The Champions League Group Stage draw pitted Arsenal with Montpellier, Olympiacos and Schalke.
In Euro Watch, we take a weekly check on the progress of Arsenal's European opponents in their domestic leagues.
Hoffenheim 3-2 Schalke
Saturday, November 3
Sven Schipplock's injury-time winner gave Hoffenheim victory over Schalke. Kevin Volland and Roman Neustadter exchanged goals in the first half, before Roberto Firmino's penalty saw the home side regain their lead midway through the second period. Atsuto Uchida equalised just eight minutes from time, but substitute Schipplock had the final say, converting after Vincenzo Grifo had set him up. Huub Stevens' side still occupy second spot in the Bundesliga, seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Troyes 1-1 Montpellier
Saturday, November 3
Montpellier were denied their third straight win by Fabien Camus' first-half leveller in Troyes. The visitors had taken the lead through Younes Belhanda after 19 minutes, but were pegged back by Camus' equaliser five minutes before the break. The result leaves Montpellier in 14th position, 10 points off the Ligue 1 summit.
Olympiacos 2-0 Ofi
Saturday, November 3
Goals in either half from Konstantinos Mitroglou and Paulo Machado fired Olympiacos to victory against Ofi. Mitroglou gave the hosts the lead three minutes before the break and Machado extended that advantage after 55 minutes. Olympiacos are still top of the Greek Super League, five points clear of nearest rivals PAOK.

I've been asking that question for several years. The Old-timers (older than me anyway) used to bring their hives inside their basements or rootcellars. I don't like the idea of heating them, I think its best to allow them to acclimate, which means "doing what ever you have the heart to do" to keep them alive. At least for the first few years as you learn and they hopefully survive. That's the "keeper" in beekeeper I've found out.thomas
I was under the impression that honeybees went to different tasks based on age and not based on their incubation temperature.
I got to ask, how does a 60 pound hive get blown over if it is only 18in high? Don't you set up a wind break for the prevailing winds (natural or otherwise)?

I did read one point
There were
also some arahant disciples who visited him, exchanging complimentary greetings.
Occasionally they showed him the manner of their passing away. These included those
who passed away within that cave and others who had passed away elsewhere. They
always gave him explanations with their demonstrations. The salient points of their visits
will be related below and the writer begs the forgiveness of the readers for any
deficiencies, which there certainly must be.

Very interesting passage, has there been other cases of people speaking to Arahants (after parinibbana)?

Molly from Dearborn asks:
I often search the Internet for images to post on Facebook, or exchange with friends, but I'd like to be able to edit them first. Do you have any suggestions?
That's a good question Molly, and ZoomInto offers an answer. ZoomInto is a free and lightweight browser add-on, designed to quickly edit and post Internet .jpg images. When they're ready to go, the images can be saved, emailed, or sent directly to a favorite social networking site.
Note: Please remember that all posted images belong to someone, and many are copyrighted.
Installation is easy. Just go to http://zoominto.com/ [1] and click the orange Free Download button next to your favorite browser. Video instruction is also available on the download site.
For this article, it was installed in Internet Explorer 9.
In IE, if ZoomInto doesn't start automatically, the add-on may have to be enabled. To do that, select Manage add-ons from the Tools menu.
In the Manage Add-ons window, select Toolbars and Extensions and, if the status of Zoominto is Disabled, click the Enable button in the lower right corner.
To begin the editing process, scroll the cursor over a web image, and click the little (and somewhat annoying) magnifying glass icon in the upper left corner of the image.
If the icon doesn't appear, right-click on the image and select Zoom Into from the menu.
Either will open the editor, where tools can be found above the image. Below, Text was selected from the Create menu.
Type a message into the text box at the left and select font, size, and style. Then click the Go button. Once text is added, simply click on it to open the Text Properties box to edit the text further. While Text Properties is open, text can also be dragged around the image. Click OK once the edit is complete.
Options from the Edit menu are displayed below. I recommend taking some time to play around here. My experimentation required frequent use of the Undo button.
Navigation tools are found at the bottom of the screen. Zoom in and out with the slider, or by clicking the plus and minus signs. Move around the image with the arrows, by dragging the image itself, or by dragging the highlighted section within the navigation window.
Once editing is done, the image can be saved to your computer, printed, or shared.
When sending an image, a dialog box will appear, requesting a photo name. Depending on where the image is being sent, further requests will appear in a subsequent dialog box (signing into a social network, etc.).
If you're fortunate enough to have an audience to whom you'd like to express gratitude for their remarkable patience, that sentiment can be saved, uploaded, and shared with them.

Bringing the 'First Lady of Leadville' to life
August 21, 2012
The town of Vail Public Library will host the Colorado Humanities Speakers Bureau program, "Augusta Tabor: Colorado Pioneer" with Mary Jane Bradbury at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the library's fireside lounge. The presentation is free and open to the public.
Few women came west with the first wave of the gold rush to the Rockies. Augusta Pierce Tabor was one of those remarkable women who travelled west and kept her family through years of hardship in the frontier mining camps. The Tabor name was destined to become well known in Colorado. Many would consider Augusta's story a mere footnote to the more well-known and scandalous saga of Silver Baron Horace Tabor and his second wife, Baby Doe. Hardly insignificant, Augusta Tabor was a pioneering businesswoman with a heart of gold and a generosity that is legend. A wife, a mother, and often called the First Lady of Leadville, Augusta's story is one of adventure and discovery in the magnificent Rocky Mountains. Program participants will have the opportunity to ask Augusta questions about her life at the end of the program.
Bradbury is a scholar and actress who brings history to life for audiences of all ages in the Rocky Mountain region. She teaches for the Colorado Humanities and is an historic interpreter for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Partial funding for the Speakers Bureau program is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Yay I got a quality post in this thread =)
And here I was thinking my art went unnoticed.
YAY! The unknown contents of that first Bundles of Clones has been haunting my dreams!
Btw, guys, even though the TV had some pretty obvious wear and tear, its picture and sound are excellent (much better than my previous TV). Coincidentally, Philips is my favorite TV brand, so great selection Woot!
Very nice! I bought a 42" 1080p Philips off of woot! about 2.5 years ago for $500. Still my main TV today and I haven't had a single issue. Congrats!
congrats on your haul
Congratulations, ssiemonsma. That's some awesome crap.
Just received my 2nd and final package for this round of crap.
In Total:
1x Tron Fathead
1x Blue Duffel Bag
1x Convertible Wine Tote
1x Zombie Motel Shirt (Women's Large)
1x Sweet Honey Body Soap
1x Orbital Lounger!!
My response to your crappo de baggo ..... hopefully you've seen How I Met Your Mother, if not then... well it's still funny... Anyway I'm very very jealous and envious of your amazing bag, congratulations on scoring so big! Hopefully one month/year I'll get something that awesome too.

