Fresh and clean
Olive leaf is my favorite Thymes scent, and this bar of soap is my favorite product. The scent is great -- fresh, clean, natural, distinct but not at all strong -- and the soap foam feels wonderful. Very moisturizing. I usually don't give a lot of thought to washing my hands, but when I use this bar, I always stop and notice the scent and the great feel. My first Thymes purchase and the one I come back to over and over.

This soap lasts forever, is very moisturizing and lathers beautifully. It also smells wonderful but isn't overpowering or flowery.

Clean scent
I love this scent and the soap is luxurious. My only wish is that there would be smaller bars - if the 2 bars were pooled and divided into 3 bars and the same equivalent price as two bars they would have gotten an Excellent. My only problem is that I have smallish hands and the bars don't become comfortable right away. And I use the soap every time I shower.
This Olive soap is just wonderful as it has a fresh, clean and unigue scent. This Soap lathers well and last forever and my skin is very soft after using. This is definitely not drying. It's beautiful design also makes a great bathroom addition.
I have since bought the body cream, perfume and shower gel. I'm addicted to the body lotion and keep well stocked on it. . I can't even pass it without just having to use it because it's a medium strength lotion ; not to light or heavy and my skin is very hydrated and it nurtures my skin.
The perfume was also a great find. It's perfect for any daily setting. I'm so glad I decided to order it. It'slight, clean and yet nicely scented. I highly recommend this product for anyone who like a clean fresh scent that isn't a floral. I feel confident using it in any daily setting.

Hello everyone,
I hope this is the correct place, I just wanted to introduce myself. I only just discovered Treeleaf from a print ad in Tricycle magazine, and I just sat-along with a webcast for the first time today.
I do occasionally sit with a local Buddhist group, but my schedule is erratic and I often travel, so I am pleased to see there is a community like this online.
I hope to get to know some of you over time,

Report/gallery: Pacquiao vs. Marquez IV
Ringside by Andreas Hale and Anthony Springer Jr.
Photos by Chris Cozzone
After three inconclusive but thrilling showdowns, Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) and Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KOs) met up one final time to write the final chapter to their epic rivalry. In front of a sold out and electric MGM Grand Garden Arena, both men stepped in the ring with something to prove. Neither man wanted the bout to go to the judges and both proclaimed they were going for the knockout to end all doubts about who the better man was.
The judges wouldn't be needed.
In front of a crowd that had his back from the opening bell, Marquez unleashed a hellacious counter right hook that separated Pac-Man from his senses before he hit the mat with just one second remaining in the sixth round of their 12-round tilt.
For the nearly 18-minute back and forth, both men kept it consistent. Pacquiao, for the most part, set the tone after the opening round feeling out process. Every time Pacquiao landed a punch or combination, Marquez was right back with a counter.
Pacquiao opened up in the third frame, but it was Marquez who would steal the round. He connected with a stiff uppercut midway through the round and knocked Pacquiao down with a right hand late.
If this were a beauty contest, Pacquiao would certainly emerge victorious. The hard, single blows of Pacquiao turned the nose of Marquez into a bloody, flimsy pool of flesh. A big Pacquiao right hand send Marquez briefly to the mat, evening the knockout score. The round closed with both fighters swinging for the fences, with Pacquiao landing a series of single, power punches.
Pacquiao attempted to make lightning strike twice at the close of the sixth. He rushed Marquez against the ropes and walked right into the fight ending hook. Referee Kenny Bayless could've counted to 100; Pacquiao was out cold before face planting into the canvas.
All three judges had the fight scored 47-46 for Pacquiao. Fight News scored the contest the same.
Pacquiao nearly doubled the number of punches connected with 94 to Marquez' 52. Of those 52 Marquez punches, 41 were power shots.
Bob Arum left the door open for another fight if fan demand called for it. – Anthony Springer Jr.
Gamboa Upends Farenas
A descending 50 Cent performing his single "My Life" signaled the beginning of SMS Promotions and his fighter Yurirorkis Gamboa (22-0) making his return after a 15-month hiatus. The Cuban made his new promoter proud by claiming the WBA interim super featherweight title with a 12 round unanimous decision victory over Michael Farenas (34-4-4-1) despite worrying 50 Cent after being dropped in the 9th round. It was a relatively lopsided score despite the fact that Gamboa made this fight more difficult than it should have been. Although judges saw it 118-108, 117-109 and 117-108, Gamboa showed numerous flaws in his game. Leaving himself open during exchanges, pulling his head out with his hands down and coasting when he should be pursuing are all things he will hopefully correct. But, for now, his gifts far outweigh his flaws and his wicked power and accuracy proved to be the difference maker on Saturday night. Moving up in weight, the 31-year-old busted up Farenas and scored two knockdowns in the 3rd and 7th rounds and was cruising on the scorecards before getting ripped by a counter left hook in the 8th round.
The Cuban wanted to put an end to the night and blitzed Farenas with a salvo of wide punches. But rather than succumb to the pressure, Farenas cut loose a left hook that landed right on the button and put Gamboa on the canvas. The crowd roared at the sight but Gamboa would rise and collect himself. That was the last chance Gamboa would take as he fought cautiously to the final bell.
"I haven't fought for a long time," Gamboa said through a translator. "I needed the rounds. I thought I fought a good fight and entertained the crowd." – Andreas Hale
Vazquez Spoils Gesta's Big Opportunity
In a relatively uneventful 12 round affair, Miguel Angel Vazquez (32-3) handed Mercito Gesta (26-1-1) his first loss in a lopsided unanimous decision to retain the IBF lightweight title. From the outset, Gesta struggled to get into a rhythm and couldn't find his way past Vazquez height and reach advantage. Vazquez' movement and jab picked off each and every Gesta approach as the Filipino could do nothing more than chase his opponent around the ring. Despite falling behind quickly, Gesta lacked a sense of urgency and continued to lurch forward and try to land one big shot. Vazquez stuck to the game plan despite Gesta's attempts to bait him into a firefight and earned the judges scores of 117-111, 119-109 and 118-110. – Andreas Hale
Fortuna Decisions Hyland In Lackluster Bout
Javier Fortuna (21-0-0-1, 15 KOs) won a lackluster unanimous decision win over Patrick Hyland (27-1, 12 KOs) to claim the WBA Interim Featherweight Championship. The man managed by Snookie (yes, Snooki from Jersey Shore) injected some life into the hapless bout, slamming Fortuna to the mat and hitting him with a low blow moments later in the eighth round. The series of dirty shots woke Fortuna up. The new champion charged at Hyland with a wild barrage of swings. Hyland attempted to pick up the pace in the later rounds, but his relative inaction put the bout out of his grasp. Needless to say, there was more drama in an episode of Jersey Shore than there was in this bout. The judges scored the contest 118-110, 116-112 and 115-113. – Anthony Springer Jr.
Ramirez Wrecks Siegwarth In Pro Debut
2012 USA Olympian Jose Ramirez made his professional debut a victorious one with a savagely one-sided throttling of Corey Siegwarth (2-2) in a scheduled four round lightweight attraction. The most pro ready of the U.S. boxing team wasted no time ransacking Siegwarth with punches from the opening bell. A left hook to the body dropped Siegwarth early and perhaps he should have reconsidered getting up as Ramirez unloaded a hellacious series of blows until referee Vic Drakulich mercifully stopped the fight at 2:05. – Andreas Hale
Hernandez earn first finish against Hogue
In featherweight swing bout action, Alexis Hernandez (3-1, 1 KO) needed just 1:20 to finish off Jazzma Hogue (2-4-1, 0 KOs). – Anthony Springer Jr.
Penalosa demolishes Raya
Dodie Boy Penalosa improved to 10-0 with 10 knockouts as he obliterated Jesus Lule Raya in the second round of a scheduled 8 round featherweight bout. Penalosa and Raya danced to a stalemate in the opening frame but Raya (6-5) attempted to push the action in the second round and paid for it as Penalosa slammed a counter right hook into Raya's face that put him down and out with no count. Time of stoppage was 1:12. – Andreas Hale
Sanchez Rebounds, Rolls To Victory Over Evans
The night started out on a high note for the Phillipines as Ernie Sanchez (14-3, 5 KOs) rebounded from a near finish in the second round to defeat Coy Evans (10-2-1, 2 KOs) to earn a unanimous decision win. Sanchez was hurt with a right hook but weathered the storm to get out of the round. He roared back in the following frame, sending Evans to the mat with a straight right. The pair traded punches for the rest of the eight round affair, with Sanchez getting the better of the exchanges. The judges scored the bout 78-73, 78-73 and 78-74. – Anthony Springer Jr.

