|Focus ST EcoBoost Performance (2013-Current) The place to chat about the 2.0L EcoBoost engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
iminhell's running alky, good local source for him.
Tom just doesn't want to do a performance tune for cars that could end up with anything in the tank...
Two different responses depending on circumstances. Neither of those hates it per se, just use it or not depending on availability/consistency.
Here's some current articles I just read:
Car craft June 2014 - Turbo Junkies, they all run E85
Car Craft July 2015 - Horsepower!, page 10-11, 900hp E85 turbo 4.6 Ford
It's in all the good car magazines and on all the good forums. People in FI cars are using E85 if it's available. It's been proven on the ST now that you can make more power with plenty of safety than you can on 93.
Go ahead...Stay slow...
Chemistry has escaped you. Look above my pic ... now find that same thing for Gasoline (or Octane).
Do math, balancing equations.
You'll arrive at an answer that has nothing to do with any volatility or energy. Only a quantity chemical in, quantity chemical out.
... and for some reason that racing kid never did think about that formula under my SN was. I've been on booze for 6? years or so now.
This discussion is still going on? Says in my post and site history I'm a noob, but I did spend enough time in a 500hp supercharged mustang and a 300hp WRX to know that E85, for the most part, has nothing to do with an octane rating. :/
Essentially only 15% of the fuel is actually petrol, the rest is corn juice. The chemical stored volatility in E85 is much less, which is why cars burn through it much faster. there just has to be more fuel as a total to be dumped into the combustion chamber. More fuel + added cooling capacity in the ethanol = more power. The cooling effect (working much like water/meth) is what gives more power, and tuning wise is a whole different ball game. Because of the cooling engine knock (detonation) allows for tuners MUCH more room to drop the AFR down even further in order to make more power. Petrol be damned the car is running mostly on cooler air, alcohol, and a small amount of petrol. That said, the cooling effect does give the overall impression that the octane is higher, when in reality the motor and research octanes of the fuel itself are pretty low. Furthermore, the E85 at the pump is never really an 85/15 or 70/30 even split. I mean over time the two components are just going to separate a little in the well tanks of gas stations. Safest bet is to make your own brew and buy Straight ethanol from a racing fuel supplier and mix it yourself with 93/91 octane and keep an Ethanol analyzer in the car...those aren't cheap however. Any tuner will talk till they are blue in the face that 100 Octane all day long over E85. It's just safer...and probably cheaper as well saving the cost of having to do a Flex Fuel/E85 conversion.
History Lesson: The initial reasoning behind E85 was to combat carbon footprint and too lengthen the worldwide fuel storage. Theoretically speaking of course. The concept was that it was cleaner burning (debatable), and that by using less petrol on fill ups, that would preserve storage en masse. The powers that be could have cared less about our wallets and gas tanks in our grocery-go-getters. That whole theory was blown out of the water when China's economy hit a boon and the car market there exploded, thus, throwing the theory out of the water for prolonging fuel stores. Meh.
As a side note, whomever said that water/meth injection was the best route, needs to have their fingers broke for typing that. One small hiccup at WOT, in a failed servo, tank runs dry, clogged/failed jet/pump, kink in nylon hose, or the stars misaligned and your engine blows. It's a cheaper set up at first, but there are WAAAAY too many instances of engines blowing. And I'm sorry once you hear knock, there is no way to kill the engine fast enough before damage is done. My last tuner/installer punched me in face, or at least he wanted to, for me even suggesting meth (EFI Logics in Bethel, CT).
If a car is not plumped for E85, just be ready for shelling out $$$ for an alcohol safe pump (walbro makes a 416lph set up), o rings, injectors and quite possibly fuel rails/lines. Anything less than a 300lph pump w/E85 is just not enough for making over 280-300whp safely (that's for a boxer motor, not sure for a FWD set up though). I did this conversion...twice. It's not fun and your wife/girlfriend will despise your car, and quite possibly you. But we don't pay attention to those things in this world.
For every one that you know likes it there is one that doesnt
I have been tuning the Focus and other cars for over 30 years and have a steller reputation on tuning both NA and FI
I will go pay 7-8.00 at the track for fuel that I KNOW what the octane is and that it is reliable and will keep my engine safe , safety is the key , performance is second and I never tune on the edge with any octane fuel
So I take it you have never checked the octane , moisture content, specific gravity of the fuel you like so much , that toy you have pictured only shows how much the E mixture is and nothing more that means anything , when you have it checked properly like I have done many times then you will actually know what your talking about as for the pump e fuels, then come back and talk to me
I am not using it in a competition, I give myself plenty of room on the tune, so go pay $ 7 to $8 for race fuel to get a few extra horsepower and you can tune it on the edge. And I monitor my engine all the time! I even use it at the autocross track and so do a lot of others with no problems.
Maybe you ought to learn how to tune it correctly, there are a lot of tuners out here that will disagree with you, I race with them all the time.
So you have no idea of octane , no idea how much knock you have , no idea of water content , your only checking the E rating
I wish you the best
Building a e85 powered hot rod requires special rubber lines , special metal lines , fuel pump , filters , foam in the fuel cells , tune for 25-30 % more fuel so bigger injectors , and I can go on , then a new engine from the unregulated pump e85 because the octane isnt there
Got anything newer ?
It's appropriate to use quotation marks at least when quoting an article.
Don't see any reason to doubt your results or experience, that's not really a factor in the discussion of whether tuning for E85 will work without issues throughout the US.
As far as I can tell, info. from here, other threads, and outside sources shows that E85 isn't consistent in quality or availability throughout the country.
You can safely tune for max. performance from it due to your location it seems, others don't have that option without buying it in drums.
Even tuning for 93 octane won't let you drive anywhere, that availability varies as well. Only plus there is that you can be fairly sure of what you get from the pump, and know without testing when the right fuel isn't available.
E85 can be useful, but until avail. in standardized form everywhere it's limited to use as a "flex-fuel".

Jesse Metcalf Fund 38.068
Fitz Henry Lane grew up near Gloucester, Massachusetts, on the coast north of Boston. He worked as a lithographer in the city before returning to Gloucester about 1847 to paint. RISD's view, long thought to be Little Good Harbor Beach northeast of Gloucester, is now identified as Kettle Cove, Manchester-by-the-Sea, southwest of the town. At left is Coolidge Point with Great Egg Rock beyond; at right is Crow Island and Little Egg Rock. In the distance, two lighthouses identify Baker's Island. Lane's combination of precise drawing and luminous color conveys the reverence for nature that was a constant in nineteenth-century American landscape painting.

