Green Bay Looks for Fourth-Straight Win on Saturday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Playing its final non-conference home game and in search of its fourth-straight victory, the Phoenix aims to carry momentum into Horizon League action by playing well against visiting St. Francis.
Green Bay (8-3) hosts the Fighting Saints, an NAIA opponent from Illinois, at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Resch Center. The game continues a five-game homestand, which concludes with Horizon League games against Cleveland State (Jan. 2, 7 p.m.) and Youngstown State (Jan. 4, 1 p.m.).
Getting impressive play from both of its All-Horizon League players, Green Bay has won five of its past six games, including two home wins last week over Tennessee Tech (76-49) and Fairfield (74-58). Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) continues to lead the team in scoring (19.7) and assists (4.6) while senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) has made 16 of his past 27 three-pointers and is averaging 15.5 points per game.
The Phoenix defense was stifling in its home wins last week, holding its opponents to a combined 29.2 percent shooting from the field and forcing 20.5 turnovers per game. On Dec. 17, Tennessee Tech shot 38.3 percent from two-point range and just 1-of-16 from long range. On Dec. 21, Fairfield made 37 percent (10-27) on threes but only 20 percent from inside the arc (6-30).
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #35 Vincent Garrett, G, Sr., 6-6, 220
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: For fans who are unable to attend Saturday's game, the contest will be available on the Horizon League Network (live video) and WNFL 1440 AM (live audio) with Matt Menzl (play-by-play) and Cordero Barkley (color analyst) on the call.
HISTORIC NIGHT: In Green Bay's win over Fairfield, Brown totaled a career-high 40 points by making 12-of-17 shots from the field and 14-of-15 free throws. Brown is the third player in program history to ever score 40 or more points, and his effort was the first 40-point game since Tony Bennett scored 44 points against Wright State on Feb. 11, 1989.
MORE ON 40: Brown finished the Fairfield game with 40 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals. He is the third player in the country since 2000 to record those numbers (Illinois' Brandon Paul and Florida State's Al Thornton).
WINNING WEEKLY: Brown won Horizon League Player of the Week accolades for the second time this season on Monday. Including Sykes' three weekly awards, Green Bay has now earned five player of the week awards in seven weeks this season. That total ties the 1995-96 squad for the most in program history.
STUFFING STATS: Brown's 40-point night against Fairfield overshadowed the fact that the 7-foot-1 senior also grabbed his 700th rebound and went over 250 career blocked shots in the win. With 1,388 points, 700 rebounds and 251 blocks, Brown is one of only two players in the country to rank in the top-40 nationally in all three career statistics (Buffalo's Javon McCrea). He is on pace to become the only player in Horizon League history to accumulate 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 250 blocks.
BUILDING BLOCKS: With an average of 7.9 blocks per game, the Phoenix is second nationally. Green Bay has blocked 87 shots through 11 games and is well on its way to breaking the single-season program record for the fourth-straight season. Alec Brown (36), Jordan Fouse (22) and Greg Mays (12) are all on pace to block more shots this season than last season. Of the program's top-12 all-time single-game team block efforts, six have been recorded in 2013-14 and 10 have happened in the past three seasons.
ON GUARD: Last season, head coach Brian Wardle's focus on the defensive end came to fruition with the Phoenix leading the Horizon League in field goal percentage defense and blocks. Green Bay has carried over the strong defense into this season. Wardle's squad leads the conference in field goal percentage defense (.379) and blocks (7.9) while ranking second in scoring defense (66.4) and steals (8.2).
GRAND THEFT PHOENIX: With 15 steals against Tennessee Tech, Green Bay came just one shy of tying the program's record of 16. The 15 swipes tied for the third-most all-time and were the most by a Phoenix squad since Dec. 13, 1989.
STREAKING SOPHOMORE: Sophomore Jordan Fouse opened the 2013-14 season by extending two impressive statistical streaks. The reigning rebounding champion in the Horizon League has grabbed five or more boards in 30 consecutive games. At Eastern Michigan, the 6-foot-7 sophomore wing had a streak of blocking a shot end at 30.
TOUGH LOSSES: Green Bay has dropped three games this season, losing to Wisconsin (12-0), Harvard (10-1) and Eastern Michigan (7-3) teams that have combined for a 29-4 record to date. The Phoenix held second-half leads against both Wisconsin and Harvard.
NATIONAL RANKINGS: Green Bay has three different players in the top-50 nationally in a statistical ranking. Sophomore Jordan Fouse is tied for fifth in the country in steals per game (3.0), senior Alec Brown ranks 16th in blocks per game (3.3), and junior Keifer Sykes is 44th in points per game (19.7).

Anyone have any tips on keeping the ankle spats from moving around? Do you fasten them more on the loose side or tight side? A minor detail, but it's driving me flippin' nuts!!! :wacko
So far I have decided to place a velcro square on the top side of my new boots (once I get them) and a corresponding square on the underside of the spat. I am also going to add an elastic stirrup to the flightsuit pant leg to keep it tucked in the boot (may not be canon, but it's functional!).
Any other ideas? :cheers