Welcome to our training page. I hope you are here not just because it's another certificate to get, but because you want to formulate and execute your business strategy better.
Strategy is a way that a company sees: current business challenges, the reasons why they appeared; and the solution that will make everything work properly.
Strategy is not just about indicators (KPIs). I'd say that a strategy is about these 3 components:
- Strategy definition, where one needs to come up with a company's answer to the business problems and challenges;
- Strategy description, where one formalizes a strategy, e.g. design strategy map, business goals, and KPIs;
- Strategy execution, where a strategy plan is translated and given to the rest of the company and is executed.
The goal of our training is to give you specific approaches to work within these 3 components of the strategy.
Why us? What makes up special?
We are not a classical training company that packs just any information into a "Training/certification" product and sells it. Instead of having an academic background in the topic, we have a strong practical background.
- We have helped companies all over the world to solve their management and measurement-related problems with scorecards. Check out the case study section to get an idea about who our customers are and what kind of problems they have solved.
- We are authors of "BSC Designer" software for the business scorecard. That's why during the training we are not talking about abstract theory, we are always trying to show how it works in practice. Still, we don't insist on the usage of our software.
- We have our own KPIs library, as well as a solid experience with designing KPIs that work.
- Our trainers wrote books on Balanced Scorecard, their articles were seen on Forbes, and industry specific strategy magazines. You might have heard them speaking about the strategy at professional conferences.
- We collaborated with business schools to teach business scorecards using working models.
There are a number of training products by other companies that focus on specific business framework only, for example, on the Balanced Scorecard. I believe that it's always better to focus on the solution of the specific problems, not on the specific tool. We do this by following this principle:
We don't teach just the scorecard approach; we teach you to work with all 3 aspects of the strategy (definition, description, execution) by using various tools. The Balanced Scorecard is just one of them.
- We don't teach Balanced Scorecard exclusively; we teach other business frameworks as well that help to address the above-mentioned challenges.
Why should I choose your training, but not one of these expensive programs?
There are various training/certification programs for the Business/Balanced Scorecard available on the market. Most of them suggest an excellent value and are taught by experienced lecturers. But let's be honest, there are two kinds of training:
- More expensive programs; their certificates give more prestige and value for your CV. The practical part of such programs is normally presented with some cases about scorecards implemented in international companies.
- Less expensive practice-oriented training; their certificates don't look so impressive on your CV, but give you skills that you can use right now, not just knowledge.
My personal belief is that any Balanced Scorecard training and certification is useless unless you start doing something yourself, and applying specific ideas that you learn about into your business.
- It's better to describe your strategy using a business scorecard and see how it works in real-life, than be a book-smart guru with knowledge that is not applied.
I always vote for practice. It's like riding a bicycle:
You can hire the Olympic champion to teach you; you can read many books on the topic (yes, there are such books!), or visit expensive training, but the most important thing is that you start trying to ride.
For our training we don't hire Olympic champions, but we help you to try all the ideas that we teach as soon as possible.
Do you teach "Business," "Strategy," or "Balanced" Scorecard?
Ted Levitt once said:
- People don't buy a quarter-inch drill bit, they buy a quarter-inch hole.
Regarding the Balanced Scorecard I would say:
People don't need Scorecard, they need a way to describe their complex strategies and then executive them.
For this very reason, in our training we are not locked to the Balanced Scorecard concept. It gives a lot of meaningful ideas about strategy description, but we can also learn a lot from other frameworks, like for example 7-S or Hoshin Kanri. For some companies, simpler approaches work much better than complex ones.
Answering the initial question about the terminology:
- Instead of using "Balanced Scorecard" term we prefer to use wider terms like "Business" or "Strategy" Scorecard.
What will I learn?
There are 4 main directions. You can choose to focus on a specific direction or go through all of them:
- We will teach you to work with strategy, e.g. diagnose the problems and come up with a hypothesis about how to solve them.
- Business scorecard. Where we teach you to describe the strategy in a form of business goals, objectives, strategy maps, and initiatives.
- Where we are talking about leading and lagging indicators, finding them, and integrating them into your company's culture.
- Where you'll learn how to implement the idea of Business Scorecard into your company's DNA.
I'd like to mention one important thing: our trainers do not stop learning! Every day we deal with another client, we see another scorecard or strategy map and we learn something new from them.
We don't give recommendations like: "That is the way you have to do it." Any business is unique and any concept needs to be aligned with its business realities.
We will diagnose which parts of your strategy process need more attention and suggest to you a training program to address those challenges.
3 formats of the training
We suggest you try 3 different training formats, and then choose one according to your budget and needs.
- Web sessions at $150 US/hour rate. We will teach you via online meeting software (we use Skype and TeamViewer). Our agreement will be session to session, so you are never locked into a long term agreement, our team always has an incentive to make things happen.
- Training on client's site at $150 US/hour + travel and accommodation costs. This option works great for those clients that are already happy with our training and want to spread the ideas across the company. The most convenient way to do this is to bring a trainer to your site.
If you buy more than 1 hour of training then an hour rate will be reduced to the $120 US/hour.
If you are interested in web sessions or on-site training, then contact us first. Our trainer will get in contact with you to agree on the first free session where we will discuss your current business challenges and the details of the training program that would fit your needs best of all.
Finally, the last option:
- Audio training in MP3 – starting from $216 US for the "Silver" package. If you have a tight budget, but still want to start with Business Scorecards, then you can choose one of the eTraining sessions. Check out the eTraining page, listen to audio samples, and choose the training that you need.
Collaboration with MBA programs
According to the research, the toolkit of the most World executives includes business scorecards. This explains a strong interest from the part of MBA students in modern strategy formulation frameworks. We did an excellent course about Business Scorecards for the Moscow Business School, and we are happy to share our experience with others.
The MBA class room is something special for us. On the one hand, we need to teach the theory of the concept; on the other hand, we want to share some practical experience.
To achieve these two goals we are using examples of real business scorecards, similar to those that companies use.
After "playing" with those projects, students become really enthusiastic about the Business Scorecard approach, and we believe that our first goal was successfully achieved in this case.
Certificate from us
As I mentioned in the very beginning, we are not for people who are just chasing another certificate to put on their wall or to add another line into a CV. Still, we are happy to recognize those who passed our training with a certificate.
The certificate has its unique number, your name on it, and the name of the passed training program.
How can I start with a free session?
Just send us a message telling a little bit about your current business challenges, which might be:
- Strategy definition
- Strategy description with KPIs or strategy map
- Translating of your strategy to other departments
- Or something different
Then, we will agree on a time when we can meet online to discuss the training program that we can offer.
Do you have any other questions? Feel free to contact us or ask directly in the comments.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Here are some thoughts:
Per PetMD: "For some dogs, eating feces is a behavior learned from the litter-mates and/or mother. But, dogs that are fed a low-quality food (or an insufficient amount of food) may also resort to eating feces in an instinctual attempt to balance out a dietary deficiency. This may be further exacerbated if your dog has a digestive enzyme deficiency, because it prevents any of the foods nutrients to be properly absorbed by the body. Basically, your dog is attempting to eat feces in the hopes to forgo starving to death."
Dr. Karen Becker: "Dogs on entirely processed, dry food diets, who eat no living foods at all, will intentionally seek out other sources of digestive enzymes to make up for their own lifelong enzyme deficiency. Feeding your pet a diet containing human-grade protein, probiotics and supplemental digestive enzymes can sometimes curb the urge to find gross sources of free enzymes around the yard or in the cats litter box."
Coprophagia can also be caused by a Vitamin-B1 (Thiamine) deficiency. B-1 deficiency can be caused by feeding your dog a low-quality or a nutritionally incomplete diet (Dogspire).
Vitamin Code Raw B Complex: RAW ORGANIC FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BLEND(ORGANIC:STRAWBERRY,CHERRY,BLACKBERRY, RASPBERRY,BEET JUICE,BROCCOLI,CUCUMBER,TOMATO,KALE,SPINACH,CABBAG E,CAULIFLOWER,CELERY,PARSLEY,ASPARAGUS,GINGER) http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Vitamin-B-Complex-Capsules/dp/B0098U0SQO/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1386558619&sr=1-1&keywords=vitamin+code+raw+b+compl
The dog may need some Vitamin K-1. You can supply this naturally to her diet by adding 1 Tablespoon of chopped parsley every other day (never use synthetic Vitamin K-3, also called Menadione Sodium Bisulfate, as prolonged use can possibly damage organs and have a carcinogenic effect). Additionally, the flavonoids in parsleyespecially luteolinhave been shown to function as antioxidants that combine with highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (called oxygen radicals) and help prevent oxygen-based damage to cells. In addition, extracts from parsley have been used in animal studies to help increase the antioxidant capacity of the blood.
Adding animal based enzymes and fresh foods that contain Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine) could curb this habit.
BileX is an animal based digestive enzyme and very cost effective. It contains Pancreatin, Ox Bile Extract and Papin (Papaya). Crush 1 or 1 ½ tablets between 2 spoons and mix into the dogs food. Bilex 90 Tablets by Douglas Laboratories Pro-Biotics also aides the gut: For Pets Probiotic Pet Probiotics | Optimal Digestive Health for Pets - Mercola.com
Another Digestive Enzyme/ProBiotic combination is called Sunday Sundae: http://ineedthat.corecommerce.com/Sunday-Sundae.html
Here are some fresh foods that you can add to your dogs diet.
Pork is high in B-1. 1/3rd cup served raw(or even slightly cooked) several times per week may help. Pork must be frozen for at least one week before it is given to your dog. Choose very lean pork such as diced taco meat without any seasonings added or purchase pork chops on sale, take off most of the fat and cut in smaller pieces before freezing. Introduce slowly in small amounts at first.
Liver from Beef, Pork(frozen for one week), and Chicken contain Thiamine. Raw or slightly cooked.
Asparagus (pureed), green peas (pureed), ground flax seed and tuna (cooked) also have high quantities of B-1 that can be added to the diet.
If you look for a commercially prepared stool deterrent so that he/she won't eat their own feces, make sure that it doesn't contain MSG (Mono-sodium Glutamate) which can be toxic. Please research MSG (Accent) before purchasing as it is VERY suspect of being a dangerous toxin:
Per Wiki: MSG is classified by the FDA as an excitotoxin, a dangerous neurotoxin that shrivels and kills brain cells and has been linked to causing seizures, migraines, heart palpitations and even cancer, amongst it's many symptoms.... in people! Never mind your dog, YOU should be avoiding MSG! It's definitely one of those things you should not feed a dog.
http://evidenceofmsgtoxicity.blogspot.com/: All processed free glutamic acid (MSG) no matter how produced -- is neurotoxic (kills brain cells) and is endocrine disrupting (damages the endocrine system) (7-8). In addition, all processed free glutamic acid (MSG) will cause adverse reactions ranging from feelings of mild discomfort or simple skin rash to such things as irritable bowel, asthma, migraine headache, mood swings, heart irregularities, asthma, seizures, and depression when the amount of MSG ingested exceeds a person's MSG-tolerance level(9).
http://thehydrantblog.com/2012/07/31/dog-food-and-the-hidden-msg/ MSG or glutamate is a suspected addictive neurotoxin that has been associated with chest pain, headaches, numbness, asthmatic reactions, brain damage (in rats, rabbits, chicks and monkeys), depression, irritability, and mood changes, reproductive dysfunction in males and females, nervous symptoms (decreased sensibility in neck, arms and back) and irregular heartbeat. Its also on the FDAs list for further study for possible mutagenic teratogenic, subacute and reproductive effects.
If considering changing foods, I would suggest high quality food such as The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Food www.thehonestkitchen.com , or Acana Grain Free www.acana.com or Fromm's Four Star Grain Free http://frommfamily.com/products/four-star/dog
Click on their location finder to type in you zip code for food retailers.
Per Whole Dog Journal: The four Rs of dog training, can be used to address almost any training issue:
Applying the four 4 Rs to address Coprophagia.
REDUCE ENERGY: While debate continues as to whether coprophagia is a behavioral problem, theres no doubt that dogs who are bored, receive little aerobic exercise or interesting play, and have unlimited access to their own or other
animals droppings will be difficult to discourage. Increasing the dogs active exercise, giving him a larger assortment of interesting toys to play with, keeping the dogs exercise area clean and free from
excrement, keeping cat litter boxes out of reach, and giving the dog several small meals per day rather than only one large meal can all help reduce his interest in coprophagia or at least reduce his opportunity to indulge.
REDIRECT THE NEGATIVE: You need to first get your dogs attention OFF the stool and to you. You may be able stop the behavior using a no reward marker (NO!) or duck noise (AAAAACCCKKKKK!) If this doesnt work, you may need to try something stronger perhaps an alarm, loud horn or whistle any obnoxious noise to temporarily get the dogs attention back to you. If this doesnt work, try tossing a shake can (a small metal can filled with pebbles or coins) near your dog to get his attention. Some trainers have used a remotely operated citronella spray collar when your dog turns around to eat the feces, immediately push the button on the remote to spray the dog in the face with the citronella spray to get his attention away from the feces. You may need to have your dog on a lead that you can step on, to prevent him from getting to the feces before you can redirect him. NEXT let your dog know what you WANT him to do by redirecting his behavior. For some dogs, yelling DO YOU WANT A COOKIE and waving a treat bag in the air will get your dog running towards you! You might have to bring out your dogs favorite toy (A squeak toy? A tennis ball?) and entice him with that. You might engage your dog in a game of chase by running in the opposite direction! Do whatever it takes to get
your dog to come to you! The name of the game is do your business, then come running to me for a reward.
REINFORCE THE POSITIVE: When your dog comes running to you, enthusiastically reward the behavior with a verbal marker (YES, GOOD BOY) and an incredibly tasty high value food treat dry biscuits arent going to cut it here!
REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT: When teaching any type of new behavior, you must repeat, repeat, repeat! Practice makes perfect. Consistency is critical. Behaviorists estimate that it will take at least a month and possibly as long as six months to break this habit, but with practice (and the use of very high value treats), your dog will learn that running back to you after doing his business results in good things happening to him high value treats! Yum!
|I supposed I could live with it if it were just a dietary preference but last fall he went through a bad bout of diarrhea and we had to put him on antibiotics. The vet said dogs have a certain threshold with eating junk/crap and when they reach it, they get sick, then get medicine, then eat more junk/crap until they get sick again, etc. So I'd prefer to avoid what he went through back then but that means keeping an eye on him all the time, and often putting him on leash as you never know what they'll find, right?
|My pup does the same thing. Drives me insane! Hoping she out grows it. I currently give her Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy mixed with Wet Pedigree. About to try a more nutrient rich food and see if she'll knock it off.

