Just over a minute into the extra session, Air Force attempted to clear the puck out of its zone. However, McKellar intercepted the pass at the blue line. The junior then faked a shot to get a defender on the ice, skated around him and fired a shot from the left boards. The puck deflected off another Falcon defender, going in the air and over the Falcons' Jason Torf in goal. The puck dropped six inches beyond the goal line, sending the Griffs to the Atlantic Hockey semifinals for the third time in school history.
"We showed a lot of grit and a lot of resiliency tonight in a game that Air Force played really well," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "Those characteristics are why we won the game and advanced to the Atlantic Hockey semifinals."
It marks just the second time in 32 all-time Atlantic Hockey series that the road team emerged victorious - the Griffs also won as a five seed at fourth-seeded Mercyhurst in 2010. Canisius also became the first team in league history to win two rounds to advance to the Atlantic Hockey Semifinals. All it took was winning at second-seeded Air Force, who won each of the last two league championships and five of the last six.
Senior Preston Shupe, junior Kyle Gibbons and sophomore Matthew Grazen all added goals for the Griffs as the team rallied from a two-goal deficit late in the second period.
Junior Tony Capobianco was once again outstanding in net. The junior netminder stopped a career-best 50 shots, establishing a new Division I postseason record for the Griffs.
The Griffs grabbed the early advantage in the game thanks to Shupe's 16th tally of the season. Freshman Ralph Cuddemi chipped the puck up to Shupe on the boards and the senior dodged an Air Force defender to set up a 2-on-1 break. The captain finished it himself for the early 1-0 lead. Sophomore defender Doug Jessey also recorded an assist on the goal 6:13 into the contest.
The Falcons, however, controlled possession during the first period with 22 shots on goal and eventually found the back of the net with 1:56 left in the opening stanza. On a 2-on-2 rush, Air Force crossed up the Canisius defenders and Ben Carey redirected a pass into the back of the net after getting a step past his defenseman.
Air Force then took its first lead of the series 2:21 into the second frame. A loose puck squirted out to the blue line and Adam McKenzie fired a shot in for the 2-1 advantage. McKenzie then extended the Falcons lead to two, scoring on the power play just after a two-man advantage expired with a blast that found the back of the net with 8:35 left in the period.
Gibbons pulled the Griffs within one with his team-leading 18th goal of the season with 3:27 remaining in the second. Junior Patrick Sullivan drew a power play in the corner and then found Gibbons open in the right face-off circle. The junior then roofed a shot into the net for the 3-2 score. Senior defender Ben Parker also recorded an assist on the tally.
The game remained a 3-2 score until late in the third period when Grazen tied the contest with his eighth goal of the season. From the left boards, senior Torrey Lindsay found freshman Stephen Miller with room in the slot. The rookie had his shot blocked but the puck found Grazen in the right face-off circle and the sophomore beat the Air Force netminder near post for the 3-3 tie, setting up McKellar's overtime heroics.
Air Force finished the game with a 53-25 advantage in shots but Canisius was able to score on its last two shots of the game and Capobianco stood strong to anchor the Griffs defense. The Falcons were also 1-for-6 on the power play, while killing all three Canisius extra-man chances.
Torf recorded 21 saves in the defeat for Air Force.
Canisius now turns its attention toward the league's semifinals. The Griffs will square off with top-seeded and local rival Niagara on Friday in Rochester with a trip to the Atlantic Hockey Championship on the line.
Game Notes: The Griffs have the longest winning streak in the country ... The last time that Canisius won six-straight games was from Dec. 4, 1999 to Jan. 15, 2000 ... The assist for Cuddemi was his first even-strength point of his career. He entered the game with six points (2g, 4a), all on the power play ... The Griffs entered the weekend winless in their last five games against Air Force (0-5-5) ... Canisius was 1-2-0 against Niagara during the 2012-13 campaign.

