The carbon motors thing... I doubt it will catch on, but Ford hasnt exactly stepped up to the plate in recent years. The vic is on the chopping block.
nice, where can I get one?
that appears to actually be a well thought out design that takes into account issues with using stock vehicles
the lights along the roofline are most likely EL (electro luminescent) film
I like the handy shotgun/AR-15 holders. I should install one in my car. :rofl:
Dodge has the Charger, and its a pretty bad arsed car, but its a little small in the passenger compartment. Thats why a lot of departments wont go with Dodge.
Chevy has done nothing but produce crap for the police market.
I take that back... GM has put out a pretty nice Tahoe police package.
Some interesting ideas for the back doors (and back seats). However, back seats might make a hog tie situation harder.
I think that's pretty sexy, although I've seen some TV shows (COPS is funny ok, yes yes, I understand much of it is "How to be a dead cop", but still funny) where they hog tie the guy up like Thanis said and that would be hard.
Other than that, I think you guys deserve the very best we can give you. Thanks for the service! BTW, when you get here, I'll be the clean cut normal looking guy with the holstered weapon standing over the scum bag approaching room temperature, please don't shoot :-D
Didn't I see sumpin like that on RoboCop years ago

Prisoner pleads guilty to guard assault
An inmate at Hobart's Risdon Prison has pleaded guilty to an attack on a prison guard last year.
Adrian Alwyn Pickett was flanked by four prison officers when he appeared in the Hobart Magistrates Court this morning.
The court heard the 33-year-old punched a prison guard on the side of his face last April.
The maximum security inmate pleaded guilty to one count of assaulting a public officer.
He is expected to be sentenced next month.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
As far as I know, Peyton Manning has never been accused of sexual assault. Same for Tom Brady. Same for Brett Favre. Same for Drew Brees.
Now, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault for a second time. The first accusation was brushed off as a woman looking for some money (her claim did seem suspicious). But, after another accusation, does Big Ben have a big problem?
Before I start accusing him myself (I wasn't there), let's take a look at the latest report.
Roethlisberger, who just turned 28 this past week, was out with a couple friends watching a University of Pittsburgh basketball game at a Georgia bar. Patrons at the bar noticed nothing out of the ordinary, and the QB "was very polite with everybody," according to 24-year-old Paul Kurcikevicus.
Big Ben then moved onto a nightclub to "celebrate" and was escorted to a VIP area with a group of close friends and a group of women. Ben, to my knowledge, isn't married, so this is a perfectly normal activity for a single professional athlete (Tiger, the key word is "single").
The victim, a 20-year-old female college student, and her party contacted police after the alleged sexual assault.
"(Roethlisberger is) been identified as being at the scene and there are allegations naming him as the perpetrator," Deputy Police Chief Richard Malone said.
The nature of the sexual assault is unknown, but Malone was quick to note that Roethlisberger is not being accused of rape.
Roethlisberger and the victim were interviewed by police, and the woman was taken to the hospital. She was later treated and released.
Roethlisberger's agent Ryan Tollner seemed skeptical that his client had done anything wrong. He question's the alleged victim's motives, especially considering the QB's past allegations.
"Last night, Ben and his friends met a group of women and everyone mingled together throughout the evening," the agent's statement said. "We have spoken to law enforcement. Based on information currently available, an allegation was made against Ben, which appeared to be dismissed after a preliminary investigation last night. Obviously, given the prior accusation against Ben, we are skeptical of motive, but we will continue to cooperate with everyone involved."
Roethlisberger and his friends left Georgia on Friday, but police will be speaking with the QB again as the case begins to take shape.
In the world of sports and news, where there's smoke, there's usually fire. It's true there are isolated cases that may be a mirage (like we all thought that Ben's first allegation was), but when similar stories keep popping up with the same athlete, questions have to be asked.
I know it's in my nature to be skeptical of anything and everyone, but I will give Roethlisberger the benefit of the doubt here. Unless he comes out and admits guilt, is found guilty in court, or decides to settle the case outside of the court room, then I believe that all people, including athletes, are innocent until proven guilty.
I understand, though, that it's pretty hard to ignore a story when it keeps popping up. We'll see how this case gets settled, and if any more pop up in the future.
Tags: Ben Roethlisberger, court
I'll also give Ben the benefit of the doubt. However, he really needs to stop putting himself in these kinds of situations. Apparently he does have body guards who follow him around. So you would think they'd prevent something like this from happening AGAIN.
Maybe it's time for him to try dating and give the hooking up with drunk college girls thing a permanent break.
As a Steelers fan, I'm used to no BS, so for this to happen again is frustrating. Pretty soon this stuff is going to catch up with him and start affecting his performance on the field too.
Also…the picture you have there doesn't look like it was recently taken. Big Ben's face looks fat. I wouldn't be surprised if he weighs all of 265 right now. A sign he's been doing too much partying and not enough working out.
Anyway…fingers crossed.
I like how you through Tiger Woods name in the story as if to say….we can give Big Ben a pass because he's single. Great job, but you forgot to mention NOT ONE of Tiger Woods flings said he raped them. POW! Now explain why this rape # 2 is not getting the press it would if it was OCHOCINCO, or T.O, or Donavan Mcnabb?……………
1 – Big Ben was never charged with rape.
2- Just because somebody claims they were raped does not mean it actually occurred. (esp. if this alleged rapee has been dubbed a lunatic by people who know her)
3- We do know for certain that Tiger DID have multiple affairs. He ADMITTED this to the public.
4-How do you know there would be more media coverage if it were ochocinco TO or McNabb? You don't, because none of them were ever accused of raping somebody. Are you implying he's getting a pass because he's white?
5-Ben was with TWO Pennsylvania police officers who both said they saw no foul play.
6- The "rape #2" victim as you called her, is a 20 year old college student who was drunk off her ass. She also just dropped out of school and hired a Civil suit lawyer. This just screams $$$$$$$$$$$.
7- Your spelling is atrocious. It's threw not through.
Yes–No one knows what "happened" yet? Unfortunately, for women..when you are alone with a man, without any witnesses, something "bad", can happen, and then it just comes down to "he said/she said".
I know that almost every single person from 18-35 does "party" a little bit. Nothing wrong with that.
However, what is "wrong" or "dumb", or "unfortunate", is that people think they can "Hook Up" with a "Stranger" (even a Professional Athelete) at a "Club", and that…"Something GOOD will happen".—NOTE to ALL—Meeting people is "Fine", but…getting a number to talk later (when sober) is acceptable, but, going somewhere "private", with a complete stranger is "NOT".
I BLAME "BEN" because he is a pro-athelete who has to show some level of personal "control". He is going to have a lot of women "throw" themselves at him, because of the whole "sports idol/rich single guy" culture. HOWEVER….he can say "No", not now…if he is interested, and contact them later to date in a "safe" situation. A CLUB is NOT a safe meeting place, and "drunk" is not "consentual status" to allow you to do anything to a girl you just met.
I am not "blaming" the girl. Any girl who gets "drunk", needs to be protected from "unwanted" advances, which can quickly lead to a "sexual assualt"….If the bodyguard, led her to a "private area".."DRUNK", and her friends saw that, the police should investigate him, for at least "deliquency of a minor" or "providing sexual transport of a minor".—ALL WOMEN…need to try and understand,…DON'T GET WASTED, without..a "Protector" who is "NOT DRINKING" and watching out for you. (There are losers everywhere.)
Have we already forgotten the tragic case of "Natalie Holloway" ?To just remind all women, that "Cute" guys…can be both, "rapists" and possibly "killers."