|He's the only dog and will eat "selectively", as mentioned earlier. Not all poop tastes the same, I guess (yikes!).
|Are the other dogs, your dogs. Just wondering if they are on the same diet or not. Is he eating random dogs feces?
|Hmm... he might just like it! Mine will eat rabbit poop and would clean the litter boxes for us if we let him. Sorry, that's of no help!
I would be surprised if he didn't get nutrients from his food... he's on Taste of the Wild Salmon, + Salmon Oil + 1 packet Fortiflora, with Alaska Naturals Salmon for treats and occasional Lava Lake Lamb treats. He is every other day on Temaril-P, a very small dosage for his rhinitis-like allergies. Almost daily he gets a few frozen cranberries, or blueberries, or pieces of banana, a tidbit of clarified butter, a bite of raw ground bison, or wild rose berries directly from bushes outside (he loves them!). I would think that would all be balanced.
Also he does not eat his own feces, only other dogs', and not all. Maybe that's not important since he does it anyways?
I have heard that one of the reasons dogs eat their own feces is when they are not getting/digesting the nutrients that they need (so they eat the poop because it smells like it still has essential nutrition in it). A vet visit might be in order.
"Medical problems are a common cause, including pancreatic insufficiency or enzyme deficiency. Intestinal malabsorption and GI parasites are also common medical reasons that can prompt a dog to eat his own poop."
Why Do Dogs Eat Poop?
Now eating feces...
Malik, my GS, just turned 9 and it seems that in the past 3 months or so, he has developed a liking for some feces. Never his own, and he is certainly selective in his choice but it was never an issue before and I wonder why a dog would start doing that at that age.
He also has a tendency to want to eat the sticks he finds and plays with so I am keeping an eye on him at all times...

After Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Saturday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of the fans' thoughts.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @ArsenalDotCom
@oPontone - We were a little bit sloppy but I agree with Arsène Wenger's starting line-up. I think we will win the replay.
@kaltumebaba - We need to start converting our chances. Fabregas turned the game around with his brilliance and Walcott used his pace to good effect.
@wiregooner - It was good to see Sanchez Watt looking sharp.
@MwanaLienda - We will still get through at Elland Road!
@4fit4 - The game showed the beauty of the FA Cup. The team did well considering the number of games we have played.
@comm7 - We're still in the FA Cup and I am confident we will perform at Elland Road and go through to the next round.
@Bosunb - We didn't take our chances in the first half and will have to do better in the replay.
@edebrah - I'm encouraged by the grit shown to get the result. We could have easily accepted it was one of those days but the lads refused to give up.

I'm about at the end of my already-fraying rope, not to mention that I feel like I'm walking around in a constant semi-fuzzy state of losing and forgetting and not quite knowing what time or day it is or whether I've switched the laundry or what Jayci just asked me. And before y'all say anything, I KNOW you are probably oh-so (ironically) tired of hearing about how tired I am. And I'm sorry, but I need to vent somewhere and y'all are the lucky winners. Feel free to ignore this and not read a single word more. I will, however, remind you of my fragile and over-tired emotional state.
Let's take today as an example: Jayci was screaming in her room about how much she did NOT want to have "rest-time" (As usual, and therefore I dread rest-time, which is supposedly a "break" for me. Or not at all). I was bouncing Caden trying to get him to give in to sleep, and finally I went into Jayci's room and LAIDDOWNTHEHAMMER (or asked her in a slightly-whiny voice to please to stop screaming while fighting back tears of frustration). She was quiet for awhile, which was just enough time for me to lay down on the bed with Caden where we both slept for a good ten minutes before she started yelling again and woke us both up. And then Caden wouldn't go back to sleep, obviously.
Fast forward to bed-time. I nursed and gave Caden his bottle, rocked him for a minute until he was super-chill (aka completely asleep). I laid him in his bed, and he immediately FREAKED THE HECK OUT (which is his usual response to being put in his crib). He kicks his feet violently, spinning himself in circles, yelling and crying and getting all sweaty. I try patting him while he's still in the crib, picking him up and rocking him, ignoring him for a few minutes . . . nope. Nothing works. Finally, over an hour later, he is finally sleeping in his bed. But don't worry, he will wake up again in probably less than three hours. And then continue this pattern until morning. He will sleep until seven if we're lucky, but sometimes he refuses to go back to sleep after that 5am wake-up.
I feel like crying in hopelessness just thinking about the night ahead. In fact, it's 10pm on Saturday night, so I should probably go to bed. Immediately, that way I can get a good four hours of sleep. But not in one big chunk, because that would be just crazy. Sigh.
Any suggestions? Oh and we can't really let him cry-it-out too much for several reasons: 1-his health (I get freaked out because he gets all sweaty and gets himself more and more worked up and it takes forever to calm him down if he cries for more than five minutes or so at a time). 2-He shares a room with Jayci who is also not a good sleeper and when she wakes up it's even more of a disaster.

Wimbledon hopefuls beware of Muller the leftie from Luxembourg
LONDON When the Wimbledon draw is made next week there will be a few players hoping the name Gilles Muller is nowhere near theirs.
With leading tackler Brian Cushing sidelined by a season-ending knee injury, the undefeated Houston Texans have signed free agent linebacker Barrett Ruud to help fill the gap.
Cushing, who leads the NFL's third-ranked defense this season with 29 tackles, was placed on injured reserve by the Texans on Wednesday while eighth-year veteran Ruud was brought in and kick returner Trindon Holliday cut.
The 29-year-old Ruud had four consecutive 100-tackle seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2007 to 2010, ranked fifth in the league in 2008 and joint second in 2009.
He had 57 tackles and an interception for Tennessee last season before being placed on injured reserve with a groin injury. Ruud signed with Seattle in April, was traded to New Orleans in August and released by the Saints two days ago.
"He's a veteran who's been in systems somewhat similar to what we do," Texans coach Gary Kubiak told reporters about Ruud. "It gives us a little bit of flexibility going into game day."
Cushing, the Texans' most valuable player in 2011, tore knee ligaments in Houston's 23-17 win over the New York Jets on Monday and will have surgery in two-to-three weeks.
Holliday had returned three kicks for touchdowns during the preseason but was averaging 9.2 yards on punt returns and 19.4 on kickoff returns this season. Houston rank last in the league with 17.6 yards per kickoff return.
"By no means is it a statement to what we thought of Trindon," Kubiak said. "We have not been playing up to par on special teams, giving returners the opportunity."