Now you can lay in that and ponder until the next crap!
Nice! Definitely worth the wait!!! Congratulations!
I was actually hoping ssiemonsma's Bundles of Clones was going to be a pallet of about 100 random items all plastic wrapped together.
As they say in Grumpier Old Men, "Well, you can wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which gets filled first." In our case it turns out to be crap hand, but isn't that what we are wishing for?
Congrats on the most excellent Bundles of Clones ssiemonsma!
Looks like this time being first really paid off :D

There should be a way to flip the video around. I know you can change incorrect aspect ratios by adding special tags, my guess is you can do the same to flip it. Or try editing the video?
If you felt like re-uploading it, you could use a simple free editing program like Windows Live Movie Maker to fix it!
Or just make everyone turn their computers upside down =).
Well, I watched @ssiemonsma's (congrats by the way!) unboxing video and then I realized, what if Woot snuck something into my Mobile DVD Center. Okay, shame on me.. I haven't opened to DVD player yet because I thought... heck, it looks pretty new initially so maybe no surprises in there.. LESSON LEARNED.
And to my surprise, there WAS SOMETHING IN THERE! D:
So like, at first it looked like an unopened player.. but when I checked the DVD slot.. there was a DVD in side it.
Pictures below:
A Kathy Smith Ab-Lifer Plus DVD?!
I plugged in the player to outlet, it works!
What the heck was I watching? I had to close the doors to my room just in case my mom was thinking I was watching something bad on the screen.
And the question boggles me... what would an Ab-lifter DVD be doing in a player that's meant for some place like a car?! LOL.
Best gag-item I ever got.. so far. Intentional, or not. Thank you WOOT GODS.

After seeing (and winning!) today's Brick of Carbonite in the Woot-off, I realized I'd never posted my haul from the last one, so here it is.
Nothing earthshaking, or even mildly unique, but I'm pretty happy with it:
1 Hydrangea re-usable shopping bag
1 Intec WII-G5620 Wii Fit Rechargeable Battery Pack and Cable
1 Jerzee's t-shirt, blue, L (my size!)
1 Kindle case
Demon kitty was not included, he lives here.
The bag goes right into the pile of shopping bags and the shirt will fit and be worn. Maybe I'll print out a Woot "!" on a shirt transfer. We do have a Wii Fit, but it doesn't see much use. The Kindle case will most likely be sold.
Thanks Colonel Crap!
This was a 2lb., 12x9x9 box. It arrived 5/7, two days ahead of the original schedule.
You were right! too bad I was away from the computer for the entire day =( Will have to rearrange my schedule tomorrow

You have announced today that the Club has made a profit of £36.6 million. What are the key headlines?
Firstly, that the Club is in a healthy financial position. The important thing to keep emphasising is that we exist, first and foremost, as a football club not a business. The reason we talk about the financial results at all is that it provides the platform for us to be successful on the field. This is a healthy set of financial results once again. We are in a good position and we can look forward with confidence that our manager has the funds to drive the Club forward and we will continue to be successful in the future.
I understand there is £153 million in the bank. How much is available to spend on the team?
Obviously at over £150 million that is a big cash balance. Not all of that is available to spend on the team. In fact most of it is not. This is the high point of our year in terms of cash position. It is when we have all the season ticket revenue in. We use those funds throughout the year to pay our expenses, including player wages. But it is a very healthy cash position and we do have money to spend as and when the manager feels it will push the squad forward. But it is nothing like £150 million.
How would you assess the commercial position?
We are in a really healthy commercial position. Growing these revenues has been a major aim of ours and we have made good progress. In the year we are reporting, commercial revenue with retail went above £50 million and that is the first sign that our commercial side is beginning to reap some reward. Since these results, we have announced some new partnerships but commercial revenue is growing at a healthy rate, above our expectations. And we have the renewals of our two major deals - our shirt sponsor and kit supplier – in the next year or two. That will push us forward so it is a good set of results on the commercial side
Looking ahead. there are those deals and the new broadcasting revenue is yet to kick in so what position might the Club find itself in two years from now?
Well we've been on a long and sometimes challenging, 10-year journey, which involved taking the Club into a new stadium and really providing it with the platform to be one of the world's leading clubs. Along the way, that's had some challenges. We've been restricted to some extent, in the revenue that we have available through the process of the move. The world also changed in ways that nobody really expected – in terms of the spending power of clubs like Chelsea or Manchester City coming in. It's been a challenging journey for us but we're reaching the end of the stadium move. The last phase of that is the renewal of our commercial deals and our stepping forward as a really global football club as you've seen us touring in recent years. As we look ahead, in the next year or two, we're going to see the Club developing its revenue streams very rapidly and really stepping into the elite group of world clubs. That's really what the stadium move has all been about. So I think this is a really positive period of time for the Club. As we look forward over the next five years, I think fans can be really optimistic about the future.
It also seems that Financial Fair Play will come into play both in Europe and here in the Premier League?
Financial Fair Play is in place in Europe and the first year of enforcement will be next summer. I think UEFA is giving every indication that it will enforce those regulations quite strictly. There's a tremendous movement among the Premier League clubs in favour of better financial regulation domestically within England. We've already seen the Football League move to a Financial Fair Play system and there are serious discussions at Premier League level among the clubs to find a way that we can create an environment that is more sustainable for all of those clubs and healthier for football and better for fans. I expect that that will yield some positive results for the league over the next months.
And on the pitch Ivan, the team has shown an extremely positive start to the season?
I think we've got a really nice blend of experience and youth. We've still got a very young squad but there is some steel to the squad as well – and some real experience and knowhow. We've got a fantastic team spirit – the unity is tremendous among the players. Beyond that, the unity between the players and the fans is stronger than it's been in a long time. Our traveling support, as always, has been magnificent and, here at the Emirates, it's been a tremendous feeling of unity and of people getting behind the team. There's a real sense of optimism about this season ahead, and a real sense of unity.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
probably this topics over? Gotta get last word!
Yep, I hear ya. I guess I was tryin to highlight the bright side for new folks. Fact is, there's a lot of hard work, dedication, unpleasant situations, yelling, and EFFORT involved in getting going in the sport. A high level of intelegen e and dedication is expected. All real racers have spent lots of money and time to do well and compete. Some guys are dicks on the course. OK, lots of guys.
Most of the "dickness" is a result of frustration due to these guys own
ineptitude at running their boat well.
Still newbies are wanted. Again, what's needed is dedicated folks that will commit, learn, work hard, and contribute to the effort to win races.
Of course, there are "fun" races available too - for the true newbie. Ask around and you will find what you're looking for.
If involved in real racing always think. Always think "FAST.". Always think "can I do anything to go faster?". As puddin said, learn from the experienced (and pick your teachers). Also , along puddins ideas?, you gotta read the guys and the situation and not burden them with things that aren't relative at the time. After all, all those guys are thinking FAST!
Max Boatspeed
Another tid bit, for the owner, the race started at end of last season to get the boat prepared for the next season. Your race starts at the moment you show up on the dock, and ends when the skipper is happy how the boat is put away. Good racers show up an hour before 'dock call' to record wind pressure and shifts.
Another tip, don't get upset if the skipper turns out to be a d!ck. Lots of egos on the race course, do NOT take it personal.
My first race was on a C&C 35 down in the southern Ches bay. I had to drive 3.5 hours to get there and 3.5 hours back. I didn't care one bit about the drive, I had a ride.
So was just thinking about the last post and about things NOT to do on a race boat.
Don't ask questions.
Don't be pro active.
Don't be attentive. This one's difficult. Lot's of examples... light air, you continue sitting on the windward rail, and when you do move, you move like an elephant on crack. You're the mast person, the spin trimmer asks for pole tip up. You don't listen or care enough to level the butt end of the pole until asked 3 or 4 times. You're sitting on the rail and don't call puffs and waves for the driver and main trimmer. It's light air again. The trimmers are working their butts off to make the boat go. You're asking them if they caught American Idol last week. You don't take occasion to look up the course to see what other boats are doing. Are they lifted? headed? Wind velocity changes? You don't ask who you're main competition is, nor are you ever aware where they are. You've sailed on the same ride for 3-4 seasons, and you don't know any other position on the boat because you don't take opportunities or have the desire to learn them, etc... The list is long, and some of the above assumes that you already have experience.
If you don't, what should you do? Listen intently to everything. Make notes after the race. Think about where you've been and what you've heard. Ask more experienced crew and or the skip plenty of "why?" and "how?" after the race. Sitting on the rail is only boring if you're not using it as an opportunity to learn. Help rig and de-rig the boat. Sure, you're bound to make a mistake, but have regular crew check you're work. Hammering it home, keep your eyes and ears open. Concentration is worth more than raw talent, and often even more than much greater experience. Work hard at learning to anticipate what's going to happen and when. This is very important for everyone, but if you have ambitions to learning bow, this is what makes you THE bowman as opposed to A bowman. I'll stop here by giving the quick example of a friend who only started sailing a season ago. She asks loads of questions on the rail. She's not trimming during races (yet... this is a very competitive boat with a deep talent pool), but asks about what to watch and what we're looking for. She regularly volunteers for deliveries and takes them as an opportunity to do jobs and put into practice things she might not yet do during a race. She's very proactive and has developed a very nice 'boat sense'. Something needs to be done and it's within her reach, she does it. She asks about tactics while she's on the rail. It's a joy to sail with her even though she's the least experienced. When I think of "how to be good crew" without having decades of experience, she's it.
Lapworth ( and other new racers),
Cool you're wanting to start sailboat racing. The good news is that you're in! Sounds like you have a ride on an active race boat. Boats want newbies.
Here's the only catch:
You gotta care and you gotta show up. You can get info from your local sailing YC/club.
Yep, every skipper would love to have crew that are experienced, strong/athletic, dedicated, devoted, attentive, proper weight, smart, badass boat monkeys. Fact is, all you need to do is commit. I think there is alwYs someone looking for crew. These guys are experts at reading crew and are looking for someone that wants to really try hard and show up to every race.
Skippers need to fill a position. There are lots of positions that are mostly shifting weight and not going OB.
Some events are not going to have room for crew with no experience. For each of those races, there are 10 that you can get in on. Walking the docks and asking around is all part of it. Club racers welcome inexperienced guys that are enthusiastic about getting involved in the sport they love.
If the first boat you race on isn't for you, try again.
Welcome to the sport.
|So, where are you located?

