unclear.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

'Ruff revealed the leg gash suffered by Jason Pominville in Game Five was serious, and that a tendon had been sliced. The winger needs surgery and the injury would have kept him sidelined 4-6 months had the injury happened during the regular season. Ruff also said center Tim Connolly would have been out six weeks with an undisclosed injury after taking Mike Richards' hit Sunday.'
Serious injuries would have carried over to next round

Recent ruling by the Attorney General
I want to share parts of a couple of e-mails I received recently from a friend in the ATV community. I will post more information as it becomes available, but this is not good news for our ATV friends. Please pardon the cut and paste approach, but he said it better than I could:
"5-2-06 4:16 p.m.
Attorney General Makes Ruling
Received a phone call from Representative Sheltrowns office today, informing us that the Attorney General had made a ruling that no ORVs may be operated on a county road unless, as I understand it, on an access route being part of the trail system.
Expect more details as they become available and options open to the ORV community."
And a follow-up this morning:
"RE: AGs RULING
Disappointed in the ruling, but view it as an opportunity to fix things long past due.
We have seen the monkey business with the ORV Safety program, gonna do this and gonna do that and little happens.
We have seen legislation passed a decade ago that would give us a riding area in southern Michigan, didnt happen.
We have seen the ORV Draft plan drag on and on, has no real mention of doing anything about a riding area in southern Michigan.
We have seen our sports experience tremendous growth in the past 5 years, with opportunity for additional recreation and economic benefit, that gets shot in the foot. Zero mention in the draft plan about economic benefit or mention of any economic study.
We have seen the DNR come to public meetings and plain lie about facts.
We are seeing more and more clear cutting in northern Michigan, but we as ORV folks are said to be doing great damage to the forest.
We can hear story after story of bias action towards ORV people by COs. The craziest is unloading your ATV on the frozen shore of a lake and getting a citation.
The next few days, weeks and months are going to very interesting! It is election year for every member of the House, and I believe, all in the Senate. There are over 250,000 of us, more than the UAW had in its heyday.
We are all going to have to ask ourselves how hard we want to work."
GLFWDA has been working on a questionnaire to be sent to our gubenatorial candidates asking their position on ORV and land use issues. It can easily be adapted for elections at the State Senate and House levels as well. I believe the letter is posted on the GLFWDA web site, but if you want it and can't get it, send me a PM.

