Summary: Twittercide: the killing of one human being by another while the victim is in the act of tweeting.
Call me crazy, but I figured writing for the "Herbert Hoover High Homepage" would be a pretty sweet gig. Pad the resume for college applications, get a first look at the gossip column, spend some time ogling the paper's brooding bad-boy editor, Chase Erikson. But on my first big story, things went . . . a little south. What should have been a normal interview with Sydney Sanders turned into me discovering the homecoming queen-hopeful dead in her pool. Electrocuted while Tweeting. Now, in addition to developing a reputation as HHH's resident body finder, I'm stuck trying to prove that Sydney's death wasn't suicide.
I'm starting to long for the days when my biggest worry was whether the cafeteria was serving pizza sticks or Tuesday Tacos. . . .GoodReads
What I Loved: Hartley Featherstone brings a smile to my face every time I think about her! Thankfully in Social Suicide she seems to have gotten smarter in the personal safety area. Hartley is still pretty snarky and I love it! Gemma Halliday carried the tension of Hartley and Chase's non-relationship into Social Suicide.

Overall Social Suicide was a great fun read. I'm hoping Gemma Halliday will continue with the series.
What I Could Have Lived Without: Honestly I can't fault Social Suicide. I thouroughly enjoyed it.

My first day at the minor league fields in Glendale proved to be fruitful. The back fields were still soggy from the previous day's rain, so the Dodgers' A ball teams played in the front of the complex, achingly close to the major league clubhouse.
As I walked down the path toward the minor league complex, I saw one team beginning to stretch. Without my trusty roster sheet handy, I stared vacantly at the nameless jerseys, trying to recognize a familiar face. Lucky for me, one such face appeared. And it was the one I was most hoping to see.
Wearing number 17, a youthful but unshaven pitcher emerged with a glove. His hat was placed high above his brow, a distinctive look that belonged to one specific Dodgers' prospect: Zach Lee.
He began stretching, seated on the grass, touching his toes. He stood up, rotated his body front and back, side to side, waving his arms and rolling his neck. Then he said something unexpected.
"12:28," the 20 year old stated to one of the coaches. The coach, roving minor league pitching instructor and former Dodger Matt Herges, looked at his watch, then back at Lee. "12:31," Herges responded.
Apparently, Zach likes guessing the time before his starts. Maybe it keeps him focused on his routine, maybe he's just pretending to be psychic, but he was never too far off.
Now it's time to long toss. Positioning myself behind the catcher to whom he was throwing, which just so happened to be Chris O'Brien, I realized the potential peril of my decision and moved to the side. But the catcher didn't miss a single throw.
Then Zach headed for the bullpen, in front of a throng of coaches and along side another prospect, to get warm. He guessed the time again, off by a few minutes. Undeterred, he began throwing.
Near the end of the session, he started calling his pitches: "Fastball. Curve. Changeup. Slider." If he wasn't happy with one, he'd throw it again. They all looked good to me.
Finally, the team hit the field, with Lee bounding over the foul line and onto the mound. He took his warmup tosses and was ready to go.
The results didn't really matter to me, as it was just a spring training start. Nevertheless, I peaked at a radar gun. 90, 91. Not bad, but not as hard as he's capable of throwing. And the results were there.
The most impressive part of the outing was his demeanor on the mound. After having a few pitches called balls, even though they were clearly strikes, Zach remained stoic, unfazed and simply went after the next hitter.
That's what makes him such a good prospect. Sure, he's got the stuff, the body, the mechanics. But his best grade is the 80 head he's got on his shoulders.
So what did I think of Lee's debut? What can I tell you about his pitches? What should we expect out of him in 2012? Maybe we should just listen to him instead.