Letting my son drive the Gran Sport.
I had such a ball today, I was going to get something done out in the garage but the sun was shining and I asked my 15 year old if he wanted to go over to the Highschool and drive the Gran Sport, oh yes he did. Mind you, he is a teen ager x100 he is a loner and says no to just about anything like this so I was thrilled to get him out there. We drove around the parking lot for three and a half hours! It is such good time we talk about everything and it is great father son time, unlike I can EVER get out of him. He first complained a little how it's an automatic. He just couldn't understand why anyone would have bought an automatic car like this. He said "Automatics should be only for woman". LOLOL But after a while he was digging how it handled and he was using the speed bumps as pylons and running a figure 8 around them hanging the corners pretty hot. There wasn't a car in the lot at that time so don't get upset at me. He was REALLY digging the way this car handles, it stays FLAT it really does. And by the end he said "Why did they ever make any other car"? Like this is the car of cars, funny stuff.
How cool is that? Priceless. :thumbup: That time with your boy is the greatest gift you can give him. Not to mention what it means to you. My daughter reminded me I let her drive the '47 Ford when we went to Pigeon Forge one year when she fist got her license.. I had forgotten it but it was still etched in her mind. :thumbup:
John L
I sure remember my dad letting me drive used and new cars he had brought home. Even before I had a license he would let me drive them when we were off road out fishing. You darn tootin it sticks in our heads.
You know whats funny John, I posted this on my facebook page and one of my "friends" on facebook is a man who when he was just 12 or so use to sweep my shop. He posted how he remembers how I let him drive a car and park it out front. I don't remember this but that was a huge thing for him and it is "etched" as you said in his mind. Isn't that neat? I know the man who gave me my first job (at his restoration/hotrod shop) when I was still in highschool let me drive a 29 Model A sport coupe with a SBC out of the shop once, I remember it like it was yesterday, a VERY responsive motor. Moving that car 150 feet was the highlight of my young life at that point. :D
well their you go , put a new top on her ,and now your son is in the drives set. Time for a new project Now. Because this is now your son's NEW Ride. LOL
Very cool Brian. I too took all three of mine to the high school lot for their first time. We were trying to teach my oldest son the wonders of a clutch in my Wife's Corvette. Out of the three, he was the only one who "wanted" to learn a stick. Sadly he was (and still is at the age of 30) terrible at driving a clutch car. The other two (20 and 24) could care less about sticks, neither have been behind the wheel of my wife's car and don't want too:(
Precious Moments and Memories MartinSr !:thumbup:
I can remember my Granny teaching me to drive an old 52 three on the tree and of course I'll never forget teaching both of my sons to drive. The smile on that young mans face are worth a million words. Here's a little something from Alan Jackson along those lines.
I may have told you guys this pretty funny story during those days back a few months ago. But how many of us, any of us, at any age let alone a guy who learned to drive in 2012 can say he learned how to drive in a Rambler, and not only a Rambler but while he was learning he had to yield to a marching band? LOL, My son will be able to say that the rest of his life. We were going around his school parking lot and he had to yield to the marching band who was practicing there too. :D I tried to get a photo but it was just too dark out.
Yes Brian, the memories your son has of that day in the parking lot will be etched in his mind forever. I remember my son and what he tells me now is one of his favorite memories of car moments we shared and I don't know if I ever told this story on the Forum before or not but here goes.
I was working on the front brakes on a car I gave my son for Christmas 5 months earlier, the car was pulling hard to the left and found that a caliper was sticking...I replaced the front rotors, calipers, pads and packed the front wheel bearings on his 79 Pontiac Lemans 305 4 bbl. He was with me the whole time and I got him involved in the repair and the bleeding of the brakes. So now it's time for a test drive and being that it was a Sunday morning, not much traffic on the road, I'm at a red light and for some unknown reason I thought it would be nice to do a burnout...so I did and we did manage to make quite a bit of smoke. My son looks back and tells me that there is a cop right behind us. I told my son to not say a word and let me do all the talking and we stopped for another red light...I did another burn out with the cop right behind me and then I turned into my shop's parking lot. The red lights went on and I opened my window. Before the cop could say anything I told him that I knew he was behind me (which was true) and because one of the front calipers was sticking my son and I where solving a front brake locking up issue and where working on the brakes so that in the future, (which was true) when he drove it the car would be safe for him (which was true). I went on to tell the officer that the reason I had my son with me was so that he could learn how things work on a car and perhaps may not need to rely on a repair shop for everything in the future (which was also true).
The officer looked at both my son's and my hands, saw that they where dirty, turned to my son and said "do you know how lucky you are young man? You have a father that is willing to spend the time to make sure that your safe on the road", and went on and on about how lucky my son was and thanked me for being a good father.
Here we are some 14 or 15 years later and very often when I speak to my son this event comes up, among others, but for some reason this is one that I don't think he'll ever forget....I know I won't....LOL.
That's a good one Ray. :thumbup:
He helped me bleed the brakes in the car a few weeks ago. :D
Growing up in the 50's,, I think I was around 13 or so,, my dad owned a Chev/Oldsmobile dealership,, he had a old 46 chev sedan ( at that time it wasn't really old , 8 y/o)that he had brought home to keep for himself,, we lived on a dead end road, that had a huge field at the end of it,,he hardly ever drove the car,, so after school one day ,my buddy and I decided to take it for a spin, back in those days everything was stick shift, I got the thing started and down the road we went, got to the end, and the brakes weren't working too good ( of course I was going too fast ,and I went through the fence, trying to turn around ,, I got stuck in mud,, down to the axles,, I knew I was in deep do-do , so we had to get it out someway, so we went to my uncles farm. and took my uncles farm tractor and hooked a chain up to the front bumper,, first yank , off came the bumper,:pain::pain:, (so then we hooked up to something under the car, I think it was the A-Arm ( its been a few years) anyway we finally got the car out of the field, less the bumper. and a few dents and gouges,,
Dragged it back home and washed and cleaned it up as good as we could, we had to park it back in the same spot, or he would notice it being moved, but we had to put it facing the opposite direction because, the thing wouldn't go in reverse.. that was better anyway cause that way the missing front bumper didn't show,
it took about a week for him to notice how it was parked , and when he did ,, I could hear him hollering for a mile,
needless to say, my a z z was burning for a LONG time,, I hated that car after that,, :D and never cared for the 46 chevs either
WOW...now my 57 year old memory is getting jarred. When I was 14 my buddy and I went halfer's on a 1954 Chevy 4 door. The battery had a hole in it so it needed to be push started, the brakes where well, for lack of better terminology, only working at 50% capacity (because the driver's side, front and back had the steel lines pinched to avoid the metal on metal sound when you applied the brakes). It was green with a bunch of fluorescent Orange graffiti all over it. All this for $5.00.
First thing we did was push start it to get it going and drove it to my Dad's shop about 4 miles away in the country and parked it until we could get enough gas money to go joy riding. Three days later, I had $3.00 for cutting grass, my buddy had a $5.00 bill he rifled out of his mother's purse I'm sure...but he had $5.00 non the less. We took my Dad's 5 gallon Jerry can he used for the lawn mower and put $2.00 worth of gas in the can and it almost filled the gas can. We took turns carrying the gas can the 4 miles to the shop and poured in into the tank of new 1954 Chevy.
Stupid us, we had parked it in a field that was full of weeds and couldn't push it quite as easily as if it was on pavement...Of coarse, I had an idea...my Dad had a shop truck and the key was always hidden under the floor mat...just borrow the truck to push start the 54 and we are then cruising. I jump into the shop truck, fire it up, my buddy is behind the wheel of the 54, I start pushing the car, my buddy pops the clutch, the old car fires up, goes sideways and takes out the headlight, headlight door and puts a dent in the front fender. Not a big deal, we got the car running.
We start driving down a country road (we chose this road because nobody used it any more) having a blast and all of a sudden coming over the top of a hill what do we see but a truck coming right at us...My buddy was driving, hits the brakes, the car pulls hard to right (only had brakes on one side) and we end up in the ditch...we wave the truck driver on saying we're OK (we didn't want any witnesses...Stupid or what) not thinking of how are we going to get this hulk running and out of the ditch. Well if we weren't the two luckiest guys you could imagine...the car started for the first time, the one and only time, off the battery.
I thought to myself that if I had been driving this wouldn't have happened so I insisted that I drive the car back to my Dad's shop. Now my Dad's shop was about 70 feet off of a major Highway, with only a gravel service road leading to the shop, I pull into the service road and what do we see...on the Highway an RCMP patrol car driving along looking for speeders. We weren't speeding, but we didn't have any plates either so we hurried to get the car to my Dad's shop with the RCMP right behind us. We park the car and where invited to sit in the back seat of the cruiser. I am now at the point of wondering what could possibly happen to us and I was the one caught driving so I would get the brunt of whatever punishment was going to be dealt out.
I start pleading with the RCMP officer to please don't take my drivers license away, thinking that I'm 14 years old, the legal age to get a driver's license was 16 years old, they might make me wait until I was 18 years old...(it's amazing what goes through a condemned boys mind at 14). One RCMP officer, of coarse the one that well over 7 feet tall, at least he looked to be that tall at the time, turns to me and says "take your license away, take your license away, your 14, you don't have a license to take away". We did however, both get a summons to appear in court the following Tuesday with one of our parents. I picked my Mom...My Dad volunteered.
My Dad in his wisdom, suggested that we go to the shop and move the eye sore of a car from the front of his shop and move it to the back where it couldn't be seen and to then hand the keys over to him and he would dispose of the car. We headed to the shop and of coarse the car wouldn't start...it needed a push start...with the shop truck...with the busted out headlight and broken headlight door and dented fender....and green paint from the Chevy all over the damaged area. About now I thought that not only would have been better to take my license away until I was 18, it would have been better to give 4 years in the Provincial Penitenitiary so I wouldn't have to deal with the wrath of my Dad.
I looked at my Dad...do any of you remember the cartoons where one of the character's gets angry and he turns red until steam comes out of his ears...he was getting redder and redder...everything but the steam. He walked away, sat in his car (he was driving a 67 Chrysler 300 with the 375 HP 440 CID at the time, beautiful car) for what seemed to be forever. He finally gets out of the car, very calmly gets in the truck, tells me to get in the Chevy and once we get it going to park it in the back, come back to the shop and hand over the keys...which I cheerfully did with a yes sir, three bags full sir, anything you want sir...I walked back to the shop and my Dad told me to get in the car. I started to apologize and he just looked at me which was enough for me to know that he wasn't in a chatty mood at the moment.
Tuesday comes along, I've been dying inside...what's going to happen...are they going to suspend my ability to get a license until I'm 18 years old, is there going to weekend jail time, what in God's name is going to happen to me...we go to court, the judge hears the story...looks at both my buddy and I, and we looked very remorseful and then looks at both parents and says, boys will be boys, if you promise not to do this kind of thing again, I'll suspend sentence...I didn't know what that meant, all I knew was that the judge didn't say anything about no license until I was 18 and I never heard a thing about weekend jail time so I was good...My Dad on the other hand said to the judge, "that's it?" Now I'm thinking, Dad, I'm your son, don't throw me under the bus. The judge told my father that just because he suspended sentence didn't mean that my Dad had to.
OK jail on weekends doesn't sound to bad now...seeing that I worked for my Dad evenings and weekends anyway, how about I work evenings and weekends for free until the $175.00 required to repair the shop truck was worked off and he had a dozen trees that needed to be cut down, stumps removed and back filled with top soil that he would think I would be happy to do seeing he had to take time off from work to hear a judge suspend sentence. I agreed and felt the punishment fit the crime.
You know, when I think back, my Dad took it pretty good, at the time I thought my life as I knew it was over.

