|can anyone upload a picture of the FORD part (insulation shield) on their car for comparison? I plan on opening mine up, and if i'm missing one asking for it to be ordered and installed, considering i'm desperate and my local dealership has written me off.
|I believe it is, but I could be dreaming. Since the weather is different every day, it will take a while until I know for sure. I think it was worth $18 and an hour of work. Also, I think the factory insulator will fit on top of it if someone finds that it works better.
Would you say the air in your cabin is cooler now?

My previous post has my impression of how this stuff works.
Thermo Tec install on cowl:
1. I bought a 12 x 24 sheet of Thermo Tec Adhesive Backed Aluminized Heat Barrier, p/n 13575 from Amazon for $18. You can also get it at Autozone and ebay. It has very good reviews on Amazon except for a few people who say the adhesive doesn't work very well. 12 x 24 is enough for everything I could reach on the cowl, with 8 x 5 left over.
2. I removed the rubber gasket at the front of the cowl to get better access. It just pulls off. I also removed the battery cover, although I put back the front half of the cover to avoid any sparks with the aluminized heat barrier.
3. I wiped off the bottom of the cowl and then washed it off with rubbing alcohol in an effort to get the best possible adhesion.
4. The bottom of the cowl is an irregular surface with the ends of 4 plastic fasteners and a few tabs sticking out. I cut pieces of Thermo Tec to fit. The Thermo Tec is a silica mesh with aluminzed stuff on top. It is pretty thin. The cowl generally from 5"-6" deep. The largest piece I cut was about 10" x 6." I cut a lot of small pieces near the ends.
5. The Thermo Tec is pretty sticky. I started from the back edge of the cowl, where it meets the strut tower brace. I cut slits in the Thermo Tec to get it to fit better to compound curves. It stretches a little.
6. I then used a roller like you use on wallpaper seams to press the edges and to get rid of a air bubbles.
7. I reinstalled the rubber gasket. It needs to be pressed firmly to get its "barbs" securely in the cowl. Then I reinstalled the battery cover.
8. If you use Thermo Tec on the bottom of the strut tower brace, note that there are a couple of holes in it.
Total time about 1 hour. The key is whether the adhesive on the Thermo Tec will hold tight. It seems fine after about an hour of driving. It is supposed to be good to 300 F.
I took the car out this morning. It was about 63 degrees F outside. I drove about 30 miles on country roads. The air out of the vents was comfortable the whole way. I then stopped the car for about 10 minutes. When I checked the inside of the cowl, the plastic was cool to the touch. When I started driving again it was about 70 outside. The air out of the vents was quite warm, but cooled off to comfortable (but not nearly as cool as outside) within about 10 minutes of driving. When I got home I checked the inside of the cowl again and it was slightly warm to the touch. I checked again after 15 minutes and the inside of the cowl was very warm, but not as hot as I remember without the Thermo Tec.
When the car is run from cold, it seems like the outside air can keep the cowl cool. When the car sits after running, there is heat soak. Driving for a few miles seems to cool things off. I think that running the a/c for 10 minutes or so after a hot start may help. I don't know if this is any better or worse than the factory heat shield.
The top of the strut tower brace is part of the cowl ductwork. Most of it is hollow with about 3/4" of air space, so I think it should be a pretty good insulator. I may use the rest of my Thermo Tec on the bottom of the strut tower brace.
My AC has been performing better since I got my car, so I'm gonna hold off on talking to my dealer.
focusstu Interested to see how the heat shield helps.
thanks for the update. best of luck, I know how much this sucks... If the heat shield works, please post some pics and results. Fingers crossed!
I checked a Titanium cowl again. The insulator is under just the plastic cowl extension. It looks like it attaches to the fasteners that are already on the cowl. I have decided to try Thermo Tec adhesive heat shield instead. It looks like it will work just as well and cost just $18 from Amazon. I will provide my results when I get it installed.
I want to look into this for you to see how I can best assist. To get started, send me a PM with your full name, phone number, VIN, mileage, and preferred servicing dealership.
took my car in today. I hope they fix it this time... they told me they would do a dye test, I told them to look at the control head/ bc of the constant hot air being let into the cabin. It didn't seem they took notes, guessing it's annoying when customers think they know something!
fingers crossed guys! I was hoping to get in the shop last week, as it was still hot out, compared to today's high of 74ºF - Last time they checked my a/c at 7:15AM in the spring, and they wrote "blows cold air" and sent me home... of course it blew cold air, it was in the 50ºs...
I'll keep everyone posted with my results. For your comparison, I have a 2012 w/manual hvac controls.

Recycle Bin Storage
Are you aware that your Recycle Bin could be eating up a large portion of your hard drive space? Well, believe it or not, but by default, the Recycle Bin is set to have a total storage capacity of 10 percent of each of your local drives.
For example, if you have a hard drive that has been formatted into two logical drives (the term "logical" is used, because there is only one drive that has been formatted into portions), your Recycle Bin will consume 10 percent of each logical drive. The following real life example will help clarify this.
The Recycle Bin on my computer had a storage capacity of 10 percent of each logical drive. As the picture below shows, I have two logical drives.
Now, my C: drive has a storage capacity of 4.86 GB and my D: drive has a capacity of 9.09GB. My Recycle Bin, therefore, has a capacity of 1.46 GB, which is reserved for deleted files (10 percent of 4.86 + 10 percent of 9.09 = 1.46GB). What a waste! Take a look.
Space Reserved on C: Drive
Space Reserved on D: Drive
If you are not used to emptying your Recycle Bin after deleting files, this translates into lost storage space for you. It's best to set your Recycle Bin storage percentage to a lower number. To change the amount of space your Recycle Bin reserves for you, just right click on your Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and choose Properties. You should then see the following:
Right click again and hold your left mouse button over the scroll bar and drag it to the left. You will see the percentage change to a lower number. It's a good idea to set your Recycle Bin storage space percentage to approximately two percent. However, it depends on you, as to how much space you want your Recycle Bin to reserve.
Once you have set your Recycle Bin's default percentage of 10 percent to a lower number, click on the tabs next to the Global tag to see how many megabytes of space your Recycle Bin is reserving on each hard drive.
So, now you might be wondering what happens when your reserved space runs out. Well, once the space reserved for deleted files is exhausted, additional files you delete will not be stored in the Recycle Bin, but they will be permanently deleted from your hard drive. To see an example of this, follow the steps below.
Move the scroll bar all the way to the left until the percentage number becomes zero. Then click the Apply button at the bottom.
Next, right click on your desktop and select the New option. Another box will pop up. Select Text Document. Now, click the right mouse button anywhere on your desktop. You have just created a new file. Then delete the file.
As you can see, the deleted file was not stored in the Recycle Bin, but it was permanently deleted from your hard drive.
Similarly, once the reserved storage space you set your Recycle Bin to is exhausted, additional files you delete will be permanently deleted from your computer. Keep this in mind when choosing the amount of space you want your Recycle Bin to reserve for storage of deleted files.
Different Storage Options
If you like, you can also set your Recycle Bin to reserve a certain amount of storage space on one drive and a different amount of storage on another hard drive. To do so, simply click on the Globals tab and then select the "Configure drives independently" option.
The portion of the screen below will become grayed out. Now, click on the Local Drive tabs next to the Globals tag above. As you can see, you can now drag the cursor to a certain percentage number independently for each of your drives. How great is that?!
Happy recycling!