By Rob Kelly in Beijing
Abou Diaby says he is full of confidence ahead of the new season after Arsène Wenger praised his "exceptional" talent.
The 26-year-old midfielder struggled with injuries last term and was restricted to just five first-team appearances for Arsenal during a difficult campaign.
However, he has played a full part in pre-season and Wenger said earlier this week that "he is the first player who would be on the France teamsheet in midfield when fit".
"That makes me feel confident - it is always nice to have the confidence of the manager," Diaby told a webchat with Chinese fans hosted by Arsenal.qq.com.
"I'm fit now, I have been training since the beginning of pre-season and also did a rehabilitation session during my holidays - so now I feel great.
"I know that when I am fit, I can be good on the pitch. My main target this season is to be fit and if I am then everything will be good for me."
Wenger has also spoken about how the Arsenal 2012 Tour, presented by Emirates is "crucial" for Diaby in proving his long-term fitness.
"It is definitely important - I need to be fit in order to complete the whole season," he agreed. "It is so important that I stay fit because last season I was injured many times and couldn't play much, so this year is crucial."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Writer/director Travis Fine partners with screenwriter George Arthur Bloom to tell the affecting true life story of a loving gay couple from Los Angeles who in the 1970s waged a valiant fight to adopt a Down syndrome teen abandoned by his drug addicted mother. When struggling singer Rudy (Alan Cumming) went to complain about the loud music blasting from his neighbor's house, the scene he found left him deeply saddened. Marco, an adolescent with Down syndrome, had been left to fend for himself by his absentee mother. Though Family Services quickly takes Marco in, a few days later Rudy finds him wandering aimlessly on the streets. Concerned, he brings Marco home and before long Rudy and his partner Paul (Garret Dillahunt) -- a closeted district attorney -- have become the boy's surrogate parents. For a while everyone is happy, though when Rudy and Paul's sexual orientation is brought into question by the court system, the two men find themselves locked in a protracted legal battle to become the legal guardians of the remarkable boy who showed them both the true joy of what it means to be a parent. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Rick Steves SpecialA Symphonic Journey | Saturday, 8 p.m.
Rick Steves, America's leading authority on European travel, teams up with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra and maestro Michael Miropolsky for a musical journey that begins in the United States, and touches down in seven different European countries. The special, taped at the Edmonds Center for the Arts near Seattle, Wash., celebrates music's power to stir the patriotic soul. Playing musical tour guide, Steves utilizes his extensive knowledge of European history and culture to help set the context for each piece. Then, the orchestra performs a selection of stirring 19th-century anthems by Romantic-era composers, including Grieg, Smetana, Strauss, Berlioz, Elgar, Wagner and Verdi. Each selection honors a particular nationality, while the finale, Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" (Europe's official anthem) pays homage to the continent's motto of "United in Diversity." The music is accompanied by a montage of evocative video images from each country.

EarthcasterSunday | 8 p.m.
EARTHCASTER documents Thomas Sayre?s evolution as an artist, and follows Sayre and his crew as they build two of his signature massive earthen sculptures. Working out of a repurposed warehouse in Raleigh, N.C, the internationally known sculptor and designer has been creating public art installations for decades in sites around the world. From Thailand to Turkey and in a number of U.S. cities -- including Baltimore, Charlotte, Denver, Nashville, Portland, Raleigh, Tucson, and his hometown of Washington, D.C. -- Sayre has been commissioned to reflect the distinctive identity and history of each place. Through a process he calls "earthcasting," Sayre explores the differences between forms made by nature and those made by humans. Using heavy equipment to dig complex molds in the earth, the artist then pours in colored concrete that echoes the hue of the native soil. Once the concrete cures, the sculptures are lifted by crane to stand in bold relief against the sky and landscape. Interviews with colleagues, friends, family members, and everyday citizens who encounter Sayre's work daily, address the value and significance of public art in the chaos of the digital age, and what his work reveals about ourselves, our communities and our planet.

Notice to WEIU Viewers with DirecTV Service
We're reaching out to you today because of an urgent issue that is impacting your ability to view WEIU programs. DirecTV has recently relocated one of its satellite receivers to an AT&T building in Decatur, which was formerly located in Springfield.
Normally, this would not be an issue, as Decatur is still in our market as defined by the FCC. However, WEIU signals do not reach this location in Decatur with the minimum quality required by the DirecTV.
As a result, DirecTV has dropped WEIU from its satellite carriage — and viewers who have previously been able to receive our unique programming like Being Well, City Spotlight, The Paw Report, NewsWatch can now no longer watch these programs at home.
As part of a must-carry agreement, DirecTV is required to fund any expenses we would incur in providing them our signal if this relocation happened before a normal renewal cycle (which it has) ... unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be happening.
This is why we need your help. Please reach out to DirecTV and request that it carries WEIU — let them know how important it is for this channel to come back in your viewing area. Please call DirecTV at 1-855-802-3473 and let them know that WEIU is an educational programming asset in your community and you can't afford to lose it.

are my favourites
The Polar Express
Rudolph the red nose reindeer
are my favourites
My personal favourite is 'A Christmas Story'.
Followed by 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'.
Then 'Garfield's Christmas', 'The Year without a Santa Claus', 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'.
Who am I kidding, I love them all.
Well, except for 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians'.
Bishops Wife is most definitely one of my faves, as is Preacher's Wife.
They relate to Christmas. I love The Bishops Wife. I only saw part of the other
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is the all-time, best Christmas movie. I wore out 2 VHS copies, have 2 DVD copies, the Blu-Ray and even the limited edition soundtrack.
After that it's
* Christmas Story
* Elf
* Deck the Hall's
Of course there are the classics:
* Santa Claus is coming to Town
* Rudolph
* Grinch (old one)
That new Prep and Landing was really cute too.

Hi Everyone,
Just one of my silly questions, several of the statues in the temple I go to are holding a strange shaped object, like a tooth in the right hand.
Does anyone know what it is and what it means please?
Also does anyone know of a web site showing the finger signs and what they mean too please.
Thank you and a happy weekend to everyone.