Yes SIR!
With out a doubt!
May 8th, 2009
This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," I'll discuss the situation in which Israel finds itself after the first week of May, 2009:
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has issued a new call for the destruction and removal of the Zionist 'germ.'
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich weighs in with his assessment of how U.S. President Barack Obama's policies are placing Israel in harm's way.
Israeli President Shimon Peres raises eyebrows when he declares that the new government of Binyamin Netanyahu wants peace with the Palestinians, but falls short of endorsing the magical "two-state solution." Then, President Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, shoots back that Israel must embrace the two-state solution or the West will not challenge Iran on the issue of nuclear weapons. In other words, "do it our way or else!"
A new poll taken among Israel's citizens suggests that a whopping majority of Israelis support a strike against Iran's nuclear facilities no matter what President Obama thinks. Furthermore, a huge majority -- almost 75% of Israelis -- like the United States, but two-thirds of them don't trust its new President (a dramatic change from the 75% who thought of George W. Bush as Israel's friend).
The new government in Israel is preparing for a confrontation with Iran. Air Force reservists assigned to the nation's missile defense system are now spending one day each week training to counter an attack from Iran with dozens of long-range Shahab missiles. But they're not the only ones 'war-gaming' a conflict with Iran. A study issued by the Center for Strategic and International Studies suggests that in such a conflict, Israel could suffer hundreds of thousands of casualties, but Iran would probably lose tens of millions! The report even notes that if Syria entered the fray, it could lose Damascus and millions of its citizens. Does that sound familiar?
But as dangerous and deadly as Iran appears to be, that threat pales in comparison to the one emerging from Pakistan. The possibility that the government of Pakistan could fall to the Taliban has the entire world taking notice. Radically extreme Islamic militants with their fingers on the button of 100 nuclear warheads is something nobody (not even other Islamic governments) wants to contemplate! But it may be chillingly close to becoming reality!
On a more positive note, I'll introduce you to our new website: The Hal Lindsey Report. We've been working on it a long time, and it's finally up and running! I think you'll find it to be a valuable resource as you navigate your way through these 'last days.'