MCLEAN, Va. - A South Dakota Army National Guard intelligence officer received the 2014 Col. Carl F. Eifler Award at the 29th Annual Intelligence Awards Banquet, in McLean, Virginia, Sunday, May 18. First Lt. Bridget A. Flannery, of Flandreau, S.D., received the national award for her leadership and dedication to operations as the 152nd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion's intelligence officer while deployed to Afghanistan.
The award ceremony, held by the National Military Intelligence Association and the National Military Intelligence Foundation, recognizes outstanding achievement of intelligence professionals from DOD components, national intelligence agencies and the Department of Homeland Security.
"First Lt. Flannery displayed outstanding leadership abilities in both preparation and execution during deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom," said Lt. Col. Michael Oster, 152nd CSSB battalion commander. "Her leadership vastly improved the situational awareness of intelligence gathering and presentation both in training and in combat."
The Pierre, South Dakota-based 152nd CSSB returned in December from a five-month deployment where they provided multi-functional combat support and combat service support to forces throughout southern Afghanistan.
"It's humbling," said Flannery, of receiving the award. "I had a great team down-range, both within my own section and across our staff, and they all played a role in the good work we did."
During one mission, Flannery's section analyzed and connected source reports that prevented the use of an improvised explosive device.
"Her dedication resulted in preventing the catastrophic loss of Soldier's lives and equipment," said Oster. "Her stellar performance during the deployment had a direct and profound positive influence on our mission accomplishment and the ability for our units to accomplish their missions with zero casualties."
Flannery, who was born and raised in Montrose, S.D., has served in the SDARNG for more than 17 years, 14 as an enlisted Soldier with the 1742nd Transportation Company. In 2010, she accepted a direct commission and transferred to the 152nd CSSB where she has since served as an intelligence officer.
"It means a lot to me to be recognized by my colleagues, and it's pretty amazing to have been selected from my military intelligence peers for this award," said Flannery. "I love the Guard. I love being the intelligence officer for the 152nd and serving the Soldiers of our battalion. It's one of the biggest blessings of my life – and I live an awfully blessed life."
Flannery lives in Flandreau, with her husband, Sgt. 1st Class Randy Tollefson and their son, Titus, 3.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Construction crews broke ground Tuesday afternoon on the foundation of the Tennessee volleyball program's new practice facility.
The facility is currently in Phase I of construction and is being built adjacent to Regal Soccer Stadium and will feature three courts, a locker room and lounge, equipment room, film study room and coaches' offices. It will have convenient access from Neyland Drive.
In attendance for the groundbreaking were Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart and Lady Vol volleyball Head Coach Rob Patrick, along with support staff and members of the volleyball team.
"It's exciting beyond words because we've been two years in the process," Hart said. "People have been very patient, including Rob (Patrick) and our team. It's very exciting when you finally get to that culmination point where it becomes real."
"The student athlete is why we do what we do. We're a student-athlete centered athletics program. Anytime we can bring a new facility online, which they get excited about and feel good about, it generates excitement and gives us an edge in recruiting. It's a tangible commitment to the student-athletes and to what we're trying to accomplish."
"This is something that has been in the works for a while," Coach Patrick said. "I really appreciate the administration, Mr. Hart and Mr. Gilbert working very hard over a long period of time to get this done."
"It's really for the players. They have a place now to call home. It's a place they can go and really feel like they can own. It's going to make a difference in recruiting and the way we are able to train. I can't thank my assistants enough or the players that came before for the obstacles they've had to overcome and still be able to be successful."
The volleyball practice facility is part of the Campaign for Comprehensive Excellence, which supports the University of Tennessee Athletics Department mission to inspire and support student-athletes in the pursuit of greatness.
The Campaign for Comprehensive Excellence aims to return Tennessee to the top of the nation's elite programs while positively impacting key areas of the student-athlete experience. The campaign began on July 1, 2013, and will continue until June 30, 2016. During this time, UT Athletics Department has set a goal to raise $154.2 million in annual, capital, endowment and planned gift commitments through the leadership and generosity of its donors. Members of the campaign will play a key role in enhancing the lives of Tennessee student-athletes while investing in the vision that Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart has challenged student-athletes, coaches and administrators to achieve since arriving at UT in 2011.
"It's very imperative that we were able to get this project off the ground because it was a project that we've been discussing for the past two years," Hart said. "Our fans have been absolutely unbelievable in the way they have responded to our Campaign for Comprehensive Excellence and they've made this facility possible through their generosity and their contributions. I applaud our donors and our fan base, both of whom are helping us fulfill our commitment to our student-athletes."
"All of the facilities that the administration is building are top notch," Patrick said. "Student-athletes can come to Tennessee and reach all of their athletic goals here."
The estimated cost of the facility is $3 million and is expected to be completed for the 2014 season. The contractor working on the project is Rouse Construction and the architectural firm is Studio Four Design.