How the West Was Won [DVD]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Theatrical release: February 21, 1963. Filmed at the MGM Studios and on location in Custer State Park, Black Hills, and Rapid City, South Dakota; in Uncompaghre National Forest, Rocky Mountains, Montrose, Durango, and Silverton, Colorado; on the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers and in Paducah, Kentucky; in Oatman, Perkinsville, Superior, and Canyon de Chelly, Arizona; in Monument Valley, Utah; in Eugene and Grand Pass, Oregon; in San Francisco, Lone Pine, Bishop, Simi, and Scotia, California; and in Tonto National Forest and Inyo National Forest. The picture was named on the National Board of Review's list of the 10 Best Films of the Year. James R. Webb's script was suggested by a LIFE magazine series. Action sequences from "The Civil War" section of the film were borrowed from the 1957 Edward Dmytryk movie RAINTREE COUNTY. Shots of marching Mexican troops were from the 1960 John Wayne project, THE ALAMO. The film's opening credits bear this dedication: "To the officials of the state of South Dakota, the United States Forest Service and Bureau Reclamation we express deep appreciation." When the film was released in 1963, there was no MPAA rating system in place. It was rated G by the MPAA for its 1970 reissue. From February 1978 to April 1979, ABC aired a MGM television series based on the film. Also entitled HOW THE WEST WAS WON, this extravagantly produced series was filmed on location in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and Southern California, and starred TV Western icon James Arness, along with Fionnula Flanagan, Bruce Boxleitner, Kathryn Holcomb, William Kirby Cullen, and Vicki Schreck. Bob Morgan, a stuntman in "The Outlaws" sequence, lost a leg during production. Appearing in the film as "Indian Chiefs" were Ben Black Elk, Jr., William Shake Spears, Chief Oglalla Hansaka, Chief Weasel, and Red Cloud. Appearing in the film as "Indians" were members of the Brulee Sioux, Oclalles Sioux, Minnecanjous Sioux, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne Nations. The film originally featured seven-track magnetic Cinerama sound, which utilized the standard five channels behind the screen as well as two additional surround channels on either side of the audience. The Westrex Recording System was used in the production of the soundtrack. The film's process shots and background scenes utilized Ultra Panavision 70 cameras and lenses, which were provided by Panavision, Inc. Matte shots and shots using backdrops and rear projections could not be filmed with Cinerama cameras, because they could film past and "around" flat backgrounds. Robert R. Hoag of the MGM Laboratories Optical Department supervised the transfer of this 70mm material to the three-panel Super Cinerama in order to match the rest of the footage. Original Cinerama aspect ratio: 2.59:1. Original prints of the film featured footage of "modern" San Francisco, in order to show how far the West had come since. Because 1963 San Francisco is no longer be considered modern, many prints have eliminated this sequence in order to avoid dating the film. MGM later destroyed all Super Cinerama prints, and only a 70mm Super Cinerama dupe remains. A 35mm anamorphic version of the film also exists. It features four-track stereo, but lacks an overture, the intermission, and exit music. The title card for the intermission was left in, just in case a theater might want to break anyway. Three separate 16mm versions of the film exist: an anamorphic version with a 2.74:1 aspect ratio; a Metroscope version that measures 1.75:1; and a 1.37:1 Metroscan version. The picture was one of the first story films to be produced in three-strip Cinerama. Five projectionists were required to operate the three 35mm projectors which, when placed side by side, to produced a seamless image on a huge curved screen. Original running time: 162 minutes, plus an intermission and an overture.

|I was very nervous about buying my wedding dress online from a place I wasn't able to talk in person to the people making the dress. I asked a lot of specific questions and received speedy answers that were thoughtful and concise. This was their first time making this particular dress and they did a fantastic job! I had tried on the original designer dress and honestly, I think it's better than the original and I saved thousands of dollars. This dress is extremely detailed and intricate but they did a great job paying attention to how the original looks. The fabric is beautiful and not cheap looking. The overall fit is a little big but it's better than being too small! I am so pleased with my "risky" decision and I would recommend this website to any of my friends who are looking to overpay for their wedding gown.

|The dress is well constructed and uses good quality fabrics. But some of the more beautiful detail is missing. - The leaf applique is not the same as shown in the photo, it's similar, but not the same. - The 'v' shape of the back where it zips up is is more rounded - the edges of the sleeves and collar don't have the organic finish, it's a straight line. - The color is not exact, the original is a 'natural' white, the closest here is ivory which is what I ordered. I have to alter it a bit, (sleeves can be tricky), but overall I think it's very close to the original and for the price point is a great dress!!