This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," U.S. General David Petraeus says that al-Qaeda is moving its global operations base into Pakistan. Al-Qaeda, allied with a growing Taliban movement, poses an enormous threat to Pakistan's stability. That's a concern for the entire world because Pakistan has more than 60 nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them. Pakistan's President Ali Zardari paid a visit to Washington recently to ask for more money (on top of the billions we've already given them) to secure those nuclear weapons. That's what the previous billions were supposed to be used for!
Pope Benedict XVI visited Israel this week. Almost before his jet's engines were turned off, he demanded that Israel provide the Palestinians a state of their own. No kidding. While still standing on the tarmac, he said that the hopes for a secure future of "countless men, women, and children" depend on the Israelis and their concessions to the Palestinians. No pressure there!
King Abdullah of Jordan made the "Report" a second straight week. Once again, he's warning that war will come to the Middle East within 12 to 18 months if the Palestinians don't get a state -- and now! After putting a little pressure on President Obama -- he's generously giving him the rest of the year to solve the Middle East peace problem -- he graciously admitted that, unlike previous administrations, the Obama Administration "gets it." By that, he means that President Obama understands that what's needed is not a two-state solution, but a 57-state solution, i.e., the 57 states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Those are the world's nations that do NOT recognize Israel's existence. Abdullah is guaranteeing that if Israel cedes land within its borders to the Palestinians for a sovereign state, those 57 nations will welcome the Israelis with "open arms." Forget the fact that those 57 states CANNOT recognize Israel because of their Islamic theology, we'll apparently cross that bridge when we come to it. By the way, when Abdullah's father, King Hussein, controlled the West Bank (only 40 years ago), he didn't bother to give it to his Muslim brothers for a homeland. Yet his son and the rest of the Arab world want Israel to do now what they would not do then.
I know I've called your attention to this incredible act of treachery before, but I continue to be amazed at how precisely it's playing out again before our eyes. You know the story of how England's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, Germany's Chancellor Adolf Hitler, France's President Edouard Daladier, and Italy's "Il Duce" Benito Mussolini met in September, 1938, to carve up Czechoslovakia as a peace offering to Hitler's ambitions. The Czech President, Eduard Benes, was not even invited to the summit when the Munich Agreement was signed and his nation's fate decided. Of course, that act of appeasement lasted 11 months and 3 days. Hitler swallowed up the rest of Czechoslovakia, then invaded Poland and World War II was on! Recently, the Russians and the Americans began preparing a U.N. Security Council statement detailing how they plan to carve Israel into two states and bring peace to the world. It apparently makes no difference that the current Israeli government (and a majority of Israelis) rejects the two-state solution as a workable plan. Any normal human being with a modicum of common sense has to reject the nonsensical two-state solution! Unfortunately, we can all see where this is headed.
Well, it should surprise no one that the Obama Administration has finally violated the longstanding "don't ask, don't tell" policy. No, not the one concerning gays in the military, rather the decades-old policy concerning Israel's nuclear capabilities. Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller recently told a gathering that the U.S. government's goal is to get India, Israel, Pakistan, and North Korea to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. In the past, our government's policy has been to neither confirm nor deny Israel's possession of nuclear weapons. Apparently the new administration has decided to not only confirm that Israel has nukes, but to pressure them to admit it themselves and allow the rest of the world to inspect and control them. As if Israel needed more pressure and scrutiny. The uncertainty of Arab/Muslim nations as to whether or not Israel possessed nuclear weapons, and the size and scope of its arsenal and deployment, has served as an effective deterrent for many years. If America forces Israel to draw back the covers and reveal its secrets, it may place our ally into even more jeopardy. Its enemies are probably already drooling in anticipation of gaining that information.
Since Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is beginning to realize that he can no longer automatically count on the United States, he's looking for new friends. In fact, Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are being drawn together into an unlikely alliance to confront a common threat: Iran. Since the U.S. seems to be putting its eggs in Iran's basket, speculation as to how this will affect our relationship with Saudi Arabia and Egypt is beginning to swirl. It comforts me to know that President Obama will soon have the country purring along on his much-heralded alternative energy program, because if Saudi Arabia decides that the U.S. is Iran's new best friend, they just may decide to sell their oil to someone else (or cash in their U.S. Treasury chips!). We may be going 'green' sooner than we thought.
Finally, President Obama is planning to make a major address to the Muslim world from Cairo, Egypt, in early June. No one knows for sure what he's planning to say -- or apologize for -- but he's receiving advice from some pretty authoritative sources. The Organization for the Islamic Conference (Remember them? They're the 57 nations that do not recognize Israel's right to exist.) has published an open letter to the President. The letter seeks to inform him about the 'true' root causes of terrorism. Of course, an entire letter was totally unnecessary, they could have just summed it up in one word: Israel. However, the President probably doesn't feel like he needs the OIC's advice, he can just re-read an interview he gave to a newspaper called the "Chicago Defender" shortly after the 9/11 attacks. In it, he essentially says that terrorism is caused by the fact that Middle Eastern young men have no opportunities in life. They are angry about the poverty around them and they suffer under oppressive and corrupt regimes. The fact that these young men, from infancy, are inculcated by their religion with burning hatred for Jews, Israel, non-Muslims, Westerners, and other infidels obviously has nothing to do with it. Maybe his much-anticipated address will clear up that misunderstanding.

Iran's nuclear and missile programs have alarmed Israel, and the country's new prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, pressed Obama to step up pressure on Tehran when the two met in Washington on Monday. Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for Israel's elimination, and the Jewish state has not ruled out a military strike to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has successfully test-launched its new deterrent missile, Sejjil 2, pushing forward its long-term defense program.
The 2000-km-range surface-to-surface missile was launched in the central Iranian province of Semnan on Wednesday.
Unlike Iran's Shahab 3 missile, which burns a liquid, the new Sejjil 2 model is solid-fueled. This characteristic gives the missile greater deterrence power as it lowers the time needed to prepare for launch.
Sejjil 2, first tested eight months ago, is also more accurate than the Shahab 3.
In comments made days before the launch of Sejjil 2, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the missile was produced in line with Tehran's "deterrence policy".
"Our progress in this field is solely aimed at establishing peace and stability in the region. This technology will only be used against an enemy with ill intentions," he explained.
It is really down to the count now.
As soon as Israel opens up.
Like week after next?
This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," I'll discuss Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent visit to the White House. Though everything seemed cordial on the surface, President Obama remains insistent on the creation of an independent Palestinian state before he'll press Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Prime Minister Netanyahu appears to be equally insistent that Iran must stop its nuclear enrichment before a Palestinian state can be created. After all, it would be suicidal for Israel to allow another terrorist state to be created in its heartland while Iran is still calling the shots with Hamas and Hizbollah. Now that makes sense to us, but the Bible says that nations and people will abandon common sense in the last days.
Mahmoud Abbas has just installed a new Fatah government in the West Bank. The problem is that it was never duly elected. It's serving by presidential decree. And Abbas has postponed the overdue presidential election for the forseeable future. However, Hamas is the duly elected government of Gaza, so Fatah's sham government has no control or influence in Gaza. Yet the Obama Administration insists on dealing with Mahmoud Abbas as if he were the authoritative figure in Palestinian politics. They can't deal with Hamas because it is internationally recognized and condemned as a terrorist organization. More importantly, Hamas insists that it will never recognize Israel's right to exist and will continue to work for its destruction. But President Obama ignores the fact that even if he strikes a deal with Abbas, it will have no traction in Gaza and much of the West Bank. So what's the point? And that's precisely Netanyahu's point!
At last. President Obama's master plan for saving the economy is finally becoming clear. He explained it all at a recent town hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Its brilliance is beyond my simple understanding, but I'm doing my best to keep up. In a nutshell: President Obama says that the rate of our current deficit spending is "unsustainable." He says that we can't keep borrowing from China because the interest we'll have to pay is "mortgaging our children's future." He even said that it will "have a dampening effect on our economy." I'm with him so far. Even with my limited expertise, I can understand that. Though his comments make me feel like he's scolding me for my part in borrowing all that money from China, it helps me to know that President Obama knows what he's talking about. He's running up a $1.84 trillion deficit this year alone, so he has firsthand knowledge about deficit spending. What I don't understand, though, is the solution he's proposing. At the meeting, he went on to say that his administration will tackle the problem by shoring up the entitlement programs of Social Security and Medicare, and to make sure he does the job right, he's throwing in a $1.6 trillion health care plan on top of everything else. I have to confess that I'm a little confused about how all of this is going to work, but I do have to admit one thing: he promised change. And this isn't small change!
Speaking of change. We've come a long way at "The Hal Lindsey Report." On this week's edition, we make our first use of "special effects." My report concerns that old science-fiction favorite "Star Trek" and the Bible prophecies regarding the Kings of the East and the King of the South. Being somewhat of an old Trekkie myself, I asked our production staff to arrange something special -- and they did. In fact, it was so quick and painless, that I'm thinking of having them beam me onto the set each week! Just think of how much gas and commute time I'll save. But don't blink, or you'll miss it!
And don't miss this week's Report on TBN, Daystar, Inspiration (cable only), CPM Network, various local stations, The Hal Lindsey Report (Check it out, it's brand-new!) or HisChannel - Christian TV.
God Bless You,
Hal Lindsey

For those of you who have printed out and used the templates to make your armor, I have a small favor to ask of you. I don't really have a printer to use right now, and I'm a fair bit certain the computer lab administration would be ticked if I printed out sheets of paper armor.
I was just curious, what would you say the surface area of all the chest armor, back plate and shoulderpads be? It occured to me that because of my contacts in my old high school's robotics team I could get aluminum or even steel sheets for pretty cheap. I wanted to calculate how much that would weigh. Its probably going to be a fair bit, but I'm kind of ok with that. If anything, it'll get me to work out more.
It will also help me determine cost. I know it'll be more expensive than sintra or trash cans, but you can't argue with the cool factor of steel
Thanks everyone!