By Suzanne Leonard, published on November 1, 1995 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016
The next time you or your spouse is asked to tell the story of your romance, try to listen as well. Lurking in the narrative are important clues to how the relationship is faring and how it will weather the future.
Was it love at first sight for you and your spouse? Maybe you bumped into him in the produce aisle and had a great conversation about grapefruits. Did you meet her at a party and like the way she didn't get mad even after you spilled that drink on her? Or maybe you thought the whole thing would never last.
Married couples are often asked to describe that first encounter or candlelight dinner. Most of the time we tell the story without much ado, yet imbedded in those narratives may be more than a simple saga of romance. Our stories also contain important clues to what's right or wrong with our marriages. No matter the details of our courtship, how we relate them not only indicates how the relationship is currently faring, it can also be an amazingly accurate indicator of what's to come.
These stories have such powerful abilities to predict the future because they communicate something more important than what happened in the past; they also reveal how we feel about these events in the present. Spouses in a marriage that's now unhappy begin recasting their past times together in a negative light, reports psychologist John Gottman, Ph.D.
He told the American Psychological Society meeting in 1995 that after listening to the oral histories of 52 couples, he could predict with 94 percent accuracy which couples were bound for splitsville and which were in it for the long haul.
Once there is a decline in the quality of the marital relationship, it sets off a downward cascade that is hard to reverse without active effort. Partners may remain unhappily married for a considerable period of time before starting to consider splitting up. Eventually, loneliness sets in and spouses begin to lead parallel lives. As they do, they may become susceptible to the attention of others.
It's not clear exactly when, but at some point in the downward cascade a "perceptual flip" occurs. Disappointments in the relationship now become easier to recall than the thrills. Fond memories of a luxurious honeymoon in Hawaii may be replaced by recollections of how late he actually was for that first date.
Whether the recasting of history is a sudden or gradual process, the turning point is always marked by the emergence of contempt. When couples view each other as having lasting qualities that they loathe, it's mighty hard to turn back the tide.
In a stable marriage, "partners talk about their relationship in a very positive way," notes Gottman, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington. "They remember a lot about how they met and about various periods in their marriage. They finish each other's sentences. There is a lot of emphasis on consensus and joint decision-making. And there's a great deal of spontaneous expressions of fondness for one another."
There's more, too. Gottman pinpoints seven features of how-we-met stories that can provide crucial cues to the current state of a relationship. So the next time you and your honey find yourselves painting the picture of your lives together, here's a few things you need to pay attention to:
Marital Disappointment and Disillusionment
In the telling of a marital narrative, a husband's disillusionment is the single best predictor of impending breakup. So it's a good idea for women to listen to what men have to say. Unhappy males let it be known that their current marriage is not what they bargained for. One disclosed, "I wish we had waited longer before getting married because no one told me how hard it would be. It was an emotional decision and not very rational."
Happy couples frequently mention qualities they admire in their spouses. If your husband compliments your spunkiness or your wife mentions how proud she was when you got your law degree, you're in good shape.
Fondness colors the words that we use. When asked about his wedding day; one husband commented, "It was super. Midge has never been so pretty as she was when she walked down the aisle in her white dress."
Those with a positive view of their relationship also tend to minimize the bad times and emphasize the good. They remember the fun stuff, not the fights. "On our second anniversary we went up to the island. He spoiled me silly. All those walks to the pier were quiet and romantic," one woman said.
Couples whose relationship is souring not only have a harder time recalling shared moments, their narratives are vague and unenthusiastic. It's these spouses who don't remember their wedding song and can't recollect their first Christmas together. "The happy times are really small since we never have any money or time for each other," one woman stated. "A few times with the kids or as a family and that's about it."
When criticism enters a narrative, it's a bad omen. One particularly dissatisfied wife declared of her mate, "He hasn't changed a bit. He still expects me to do all the laundry and the cooking."
Since the negativity is retrospective, couples destined for a breakup may even argue over how they got together. One woman claimed that her husband came up behind her and scared her at a bar, while he insisted she wasn't scared; he merely wanted to ask her to go for coffee.
"I thought he was someone else when he called and asked me out," another wife remarked. "I don't know why I was attracted to him."
Expansiveness Versus Withdrawal
Talking about their marriage seems like fun to most couples, but it's not very appealing for those in unstable relationships. Reticence about the relationship, then, is another bad sign. While spouses in a successful partnership are eager to tell their stories, those who will eventually split make comments like, "I keep things to myself. That's the way I've always been and the way I always will be."
Besides being upbeat and relaxed, happy spouses also reiterate their partner's sentiments. When one husband commented that he and his wife took their time getting to know one another and building the relationship, she agreed: "Yeah, it was good quality time. Even now it's good quality time. Being cautious really paid off for us."
We-ness or Separateness
Although contented couples are not necessarily joined at the hip, seeing yourselves as a unit is not a bad idea either. Lasting couples use terms like "we" and "us" in their stories and describe their goals and decisions as collective. One troubled couple never once mentioned the word "we," remarked Gottman. "The only time they ever referred to any plurality was when they talked about their children, they said 'our children.' It was very striking how little they were together."
In these marriages, spouses may actually keep a partner from making statements that imply togetherness. If one says, "That was a very difficult period for us," the other might reply, "Why don't you speak for yourself? I enjoyed that time in our lives. I know you were unhappy, but I was very happy."
Couples who are closely joined emphasize that they wanted to be together and still do. "We stood up together to ignore our families and do what we thought was right," said one. "It didn't matter what the Bible said, this was love."
Partners in troubled relationships can't hide the chaos; they tell stories that are full of unexpected problems and hardships. "Life has been rough these last couple of years. I've spent all my energy trying to keep food on the table."
These couples speak of unemployment and unwanted pregnancies, disapproval from their families, and worries about money. They may say they married for reasons they can't readily explain. When asked why he'd settled down, one man replied, "I grew up believing I'd have to marry someone."
Glorifying the Struggle
It's not just what happens to us that informs our stories, it's how we look at those events. Contented couples often have had the same experiences as couples in chaos, but rather than wallow in their sufferings, they glorify the hard times--reflecting their belief that the benefits of marriage still outrank the struggles. "It's the hardest job you'll ever have, but it's worth it," said one man.
As another woman recalled, "We've had intense experiences these last few years, not knowing if my husband had a job and losing some friends. We came through it. It was hard, but we made it together." When listening to your own history, therefore, keep alert for sounds of optimism. It may make all the difference.
We all walk around with the stories of our relationship in our heads. These narratives constantly evolve based on our current emotions. In doing so, they affect both how we feel today and how we'll treat our spouse tomorrow. They can indicate which of us are filled with regrets and which are looking towards the future with high hopes.
So go ahead. Describe that chance encounter or friendship-turned-romance that led to your nuptials. But this time, don't just tell your story. Listen to it, too.