Saudi Arabia's No.2 mobile company Etihad Etisalat <7020.SE> (Mobily) is in talks to buy a stake in loss-making fixed-line operator Etihad Atheeb <7040.SE>, according to a statement on the kingdom's bourse.
The two firms have entered non-binding talks for a Mobily (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) subsidiary to buy a stake in Atheeb (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), according to the statement, which sets a June 30 deadline to announce "relevant developments".
This did not state what size stake Mobily was seeking or who the potential sellers are.
Bahrain Telecommunications Co
Mobily, a subsidiary of the United Arab Emirates' Etisalat
It signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Atheeb, which operates under the brand name Go, in December to offer fixed-line calls.
Mobily's chief executive Khalid al-Kaf told Reuters in January that this would soon become a formal partnership, with his company becoming a re-seller for Atheeb's estimated 2 million lines.
Atheeb, which a made a net loss of 274.1 million riyals in the financial year ending March 31.
The firm cut its capital to 400 million riyals from 1 billion riyals in 2011 to offset some of its accumulated losses, as per Saudi bourse rules. It then completed a 1.18 billion riyals rights issue the following year.
Mobily, Batelco and Atheeb were not immediately available for comment.

I starting hunting divers and quickly realized there was a better and easier way to do it that did not involve 2 hours of set up. Most threads on here involve dozens of decoys and 4 guys and a huge boat and special stuff.
Here is how I kill divers. Its easy and cheap.
1. Buy decoys to match the ducks you see (I prefer GHG, but be ready to shoot your decoys)
2. Attach heavy duty snap swivels (fishing type) to both ends of the keel (drill hole if needed) with 2-3' of decoy line
3. Attach heavy duty snap swivel to a 5-12' section of decoy line and tie the other end to anchor, go bigger rather than smaller (I prefer pyramid anchors used for saltwater fishing)
4. Cut a 40-60' section of decoy line and again attach the snaps to both ends
5. Find something to use as a main anchor (i use grapple anchors to cut weight in my layout boat)
With this system you can run singles and/or a line that is as long as you want it to be. Divers will fly right to you no matter how many you have. I have had them land on 2 the same as 2 dozen. If you need to adjust the rig, its easy with this system. You can run some backwards, make strings bigger or smaller and move quickly if needed to avoid ice or grass or boat traffic. I tend to float a lolly-pop shaped rig, with me as the center of the candy.
Once put together, you can store in a 12 slot bag (or any really) and then set up is really easy the next time out. Need to adjust? Simple.
Hope this helps somebody. Ask if something is not clear.


text: You might be, There are 2 different trunnions. It's easy to see. Take the cover off the top and remove the spring and bolt. Turn the rifle upside down and insert an AR mag as far as you can in the magwell. Does it fit flush with the mag rail? If so , no machining required. If not, get out the dremel!

Hello all,
As I deepen my sutta studies I think I would find great benefit in investing my time towards learning Pali. I have never spoken, or understood, a secondary language. I see there are resources available in this forum (which I have reviewed and will continue to do), and there is also the online course available through Bhikku Bodhi's teachings (http://www.bodhimonastery.com/bm/progra ... nline.html). Has anybody started learning the language through these lectures? Is it a wise way to start? Any advice on this, or any other way of learning is most welcome. Thank you!

The Political Science and Public Administration Department has three major objectives. First, the department provides students with a traditional liberal arts education. The department's offerings in the university-wide liberal studies program create an awareness and understanding of national and international political processes. Second, the department's professional and pre-professional programs in political science, law, public administration and education facilitate the development of talented and ethical leaders and educators. Third, the department's faculty and students study and assist in the resolution of political and administrative problems in the local community, the Upper Peninsula region and the state.
The department offers majors in political science, public administration and political science/pre-law. Students interested in secondary teaching must apply for admittance to and pursue the professional education emphasis along with a political science major or minor. A political science minor and a public administration minor are available and can be arranged to complement a variety of majors. An interdisciplinary major in secondary education social studies is offered by the department, along with support courses in the international studies major. See the "International Studies" section of this bulletin.
Internships in public administration and law are secured for qualified juniors and seniors. Internships are available at the local, state and national level. Competitive scholarships for student interns in the nation's capital are provided through NMU's Washington Center Internship Program.
- College Republicans
- Young Democrats
- Model United Nations Club
- Political Science Film Forum
- Political Science Symposium
- Student Law Forum
- Student Michigan Education Association
Students majoring in political science/pre-law must maintain an NMU/cumulative grade point average of 2.70 or greater with no grade below a "C" in courses for the major. Students with majors or minors in political science or public administration must not have any grade below a "C" in courses for the major or minor.
Students majoring in secondary education political science or minoring in political science secondary education must maintain a grade point average of 2.70 or greater with no grade below a "C" in the professional education sequence, the major and/or minors and required cognates combined.
When courses within a major or minor are listed as subject to waiver, and the adviser has approved the waiver, the political science elective credit hours required in that block are increased by four.
Liberal Studies: Complete information on the liberal studies requirements and additional graduation requirements, including the health promotion requirement, is in the "Liberal Studies Program and Graduation Requirements" section of this bulletin.
Courses within each major that can be used to satisfy liberal studies requirements are listed with the Roman numeral (in brackets) that coincides with the liberal studies division the course falls under.
- Political Science Major

Unless you live in one of these towns, the odds are your fellow league members will never see these sleepers coming. You can relax, build that solid base, then snatch some or all of these "no names" in the later rounds and start thinking about where to spend your winnings.(all stats courtesy of: Pro Football Focus)

I qualified on a Trinity TESOL course in London about two years ago and only now iam looking to start teaching. With that in mind, its been a while since I did the course and I dont have a degree so I know my options are limited. I am not too choosy on what country I teach in as i love to travel and being anywhere new is always good experience for me. Can you offer any advice on the next step or the right step in order to get me working in a school that offers good support for new teachers? ie. are there any good tefl recruitment companies and I get confused with the difference between TEFL/EFL/TESOL. What strength does my qualification hold?
Many thanks in advance.