I'm not sure about training it that way but I feel like this is where "drop it/leave it" comes into play. Puppies put everything in their mouths i've come to learn...rocks, shoes, sticks, bugs, cats, hands, hair. When it comes to food though we don't ever feed Pike from the table or anything we are eating ourselves so even if something falls to the floor he doesn't seem to seriously care about it - and I think that's because we don't allow him "people food" so he has no interest.
I think leave it/drop it would be more successful for you- that way even if something is in his mouth that you didn't get to in time he will know to spit it out immediately. I accidentally used "let go" in the same manner when I was training in place of drop it and it works the same, he'll spit out whatever is in his mouth, even a toy that he knows is okay to chew. It's a handy phrase to train.
Hopefully that helped some. (:
Training question
I read somewhere that you can train your dog to not eat anything that you do not give them. I would like my dog to learn that but I am not sure how to train that. My dog picks up everything outside and eats it also a little girl fed her a raisin the other day that I had to frantically grab out of her mouth. Thought I would as if any of you have successfully done it and how?

Today I have been helping a friend to climb over the brick wall he had hit a while back regarding his Irish ancestors. There is so much more on the internet now that he, his wife & I thought we would see if we could extend his family tree back another generation or two.
To cut a long story short, this ancestor had been in the British Army Pay Corp for 21 years, he enlisted in 1896 in co. Cork. We found his army pension record on Ancestry and he states that he married in Kingston upon Thames in 1902 and had 4 children born from 1905 onwards. "That's not right" said my friend Wendy I've got a marriage certificate for that couple, they married in 1900 in Woolwich and they had a daughter in 1901.
We checked FreeBMD website and yes the couple married twice!!! Why goodness knows, but all we could think was that the first time had been without Army permission and to get his wife onto the army marriage list and therefore being paid a married man's rate he had to produce a marriage certificate. The one for 1900 wouldn't do as it would have him up on a charge with his senior officer for marrying without permission. So the only thing to do was get married again!!!
Anyone else come across this situation?

text: Watching Carolina Kostner perform "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun," I wondered how Angela Nikodinov's competitive program to that program would've turned out. She was planning to skate it at 2003 nationals before withdrawing after the short program. It was performed as a interpretive free at the Sears Open that season, I believe, but the competitive version has never aired. Ditto with Michelle Kwan's 2006 free skate to "Prelude in C Sharp Minor Op. 18" program. Many really wanted to see a full-realized free skate under COP (rumor was it included 2 Lutzes and 2 flips). Finally, Nicole Bobek reportedly had a free skate to "Titanic" planned in 1999. I'm not a huge fan of the music, but Nicole was such a powerhouse. Shizuka Arakawa had a great program to this in 2003. Any other programs that audiences have never seen?

Niagara junior Marvin Jordan's 3-point field goal with 2.8 seconds left in regulation time proved to be the game-winning basket in the visiting Purple Eagles' 66-65 victory over Canisius Sunday afternoon in front of a soldout Koessler Athletic Center. The potential game-winning shot from Canisius junior Billy Baron was waved off after an official review of video replay showed the ball left his hand just after the clock expired. Niagara improved to 13-8 overall and 9-1 in the MAAC with the win, while the Golden Griffins slipped to 13-8 overall and 6-4 in conference action.
Jordan led all scorers with a game-high 23 points in the victory for Niagara, which has now taken five straight from Canisius. He finished the day by going 9-for-18 from the field, 3-for-12 from 3-point range and 2-for-2 from the foul line while adding four rebounds and three steals. For Canisius, three players scored in double figures, led by junior forward Chris Manhertz, who posted his seventh career double-double with a career-high 17 points to go with 15 rebounds. Senior Isaac Sosa had 14 points and fellow senior Harold Washington added 12 points in the loss for the Blue and Gold. Baron was good for nine points and six assists, while junior Jordan Heath chipped in seven points, six boards and a block.
"This was a hard-fought game today," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "We had a good win at Rider [on Friday] and we knew coming into today that it was going to be a battle. They have some great athletes and to their credit, they got to the foul line and we did not. They stepped up and made some big shots and we had a few unfortunate turnovers at key times. Marvin Jordan really stepped up for them and hit that shot at the end and we just fell short."
With less than 30 seconds left in the game, the score was tied at 63-63. Billy Baron drove down the right side of the lane and laid one off the glass to give the Griffs a 65-63 lead with 11 seconds left on the clock, but Niagara answered when sophomore Juan'ya Green cut through the lane and found Jordan on the left wing. Jordan was able to rise up and get a shot over the out-stretched arm of Jordan Heath, and the ball hit nothing but net on the way through the hoop to give Niagara a 66-65 lead. On the ensuing inbounds pass, Baron raced down the floor and got off a shot from just in front of the Canisius bench as the final horn sounded. The shot hit nothing but net and was originally ruled a good basket, but after the officials looked at the video replay at courtside, they waved the basket off and Niagara walked out of the Koessler Athletic Center with the victory.
The Griffs led by as many as 10 points early in the second half at 39-29 after Baron drilled a jumped from just inside of the foul line with 17:08 left in the game. Jordan would score seven of Niagara's next nine points as the Purple Eagles got within four at 42-38 with 12:37 left to play. Senior Alshwan Hymes put the Griffs up seven at 45-38 with 12:18 on the clock. Canisius' lead remained around seven points for the next 3:49 before Niagara knotted the game at 51-51 with 7:05 left to play thanks to a 7-0 run, with Antoine Mason and Jordan combining to score all seven of Niagara's points in the spurt. Niagara took its first lead of the second half at 53-51 with 6:23 left in the game on a lay-up by Jordan, and a bucket by Green 22 seconds later pushed the Purple Eagles' hold to 55-51 with 6:01 on the clock.
In the game's final 5:33, neither team led by more than four points and there were five lead changes and three ties. The Blue and Gold took their four-point cushion at 63-59 thanks to a pair of free-throws by Manhertz and a two-handed dunk by Jordan Heath, but a jumper from Green and a Dunk by Niagara center Devon White in the span of 48 seconds knotted the game at 63-63.
Canisius shot 38.5 percent from the field, 32.3 percent from 3-point land and 62.5 percent from the free-throw line in the loss, while holding a 42-37 lead in the rebounding battle. Niagara shot 40.7 percent from the floor, 24 percent from 3-point range and 75 percent from the charity stripe and the Purple Eagles were able to score 19 points off 12 Canisius turnovers. Mason had 14 points for Niagara in the victory while Green chipped in nine points, five rebounds, eight assists and five steals in 35 minutes of action.
Canisius will continue its three-game MAAC homestand Thursday, Jan. 31, when the team plays host to defending MAAC Champion Loyola (Md.) in the Koessler Athletic Center. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. That game will be broadcast live on the Time Warner Cable SportsChannel.