You can sail almost 7 days a week in annapolis. Send an email to APS and ask about local racing. They offered me a ride sight unseen for their friday night series.
APS = annapolis performance sailing.
Annapolis yacht club is another place to walk the docks. Bring some beer and you'll catch a ride. The people who practice in the "off season" are the boats that have regular crew and don't really need extra bodies.

|Maybe I jumped the gun but I just dont understand word on the street is that everyone wants you too come out and practice. Well I just thought we where running out of practice time and that the season was ready to kick off. Thanks zz I am up near Annapolis and I already offered to do the Down the Bay Race with you, I was looking for some local weekday races near Annp. I would race my own boat but it isn't fitted very well and I have no idea how to Start. I was hoping to learn the rules of racing this year on others boats and then maybe fix mine up down the road for racing. I'll keep looking too crew I just hate waiting by the pier makes me feel like a stalker.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Carolina track and field alum Reggie McAfee will be honored at the Joe Hilton Invitational at Irwin Belk Track on the campus of the University of North Carolina on April 13th with the McAfee Mile in recognition of the 40th anniversary of his becoming the first African American to break the four-minute mark of the mile.
"I am delighted that Mr. McAfee has accepted our invitation to celebrate this wonderful anniversary with us here at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on the Irwin Belk Track," said head coach Harlis Meaders on Monday, "Mr. McAfee's accomplishment of being the first African American Runner to run under four minutes in the mile was a historic event. He has continued to be a pioneer and a leader throughout his life. In his professional career he was a national leader and his personal career he continues to be a champion for children's health and fitness. He is a man of outstanding character and resolve committed to the community and the pursuit of excellence in all that he does. He is a true Tar Heel."
In 1973 while competing as a student-athlete at UNC, McAfee ran his first sub-four mile at the Big Four Meet in Raleigh, N.C., finishing behind teammate Tony Waldrop with a time of 3:59.3. McAfee went on to win the mile with an identical 3:59.3 time at the ACC Outdoor Championships the following week. He still ranks second all-time in the UNC record books for his feat in the mile.
McAfee was a four-time ACC champion, in the indoor mile, the indoor 1,000 yards, and twice in the outdoor mile, and as a four-time All-America as he finished second in the indoor mile in 1972 and 1973 and third in the outdoor mile in 1972 and 1973 at the NCAA Championships.
He still holds the UNC school record for the outdoor 800 and ranks second in five other school records for the indoor and outdoor marks.
McAfee was a bronze medalist at the World University Games in 1973 and a finalist in the 1972 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 1,500. He has been inducted into the Hall of Fame in Ohio for his high school achievements and into the Brevard College Athletics Hall of Fame and Carolina track and field's Hall of Honor.
In 2006, McAfee started the organization Cross-Country for Youth, a unique fitness program that introduces young people to cross country training, competition and character-building concepts to develop individuals. The program has over 300 students and was established in partnerships with Charlotte area schools, the Communities in Schools foundation, Mecklenburg Parks and Recreation centers and several other community organizations to provide classrooms for curriculum portions of the program.
"It has been a dream of mine to take a more holistic approach to training young people in cross-country," McAfee said. "I believe we must plant the seeds of good character for our youth and allow God to do the rest. Our goal is not to have students to only be great runners but great people."
The character development concepts of Cross-Country for Youth include integrity, respect, sportsmanship, responsibility, perseverance and teamwork.
"The cross-country concept Reggie McAfee has for middle school aged children is simply fantastic," said Jim Beatty, a UNC graduate and former Tar Heel stand-out who was the first in the world to run under four minutes indoors. "In an era when we as a society are concerned about the extremities of weight/obesity and anorexia, Mr. McAfee is establishing the starting line for a healthy lifestyle. This program will become a model for the President's Council on physical fitness."
On April 6, 2013, CCY was named the winner of the National Student-Athlete Day Giant Steps Award in Community Organization from a national pool of nominees. McAfee's former teammate Waldrop, who now serves as the provost and executive vice president of the University of Central Florida, nominated the organization for the award given by the National Consortium of Academics and Sports.
"One of my favorite quotes is from Luke 12:48, which states, 'For unto whom much is given, much is required,'" said McAfee, "I was blessed to compete in athletics at the highest level for which I'm grateful. So, it's important that I give back and make a difference in the lives of others."
McAfee has held various positions with Xerox Corporation for 27 years. In 1999 he earned the President's Club Award in recognition of becoming the top sales specialist in the United States for the company.
An active member of the Charlotte community, McAfee is a charter member of the 100 Black Men of Greater Charlotte, a past chairman of both the Board of Deacons and the Board of Directors at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, and is a current advisory board member of Parent University in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system.
McAfee earned his bachelor's degrees at UNC after earning an associate of arts degree at Brevard College. He also has a master's in finance from N.C. Central.