In Content Brew, you'll learn how to plan & create fresh content ideas for your blog, Facebook and Twitter. You'll also learn ways to find content to share and tools to make doing all of this easier. At the end of this course, you'll have anywhere from a month to a quarter's worth of content planned out for your blog, Facebook page and Twitter (to a more-limited degree), not to mention a process that you'll use over and over again.
Here's what we'll learn each lesson:
- Lesson 1: Prepwork- Content Planning Questionnaire
- Lesson 2: Getting to Know the Content Calendar
- Lesson 3: Planning and Creating Blog Content Ideas (Part 1)
- Lesson 4: Planning and Creating Blog Content Ideas (Part 2)
- Lesson 5: Planning and Creating Content for Facebook and Twitter
- Lesson 6: The Art of Using the Right Words to Drive Traffic
- Lesson 7: Keep Fresh Content Brewing Using Evernote
- Lesson 8: Finding and Keeping Track of Content to Share
- Lesson 9 (Bonus): Easy Automation to Shelve Ideas and Articles for Content Planning
If you noticed, I didn't say anything about writing content for blog posts. We stick to planning content using a calendar and learning how to both generate ideas and keep track of those ideas. However, we will write content for Facebook and Twitter.
A few awesome things that you'll learn:
- Exactly why you need a content calendar (hint: it won't stifle your creativity nor your spontaneity)
- How to customize a calendar for your blog
- Why and how you should include social media in your content planning (we'll stick with Facebook and Twitter for this course)
- Eight questions to ask yourself for more effective content planning
- What types of posts bring in the best traffic
- Techniques for coming up with an endless supply of content ideas
- 23 Content Generation Prompts for Facebook and Twitter
- Attention-grabbing words and phrases to increase engagement
- Tools to save you time and keep you organized
- And more more more.
How to Know If This Course Is For You
Content Brew is for any level of blogger who wants to wants to nail down the process of using a content calendar AND learn techniques to come up with loads of ideas for blog posts, Facebook posts and tweets.
You're ready to have a full arsenal of content for your blog, Facebook and Twitter page at your fingertips so you stop wasting time with the dreaded "I don't know what to write about." (or what to post on your Facebook page). I tell you, there's nothing better than sitting down to write a blog post and already knowing what to write about because it's on your calendar. Or getting ready for some social media interaction and already having a question ready to post. It's like your brain already did most of the work ahead of time. Even if you have tons of ideas already but no time to write them, some of the techniques and handouts will help you save time so you can squeeze in some more writing into your life.
Content Brew is also a great alternative to those who can't travel for blog conferences due to cost or time. Of course, if you go to blog conferences already well this will only deepen your knowledge even further.
The best part about this course is that it's not just reading, video-watching and downloading pretty handouts. You'll be DOING stuff. Planning content, learning techniques and getting loads of handouts that you'll reference long after the course is over.
What You'll Get
During the course, you'll receive lots of goodies:
- 2014-2015 content calendar template (spreadsheet format)
- Nine written lessons, with each lesson having a video, handout or both
- A total of six handouts which won't be a regurgitation of the lessons but rather idea guides that'll give you an endless flow of ideas (ex. 30 Fill in the Blank blog post ideas with examples for each one)
- Interaction with other students in a private Facebook group
- Interaction on Twitter with the #contentbrew hashtag
- Forever access to the course!
What You Need to Take the Course
In order to take the course, you'll need a few things (and none cost a dime!):
- A blog or website (EASY!)
- A program to open a spreadsheet (Google Drive, Excel, Numbers, OpenOffice)
- Colored markers and paper (yes, you'll go old-school for one assignment!)
- A Facebook page and/or Twitter account (we'll be planning content for these platforms)- you will need a Facebook personal profile to access the private group
How the Course Will Work
I KNOW it's tough to be online at a certain time, which is why this course doesn't require it. Once you purchase the course, you get access to ALL the lessons at once. Take two at a time or do one a week. It's up to you! Each lesson has a homework assignment so you'll actually accomplish something in this class too rather than just add to your to-do list.
Don't worry about signing up and then life getting in the way. Remember you have access to this course for as long as I have this blog! (That means you have plenty of time!)

Many of my colleagues in the eBusiness & Channel Strategy team at Forrester have been working extremely hard for the past few weeks, preparing for next week's Consumer Forum, which is taking place at the Hilton in Chicago on October 28th and 29th. Among my colleagues who are presenting their latest research are Brian Walker, Diane Clarkson and Zia Daniell Wigder, while Carrie Johnson is hosting the entire event. I'm sure it will be two days well spent.

Diet Drinks May Not Be Better For Kids
Many adults and kids have switched to diet drinks to help reduce their calorie intake. In fact, children who drink sugar-free beverages have doubled in the past 10 years according to a study released in 2012.
Are diet beverages really better for you? Not necessarily and they may actually be doing more harm than good.
Purdue University researchers reviewed a dozen studies published during the last five years to examine the relationship between consuming diet soda and health outcomes. In an opinion piece published in the journal Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, the authors said they were shocked by the results.
"Honestly, I thought that diet soda would be marginally better compared to regular soda in terms of health," said Susan Swithers, the report's author and a behavioral neuroscientist and professor of psychological sciences. But in reality it has a counterintuitive effect.
The body doesn't appear to know what to do with the fake sugar. It thinks it's getting real food, but it doesn't get the food complexity that it expects and doesn't know how to respond.
"You've messed up the whole system, so when you consume real sugar, your body doesn't know if it should try to process it because it's been tricked by the fake sugar so many times," says Swithers.
If someone drinks a lot of sugar free beverages, when they actually do take in real sugar, their body doesn't release the hormones that would normally regulate blood sugars and blood pressure. That scenario can become a real long-term health problem.
The report also noted that diet soda drinkers tended to gain more weight than those who don't drink it.
It found that diet soda drinkers who maintained a healthy weight range still had a significantly increased risk of the top three killers in the United States: diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
"We've gotten to a place where it is normal to drink diet soda because people have the false impression that it is healthier than indulging in a regular soda," says Swithers. "But research is now very clear that we need to also be mindful of how much fake sugar they are consuming."
The American Beverage Association had a different take on the report saying it was an opinion piece and not a study.
"Low-calorie sweeteners are some of the most studied and reviewed ingredients in the food supply today," the association said in a statement. "They are safe and an effective tool in weight loss and weight management, according to decades of scientific research and regulatory agencies around the globe."
The researchers reviewed only diet soft drinks but suggest that the results may apply to other products that contain fake sugars as well.
So should parents completely eliminate sugar-free products from their child's diet? The simple answer is no, just limit the consumption.
No one is saying cut it out completely,says Swithers. But diet soda should be a treat or indulgence just like your favorite candy, not an everyday thing.
Regular sodas are overloaded with sugar and sugar-free sodas may cause more problems than they solve.
Children's health experts say that instead of a soda, substitute water, milk, or limited amounts of 100% orange juice.
A soda every now and then is not a problem, but one or more every day is. Remember that soft drinks have no nutritional value and are associated with tooth decay not a great combination for any adult or child.