|What are your times at a dragstrip right now ?
|chris oswalt
|you know i thought so to but i also have 600 lift springs. and yes i do have screw in studs. along time ago i made the mistake and didnt buy them and f**ked everything up so i always put them know. should i get a good stud girdle for extra protection. i already replaced the studs before i put the heads on and the old ones were bent (after i bought the heads). It runs so good that i realy hate to start it for fear that it will break. I had one pushrod break already, it broke and fell down into the cam jurnel and broke the cam in to. I had to pull it out and look at all the bearings and see if they were ok, and yes i was trying it out. and now i am running it on race gas, braking it in. I had pump gas in it last and i think it was pinging alot (you see i didnt have mufflers or pipes or anything to tell whether it was or not. but now i have some pipes on it and getting mufflers so i can here it.
|Mat Boardway
Do those camel humps head you have screw in studs. Seems odd that you have to adjust them so much.
|chris oswalt
well all i have to do is get 1 or 2 time slips to see how fast it go's.
then improve on it. do i need better heads and more compression for the cam. they recomend at least 11 to 1 but i dont have that, they said it would probley work ok. as long as its got good power and it has vary good power,and rev's vary quick Iwas thinking about some bad a** pistons and angle milled
dart 2. how do i keep the rockers from needing ajusted every few days ( trying it out and tuning it up) as it is i will be ajusting valves between rounds.
thanks everyone
|as said, steet racing...bad bad boy! keep it on the track, and with that setup, (spool, ect.) the street isn't a reallygreat place to be. also, ditto on the t-5. it will grenade the first hard run you slam through it with any reasonable HP.
|Super Streeter
|I am betting that the Mini Spool is there because he it trying to push 450hp thru his stock 7.5" camaro rear end.I cant blame him since the next step up will cost him more then his entire engine did,and about twice what the value of the bare car body is.{I am talking about a $2500 9" rear}
11's are not as easy as some people think.
I think a tunnel ram with 2 450's would work well for your application (I know others disagree)...just my thoughts as the steep gear ratio and manual trans would compiment the fuel distribution.
Dump as much weight off the car as possible. Since it's a "limited" street use vehicle, creature comforts ar not as important.
|chris oswalt
|i forgot i have a water pump drive kit and full race rockers that were way to much $. what i want is some world heads or darts that are angle milled severly and i am thinking on a super victor and a holley 1050. but i have a 750 with all the trimings but the thing was used and it is broke. i need the center section and flaps. mabe i will make it a 850. my cam is a solid lift cam and starts at 4000 and go's till 7500rpm i have cast pistons now but all i want is 1 time slip before winter so i can put twice the s**t in it. I had another with 456s and a comp cam 525 solid and it was a 12 flat car power pacs and a 4000 stall man was it wicked to drive. I know it dont sound like much but i have the paper to show you. so i thought it would be smart to have duble everything and smoke that car. should i put a solid roller in it, one of my friends put a michanical lifter 600lift cam in his and with darts ran high 11s. but that was with a th350 and a 3500 stall. what do you think i need for 11s then nos to get to the 10s. should i put 12.5 pistons and the heads.
|if the camaro t5s are similar to the mustang ones youll be in trouble the mustang t5s are WEAK even naturaly aspirated
|Future broken part #1- you are still running the stock tranny. If you plan on pushing low 11s, you will destroy that real quick, especially with N2O.
|Mat Boardway
|I had a very close setup a couple years ago. Instead of the fuelie heads I had dart Iron eagle w/ 200cc runners. Traction was a problem and it did 12.92. My biggest problem was the stock 5spd tranny. I couldn't keep a tranny alive for more than a month. You might want to add a Richmond tranny into the list of things to get.
You are close on your set-up. The carb is wrong. I would agree on it needing a 750 dp. and no way would i run a 2x4 set up.
The spool is fine. But i hope you know never, and i mean never drive it in the rain. If your out with the car and the roads are wet park it until they dry.. I have a few customer running spools on the street with no problems.....And it goes with out saying they are limited drive cars......
I don't think it will run low 11's on motor with the combo you have now. There is a lot more to getting a car in that et range then just motor. If you have a prover car that was raced and the suspension is all worked out then you can start looking at good et's.
As a side bar here i sold a engine that went 11.95's all day in my car. The guy put it in a car that was 250/300 lbs lighter then my car. The first time at the track it went 15.50.... He had something wrong with the ignition or carb set up... Just telling you so you don't think you just hop into a unproven car and get good et's..It will take some work.
Need some more info on your parts before i can give you a good answer on the nitrous question..
killerformula is 100 % on that there is no street racing here. Take it to the track. That is what they are there for. It not worth the chance of hurting or killing an innocent person for bragging rights!!!!
we don't do street races here at HR.com
|You could get away with a 75-100 shot as long as you do it smart. Get a timing retard kit, run premium gasoline, and use a throttle activation switch so it only activates at WOT.
lose the spool, get a 750 holley double pumper, some full roller rockers and poly locks. u should have a kick *** street setup compression should be adequite.
i ran a 292comp 500lift with CH heads 202 with a 750 holley and perf rpm 373s 4speed it was a blast
whatever u do..... dont waste yer money on dual 4barrells
your car is on the heavy side and you have most of a good setup a few little changes and u will be rockin!!!
oh and the nos........
what pistons u runnin????
forged reccomended
hyperutectiuc,,,,,,maybe i wouldnt
cast......hell no