text: Jeez lin, next time you have a birthday just ask for a Championship will you? Saw the game, and well: 1) Loved the first and mayb 3/4 of the 2nd quarter and the endgame. Great shooting in the first, guys going for rebounds, aggressive, hustling to loose balls, playing great D. Same for 3/4 of the 2nd quarter but let up near the half allowing Seattle to come back with our subs in. Can you say MELTDOWN? 3rd and 3/4 of the fourth. Aaaaaggghh. Constricting chest pain..... Thank you for Rip's ball movement and jumper. Instant offense. I know, I know, another jumpshot but hey, Rip's midrange J, I'd take over Kevin Durant's any day. 2) Billups and Tay deferred too much and ended up setting the tone for their games for the night. Quiet. And there goes Billups again barrelling into the lane without a plan, and was called for a charge on Thomas. I've never really liked that play.... 3) Rip = offense. Had some difficulty guarding Wilkins IMO. Got posted on often, but abuses him on the other side as well. 4) Sheed and Dice. Great game for both with good production and rebounds. 5) AJ. Looked active and well, new. But considering the time he's getting I'd say he looked really good. Not trying to force the game. Loved that rebound over Green, if I'm not mistaken. And the hustle. Nice work kid. 6) Nazr. You gotta give it to the guy. He is trying really hard. He's doing ok IMO, serviceable as a backup big man. We will need a center come playoff time. 7) JMax. Hang in there Brahma. The game will come to you. Take a page out of AJ's book. He should learn to shoot. But love the hustle. 1 part great, 1 part ugly. But a Win, nonetheless. GO DETROIT!

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va-- The women's lacrosse team opened its 2012 season with a hard-fought loss to No. 5 Duke, 17-13, Friday afternoon at Robins Stadium.
Richmond came out attacking, scoring the first two games in the first two minutes. Kara Moschetti lasered one home from a Claire Yackery pass to begin the game, while Tewaaraton Watch List nominee Mary Flowers scored unassisted to follow.
Duke would then go on a scoring flurry, tallying the game's next six goals, to take a 6-2 advantage with 18:24 left in the first. Richmond would cut into the Blue Devils lead with a Flowers free position to get to within 8-5, but Duke responded with four unanswered goals to give the Blue Devils the 12-5 advantage.
The Spiders tacked on two more goals before the half, one from Moschetti and another from Caitlin Fifield courtesty of a Flowers pass.
Duke came out in the second frame scoring three consecutive goals to take the 15-7 advantage with 28 minutes remaining in the game. The Spider defense controlled the rest of the game, only allowing the Blue Devils two goals the rest of the game. The Spiders outscored Duke 6-2 in the game's final 12 minutes.
Jennifer Zoltoski scored unassisted then Flowers followed from a Fifield assist one minute later to cut the lead to 15-9. Sam Stevenson scored from a Flowers pass three minutes later and freshman Bailey Zerr recorded an unassisted tally to slash the lead to 16-11 with 14:37 left in the game.
Duke added one more goal to make the advantage 17-11. Richmond closed the game with the final two goals, one by the hand of Stevenson, the other by way of Fifield from Stevenson.
Richmond outscored Duke 6-5 in the final frame and Victoria Roebuck recorded a game-high 16 saves in the net. Richmond also committed a game-low 11 turnovers. The Spiders led the ground ball category, 13-12.
Flowers recorded a hat trick, as did Fifield. Stevenson, Moschetti each added two goals. Three other Spiders followed with one goal apiece. Flowers led Richmond with two assists.
Richmond continues its homestand with No. 3 North Carolina, Sunday at 2 p.m. at Robins Stadium.

So my ESB Fett is just beginning to come together and I finally got around to cutting top of the T-visor out (I wanted to put it off for construction strength's sake) and I'm concerned that my helmet was improperly scaled! :cry I thought I would be able to put some foam in the top of the dome to help the bucket stand further up off my shoulders but the visor is already at eye level and I can't raise it up anymore...
So now lurking suspicions are coming back. I met some mando mercs at MomoCon and upon inspection of their helmets realized thier ear caps were much smaller than the ones I was busy scratchbuilding. I believe the guy said his was a Don Post. Are these cast any smaller than normal? Should I be worried? Do I need to start over? NOOOO!!!
Give it to me straight... or just talk me down from the ledge :wacko

No. 20 Softball Falls at No. 11 Louisville 5-1
April 3, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 11 University of Louisville softball team posted three runs in the second inning to grab a 3-0 lead and rode a strong pitching performance from junior hurler Caralisa Connell to defeat the No. 20 University of Kentucky softball team 5-1 on Wednesday at Ulmer Stadium in Louisville, Ky.
Kentucky (24-10) will return to Southeastern Conference action by traveling to South Carolina for a three-game series beginning Friday. First pitch Friday is set for 7 p.m. ET, followed by a 4 p.m. ET first pitch on Saturday and a 1 p.m. ET start on Sunday.
After the series, UK will return to Lexington to face Marshall on Tuesday, April 9 in a rescheduled game from an earlier rainout before a doubleheader at Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday, April 10. UK has a big weekend planned on April 12-14 vs. Florida as it will officially open the newly constructed UK Softball Complex. The weekend will feature numerous promotions to introduce UK fans to the new facility. Stay tuned to UKathletics.com for more information on the weekend's events. Admission to all games is free of charge.
Junior pitcher Lauren Cumbess started in the circle for Kentucky, throwing two innings, allowing two hits and three runs – all earned – with one strikeout. She was relieved to start the third inning by freshman Kelsey Nunley, who threw the final four innings of the game, allowing two earned runs on three hits with two strikeouts. Cumbess received the loss, falling to 6-3 on the year.
The Wildcats were led offensively by junior Krystal Smith, who drove home the lone Wildcat run with her second double of the season. The run was scored in the top of the sixth inning after freshman Sylver Samuel reached on an infield single, moving to second on a throwing error by the first baseman. After a groundout moves Samuel to third, Smith laced a double to right-centerfield to cut the Louisville lead to 5-1.
Connell was impressive in the circle for Louisville (29-6), throwing a complete game two-hitter, while striking out four UK batters. Connell, who earned the win to move to 19-2 on the year, kept the Wildcats hitless for five innings before Samuel and Smith got the rally started in the sixth. Kayla Soles led the U of L offensive attack, going 1-for-3 with a three-run homer. Senior Alicja Wolny and junior Hannah Kiyohara each had an RBI in the game.
The Cardinals took the lead first in the game, getting a three-run home run from Soles, her third homer of the season. The inning started with Cumbess getting a lineout to center, followed by a hit batter and a walk, setting the stage for Soles, who hammered a line drive over the wall in leftfield. Whitney Arion followed with a double to right-centerfield before Jasmine Smithson-Willett reached on a fielder's choice to put runners on first and second with one out. Katie Keller then hit a soft popup to shallow centerfield that went off the UK second baseman's glove but right to centerfielder Emily Jolly, who threw to third for a force out. Cumbess then got a groundout to end the inning.
Louisville posted two more runs in the fifth inning to increase its lead. Jordan Trimble started the inning with an infield single, followed by a triple to right-centerfield by Wolny, who was thrown out at the plate trying to score on a grounder by Maggie Ruckenbrod. After a groundout for the second out, Kiyohara singled to rightfield, scoring Ruckenbrod to give U of L a 5-0 lead. Nunley got a strikeout to end the inning.
Louisville leads the all-time series against Kentucky 18-13, including a 9-7 edge in the series in Louisville. The Cardinals have won eight straight home games in the series dating back to 2007, including two last season. U of L leads the all-time series in games played in Lexington 6-9. UK has played more games against Louisville than any other non-SEC team in school history.
Wednesday's game was the first of two scheduled games this season between Kentucky and Louisville. The Cardinals will travel to Lexington on Wednesday, April 24 for a 6 p.m. ET first pitch.