Location: Water Management Research
Project Number: 2034-13000-011-24-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Oct 1, 2011
End Date: Jun 30, 2014
Improve fumigation efficacy with alternatives to methyl bromide for almond orchard replanting using low permeability tarps.
Two field trials will be conducted to collect soil fumigant (1,3-D, chloropicrin and methyl iodide) and pest control (e.g., nematode, pathogen, and weed) data under low permeability tarps such as TIF. Fields with naturally occurring nematode and pathogen populations will be selected for fumigation. Treatments will include: control (no fumigation), full rate (maximum allowed) in bare soil, under standard tarp, and TIF tarp, and reduced rates (2/3 and 1/2 of full rate) under TIF. Soil-gas concentrations will be monitored at pest sampling locations and depths. Correlation between fumigant dosage and pest control, and treatment effects will be statistically analyzed. Tarp permeability will be measured before and after installation. Fumigant change in the air under tarp will be monitored to estimate the proper time for the safe removal of TIF tarps to minimize exposure.

"I have a gift basket business and these are adorable to tuck inside each basket. Love the square! Font choices are amazing...design is unique. Always love EVERYTHING I've ordered from Tiny Prints!"
"I was thoroughly pleased with these cards. It is certainly a fun little splurge and I look forward to showing them off to my fellow moms. We so often meet moms out and about and talk about play dates. The paper quality is sturdy enough to hold up in my wallet or purse so they are always at the ready!"
"The cards were as cute and perfect as the picture I saw. It was easy to complete my order an fast. The quality of the paper and the color was really amazing!!"
"These "Mommy" business cards are such a fun idea for play dates, etc. The design website was very user friendly. My order turned out great and the cards are adorable."
"I got these in the teal color and absolutely loved them. They were of great quality paper and the print was perfect no mistakes on any card or blunders. I showed them to a few people and they loved them! The only thing I'd add is a spot where you can add the mom/dad/parents name. Sometimes we are all forgetful and can't remember and to ask for the kid if they are tiny is silly. Other than thay they were awesome."

|Thanks For the compliment...It's a labor of love...I've got to be getting tired to...it took me three tries to spell labor.
|OK I couldn't just go to bed without taking a look at the pictures. WOW that's a beautiful paint job !! I also like the coil overs and was thinking about that but they're too expensive for me at this time. I'll stick to the leaf springs for now so I can get it to where I can safely use it and maybe next summer I'll attack that project.
|Just got home, I was skinning 3 pigs we caught in our cages this morning. I'll take a look at your pictures later, I'm beat !

Here is a website URL of my last build. I did the frame off, all the paint and body. The bottom is as shinny as the outside, over 1300 parts painted Individually. It's a PPG Vibrance tri-coat called "Burnt Orange", base color is blue with a transparent orange shot over top. The ghost flames are seven different shades of blue air brushed and cleared.
The customer had a family member do the drive train and a buddy do the interior. I'm good with that because i was told up front. I like doing the builds like the next one I'm on, it's all mine from part selection to the final delivery.
I hope this works because my copy and paste didn't.
Let me know what you think
|Cool, I'll do that too. Where are you located? Other forums let you see where the people are from but although I filled it out for my profile I can't even find mine. I'm outside of DFW in Texas.

Glad to hear you have less driving to do. I know what driving is all about. When I was a Tech Rep in Northern Alberta Canada for ICI automotive refinishes (now called Nexa) I would put on well over 100,000 miles a year. I did that for 10 years and it wears on you. See good things happen to good people.
Another thing I like to do for myself and my customers eat it up is keep a daily log with times pictures and side notes for reminders. This helps with the "now where did I leave off" issues that we all face. You can lay out your game plan and follow it. Time lines are rarely kept but at least you can point out the issues that caused you not to be on time or why you did it faster and it reminds you not to make the same mistake twice. I keep all my pertinent information as to web-sites I used, people I talked to on a certain date and what we talked about...the list goes on.
Now when the job is done I make a copy for my customer, when he goes to shows he can speak more intelligently on a question, it shows how much effort went into the build and I've been told that it helps in getting the selling price up there if he is ever inclined to do so. The lists of benefits goes on and on. Today I wouldn't do a build without one. I'm starting a new project now, I have a large amount of hours into it and I mean a lot of hours. Everything I have done is documented and with about 100 hours into the project, the parts are just starting to roll in. I am not allowed to speak to much on this build as the customer wants everything quiet until just before the big reveal. All I can say is that it is something that has never been done before, it will be subtle but, it will have have that what the, how the, where the, questions...the only one I can answer now is why the....That's because that is what the customer wanted.
Give this a try, it will save you time and money in the long run. Funny thing too, if I write stuff down I seem to remember it easier.
Hope this helps
Funny how after I posted this I got 2 calls. One from a friend who works for the same company I work for. The second person that called is from our company HR department and she offered me to bid on a job "just" 245 miles away.
That's one of the good things about flying helicopter jobs under contract. I get to choose where I want to fly. This is a smaller helicopter but it's also only 4 1/2 driving hours away compared to 14 1/2 hours I do now. Those 10 extra hours I'll save plus being closer will be the difference between working on my truck one week a month versus two weeks a month because although I work one week on then one week off I don't usually drive home every other week but being closer I can come home every other week. Plus less gas so more money to spend on it which will speed things up also.
I agree that aside from all the fun rebuilding it and now knowing it's going to be done safely and correctly, it's always so satisfying to explain what we had to do to make it right. Also like you say, when someone else finds the same issue I'll be able to help them, like I do on the helicopter forums.
I'm taking pictures of every step of the journey and as soon as I get a little further along I'll post a Photo Journal.