Here you have a link for the French Mag "Course au large" in the English version "Ocean Racing". This one is free. You have just to register.It has great photos.
|Ok, so how does a 10 year old get started in racing lasers. Break it down for me. $500 is a ton of money if you don't have it.
|Parents don't have to buy their kids a boat to get them into sailing and if they did want to buy a boat it's not too hard to find dinks under $500. If you live in an area where sailing's at all popular there are always sailing camps and classes for kids that don't cost any more than any other camps and classes kids take. I learned to sail and race on old beat up lasers and 420's then moved on to old beat up sonars and J22's before graduating to big boat sailing/racing.
Sailing can't be compared to any other sport just b/c of the cost alone. Only other thing that I've found that costs about the same is racing cars. It's way too expensive for kids to aford and parents can't justify it when they compare it to other sports. Soccer = shoes, shin guards, uniform. Sailing = BOAT, foulies, PFD. And they get farther separated from there.
To keep costs down try using dacron sails and only let them buy new sails every 2-3 years. No spinnakers (although I'm against this, downwind jib and main is painfully slow and boring) this eliminates replacing a broken pole, one or more crew members, and at least one sail.
No one says the RC can't be picked for every single race before the season starts. Rotate racers out as RC. The volunteer system sucks donkey d!ck and you end up w/ the same 4 boats doing it every year. Nothing says you even need a boat, put the RC in someone's dingy w/ a cooler and a stop watch. Make the marks out of old milk jugs w/ a line tied to a big fishing weight.
Have a 3 day event where no boat is allowed a diver and cannot come out of the water unless something is broken.
Smaller boats w/ less crew make it easier to get boats on the water. Also makes it easier to do away regattas. Big boats require big, strong crew, who eat a lot and drink a lot at the bar, they also want a hotel room instead of crashing on the boat.
Just a couple of random thoughts. BTW that video is amazing, it's too bad I can't understand a word of it.
|Most of us start out racing as crew and at that point our cash outlay is minimal to zero so I don't buy the argument that the "arms race" mentality is keeping people from getting interested in the sport (though I do agree it's a strong factor in keeping people from fielding new racing boats). At this point a lot of boats are short crew so the problem is not that we're attracting too few skippers but that we're attracting too few crew and that is causing a lot of existing skippers to abandon or scale back their racing campaigns.
"Maybe classes that limit the racing improvement on a boat "
They ALL pretty much do, in one way or another. USYRU had that debate for many years and dumbed down their name to USSA because they felt "yachting" was too elitist and discouraged people from the sport. Kinda like requiring torn jeans on casual Friday, if you ask me.
You know the reason that hulls are smooth, not textured? Because texturing the surface (like sharksin, or golf ball dimples, or the new Speedo olympic racing bathing suits) gives a significant speed increase--but it can cost gobs of money to figure out the best way to do it. So it was expressly banned.
One design racing? Again, caps what you can do to what the factory did, so the only real way you can spend money is buying new sails. For a while the J/35 class became known as the "sail of the month" club when some folks figured out the new sails worked best when new...
Bottom line is just that no matter where or how you place the limits, sailing is a sport and a hobby and that by definition doesn't happen unless you are RICH enough to have disposable income. Even if that just means $100 for a used Sunfish, that's disposable income and that makes you RICH in the eyes of the guy who doesn't have that much to begin with.
Where's the Connection??
Why is it assumed that have more and better sailing events on television will automatically translate into more people buying sailboats and going racing?
This is a thread that regularly pops up her and on SA (and probably on other sailing forums too); it's a great topic to discuss, but is it based on fact? I have no idea.
But let's go back to the golden age when the sport wasn't in decline (can some one tell me when that was?). In any case there was no TV coverage and racing was no more a spectator sport then than it is now. So what happened?
IMHO one part is in the advance of technology and the costs associated with keeping up and there's time and the lack of it. There are lots of other possible reasons but I'll stick to these.
When I started serious racing (Annapolis Wednesday night series) back in 1980 I had just boat a C&C 40 with that had been set up for racing. It was one of a large class of what were called racer-cruisers. At that time electronics were minimal by todays standards, the high-tech sail material and lines were not available and most of the specialized racing hardware had yet to be invented. What all that meant was that you could take almost a stock boat (usually it was called the tall rig or racing version) and take it out and race it and if you were good, place high or win without having to spend a fortune on sails and equipment.
Now I have to admit I wont race if I cant be competitive. What I mean is if I sail a good race I can place high or win. I wouldnt want to race a boat that had no chance of winning no matter how well it was sailed. So for racing, For racing wed strip the boat of cruising equipment , pump out a lot of the water from the tanks and off wed go. Every so often, a couple of us would put on our tanks and clean the bottom. And so after a couple of years of practice and racing with my crew, Satisfaction began placing at the top of the fleet. As technology developed, we added new hardware and elec tronics but no bank-breakers. Then things changed with the advent of Kevlar sails. To be competitive they were a must and they were expensive and the early ones werent particularly durable so they had to be replaced every couple of years. This involved thousands of dollars and when the kids started college, I just couldnt afford it. What I did was drop down to a less serious racing club and continued but as has been pointed out elsewhere, theres always someone who will turn friendly beer can racing into blood sport. But the problem remains -- to become and remain competitive is now a very expensive proposition and I havent even mentioned the expense of docking or mooring the boat and ordinary maintenance which can run thousands of dollars a year.. I believe that the high and continuing expenses have deterred many people from the sport.
Then theres the time factor and I dont mean just time spent racing and setting the boat up for racing. One reason that Satisfaction did so well is that we practiced evenings after work. It took a year before were started really functioning as a team. To do this we spent 6-10 hours a week beyond racing in practice you should have seen our first attempt to deploy the LifeSling, it would have taken a prize on funniest home videos. But that was time away from everything else, family, kids and in todays ultra-busy world a lot of people cant make that commitment, especially if they dont live close to their boats.
Then theres another aspect of the problem. To race you need to have some sort of race committee. The race committee has to spend time setting up the race, meeting with skippers, overseeing the race (committee boat) and arbitrating any protests. And while there are probably more thankless jobs, I cant think of them off-hand. I wonder how many races get called off and possibly programs abandoned because no one was willing to serve on a race committee.
Would more/better television coverage help any of this? I dont see how. What we need to do is first get kids into sailing, there are lots of programs out there but IMHO the best way is to take them out on our boats and teach them. Some will love it and some will not. For those who do there needs to be some outlet where they can sail and necessarily racing sailing dinks (which is what I did). Problem with learning by racing at that age is that winning becomes more important than sailing and the ones who consistently lose will just drop out probably forever.
IMHO that if we get kids to love sailing, some of them will become racers. After that we need to do something so people can afford to race. Maybe classes that limit the racing improvement on a boat but I dont know. And theres still the time problem to many other things to do and the need for racing committees. But better media coverage ? With whats going on may we should consider Court TV . Anyway all well get out of TV is nautically-oriented coach potatoes.
We brought our kids up on our boat and now they have sailboats and sometimes we all cruise together in our own little flotilla. But the excitement of racing never appealed to them.
As for me and my wife, well we have a plan -- two-to three more years and were out of here. We bought a boat for coastal cruising and island hopping. Shes also capable of blue-water cruising but my wife isnt up to crossing oceans, at least not yet. In any case we have the entire western hemisphere and the Caribbean to explore.
So since we bought Enchantress, Ive pretty much given up racing. Instead my wife and I spend our time making Enchantress over into our perfect cruising boat and learning everything we can about how to handle her. But yknow there are still times when I miss the excitement of the race.
|Well - if there was more of this out there in TV land, there would be much more interest in sailing. No doubt.