PINEHURST, N.C. - Tennessee men's golfer Oliver Goss is on track to become the first amateur since Matt Kuchar (1988) to achieve low amateur status at both the Masters and US Open in the same year.
On Thursday, Goss got one step closer to accomplishing that goal after shooting a first round score of 71 (+1). The Australian registered two birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey at the Pinehurst No. 2 course. Goss will enter the second round tied for 36th place, six strokes behind the leader.
"In a normal round you'd think one-over wouldn't be playing very well but this course is pretty tough and the green complexes are pretty difficult so I am pretty happy with one-over," Goss said. "And I still left a couple out there so there is still room for improvement."
Much like his Masters success, Goss will seek to make the US Open cut Friday when he tees off at 2:09 p.m. (ET). The US Open cut is typically the top 60 scores plus ties.

For Exercise, Nothing Like the Great Outdoors
June 28, 2017,
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is bleeding in the area between the brain and the thin tissues that cover the brain. This area is called the subarachnoid space.
Hemorrhage - subarachnoid
Subarachnoid hemorrhage can be caused by:
Subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by injury is often seen in the elderly who have fallen and hit their head. Among the young, the most common injury leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage is motor vehicle crashes.
Risks include:
A strong family history of aneurysms may also increase your risk.
The main symptom is a severe headache that starts suddenly (often called thunderclap headache). It is often worse near the back of the head. Many persons often describe it as the "worst headache ever" and unlike any other type of headache pain. The headache may start after a popping or snapping feeling in the head.
Other symptoms:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
Signs include:
If your doctor thinks you have a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a head CT scan (without contrast dye) will be done right away. In some cases, the scan is normal, especially if there is only been a small bleed. If the CT scan is normal, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) must be done.
Other tests that may be done include:
The goals of treatment are to:
Surgery may be done to:
If the patient is critically ill, surgery may have to wait until the person is more stable.
Surgery may involve:
If no aneurysm is found, the person should be closely watched by a health care team and may need more imaging tests.
Treatment for coma or decreased alertness includes:
A person who is is conscious may need to be on strict bed rest. The person will be told to avoid activities that can increase pressure inside the head, including:
Treatment may also include:
How well a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage does depends on a number of different factors, including:
Older age and more severe symptoms can lead to a poorer outcome.
People can recover completely after treatment. But some people die even with treatment.
Repeated bleeding is the most serious complication. If a cerebral aneurysm bleeds for a second time, the outlook is much worse.
Changes in consciousness and alertness due to a subarachnoid hemorrhage may become worse and lead to coma or death.
Other complications include:
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Identifying and successfully treating an aneurysm can prevent subarachnoid hemorrhage.

LITHONIA, GA -- A&M Equipment Sales has launched a novel service for vending operators: a series of podcasts dealing with a variety of subjects interesting to vending managers.
Each Vending Business Show podcast is a 10-minute interview on a nuts-and-bolts topic -- organizing warehouse space and delivery vehicles, marketing at individual machines and providing post-sale care to new and existing clients, among other themes. They are available for download from A&M's blog site. Go to:
» amequipmentsales.com/blog
» amequipmentsales.com/blog/category/vending-business-show
No signup or registration is required and visitors need not provide their email addresses.
"We believe the Vending Business Show is the first of its kind," said Joe Nichols, owner of A&M. "Any vendor can download our podcasts and in 10 minutes or less learn from industry experts how to service customers, build loyalty and increase revenues. They can download in the evening and listen as they travel to customer sites, so there's no downtime for the education."
Nichols said the specific industry expertise covered in the program would normally cost thousands of dollars to operators.
A&M Equipment Sales has been a family-owned and operated business for more than 40 years. Originally an operating company, it now is a distributor of new vending equipment, currency changers and condiment stands, as well as a service center and dealer in used machines, with an international clientele.

...Should I just feed dry sugar on newspaper on the top bars? Thanks,
I would go with a candy frame and hope the bees can move horizontally. That is a drawback to TBHs in cold climates. Bees naturally move up to stores that get warmed by their heat as it is above them.or go with a feeder right next to the cluster that they can get to without breaking.
Could either of these feeders be used to help keep the comb straight?
If I used the candy boards. Would I still need to provide syrup?Also; If I painted a thin layer of honey on the candy board, would that help anchor the package bees?

"Enhanced" counseling, support interventions slash long-term risk of depression among AD caregivers
Short-term intensive counseling in conjunction with readily available support can significantly reduce the long-term risk of depression among husbands and wives caring for spouses with Alzheimer's disease. The positive impact of these interventions continued for more than 3 years after the initial counseling sessions ended and persisted even after those with AD died or were placed in nursing homes, according to a study supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health.
The findings by Mary Mittelman, Dr. P.H. and colleagues at the New York University (NYU) School of Medicine in New York City appear in the May 1, 2004, issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry . The study was conducted at the NIA-supported NYU Alzheimer's Disease Center, one of 29 such centers across the U.S. devoted to AD research and care. Dr. Mittelman's work also was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, another component of the NIH.
"Alzheimer's disease affects the whole family, not just the patient. This research offers striking evidence that distress and depressive symptoms in family caregivers can be effectively eased and that the benefits can be sustained over a long period of time," says Sidney Stahl, Ph.D., of the NIA's Behavioral and Social Research Program.
Dr. Mittelman and her colleagues followed 406 participants in the NYU Spouse-Caregiver Intervention Study, the longest-running study of an intervention for family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease. Half of the spouse-caregivers, randomly assigned to an "enhanced" counseling group, participated in two individual and four family counseling sessions soon after enrolling in the study. They also attended weekly support groups. After the initial period of intensive counseling, the caregivers and their families were encouraged on an ongoing basis to contact counselors to help them cope with crises and other issues related to caring for someone with AD.
A second group of spouses was assigned to receive the usual support services for families of AD patients at the Center. Unlike those in the enhanced treatment group, these spouses did not receive formal counseling and their family members did not have contact with the counselors. Beyond receiving information about resources, the caregivers in the "usual" care group could, if they chose, participate in support groups and use the crisis counseling. Both groups of spouse-caregivers were followed regularly until 2 years after the death of their husband or wife, or until participation in the study ended.
Symptoms of depression were compared over time between the two groups. When they began the study, the two groups showed comparable levels of depressive symptoms. But after 1 year, 29.8 percent of caregivers in the enhanced treatment group had symptoms of clinical depression compared with 45.1 percent of those in the usual care (control) group. Significant differences in the mean number of symptoms were found through the third year of follow-up. The difference between the two groups gradually diminished over a 5-year follow-up period.
"The sustainability of these effects shows that an individualized program of counseling and continuing support is a potent intervention," Dr. Mittelman says in her paper. "While support and information are essential, if used in isolation they are insufficient for caregivers and their families."
AD is an irreversible disorder of the brain, robbing those who have it of memory, and eventually, overall mental and physical function, leading to death. It is the most common cause of dementia among people over age 65, affecting an estimated 4.5 million Americans.
"While we work to untangle the complex biology of this disease, this important finding may provide a foundation for developing comprehensive support for families and caregivers to help them through these stressful times," says Creighton Phelps, Ph.D. Director of the NIA's Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers Program.
For more information on AD research, as well as on biological, epidemiological, clinical, and social and behavioral research on AD, several publications are available from the NIA including: 2001-2002 Alzheimer's Disease Progress Report and Alzheimer's Disease: Unraveling the Mystery, which includes a CD-Rom animation of what happens to the brain in AD. Caregiver Guide: Tips for Caregivers of People with Alzheimer's Disease from the National Institute on Aging also is available. These publications may be viewed at NIA's AD-dedicated website www.nia.nih.gov/alzheimers, the Institute's Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral (ADEAR) Center, or by calling ADEAR at 1-800-438-4380.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Knowing that your husband was playing ball with the dog, I can tell you how my dog would react. He does not want people petting him when he's 'working' (i.e. fetching, obtaining, having that glorious round object). He gets impatient if I even stop to pet him. He's independent and doesn't really care about praise or pleasing you, sadly. When he's in ball mode, that's all he cares about. He'll follow any commands, just so you throw the dang ball. He doesn't want a pat as a reward .. eh, nope.
No offense…but a dog shouldn't be growling or acting aggressively (even as a show) towards perfectly friendly people. It's a joke to think those are some sort of K9 instincts. They aren't, they're terrible. I have approached my city's K9 on many occasions (he's a neighbor) and the dog doesn't even raise an eyebrow.
In OP's situation, there just isn't enough information to tell how the dog is feeling. Truthfully, if your dog is actively avoiding people, I'd assume it was apprehension and avoidance. The dog isn't comfortable, it is trying to get away from the situation and showing a lack of confidence. Again, not saying this is what OP's dog was doing, but that's what I would think of a dog that was backing away from someone and not just holding their groud. A truly aloof animal would just stand there. It wouldn't care if someone came up to it or they didn't. It wouldn't make any aggressive show towards a friendly person, it also wouldn't back away and actively try to get away from people.
Without being there, no one can tell you 100% what your dog was feeling. If more than a few of the dog park patrons told you it was apprehensive, I wouldn't discount them. Statistically, at least of few of those people are probably decent at reading dogs. You really have to see how your dog is moving away from the person, his ears, his tail, a lot of things tell you what he's feeling. And it's unlikely you'll be able to recall that stuff without being biased and trying to make it so that your dog wasn't apprehensive.
|I can relate with a lot of the examples that have been given so far. In summary it puzzles me how some people either willingly or un-willingly bypass the dog's behavior and proceed to petting. I had an older gentleman who was fascinated at my dog and immediately went to try to open his mouth and admire his teeth! fortunately my dog is well manner and just pulled away, but had he tried that with my female dog I would have had to wrestle her off him and as mentioned the dog would have paid the price even though the human violated the animal's space and trust.