need opinions on new garage
I am looking at putting up a new garage. I got an offer for a new steel building 24'x30'x10'. It will be fully insulated, walls and roof. Four skylights, 8'x8' door on the end of the building and 1 framed entry door. It's a complete building with all trim with a 50 year warranty. I have to put in the foundation for the building, which consists of 8 concrete pillars and frostwall. Concrete floor could come later as money allows. The offer I got was for the complete building materials delivered for $6,200. Does this sound like a good deal?
I was faced with this very question about 5 years ago. I drew up some plans using conventional building materials, made a materials list, and priced it at several building supply stores. There was as much as $300 diference in some of the suppliers. This would be the only accurate way to do it. In my case, it was about $2,000 cheaper to use the conventional building supplies over the metel building. I ended up building my own 24X30 garage, planning every work bench, ac outlet, compressor location, etc into the project before I started building. This was truely my dream garage and a job that used to take me 2 hours I can now do in 30 minutes because I have everthing at my fingertips.
I think you would be a lot better off installing your concrete first before the building goes up. The cost will be less because it is easier for the trucks and workers to get in there to pour and smooth the concrete. Also, I would recomend a combination of fibered concrete and wire mesh to prevent the concrete from cracking. This is something you will need right from the beginning if you want to work on your cars in the shop. The slab I had pored was $2200 but I am sure the price would be higher now.
Your price seems reasonable. I just built a 24 by 28 with wooden framing. I poured the footer and foundation then built the structure. I plan on pouring the floor next year when I have the $$.
It cost me about $300 for the wood to build the forms ( most of which I can reuse )and about $445 for the concrete. I hired a couple of guys to help with the pour ( see my post about Bill" ).
The garage package cost $4200 w/ 9 ft walls, 16 by 8 insulated steel door, shingles etc. It did not include electrical, drywall, siding or an opener. The steel package was at least $1500 more.
BTW prices are in Canadian $$.
also the best invetment I ever made is installing a single post hydraulic hoist (runs by air compresser). Bought it used from a local service station supplier for $75. They are jerking them out of the ground as they tear out old service stations and new stations use modern surface mounted or dual post hoists. Add another $75 for the hydraulic oil, $35 for a new control valve, dig an 8'deep hole and run 1/2" air line to it, descale the outside of the hoist container, POR15 and tar coat the container, install it in the hole level w/ the concrete slab, dump a couple of sacks of cement for a bottom footing, back fill the hole and finish the slab to the contianer, install a new piston seal and oil. Now you can change oil and brakes sitting in a chair!
Well, I think it is a bit high, but it depends on what you want. I went with a cut, fab and weld kit. Basically just all the materials. Also, I have not seen any sheet metal warrantied for over 20 years. It is only warrantied not to fade for 20 and against catostrophic failure for less, usually around 5 years. Just some of that good ole fine print. It cost me $5000 for my 30x40x12 steel building delivered. I also did my own concrete work on the buddy system and it cost me $1500 for costruction materials and concrete.
I am however, very thrifty and found the absolute most economical way to build my dream shop. I figure I am not going to pay for any work I can do myself.
Also, I would save for a little longer and get that concrete floor. You will be much happier.
For $6200 you can put up a pretty nice stick build on a slab.
Right now I have a 25x30 foot shop in the back yard. Its nice and all BUT it is not big enough.
get one bigger than you think you need cos' it ain't gonna be. and definately get the slab.
and while your at it, I would run some plumbing out there too. might as well.....
I had a 30 x 40 pole barn built in 1997. It was a cashway lumber package (I believe they operate in ohio). It has two metal doors w/elec openers, 1 metal entrance door, two metal sliding windows, is vinly sided, shingled roof and all wood. The kit cost 6500.oo and another 3,000.00 to have it erected. Cement set me back about 1500.00. I wired it myself (materials about 250.00 and lights about 250.00). It is not insulated, but I can heat it up very quickly with 110000 but salamander. I think it's a good setup, but you can see what it cost and compare. Good luck
BEFORE the slab is laid, run lots of PVC chases under the slab. PVC is cheap and easy to run. So much easier/cheaper before the mud goes down.
Stub them up and use cap 'em off. Use them to run wire for lights, air & water after the building is up. You can never have enough lights. check with your local School board - (repository). Our local one sells off lots of great stuff. 4' or 8' flourscent lights $1 each (with bulbs). I picked up an ultrasonic cleaner (big enough for a carb or handgun) for $5. I don't think they knew what it was. I also got some lockers from a GYM. I use them for POL storage.
Locate your compressor AS FAR AWAY from the garage as you can. (noise conflicts with stereo.)
Setup motion detectors 4'-5' up the wall. A dog/cat won't set them of, but an upright(unwanted) person will set it off.
Leave the phone out of the garage, get used refrig (big-boy sodas). Get a used portable dishwasher. Use it (instead of the one in the house) to clean parts - Cheap and works great!
Hang the speakers from the ceiling, they won't take up workspace.
[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: 49 T&C ]</p>
definitely listen to 49 tnc. even i screwed up and didn't put a pipe in for electrical, and i teach the stuff!! have to use a 3/4" hammer drill now to make room for 1/2" conduit. all i need are a coupla lights, its a former shed i'm selling off in a coupla months. i used 6 yards of fiber mesh mix for the "mono-pour" footings and slab at same time for a 12x22" garage. on the week ends it is $10 more per yard. it came to $580. my bud did the finish work. now i have to price a roll up door.
More garage thoughts,
* GOOD fire extinguisher - not just the same
size as you keep in your car.
* Good First Aid kit (more than band-aids)
should include eye wash & butterfly strips
* Good stereo
* Get a big-assed squirrel cage fan from HVAC
guys, they really move a lot of air.
Available and cheap.
If you're even THINKING of a lift, PLAN now for it. You need a 6" slab under the lift. A little more forming and extra concrete will pay off BIG time when you put the lift in.
Spend the extra $$ and seal the fresh concrete with 2-part epoxy floor paint. Do it before you put anything in the garage. ( A fresh burnout is cool, but) the finished floor is money WELL spent... and it will stick to a fresh floor / it wont' stick to old grease or oil stains. It makes cleanups a breeze.
Think about a floor drain - enables you to wash down everything. Depending on zoning or restrictions in your neighborhood.
You can never have enough electrical outlets. Conduit and wire are easy to run. Many contractors will work with you - you run the conduit, pull the wire and hang the boxes (the time consuming work they don't really want to do), then they come in and hook things up to code - saves you money and meets inspections.
Gotta have a big stereo. (I find a TV a distraction to what I'm working on, but hey that's just me.) If the shop is far away from the house, get a couple of hand-held walkie talkies. You never know when you need an extra hand.
If you're lucky enough to build a big garage, set aside one area for a 'tool crib' where you can store big things (welder, cherry picker, extra engine stands & less frequently used tools) You always need them, but you know where they are.
Think vertical storage - If you have enough height, you can easily build a loft and store household crap up there without sacrificing valuable floorspace.
I'm sure you've seen enough of your buddy's shops and picked up on slick tricks/useful pieces you can encorporate in your garage. I spent a lot of time desinging & planning mine. It makes it a lot of fun to go to the shed and work on cars when the shop
I built a 24 by 36 post frame metal building last year with 16 by 8 overhead door 10 foot side walls one walk in door 2 windows and poured my floor myself ( with help from friends of course),wired it with plenty of outlets 110 and three 220, 8- 4 foot flourescent lights,bought a 30 gallon 5 HP air compressor, a used Hobart wire welder,cutoff saw,and plumbing for my air lines and insulated the whole shop for under 8,000.00.Pretty good I thought.I got the building from Menards for 2800.00 without the insulation.
A few years ago,i built a 32x36 garage,built it out of slump block to match the house,I put 3 garage doors on it,I bought 2 new roll up ones for the front and a used one for the rear,I got it set up where i can open both doors and drive thru into my back yard,problem is I have to much stuff to do that any more.The garage is to small now,I think that they are never large enough,Cost about $7500,did a lot of work myself.Make your tall enought for a lift.Good luck
If and I emphasize IF you build a garage and put up a block foundation have the foundation built up AT LEAST 2-3 feet then build the 8' walls on top of that. For around $2000 or a little less you can get a decent 2 post hoist or a 4 post drive on. With the taller foundation walls and standard stick built walls you will add only a couple of hundred more for the block laying but will save that in the savings from buying longer lumber. Plus with the taller foundation you can turn loose with a hose if you have to. Put in a phone. You never know when you got to call a bud up for a helping hand. Have a phone jack around the bench somewhere if you ever want to have a laptop out there. No need to run PVC in the slab when you can run wires above. Plan on a ceiling which is absolutely necessary if you plan on doing any painting. It will keep dust from collecting on top of the rafters, plus it will keep the heat down. Have a refrigerator for the brewskies. Run cable out there so you won't miss the latest on the car shows. Fix it up so when the buds come over to shoot the **** they can sit around and feel comfortable. I put a couple of bar stools at a counter just for convenience. I also have a wall between so I can park my ride (if I ever get it completed) and the other side is strictly for working. I'll snap a couple of pics and post them to show what it looks like. It's not big enough but it was all the room I had. I built it 28'x 36' and the stalls equal out to 14' on one side and 22' wide on the other. I was practically raised in a garage so when I finally got on I wanted it nice. I just wish I added the bathroom to it like my wife suggested but it would have been a problem with where the septic was, but if you can by all means do it. Run some extra phone wire just in case you want to add an intercom system between the house and garage. Run all your lines thru some kind of pipe underground (4" PVC would be good) and leave a rope in the line if you ever want or need to pull something thru. I also added 2 ceiling fans for the summer to move some air as a garage can get awful stuffy and in the winter it will pull the heat off of the ceiling and back down to where you need it. Sorry to go on but when I talk about my garage I tend to go on. That is one thing I am proud of. Whe we built it Weimer and I had it framed up in about a day and a half. Build it like you would live in it. You will be spending quite a bit of time in there so why not have all the creature comforts. Now all I have to do is get the carpet ordered so I don't have to lay on the cold concrete.
49 T&C has nailed it, especially with the... "Spend the extra $$ and seal the fresh concrete with 2-part epoxy floor paint." & the "vertical height" points.