Hello everyone! My name is Bryan and I'm new around these parts. I just officially joined today although I have stopped in on several occasions over the last several years. I suppose I would just like to introduce myself and tell you all a little bit about me. I am 37 years old, married, and have a great dog (that I tried to name 'Boba' but my wife wasn't having it, so we ended up with 'Bronte'). I went back to school a while ago to pursue a career in education. This spring I will graduate with a degree in middle school mathematics and science education. My favorite hobby is astronomy. I have a 14" Schmidt Cassegrain telescope that I absolutely love and I get it outside as often as I can. I do a lot of public outreach and education about astronomy. Some of my other hobbies are photography, learning about quantum physics, building custom LED lightsabers, and cyclocross.
The other great obsession I have had since I was a small child has been Star Wars. Like many of you most likely, I have been infatuated with this fantastic space-western for longer than I can remember. I have always been a Luke Skywalker guy. So much so that I made a ROTJ Luke costume and got approved by The Rebel Legion a little while ago. Although I identify with Luke's character, I have ALWAYS been fascinated by Boba Fett. Out of all of my Star Wars memorabilia, Boba Fett outnumbers any other character. Like I said above, I have visited TDH several times and I am always blown away at the level of detail and workmanship of the costumes here. I finally decided that I HAD to build my own when I was at CVI last year in Orlando. Seeing all of the Mercs there was AWESOME! I'm sure several of you were there. I was really drawn to how close-knit all of the mercs seemed. It was like a family of outlaws and it really had a great impression on me. Anyhow, this is getting a little long so I'll wrap it up. I just want to say that I'm really happy to be here and I look forward to getting to know you all. I have a lot of reading to do. I want to eventually build my own ESB Boba Fett since that has always been my favorite version. Well, I'm gonna get started! Thanks for reading!