Does checking in really mean he was uncomfortable? He usually does this hiking and even in the house sometimes if were all in different parts of the house. I just thought he was keeping tabs on us.
He is trained and listens well. While I know anything is possible, he's obedient and well mannered.
You have to watch not only your dog but other dogs. Packing up, playing rough meaning grabbing neck hide, humping or a pack circling another dog among other things are signs of pending trouble. Usually due to owners not tending their dogs. Some owners think it's alright until it's too late. I watched in amazement as a group of dogs circled a poor husky nipping to the point they were pulling clumps of hair off the dog. The owners just stood there looking at it like, "glad it's not my dog" and the owner of the Husky was in shock. Finally one of the owners went over then they all went over and grabbed their dogs. Husky wound up with a torn ear and missing fur. I had another dog get snippy with Cruz and I stopped it dead in it's tracks. When it gets like this, I leave. If it's like that before I go in, I don't go in. That's my own rule of thumb.
But as far as your original question, I let people approach Cruz as he has proven not to be aggressive around people. Most of the time, especially at the park, people won't be able to keep up with him or catch a time to pet him because he constantly going. That's good.
But in general, it's really not a bad idea just to stay out of the DP's. I really don't go that often and when I do, I make it early or late when the park is near empty. He just likes the car ride and exploring the park.
|I didn't force it. Just let him ignore them and he kept playing with my husband (loves balls) but I just didn't know what to think since rthe other owners seemed to think it was odd.
|I agree. If the GSD won't approach someone, it's best not to force the issue.
|wolfy dog
|If a dog does not approach a stranger freely, he doesn't want contact. That should be enough reason to avoid that entire situation. Petting can be very invasive for a GSD or any herding dog for that matter. Goldens and other happy go lucky dogs are different and can OCD affectionate. Never seen a GSD like that.

Strangers and petting do not go together with Lisl.
As Lisl has gotten older more of her K-9 instincts from breeding are becoming apparent. She is now 20 months old. She is a very good dog, listens to every command, easy to teach and eager to please, but she will not let strangers approach her.
After many visits to my home she may let you pet her or get close to her. She would rather look and smell you over than have you approach her however. I learn more and more about her every day it seems.
I was in contact with her breeder recently and found that one of her littermates works as a border control dog for the Canadians and two of her siblings work for the Kansas Highway Patrol.
She can be aggressive, but it is more of a warning to stay back or don't approach me than a willingness to bite or attack anyone. This dog will defend me with a prompting or command, but will control herself if I tell her to. She has an on/off switch and it works very well.
I really didn't expect this caliber of dog when I agreed to buy her. She's worth three times what I paid. And some departments have according to the K-9 officer across the street.
I love her to death. She's a good girl. Sorry about the crappy photo...
|And I wouldn't put a dog in that situation or make him sit for unwanted pets from someone because if he were to get agitated and bite someone, he pays the price.

Humidity Proof Hair, It Does Exist: Avon's Lotus ShieldFriday, July 23, 2010
Well, guess what? That ad is no exaggeration. I'm not the only one in love with this product (check out what my friend Diva Debi had to say about it, I'm still laughing, but again, she's not lying).
Inside that little bottle is a milky white serum that you apply to wet hair (I use about a nickel amount, then comb through with a wide tooth comb), and then style hair as usual. I've used this product when blow drying my hair straight as well as on days that I've let my wavy hair just be wavy. I've used it with blow drying and air drying.
Perhaps most importantly, I've been using it throughout most of this horrible heat wave that has hit the country. Here in my neck of the woods, it has been accompanied by 60-70% humidity most days (at least according to the little weather station we have in a tree in the back yard). Which means I've been exposing my hair to humidity that should be turning me into Monica in Barbados. Instead my hair is smooth and shiny, not an area of frizz in site!
Lotus Shield promises to keep your hair frizz free for up to 3 days in up to 97% humidity. I really think it works. There are other anti-frizz products on the market that also work (in the past I've been a big fan of Living Proof). I do think that the Avon product works better than the combination of products I need from Living Proof. It is also cheaper and you can still use all of your "regular" hair products. Just add in Lotus Shield if you think there will be a humidity problem that day.