Mike from Ohio asks:
I got a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 (Home Premium Edition) and Internet Explorer 7. I find that I cannot run my Intel webcams because the webcams, which ran fine under XP Pro, are 32 bit and my new system is 64 bit. Other than buying new cams, or getting a backwards compatible higher version of Windows 7, is there any other way I can run the 2 cams I already have?
Well Mike, the answer is that you may be able to salvage those old webcams, depending on how much the manufacturer is invested in keeping them running.
The bad news about the jump from 32 to 64 bit is that a lot of hardware stopped working. The good news is that, for most of it, it is simply a question of whether or not the device manufacturer created a 64 bit driver for the device. For instance, I had an old Canon printer that I dearly loved when I got my first 64 bit machine, and the printer simply wouldn't communicate with the computer. When I followed the steps that I'm going to show you below, I discovered that the printer was so old that there was no 64 bit driver for it, and, according to Canon, there would never be. The printer was just so old that looking for an updated driver for it was a little like looking for a VHS/Blu-Ray combo player. If it's the same case with your webcams, then your best bet is to post them on Ebay with a note that they are NOT 64 bit compatible and buy a new one.
The first thing that you'll want to do is to try to find the drivers through your device manager. The easiest way to do this is by clicking on the Windows icon in the lower left of the screen and entering the phrase "Device manager" in the search box.
Click on the entry under "Control Panel" and that will open your device manager. Your webcam will be listed under "Imaging Devices".
Right-click on your webcam and click "Update Driver Software". If there is a 64 bit driver available, it should update automatically, then you're good to go. If it doesn't, then you're probably out of luck. You can, however, do a Google search for your webcam model number along with the phrase "64 bit driver". This may yield results where the automatic updated didn't. If it does, then go download the driver and run your webcams.
But bear in mind that there are worse things than buying a new webcam. Modern webcams blow the old webcams out of the water as far as performance and quality go, and they're significantly less expensive. For instance, for the money that I spent on my Microsoft Lifecam VX-3000 several years ago, I can now buy a Logitech webcam with a five megapixel still camera and HD streaming.
Good luck with your search and I hope that this helps.