Matching family tree profiles for Silas Mercer Parker, Sr.
Immediate Family
About Silas Mercer Parker, Sr.
On May 19, 1836, a large party of Native Americans, including Comanches, Kiowas, Caddos, and Wichitas, attacked the inhabitants of Fort Parker. In her memoir, Rachel Plummer wrote that "one minute the fields (in front of the fort) were clear, and the next moment, more indians than I dreamed possible were in front of the fort."
One of the Indians approached the fort with a white flag. No one believed the flag was genuine. Silas Parker wanted the five men present to man the walls and fight as best they could. Benjamin Parker felt that by going out he could buy time for the majority of the women and children to flee out the back (small) gate. He felt that there was simply no way that five men would be able to hold the Indians out more than a second or two, as they could use ropes to scale the walls. He felt that the war party would then kill everyone in the fort, and the unsuspecting men in the fields. He argued with Silas that they had to barter their lives for time for everyone else. Their father agreed with Benjamin.
Benjamin knew he was going to be killed. According to Rachel Plummer's account, Benjamin returned to the fort, after his first talk with the war party, and told his brother and father that he believed they would all be killed, and that they should run swiftly to the woods. Silas again argued with him, telling him they should push the big gate shut, and man the walls. Ben pointed out, rightly, Rachel said, that there was no time, and their "course was decided." He told her, "run little Rachel, for your life and your unborn child, run now and fast!" She said he then straightened up and went back outside. She recounted how Silas told her to watch the front gate, after Benjamin had gone out to talk to the Indians the second time, when she herself wanted to flee, while he ran for his musket and powder pouch. "They will kill Benjamin," she reported her Uncle Silas saying, "and then me, but I will do for at least one of them, by God." At that moment, she said she heard whooping outside the fort, and then Indians were inside.
The 3–5 minutes bought enough time that the majority of the women and children did get away. Rachel Plummer, who was pregnant, was afraid she would not be able to keep up while carrying her two year old son, and so she stayed in the fort. She began running after seeing the Indians come into the fort, holding her little boy's hand, while behind her she said she saw Indians stabbing Benjamin with their lances, and then she heard "Uncle Silas shout defiance as though he had a thousand men with him. Alas, he was alone, and soon dead." Lucy Parker, who also had a small child, stopped to argue with her husband Silas, begging him to come with her. Elizabeth Duty Kellogg stopped to gather up their savings, $100 in coins, before she attempted to escape.
Benjamin Parker was killed, and before the fort's gates could be closed, the raiders rushed inside. Silas Parker, who was outside with his brother, was killed before he was able to get back inside the gate. Samuel Frost and his son Robert were killed inside the gate, as they attempted to flee. John Parker's genitals were cut off and he was then scalped. His wife came out of the woods when she saw his torture and was captured. Lucy Parker and her youngest two children were captured but were rescued by Luther Plummer as he ran up to the fort from the fields. But his wife, his son, and their cousins were all lost.
In all, five men were killed, some were left for dead, two women and three children were captured, and the rest escaped into the wilderness.
Although Silas was killed, his wife and two youngest children, Silas Jr. and Orlena, were saved. His two oldest children, Cynthia Ann and John were taken captive by the Indians.
Birth: May 5, 1804 Bedford County Tennessee, USA Death: May 19, 1836 Limestone County Texas, USA
Founder of Fort Parker. Served as a Sgt. during the Black Hawk War under Capt. Thomas B. Ross. After his release, he moved his family to TX, where they lived in several colonies before finally settling on a league of land that was granted to him in April 1835. This land was situated about 3 miles north of the site where the present town of Groesbeck is located in Limestone County. During the spring of 1835, he and his brother, James, built a fort on this land, which later became known as Fort Parker. On January 1, 1836, a daughter was born to Silas and Lucinda, who they named Orlena, and she was born at the Fort. In early May of 1836, General Sam Houston ordered the evacuation of Fort Parker, but Silas, believing the fort to be safe, refused to leave. About the 17th of May, scouts learned from friendly indians that an attack on the fort was scheduled for dawn on May 19th. This information was passed on to the settlers at the Fort but Silas stood firm. His family was not going to run. There were bitter arguments that threatened to erupt into violence and most of the settlers decided to leave. They left but Parker and his kinsmen remained. Early on the morning of May 19, 1836, the Fort was indeed attacked and Silas was killed. His wife and two youngest children, Silas, Jr. and Orlena were saved, but the two oldest children, Cynthia Ann and John were taken captive by the indians. (bio by: Helen L. Smith Hoke)