Holy cow, that's amazing. There's nothing like a product that actually lives up to its promises!ReplyDelete
It really does!ReplyDelete
I just got home from having my hair cut. I'd used the Lotus Shield 2 days before (so, this morning was day 3), and in our crazy humidity I had even wandered our famous Art Fair (hint, where do I live??) for about 3 hours yesterday. My hair was super straight, no frizz in sight- perfect!
My hair dresser dried my hair and used one of those typical anti-frizz silicone hair products on me. Obviously in a salon she can't use Avon. Walking from the door of the salon to my car was literally about 20 feet at the most, and I was already frizzing! It was about 10 seconds! I immediately applied Lotus Shield when I got home to preserve the rest of my blow out.
The directions say to use it on wet hair and then style, but I used about 1/3 of my normal amount. I spread it around on my palms and smoothed it over my hair, trying to be as even as possible and then brushed to help spread it as well. The frizz I had already acquired was definitely less immediately and the product spread so well I couldn't tell it was in! I hope I spread it enough. Obviously this is a bit less than ideal, but you could definitely try this at home.
It made me wonder what those big blowout salons in NYC (like Blow) use to combat frizz? I'd HATE to pay a lot of money for a great blowout, just to have it ruined when I walked outside. I'm sure it'd be tacky to make them use my product, but I admit I'd be really tempted!
Hi Christine!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for the shout out! I'm glad you are getting the same great results I am! I'm wildly impressed with this product and prefer the texture to a lot of other anti-frizz products I own, that feel like motor oil. Avon has created a winner. Next step is the shampoo and conditioner...let me know if you try it before I do.
Hi Debbi!ReplyDelete
I was going to leave a comment on your post today to let you know it was here, but you beat me to it!
I seriously love this product, Avon did a great job with it! I should try the shampoo/conditioner too, I think one of the nurses at work is an Avon rep, so I'll have to order it from her. I'll let you know how I like it!
Oh one more thing! I have brought product to the Salon where I get my haircut (Good old fashioned Clairol Shimmer Lights...NOTHING tones down brassy highlights like this stuff)! No one was even vaguely offended. Next time, bring your Lotus Shield with you!ReplyDelete
Keep me posted on the shampoo and conditioner please.
I am so glad to read the testimonies as it relates to Avon's Advance Techniques "Frizz Control Lotus Shield".ReplyDelete
For those seeking a supplier, I am here for you - As an Independent Avon Representative I would like to offer my online store address:

Is this an art fair that is actually multiple art fairs? Hail to the victors? If so, I'm pretty sure you and I live in the same city, very cool! I love your site, keep it up!ReplyDelete
LOL! You're right Jamie, we do!ReplyDelete

love the friends reference!ReplyDelete
i will def be purchasing this so my hair survives my morning commute to work! thanks :)
well if it works I had better give it a go!ReplyDelete
Christine, this sounds great! I've used so many anti-frizz products over the years and NOTHING worked for a long period of time.ReplyDelete
Right now I'm using WEN by Chaz Dean Cleansing Conditioner. I like how it makes my hair feel but I haven't tried to see how it holds up in humidity. I've just been wearing my hair curly.
Since, I'm a woman of color I wonder will this Lotus Shield really work on my hair? I don't have kinky hair but it is very curly so I wonder if it will work when I decide to whip the flat iron out and straighten it :-)
By the way, I got a flat iron for $37 from Target that will blow all of those $200 flat irons out of the water......including the Chi!
It's by Remington, has a digital display and goes up to 430 degrees - which my hair can handle since its all natural. I use it no more than once a week and I'm pretty good.
P.S. I think we met at the last Total Beauty blog conference.
Hi, great blog! Yeah I've tried this as well and it really works. Mentioned it on my blog as well.ReplyDelete
Wow, I definitely need to get this stuff then! My hair is a frizzy disaster.ReplyDelete

Hi! I've heard a lot about the Lotus Shield and am thinking of trying it, but I'm wondering if there are any silicones in it?ReplyDelete
It does have siliconesReplyDelete
I have tried everything out there no controls my hair.ReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

I think it might require its own thread, like, why was the ass still in the right lane when he started losing speed? I hate amatures! Ignoring coolant alarms putting that truck on the trailer backwards, running the shit out of a hot engine till the limp mode kicked in. Yah, he was trying to keep up with the Dodge but DAMN don't kill the truck.
I ran my 6.7 Cummins 6 speed auto across 40 from one end of tn to the other at 70 down hill 65 up hill, watching my coolant like a hawk, it never went higher than 10 degrease above average (cant remember what average was on that truck. this is a 8300lb truck pulling a 6000lb trailer with 11,000lb's of freight. My plate was for a gross weight of 26000lbs and I was typiclly 200-300 lbs over that. I almost never used over drive.
word to the wise watch out for recalls on that 6 speed we had it in the dealer for one problem 4 times, part of it was the mechanic part was recalls, started with the pan leak, then they changed either the input on the trans or the rear main on the engine, then the trans sucked the seal around the shifter in and THAT was a bad leak. As far as the motor goes we had a programming recall and picked up an extra 2mpg (12mpg @ a gross weight of 25000lbs running 65 in ohio) pulling something somewhat aerodynamic gets you even better fuel economy.
if you want a top of the line tow rig the Cummins makes a nice motor, and the MegaCab is built to comfortably sit 5 people and still pull a goose neck trailer like its not there.
All diesels are expensive to fix, its a diesel thing. Guys swear buy the Dmax, some guys with Cummins decided to trade the Dmax for the Cummins, and ford guys, well, they are Ford guys.
the Duramax and cummins are pretty close in performance, right now, the 24v are by far the loudest, the 6.7 and duramax you can hardly hear run, and the 6.7 Cummins wont blow black smoke, but, you do have to use the USLD or the cats will get plugged, yes, the 6.7 has 2 catalytic converters, and they have sensors so the truck knows how much back pressure is on the exhaust.
The last big plus of the 6.7 is the exhaust brake, its not adjustable but when you slide it into towhaul and turn it on you don't need to bother with the breaks going down a grade, it WORKS.

I myself own 2004 Gmc Duramax and love it. I would find one with the LLY coded engine, however the other older years are fine. To my knowledge, Gm did extended the warrenty to around 200,000 miles on injectors. My brother has 2002, My Dad 2003 and they have, well over 100,000 miles with only one injector issue on the 02 and Gm covered it. If you only drive 10 miles, I would still buy one and take the long way home!

This is exactly why I have had a hard time deciding, seems it is always about 50-50 which ppl prefer.
Chevy Pros:
Nice Ride
Quitier Desiel
Nicer Interior
Newer body style
Smooth shifting automatic
Chevy Cons:
Lower fuel mileage
More expensive
Possibly shorter lasting Engine? (not many ppl running 200k+ trucks yet)
Push button 4x4
Possible Injector Problem
Dodge Pros:
Cummins proven motor
available in 6spd manual
Better fuel economy
Lots of aftermarket parts
Cheaper/more available
4x4 shifter
Dodge Cons:
Same body style for almost 10 years
Crappy Automatic
Vp44 lift pump issue
Rougher ride
Louder Motor

You know my preference just because I have a Cummins. No matter what you chose, find a station that sells bio-diesel and run at least B2 if not B20. This new ULSD crap will take years off the life of your motor. The bio adds back a lot of the lubricity that is now missing from this so-called eco-friendly shit.