Arsenal's first-team squad is known to have a number of useful table tennis players amongst them and judging by a group of youngsters that represented the Club in the Fred Perry Urban Cup earlier this month, they are not the only ones.
Four local youngsters took part at the National Finals at the London Business Design Centre in Angel, north London last week, which was the culmination of the nationwide table tennis competition aimed at grassroots level and run in partnership with Premier League 4 Sport (PL4S) and the English Table Tennis Association.
The Urban Cup brings together young people from all over the country by giving them the opportunity to play the sport while representing their local Premier League club. The four lucky youngsters who sported Arsenal colours on the day had battled through intra and inter-schools competitions for their right to join the other participants competing in the final showdown.
The boys' team, consisting of Jay Timms and Romayne Stewart, beat off some excellent competition to win an incredible semi-final against Blackburn Rovers and then in the final, Aston Villa. The boys were undefeated in all of their matches during the day and provided a stiff test for the other teams. On the girls' side, Duresa Sllamniku and Hollie Cox again did exceptionally well and won three out of their five matches to finish fifth in the final standings.
Arsenal in the Community also supplied 16 young officials on the day, pooled from local schools St Aloysius College, Highbury Fields Girls and St Mary Magdalene Academy. Despite their lack of officiating practice, each individual showed a clear understanding and confidence and did Arsenal proud.
Jay Timms, one half of Arsenal's winning boys team, commented: "I loved the experience. It was really good fun to see other players from different parts of England and what they can do. The hardest match we played was against Blackburn in the Semi-Finals. My opponent was very tall and hit the ball really hard!"
Darius Knight, UK No 3 and Urban Cup Ambassador said: "There was some great table tennis talent at this year's tournament. I definitely spotted some stars of the future and it is through initiatives like this we will see more and more youngsters taking up the sport. Congratulations to everyone that took part in the finals and well done to the promising kids from Arsenal."
Arsenal's Premier League 4 Sport table tennis programme has gone from strength to strength since it started in late 2009. Arsenal in the Community runs satellite clubs in six north London venues during the week and have established a new community club.

OCD, language, and my place on the disability spectrum, part two
At the Feministe post above, amandaw came to the conclusion that "temporarily non-disabled" was the best way to express the privilege that comes with functioning as our society deems acceptable. I like the less ominous term "currently non-disabled" from the comments better, but in both I love the emphasis on the temporal. It helps to focus on the idea that everyone experience this oppression, or they will.
It also frames my experiences, recent and long-ago, in a helpful way. Though I am successful, and confident, and happy today, I was not at one point in large part because of ableism (and sexism, and lookism, but that's another story for another time). I did not receive adequate care for my issues with anxiety, OCD, and trichotillomania until I specifically went to a psychiatrist at 20 and said "I am having problems, and I think it might be OCD." When I went to a psychiatrist at 13, without any idea of what was going on (I was not yet skilled at Google), I was mis-diagnosed and my anxiety was ignored, in accordance with a host of other issues with that specific doctor.
I am not physically disabled, nor am I usually significantly mentally disabled.
However, I am always on the OCD spectrum, manifesting symptoms of trichotillomania (the urge to pluck one's hair out) and both obsessiveness and compulsion.
I usually commit myself to hand-wringing about my privilege, so by identifying as oppressed and not privileged in this situation is uncomfortable to me. But though this disability is invisible, and though it is not always significantly disabling, it is always there. Recognizing it, and holding a claim on being on the disability spectrum is a powerful way for me to recognize the parts of me that are unproductive, and help me to mediate and navigate my disability as a feminist.
The temporal inclusion of the terms used to describe non-disabled persons helps me claim my healthy functioning today. I'm not 100% OCD-free, and never will be. But it's currently not disabling.
I am lucky. I do not need to rely on pharmaceutical drugs to manage my disability. I'm able to manage it by fighting it mentally and taking care of my body.
However, I am not neurotypical. I think neurotypical is a useful term, but it does not describe how I function. My OCD is not disabling because I know how to fight, not because I'm rid of it. OCD is not neurotypical, and I have OCD.
It's weird to exist between privilege and oppression, especially as a woman of mostly clear-cut and powerful privilege. To me, it's similar to my position on the fat spectrum. I'm a size 12/14 (though that fluctuates) and 5'11, which means that I'm in between fat and slim. At times, I've been persecuted for my weight, at other times, praised.
I am white. I am middle-upper class. I am heterosexual. I am cis. These things aren't going to change much. But I am vulnerable to other oppressions – gender, age, disability, and size – and my feminism fluctuates with them.

Hi, I'm kaninchenzero, coming from the blogaround at Shakesville. It's hard writing about our own disabilities, especially with the culturally-installed voices that keep telling us "well mine's not that bad, it doesn't really count." And there's always the risk (as I found out again today whee!) of inadvertently offending someone you like.ReplyDelete
So I wanted to thank you for writing these and for sharing them with us. And to let you know that yes, you do count. Even if the things that can make you disabled are pretty well controlled right now, you still live with the uncertainty of wondering when they won't be, and knowing what it's like when they're not.
Thank you, kaninchenzero. I really appreciate that.ReplyDelete
Wow, you could've written my history except people noticing I was weird and not having friends. I guess I was so restrictive on my OCD, or maybe my parents just thought I was "my own person," but I didn't receive any help until I was 21 and in college. I went to a therapist because I couldn't do homework (thought I was going to go to hell for reading "bad scenes" in my lit books), and I finally took some drugs and got better. My OCD focused on scrupulosity: I picked a religion (Catholic) and stuck to the rules like glue, constantly afraid I was going to Hell for minor infractions.ReplyDelete
I'm constantly reminding my friends that my OCD is a part of whom I am and that I'm still working with it every day to form life because when you're functioning properly, people don't seem to keep it in mind that you might be mentally battling something at that moment.

The precious metal platinum is not only beautiful but possesses exceptional strength allowing extremely narrow and fine detailing. Here we see that characteristic at work in a fine example of an Edwardian era brooch. A delicate lace-like structure has the ability to support a grand and glorious emerald cut natural peridot of an estimated 12 carats. The large gem is centered within a labyrinth of sensuous scrolls, curlicues and curves accented with mille graining.
Drilled and wired around the perimeter are forty-two (42) natural saltwater pearls (untested but guaranteed to be natural) creating a frame for a spider web of platinum interspersed with seventy-two (72) rose cut diamonds of a total estimated weight of .30 carats. The brooch is accompanied by its (original) grey and gold tooled leather box with fitted cream interior which reads "London & Ryder, 17 New Bond Street, London W." in gold script.
Date: Circa 1910.


text: Yeah, I think he said something about that post game. @FP, Stuckey on D, gotta watch it every game. He doesn't commit to help, and he doesn't commit to his man. It's been going on for at least a few weeks. I don't know if it's a coaching issue, or a game plan issue or a Stuckey issue, but it is happening every game. It is entirely correctable. Most of Stuckey's issues are correctable, which is a positive.