FI should be good at Monza like Williams likely will be. Force India will be happy knowing both Perez and Hulkenberg are good at Monza and Hulk is good at Spa too. Could see a renaissance from these guys at the next 2 races imo. Reply Report abuse 4 agree 1 disagree

text: I am a recent user of the HDUI, so forgive this question- is that a new behavior? Audio dropouts while switching from the TiVo menus to live (or the other way around) wouldn't seem all that unusual to me (since it is such a major change). HOWEVER, when going in and out of the new HDUI guide, there is no audio interruption, and it is pretty fast too. But I cannot confirm your observation about audio dropping out when moving from one HD HDUI screen to another HD HDUI screen/menu. I tried everything I could, and never had any audio dropouts. Does anyone else have any audio dropouts at the exact time of changing from from HD HDUI screen to another?

GM's Reuss was considered for CEO job in 2010, Whitacre says
Automotive News
January 23, 2013
General Motors Co.'s North American president, Mark Reuss, was considered for the top job at the automaker in 2010 before his lack of seasoning led the board to the current CEO, Dan Akerson, according to an excerpt from a forthcoming book by former CEO Ed Whitacre.
As GM, which restructured in bankruptcy with the help of a $49.5 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout, moved toward its fall 2010 initial public offering, Whitacre told the board he would not continue as CEO. His idea for his replacement was Reuss, according to the excerpt published today by Fortune magazine.
"Mark had zoomed up the executive chain in record time; he went from midlevel engineer to the No. 2 person in the company in the space of a year, more or less," Whitacre said of Reuss. "The plus was that Mark was showing a lot of poise and management potential. The downside was that he hadn't been in the job long enough to prove himself as a CEO."
Reuss, 49, is perceived by some Wall Street analysts and GM insiders as a potential heir apparent to Akerson. Other possible successors are Vice Chairman Steve Girsky, Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann and global product development chief Mary Barra.