Covered in mud...
I have a 96 dodge V10 currently, gets 11mpg empty, 9-10 mpg toying my toyota (9.5 mpg @ 75mph towing to tellico, likewise to harlan, for reference, overdrive on except hills), 3.55 gears, 135k miles with a raised cap on the back. I figure my toy/trailer's same weight as yours, they had the same tires and drivetrain..
If you are determined to get a diesel for a daily driver, I'd get the duramax with an allison. I think one of the biggest improvements in trucks is better automatics, they really help get things rolling. So many trucks (fords STILL) are saddled with 2.4x first gears and wide gear spacing.
If you drive 10 miles daily, I'd really recommend against it. Buying used, you'll probably pay $5000 minimum more for the diesel, and be paying 10-15% higher fuel prices, plus higher maintenance costs, that will eat up any fuel savings you'd see. You'll be idling for 15 minutes every morning to warm up.
I think the chevy is better to live with daily, better ride/handling, newer truck, etc. You might be able to go through the drive thru without turning off the motor.
If it was me, I'd go find a newer chevy with a 8.1 or maybe a 6.0. You'll be able to pick up 2-3 model years by not paying for the diesel. But I never do what the cool kids do.

Supposedly it is bad to idle the Dodge 3rd gen egr engines due to injector fouling. Is that the same for the Dmax? If so plan on using a block heater or some other way to warm it up.
Why not the 2003 - 2004 Dodges?

Smells like a Fork Liftis
On every trip I have been on with my 98' Chevy, I have been very frustrated with it's towing. On our last trip, I had a hard time keeping up with the pack from st louis onto Flat Nasty.
I am not trying to do what the cool guys are doing, I don't care about fuel mileage, I don't care about cost to get one over a gasser. I just want to set the cruise and drive, tow 70 mph and not have to loss 10mph going up a slight hill.
I have problems with my 4L80E jumping into 2nd gear on pretty big hills and ppl with the 6.0L have the same issues from what I have read.

Get a GM 8.1, they tow great but mileage sucks and you don't care about mileage.

That sounds weak, though, if, at 70 mph you can't pull hills in 3rd gear. Even in my 5.9 dodge, I used could go up things like zilwaukee, etc, without resorting ever to 2nd gear.
I wasn't the happiest towing with my 5.9 dodge on anything but flat. But I like my V10. It makes more HP and Torque than the cummins from the same years(until the HO diesel came out).
It'll be replaced with a 4 door half ton in 2 years when my Fusion lease runs up.

And using a test lab and synthetics you can extend your oil changes. The new gassers with their dual plugs and coils are much more expensive. Diesels are penny pincher on maintenance. Even the oil filters are cheap, I don't know why.
The resale alone makes up for the extra cost, think investment.
There are so many myths about diesels, "not good if your only going to drive ten miles", extra costs. what a bunch of hoowee.
Get what you want, or when your in right lane watching the speedo drop like a two dollar whore and the reality of 7 miles per gallon sink in, you'll wish you had.

That one ear up, one ear down is SO cute with the rest of his looks. I would guess he's a mix, as well, but I think it's something like 3/4 GSD, 1/4 something else, or even a higher percentage of GSD because if it weren't for those fuzzy ears I'd swear he was pure GSD. Those big GSD feet look like he's got a lot of growing to do yet.
He certainly weighs less than my six month old GSD (see Damaged Ear thread that I started in late March and just updated) but my pup was in the vet's office last month with another GSD pup who was a month older than mine, and Jack was ten pounds heavier. So there can certainly be a wide variation. So I don't think I'd be concerned with what he weighs now. If he is a mix, probably whatever else is in him was a smaller breed, is all. And like I said about his feet, he's not done yet by a long shot!
As for feed and picky eating, mine went through that as well. Now, he was younger, but there were a few times I was sure he was sick and then the next day he was eating again normally. If he has a food that he really likes and devours it, you can probably figure he's just being picky. But you are smart to be thinking about a visit to the vet just in case.
Good luck with him, gosh he's so cute.
thanks guys! He is just a bunch of joy and I am lucky to have him in my life.. being single father and fully committing to all his needs has made me mature in so many ways . Its just so hot here now reaching 45C everyday and his appetite has reduced drastically, is that normal??
He doesnt seem to be too fond of his dry kibble anymore although I give him best quality one available in india which is Farmina No grain directly imported from italy. he actually prefers the pedigree one which costs 1/4.. Instead of giving in to him wanting that crap I have been mixing with sugar free yoghurt mostly, sometimes chicken stew or lentils, but now he doesnt want that also.. His energy level has decreased in the past couple days hes been fussy with food although stool is ok (med-soft/hard). So I gave him a goat femur bone with arond 150g of meat.. Should I start him on raw or what I'm quite confused. I just want him to eat peacefully like my golden who eats anything and doesnt have any limit. I just hope its this dreadfull heat and no other issues, i plan to take him to vet just in case, his fourth deworming is due and I might give him a tick/flea bath just to be sure..
At 6 months he weighs around 24kgs, seems quite underweight to me although he is very lean and cannot see his ribs.. he just loves to play so im worried to his sudden change in behaviour. He's finishing teething and might be having a growth spurt. Last one also he got very lethargic and would chill/sleep mostly.
I love photo 3 and the others that show one ear up with extravagant feathers! He's cute! I'd think there was a good possibility that the other ear would also stand. If it does I'd suggest anchoring him in case a strong wind came along for that would be a threat to have him sail away!
I'm not sure about the % of GSD in there. Time will give you a better idea on that.
|Way too cute for his own good
|having one ear up and one down is so freaking cute!
|He clearly has GSD in him... but he looks like a mix to me. His ears to do look very floppy, but one ear did stand in one of the pictures, that is a sign of hope. It is possible they will, or maybe they will just come up and have a slight bend towards the top. He looks very very much like a mix to me, so it depends on the other breed(s). He most definitely has GSD in him, though.
My baby MAX please comment and advice on my one concern!
Hi folks,
been a while since I posted here although have been going through so many archived threads related to any issue or concern I have been having in the last 4 months since I got my sweetheart. He has been a good boy, boy do I remember those first 2 months I thought I had a problem child.. but as everyone had stated its normal gsd behaviour. He seems to have chilled out a lot since his baby teeth fell off 2 weeks back. All is going well except he is a picky eater!
What I want to know is that Max had his one ear up twice for couple days well before his teething stage and the right on up once for a couple days also. Like they were standing still without any support or without him being cautious.. Now it seems to be stuck in TP mode for past month or so and I am getting little worried since most people piss me off saying what's wrong with his ear and if me is a mix.. i know lot of owners face the same criticism but who cares! we love our baby and they love us thats all that matters. Honestly to me even if he is mix wont bother me since I would have given the same love and commitment to a stray.. Millions here, I live in India btw.. Just moved here for job was feeling lonely, love dogs, hence MAX
Could some people who have been around many gsds care to comment about the breed of my baby? any comments welcome and please also comment as to if there is hope for him having permanent fully erect years. he will turn 6months this weekend and I have been encouraging he lots to chew on appropriate things such as mutton & chicken legs, rawhide (cant find bully sticks or beef here) and we play lots of tug and he loves to chew his stuff toys. But the thing is his ears feel so soft!!! Its unlike how i see gsd pups in pics, like the base 20% is medium hard, but rest to the tip is very thin and soft.. any suggestions welcome! thank you very much

clutch/ hydraulics problem
ok, i've got a 89' s-10 truck with a 4 cylinder (all 90 horses)and a t-5 trans. 3 months ago the trans was rebuilt and i put it in with a new clutch, plate, bearing and bushing. everything was fine until late last week. it got hard to to downshift and this week it got to the point the clutch won't disengage at all.
i spent the day replacing the entire clutch assembly, still can't get it into gear while running. i've checked the master and slave cylinder and both seem to be functioning properly. i'm getting almost an inch of travel at the fork. the manual says 1/2 inch is normal.
you can feel pressure on the pedal but no real resistance (really soft). the fork is on the pivot ball and you can shift through all the gears very easily when its not running, the fork didn't look to be bent (matched it up with my extra).
i'm thinking maybe the slave is bleeding back once it meets resistance on the fork. is that possible?
i've read the posts here and other forums but can't seem to find the right answers. i need to get this back on the road so i can fix my firebird. thanks, roy

I have played around a little bit with the Social engineering toolkit and i found out that it only works within my home network.
I mean that the ip adres generated by SET which you sent to the 'victem' is an internal ip adres so this is logical to me.
But then i wondered if you can only use it in your home network no one could use it to do any real harm, so my question is:
Can SET only be used in you own network or is there a way to make it work outside your network?