Officer Killed in Oregon City shooting
Shortly after 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2013 a fire was reported at 841 Linn Avenue in Oregon City, Oregon. During the initial dispatch, a report was broadcast of an armed male at the fire scene.
Oregon City Police and Clackamas Fire District #1 crews were dispatched -- with the police sent to deal with the reported armed individual.
The first responding unit was a two-man unit with one regular and one reserve Oregon City Police officer. Reserve Officer Libke was reportedly confronted by the suspect -- at which time the suspect shot Officer Libke.
A massive police response to an emergency call for help followed the shooting. Responding police units established a containment perimeter. Fire personnel were evacuated. Residents immediately surrounding the fire were also evacuated. Upon arrival of the Clackamas County Sheriff SWAT team, Reserve Officer Libke was evacuated and taken by LifeFlight to Legacy Emmanuel Hospital for treatment.
As Reserve Officer Libke was being rescued, SWAT team members reportedly encountered the armed suspect and subsequently shot him. The suspect died at the scene.
Results of the autopsy have not yet been received. A definitive cause and manner of death will be released when available. The deceased suspect has been identified as Lawrence Cambra, age 88, of Oregon City.
The officer shot in this incident is Officer Robert Libke. Officer Libke is a 41-year-old Reserve Police Officer for the Oregon City Police Department. He has faithfully served the department since his hire date in 2009.
The Oregon City Police Department Reserve Unit was established to supplement and assist patrol officers in their duties. This unit provides professional, sworn volunteer reserve officers who can augment regular staffing levels. The reserve unit has traditionally consisted of about 10 reserve police officers who volunteer their time. All reserves attend and complete an Interagency Police Academy in Clackamas County.
This is the first Oregon City Police Officer shot in the line of duty since the early 1900s. In April 1906, Officer George Hanlon was shot and fatally wounded while trying to arrest a burglary suspect named Frank Smith.
The two deputies involved in the shooting of the suspect are Detective Sergeant Matt Swanson and Deputy Jesse Unck, both SWAT members. Sergeant Swanson has been with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office for 13 1/2 years and Deputy Unck 4 years. Both are on paid administrative leave which is standard protocol for this type of incident.
The Clackamas County's Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) and Hostage Negotiations Team (HNT) are specially trained to deal with crisis situations and responded to this incident.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's SWAT is an interagency team. Team members include officers from the Oregon City, Milwaukie, Canby, and Milwaukie Police.
There is a massive investigative effort underway. The investigation has three major components: 1. Investigation of the fire 2. Investigation of the shooting of the Oregon City Police officer 3. Investigation of the use of force by members of the Clackamas County SWAT team.
The fire investigation is underway. The investigation is being conducted by the Oregon State Police, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Fire Marshal of the Clackamas Fire District #1. Initial statements from witnesses cause investigators to believe that this fire was set intentionally. Arson investigations are time-consuming and hazardous -- frequently requiring investigators to wear specialized protective gear and requiring a combination of investigative techniques. It is likely that the completion of the fire investigation will take 24 to 48 hours.
The other two investigations are being conducted by the Clackamas County Major Crimes Team, which is led by the District Attorney of Clackamas County. Investigators assigned to these two efforts are from the Oregon State Police, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, Portland Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Oregon City Police, Happy Valley Police, Gladstone Police, Canby Police, Molalla Police, Sandy Police, West Linn Police, Milwaukie Police, and Clackamas County Interagency Task Force (CCITF).
Investigators are looking into all aspects of the events that led to the two shootings. Their effort is designed to produce a comprehensive, impartial and thorough investigation that will allow the district attorney and police agencies to carefully review these incidents.
Anyone wishing to assist volunteer Officer Libke and his family can donate at any branch of the Clackamas Federal Credit Union to the "Officer Libke Fund."
**Update @ 2pm from the Oregon City Police Dept:
We regret to inform you that Officer Libke has died as a result of his injuries.
Oregon City Police Chief James Band would like to address the media at 4pm at City Hall, 625 Center St. Oregon City, with updates on Officer Libke.
Traffic Advisory: Officer Libke will be escorted from Emmanuel Hospital to Lincoln Memorial Park Funeral Home at 4pm. Expect traffic delays during this escort.

Squash Fajitas with Goat Cheese RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
When we visit New Mexico, we always try new and exciting cuisine. The last time we were there, I tried a couple of traditional foods with new twists, like pumpkin tamales and goat cheese enchiladas. With an abundance of squash and onions coming out of the garden, I wanted to create a new and healthy fajita. This is a great meatless dish. —Debra Keil, Owasso, Oklahoma
- 2 pounds yellow summer squash, sliced
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 flour tortillas (8 inches)
- 1 log (4 ounces) fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- In a large skillet, saute squash and onion in oil until tender. Add garlic, pepper and salt; cook 1 minute longer.
- Spoon onto tortillas. Top with cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Fold in sides. Yield: 4 servings.

Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt hasn't said quarterback John Skelton will not play this weekend. Despite his still-healing sprained ankle, Skelton has even been practicing the past couple of days. It's just very unlikely that he plays. Skelton is listed as questionable on the injury report. Kevin Kolb is expected to get his second consecutive start.
"I don't have any expectation of John than wanting to get back healthy and compete for the job," Whisenhunt said Friday. "Once we get to that point, we'll make a decision."
Fantasy Analysis:
In other words, Skelton hasn't gotten to the point where he is healthy and can compete for the job. Kolb was generally safe against the Patriots and kept the mistakes to a minimum. He's not worth starting in fantasy, obviously; he just needs to get Larry Fitzgerald involved more often. Fitzgerald will see a lot of Nnamdi Asomugha on Sunday, but please keep him in your lineup. I know people out there are wondering whether they should sit him in favor of Donnie Avery or Danny Amendola. Don't get cute, gamers. It's still Larry Fitzgerald.