Jerusalem Segway tours are a great, fun and enjoyable way to get about this ancient city. There are several Segway tours available, each providing an outstanding opportunity to view Jerusalem from a unique and memorable vantage point. For example a night time excursion, which starts as the sun begins to set over the rooftops is the perfect start to your unfolding adventure.
With spectacular views of the city in the fading light and informative and interesting guides leading the way, this is a truly inspiring Jerusalem experience. No less exciting is the Old City Walls Segway tour, which follows the narrow alleys and markets and is led by experienced Segway guides. For those of you who like your green open spaces, there's even a Segway tour to cater for you too.
Taking in the Valley of the Cross, the government complex (including the Supreme Court and the Knesset), a scenic view of the red tiled roofs of Nachlaot and finally Gan Sacher this is a great way to see parts of Jerusalem that ordinarily you might not have time to see in one trip

text: Lasser calculates that to raise the equity portion of the deal, a consortium of up to five private equity firms contributing up to $600 million apiece might be needed. "In our view, this would be a lot of exposure to an investment that has a high degree of uncertainty surrounding a potential exit," he wrote. Both Lasser and McShane maintained neutral ratings on Best Buy shares and price targets of $20 and $21, respectively -- far below Schulze's prospective offer. Still, Best Buy shares are on the rise because Schulze's proposal is likely to be taken favorably by some shareholders who are looking for a way to exit the company, as it loses customers to online retailers like Amazon. Schulze, who spent 46 years at Best Buy, may also be seen in a favorable light by shareholders were he to piece together a formal share bid. In his letter, Schulze said that former Best Buy executives Brad Anderson and Allen Lenzmeier would "be interested in rejoining the company," potentially restoring a management team that made Best Buy into a leading electronics retailer. During the period from 1991 through 2009 when Schulze, Anderson and Lenzmeier led Best Buy, the company's revenues increased from approximately $900 million to over $45 billion. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased from approximately $30 million to $2.9 billion, Schulze noted in the letter. Meanwhile, shareholders enjoyed a total return in excess of 16,000%. "This proposal represents a unique win-win opportunity for everyone involved," said Schulze in the letter. "It would create a new day for Best Buy employees and provide public shareholders with a significant all-cash premium for their shares. Importantly, it would eliminate the market and execution risk for Best Buy shareholders associated with a turnaround under an interim CEO." While Schulze is talking up the offer as a win-win, the similarities to Icahn buyout tactics suggest anything but a guaranteed victory for the former Best Buy chairman, or shareholders. For more on potential large buyouts, see details on why reports of LabCorp's ( LH) takeover hinge on a pre-bust M&A market. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

Ruth Mooney Portrait
Ruth's ministry is Christian education. She lives in Costa Rica, where she works with Ediciones Lumbrera, a team that writes and publishes Bible study materials for the Federacion de Asociaciones Bautistas de Costa Rica and churches throughout Latin America.
The material emphasizes a participatory teaching style that seeks the transformation of the learners as well as dialogue and community within the group. Ruth has published a manual for writing Christian education materials using this emphasis. She is currently on U.S./Puerto Rico Assignment.
She writes: One of the most distinctive characteristics of an authentic Christian community is thanksgiving. Often we are caught up in the spirit of our age that teaches us to never be satisfied with what we have, to always want more, to buy, buy, buy, even if we don't need it and can't afford it. Yet, we already have more than we need, and are excessively wealthy by the world's standards. Perhaps it is time to rethink our priorities. Let us be thankful for laughter and friends, for authenticity and hope. Instead of more things, let us strive for more justice, more goodwill among all, more forgiveness and community. Of those things we can never have too much.
• Pray for Ruth as she ministers in churches during her time in the United States and as she continues her Christian education ministry in Costa Rica.