Fixed Income Q&A with Newfleet's CIO
Q: What is the difference between today's credit environment and the credit crisis of 2008 that triggered the "flight to quality?"
A: In 2008, there was dramatically more leverage in the system. In 2012, most Wall Street brokerages are affiliated with commercial banks, and their ability to use leverage has been reduced dramatically, from 15-times leverage multiples to the three-to-five-times range. Even though Wall Street was not taking on new inventory back then, massive maturities were coming due and there was absolutely no liquidity, so defaults catapulted to a much higher range. In terms of investment grade corporates, with rates at all time lows for the last 14 to 18 months, many companies have refinanced, and the debt maturity wall coming due is much smaller than it was – about an eighth of what it was in 2008, and about a quarter of what it was in 2002.
By comparison, today we don't have big debt maturities, fundamentals have been very positive, and Corporate America has been very resilient. Companies haven't spent additional dollars on capital expenditures or hired additional employees but have retained large cash balances. Corporations today versus 2008 have less leverage, better coverage ratios, and two to three times more cash on their balance sheets and are better able to weather the storm. From a corporate perspective, the market is much better positioned than it was in 2008.
Q: What are your thoughts on the Fed enacting a third round of quantitative easing ("QE3")?
A: Clearly, the market is looking for more quantitative easing. If there is a QE3, it will likely take the form of mortgage-buybacks as the Fed wants to keep mortgage rates low and foreclosures down. We wouldn't view any further Fed easing as constructive, just more kicking of the can down the road. There are a lot of bigger problems that need to be fixed in the economy than the housing market. Employment is the key to economic growth. Congress needs to address the fiscal cliff of austerity measures that will automatically kick in on January 1, 2013 so corporate America can get a handle on health care costs and taxation issues and start hiring again.
Q: When interest rates begin to rise, what fixed income sectors will likely benefit, and what sectors should investors avoid?
A: To this point, U.S. government assets have been beneficiaries of the Fed's easy monetary policy and asset buybacks. When interest rates eventually rise, U.S. Treasuries, both intermediate and long, will get slammed. Municipal bonds with long durations will also be penalized. Investors may want to exercise caution and not go too far out on the yield curve. TIPS will benefit from rising rates but since government assets usually lag other sectors, floating rate bank loans may be preferable to TIPS. Short duration bank loans offer higher yields and would benefit from any growth in domestic GDP. Also worth considering are foreign bonds, particularly emerging market countries where global growth should pick up, with a focus on dollar-denominated and local currencies.

2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Mike McLaughlin, ILB, Boston College
Without Mark Herzlich leading the Boston College linebacker corps during the 2009 campaign, many expected Mike McLaughlin to step up and pick up the slack. While there is no denying that McLaughlin has had a very productive career with the Eagles, he did not turn into the team's leader in the middle of the field during his senior year. Instead, a freshman did. It certainly did not help that Herzlich missed four games during the regular season, but the play of freshman Luke Kuechly has overshadowed the rest of the team, including McLaughlin. McLaughlin started playing a significant role on this team in 2007 after seeing spot duty as a redshirt freshman the previous year. Despite only starting three games, McLaughlin was fourth on the team in tackles with 64. As an upperclassman in 2008 he started all 14 games at middle linebacker and moved his tackle total up to 89. He also recorded 4.0 sacks and 12.0 tackles-for-loss. In 2009 those numbers dipped; McLaughlin only recorded 49 tackles and 1.5 tackles-for-loss during the regular season. His lack of production in 2009 has hurt his draft stock. While McLaughlin was still a leader on the team, he was not the producing player. Injuries are to blame for some of that, but he still has a lot to prove during Senior Week to work his way up to the mid-rounds of the draft.

Prediction: 5th Round
I have seen McLaughlin play many times in his career. He will surprise many with his athleticism. I saw him once hurdle a blocker to sack the quarterback. A team leader at BC. I think in a few years he will end up as a role player for someone and a special teams pro bowler.

This kid is a stud!!! Had a great season after tearing his Achilles. Everytime you watched BC's defense it seemed like he was always involved with the play. Also the kid is so athletic he kind of reminds me of like a Vrable style player where you could throw him in at Fullback & he'd be a beast. Watch out for this kid he his is going to be the hidden gem of the Draft. He is going to make one NFL team happy they drafted him

My husband was not raised around dogs either. Actually his family had a dog, but he was not allowed to pet or interact with it ( his family is full of personality disorders).
Anyway from watching him I know how awkward it could be for you at first. But you come across as a confident person and an openness to learn so hopefully your dog will respond to this and adjust positively while your husband being gone.
thank you! Its a learning process for us both. I was not raised around dogs and with my hubby being the primary care taker, I really had no involvement with her training. So far things have been going well! Its really just me making her training a priority among all the other stuff going on in our busy lives....however, when she actually listens and does what I say or acts polite it makes all the work worth it.
The last thing I want is a rude dog lol. Also, it helps people have educated me that 2 years old is still not fully mature in dog world. That was something I did not realize.