"Ruckus, kill the live one!"
He should be able to reach just about anywhere in the room and still attack. I spent the extra Trick to teach Ruckus to attack undead as well as living things, so I'd think he'd be able to distinguish between them. If not, he'd probably go after the zombie then. Assuming he gets through, if the zombie's flatfooted, great, if not, he'll just provoke, moving through.
Bite/Trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Ruckus gives a low growl and pads his way forward. As soon as he crosses into the room, the readied seersucker suit wearing zombie slams Ruckus.
Slam vs Ruckus's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Ruckus is knocked into the nearby wall. He whines but continues on into the room. Once the wolf reaches the bookshelf he lets out a small howl and bites into the man within his library.
"What. ARG! I'll stew you for supper, hut!"
Durnolf & Aldous have gone. The rest of the party may go.
|Gunder Undertable
|Garuneh Lasandarman
|Tina Azura Valerius
"You dare invade the sactum of Svilenius Tripe! I will make you all apart of my army. Atropos, to me! Hut-hut HUT!"
Svilenius pops the top of one of his viles and drinks it (no AoO). He begins to laugh, each chuckle getting louder and deeper.
The creature within the last vat bursts out its glass cell . The glowing green sludge contained within pours out of the floor with a smell of rot and rank. Atropos's flesh is pierced with a number of tubes and wires. These snap spraying fluid as the zombie charges towards Ruckus. "ROAW!"
Slam vs Ruckus's AC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 241d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Mr. Marrow swings at Garuneh again with a lumbering moan as it tries to close in on the druid.
Slam vs Garuneh's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 121d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
The Heroes may go.
|Garuneh Lasandarman
|Aldous Mor'esti
|Durnolf Banderswel
Ruckus doesn't get an AoO (see above post) because Tripe performed a supernatural ability.
I was just going by what Sean K Reynolds said here, but whatever you say, boss.
Durnolf hoofs up to AH39 and yells "Ruckus, heel!", then takes a swing at Marrow.
earthbreaker: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Ruckus 5-foots to AH38 then bites at Atropos.
gnashing of teeth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Elizabeth slinks through the hallway, queing up to get into the frey.
Aldous's elven eyes narrow as he can focus in all objects near and far.
Durnolf tromps into the room. Mr. Marrow gives his standard greeting to new vistors.
AoO Slam vs Durnolf AC +4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Durnolf's helm rattles around after the attack. The gallant halfling takes it in stride and reciprocates in kind with a heavy strike to Mr. Marrow's knees. Bones crack and pus pockets explode but the zombie dandy still stands, barely.
Ruckus heels to his master then attempts to bite at Atropos. His wounds provent him from making a leathal attack on the undead.
Tina and Gunder are still up.
The overall result is that Ruckus would have missed his AoO. I will be playing that Extracts & Bomb use will provoke AoO's.
On a side note, I would so kill for a lightning bolt right now.
|Gunder Undertable
|Garuneh Lasandarman
|Gunder Undertable
|Gunder Undertable
Since its been over 48 hours since the heroes were allowed to go, I'm going to act for Tina.
Elizabeth slides over to allow her halfling friend further up into the combat room.
Tina moves into he room (AH40) to face Mr. Marrow. With his slack-jaw open, the monk delivers a ridge hand to the clavicle of the zombie.
Unarmed Attack vs Mr. Marrow's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
While the strike was true, Tina's hand slides right off the ichor stained suit, leaving Mr. Marrow unaffected.
Bad guys go
Since shuffling his feet would be too much effort, Mr. Marrow performs his customary greeting to Tina. Some cultures believe a kiss on the cheek is adequate, Mr. Marrow just wants to eat Tina's face.
Slam vs Tina's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Atropos continues his assault on Ruckus in a mindless rage of scratching and clawing.
Slam vs Ruckus's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Crit confirm vs Ruckus's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Ruckus falls limp after Atropos grabs on to the wolf and squeezes the breath out of him. After the undead is done, it shuffles forward five feet (AI38)
Ruckus is dying.
"Hut, Hut. A new mantle for my bride. Best preserve it.
Svilenius comes out from around the corner. He appears bigger in stature, his leather fit him more snug. While he still has a hump coming from his back, his gait is more fliud as he makes his way toward the northern hallway (AH34).
"You be a good boy, and sit! HUT!" With deft hands he pulls out vial and drops in a glowing blue rock. Cool mist comes out of the top of the vial and trails it as Svilenius throws it at Durnolf.
Frost Bomb vs Durnolf's Touch AC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Direction of Miss bomb: 1d8 ⇒ 5
The bomb goes over the knight's and the monk's head, landing just behind the monk.
Reflex save for Tina: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Reflex save for Mr. Marrow + cover: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Both save, Tina & Mr. Marrow take 2 points of cold damage.
Mr. Marrow colapses after taking the splash damage.
Heroes Turn
Since Mr. Marrow is no more, Garuneh can perform a new set of actions since he acted before the group was allowed to go. I'm going to reset his position.
|Gunder Undertable
"Now I can see you!"
Gunder says in a delightful, yet menacing tone.
He casts Doom on Svilenius, then moves two steps forward.
Haven't forgotten about healing - but there's no way that Gunder can reach Durnolf (or Ruckus) and still cure him in this round. Also, attack is the best defense. So lets hope that Svilenius fails his save.
|Gunder Undertable
|Garuneh Lasandarman
Garuneh blasts Atropos backwards with a gout of water, back towards the vats, in order to clear the area.
"GUNDER! Help Ruckus!"
Surge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Assuming that works, he moves behind the vats to AK-38.
|Tina Azura Valerius
Gunder gives Svilenius the evil eye! .
Svilenius Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Svilenius grabs his face and tries to claw something off that isn't there. He is shakened.
Elizabeth grabs Gunder by the collar and drags him further up into the room.
The ground rumbles as a wave of stone rises up. It pushes Atropos back 5 feet to give Ruckus breathing room. With a nod of satisfaction, Garuneh tucks himself behind the vats.
Tina steps up to the glowing zombie and gives it her best strike, but misses. I'm going to move Tina to AJ38 to be in range of Atropos after the Surge push.
Aldous & Durnolf are still up.
|Durnolf Banderswel
|Aldous Mor'esti
Aldous moves just behind Gunder, and looses an arrow at the alchemists.
Using Gunder's guidance & true strike: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39 damage 1d8 ⇒ 7
"Take him down quickly! And don't cluster together!"
Durnolf emotions get the better of him as he is barely able to swing in the direction of the zombie.
The arrow leaps from Aldous's bow with a magical light streaming behind it. Sailing over Gunder's & Durnolf's heads, is hits the center of Svilenius's chest.
Ruckus's bleed: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1 Ruckus looses another hp.
Atropos let's out a moan that could be confused as a sick chuckle. It assaults the enraged knight.
Slam vs Durnolf's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
"Hut, hut. It might be nice to have skeletal knight on his undead dog."
Svilenius pulls out a tar-topped jar and quickly snaps his nail across its top. A spark, and then a flame appears. With a sick smile crawling across his face, Svilenius lobs the bomb at Durnolf.
Bomb vs Durnolf's Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Reflex for Atropos: 1d20 ⇒ 9 Fails, takes 4 fire pod
Reflex for Ruckus: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17 Saves, takes 2 fire pod, but not bleeding any more.
The bomb lands on its mark, nearly knocking Durnolf off his feet. The fire-blasted knight remains standing, ready to defend his fallen companion.
Heroes May Go