Voting in District 24
Dennis Baxley gave up his House of Representatives seat to join the race to replace Argenziano. His seat in the House District 24 is open. That primary will also be Tuesday.
It is entirely inside Marion County, in the eastern and southern parts of the county and includes places like Belleview, Silver Springs Shores and parts of Ocala.
The Marion County Department of Elections said there are 91,000 registered voters in the House District 24. There are a little over 43,000 registered Republicans.
This means that Tuesday, less than half of the registered voters in this district will even have a say in who wins the primary, and ultimately wins the seat. The Democratic party failed to nominate a candidate and Republican Nancy Stacy filed in Tallahassee as an Independant write-in candidate.
Tuesday's primary is only open to Republicans and the general election ballot will only have one real Republican candidate on it.

In an effort to probe the structure and mechanism of metallo-b-lactamases, the metal-binding behaviors of several enzymes were studied using EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure). Three members of the metallo-b-lactamase subclass B1, BcII from Bacillus cereus, Bla2 from Bacillus anthracis and CcrA from Bacillus fragilis, were compared to examine metal-binding behavior within a subclass. Each system exhibits different metal-binding behavior including cooperative binding (BcII), sequential binding (CcrA), and differential binding between zinc(II) and cobalt(II) forms (Bla2). The metal-binding behavior of subclass B3 of L1 from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was explored with RFQ (rapid-freeze quenched) EXAFS and site selective metal substitution. RFQ EXAFS show the metal coordination at 10 ms in the reaction in the native enzyme including a zinc-zinc distance (3.72Å) greater than is present in either the resting or product-bound states. Metal substitution incorporates cobalt(II) into the Zn2(DHH) of the enzyme and showed the metal-binding at each metal site.

In a super competitive game played on a big stage and before the trio of Division 1 games at the Konica Minolta Big City Classic in East Rutherford (N.J.), the St. Andrew's Scots (8-1) of Florida topped the Don Bosco Prep Ironmen (1-1) in a 9-8 overtime decision. Connor Whipple netted the game-winning goal with 1:08 to play to win the game for the Southeast power. The talented sophomore attackman led all scorers with four goals and an assist on the day.
Although it was sloppy at times especially in the two quarters, both teams played a fantastic game and it was enjoyable seeing a contrast in styles. Under head coach Mike Springer, a 4x All American at Syracuse in the early 2000's, the Ironmen really slowed down the game, while first year head coach R.J. Dawson pushed the tempo big time as usual, taking advantage of the strong crop of athletes they've got down in the program.
In regard to that tidbit about the difference in pace, I got a fantastic postgame quote from Dawson about what it was like with a major contrast in styles between the two teams from opposite regions: "We want to run and challenge while Don Bosco - they're very settled with their different offensive sets. For a while, we were kind of shocked at how to play because down in Florida, kids sort of run first and figure out the game second."
Although not playing their best lacrosse, St. Andrew's was able to jump out to a 4-2 lead after the first quarter. Junior Jordan Todd took a pass from Whipple and finished as time expired in the opening stanza. Both sides were a bit sloppy with a handful of unforced errors by either team, but hey, that's to be expected playing in a monstrous NFL stadium for the first time. Don Bosco was able to get the Scots' off of their game in the next twelve minutes, outscoring them 4-2 in the second. They took a 6-5 advantage into the break thanks to a pretty goal from close range by Ironmen senior Anthony Disanzo with four seconds left.
The third quarter was a war for possession, as it was evident that both of these teams were extremely hungry to get the ball and put it in, but St. Andrew's was able to score the only goal of the quarter.
The Scots got hot early in the fourth at the New Meadowlands Stadium, going up 8-6. One of his four goals on the day was scored with five minutes left remaining to tie it up at eight apiece, when the senior caught the ball on the wing and fired in a shot from eight or so yards. It was deadlocked for the rest of the game, which was an incredibly exciting few minutes of lacrosse for spectators and players alike.
Don Bosco went man-up with 47 seconds left on a thirty second hold call, but threw the pass away. After a timeout by each respective squad, neither team was able to finish the fight.
St. Andrew's won the first faceoff of overtime (and according to stats, didn't lose one in the second half), brought it down and set a play to win the game. After the win, RJ Dawson spoke very highly of his brilliant sophomore attackman Conor Whipple, noted that #3 played like a senior.
"In overtime, [offensive coordinator] Brian Cost put in a little Mumbo play and tried to create a lot of traffic and when Connor gets the ball in that type of situation, he knows where to go and he finished it. Awesome play from a young, savvy player."
Don Bosco will face archrival Bergen Catholic on Tuesday, while St. Andrew's will face off with Gulliver Prep, one of Florida's top teams. The Scots only have two more weeks of the regular season remaining then will go for another Florida State Championship.
Check back to this story for more information on the Don Bosco side.

Our company foundation sometimes carries out its own charitable programs. For example, last year we organized a conference on the topic of evaluating program impact for our grantees and other nonprofits in one of our communities. Where does this information get reported on our Form 990-PF [1]?
Expenses for activities carried out directly by the foundation (other than grantmaking) will appear as operating and administrative expenses in Part I of the Form 990-PF. Expenses will be broken down based on the nature of the expense. For example, payment to speakers for the conference would typically be included in "other professional fees" on line 16(c) but expenses related to producing a publication would be reported on line 22.
Reporting direct charitable expenses as operating and administrative expenses on Part I of Form 990-PF often causes concern for private foundations because it makes it appear that significant resources are being spent on overhead and administrative expenses instead of grants. However, completing Part IX-A "Summary of Direct Charitable Activities" will help tell the story of the use of operating and administrative expenses. Part IX-A of Form 990-PF allows the foundation to list and describe its four largest direct charitable programs. Direct and indirect expenses related to such programs are also reported in this section.
Grants and expenses related to administering grant program are not included as direct charitable activities. For example, costs associated with reviewing grant proposals and site visits would not be reported in this section. However, technical assistance to grantees, such as the conference described above, would be considered a direct charitable activity because the technical assistance is beyond monitoring or advising grantees in the use of grant funds. Further examples of direct charitable activities and guidelines for reporting expenses related to such activities are included in the Form 990-PF instructions [2].