Now we are working at her listening to me and taking the "leave it" or stop barking commands and being a little more polite.
GSD's are not social butterflies, they don't need to approach other dogs or people and if others approach them, they usually aren't keen on interaction unless they know them.
Up your handling, let her know you are in control and redirecting her to you is perfect. If she needs a correction, make it a meaningful one, not a nagging one.
And praise her when she is good!

thank you for all the advice! When we first moved here, I had a terrible time finding a place that would even consider renting to us because German Shepherds are banned /aggressive breeds. I spent hours explaining to people she wasn't aggressive, so after the vet gave me that pamphlet I was kinda upset and questioning myself....if she really was or not.
I will say my husband and I went through everything that happened during her exam and are considering finding a new Vet. The vet tech did not appear to care for her very much from the start. As soon as "Lisa" walked in , Luna began barking a lot ( the lound deep bark) and "Lisa" looked very annoyed and at that point gave me the muzzle to put on her.. After the muzzle and both Lisa and I were holding her so the vet could examine instead of checking the areas under her belly and back legs where she had the skin allergy, she decided she wanted to check her anal glands.
Well Luna has never had this done before and personally I didn't see why we needed to do it right then, as she was stressed with the muzzle ( 2nd time she has even put one on and was pawing to get it off). Lisa and I had to hold her while the vet checked her glands....and Luna panicked trying to get away. She scratched the **** out of me and then started shaking and trying to hide behind me. End result was left gland was empty, right one was expressed, but vet said no signs of infection and she probably didn't need to come back to have it done again. I felt it wasn't the right time to do all this, as she wasn't having any complaints about emptying her anal glands.
Anyways, the Vet tech was extremely annoyed when we left, due to Luna continuing to bark at her. She didn't mind the vet, but really did not like this tech for some reason. SO that's how we got the pamphlet. However, other than the loud barking, she did not nip, bite, growl, snap or show aggressive posture other than the hiding behind me and trembling, but that was more fearful in my opinion than aggressive.
The it just so happened the next day was out visit to the dog park , where she DID snap and growl at the other dog, so my first thought was great....she really is aggressive and I have been ignoring it.
I bought training treats and practiced walking yesterday around the block. We didn't see any other dogs, but with people I made her sit until they passed. I think the backpack is an EXCELLENT idea to get her exercise. After my 12 hr shifts I try to get her about 45 min in throwing the kong and taking walks, but that sounds like it would be something new. I also looked up a dog trainer in the area that works with all breeds. If my work doesn't seem to be enough, I plan to call her to get some advice. and if anyone has any other suggestions I am always open to them.
As of right now, I think we are going to stay away from the dog park and find other outlets of exercise.
|David Taggart
This behaviour was conditioned by the fact that you moved. Dogs feel invaders in a new territory, and before they establish their regular "posts" for marking, before your house starts to bear her smell throughout, she would feel that she has to protect her rights to be in a new place. Very often they start behaving agressively towards second dog in the family, or family cat. To add "social alienation syndrome" (you say she didn't see other dogs for quite a while) and the picture becomes clear.
Don't change anything, it will take time for her to start feeling comfortable.
As for the other dogs, you are right, she is not a youngster any longer, she is in age when females start their own pack and may look at other dogs either as potential competitors, or as unsuitable partners. She would try to get rid of those around her, as it would happen in nature when a dog pack was formed spontaneously. Don't stay with her in the park, just walk through. If this park is close to you - it should feel a part of her own walking territory for her. You may meet someone with whom she might like and decide to make friends, so you can walk together instead.
|Harry and Lola
She is only 2yo and still has quite a bit of maturing to do. Generally once they have matured around to 3 to 4yo they calm down.
I have found GSDs are good in dog park situations when they are very young, as long as they have good experiences with other similar aged dogs and/or stable dogs, but once they get to around 1yo, they change and become assertive in what they will tolerate and what they will not tolerate.
You have done an excellent job so far in terms of socialising her. But now she is telling you that she is not interested or comfortable being around other dogs and she would prefer her own space and be with her pack members - you and your family.
It is very important to train her to ignore other dogs and people rather than encouraging her to play nicely. Keep away from the dog parks, unless there is no other dog there or dogs that are very stable and keep to themselves, find other ways to exercise her such as hikes, walking etc. Don't allow her to be around the dogs that want to get in her space and jump around her in a very excited manner - she is getting annoyed with them.
Don't be offended by someone offering you a brochure on dog aggression (some people are not good judges of dog behaviour), imo she is not aggressive she is a normal GSD girl that is growing up and has found her voice in terms of what she likes and doesn't like, however you must take control of her.
In terms of yours and your husbands work load and exercise, when working a 12 hour shift, when you get home take her out for a good 30 to 40 minute walk and put a weighted backpack on her. Backpacks can help dogs in a number of ways such as calming them down by giving them a job to do (carrying something) and tires them out due to the extra weight.
You will find once you ditch the dog park where there are over excited bad mannered dogs wanting to get in her space, take control of her and train her to focus on you and ignore other dogs that she herself will become more stable herself.
She doesn't need to play with other dogs to be fulfilled.
Dog parks are in general "not a good idea" and for this dog in particular! Post 8 has some links, you can read /view them and ask questions. ,
Thank you. Her skin problem has cleared up. She eats blue buffalo, but the past 2 times we have purchased the meat flavor, she has became very itchy and started chewing different spots. This past visit was actually just a re-check to see if everything cleared up. Unfortunately in the past she has had some negative experiences in the vet ( having to get an iv, blood works, shots and anal glands expressed which she HATED) so I know she associates it with nothing fun. However, its my husband that usually takes her, so she seemed to act up more for me.
Thanks for your response. I am def trying to find some dog training classes in our area. I hope that we can socialize her enough so she enjoys playing with other dogs again.
Other than the skin issues, is your dog healthy? Is your dog getting prednisone or some medication to make her uncomfortable?
Don't have much to say about the dog park, they just don't work for some dogs. My dogs have never shared the water bowl. Also since you were in the park first and alone, your dog may have felt protective/possessive of it. The younger dog may have shown bad puppy manners that your adult does not wish to tolerate anymore.
As for the barking, it almost sounds like she is trying to say "hello", get attention. My female is very vocal. Often if someone wants to meet her, I'll ask her if she wants to say "hello" and she barks, it is her greeting. Scary to people who don't know her. If I were you, I'd look into some group dog training classes so you can learn some skills on how to get the dog focus on you, ignore the other people and dogs, "leave it". I think being around other dogs in the class will give you the opportunity to desensitize her to being so stimulated and maybe fearful around other people and dogs.
Once you and your dog learn some strategies for dealing with the barking and reactions, then see if there is a dog hiking/walking group in your area. My dog learned good behavior from being around (hiking and walking) other well behaved dogs. When the dogs are into their smells and moving forward they tend not to be so focused on each other and seem less aggressive.