1 College Parkway, Colchester, VT
Continue on College Parkway and look for the Jug Handle turn on your right to get to the Hoehl Welcome Center.
Saint Michael's campus is in northwestern Vermont, just a minute or two off of Exit 15 on Interstate 89 North and five minutes off of Exit 16 on Interstate 89 South.
FROM EXIT 15, INTERSTATE 89 North, use one of our two main campus entrances:
Please note, there is no exit 15 for those traveling south on Interstate 89. Instead take Exit 16, turning right onto US 7 South toward the Winooski roundabout and follow signs for Route 15 (4th exit off of roundabout). Follow Route 15 for approximately 1.5 miles to Saint Michael's College (see Main and South entrance instructions below).
Bear right off of Exit 15, Interstate 89 past the south entrance and first set of lights. Stay in right lane and follow Route 15 through another set of lights. Bear right into the "jug handle" before the third set of lights. Cross the intersection to campus.
The Office of Admission is located in the Hoehl Welcome Center the first building on the left. Visitor parking is available at the entrance.
McCarthy Arts Center, Durick Library & Ross Sports & Tarrant Recreation Centers
Bear right off of Exit 15, Interstate 89 and get into left lane. At the first set of lights, take left into parking lot. McCarthy Arts Center is on your right; Durick Library is straight ahead; Ross Sports Center and Tarrant Recreation Center are on the left toward the back of the parking lot.
Burlington International Airport (BTV) is less than 10 minutes away. The Greyhound Bus station is at the airport, the Mega Bus station is in Burlington, and the Amtrak station is in Essex Junction, about a five-minute drive from campus. Taxi service is available throughout the area.
Current airlines servicing Burlington International Airport include Continental, Delta, JetBlue, United and US Airways. Direct flights are available from cities including Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Newark, Orlando, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

|My boy was not tested for EPI. We were ruling out one thing at a time and I joined this forum in search of help. Like you, he was not my first GSD or my first rescue. Metronidazole did not help, he had loud gut gurgling noises and diarrhea. My vet suggested an endoscopy and I agreed if we could not get the diarrhea under control otherwise. I read threads about inflammatory bowel disease and Tylan. With my vet's blessing, I tried it. It worked wonders for him and he was able to be maintained on a very small dose daily. He could only tolerate the salmon-based kibble and loved a raw turkey neck with each meal. He gained 24 pounds and looked superb when I lost him just one year later.
THe culture results are not in yet. He's on boiled chicken and rice for now and it has helped but he is getting tired of it and is turning his nose up at it. At least that rules out a partial blockage. Moms suggested a bovine probiotic that helps with nutrient absorbtion. Most are plant based (which is what he has been on all along). It came in this morning so I'm going to start it today.
Sorry about your boy Shannon. Was your boy tested for EPI?
He has been on his food for months with no issues but maybe he has developed something. The other dogs are the kibble with no issues so it's not the food but I am leaning toward it being the food and him. I'm waiting on the culture results before making any decisions. I will probably re-introduce raw and cross all my fingers, toes, legs, arms and anything else I can.
For what it is worth, my rescued GSD was 30 inches tall and weighed 70 pounds when seized by animal control for neglect. He had mushy soupy stool and metronidazole did nothing. Tylan powder worked and worked like a charm. I switched his kibble to the high calorie Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach, gave him a raw turkey neck with each meal and hid the Tylan powder in a gelatin capsule in a meatball of canned food. He gained weight, stabilized his gut function and weighed 92 pounds when I lost him suddenly to a tumor on his spinal cord.
The "diagnosis" by default was small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
|My boy had really liquid stool like that and wasn't gaining weight as he should have been really itchy as well. Took him off all the good stuff and just gave him pumpkin and science diet. It worked. He started gaining weight and has had firm poops ever since. Several times I've tried to switch him back to the good stuff and every kind I've tried has caused him to slip backward and start getting itchy again. He has got to be allergic to something in the grain free's but I can't figure out what it is. the only thing they all seem to have in common is rice and I didn't know you could be allergic to rice...
|Has the vet gotten back to you on your guy yet?
|Appreciate it! Culture is being sent to lab today but won't have those results until Monday. In the meantime I've up'd the probiotics and Carmen and Moms have pm'd me with some good information. Fingers crossed we get this resolved.
|I don't have any advice, but wanted to send my best for your little man. I hope you and your vet figure everything out soon!
|wolfy dog
|That is quite the puzzle. How about taking him to a homeopathic vet? What is his activity level like? have they looked into Lyme disease (test)? Auto immune issues?
Yes no issues until 2.5 weeks ago. He is 7.5 months. This is beyond just a thin pup. Vet noticed it first thing. I wouldn't call him emaciated yet to the extent hips are showing but a 7.5 month old should have gained something in 6 weeks and he obviously very thin at first glance. He is 10-12 lbs under weight.
I cut the raw out a week ago along with supplements so I'm down to a single source, and one he has been eating since he arrived (with solid stool). I'm happy the gut blood test were negative. I'm actually hoping they find a bacteria in the occult test that is the culprit (one that is treatable).
Wolfy I do use applie cidar vinegar in their water. THe raw is some what local...it's here in texas. This is not pre made raw from a store. Tripe is something I feed routinely. I suspended the raw a week ago to see if there was improvement on just kibble. None. I'm considering switching that now and just feeding him raw and cutting out the kibble and see what happens. I started the Honest Kitchen Perfect Form tonight. It has slippery elm and pumpkin.

|How about cutting everything out that is pre-made like the raw mix and kibble and just get all your raw ingredients locally so you know exactly what he gets. Did you try kefir, yoghurt, apple cider vinegar? I had one dog who had bouts of this for days and the only thing that worked was raw tripe, at that time from greentripe.com.

Arsène Wenger says Robert Pires still has something to offer a Premier League club.
The 36-year-old, who scored 84 goals in his six years at Arsenal, has been training with the Club as he seeks fitness while contemplating the next chapter of his illustrious career.
Wenger believes any manager looking for a creative force should jump at the chance to sign the former Gunner, though the current talent he has at his disposal means Pires' future lies away from north London.
"Believe me, he can play in the Premier League," said the Frenchman.
"If I was a Premier League manager looking for a creative player I would take Pires tomorrow.
"I will help him to get fit but I have Rosicky, Nasri, Fabregas, Wilshere and Arshavin who all play in the same kind of manner, so if I sign Pires he will not play and it just adds to the wage bill.
"I like Pires and we are proud that every player who plays for us likes to come back because it was a special experience in their lives."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