The Promise of Pinterest — Opportunities for Outdoor Companies?
Have you checked out Pinterest? Chances are its users have checked you out and are already linking to your products and driving traffic to you or your dealers. A Google search for blogs that mention Pinterest yielded 90.6 million results, including wtfpinterest.com, a blog dedicated to chronicling and critiquing some of the more bizarre posts on the website.
Launched in March 2010, Pinterest is a highly visual online "pinboard" that allows people to organize and share things they love. Users pin images they find around the Internet to their own Pinterest boards using a "Pin It" app they can download into their web browser. The app automatically grabs the online image, as well as the source URL, and adds it to the user's selected pinboard. Users organize their images on their own themed pinboards, which other users are free to browse, comment on, "like" and "repin." The more activity your posts have, the more likely they will make it onto the coveted Popular board, thus broadening your exposure exponentially.
While Pinterest can sometimes seem cluttered, social marketing gurus have latched onto it as an increasingly effective way to drive people, particularly women, to clients' sites. Some reports now credit Pinterest with driving more blog traffic than Twitter.
Still not pinterested? Consider this: Pinterest's unique users increased 52 percent to 17.8 million in February 2012, making it the third fastest growing major U.S. website, according to the research firm comScore, Inc. It's rapidly closing in on Twitter for e-commerce referrals. Yet many of the most sophisticated outdoor vendors and retailers who embed Facebook and Twitter buttons onto their product pages have yet to do so with Pinterest.
For marketers, the goal is to work your way from the top of one of Pinterest's 16 main category boards to the top of the site's widely viewed Popular board. By embedding a "Pin It" link on their product pages or creating a Pinterest page of their own, a vendor or retailer can encourage Pinterest users to post images that will link back to their website just like Delicious, Digg, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and dozens of other social media websites do.
In the case of outdoor brands, Pinterest's most relevant category boards include Fitness, Women's Apparel, Men's Apparel, Outdoors, and Travel and Sports, although others such as Design and Humor have potential. Also, users can search the site for specific products, brands, users and phrases, such as "camping gear" or "adventure travel."
At this point, however, it's not clear how important Pinterest will be for outdoor product companies. Last week the site's Popular page was dominated by images related to home décor, fashion apparel, humor, weddings and personal care products. Lifestyle-oriented brands can potentially benefit from the site, but — as with any emerging social media platform — leveraging Pinterest for outdoor industry uses will require a certain amount of momentum in the outdoor space. With more outdoor companies pinning, the potential increases for users to latch on to this content and spread it virally.
Rules of the game might be changing, however, as Pinterest is still refining its business model. In a March 27, 2012, blog entry, digital marketing expert Colby Almond raised questions about whether Pinterest changed its algorithm in a fundamental way, making it more difficult for new users' posts to end up on the Popular board.
One thing is for sure: Given Pinterest's rising traffic and popularity, brands and retailers should at least explore what it has to offer. It could become another must-have arrow in the social media quiver, but it does require a time investment. If you choose to dive in, be prepared to make regular pins since this is the key to driving traffic to your pinboard and, ultimately, your website.

A New Year
How was your New Years? This is how we rang ours in. The sound was deafening for sure. At midnight the huge ones started and they continued on for 45 minutes..non stop. They got louder and louder and the biggest bangs would rattle your pictures. The boys and I sat upstairs with the bedroom blinds and window open. It's amazing to me that we are now in the year 2010! doesnt seem real sometimes.
I am not one to make all these changes to myself every year. As I look into this brand new year I do pause and think about everything. I'm still getting used to living in another country. I honestly think I will spend the rest of my life getting used to it. I have a constant nagging feeling inside of me thats telling me Im not doing what I'm supposed to. I just wish I knew what "It" was. Growing up I wanted nothing more than to spend my life taking care of wild animals. I wanted to study the Silver Back Gorillas..a part of me still does:) However I traded that in for another dream..wich was mommyhood...and honestly, raising two boys is like having two gorillas in your house. They sure eat like one! I want to do more with myself but I have no clue as to what direction to go in. I love photography and about cried when I knew I was getting a new camera. I have big plans with that this year and Im so excited.
My husband and I have suffered a crippling loss to our family in June. The more I live on this earth, the more I do not understand it and why some are taken way before their time. It's not fair and it hurts. It hurts more than I could ever express and I still don't know how to deal with that. Since moving here I've had to let go of certain ideas of how things are and should be. I may live in a dutch society but I keep an american home..and I always will. I've learned to stand up for myself in ways I didn't think I had to. I'm learning lessons that I could of lived without. I've learned that people might be friendly, but they aren't always nice. I've learned that a true friendship shouldn't be toxic and make you feel bad. You shouldnt have to follow rules to be someone's friend. I've also learned that sometimes all you need is your husband and kids. I've learned that Im stronger than I ever thought possible. I've learned that even at 35 I still have much to learn.
I have tons of new recipes to share and pictures to post. I hope you will stick with me in 2010:) You guys mean so much to me. I wish you could feel how much. I love coming to your blogs and peaking into your world. I love it when you post personal stories,struggles,recipes and funny things that happend to you. I look forward to getting to know you all more!