Rush-Henrietta 39, Webster Schroeder 28
Webster Schroeder gave Rush-Henrietta a tough challenge, but after trailing for most of the game, the Royal Comets got enough to pull out a 39-28 win. Senior running back Chancellor Harris totalled 13 carries for 101 yards and four touchdowns.
Webster Schroeder seemed poised for an upset after taking a 14-6 lead into halftime. In the second minute of the second half, Jake Guy hit Mike Joiner on a screen pass that turned into a 76 yard touchdown and a 21-6 lead for the Warriors. The Royal Comets wouldn't waste any time wollowing on their defecit thanks to Bay Barley returning the kickoff for a touchdown, pulling the Comets to within nine points.
Rush-Henrietta picked up a score from Harris that closed the gap to 21-19. In the closing moments of the third quarter, R-H quarterback Chauncey Scissum connected with Chase Weitchman on a six yard touchdown to give the Comets their first lead of the night, 25-21.
Webster Schroeder put themselves back in front on the opening play of the fourth quarter after Guy took it in from 14 yards out. After that, Chancellor Harris took over, picking up two more touchdowns to give Rush-Henrietta the lead for good.
With the win, Rush-Henrietta moves to 3-0 this season, while Webster Schroeders fall to 1-2.

The Brothers Balliett
Summer Symphony Series #3
Audio not yet available
The Brothers Balliett Summer Symphony Series is in full swing as we enter the glorious, glowing month of August. The days are turning less languid and more mellow—think of breezy evenings and pink sunsets over a hill.
What better soundtrack for such a pleasant scene than a beautiful but packed-with-action symphony by the German semi-Romantic iconoclast Hans Werner Henze? Henze took inspiration from a wide variety of sources for his symphonies, including the magisterial and effervescent play A Midsummer's Night Dream.
Rounding out the program is a chamber work by Milton Babbitt—the sometimes jagged, sometimes ethereal Partitions.
Gather round a porch or perhaps even a bonfire for these tunes. You won't regret it.

Shawnee - Thanks for answering our questions. Mom thinks Lippe's outfit is kewl and your Mom is very talented with the needle and thread. We have to tell you she's gone a little cracker dog over the Lippe Aventure thing and keeps asking us what Lippe's up to now. We think she doesn't understand that Lippe is a stuffie, either. She's hoping there will be a Lippe book with all his adventures. Dad's a little concerned and he's been hiding all the Kool-Aid.

Teaching Goliath To Be A Good Citizen
We have two male, neutered, GSDs. Kofy is a year and a half and Goliath (aka Goli) is 1 year. They are brothers, from separate litters, born in Guatemala. Goliath we rescued when he was four months old from the parking lot owners on our block who would tie him to a tree and leave him there all night. We spoke to the owners and volunteered to take care of him at nights until they figured out a better situation for Goli. It never happend, so we convinced them to let us adopt him. So he didn't become part of the family until he was 7 months old. During the days Goliath would spend in the parking lot with no real owner or anyone to set guidelines for him. Kofy has been with us since he was three months old and straight out of the litter – he's been part of the family since day one. Kofy listens and never strays too far from either one of us. He only barks when a dog takes his ball or comes near one of us.
The main problem we're having is with Goliath. Goli barks at everything and uses barking as his main form of communication. He barks at Kofy when we throw the ball and Kofy, being the dominant one, runs for it, gets it and brings it back. Any kind of game where the two are involved, Goli will bark. Goli barks at other dogs, especially when those dogs get near Kofy and Kofy doesn't give Goli attention. He especially barks a bigger dogs or dogs that get near Kofy or one of his owners. The barks are not play barks, they tend to be aggressive or anxiety, fear-driven. The only dogs Goli doesn't bark at are small dogs.
When Goli barks aggressively or uncontrollably we usually get in front of him and say "Ahhh!" or "Leave It" and/or try to distract him by throwing the ball or walking away from what he perceives as a potential threat. It sometimes works, but it doesn't feel consistent enough.
Both dogs get about 1 - 1.5 hours of exercise a day. One of us is always around during the day (home office hours) to feed them regularly, play with them during the day and do at least two long walks and/or ball throwing sessions and some games and tug of war with rope. They sleep inside the house, in their own crates and we both give them lots of love and attention and park time.
I don't get what we need to do with Goli to get him to understand that barking and aggression is unacceptable in certain contexts and that he needs to obey us when we tell him to stop.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