academic year: Use the full year when referring to the academic year, i.e. 2000-2001. The abbreviations '00, '02 or '03 are acceptable on second reference. Do not capitalize fall, winter, spring or summer when referring to semesters. (Also see seasons.)
academic degrees: In general, use master's degree or bachelor's degree (note apostrophes). AP also notes that with Ph.D.s, the preferred form is to say that a person holds a doctorate followed by the specialty. Lowercase all specific degrees, i.e. bachelor of arts or bachelor of science, but capitalize those containing a proper noun or adjective, i.e., bachelor's degree in English. Use B.A., B.S., M.A., M.S., Ph.D., M.B.A. with no space after the first period when abbreviating. The plural of Ph.D. is Ph.D.s. Do not add the word "degree" after an abbreviation.
Incorrect: He received his B.A. degree in biology. Correct: He received his B.A. in biology.
When in doubt about the proper degree abbreviation, consult Webster's New World Dictionary and use the first reference. It is highly suggested that abbreviations not be used. Wittenberg currently offers a bachelor of arts, bachelor of fine arts, bachelor of music, bachelor of music education, bachelor of science and master of art in education.
academic departments: Lowercase all except those with proper nouns or adjectives: the department of music, the department of history, the department of chemistry, the department of English. Spell out the official department name on the first reference. The chemistry department, the English department, etc. are acceptable on second reference. (See offices.)
acronyms: In general, first spell out the name of the organization and then place the acronym immediately after it in parentheses. Do not use periods in the acronym unless an organization specifically calls for them.
administrative titles: Capitalize and spell out all titles when they precede a name. Examples include: Provost Chris Duncan and Board of Directors Chairman David Boyle. Lowercase all titles when they follow a name, e.g. Chris Duncan, provost, or Cindy Beacom, executive assistant. (See courtesy titles.) Do not use chairperson unless it's the formal title for a particular office. (See chair.)
address: The official university address is Wittenberg University, Ward Street at North Wittenberg Avenue, Post Office Box 720, Springfield, OH 45501-0720. Other addresses are used for delivery purposes. The street address for central receiving, for example, is 225 N. Fountain Ave., Springfield, OH 45504. The street address for the Benham-Pence Student Center is 734 Woodlawn Ave., Springfield, OH 45504. However, if sending a student mail, address it to the student and include his/her box number, followed by the service center box number, P.O. Box 6100, Springfield, OH 45501-6100. (See street addresses.)
Admission Office: Note the lack of an "s" in Admission and the capitalization. Use Office of Admission on first reference. (See offices.)
adviser/advisor: Although the Associated Press uses adviser, the university editor prefers advisor.
affect/effect: To affect something means "to influence or produce a change," e.g. His poem affected me greatly. Avoid using affect as a noun. Effect as a noun means the result, e.g. The experiment did not create the effect he wanted. As a verb, effect means "to cause or accomplish," e.g. The lawyers hope to effect a compromise.
African American: The Associated Press states that the preferred term is black (lowercase). According to AP, the term African-American (with a hyphen) should be used only in a direct quotation or when part of an official name. Do not hyphenate the term, however, unless part of an official name.
afterward: Note the absence of an "s" at the end.
ages: Always use figures except at the beginning of a sentence. Examples include: a 6-year-old boy; the boy is 6 years old; Six-year-old David walked home.
Albright Tennis Complex: Located to the west of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Center between Bill Edwards Drive and McCreight Avenue, the complex has 12 courts, 8 of which are lighted. The courts also have Dynaflex surfaces. David B. Albright was chair of the Wittenberg Board of Directors, and the Albrights both graduated in 1940. Use David B. and Georgiana S. Albright Tennis Complex on first reference. Albright Tennis Complex is acceptable on subsequent references.
All-America, All-American: Use All-America when describing a team, e.g. the All-America football team. Use All-American when describing an individual, e.g. She was an All-American. All-Conference and All-NCAC should follow the same pattern.
alma mater: Lowercase unless it refers to a formal title. For example, Wittenberg is my alma mater, but Alma Mater Jennifer Smith spoke at the event. Alma Mater should also be capitalized and put in quotations when it refers to the college's song.