Carl Jenkinson is putting any decision about his international future on hold as he concentrates on maintaining his impressive start to the season.
The Arsenal right back has been tipped for a call-up to the England squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Poland.
Jenkinson has represented Finland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level - but says now is not the time to choose between the two countries.
"I'm just concentrating on my club football, that's my bread and butter," he said. "I'm just focused on the here and now and the next game against Olympiacos.
"[Finland] have contacted me. I told them, 'I'm focusing on my club football' so that's all there is to it. You can read into that how you want.
"I'm going to have to make a decision at some point. As I've said many times, I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Until then I'm just concentrating on each game as it comes."
Jenkinson has caught the eye with a series of mature displays so far this season, and he admits playing regularly has been hugely beneficial for his development.
"I am really enjoying my football and I think that's a big part of things," he said. "I think confidence is a big part. I'm feeling good at the moment and hopefully I'll just keep building on my game and my confidence will grow with it.
"I feel comfortable at this level now. I think I have acclimatised you could say. I just want to push on and hopefully keep going as I'm going."
"It has been a whirlwind year. I've realised that in football there are always ups and downs and it's about trying to keep a level head.
"You're always going to have downs in football, but at the same time, you're always going to have ups as well and I've just tried to not take the downs too personally."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Green Bay Divers Compete at NCAA Zone D Diving Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Members of the Green Bay men's and women's diving teams wrapped up their participation at the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships on Wednesday at the University Aquatic Center on the University of Minnesota campus. The event featured 89 of the region's top divers from the states of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin.
Representing the Phoenix on the women's side were senior Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.) and freshman Crystal Franzwa (Winona, Minn.), while sophomores Tanner Nordlund (Rice, Minn.) and Sean Leverton (Blaine, Minn.) qualified on the men's side. Dinelli, Franzwa and Nordlund all competed in the 1-meter and 3-meter events for Green Bay over the three-day meet, while Leverton qualified but did not dive.
All four Phoenix divers were first-time Zone qualifiers by virtue of their scores throughout the season. It also marked the first time in school history that Green Bay had four NCAA Division I Zone qualifiers in the same season.
Franzwa – the first Green Bay female to qualify and compete as a freshman – had a solid showing in her Zone debut. The newcomer placed 37th out of 48 divers on the 1-meter board with a score of 227.55, which represented the best Zone score in school history by a Phoenix female on the low board. Franzwa was also 45th in the 3-meter event (208.95).
Nordlund finished in 35th in the men's 1-meter prelims, totaling a score of 244.25. The sophomore was 38th on the 3-meter board, finishing with a score of 226.95.
Dinelli capped off her standout Phoenix career by placing 42nd on the 3-meter and 43rd on the 1-meter, respectively. The senior accumulated scores of 208.95 on the high board and 208.20 on the low board.
"I was very happy for Carrie to finally get to compete at the Zone meet in her final season at Green Bay," Phoenix diving coach Tom Stover said. "In addition, our younger divers – Crystal and Tanner – can use this highly-competitive experience to build on for the future. They will continue to grow and get better because of this experience. Next season looks very promising for our diving teams."

It's the LGBT energy in the air. A feeling of pride, inclusiveness, community and yes, that famous humidity-heat thing. Now that we're reluctantly being pulled into fall, check out the video for a gander back on some summer highlights in Montreal!

Homemade Sweet Potato "Chips"
One of my favorite ways to get carbs in my diet is homemade sweet potato rounds, or "chips". As I've said before, I need a good amount of carbs in my diet or I feel terrible. I do some sort of exercise 4 to 7 days a week, whether it's walking, climbing, running, sprinting, riding a horse, or doing high intensity interval training. I know it's possible to do that while on a high fat, very low carb diet, but … Continue reading