TENNIS • Serena Williams broke the women's record for most titles in Key Biscayne, Fla., and Maria Sharapova set a new standard for futility in finals. Williams swept the final 10 games and earned her sixth championship in the event Saturday by rallying past Sharapova 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 at the Sony Open.
Sharapova completed a career Grand Slam by winning the French Open last year, but she's now 0-5 in Key Biscayne finals. After playing nearly flawless tennis for an hour, she began to miss with her serve, and Williams dominated rallies down the stretch.
Williams faltered only during the trophy ceremony.
Williams has won 11 consecutive matches against Sharapova, whose last victory in the rivalry came in 2004.
Falcons sign cornerback Grimes
NFL • The quarterback-needy Buffalo Bills have turned their attention to free agent Kevin Kolb. A person familiar with talks said Saturday night that the Bills are close to completing a deal to sign the sixth-year player. Kolb spent the past two seasons in Arizona, where injuries hampered his opportunity to prove himself as a starter. The Bills are in no position to be choosy. They're down to one experienced quarterback on their roster Tarvaris Jackson after releasing returning starter Ryan Fitzpatrick earlier this month.
• Cornerback Brent Grimes, who missed almost all of last season with an Achilles tendon injury, signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. Grimes started 28 games for the Atlanta Falcons in 2010-11 but was hurt in their opener last year. Grimes is expected to start for the Dolphins, who lost former Utah Ute Sean Smith via free agency to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Animal Kingdom wins in Dubai
HOrse racing • Animal Kingdom, ridden by jockey Joel Rosario, pulled away down the straight to win the $10 million Dubai (United Arab Emirates) World Cup for the first American victory in the world's richest horse race since 2009. The 2011 Kentucky Derby winner took the lead from Royal Delta with 500 meters left and held off a fast-charging Red Cadeaux to win by two lengths. Planteur was third.
Former Alabama AD Moore dies
COLLEGE ATHLETICS • Former Alabama athletic director Mal Moore, who played and coached under Bear Bryant, hired Nick Saban and presided over a heyday in athletics at his alma mater, has passed away. The university said the 73-year-old Moore died on Saturday at Duke University Medical Center. Moore had been in the Durham, N.C., hospital since March 13 with pulmonary problems.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The 18th-ranked North Carolina men's tennis team finished off its opening day with a 6-1 win over Gardner-Webb, leaving the Tar Heels with a spotless 2-0 mark after the opening day of competition. Earlier on Saturday, Carolina defeated Wofford 7-0 in its season opener at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.
The Tar Heels claimed early momentum as they swept all three doubles matches while dropping only five games. Freshman Stuart DePaolo and sophomore Oystein Steiro were first off the court at #3 as they defeated Benjamin Kaszas and Joao Poli 8-1. That was followed up quickly with a win at #1 doubles by the 44th-ranked duo of Esben Hess-Olesen and Nelson Vick as it defeated Ernest Alberch and Matthew Parker 8-1. UNC's Brett Clark and William Parker also won for the Tar Heels at the #2 doubles spot.
UNC went on to win the first five singles matches off the court to build a winning 6-0 advantage before the Bulldogs captured the #6 singles match. Carolina captured all five of the matches at the top-seeded positions in straight sets. Junior Nelson Vick won decisively 6-1, 6-0 at #2 singles while William Parker earned a 6-1, 6-3 decision at #3 singles.
Senior Taylor Meyer turned in one of the finest performances of the day as he defeated Matthew Parker of the Bulldogs 6-4, 6-0 at #5 singles, clinching shortly after Esben Hess-Olesen bageled Adam Knutsson-Sundblad in the second set of a 6-3, 6-0 triumph. Oystein Steiro had the last point for UNC as he downed Ernest Alberch at #4 singles by a 6-4, 6-3 score.
The Tar Heels will next be in action on Friday, January 19 in the ITA Kickoff Event being hosted by the University of Illinois at the Atkins Tennis Center. UNC will meet Tulsa at 2 p.m. in the first of two matches followed by Illinois against Tennessee at 6 p.m. The two winners meet on Saturday for a spot in the ITA Indoor Nationals February 15-18 in Seattle, Wash.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be a full-time student?
To be considered a full-time student you need to be registered for and attend at least 12 credit hours of classwork.
You may be considered full time and register for less than 12 credits IF: you have permission from an international student advisor (this must be done before the quarter). Reasons that an advisor can authorize less than full-time course load include authorized vacation quarters, a documented medical condition, or it is your final quarter before completing a degree.
Can I work while I am a student?
When can I have a vacation quarter?
You may take a "vacation" quarter and remain in the United States if you have completed 3 full time consecutive quarters. However, if you are coming to the United States for the first time and beginning your study in winter or spring quarter, you may take summer as a vacation quarter.
***Please note: "Vacation quarter" refers to a quarter when you are eligible to stay in the U.S. and not taking classes.
If my class is too hard, can I stop attending?
No. Please do not do that! If students stop attending their class, they will probably get a "V" grade. If they get permission to withdraw, they get a "W" grade. Both grades will not count toward the 12 credits that you are required to take! In this situation, it is better to get a bad grade and re-take the class rather than to stop attending it. Otherwise you will fall out of status!
Why is it important for me to maintain my F-1 status?
All student records must be updated in SEVIS every quarter ("registered in SEVIS"). Students who fail to maintain status lose the privileges of their student immigration status which can result in serious consequences. Consequences may include: denial of re-entry into the United States, denial of requests for practical training, denial of requests to change status, denial of future visa applications, and deportation.
Immigration regulations are very important to you during your studies at SCC. We recommend that you understand the immigration regulations and learn how to maintain your status. Please remember that the staff of International Education are here to help. We have access to the most up to date immigration information, so even if you hear from a friend an answer to your immigration questions, you should still come and speak with an International Education staff member! We want to help you to be successful as a student at SCC and achieve your academic goals!
What should I do if I think I am out of status?
What should I do if I plan to go out of the U.S. for a short time?
We recommend that you have the following:
1. Make sure that an advisor or other staff member in the International Education department has given you a travel signature (on Page 3) within the last 6 months.
2. A current passport valid for at least six months after your re-entry date.
3. A valid, current F-1 student visa stamp (sticker) in your passport.
4. Financial information showing proof of necessary funds to cover tuition and living expenses (such as a bank statement)
5. Your I-94
6. You may want to carry an unofficial copy of your transcript and your class schedule that shows that you are a student at SCC.
If you are on Optional Practical Training please check with an advisor to find out what other things are required.
If you are planning on leaving the United States for a longer visit, please come and see an advisor to complete a Leave of Absence/Withdrawal form (It is a red form). You will also be given information on how you can return to Shoreline Community College after your leave of absence.
What should I know about my documents?
Passport: Your passport must be valid at all times. Keep your passport and other documents in a safe place. Report a lost or stolen passport to the police, as your government may require a police report before issuing a new one. To renew or replace your passport, contact your country's consulate in the United States. For a list of foreign consulates in the United States you can check the U.S. State Department's website at
Visa: A visa is the entry stamp that a U.S. Consulate Office placed on a page in your passport. This visa is only an entry document. You need a valid visa to enter the U.S. However, you are permitted to stay in the U.S. even if your visa stamp has expired (Important: You must be in valid F-1 status though!)
I-20: Make sure your I-20 does not expire while you are a student at SCC! Please request an extension BEFORE the expiration date (We recommend that you submit an extension request at least a month before it is going to expire). If you will be traveling outside the U.S., remember to check Page 3 to and have a signature from us within the last 6 months.
I-94: This is the small white card that was stapled in your passport when you entered the United States.
**Updated information**
Instead of paper I-94 cards (arrival/departure records), students entering via an airport or seaport will be issued an electronic I-94 record. This change has already started in some airports but will become effective throughout the U.S. on May 21, 2013 (Except if students are entering from Canada or Mexico). Please note that at this time, we do not expect this change to have any impact on you other than not receiving a paper I-94 card.
What is SEVIS?
How does SEVIS work?
Once you have been accepted to attend Shoreline Community College we will share your information with SEVIS and the system allows us to create an I-20 for you. This I-20 is mailed to you. When you apply for your student visa the U.S. Consulate or Embassy confirms through SEVIS that the I-20 is valid.
When you arrive at the airport, the Customs officer updates your SEVIS record with your entry information.
When you arrive on campus, we confirm your arrival in SEVIS. Each quarter, we are required to update your information (that you are still a full-time student at SCC). IMPORTANT: If for any reason you cannot take at least 12 credit hours during a quarter, make sure you get prior permission from your advisor and complete an RCL form so that we keep your SEVIS record active!
After you complete your program at Shoreline and transfer to another university or leave the U.S., we are required to update your SEVIS record with that information.
What information is given to SEVIS?
- If the student has enrolled at Shoreline Community College, or failed to enroll
- A change of the student's or dependent's legal name or address
- Any student who graduates prior to the end date listed on their I-20
- Any student who fails to maintain status or complete their program
- Academic or disciplinary actions taken due to criminal conviction
- Whether the student drops below a full course of study without prior approval from the international student advisor
- Termination date and reason
- Other data generated by standard procedures such as program extensions, school transfers, changes in level of study, employment authorizations, and reinstatement
How long can I stay in the U.S.? After I finish my program, what grace periods am I eligible for?
- You can stay as long as it takes you to complete your degree ("Duration of Status"). However, you MUST follow the immigration rules on this handout and make satisfactory academic progress toward completing your program. You also get 60 days after your program completion as a grace period. You do not get the above 60 day grace period if you are not completing your program.
- Transfer students who have completed a course of study are eligible for transfer through the end of the 60-day grace period.
Official Information for F-1 Students is also available at the U.S. government's centralized website for students: http://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/students/. Please note that information on this website is general in nature and different schools will have different processes and policies in place.