Breeder Recommendations in MI?
With the possibility of getting a GSD in the next few years becoming more likely, I am starting to look very intentionally for a breeder. This will be my first GSD, and even though my puppy will primarily be a companion, I am not looking at "pet" breeders.
I'm partial to working GSDs, but am especially interested in West German Working lines. If any of you have breeder recommendations in MI, I would love to hear about your experiences.
I may also consider traveling to breeders relatively nearby (including north IN & IL, and possibly west OH and south WI), but a shorter driving distance is preferable.
Thank you!
Wildhaus, zu Treuen Haenden, vom Geistwasser, vom Flussblick. I know all these people and have seen many dogs from each kennel. I owned and trained a dog from Geistwasser (northern IL).
Nice avi, does gildaf work for you?
Set the lady an email wasn't a fan of her
Willingness to help but people seem to like her dogs
Geistwasser has some amazing looking dogs, and I've watched some videos of their work, too. Would you mind telling me a bit about the temperament and biddability of the dog that you had from them?
Gildaf is a very reasonable distance, and the dogs do look good. Would you mind PMing me to let me know a bit more about your experience? Thanks!
I have two gildaf dogs, and I love them, and their breeder.
Skadi and Grim were both returned to the breeder at between seven and ten months old, so there are some mysteries about their pasts, although I have been in contact with Skadi's very sweet previous owner, who had a young child and an intense young working line shepherd and just couldn't get past some issues she was having in Skadi's training around her child . I have written extensively on Skadi's issues as a teen on the forums but we are mostly past them now with time and training. She was deeply loved and extensively socialized as a puppy and young dog, and it shows in how friendly and fearless she is with strangers and strange dogs. She has a bubbly, exuberant personality and is one of the smartest dogs i have ever met, but she does test boundaries if she feels she can ( Melinda warned us that she was pretty nonstop when we brought her home, but she is currently napping by my side as she has developed the ability to relax). Skadi is medium to high drive and is two. She has an intense ball and tug drive. Ball insane. Tug insane. She stares at the toy cabinet and begs to train often. She is high energy, loves to meet anyone, loves other dogs, could care less about loud noises, picks up on new commands very fast and is great off leash.
We have only had Grim, her half brother, for a few months. He is nine months old and unneutered still, so his hormones are going right now. He is the cuddliest, most loving boy you could ask for with my husband and I and his foster family, who really wanted to keep him but were unable to with their other two dogs and still stay in close contact and offer to Grim-sit if we ever need it. He has a good off switch and could cuddle all day, is ball and tug silly, though his drives are increasing a bit as he gets older, learns quickly, and loves to train. We are dealing with some reactivity right now with strangers and strange dogs, which I believe stems from him being undersocialized and never being taken to classes as a baby, his hormones, and natural GSD suspicion. He is food insane.
Lucy Dog on the forum has a vom gildaf dog and is very happy, I believe.

I've got a gildaf pup. Well, dog now, i guess. He just turned 1. Very good young guy - exactly what i asked for. I'd call him medium drive. Very easy to handle for anyone that knows the breed and what's expected of it. It was a breeze to raise him as a puppy - he never destroyed anything and was house broken in weeks of getting him home.
No reactivity to anything - noises, dogs, kid, adults etc. Balanced dog, but a little crazy and all over the place when the ball comes out. That will probably get better with age and maturity. Great with everyone and never a problem anywhere i take him. Happy-go-lucky type personality is probably the best way to explain him. Goofy boy that is very pack driven. Always trying to sit on my lap like he's some little lap dog. Perfect "off switch" that we're all looking for. Just an all around good dog.
He's not the biggest male and will probably top out at about 70+, but I told melinda that I preferred a dog that size. He'd be a perfect agility or flyball dog, but I just keep him as an active pet.
This is him.