[QUOTE=PRHeloPilot;1603328]Great post. I for one love the old cars and not until now, after searching through basically expensive rust buckets of crap have I finally found this good one. Or so I thought as I started tearing it down and finding all the things that were done wrong. At least it wasn't too rusted so it's a matter of replacing broken parts and fabricating new ones to make it safer. Still I know I'm loving every minute relearning things I had forgotten and when it's all said and done I'll have a modern (1995) drive train and suspension and still enjoy a 1949 Ford truck as a reliable daily driver.
Of course in order to be able to pay for this restoration I ended up exchanging in my 16 mpg 5.7 engine 2007 Toyota Tundra for a 50+ mpg 2012 Kia Optima HYBRID. I drive 849 miles one way to work every other week and that saved gas money is going to my F1 now.[/QUOT
Yes, it is hard to be sure you have that diamond in the rough and most often it is more rough than diamond. Good thing though, you do have a heavier gauge of metal to work with compared to today's cars. Always remember that the challenges we have now are the ones we can answer when somebody someday says "how the hell did you do that". That's when we can swell our chest and say, "you wouldn't believe what I had to do" and after you explain, some starry eyed youth (or even more rewarding when a pier looks at you and) goes WOW.
849 miles one way, WOW, and trust me, I'm not the starry eyed youth. With your KIA you'll have your project paid for in no time.
Great post. I for one love the old cars and not until now, after searching through basically expensive rust buckets of crap have I finally found this good one. Or so I thought as I started tearing it down and finding all the things that were done wrong. At least it wasn't too rusted so it's a matter of replacing broken parts and fabricating new ones to make it safer. Still I know I'm loving every minute relearning things I had forgotten and when it's all said and done I'll have a modern (1995) drive train and suspension and still enjoy a 1949 Ford truck as a reliable daily driver.
Of course in order to be able to pay for this restoration I ended up exchanging in my 16 mpg 5.7 engine 2007 Toyota Tundra for a 50+ mpg 2012 Kia Optima HYBRID. I drive 849 miles one way to work every other week and that saved gas money is going to my F1 now.

I understand what you mean about technology and I still have to wonder. Remember when a small block engine (doesn't matter about the manufacturer) would give you 23 -27 miles per gallon on the highway pushing a 4,000 pound plus car. You could work on them with a butter knife, dad's crescent wrench and a pair of rolled up sweat socks. Then in the early to mid 70's we had a fuel shortage and we became environmentally aware. Catalytic converters and pollution pumps pumps where the order of the day. You open the hood and with the electronic ignition, 347 extra vacuum hoses and more feet of extra wiring than Wilt Chamberlan had women, we collectively saved the environment and dropped down to 13 miles per gallon driving down hill on a nice day with a tail wind. I could never figure that one out.
It was a sad 20 lean years of not only poor fuel mileage, poor performance as well. Now we are moving forward, performance is better than ever, even the testing equipment is coming down in price. The one thing that still saddens me though is the people that work on the new cars today for the most part are not mechanics, they prefer to be called "technicians". I have a young fellow living down the street from me, who is a "licensed technician" for a local import dealership, came over and asked what I was doing. I told him I was changing the points in my AMX. He said, "I've heard about them but never seen any before". I said "what, points or the AMX. He said "either one". This young man reflects many in the trade today and that's fine but, it's the passion that will keep the older cars on the road and that's where we come in.
The new electronic age is here, we will not be repairing cars as much anymore as replacing parts and parts and parts until the hand held computer doesn't show anymore codes coming up. Kind of sad but it is what it is.
The new technology can be intimidating at first but, with a little time taken to learn what the part does and how it does it and why, things do make sense. Look at us now, factory cars making more horse power and torque than ever, my wife's north star is pushing over 300 horse power and she gets just under 30 miles per gallon on the highway. We have turned a corner in the performance area, now us older guys just have to figure out where it is we wanted to go. It's really not that difficult, read, ask questions, listen and learn. Isn't that we we did so many years ago?
Sorry for the long rant, just my take on old technology versus new.
Thanks Ray.
You sound like i sound when I help someone over on the helicopter forums. I do it for a living but have more fun helping others not make my mistakes. I also totally agree that I don't know as much now as when I was 22 when I knew it all, lol !
Actually back then at least I knew a little more about cars because with my neighbor's help I used to be able to rebuild my little Toyota motor and 1/4 mile drag race every other Friday. I've forgotten so much but it's slowly coming back with this '49 restoration.
Technology should help but I have to relearn everything. One quick example was yesterday at Best Buy. I went to see a radio I had researched for my truck because I'm redesigning all the switches and planning on covering all the unnecessary holes the previous owners made in the dash. So I ask the kid if they're all the same size and he looked at me funny. I told him when I used to install my radios I had to cut 3 holes. One for the center of the radio and 2 other holes for the shafts on the side for volume and station tuning. He looked at me like a dog looks at you when you make funny noises and turned his head thinking. Damn I'm getting old !

If you are determined, and it sounds like you are, you will be fine. You have a wealth of information here with a bunch of good guys that do it for the shear love of the hobby.
I have my own rod/restoration business and some times I think I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world. How many people get to go to work and play...(besides professional athletes), and if you're reasonably good at it, they pay you quite well.
This forum lets me kind of "pay back" for an enjoyable career that has given me a comfortable life.
If you have questions, I'd be happy to help if I can (I don't know it all any more like I did when I was at the ages between 17 and 22).
Thanks. Yes the cab mounts were all there but based on all the previous crappy workmanship I knew I'd find something bad. One of the mounts had broken so the just welded it right there to another piece and then took 2 bolts on each side....for get it, it's depressing to even talk about it. Didn't know how dangerous people can be sometimes.
I think they just wanted a rat rod so kept throwing things together. I mean even the title was bad. It said 1949 DAEWOO !!! At least the lady at the DMV was a car buff and told me Daewoo wasn;t around until the 70s or 80s so she fixed it for me and I got my title corrected.
time to go to bed but in the morning we'll be taking the cab off and we'll continue to fix everything that was done wrong. It'll be a hell of a nice truck when I'm done with it, that's my goal.