alumni: Use when referring to a group of both men and women. Use alumna when referring to a single female; alumnus when referring to a single male; alumni when referring to a group of men, and alumnae when referring to a group of women. Alumnae who have married should be listed with their maiden and married names (Julie Smith Stevens). Wittenberg has more than 32,000 living alumni. Avoid using the combination alumni/ae. Also avoid using the term "alum" unless the person is of unspecified gender.
alumni association: Organization to which all alumni immediately belong upon graduation. The official name is the Wittenberg University Alumni Association, and when used in this manner, it should be capitalized. Lowercase otherwise.
alumni board: This is the governing board of the alumni association. The official name is the Wittenberg University Alumni Board, and it should be capitalized when used in full. Lowercase otherwise.
Alumni Hollow: The green space on the northwest corner of Alumni Way and Ward Street where Hanley and South Halls once stood.
Alumni Way: Dedicated during Homecoming 2004, the former Woodlawn Avenue between Ward Street and Cassily Street is now a brick plaza where past, present and future alumni, faculty and friends of Wittenberg are recognized with honorary bricks bearing their names.
a.m./p.m.: Lowercase in all situations. (See time, date, place.)
assistant and associate: Do not abbreviate in a formal title.
athletics director: Do not use athletic director. Wittenberg has a director of athletics, but athletics director is acceptable on second reference. (Also see administrative titles.)
Audio-Visual Services: It should be capitalized and hyphenated when used.
auditoriums: Wittenberg is home to Bayley Auditorium in Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center and Kissell Auditorium in Koch Hall. (See Bayley Auditorium, Kissell Auditorium.)
avenue: Abbreviate with numbered addresses, e.g. 123 College Ave. (See street addresses.)
baccalaureate: Note spelling and capitalize if a formal function, e.g. Baccalaureate Service.
Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center: Dedicated in 2003 the state of the art academic building is located along Bill Edwards Drive. Kuss Science Center is home to the departments of biology, chemistry, environmental studies, geology, mathematics and computer science and physics. It also houses Bayley Auditorium.
Bayley Alumni House: This is the official name of the building formerly known as the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house, and it should not be confused with the Office of Alumni Relations. The center houses the Offices of Alumni Relations and Advancement. Capitalize Office of Alumni Relations and Office of Advancement, and consult the Campus Telephone Directory for other individual departments within the Bayley Alumni House. It was named after Robert '39 and Ruth K. Bayley '42 of Springfield in May 2001. (See offices.)
Bayley Auditorium: Located in the Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center, this 148-seat modern classroom is also the site of various lectures and presentations.
because/since: Because and since are both subordinate conjunctions. However, since should only be used when a time element is involved, e.g. Wittenberg has been around since 1845. It should not be used in the following manner: Since the house was on fire, we did not drive down the street. The correct replacement for since in this instance is because.
Benham-Pence Student Center: This is the official title of the student center. Named for Pauline Pence in honor of her husband and parents, it is home to the Bookstore, Post 95, Corner Store, Center Dining Room (CDR), facilities scheduling, Games Room, meeting rooms, Wally's, Service Center, Student Activities, student bank and student mailboxes.
Benjamin Prince House: Traditionally the president's home, the house is located on N. Wittenberg Avenue. Named for the late professor and vice president of Wittenberg, it is the home of President Laurie M. Joyner and her family.
Blair Hall: Dedicated in 1927 and located at 2 E. Campus Drive, Blair Hall is home to the department of education. A complete restoration took place in 2009-2010, and today's students enjoy learning spaces that inspire creativity and innovation and classrooms infused with high-tech features. The building earned Clark County's first-ever Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold recognition.
Bill Edwards Field/Betty Doughman Dillahunt Softball Field: (See Edwards/Dillahunt.)
board of directors: Wittenberg University has a board of directors, not a board of trustees. The official name is the Board of Directors of Wittenberg College, but Wittenberg Board of Directors is sufficient. Capitalize only when using the formal name. Otherwise, lowercase board of directors. Board members are appointed for 3-year individual terms, but their tenures cannot exceed 12 years.
books: Italicize all book titles, but use quotations for specific chapters. (See titles).
building names (see individual buildings listed alphabetically, and also see academic buildings, residence halls and Greek houses): Wittenberg has more than 25 buildings that blend traditional European classicism and contemporary architecture. Use the accompanying abbreviation on second reference.