There has been a lot of talk about Esri's new technical certifications on various listservs, boards and blogs. While certification is nothing new to many of the disciplines GIS specialist/professionals work with such as IT, Planning, Project Management, Surveying, Tax Assessment, and so on, it is relatively new to the GIS field.
The GISP certification from the GISCI has only be around for about 10 years. It currently doesn't include an exam. Expect that to change. GISCI is working on an exam which is tentatively set for release in 2015. Esri's certifications have only been around for a couple of years. Because certification is new to GIS, many in the GIS industry have had little if any exposure to taking a certification exam. As a result, they are unsure of what to expect or how to prepare.
During the course of my career, I have taken and passed several certification exams which includes Esri's Desktop Associate exam as well as several Microsoft Certifications, Esri Authorized Instructor exams, a CompTIA Certification, and the Certified Floodplain Manager exam. Most recently I took the Esri Enterprise Administration Associate beta exam for ArcGIS 10.1. Still waiting to get word on if I passed that one. It is my hope that I can offer a little insight into what you can expect when you take an Esri Certification exam and some suggestions on how to prepare.
One thing all technicial vendor certification exams have in common, they are designed to test your overall familiarity with the application you are being tested on. This means they will get into the weeds about specific functions, tools, toolbars, and workflows with the software. This has been true of the Microsoft and Esri Certification exams I have taken. You may see questions asking the location of commonly used tools and menus or how you might access commonly used functionality. So you need to make sure you know where these are located, what their names are and basic functionality associated with them. In the case of ArcGIS Desktop, this might include things like how do you autohide the catalog window or dock the search window or knowing what toolbar the Find tool is located on and so on. Oh and you will not have access to the software when you take the exam. Some questions will have graphics attached but you will not be able to open ArcMap to find that tool you use with the binocular icon.
You also need to make sure you are familiar with the vendor recommended workflows. In the case of the Esri certification exams, these would be the ones Esri recommends as best practices for ArcGIS for Desktop or Server or SDE which might be different from what you do in your shop. When answering workflow questions make sure to keep in mind that the answers will be limited to the software and vendor you are being tested on. So if you use a third party add-on, such as Xtools to perform some task, you will need to make sure you how to do that with plain ArcGIS or one of the Esri Extensions. One of the best ways to make sure you are familiar with the recommended workflows, is to go back through books from any of the Esri courses you may have taken. The exercises are especially helpful. They will generally follow the workflows and methods Esri recommends as best practices.
Another thing that is common to every certification exam I have taken are questions that test your knowledge of the vendor or industries' lingo or terms. You need to make sure when you see terms, such as Feature Class, Feature Dataset, Layer, Topology, Geodatabase Topology and so on, that you know what they mean in the Esri world. My experience as an Instructor has shown me that many shops develop their own version GIS terms and lingo. For example I have seen shops where every data layer they have is refered to as a shapefile. It doesn't matter if it is a feature class stored in a Geodatabase or some other format. Everything is referred to as a shapefile. This will get you in trouble when you sit for a certification exam.
Esri's online GIS dictionary (http://resources.arcgis.com/glossary) is a great resource to make sure you know what Esri means when it uses specific terms. Once again, reviewing any training materials you have from past classes is also a good idea. Using these to make a study sheet or flash cards can provide a great exam prep tool.
I have found that most ArcGIS Users tend to specialize in specific areas, be it parcel mapping, transportation analysis, data collection or so on. This means they are experts at using the tools they use on a regular basis but often forget or are unaware of the other capabilities of ArcGIS software. This will make passing one of the Esri certification exams difficult. They are not profession specific but instead test you on the entire software package.
As you prepare for the exam make sure you take the time to look at tools and functions outside your specific area of expertise. A good example of this is projections and coordinate systems. Many ArcGIS Users use the same data day after day. It is all in the same coordinate system so they do not have to worry about it. However, one of the powerful functions of ArcGIS is to project data from one coordinate system to another. There is a good possibility that you will encounter some questions related to projecting data in ArcGIS as well some of the components that define a coordinate system such as datum or ellipsoid. Again going back through old training materials is a good way to review.
A few other tips for preparing for an exam:
- Make sure to get a good night's rest before the exam. Don't over cram.
- Take practice exams. This can be from an online service or use the sample questions on the Esri website and the exam specific skills measured as a guide to make your own. Review questions from Esri classes also make good practice questions.
- Plan to go through the exam 3 or 4 times. During the first pass answer the questions you know for sure. Then come back and hit the ones you narrowed down to a couple of possible answers. Lastly hit the ones you have no idea. Remember an unanswered question is automatically wrong.
- Don't force yourself to go for a higher level exam than you are ready for. Don't feel you have to take the professional level exam even if you have been using the software for a long time.
- Remember theses exams are based on ArcGIS 10 or 10.1. So if you have not been using those versions, do not take the exam. I can almost promise you will not pass.
Esri and a couple of vendors have begun to develop exam prep classes. This includes my company eGIS Associates. These classes can provide a great opportunity to review functionality and provide a chance to identify areas where your knowledge may be weak. Many folks have reported these classes to be extremely helpful as they prepared for the exams.
I hope this helps. If anyone has any questions about the new Esri Technical Certification Exams please feel free to contact me.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/8/2014 (1055 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It took Victoria King a while to decide where to go to school this autumn, and now she can't wait to finally get there.
The 17-year-old, who lives just north of Forrest, almost waited until the high school year was over before she decided to go to the University of Mary and play NCAA Division II women's volleyball with the Marauders.
King wasn't convinced university was right for her and was looking at colleges in Alberta for a while, but the people and look of the University of Mary campus made her decision easier, even though the 6-foot-3 right side knows it will take a while to adjust to life in Bismarck, N.D.
"I was there the past two weeks and we practised a bit," King said. "Pretty huge (jump in level of volleyball). It's a lot faster. The game is played a lot faster. People hit a lot harder at you and you have to be ready for anything. I'm so excited."
King helped the Elton Sabres win the provincial high school AA varsity girls' volleyball championship with a 2-0 (25-23, 25-17) win over the Killarney Raiders in the final in Steinbach. She was also listed as a provincial graduating all-star.
Because she waited so long to make her decision, King wasn't able to secure a free-ride scholarship, but she did get a partial tuition scholarship for the year. She will use to study psychology.
The added bonus in going to Bismarck for King is that she still feels somewhat close to her family.
"It was closer than some of the other places that I had to choose from," she said. "It just seemed like a nice place when I visited. I was originally looking at college because I didn't think university would be a good fit for me, but I just fell in love with it when I went down there and thought I'd try to be there."
The Marauders struggled last season with a 4-23 overall record and a 1-19 mark in conference play.
King would love to see the team improve on that mark this season, but isn't sure how much of an impact she'll be able to make. She'll find out later whether she'll redshirt the season or fill a role and come off the bench.
Either way, King is looking forward to going back to North Dakota on Aug. 16 to prepare for her first season of university volleyball.
"I'm so excited. I can't wait to be back with the team," she said.