What you Need to Know About our Whole Coupon Insert Service
BIGGEST RULE TO REMEMBER: If you are ordering "in-stock" inserts and pre-orders for inserts that ship at a future date, we will hold the entire order and ship them when everything is in stock UNLESS you place separate orders. We do not mark up our shipping costs. They are a pass through expense. If you place two orders, we are able to collect the correct shipping. If you place one order, we would have to pay for 2 labels to make 2 shipments but would have only collected shipping for one label.
How does your service work?
Our service is very easy to understand. We buy newspapers on your behalf, remove the whole coupon inserts from them and send them to you via USPS Priority Shipping. It's really that basic. We send you the coupon inserts that we get from our newspapers. It is no different than giving your brother-in-law 20 bucks when they are headed to the store and asking him to pick up papers for you. The difference is, we are in an area with exceptionally good coupon inserts.
Why should I use your service when I can get my own papers?
Actually, it is 100% up to you whether or not our service makes sense. The average cost for a Sunday paper across the country is $3.00. If you are fortunate enough to live in an area where the paper is less per copy, then our service may not be for you. However, it's not all about the price per paper. What kind of coupon inserts do you get? What are the values of your coupons? How many coupons are in the inserts? Do your coupons state Do Not Double on them? There are many things to consider. For some, the price per paper is cheaper. For others, the value of the coupons makes our service more appealing. For others, the convenience of having us do the work of getting the papers and pulling out the coupons is worth the difference in cost from their local paper.
Why don't your prices fluctuate?
We truly charge for time and materials. The price will never really fluctuate due to more inserts being in the paper. If we changed our pricing each week, would we be selling a service or selling coupons? Single insert prices will always be a flat price as will sets. The only number that will change is the last digit. We change the last digit each week so that we can tell which week the inserts are from in our shipping software. For example, the first week of the month may end with a 1, the 2nd week a 2, so on and so forth.
Why is a 2 pack so expensive?
The one thing to remember when using our service is that the cost of shipping is a pass through expense. A 2 pack with Priority shipping is going to seem more expensive than a 10 pack with Priority Shipping. The reason is simple. Shipping is a pass through cost. The fees for our service are the same every week. They will always be approximately $1.80 per set. By ordering a larger pack, you are spreading the shipping cost across a larger number of papers. This makes the cost per paper lower.
Will I get all of the coupons I see in the weekly coupon preview?
We buy papers from a variety of sources and a variety of zip codes. The preview that we post is a national preview and is a "best guess" of what will be in the Sunday paper. Because there are variances to the lay-out and coupon values that are in our papers, we do not post a blanket coupon recap. We do not guarantee specific coupons will be in any of our inserts. You are simply reimbursing us for buying the paper, taking the inserts out of the paper and shipping them to you. If you want to be guaranteed a specific coupons, you should use our sister site Wiz Clipz, which is a coupon clipping service. Please do not use our service to procure whole coupon inserts if you are looking for a specific coupon. It is always possible that we will not that have coupon in our local papers in some of the zip codes or our area didn't get the coupon at all. It's not any different than going to the store, buying a paper and getting home and finding that a specific coupon is not in those inserts. You can't take the paper back to the store because one coupon you thought you should get wasn't in there. It is virtually impossible for us to go page by page for every insert and guarantee what will be in every package that we ship. That said, we very rarely have a week where we do not get all of the hottest coupons. The Smartsource Only, Red Plum Only, Early Ship and Super Early Ship listings contain the actual list of coupons in the listing. When you purchase these packs, you are purchasing inserts that contain that specific list. Please note that individual inserts and PRE-ordered "set" inserts mar or may not may not be the same.
I read on another site that there are supposed to be extra inserts in the paper. Will there be an extra charge for those?
The short answer is no. Because we are not guaranteed to get every single insert in our papers, we only advertise what we know for sure will run. If there are, in fact, extra inserts in our papers, we include everything in the paper up to the capacity of the envelope. For example, if we advertise there are only 2 inserts in the paper and you order ten of each, which is a total of 20 individual inserts. That leaves room for another 10 inserts in your envelope. We would fill your envelope with 10 of the extra inserts at no additional cost. We add the extra inserts at the same amount as your pack size as long as they will fit. Meaning, you you had only ordered a 6 pack, we will endeavor to give you a 6 pack of the "special" inserts.
I ordered on your website and paid on Monday, when will I receive my inserts?
Many people new to couponing and new to our site do not understand the way the insert service works. Some of the packages on Insert Insanity are a "prepaid pre-order". In other words, if you order a pre-order on Monday, you are ordering the inserts for the following weekend. Many people email throughout the week asking why they haven't received their inserts yet. The answer is quite simple: They haven't been printed yet! We can't ship what doesn't exist. We do pre-orders so that we can accurately project our needs to the paper. By doing prepaid pre-orders, we are able to guarantee certain numbers to our relationships at the papers which allows us to keep our costs down and subsequently our prices. If you order inserts from a prior week, the cut-off for shipping is noon. If you order before noon, they will ship the same day. If you order after noon, they will ship the next day.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Mark V, Jun 1, 2013.
Bargnani is definitely better than CV. How much is debatable, but he is better.
He's been a legitimate starter in the league and he's come close to being a player at times. On his worst day he's better than plank(ton) #31. This cat would be a major upgrade off the bench for a year. If he works out you re-set the $$ going forward. I have no idea if they could get him although now might be the time with the house cleaning up there. I wonder if we could convince the TO people that there's been a curse on the franchise ever since they traded Charlie so they'll take him back?
I think Toronto might bite on this trade if Charlie promises to get in shape during the offseason.
No idea what he's got left, but this team needs a consistent outside shooter like nobody's business.
The title of this thread is invalid due to the fact that we can't trade our 2014 pick until we pay off our draft pick debt to the Charlotte Bobcats Hornets (I think that someone had already established this earlier). From everything that I've heard (as a casual internet fan), Bargnani pretty much has "BoT" status in Toronto and they would basically give the dude away to any team that could absorb his salary. Fans HATE the guy! Much like our beloved Charlie Villanueva and Rodney Stuckey, they simply want him gone and off their books so they can move-on. I'm not a big fan of dudes with female first names (couldn't stand T-Mac as a Piston) but I might see if we could acquire Andrea for basically nothing while ridding ourselves of a mistake of our own: Charley + a 2nd rounder for Bargs. If I gotta throw in somebody like Jerebko or Singler, so be it. All they can do is say 'no'. ...Or, you can sub Stuckey for the Chuckster and they can simply buy him out for 4 mil. Andrea Bargnani is a former #1 pick and a 20 ppg scorer when healthy. I know we say this every time we look at damaged goods but maybe Arnie can get him right. He's got two long years left on his contract at around 10 mil per year (I think). Chuck-V (or Stuckey), + a pick and filler gives the Raps some cap flexability that they desperately need now that they've added Rudy to the mix. They have some tough decisions to make pretty soon and getting rid of Andrea would be a very popular move among Raptors fans. A roadblock to this deal would be the fact that yesterday, Toronto hired Masai Ujiri as their new GM to replace Bryan Colangelo. Unlike Coloangelo, Ujiri (formerly of the Denver Nuggs) is a VERY smart dude who usually gets the better end of the deal in transactions that he makes. I like the idea of a healthy Bargs with a fresh start coming off the bench. He compliments both G-Money and Drum well along with adding a 3-pt shooter to the Pistons' offense. Here's an article that might provide some context as to the level of "quality" that Raps might be expecting in return for the services of Barnani: New Raptors GM to prioritize trading Andrea Bargnani | NBA | Toronto Raptors
also, charlie had some good years there. maybe they have some misplaced nostalgia?
Get ready for a very long-winded tirade from KGREG refuting your post.
...No. I can totally see how someone would be against the idea of adding Andrea Barnani to the Pistons mix. The dude is injury prone and makes too much money based on his last 2 (injury plagued) seasons. I'm trying to be real about the fact that Joe isn't going to use the amnesty clause on Charlie. I absolutely do NOT want Charlie in a Pistons' uniform next year. The same goes for Stuckey (we can spend $4 mil and rid ourselves of Rodney. ...cool, DO IT). Paul Millsap isn't coming to the D to back-up Greg Monroe. If we can somehow turn the expiring contract of BoT into Andrea Barnani? ...why NOT? Positives: - Charlie is gone and we don't have to see him in Pistons gear anymore. - Detroit gets a shooter; ...we need shooters! - The deal decreases the possibility of Charlie being the 1st big man off the bench next season (this scares me man!) - Bargnani has a LOT to prove and he'll be hungry. He'd be playing for his next contract from day one. - We'd have a bonified 3rd big dude off the bench who compliments our other bigs about as good as you can. - substantial; upside while being a relatively low-risk move (the worst case scenario doesn't cripple you). Negatives: - It essentially adds an extra year to the cap slot that Charlie currently occupies and eliminates a little bit of flexability. - we might have to throw in a 2nd tier player and/or 2nd round pick.
I'd rather have Chaz than Bargs on the roster.
I'd rather have acne than leprosy.
To clarify for the slow Avalanche fans, this thread is about taking Toronto's first round pick in return for taking Bargs off their hands, kinda like the Ben Gordon trade for us.
To clear up any delusions put forth by certain remidial members of the Jimmer Fredette fan club, Masai Ujiri's first order of business as new GM isn't going to be giving away cheap talent in the form of draft picks. Here's two things that he won't be doing: 1. giving away a pick to take Bargnani. Toronto needs it's picks!; (not to mention, I don't even think that they CAN trade a 1st rounder away due to the fact that this years first rounder was traded to OKC (via Houston). I think it's against the rules for teams to trade away consecutive 1st round picks) 2. using the amnesty clause on Bargnani (They aren't gonna shell out $22 mil to get rid of him) They're gonna have to take something back. They only have 3 bigs signed next year and 1 of 'em is just a little bit foul prone so they're gonna need some depth at PF/C. A package featuring Charlie would allow them to cut their losses in half while picking up some additional cheap assets (2nd rounders, Singler?, English? TRG?) As a Pistons fan, I'm only down with this trade if it allows us to get rid of CV. I'd prefer to not have Stuckey involved in this deal because I'd like to simply hand him his $4 million dollar buyout and let him go play in China. I wouldn't want to take Bargnani for free unless Gores amnesty's Charlie (Gores is rich so who cares. I just want cap room so the team has a chance to be good.) I DON'T want the risk of re-habbing Bargnani while STILL being sddled with the contracts of Stuckey and/or Charlie. An NBA team can only afford to have one bad contract on it's books at a time. IMO, former #1 pick 7-footer who has 20ppg talent is worth the minimal risk.
You gotta love it that regardless of how the thread title is interpreted, this trade is impossible because of poor decisions made by both of the teams' GMs.
I'd rather dump Rodney and CV in exchange for their burden......... rather than take their 2014 1st round pick........ The immediate gratification of dumping those two would be reward enough. Instead of waiting a year......and having CV and Rodney play this coming season........
Yeah man. I don't think that Joe is as big of an idiot as Bryan Colangelo was but his moves over the last 3-4 years certainly don't help make his case. Since Gores took over, I think he's been better and I hope he continues to climb back to respectability. Having to "GM" against Masai Ujiri instead of Colangelo just made it a little tougher to snag a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. I expect Toronto to be a well-managed team moving forward and their record will likely show the result of this.
I can't believe that I actually spent a portion of my afternoon championing the idea of Bringing Andrea Bargnani to Detroit. Holy crap is this roster in need of some help!
Stuckey+CV for Bargnani is a lopsided trade that is doing Toronto a big favor, allowing them to dump Bargnani's contract for nothing. Toronto won't be able to trade away Bargnani without including picks or other quality players. CJ is right, they are in a very similar boat we were in with Ben Gordon. The problem is Toronto doesn't have any draft picks this year. So, Bargs+Ross for Stuckey+CV+JJ would be a workable trade IMO. CV+Stuck straight up for Bargs doesn't make sense. Both CV and Stuckey have trade value next year.
I consider the two players a cancer in the locker room. Their removal would refresh the roster.
This is the big part of this. We are not going to be signing Andre Iguodola, Millsap, Smith or any marquee FA's this year. Forget about it. The best we can do it is make some talent bank via smart trades. Danny Granger was mentioned - I think this is possible but unlikely. I also love the idea. I don't really care what we have to give away as long as it isn't one of the good pieces. I'd keep Middleton and Singler off the table along with the core players. Everyone else is fair game. But here is the thing - Bargnani doesn't even have to play at a high level, he just has to keep defenses honest. It's why having Charlie on the floor is almost worth his cringeworthy defense. Because you can't leave a shooter open especially with a quick release. But Charlie has killed his ties to Detroit with his stupid remarks about picking up the last year of his contract. The worst case scenario is that we end up with another Charlie who has a better inside game and a more length. Losing BoT and Stuckey to get this guy isn't just a good decision, it's a complete no brainer for me. We shave $5m in salary, $1m guaranteed. Cap Spayce doesn't play ball. And we lose two of the worst influences in the locker room. I'd rather give Maggette a 5yr contract than have Stuckey or BoT hang around.
Separate names with a comma.