The organ in the chapel is a three-manual instrument with 52 ranks of pipes. The Offices of University Pastors and Church Relations are housed here, and the stained glass windows were designed by Oliver Smith of Bryn Athyn, Penn.

Hi guys!
I'm running around like a blue-arsed fly right now, but I managed to spend 5 minutes to have a think about my armour.
I was never going to make my own, but I saw a flight suit really cheap and bought it on a whim.
I know I have to get my helmets sorted first, but here is one of my ideas for a unique Mando.
It's based on the heavy pulse cannon from Aliens, so the back back has an arm mount to support the weight of the cannon.
I've tried to get a bronzed colour as I intend to cold cast in bronze.
Let me know what you think, any ideas etc :)

LA County Sheriff's Deputies Kill Innocent Man
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says deputies made a deadly mistake when they shot a man during a West Hollywood hostage situation.
Thirty-year-old John Winkler died at a hospital Monday night.
A sheriff's statement Thursday says Winkler was visiting an apartment when he and two other men were taken hostage at knifepoint by Alexander McDonald.
Authorities say McDonald began stabbing the men in a rage, including his roommate.
Arriving deputies say a blood-covered man with a neck wound rushed out of the apartment followed by Winkler, who appeared to be lunging at him, and the deputies opened fire.
The stabbing victim was shot in the leg. He's in stable condition. A second stabbing victim was treated and released.
McDonald is charged with murder and attempted murder. He remains jailed.

Hi everyone,
My name is Miyuki.
I have a question about grammar.
I posted the following sentence on a Japanese social networking service, and it was actually harshly criticized saying even my English use was "weird." It is true I still have some learner language and typos, but I did not know what was so bad. It's been one year since I came back to Japan, and I got so anxious and intimidated from the comment.
"One of my pedagogical grammar professors says that we should use the English metalinguistic terms only when we really need. For example, we could only use part of speech even when we explain complex sentence structures."
I fixed "part of speech" to "parts of speech." I thought "pedagogical grammar professor" could have been "a professor in pedagogical grammar", but the previous one is also fine in spoken/informal language. Also, they say I should have put an object after "need." But I thought I did not have to put one, since it may make the sentence lengthy.
What do you think about?
Thank you,

Complete novice 15 gallon
3 Attachment(s)
I started this tank before I really read anything about keeping a planted tank, all I knew was that I wanted plants "because they are good"
Its a small scale guppy and shrimp breeding tank, the guppies are donated to a LFS and I sell the shrimp myself. Its been up and running since mid august, seeded with the rocks, filter and decorations from an old 30 litre tank. so shows this is tracking the starting point, to how its looking right now.
I have no idea what the large plant in the centre is, as it was donated by a friend, all I know its its quite a popular snack with the guppies.
I don't use Co2 as I have no space to run it, and Im only just starting to look into fertilisers. Has anyone got any advice as to how to get this looking really good, or just comments on what Im doing right/wrong.
I know there are a few other fish (minnow, a platty, black skirt) but I am providing them a temporary home for a friend that is the process of moving house
The tank looks pretty good so far. Sorry can't comment on ferts or anything never have used any before.
Thank you, don't worry about the ferts, I've been reading most of the afternoon at work and still feel none the wiser.

After staring a the tank long enough I decided that I needed more greenery. The big plant (I have no idea what it was but the guppies thought it was delicious) came out, and was replaced by rocks and I went a little nuts with the planting. Since I'm not 100% on what I'm doing I took a scatter gun approach of sticking a load of stuff in there and seeing what sticks.
I still have the temporary lodgers who seem to have settled in nicely, and the shrimp are waiting to go back in, as I moved them to the 30 liter while I was planting, and I have found that they can get a bit stressed when I move things around.
I trimmed back the weeping moss from the cave as I needed some for the bowl Im putting together, and it seems to be growing really quickly in this tank so I figured it would regrow well enough.
Still need a background for it but I made the mistake of telling my wife she could pick one, which means that it may be well into next year before she finds one she is happy with.