Is it reasonably cost effective possible? What would the expected outcome be? HP and fuel econmy. Thanks this looks like the right place to ask.
If the journal diameters are the same or could be machined to match the receiving block, you'd be giving up .230" of stroke.CID = bore x bore x stroke x 0.7854 x #of cylsCase in point, 3.736 x 3.736 x 3.25 x 0.7854 x 8 = 285If it bolts straight in, using 305 pistons and 5.7" rods, the loss of stroke leaves the piston and additional .23 in the hole on top of the factory deck height. Using a 6" rod adds .3 to the overall length but then the piston is .07 out of the hole, above the block deck. You'll need custom pistons with either rod length. Then it will have to be balanced or it will kill itself quickly.While it sounds cool, like a 283, the 305 block has some of the smallest bores of the family. The only blocks to have smaller bores are the 262 & 267. It CAN be done but the cost and labor would hardly be worth the effort, IMO.
+1 ScottWhy would you want to do that. Get a 4" bore block, and if you want destroke it to a 283. Then the heads with 2.02/1.60 will fit in the cylinder without any shrouding.Unless your plan was to just go smaller. Let us know what you want to do. Bob
All true about a 305 and 307. what combination can be made that results a worth while enginge? I have a 307,305,327 block,350 heads and voretc heads. 305/307 are not worth the outcome. a 327/307 crank,rods and pistons im not sure what I have but need new to fit bores. and vortec heads. Im trying to make a the best combo without going exotic.I guess the 305 heads on the 350 would be more cost effective.
Is the 327 a large journal block? Even if it's not, with its 4" bore that'd be the one to use with the Vortec heads.Even though the sbcs parts are mostly intechangeable, mixing a crank from one displacement with a block of another displacement, then mixing in pistons to fit will require a master balance man make it work. Removing weight just takes time, adding weight takes time & money. The 307 & 327 have the same stroke while the 305 has the same stroke as a 350. The 305 crank with the 327 block will mathematically yield a 350, making it work balance-wise might be an expensive nightmare.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SCOTT.This is exactly the information and rational thinking i need.Ok that leaves out the mouse motors. I have a virgin 400 small block and a 402BB.Im lookin at puting one into the 74 el Camino. Vortec heads on the 400 vs 402 which has roller rockers at least (not sure of internals.) Tour the country with gas price in mind. maybe a little toyhauling mixed in. Which would be the better choise?How would you fuel it cost effectively?
400sbc = 4.125 bore & 3.75 stroke396bbc = 4.094 bore & 3.76 stroke402bbc = 4.125 bore & 3.76 strokeDepends on which 400sbc block you have and which 396bbc you have. Later 2-bolt main 400sbc would be the better choice of 400sbc. The 396 blocks got a bigger bore starting in 1972 and kept the same stroke for the 402bbc. Depending on application it was billed as a 396, 400, or 402.You can read about that in the wiki link.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Big-Block_engineGiven the price & availability of parts in conjunction with the parts you have on hand, if it was me, I'd build the 400sbc IF you have the stronger 2-bolt version. Start by having the block thoroughly inspected for cracks AND cylinder wall thickness before buy anything for it. That goes for any block of unknown condition/origin.On the other hand, if you actually have a later big bore 396, you could get a crank kit and go with the longer 4" stroke for an oddball 427. I say oddball because a factory 427 had the same stroke as a 396 with a larger 4.25 bore.
OH MAN, I reread your last post after I wrote my last post. Sorry I got off on a tangent.If both blocks are in good to great condition to start with and the after assembly CID is within 15cu.in., I'd say go with the small block because it weighs less.
Thanks again!I like the first response. I do have the later of both blocks. The difference is the 400sb will require a rebuild , for that matter so will the 396/402. With the vortec heads in hand and maybe roller rockers added the cost should be about the same as the tear down and rebuild of the 402 with rockers already. Ill have to look in to 402 to see what has been added beside the rockers. cost wise I will have to add new fuel setup for the 400. Which maybe in my best interest for todays fuel options.got any build tips?Ill have to drag the engines in and start a closer look.Thank you again for the advice, saving me lots of soul searching. Now to go search the garage and start the retirement project.Any suggestion on cams? 400 small valve vortec heads, rockers, headers, 3000 lb car occassional towing.
Have the block inspected before boring, the 400s have a history of being thin-walled from the factory. From what I hear/read, sonic testing is on the pricey side but my philosophy is it's better to spend the money upfront and know what you have than to build it and have it disintegrate unexpectedly. Vortec heads are lift-limited in stock form. The spring retainers start hitting the valve seals at about .480 lift, IIRC. Do some research on that to make sure or ask your machinist, he/she should be knowledgable on the subject. Whatever heads you use, make sure they have the steam holes that are unique to the 400sbc. Non-400 heads can be drilled for use on the 400 block. Vortec heads use guided rocker arms. You can get guided roller rockers for use with late model heads. You can use guided rockers or convert to the traditional pushrod guide plates but not both.Vortec heads were designed for use on the 350 and may be on the small side for a 400. They will perform fine at lower rpm but may be breathing-limited for upper rpm use, say above 4500 or so. I've never had/built a 400 and have only used Vortecs on/in stock form.
To get more experienced resopnse to your questions you can also log into the forums at Chevy High Performance. Most of the people there browse here too, but that site is much more active than this one.http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/http://forums.chevyhiperformance.com/
+1 on the CHP Forum too....+1 Scott on the thin walls. The 2 Bolt 400 Blocks were the best. Be carefull on the thrust side if you are not going to be racing it every weekend. Use only .150 as an absolute minimum on the thrust sides. make sure all the steam holes line up with your head gasket. If your using a small block head. Align the gasket and if it doesn't have the steam holes as the head gasket, drill the steam holes in the head. Use the head gasket as a templete. Use a 400 head gasket only...Bob
.. The stock Vortec heads support up to 425-450HP so fine for a SBC 400 for cruising/trailer towing usage... use KB flat top or dished pistons... or some other pistons that don't have a shorter than stock 1970 SBC 400 compression height like most basic 'rebuilder' pistons do ... anywhere from a stock 196/202 to 219/229 duration cam... if going over .450" - .480" valve lifts, Alex's retainer/spring kits work without mods on Vortec heads....http://www.alexsparts.com/valve-spring-kit-sb-chevy-vortec-hi-perf-hyd-roller
to put the 3.25 inch stroke crank in the 305 block,you would need to use the 5.94 inch long [265] LT1 type powdered metal cracked cap con rods.you also must use the 1.43 inch compression hight [334 stroker] after market pistons.vary head gasket thickness as needed.

Miller's career growth came in fits and starts
'Miller never won a Stanley Cup, but he became one of the better goaltenders in the NHL and backstopped the Sabres through some of the best days in franchise history.