Lacks somedepth of other MIssing Manuals

Comments about oreilly iPad: The Missing Manual, 5th Edition:
Perhaps because iPad MM (iOS6) is shorter than typical OSX Missing Manuals, I find it lacks some depth - as in pointing out the pitfalls and non-intuitive behaviors of iOS and Apple apps, at least not at the level I have come to expect in MM books. For example the section on Apple Maps app describes the usual "how to push the buttons" including how to get Turn by Turn direction, but does not mention that Turn by Turn is ONLY available if you use "Current Location" as the starting point. If instead you type in your actual starting address (same place as "current location") you can NOT get Turn by Turn, but instead you are able to jump to any turn location on the map by tapping its step on the list of turns or by swiping the big green Direction step sign. The book does not tell users these are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE "features" or what triggers one mode vs. the other. Since this behavior of Maps is not at all intuitive, the MM should make it very clear to the reader. That's why I buy MMs, for the tips that are not in the Apple's User Guides.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Another Great Missing Manual
By RogerB
from Queensland Australia
About Me Experienced User
O'Reilly released the fifth edition of iPad in its Missing Manual series in November 2012 and has provided a copy for review. I was keen to read it as I have been using an iPad (when my wife lets me) over the past nine months, guided by the start up sheet that comes with the iPad, a downloaded PDF Apple iPad user manual and online Apple support. I was interested to see what the Missing Manual could add.Missing Manual series books are promoted by O'Reilly as 'the book that should have been in the box'. A little old fashioned, as most software doesn't come in a box any more; but it does refer back to a time when software came with a thick manual or set of manuals. I can remember when MS Office came with a stack of manuals about a foot high!The book is in a quality square spine soft cover form with a glossy cover, clear text and lots of colour images. It has seven pages of table of contents and 384 text pages, including a 18 page index. The author is J.D. Biersdorfer.The content covers all iPads, including the Mini. It also covers a lot of functionality outside the iPad itself – including iCloud, App Stores, PhotoStream and iTunes. At the time of publication it was known that iTunes 11 was about to be released. The author indicates that a section on iTunes 11 would be available subsequently as a PDF for download. In conjunction with the book O'Reilly offers on-line resources in the form of the "Missing CD" (the CD that you would have had to pay for if it came with the book) at its www.missingmanual.com website. This also is where other book updates will be available and where readers can leave their own comments. I downloaded the iTunes 11 item without trouble.There is so much content in the book it might be helpful to provide information on the 13 chapters and two appendices:Table of Contents - seven pages of detail down to main paragraph level titles.Introduction - introduces the book and its internal conventions.One – Set Up Your iPad - describes the iPad models and provides getting started advice, including activation and syncing.Two – Tour Your Tablet - explores all the controls, connectors and standard apps.Three – Interact with Your iPad - explains the finger moves for using the touch screen, the keyboards, searching and printing.Four – Get Online - covers wifi and cellular connection, FaceTime and Skype.Five – Surf the Web - Safari, iCloud and online apps.Six – Keep In Touch with Email and Messaging -all about email and messaging.Seven – Organise Your Life with the iPad's Apps - covers the standard apps that come with the iPad.Eight – Shop the App Store - how to use the App Store and to manage apps.Nine – Read iBooks and ePeriodicals - using iBooks and ePeriodicals and managing content.Ten – Play Games - using games and Game Centre.Eleven – Get Productive with iWork - covers the iWork apps – Pages, Numbers and Keynote.Twelve – Sync and Share Media Files Using iTunes and iCloud - using iTunes on the Mac, syncing between the Mac and iPad, iCloud.Thirteen – Master iTunes on the Desktop - more detailed use of iTunes on the Mac.Fourteen – Manage and Play Music and Other Audio - obtaining, syncing and using music and audio files on the iPadFifteen – Watch, Create and Edit Videos - obtaining, syncing and using movie and video files on the iPadSixteen – View, Shoot, Edit and Manage Photos - taking, photos, viewing and editing photosSeventeen – Back Up and Sync Your Gadgets with iCloud - covers setting up and using iCloudAppendix A – iPad Settings - explains the iPad settingsAppendix B – iPad Trouble Shooting and Care - basic issues, resetting, updating, restoring, repairing and protectingIndex - 18 pagesI read the book from cover to cover, grabbing the iPad from time to time to check out features or functions I was reading about. I knew quite a lot of the content already thanks to the information sources I have mentioned and the time I have been using an iPad. However, the book added clarity to much of what I 'knew'. It also gave me new information on aspects I had not got around to doing anything with so far, such as how to set up and use FaceTime (something I had tried and temporarily given up on), Games Centre, iWork, videos, iCloud and fixing problems with resetting and restoring the iPad.What I found very comforting was having all the information consolidated in one book – something easy to grab and access should the need arise. If I had had the book from the day the iPad arrived, learning the iPad would have been much easier.I found the iPad Missing Manual to be of the usual high standard of the series. It was interestingly written and comprehensive, with a good table of contents and index.