Obamunism on a Nutshell
posted at 3:32 pm on July 2, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
I rarely do this kind of post; but today, I just can't resist:
Employers cut 125,000 jobs last month, the most since October, the Labor Department said Friday. The loss was driven by the end of 225,000 temporary census jobs. Businesses added a net total of 83,000 workers, the sixth straight month of private-sector job gains but not enough to speed up the recovery.
Unemployment dropped to 9.5 percent – the lowest level since July 2009 — from 9.7 percent. But the reason for the decline was more than 650,000 people gave up on their job searches and left the labor force. People who are no longer looking for work aren't counted as unemployed.
The latest figures suggest businesses are still slow to hire amid a weak economic recovery. Many economists were hoping to see more private-sector job growth, which would fuel the economy by boosting consumers' ability to spend….
In a separate report, factory orders fell by 1.4 percent in May, the Commerce Department said. It was the first decline after nine months of gains and the biggest drop since March 2009.
The reports follow a slew of data and developments this week that point to slower growth in the months ahead.
In May, home sales plunged and construction spending dropped after a popular homebuyers' tax credit expired on April 30. Consumer confidence has fallen sharply. The European debt crisis has sent U.S. financial markets downward, lowering household wealth. And more than a million jobless Americans have been cut off from unemployment benefits after Congress adjourned for a weeklong Independence Day recess without extending federal aid.
And now, as Monty Python might say, the punchline:
President Barack Obama said the economy is moving in the right direction, but not quickly enough. He seized on the latest data to push for more government stimulus — including the extension of jobless benefits — to aid the recovery.
Our entire economic policy is a complete catastrophe; everything we've tried has had the exact opposite effect; now we're on the brink of a double-dip recession — or a complete collapse — and the private sector is shattered, the government rapidly gobbling up the stabilizing corporations and crushing the wealth-producing small businesses that could have pulled us out of economic ruin. So clearly — we must redouble our efforts!
…That, gentle readers, is Obamunism in a nuthouse.

Removing nondividing, senescent cells in mice delays age-related disease
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN have found a causal relationship between senescent cells and certain age-related diseases in a mouse model, according to a report in Nature. While research on cell cultures has long suggested that senescent cells have a role in aging, the nature of this connection in live animals was less clear. The new finding suggests that cell senescence may be a fundamental mechanism that drives aging. The study was supported in part by the NIA.
In cell senescence, the cell turns off its capacity to produce new cells. This typically happens after a cell has divided so many times that it is in jeopardy of becoming abnormal and potentially dangerous. Thus, cell senescence is considered an anti-cancer mechanism. But the senescent cell, although different from its earlier self, is still alive and it works on many levels, by both sending and receiving signals.
In the Mayo Clinic study, researchers designed a process to eliminate all senescent cells in a strain of mice. Removing senescent cells delayed the onset of disease-related changes in fat tissue, skeletal muscle, and eye tissue. In addition, removing senescent cells later in the life of the mice was found to slow the progression of already established age-related disorders.

The Mother's Day Classic - What it means for Jodi.
12 May 2013 , 11:16 AM by Annie Reuss
Australia's largest charity fun run, the Mother's Day Classic, raising funds for breast cancer research, has been run around Australia at over 74 locations this morning, in Queensland that includes Chinchilla, Dalby, Kingaroy, the Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Innisfail, Mackay, Toowoomba, Hamilton Island and Brisbane.
Warren was out in the midst of it all, at the start line, right outside the ABC building where he spoke to Jan Bray, the Brisbane Chair and Regional Development Manager for the Mother's Day Classic as well as Jodi Beattie, a participant in the fun run, whose personal experience of breast cancer has made the last couple of years a very difficult time for her and her family.

Now that I've had a chance to see how the innards of the 1919 are assembled, I have to say that it's pure genius!! I finally understand how the booster works.
I am tempted to just machine my own trigger and sear, but it would be way easier to buy a set. It just so happens that I recently purchased a bunch of carbide tooling for my mill. Coincidence?
I'm considering milling my own RSP, but by the time I get 4140 plate and get it flattened, grooved, drilled, milled, and cut, I could have just bought an 80% RSP and been done with the damn thing.
Gotta love the genius of John Browning. Majority of the stresses are taken by the locked up bolt in the barrel extension attached directly to barrel. Receiver merely reacts the recoil of the moving internals.
1919a4 kits have not been available in such excellent condition and at such a low price for quite a while. Just too many excellent deals floating around. My money never had a chance.
Have fun with the build. I'm with you and just buy the RSP. There are 2 excellent providers of RSPs out there today - no need to make it yourself.
Don't narrow it down to 2 sideplates. There are several great RSP suppliers right now. Keith Gelsomino is another RSP manufacturer. It's identical to the ORF plate. We run group buys on his plates and I've heard nothing but good things about them. Engraving is also available for his plates.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the major plate suppliers.
IMHO, best plates available by far are from Sam Alvarez - T&S Manufacturing. His plates are head and shoulders above the rest. Sam is the only one I know of that heat treats the rear 2" of plate. There are others (Todd Grove and Keith Gelsomino) that are excellent and are about the same quality as each others, but Sam's top the list. ORF engraving is close to original but only close. Not sure who the several you are thinking of. Who else am I missing that is even in the same league and produces a marketable quantity of plates?
But, by all means, whoever you buy from, avoid Tapco plates - do they even still sell their RSP?.
BTW - Did Keith Gelsomino fix the feedway profile on his RSP? Haven't seen one lately.
Krinkov, can you give us a price breakdown on the different RSP's?
I want to start off saying that the products that Weaponeer sells on his site are all top shelf, excellent quality parts.
With that said, Shortrnd will have to give you group buy price on Keith Gelsomino plate.
ORF is retailing around $110-135 depending on options (engraving)
T&S Manufacturing with full heat treat ran around $140 last I recall with engraving an extra charge (I believe it was an extra $25).
T&S are the most expensive of the lot but IMHO worth it.
Here's some info on Sam's plates (Heavymg = Sam Alvarez)
Here's and e-mail I received from Sam this past weekend;
....been busy building complete semi A4's
and perfecting my green/gray parkerizing....also busy
w/designs for new semi-auto versions of other
mg's....60-80 hr weeks for over a year caught up w/me
months ago....had no energy left to post on A4.com
site after 12-14 hr days....hope to be back there soon
w/pics of green park, perfect A4 rivets, A4 riveting
jigs, new engravings (Buffalo Arms 1919A4, Border
Cities Industries 1919A4, Savage 1928 Thompson), and
....gotta go now....back to the shop....have 248 A4
plate blanks to start machining....
Looks like he's got a production run going right now.
I agree with Shortrnd in that you won't go wrong with using any one of the 3 RSPs I mentioned, I just believe Sam's plates are the best of the lot.
BTW - I think we all would agree that a must in 1919a4 build is using Black Bear rivets. I believe Weaponeer also runs a group buy on these from time to time. In the meantime here's Blackbear's website (his reputation is unparalleled);
Here's another excellent place you might need that sells some hard to find commonly needed correct 1919a4 build parts (e.g. pintle repair sleeves, pintle spacers, breech lock screw, top cover bolt cotter pin, etc)
All in all, don't take my word on it. I'd advise hanging around 1919a4.com and read and ask questions. They have a lot of tutorials on line, reviews of products, and a lot of very knowledgable guys and one girl that are more than willing to answer questions and share info.
P.S. for additional info on T&S Manufacturing (Sam Alvarez) go to 1919a4.com, click on discussion section and do a search by user name "Heavymg" and read on.....
Resistance is Futile ! Give yourself to the darkside, you know that true happiness is just a beltfed away.....................
Just ask me, I got a small pile of parts on my workbench and my internals at Hangman15's to be milled.
Wife is looking at me crazier everyday and 2 teenagers wondering wth has gotten into the old man ??????????? But my 15 y.o. daughter has said she wants to go to shoot it with me.........
Now how cool is that, a kid who actually wants to do something with her Dad ?:headspin:
The names of 3 really good plates have been thrown out there. Those are the "several" that I was referring to. I know of no problems with Keith's feedways. In fact I don't think I've heard of any problems what so ever.
Todd at ORF has more engraving options than anyone else. I have 2 of his plates that are ready to be built. I'm very happy with them so far but I haven't built them yet..... so we will see. I have no doubt that they will be perfect.
I've never dealt with Sam Alvarez but I've heard very good things about him. If his plates are heat treated then I think they are a good deal. I didn't think there were any heat treated plates out there so this is good to know. Honestly, do you need a heat treated plate for a semi build? Probably not but it sure wouldn't hurt.
I don't want to push anyone one way or another because as you can see there are more than enough good options to go with. Just enjoy your build and the end result.
Oh and there is an active group buy on Black Bear rivets at Weaponeer right now.
It's in the "potential" section but you can confirm for it.
This is a group buy for the semi conversion of your 1919 internals. Hangman does great work.
We will very shortly be running group buys on transit chests and MG42 AA adapters with T&Es.
There may even be a group buy one 16 1/4" barrels and shrouds.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
According to the manufacturer here are the Mechanical Properties:
The manufacturer describes it as one of the strongest and most durable materials available.
|A gallon of pineapple juice is probably 8 lbs. or so. If the can is thrown with maximum force at the panel, and hits on the edge of the bottom, it has a fair chance of breaking the panel... since all the force will be concentrated in a very small portion of a square inch.
Have you looked at these units ? Look at the Top Loaded refrigeration units in the "Products" section - using one of them will be fast, probably cost less and may well have a better finish than a home-made unit:
|Duke 7184
A gallon of juice used for distructive testing. What a unique concept. Being more realistic, There should be engineering numbers available to better evaluate the strength and durablility of this material.
1/16" FRP doesn't sound like it is strong enough to make an icebox. Even if it was an ideal ratio of glass to resin, it is still only a 1/16" of an inch thick. I seriously doubt that 1/16" FRP can take a gallon can of pineapple juice being thrown at it at maximum force.
I asked a few more questions, most notably from a refrigeration expert at Miller and Miller in Seattle. It turns out that the fiberglass in the FRP sheets is actually laid out in all directions not just one and because of the optimal resin/glass ratio and the high pressure it is in fact very sturdy material. He commented that throwing a gallon can of pineapple juice against it with all your might would not damage it at all. As such he suggested that ¼ was much too thick and in fact he had used as little as 1/16 to construct iceboxes.
The only downside he mentioned about the material was that it is quite heavy.