Small lot development regulations up for consideration: heated feelings on both sides of the issue
By Gwen Davis
Small lot development: is it efficient at providing people with satisfactory housing, or does it degrade the beauty and enjoyment of the neighborhood?
That depends on who you ask.
Last Friday, April 18, the Seattle City Council held a planning and development meeting, where dozens of people gave testimony for being pro or con the 'One Home Per Lot' effort, which advocates for permanent restrictions on the construction of new, tall houses in small lots.
The committee heard passionate testimony about how squeezing tall buildings into small lots harmed views and spoiled the beauty of the area. Those in favor of the effort said they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford living in their current residence.
Susan Neaton, Seattle resident is against the effort because the regulations wouldn't make the situation any better.
"The City of Seattle can't come up with good design standards for other zones," she said. "What makes you think they could do a decent set of standards for this?"
However, others feel regulations are necessary.
"Small is beautiful," said a downtown Seattle resident who preferred not to be identified. "Can we get some height limits? I find shadowed streets with claustrophobic skyscrapers and McMansions way more offensive than little cottages in someone's backyard."
"Seriously, I just came back from NYC and those sunny streets with big sidewalks were so refreshing," she said.
Residents of the central district are given the short end of the stick, according to some.
"I go and visit a friend in the central district quite often," said Mary Magenta, south Seattle resident. "Her view of the mountain has just now been completely blocked by a big box. Vistas are important to have, especially when you've come to enjoy it so."
The committee will not make a decision until the beginning of May, at the earliest. Several different solutions are being considered.
This issue stems from a loophole that allows developers to buy historic properties and add a second house.
The loophole evoked contention last year when a certain development converted a backyard on Blaine Street into a legal, buildable lot. Frustrated neighbors came together with those in other neighborhoods who also experienced living with tall, crammed houses. They lobbied the council for a moratorium.
Since then, the topic and the council's consideration of regulations have gathered intense scrutiny.
The four council members who are part of the Planning Land Use and Sustainability Committee are Mike O'Brien, Tim Burgess, Nick Licata and Sally Clark.

Retirees, senior citizens anticipate annual holiday program
Elizabeth Forward High School is preparing for its 34th annual Senior Citizen and Retired Persons Holiday Program and Breakfast, to be served on Thursday at 8 a.m. in the high school cafeteria.
"I love this event!" high school assistant principal Mary Carole McCay said. "This event allows our students to talk to the seniors in the community that they might otherwise not know and reconnect with the ones that they met in the previous year."
The complimentary breakfast is for all seniors and retirees in school district communities of Elizabeth, Elizabeth Township and Forward Township. Seniors wanting more information can call the high school office at 412-896-2349.
The National Honor Society and Interact Club will provide greeters, tour guides and food servers. The chorus, band and foreign language departments will provide music.
Art classes are decorating the cafeteria of the school at 1000 Weigles Hill Road in Elizabeth Township.
"The seniors show so much gratitude and kindness toward our students and staff," McCay said. "Our students are fortunate to be a part of a community that cares for all of its members."
The seniors will be greeted by the high school orchestra under the direction of Joseph Scheller.
The event will open with welcomes from high school principal Michael Routh and National Honor Society president Dylan Shaffer, as well as an invocation from Deacon Gerald Grayson of McKeesport's Bethlehem Baptist Church.
After a breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, home fried potatoes, fresh fruit cup, orange juice, coffee, tea and muffins, carols will be offered in several languages under the direction of teachers Toby Nichols, Shawna Boden and Amy Thurston.
Then the program moves to the high school auditorium at approximately 9:30. After greetings from Elizabeth Forward Superintendent Bart Rocco and EF school board vice president Scott McVicker, there will be a variety of performances.
Involved are the Warrior Choir under the direction of Angela Milliren and the EF Winds ensemble directed by Scheller.
In addition, there will be performances by the Eighth Grade Honors Choir from the middle school under the direction of Mark Maurer, and the second-grade class at William Penn Elementary under the direction of music teacher Lisa Spang with support from Kim Jones, Brittany Niedermeyer and Danielle Traeger.
The holiday breakfast committee includes Routh, McCay, assistant high school principal Anthony Pascarella, National Honor Society sponsor Joseph McManus and president Dylan Shaffer, Elaine Podlogar of Nutrition Inc. and Malena Mazurek of the Interact Club.
Financial sponsors include the Central Lions Club of Elizabeth Township, Boston/Greenock/Mt. Vernon Lions Club and Elizabeth Rotary Club, as well as such entities as Alpha Fitness, BRM: Business Records Management, Butlers Golf Course, Carriage Inn, Elizabeth Forward Education Association, district educational support personnel, municipal officials in Elizabeth and Elizabeth Township, Giant Eagle of Elizabeth, Howell Craft, Italian Village Pizza of Elizabeth, Murphy's Pub, On Hand Schools and Virgin Carpets.

SENDAI – Three state-owned candidate sites for the final disposal of radioactive waste have been selected in Miyagi Prefecture, the Environment Ministry said Monday.
The three municipalities involved are the city of Kurihara and the towns of Kami and Taiwa, the ministry said in Sendai.
Facilities to be built on one of the sites will dispose of waste tainted with over 8,000 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive fallout from the March 2011 triple meltdown at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
The meeting was attended by representatives from all municipalities in Miyagi.
The ministry plans to eventually select one site after conducting extensive surveys. But participants from the three municipalities denied involvement in the selection process.
The ministry said the sites were chosen based on their risk of being affected by natural disasters and their distance from water sources.
The ministry excluded municipalities that hosted more than 500,000 tourists a year from 2006 to 2010, in line with criteria set out by Miyagi.
After the meeting, Kami Mayor Hirobumi Inomata said his town cannot cooperate with a plan worked out behind a desk.
Kurihara Mayor Isamu Sato complained that the site chosen in his city had suffered landslides caused by earthquakes.
Taiwa Mayor Hajimu Asao said he wants to know how and why the site in his town was selected.
The government also plans to pick final disposal sites in Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma and Chiba Prefectures.