text: First some background info.....About a month ago my friend's dad traded in his 2001 Silverado 2500hd CCLB for a Chevy HHR, not quite sure what persuaded him to do so but he claimed he didn't need such a big truck any more and that the cost of filling up the truck was getting too costly, so he traded it in. Before he did so, he took off all the aftermarket items he purchased for the truck. One of them happened to be a plastic Delta toolbox he had, nothing fancy but it worked. Long story short, he gave me the toolbox for free and now it resides in my truck. It was a little rough around the edges when I first got it but after hosing the toolbox off and cleaning it with some Simple Green followed by a healthy application of Armor All, it looked almost new :rules: Also, the toolbox is bolted to rails attached to my BackRack, so I didn't have to drill into my truck's bed. I also like how there's some space underneath the toolbox, so I can still fit long items in the bed and more crap underneath the toolbox lol. Not a big fan of the gullwing-style lids but ehh, it was free so I'm not gonna complain. Just a few of the tools I have in the box, I also have a blanket, extra turn signal bulbs, fuses, wire connectors & terminals, zip ties, electrical tape, bungee cords, work gloves and some other stuff. Overall I'm quite satisfied with my latest acquisition, though I do plan on upgrading to a nice diamond plate metal toolbox at some point in the future when funds allow.

U.S. renews sanctions, Sudan criticizes decision
WASHINGTON/KHARTOUM (Reuters) - President Barack Obama renewed U.S. sanctions on Sudan on Friday, acknowledging Khartoum had resolved disputes with South Sudan but warning that Darfur and other conflicts still impeded normal ties, the State Department said.
Khartoum reacted by accusing the United States of "double standards".
The order maintains several sets of U.S. sanctions imposed since 1997 that restrict U.S. trade and investment with Sudan and block the assets of the Sudanese government and certain officials.
Conflicts in Sudan's South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, which border South Sudan, threaten regional stability and the lack of humanitarian access to the regions remains "very serious", the State Department said in a statement.
Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states since clashes between government forces and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N) broke out more than a year ago.
Sudan and South Sudan, which broke away last year under a peace deal that ended a decades-long civil war, signed deals in September to resolve border and security issues left over from their partition.
But issues such as the status of the contested Abyei region also posed a threat to security, the State Department said.
"Addressing these concerns is necessary for a peaceful Sudan and would enable the United States and Sudan to move towards a normalized relationship," it said.
Khartoum criticized the sanctions decision which it said was aimed at stymieing development in the country and pressuring Sudan to make concessions to American interests in the region. Continued...

I am recently started looking for an rifle in 5.56 Nato or .223. Either something based on th AR-15 or even something else (besides the common AR-15 models, e.g. LMT, I also looked at the SCAR and the SIG). Recently, the HK MR556A1 got my attention. It is kinda based on AR-15 but uses a gas piston system as they use it in their G36 (a weapon I loved back in my Military days). I am a big fan of the HK pistols. I like their reliablity, quality and designs.
They price tag is kinda high. It is $3,000 and I just wonder if it is worth its money. Does anyone ever got his hand on one of those babies? What are you experiences?
And yes, they sell it in CA!! :-)

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Loyola (Md.) University has formally accepted an invitation to join the Patriot League in all sports on July 1, 2013, for the 2013-14 academic year, Daniel H. Weiss, Chair of the Patriot League's Council of Presidents and President of Lafayette College announced Wednesday.
"Loyola University is an outstanding addition to our membership as a private institution with an excellent academic reputation and rich athletic history," Weiss said. "The decision to add Loyola reflects the Presidents' commitment to the stability and long-term positioning of the League."
"It is an honor to join the Patriot League's distinguished member institutions, all of which consistently demonstrate a profound commitment to excellence both in the classroom and on the field. That commitment is one we share at Loyola, and we see this move as a vital opportunity to continue to elevate our already outstanding athletics programs in keeping with our goal of becoming the nation's leading Catholic, comprehensive university," said Rev. Brian F. Linnane, S.J., Loyola's president.
With the addition of Loyola, the Patriot League membership increases to 10 full members; American University, Boston University (joins in 2013-14), Bucknell University, Colgate University, The College of the Holy Cross, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy. Furthermore, Fordham University and Georgetown University are associate members in the sport of football, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the sport of women's rowing.
The Patriot League was formed as an all-sport conference in 1990-91 after beginning as a football only conference (Colonial League) in 1986. Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette and Lehigh are each founding members of the League. Navy joined the Patriot League for the 1991-92 academic year. Prior to the addition of Boston University in June, American was the last full member to join the Patriot League (2001-02).
Loyola University will join the Patriot League in the following 17 sports; men and women's basketball, men and women's cross country, men's golf, men and women's lacrosse, women's rowing, men and women's soccer, men and women's swimming and diving, men and women's tennis, women's indoor and outdoor track and field and women's volleyball.
The Greyhounds posted one of the school's finest seasons on the field in 2011-12, as the men's lacrosse team won the NCAA title, the women's lacrosse team advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, the men's basketball team played in the NCAA Tournament and the men's golf team earned a spot in the NCAA Regional Tournament.
Eight Greyhound teams — men's cross country, women's basketball, men's swimming and diving, men and women's tennis, women's rowing, and women's indoor and outdoor track and field — were in the top-10 percent of NCAA Division I schools in the multi-year tracking of the Academic Progress Rate (APR). In addition, Loyola recorded 100 percent graduation success rate scores for 11 of 14 sports, according to the NCAA report released in October 2011.
"We are delighted to enhance the Patriot League membership to 10 full members with the addition of Loyola University," Patriot League Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich said. "Loyola University further strengthens the League in the southern portion of our footprint. With the addition of both Boston University and Loyola University for the 2013-14 academic year, we believe that the Patriot League has enriched its future both on the field of play and in the classroom."
"Loyola athletics' primary mission is to support the development of student-athletes who thrive academically, athletically, spiritually, and socially," said James Paquette, assistant vice president and director of athletics at Loyola. "The Patriot League embraces and supports those values, and we are thrilled to become partners with the league. Its members' histories of academic and athletic excellence are impressive and consistent not only with Loyola's past achievements, but our future ambitions as well."
The Patriot League continually demonstrates that student-athletes can excel at both academics and athletics without sacrificing its high standards. The Patriot League's athletic success is achieved while its member institutions remain committed to its founding principle of admitting and graduating student-athletes that are academically representative of their class. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education.
Established in 1852, Loyola University Maryland is a Jesuit comprehensive university comprising Loyola College, its school of arts and sciences; the Sellinger School of Business and Management; and the School of Education. Loyola enrolls 3,800 undergraduate and 2,200 graduate students from across the country and around the world.