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Oh, I remember that problem! You just made me so grateful that phase ended. She would eat cat, horse,dog,coyote,elk,moose,and any poop she was given the opportunity to eat. Let's just say I have some disgusting stories. I finally had to take her out to poop on a leash so I could pull her away from her own poop. And she got plenty of activity, an unbelievable amount of exercise.
She also had a sock fetish, particularly little kid socks. I didn't realize this until I started seeing them come out. I was blessed she didn't get an obstruction. I was yelled at (literally) when she was at the vet and I had to give a stool sample and there was a baby sock in it. She was at the vet for something totally different. I did have to get a handle on the sock situation at home, or anything else on the floor, but she always seemed to find something. I felt like the worst owner.
All of a sudden she stopped at around 6 months. I think giving her a kong ball to carry around or even a stick helped a little bit. But I think basically she just grew out of it and moved on to bigger and better. Now I don't have to keep up on the laundry, poop pick up, and picking up around the house like I use to.
Just wanted to say "Your dog has a GREAT name!"
I'm a little but put off by you saying you don't recommend GSDs for beginners. This is my 6th GSD spanning some 30 years (Lady, Moët, Bailey, Kelly and currently Annie and Summer). They go everywhere with me and do everything with me. I love active Velcro dogs.
Ok I don't leave her locked up by herself. I've been on vacation for the last 4 weeks. I've taken Summer everywhere and she has been my constant companion since I've had her. I've taken her bush walking, down to the horse paddocks to run, to the beach - both swimming and just on the sand, down to the local cafe where dogs are allowed, to friends, to a friends BBQ, she has met all my neighbours, I take her for drives etc etc. both dogs come with me everywhere. However she has started doing these things almost compulsively. From the moment the poo hits the ground she turns to eat it. I have been taking her to the toilet on a lead to train her to go outside. I stopped using the lead because she knows how to do it now. She however, will find anything that has been missed. I make it a habit to sweep the yard for poo but if I miss anything, her nose will find it. Including native animal poo from animals that run the yard at night, bird poo, duck poo etc. I can't let her outside to play with me because she will compulsively look for poo and is not interested in games. I've removed it, but you can remove the smell and she will go hunting obsessively. When she can't find it, dirt, pebbles, sand etc.
When I've left to go out, I haven't been leaving all day. I am talking a 10 minute trip to the post office, grocery shopping etc. I can't leave her in the car when the outside temp is 35C here so she has to stay home.
If I put her in a crate she will still eat her own poo and consume her toys.
I can't watch her 24/7. I have to sleep at some point. She is with me all the time but still obsessively does these behaviours.
Annie is only 11 months old. I know what she was like and she was not obsessed in the same way. If I removed her poo she wouldn't spend the next 30 mins searching for it despite me trying to play/distract
I am a neat freak. People cannot believe I have pets when they come into my house. I don't leave poo. I hate the smell. My cat has even gotten into the habit is meowing when he poos to signal me to clean it immediately. He is OCD like me! It doesn't stop Summer obsessively smelling for things. Despite the 40000L of pineoclean and constant mopping/vacuuming of my house, she still hunts.

It's amazing how the more I organize and plan my dogs days, and put it on the calendar..... the better my dogs behave around the house. Cause when they are home they rest and relax. And they focus their brains and energy to do 'good' when out and about with me, rather than get into trouble around the house cause they are bored bored bored.
She has been here nearly six weeks now, and I can let her run loose in our 1/2 acre back yard, and she poops and tears off to have fun with our other rescue GSD, without so much as a backward glance. With all the snow and the "polar vortex" (then its re-run) I haven't had much opportunity for even laying the groundwork for formal obedience, but I have tried to find them activities in the house to keep them occupied, and every day the temperatures ease a bit, they get to run their hearts out and have fun. Just the exercise alone had made a world of difference in her.
I hope the crate works for you. One time Jade even pooped in her crate and ate it! That was before I knew her signals, though, and it was more my fault.
And when you have her outside, keep her on a leash until she poops, then immediately take her away from it, crate her, and clean it up before you take her back out (clean up after other dog(s), too). As far as the cat litter box goes, can you get one of those covered ones, or the one that automatically rakes it away? How about putting into an area with a barrier that will allow only your cat in, but not big enough for your dog?
All this will take diligence and persistence on your part. For my household it was important because I am a caregiver for my sister, whose immune system is somewhat compromised. I didn't want our very affectionate Jade licking her after she had eaten you-know-what!
YOur vet is right For the poo (which for many of our dogs is the most yummy treat EVER... (I don't agree there is an enzyme problem)) you just need to manage the situation to keep it away from your dogs.
One of the many reasons most of us crate train is because it just naturally teaches our dogs to NOT get into the habit of eating/destroying household items because when you are in a crate those items are NOT available. So grazing on the house never becomes either a habit or an issue.
What you may want to work on is training for a great 'leave it'. Best and easiest is if you do it with a clicker... http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...t-puppies.html
Generally, all the behaviors you are seeing are coming from a bored pup with too much energy, too many brains, and NOT ENOUGH TO DO!
I know for my dogs I have to sit down with the calendar and actually SCHEDULE!
Schedule dog classes (really, classes). It doesn't matter what classees, obedience, rally, clicker, agility, herding, tracking. ANYTHING to get the dog out of the house and both of us learning something new and fun.
Schedule socialization. With friends. With neighbors. With the new people I met in DOG CLASSES. At dog events in the area.
Schedule REAL exercise. Hiking. Swimming. Canoeing.
It's amazing how the more I organize and plan my dogs days, and put it on the calendar..... the better my dogs behave around the house. Cause when they are home they rest and relax. And they focus their brains and energy to do 'good' when out and about with me, rather than get into trouble around the house cause they are bored bored bored.
Your situation is normal!!! And why, frankly, I don't recommend GSD's to most people because for most of us with extremely busy and over schedules liives already, adding all those extra hours just for the dog isn't possible and it's the dog that gets the short end of our time and money plus weekly planning.
Not saying that's you.... just most people I know.
Eating non food items
Ok I'll get to the point... She eats poo. Her poo, my other dogs poo, my cats poo, random poo if we go for a walk... Etc. my other GSD did this occasionally as a pup, but nothing like this. Summer is 13 weeks and eats poo constantly. Of course I remove it straight away from my yard and immediately from the cat box, but she is so fast! My cat is still using his box and she sits and waits!
She also eats other items. I forgot to latch my sliding door and when I got home from work I discovered she had gotten hold of two toilet rolls from the holder and shredded them. Annoying, but no huge deal. What I didn't realise until the next day was that she shredded 2, but she actually ATE half a roll of paper AND the cardboard tube! I of course discovered this when she vomited her dinner, breakfast, a poop she had eaten AND all the toilet paper/tube. I'll spare the description, but I came close to vomiting myself. I'm really worried, I know she could have ended up with a bowl obstruction!
She also eats plants, dirt and pebbles. She grabbed some aluminium foil I dropped on the floor and I had to basically crash tackle her and prize it out of her mouth before she swallowed it. She even pulled dryer lint out of the bin and ate that! Currently I've removed all toys from her after she ate half of a my other dogs soft squeak toy. She ripped up her bed and ate some of that. When I have to leave the house, she and my other dog are now in a bare tiled room with no toys, beds, bedding and just a water fountain because she eats literally everything else. Now I'm just waiting until she starts eating the walls!
What do I do? I took her to the vet and they were not really any help other than saying she might have an enzyme deficiency or she might just grow out of it and not to leave things lying around that she can eat (yeah no sh.....!)
P.S. That's the offending pup in my avatar!