|The only issue I have with their pultruded FRP sheets, is that it sounds like the glass is all oriented in a single direction. IMHO, it would be better to have the fiberglass fibers oriented in more than a single direction, since it will be far stronger at resisting loads in multiple directions than FRP with all the fibers oriented in the same direction. This is why a good sheet of plywood is often far stronger than a board of fir of equal thickness. Even though plywood is usually made of fir, the fact that the fibers are laid in two directions, perpendicular to each other at every other ply... it gives the plywood far more strength than the wood has naturally.
It looks like their site just went down. Here is what they have...
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic
(FRP) Sheet
Of all the materials used to build refrigerator boxes, none is better than strong fiberglass sheeting. Stainless steel looks nice but it is difficult to work with and thermally conductive. Plywood is popular but needs to be fiberglass coated and often ends up with a rough, amateur appearance when you are done. Rparts has the answer - Bright white, pultruded fiberglass sheet.
What is "pultruding"
Pultruding is a high-volume production method of making certain types of fiberglass products. In pultruding, continuous fiberglass strands are run through a resin bath and then fed into heated high-pressure dies. The result is a consistently optimized resin/glass ratio unobtainable by any other method. Anyone familiar with fiberglass knows that an optimized resin/glass ratio means the highest strength attainable - often 3x higher than hand-laid glass.
How do I build a box with it?
The details of box construction are outside the scope of this web site at the present time (we'll be changing that in the future). However, in general, you would use this sheet in pretty much the same way as you would plywood. Use a regular saw and carbon-tip blade to cut individual sheets to size and create the box that you want. Lightly sand the edges then apply a strip of fiberglass cloth and resin (polyester or epoxy) to the outside edges to hold it together. Once it is dry, use thickened and white pigmented resin to create 1" fillets on the inside corners. If you are reasonably careful with the filleting, the result looks like it was just popped off a production mold. Once everything is set, you can paint the inside if you wish but it is not necessary. Even unpainted, the FRP sheet is very bright and stain resistant.
Does it bend?
RParts FRP sheet is available in 1/4" and 1/8" thickness. The 1/4" material is far too stiff to bend much at all The 1/8" material can be comfortably bent to a radius of about 18". Which thickness you should use in constructing your box depends on the size and shape. In most cases the 1/8" material has more than enough strength to rigidly support even the largest vertically hung holdover plate.
PLEASE NOTE: All FRP sheets are subject to a shipping charge adjustment. We will contact you with details shortly before the order ships if this adjustment is applicable.
I would use epoxy resin, rather than polyester, as it will probably give you a stronger bond and is more resistant to most chemicals. Should probably gelcoat or paint the interior of the icebox just in case.
I would go with the 1/4" just to be safe... Don't want your beer falling through the bottom of the icebox into the bilge.
Thanks Sea Dog... that was my concern as well.. The information on FRP sheets can be found at: White Fiberglass Sheet
As far as the construction of the box is concerned, they instruct to: lightly sand the edges then apply a strip of fiberglass cloth and resin (polyester or epoxy) to the outside edges to hold it together. Once it is dry, use thickened and white pigmented resin to create 1" fillets on the inside corners.

Hey Guys!
I wanted to share the latest paint up that I just finished. This was my second layered/airbrushed paint job, and I have been working on this over the course of the last two weeks. I felt like I wanted to attempt a paint scheme that seems fairly neglected...The PRE PRO 3(PP3).
Precursor to the ESB Hero that we all know and love, you can see the direct lineage from one to the other. Often mistaken, yet different in so many ways, I found that I love this paint scheme version. Its gritty, well worn, and battle damaged. Just as complex as the ESB but seemingly less refined.
So after doing some research and checking out all of the amazing PP3 photos in TDH gallery from the Master Replicas photo shoot (Art's photos?), I decided to take the longer road and try to channel my best Jayvee and Superjedi to apply, scratch, knick, gouge, and stain my way to a complete PP3.
Armed again with a Cold Cast lid from Asok, killer stencils from Raf, and enough Humbrol, Model Masters and Floquil to spray myself to death, I was able to produce this paint up. All the while constantly eyeing reference photos to the point of driving myself crazy. let me know what you guys think and please, once again, if anyone has any suggestions I would love them.
Here it is...