Kemper, Jr. was best known for leading UMB Bank. He retired as chairman in 2004, passing leadership to his son J. Mariner Kemper, the sixth Kemper to lead the company.
Kemper, Jr. was also a philanthropist and major patron of the arts. In 1990 he provided $6 million to build the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
Kansas City, MO Mayor Sly James mourned the passing of Kemper, Jr. "Always a maverick, he showed us that a dose of independence and willpower can often move people and institutions forward more quickly than running with the flock."
Kemper, Jr. was known for his outspoken views. No more so than in his last full-length interview on KCPT when he appeared on the Talkback Live program with Steve Rose. In the interview from 2006, Kemper, Jr. holds nothing back from art to politics.
See more photos and videos, plus a biography and timeline of R. Crosby Kemper Jr.'s life at a UMB Bank in memoriam legacy page.
Ceremony for Kemper
The life of R. Crosby Kemper, Jr. will be honored this Thursday, January 9th, 2014 at 11 am at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, 415 W 13th St, KCMO. The public is also invited to a reception afterwards from 1:30 to 4:30 pm at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
LeoRose~yeah, I was reading that is was in September 2011 I believe. 300+ dogs were seized, but as far as I know, they got them back. I didn't know anything about it until yesterday. I still only know really minimal info. That's one of the things that prompted me to post here. I agree that there are a lot of dogs still, and a lot of litters. That made me leery. I am going to have an interesting time with one puppy!
It doesn't look like I will be getting one from there now anyway. I am looking into Vom Vollkemmen Kennel now. Hoping to hear back from the owners soon. It didn't show up during my search for kennels around me, so I'm glad I know about them now.
Thank you for your response
Isn't Alpha -Tex the kennel that made the news a couple of years ago, with something like 100+ dogs that were seized?
ETA: Just looked at their website. Twenty-nine bitches, thirteen dogs, and breed for family pets only? I'd pass.
The kennel in Amarillo didn't pop up in my search. We are less than 2 hours away from there. Thank you, I will take a look at them.
As far as research goes, I have been doing some reading just about every day for the last month, but because I am brand new, their is a lot of information to sort through. I'm hopefully getting there. I had been looking at the breeder for a couple of weeks, but just wasn't sure, that's why I brought it to you guys. Like I said, this will be my first large breed dog, and we will only be having one dog in the house. So because of that, I want to make sure we are getting what we want.
I really appreciate the info, and help!
|It's wise of you to do your research first. If you're anywhere near Amarillo, check out Vom Vollkommen kennel. I've seen some nice dogs from there
Thank you for the quick response.
I have read the links you provided previously, and found some very good information, a lot of things I did not know. I have gone back and forth quite a bit on the time commitment, etc. I am a stay at home mom, so I would be around majority of the time. I haven't gotten a full, uninterrupted nights sleep in about 3 years, so I'm used to it So mentally, I think I will be prepared for the most part, hopefully. Physically, my kids are very active, so I am very active. I run about 5 days/week, and lift about 5 days/week, so I think the puppy's activity level will be fine. Plus, I take the kids to the park, on walks, outside, etc. when the weather permits.
When it comes down to it, we don't have to get a puppy right away. Even with the litter we are looking at, we wouldn't actually be getting the puppy until the end of May/beginning of June (and that's if we even go with this breeder). If it takes longer, so be it.
Thank you for all of the information, and believe me, it is still all things that are being discussed/considered my myself and my husband
Welcome to the forum...
MENTALLY and physically, as well as timewise.... could you add another human baby to your house right now? You getting that much sleep and have that much free time?
Because adding a german shepherd puppy can be exactly as 'hard'' as that. And why SO MANY OF them end up in shelters and rescues because we just can't deal with them. I know my GSD pups have ALL been much more time consuming (and expensive because I had to not only make the time for dog classes but also pay for them).
Were you able to read ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...my-family.html
On top of that, there are many poor breeders out there. Meaning you can end up with a fear aggressive pup that bites, or one with health issues that can be a nightmare (at over $1000 a hip for surgery from Dysplasia.... puts the initial cost of finding a great breeder into perspective).
Other two sites that you need to spend hours going thru are http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...ind-puppy.html and http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...e-bad-one.html
BTW, there are some great dogs in shelters and rescues that their original owners paid a fortune for as purebred puppies! An older dog can be much less work
Breeder in West Texas
Hey everyone. This is my first post on this forum, but have been lurking for a month or so.
I would like to get a GSD for our family of four, but we have extremely limited options in and around where we live. My husband is in the USAF, and we are stationed in Eastern New Mexico. I am looking for a low drive, family dog. A dog that can grow up with my kids. I have a 15 month old son, and a 3 year old daughter.
I have been looking for a while, and the only actual breeder I can find within 2 hours of me, is AlphaTex Kennels/West Texas K9. Everyone else are BYB (i.e. a craigslist post selling puppies for $100 and letting them go at 5 weeks old).
I searched the forums, and was only able to find old information regarding the breeder. I have thoroughly searched her site, looking for the "signs of a reputable breeder". Things seem fine to me, other than the amount of puppies they have at once, and the fact that they don't have a spay/neuter contract. Now, this is coming from someone who is incredibly new to the GSD breed. I grew up with small dogs, with the exception of our Sheltie. As far dogs I have owned myself, I have only had a Pomeranian, and he passed away last summer.
I have been emailing back and forth with Sandra (one of the owners) and she seems very informative and helpful. I asked her if I could bring my kids out to see how they are with her "fur family", and she was more than willing to have us come out. The litter I am looking at will be born in Mid-March, but we will be going out there before then just to have a look around and see how my kids do. I told her what I wanted and which parents I was looking at, and she immediately told me which parents would be the best fit for me, which seemed like a good thing.
I am looking at Missy's RePlay and Cinch's litter, which is at the bottom of the puppies for sale page.

I just want to make sure I am getting the right puppy for my family, as my kids are priority number one. If anyone could give me some insight, I would greatly appreciate it. If this isn't what I should go for, any recommendations for in/around my area would be welcome and appreciated!