Mick Jagger love letters fetch $300,000 at auction
LONDON (Reuters) - A collection of love letters written by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger to American singer Marsha Hunt, believed to be the inspiration for the band's hit single "Brown Sugar", sold at Sotheby's on Wednesday for 187,250 pounds ($301,000).
The 10 letters, dating from the summer of 1969, had been expected to fetch 70-100,000 pounds, according to the auctioneer.
"The passage of time has given these letters a place in our cultural history," Hunt said after the London sale.
"1969 saw the ebbing of a crucial, revolutionary era, highly influenced by such artists as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, James Brown and Bob Dylan.
"Their inner thoughts should not be the property of only their families, but the public at large, to reveal who these influential artists were - not as commercial images, but their private selves."
Hunt, with whom Jagger had his first child, Karis, told Britain's Guardian newspaper last month that she was selling the letters, written in July and August 1969, because she had been unable to pay her bills.
"I'm broke," Hunt, who lives in France, told the newspaper.
Jagger wrote them to Hunt while filming the Tony Richardson movie "Ned Kelly" in Australia.
They showed a sensitive side of the then-young singer, who wrote about the poetry of Emily Dickinson, meeting author Christopher Isherwood and an unrealized multimedia project. Continued...

and breeding millions of Varroa mites every year..
But don't count on total control of the Varroa until you're seeing 4.9mm or below in the center of the brood nest. You will probably have to feed some more frames into the center over the next couple of years before you get there.
I want to use start strips (cut from small cell foundation) until I can get the bees regressed to 4.9mm. I saw in a post in Bee-commerce, that a wedge shoud be cut on the top bar when doing foundationless frames. Is this something that has to be done? What are the advantages of doing this? I was just planning on putting the strips in the wedge frames. If it is very important to do the wedge thing, how exactly is that done? Any pictures to use as an example?

Like all the structures Peter the Great built, his new capital city was the triumph of will over nature and reason: Far from the center of the Russian empire, from any crossroads of trade, built on a fever-infested swamp intersected by unbridgeable rivers, with undrinkable water and the foulest climate in Europe, arose one of the world's most phantasmagorically beautiful cities, a crucible of political might and cultural prodigality. Today, despite the destruction wrought by Hitler's armies, St. Petersburg is still the best preserved of living cities: far from anywhere, nearly two hundred miles from Helsinki, four hundred from Moscow, on watery gravel which makes modern high-rise building nigh impossible, it cannot be ruined by development.
The best approach to the city—this phenomenon of exuberant Italian architecture in austere Nordic wastes of lakes, pines, and rocks, is by sea, from spring to autumn when the ferries run from Finland. The most comfortable is by rail: Russia's high-speed trains take you from Moscow or, starting in 2009, Helsinki right into the city center. When you are settled in a room of your own, walk the length of the main thoroughfare, Nevsky Prospekt, and explore the side streets for half a mile either side—this is still a city for pedestrians. You can follow step by step Dostoyevsky's heroes, walking with Raskolnikov, axe under his coat, as he goes to murder the old pawnbroker, or perambulating with the Idiot as he frantically roams the city. The buildings, distances, even the stairs, are exactly as Dostoyevsky described them 150 years ago.
For more aristocratic contemplation, ride the canals that intersect the main part of the city. Take the smallest boat on offer, since it can negotiate the narrowest canals that weave past the palazzi of the merchants and noblemen whom Peter the Great forced to migrate here. Like Venice's palaces, Petersburg's too are decaying, but in the crepuscular northern cold the process seems gentler.
The beauty of St. Petersburg, like the politeness of its middle-aged and elderly inhabitants, is not just the result of cultural pride. Like most striking beauty, it is born of appalling suffering, stoically endured. Within the oldest inhabitants' memory, Petersburg (as Leningrad) endured Stalin's Great Purge of the 1930s: many Old Bolsheviks (men, often professionals, usually in their 30s) were arrested, tortured, and shot. Then the Nazi blockade from 1941 to 1944 killed three quarters of a million. The city has been, politically, a ghost town ever since 1918, when the Bolsheviks removed power back to Moscow, and even now, when it attracts investment (it is, after all, a port, a window on Europe), St. Petersburg has the sad dignity of a dowager empress, her power ceded to an uglier, more vulgar rival.
DONALD RAYFIELD, professor of Russian and Georgian at the University of London, is the author of several books, including Stalin and His Hangmen (2004), Anton Chekhov: A Life (1997), and Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and the Wood Demon (2007).