Hello guys !
I talking you a long time ago about my armor project... And I finally began it !!
Well... it's with not expansive materials I found in a working store and in a sport store ^^
here's some references pics :
And a lot of other pics :D
So let me show you what I've done for the moment.
First I bought biker boots and gloves (but no photos yet)...
Then, I decided to make the chest in a plastic sheet.
I made it in two parts : the global chest, and the top chest.
then, I put on the first part some peaces of foam to make the chest relief :
Finally, I put the second part on it:
I made the form folding the material with my hands ^^
The first part of the helmet !
After the beginning of the chest, I decided to make the entire helmet before continuing the rest of the armor.
So I bought a roller helmet in a sport store and put a sheet of plastic on it.
I have to cut it a little 'cause for the moment, I can't hold up my head *:rolleyes:
Here's the first shot of my helmet.
Don't forget that is just the begining ^^
Yesterday, I formed the visor, shots will come when I fixed it on the elmet tonight or at the begining of the next week :D

AMES, Iowa — Americans are being encouraged to personalize their eating style during National Nutrition Month. This campaign from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics focuses on making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. March 2013 is the 40th anniversary of National Nutrition Month, said Sarah Francis, an Iowa State University assistant professor and ISU Extension and Outreach nutrition specialist.
"This year's theme, 'Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day,' encourages people to incorporate individual food choices and preferences into their own healthy eating plan. It also promotes personal eating plans tailored toward individual lifestyles, traditions, cultures, tastes and health needs," Francis said.
"Personalizing your eating style allows you to account for your own unique tastes," said Lindsay MacNab, a diet and exercise research assistant who works with Francis. "Eat healthy foods that you enjoy and that please your taste buds. If you really don't like certain foods, try to find other foods that have the same nutrients and provide similar health benefits. For example, if you don't like to eat broccoli, try eating a combination of different foods such as mushrooms on top of a spinach salad in order to obtain the vitamin D and vitamin K found in broccoli. Vitamin D is important for bone health and vitamin K is needed for healthy blood clotting and retaining bone calcium."
Anyone can eat for his or her own lifestyle, whether a vegan, vegetarian, athlete, on-the-go businessperson, multi-tasking parent, student or average American, MacNab said. Although many Americans claim that they simply don't have time to eat right, they can make healthy eating a priority by creating a meal plan in advance and fitting nutritious foods into daily eating.
Francis suggests creating easy, nutritious snack packs such as carrots, celery and multi-colored peppers paired with hummus, whole wheat crackers with low-fat cheese or Greek yogurt with fresh fruit or low-fat granola as toppings. Gather ingredients for the meals ahead of time or prepare foods that can be frozen and eaten later in the week.
"Cuisines from around the world contain many unique spices and nutritious ingredients. Mix up your meal routine by finding a new international recipe that appeals to your tastes. Keep family food traditions alive and strive to bring other ethnic foods to the dinner table," Francis said.
For motivation, keep in mind health concerns associated with unhealthy eating such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, MacNab continued.
"You don't have to quit eating your favorite foods, simply eat them in moderation. Almost all recipes can be modified to a healthier version of its original counterpart without negatively affecting the taste. For example, try using applesauce instead of vegetable or canola oil to cut back on calories and fat while adding vitamin C. You also can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream or blended low-fat cottage cheese in place of cream cheese," MacNab said.
"In addition, make MyPlate, your plate! Make at least half of your grains whole grains, include low-fat or fat-free dairy items, consume around 3 ounces of protein from sources such as lean cuts of meat, fish, seafood and poultry, and fill half of your plate with a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables," MacNab said.
The Live Healthy Iowa 10 Week Challenge continues. This team-based weight loss and physical activity program helps Iowans make positive changes that lead to a healthier lifestyle. To learn more, visit www.LiveHealthyIowa.org. Live Healthy Iowa is a partnership of the Iowa Department of Public Health, Iowa Sports Foundation and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for the input y'all. Yeah the Loaf is a special place man. Drink it up! Lol...good mornings, romanian deadlifts and running stairs just made me flash back to my years on my high school ski team! Arrrrgh. All good though. I can get on that. Running is good for general cardio but its extremely efficient and theres really no muscle confusion. I'll still admit to breathing a little heavy on some skates last weekend though! Snowboarding must be really good exercise.
I was thinking...get a cheap all mtn board and Craigslist it/pawn when I leave Cali. I am there until April 30th which is perfect for the next 4 Sundays at Tahoe. The cheap Burton progression rental was $42 and a whole day demo board on mountain was $72! None of the local shops I looked at (basically Any Moutain sports) had off site demo snowboards. I didnt want to get $200 in on demos if I can get a cheap but better than rental set up for $250. Then next season I'll get a real board. I did eye that GNU B-Nice too! There was a K2 board that loooked decent too. I'm 99% sure I'm going stiffer, edgier and fast rather than buttery park board. I still have to go home to the east coast and compared to Tahoe pow...man we got some crappy ice floes to ride on!
I also travel enough for work that I have platinum status on US Air so I dont pay bag fees. So if I catch the right deal on a Lib Tech or GNU I'm snatching it! Wait..are Lib Techs still as amazingly orgasmic rides?
Oh and I didnt mean to offend with the camera thing! I totally get how watching video of your form makes a ton of sense for improving. But since I just came from Northstar (which is the anti Sugarloaf) and spent the day watching ppl with more money than brains parked under rollers so they could get a base shot of their buddy...I really got turned off by "camera riders." Lol. I'm so holding the line on iPods though. Sooo dangerous. I was freaked to find out helmets have ear bud inserts! Its like implicitly saying "hey you gotta helmet, go be reckless!"
Edited to add: Oh my god...I just realized I used to smoke a joint and barrell down steeps at 40 MPH with nothing but a beanie to protect my brain. I am so glad I dont have kids. I need to call every adult authority figure I ever had and apologize like right now.
Rome Vinyl is a good board, bought one for a friend and she loves it. It's not really all that intermediate, it's the women's version of the Mod Rocker, but it should shred the mountain great and really good on jumps.
Squats (front and back), deadlifts, lunges, good mornings, Romanian deadlifts, all good things for your legs and core. Don't ignore your upper body too much either to keep muscle balance. I also love to beat the crap out of old tires with sledgehammers of assorted weights with assorted intervals of work and rest, great whole body workout combined with conditioning at the same time. Running stairs is great for the legs as well.
Love the 'Loaf and hoping to get some nice spring boarding up there in April.
Edit: Have a contour camera myself, it's nice to watch some videos in the summer when I'm wishing there was snow on the ground to ride.
I ride daily and still have some days that makes my body ache..... Working out will make your riding days better overall.
Videoing your runs can be helpful and fun but we only really do it a few rimes a year.
Demo a few boards at a good shop somewhere. Smokin snowboards is made in Tahoe/Reno and are excellent quality boards. Their women's PYT is a great all around board. Your board size should be around 144-148. In the newer tech boards. 144 more playful. 148/150 for when you start going faster again....
|check out gnu "ladies choice", b-nice or b-pro...certianly it can't hurt box jumps and squats, but i'd imagine you will pick it up fast and get fairly efficient at riding again
Returned to Boarding after 10+ years
Hey y'all. I'm new to the forum...and old skiier/boarder coming back to the sport.
I grew up in Maine, basically at Sugarloaf mountain. I went to college basically at Sunday River (lol) moved to NYC to chase a career and sadly ended my boarding days.
I recently got sent to a 3 month assignment in the Bay Area Cali. I got sick of watching the paint dry in my hotel room, so I had the hubby send my apparel and I headed up to Northstar one day!
Soooo...here I am, back hooked HARDCORE. Seriously..why did I stop riding?
I'm hoping someone is in the same phsyical/head space as me because I have a couple questions.
1) 1 week on from my boarding trip, my calves and quads are still buring. See when I was a youngin, I never had to try to stay in shape. It just happened. Because being 16 is so much more awesome phsyically than being 35. Does this fix itself if I ride every other weekend for rhe rest of thw season or I am looking at hitting the gym and doing squats and box jumps?
2) I'm looking a purchasing a Rome intermediate all mountain board. The Rome Vinyl 2012 is on sale at EVO for $169. When I rode as a kid it actually predated park jibbing and twin tips. My last season at the Loaf they started the outlines of pipe. I used to ride a 152...fast...and air was limited to popping off rollers. My rental board last week was a soft Burton 138 typical rental. But at lunch I just paid some extra to demo a 148 stiffer rocker board and I liked it better. I dont want to cut myself off from learning park really...just not something I've ever really done. Plus I'm kind of a big girl as in heavy. I'm 5'5" and weigh like 155 or so now. I'm mostly a mid pack 10-15 mile a week runner for my cardio (not opposed to doing interval training again) but if I start getting below 150 my ribs start showing and its gross. So does this mean shorter jib boards are pretty much out for me anyway?
3) Wth is with all the tech on the mountain now? Why are ppl riding with headphones and iPhones? Why do ppl have cameras duck taped to broom sticks and their helmets and crap? (I will say tho 90% of riders wearing helmets is good to see...no one wore a helmet when I was a kid. Its a welcomed cultural change.) Really...shut your crap off and have fun on the mountain. Its unsafe and it makes you look a little dbaggy.
Any suggestions on boards, conditioning and avoiding crappy snowboard YouTube videos will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance hive mind!