Post-castration swelling
So here's my story...
my 1 year old GSD was castrated last week. The vet kept him over night and we picked him up the following afternoon. When they sent him home, his scrotum was at least the same size as it was before the castration, if not a little bigger, and there was a fair bit of bruising (maybe 20-30% of his scrotum looked bruised). I crated him that evening with the e-collar on and most of the next day, just to restrict activity, and after that I started letting him wander around the living room - but no playing and if he started getting wound up he went back in the crate. We rearranged our furniture so that there was no place for him to go that I couldn't see him from where I was working on the couch, and if I so much as went to pee or fill a glass of water the e-collar went back on. I was bound and determined not to let him lick that site or do too much.
The next day I went to look at his site and noticed that the bruising was spreading, now we were up to about 50%, and it was a little more swollen. But he was acting fine - good appetite, friendly, seemed totally oblivious to the fact that anything had happened and kept giving me those sad eyes, not understanding why I wouldn't play with him. No signs of infections or anything. So then I took him out to pee, looked away for a minute to readjust my glove, and he'd launched himself into a nearby snowbank. :mad: He managed to either scrape off the scab over the incision on the snow or something and he was dripping bloody fluid all over (not just blood). After about an hour when I was just starting to consider the emergency vet it stopped. After that, I started icing it for 5-10 minutes or so a few times a day.
That was 2 days ago. Now, It's about twice the size it was, and is 100% black and blue. The site itself still looks fine to me, it's no warmer than his normal skin temp, no pus or discharge and no redness other than the purply red of the bruises, but he was acting in so much pain today that he didn't sit down for 2 hours. He just stood there panting and whining, and when he started trying to sit he'd yip and bolt forward and look behind him like he thought someone had kicked him in the butt. Needless to say I drove him straight to the vet the earliest time they get him in today.
Vet takes a look at it and kind of freaked out on me. Said that it was absolutely *not* normal swelling, it was a complication, and it was infected. She told me that I let him do too much activity, and that he was probably licking it when I wasn't paying attention. She asked me how long it had been swollen like that - saying it didn't even look like he'd been castrated. I said that it was swollen when I picked him up from the surgery (at least to the size it had been before i dropped him off) and she kind of snapped at me saying, "It did not look like that when he left here" (I didn't say it did, let me finish grrr). But that it had been getting steadily more swollen and more bruised since then, and told her about the one jump into the snow bank.
She gave him antibiotics, two pain medicines, and I'm supposed to be doing warm compresses on his scrotum every couple hours. He's also restricted to the crate for the next two days (this should be fun), and is supposed to be in the e-collar 24/7, even when he's eating. And if it's not showing improvement in 2 days she's taking him back for surgery to drain it.
So tonight I tried to do a warm compress on it, and the second I even touched his scrotum (literally the second, there was no pressure at all) he screamed. That's the best word I can think for it, it was a noise I'd never heard from him before. I tried again a few hours later (After another pain pill) and got the same response. I'm not sure what to do now, the warm compresses don't seem to be an option. The poor boy's in so much pain, and hating being crated like this, and I'm feeling like a rotten dog-mom.
I don't know what to do other than hope the antibiotics and crating works before he has to have more surgery... I just hate this...
This is what is difficult in post-surgery instruction - what pet owners think is limited, is not, in many cases. I tether, crate, leash potty after surgeries. I use an e-collar, shirts, boxer shorts so they can't get to the incision. The one time I wasn't strict, there was a good sized seroma (female spay), but no infection.
Did you test the temp of the warm compress on the inside of your wrist?
Dogs do learn that if they react, you will stop with the compress. If the compress is a reasonable temp, and you are only gently touching it, then I would report to the vet as soon as they open this morning. And I would call anyway with an update.
I also take cell phone pics of incisions when I get home, and daily, so I have a record of what things look like. I would start doing that now.
Do not feel bad about crating and the collar. I've had dogs on 6 weeks of crate rest after big surgeries - and did not feel bad for a second that they were in there - they needed that time to heal and rest, from the inside out.
This happened with one of my males, he decided to take a flying race around my yard and boom, his scrotum swelled up bigger than it was originally.
My vet said it sometimes happenswith older dogs especially, hard to tie off all those vessels or something or othr..Anyhow, they aspirated it, (no surgery required), drained it off, and yes warm/cold compresses.
I also agree in taking pictures...
Are you confident in your vet? I'm kinda surprised she didn't decide to just try and aspirate it to relieve some of the pressure?
and I agree with Jean
if there was swelling when you picked him up, why not point this out to the vet? yes e collar stays on 24/7. i would ask about IV antibiotics at this point. sounds like you didn't completely understand the post op instructions/
That's the thing, except for the one jump into the snow bank, I followed their activity instructions. He only went out on the leash. The care sheet says "no running, jumping, stairs, or rough housing". He was confined to a small area of the living room with me where I could constantly have eyes on him, and any time I couldn't directly look at him his e-collar went on. They didn't tell me to crate him for the first day, I just thought it would be best to be safe. I had no reason to believe that him walking around the livingroom would be bad, and that was ALL I let him do. And yeah, the one jump probably was enough to do some damage, but it was getting worse before that.
The compress definitely wasn't too hot. It was just a washcloth run under hot water, by the time I got it to him I wasn't even sure it was warm enough to do any good, anyway.
I had been taking pictures since the day after. I even called the vet the day before I brought him in and asked about the swelling and they said that it was normal for his scrotum to swell, and that gravity would make it swell more, too, just to keep watching the incision, and as long as the incision looked fine and he was acting normal (at the time he was) he didn't need to come in.
I know that it's important and necessary, I just wish he'd stop howling. He's got too much energy.
Also, she said that he has to go back under anesthesia to aspirate it - that's what I meant by another surgery.
I am so sorry you and your dog are going through this. You have sufficiently reinforced my decision to not fix my pup. At least not for a long time. Good luck. Please keep us updated on what happens. :(
Well swelling is normal, but not swelling that is bigger than what you started with..
I imagine the vet doesn't want to try and aspirate without sedation, mine was a very easy dog to work on so he didn't require sedation
I have sent over close to 2000 dogs to be either spayed or neutered since my time at the shelter. They go to a clinic in another town and we pick them up the next day. I have only seen about 4 or 5 serious complications in that time. We almost never use an e-collar. We only do if we observe them licking. They go back in their kennels and we take them outside to potty. We limit exercise and all exposure to water (bathing/swimming) until the glue has sufficiently set (at least 5 days.) One of the worst we saw was one of the few dogs that got stitches and he had a reaction to the stitch material. In 99.9 % of our dogs you wouldn't know by the next day that they had even had surgery. The point of all of this is to say that I can't figure out why I hear so many scary tales of things gone wrong. We use a high volume spay/neuter clinic which has vet students doing surgeries and yet we have such a lower incidence of negative occurences. I just wonder about the competency of many vets out there..........
rad10, my comment was not meant to upset you. for some reason i didn't finish my sentence which should have included "or the post op instructions were not made clear to you". it is also possible there was nothing you could have done to prevent this.
I'm sorry your dog is having such terrible complications! The last foster I had neutered had a little swelling but not that much and I didn't keep him crated. I kept him quiet but did take him for short leash walks several times a day.
It sounds like there is something else going on. especially if the site was very swollen when you picked him up: perhaps an allergy to the stitches or something else?
I hope he improves quickly!

Just in love with them all. All of the amazing colors and materials and the way they can help you tell little stories about your day. Yesterday I was looking for a little sunshine indoors. My little one had been home from school for two days, fighting a little bug...and while he laid on the couch watching a movie I created something oh so cheery. Now, day three...the little temperature has broken, smile on his face, finally a meal in his belly and my heart is at peace. So while he was doing his catch up work...I worked along side crafting a little something to tell the story of the day...Created a little gift set with the same design in mind as created in the post below. A shabby chic card using a hand made fabric, paper and doily flower topped with a vintage button. Pink Paislee and Glitz paper, Precious Remembrance Calendar Stamp Set and Birthday Stamp Set, Prairie Bird Boutique wrinkle ribbon, lace, the pink felt from Fancy Pants (left over from die cut flower shape).Used the same material to create a new little bird friend found here. A very simple pattern and just so cute! Added a little crepe paper to a wire basket from Stampinton and embellished...of course.The tag, from Remember Me Emily, is stamped with Precious Remembrance Calendar sentiment stamps. Check out Precious Remembrance shop here . Also, you can see more of the first project by visiting their blog here.
What color or style mood are you in today? Happy crafting where ever you find yourself!

A friend acquired several acres of land last year, has been living on it for a few months, and wants to start raising some quail and probably a few chickens. There is plenty of information on the interwebz, a lot of it way more complex than we want to get. We want to raise them for meat and eggs. Ive seen a lot of info on raising the coturnix quail, but on this property there is already a covey of 12-15 bob-whites that are fairly tame and accustomed to human presence. I almost think we could provide food and shelter and a nesting area and let them roam outside of that. But I also like the idea of a controlled environment that they never leave.
My biggest concern is the brooding pen that would be needed to raise chicks, it seems like the temperature requirements are more specific from the info ive read than just "keepin 'em warm".
Anyone have any experience with this?