Hi all,
Though I have worked in China and negotiating now to go back I never had airfare reimbursement else then a flat fee. They paid me a fixed amount regardless of my cost, and never saw any receipt or ticket. Not dumb blind, they knew through my passport that I flew over.
My question is : How to handle the situation with an e-ticket without receipt or red stamp ( supposedly required in China) to get your reimbursement. Would it not be better to insist on a flat fee?

text: Kulinicheva's interview with Mozer for sport-express.ru `Volosozhar/trankov are far from their peak' EK: Many are worried after all those world best records by Volosozhar/Trankov this season that perhaps they peaked too early. NM: We are not on our top yet. Neither functionally nor mentally. Not even nearly. Their great skating in Skate America is not surprising though. It's a middle of October, they still have 3 months left before their main competition. EK: Was the GP start more full of nerves taking it's an Olympic season? NM: Not at all. Just a normal working mood. Perhaps even a bit calmer than before. That's about Tanya and Maksim. As far as Ksenia and Fedor go - that was harder. We haven't been working together for long enough, so we don't know yet how to help them exactly what to say when. We are still to gain the experience we already have with Tanya and Maksim after years of working together. EK: Skating to JCSS was Maksim's long time dream. Were you wary? NM: Frankly, yes. I had my cons. But in the end their will was more important. They are an adult athletes and they know what they want. You should had seen their faces and eyes when we walked out after the show in Broadway! It was the main argument for me. We all understand quite well in our current status no matter which music they would choose, what would they wear - it will be talked about. Some will like it, some will not. It will not be left unnoticed. But we don't aim to please everyone. We decided not to take chances in the Olympic season. I hope we made the right decision. EK: How big was the temptation to use a Russian music in the home Olympics? NM: It was there. For me mainly. Sochi will be a triumph of the Russian music: Tchaikovski, Rakhmaninov, `Katuisha', `Swan Lake', `Carmen'. And there we are - a Russian pair with an American musicale. Maksim joked in one of the press conferences we went even further: we will be skating to Khachaturian in Sochi. EK: Speaking of which, how did you come up with that music for the Olympic SP? NM: We had much more ideas than time left. Actually there are so many ideas left that I'd love to implement with Tanya and Maksim. That is should they stay after Sochi. As for the SP - that was much harder than the LP. Everything the guys offered I was not convinced for various reasons. The same with Kolia Morozov's offers. And then once Maksim came to the ice and just put the `Masquarade'. They started skating and I got goosebumps. They were so much in harmony! Stas (Morozov) agreed: this is exactly what they need. From there on working on the programme was quite fast. EK: When Volosozhar/Trankov just paired you probably thought how will the Olympic season go on. Do things happen as you imagined so far? NM: It's not something you can get ready for just as you can't be ready for a happiness or a tragedy that happen in life. I'm an optimist in general. There is so much negativity, darkness and bad things around us. When you turn the TV on it looks like a horror movie rather than news. I try to see the half full glass all the time. That is what I teach the guys, how I set them on. EK: Not only their programmes are discussed in length, but also their costumes and, say, every thing Trankov writes in his twitter. Were you ready for that? NM: We got used. It is weird at first, but then you start taking it forgranted. Maksim is a very interdependent man. Many times he says very right things. Like when everyone said the death theme must be shown in the `Masquarade'. We insisted on our own. Our theme is a glimpse of a happiness, when people first meet, fall in love and dance. It's the same with everything: the yellow trousers, the hair style, other things. My friends laugh they can find out every tiny detail about us on the internet: how the guys were dressed, how many times they sneezed. We want to have something left in private. Sometimes people don't care about it and try to dig into our lives. So we have to be careful - some things might be misunderstood. It's much harder for the guys, of course. EK: Do you mind when on the Internet your pupils are blamed having a mega star behaviour? NM: I repeated it many times and will repeat again: Tanya and Maksim are hard workers. They remained as unstoppable as they used to be. Everything they say in the interviews is exactly what they mean. Unfortunately people are looking for 2nd meaning, for example in Maksim's words. They don't behave as stars. It's peoples imagination. I keep hearing the same about myself as well. If it happens it must be the lack of time - I