- Puppy Behavior (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/)
- - Figuring out my landshark (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/412466-figuring-out-my-landshark.html)
Figuring out my landshark
It is full blown land shark mode these days. Yep, 12 + weeks old :help:
At one point I was really, honestly getting tired of his biting and managing him despite an interesting day for DD. So, I put him in his crate to give myself a break. And what have I learned? When he goes into the zoomies/landshark mode, he is simply plain tired and needs crate time. He immediately drops "dead" and sleeps for a while.
It surely helps and once he is rested it is he sweetest pup again. Never crossed my mind until that coincidental steep learning curve.
I hope this will work with your little sharkies as well. I just decided to post this experience in case it helps some of you.
Lol! I have learned the same with my 12 week pup! We also had trainer come to the house about a week ago for a "puppy manners" class! He was exactly what I needed. Some tips the trainer gave us that may help others too:
He said excessive biting is 1) a toy problem 2) a treat problem. 3) overtired puppy
1) I thought we had enough toys but in reality our sweet boy was already tired of his toys. He was going around those boring toys and biting my arm. We got a few more toys and have been rotating them every day or so. It's like a brand new toy when we pull it back out after he he not seen it for a day or two! He gets so excited seeing the new toy, he forgets about my hands. The other key to this is to have 2 toys going at once! When he is overly excited and comes back at me to chew me, I whip out the other one! Oh happy dog!
2) treat problem...he was tired of the same ole treats. At the suggestion of the trainer, I purchased one of the cold rolls of Nature's Pet food rolls for puppies (around $5). I cut it up into pieces for a training session. He loves it and his little brain is so tired, he usually goes back to sweet puppy after one of those little snacks and training sessions (and learns my hands produce yummies!) I am sure there are lots of other delicious things too like chicken, ground turkey, etc
He also suggested ice cubes and frozen carrots to entertain him when I just can't. This morning he wanted to play, but this mama needed to unload the dishwasher! He went through two ice cubes and I got my job done.
And finally, he goes nuts in the mornings when our 2 children (ages 7 and 10) come downstairs biting their legs etc. so I started putting 2 toys and some treats on the stairs before they get up so they are "armed and ready" to interact with him for a few minutes. I also have been making them keep treats nearby at all times so as soon as he comes for them, they can start doing some commands/treats which usually satisfies the dog and keeps the from bleeding! Lol
Hopefully we are in the home stretch of the land shark phase and you are too!
That makes a lot of sense. Ours doesn't bite much anymore. I've told my wife when he gets bitey and defiant (for the lack of a better term) he is generally tired and wore out, needs a nap. Like a kid....
I've also seen him do these things when he is over stimulated. For instance when our son's dog comes, he goes nutz. He loves playing with her and is always excited to see her. However, he bites the crap out of her. She is a jack Russel mix and a very good dog. Yesterday he must have hurt her and she laid into him, made him cry. Which is good actually. I can usually get them both to calm down, "no biting", "leave it", etc. Sometimes I have to raise my voice to stop them for a little while and the resume play is much more civil.
I would associate your kids being the over stimulation. I think our plan with the toys and treats is awesome.
I'll have to try ice cubes and carrots.
Ours hasn't nipped for months and months and months...ever since she learned I nip back.
Oh the joy's of puppies! I remember my dobie going through that stage, he just kind of grew out of it when he realized that it got him no attention. The GSD never went through that, her thing was jumping up, it drove me NUTS it seemed to take such a long time for her to stop...and now they're both sensible grown-ups it's all a distant memory!
In the way past I learned that this will last until about 16 weeks of age . With WD (I wrote this dream in my planner!!) it stopped at the very day he was 16 weeks old so, since this is still fresh in my memory, I have patience and the confidence he will work through this. And it makes it much more tolerable.