can't give enough attention to everyone. We set a goal and we aim to get there. We have to sacrifice a lot for that goal. This season the group became bigger, so there is much more work to do. We hardly ever come home. EK: I understand it that you want Volosozhar/Trankov to keep skating after Sochi2014. NM: Yes. It's a contradiction. But there are things that will be mindblowing should they skate them, EK: Did you have that conversation with Tatiana and Maksim? NM: Of course. Sochi is nearer and nearer and the thought `what next' creeps in more often. The guys didn't have enough time together. Maksim is joking there are still several Grand Prix they never participated. But our sport becomes more and more demanding, while they are not getting any younger. They say should they have enough left and be healthy they will skate some more. Perhaps a year or two. Who knows. But I can tell they are sincere in their will to stay. When looking at such skaters as Savchenko/Szelkowy or Pang/Tong who are older than Tanya and Maksim you realize another Olympic cycle is possible. But a lot will depend on how the rules change, who will be ruling the Russian sports.. EK: What about the team event in Sochi? NM: We will participate it. I think it'll be for a good : they will have a chance to get rid of the first wave of the emotions that such a competition always comes with. Besides it's a new and an interesting thing. The only problem might be the timing: thye would have just 2 days before their individual competition. On the other hand it might come as an advantage - might be better than participate the team event and then wait for 10 days for the individual. EK: Tell a bit about the first months of work with Bazarova/Larionov NM: Vera and Yuri have the Russian music this season : `Polovetski dances'. I wanted something new for them. I can't see Yuri as a prince yet, but the theme he was skating to before - that was too much. He spent too much time in the same role. I wanted to see him as a wanderer, a rocker, something else. He lost weight, we changed his hairstyle completely - put it back. He grew a beard and became an American style hunk. He has a certain charisma. I keep telling them: you have to realize what you worth, you must try to be good looking, intelligent and interesting. EK: I heard rumours the first goal was to become healthy. Especially for Vera. NM: That's right. When we had our first talk I told them straight away: I will not be wasting time with you. In order to create a necklace first you tie a knot, otherwise all the beards will fall apart. We went to a lot of specialists. Our general strength coach Vitalii Moskalenko helped a lot. Vera is under a constant observation. I can see how powerful she became. This is what I wanted - not just sleepy romance on the ice. Now their skating is powerful while having very complicated elements. I came up with a lift which no one else does. It's their TM. Something every athlete should have. EK: Bazarova and Larionov are not sharing the ice with Volosozhar/Trankov and Stolbova/Klimov. NM: It was decided at the first place. Everyone must have their time with the coach. When Ksenia and Fedor came to me I told them straight away: you have to understand I have a pair n.1 and I can't be at 2 places at once. You have to wait. I watch them all the time, give advice, make the training plans, but it's Vlad Zhavnirski who coaches them. As for Bazarova/Larionov - now they work with Viktor Kudriavtsev as well. I attend the competitions and I dont' want them to be left alone. We had a training camp in the USA all together and it was very comfortable.

Hall Named Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After scoring the first goal of his college career and helping the Phoenix post a shutout against Detroit, Green Bay freshman Brandon Hall (O'Fallon, Mo.) was recognized for his efforts when he was named the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Starting against the Titans on Saturday, Hall netted the game winner in the 43rd minute on a set piece play. A Detroit handball outside the box set up the opportunity for the Phoenix, with service into the box coming from Audi Jepson (Green Bay, Wis.). After bouncing off several bodies, Hall collected the ball and snuck it past Detroit keeper Nathan Steinwascher for his first career collegiate goal.
Hall also helped the Green Bay defense post its second shutout of the season, holding strong against a late Detroit offensive push to improve the squad to 2-1-1 in the conference and 7-4-3 overall.
This season Hall has appeared in nine matches for the Phoenix with four starts. He has one goal and one assist, with the helper coming in a 4-4 draw against Eastern Illinois earlier this season.
It is the third player of the week honor for the Phoenix after Sabastian Xiong (Cottage Grove, Wis.) and Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) took home offensive honors earlier this season.
The Phoenix returns to action on Saturday, playing a 6 p.m. match under the lights at Wright State.