text: Ok I just got home from a night of cruising with some friends. First I raced an S2000 from a dig. (Im guessing stock or close to) No launch and I killed it. Raced twice same results. Guy wouldnt even look at me. Then I raced a modded SRT-4 from a roll. (not by choice) 3 races we stayed pretty much dead even. The second race I hit the rev limiter he pulled slightly ahead and third I inched up a little. Keep in mind he was modded. Again not sure what he had in it but I know he had exhaust and a bov. all 3 races with the SRT were from about 40-60 to about 100. I know very unsafe but I wanted so badly to beat him. How do you think I did?

need mathematica's help for exploring a certain type of mapping
Dear Users,
I need to use mathematica's graphics to explore a certain
kind of problem.The following theorem is not yet proven nor disproven and
mathematica might proof useful in disproving it though.
Hypothesis:If a mapping from R^2->R^3 is unit distance preserving then it
must be an isometry.
The real issue at hand is for mathematica to generate a mapping that
preserves unit distance but is not an isometry so in the process disproving
the theorem.
The real problem is that R^2 consists of infinite points and it might
not be possible to check all of them.What i suggest is that you apply the
unit preserving maps to special type of figures in R^2 like the circumfrence
of the circle,square,isoceles triangle etc.
Any ideas are welcome.Thanks in advance.

Do you have a power managment issue on this system I am runnign 148b on a X9SCA and have a slow growing CPU usage across time on this system it appears to be related to settings in the /etc/power.conf file I am using the following – but it doesn't totaly solve my issues.
cpupm enable poll-mode
After a few days the system uses 12.5% (one hyperthreded core ?) of my CPU.
Thanks in advance
Still trying to solve a creeping CPU kernel issue ( I don't have a power consumption issue ) what I have is a slow growth in kernel CPU use in an idle systems that eventually will freeze a system in a few weeks (or cause a dtrace run of say 'hotkernel' to freeze the system even earlier in about 20-30 hours).
The odd thing is I have the same MOBO X9SCA-F as you I have a E31270 CPU. I keep banging on the issue 148b, 151, 151a and even some new dev bits for acpica but I can not solve it. – Refer to illumos bug #1333
I am currious could you post the following (or E-mail it ot me)

"I am born in the year of the rabbit and loved the whimsical bunny designed on this label. It has simple lines and almost cartoonish in appearance. Love it."
"Love these graduation address labels for my daughter's graduation. They added the extra special touch I was looking for !!!"
"These are great address tags. I wanted to have some nice ones for thank you cards and letters. They are bit large for small cards, but worth it for the top design."
"I order the address lables as a gift for my grandmother and she absolutely loved them! The lables are nice and large, and the lines of the flowers were so vivid. The design of the flowers coming from the top of the lable was a nice modern touch."
"These are the best address labels I have purchased! They are cute and charming, and they fit in with our family. My husband agreed how sweet they were, and he felt my choice was great. Thank you for such a wonderful product!"

Fay Weldon paints bleak picture of future in novel
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - Author Fay Weldon sets her latest novel only four years in the future, but by then Britain's currency has collapsed, inflation has soared and the bailiffs are knocking on the door of London's middle class.
"Chalcot Crescent" is a bleak vision of what might happen if hopes of a global economic recovery turn out to be false.
The story opens with Frances, an 80-year-old writer and "one-time national treasure," cowering in her home as the debt collectors pound on her front door.
The fact that the book is named after a street in London's upmarket Primrose Hill, home to the rich and famous, underlines Weldon's belief that no one is likely to be spared.
"It seems to me a perfectly possible outcome within four years," said Weldon, a leading British author most commonly associated with the feminist movement.
"Unless we are very, very lucky, there will be a double dip, there will be inflation, there will be a collapse of the currency so you go back to bartering between nations," the 77-year-old told Reuters in an interview.
Even what she calls the "barrister classes" are already feeling the pinch in the real world.
"I think everybody has felt it and everybody is now in the recovery which is the false hope. Of course, I hope it's not the case, but for the sake of the writer you kind of want it to come true, I'm afraid." Continued...

Don't you just love boots?
This exuberant celebration of polka-dot rain boots lets readers "dress" a cheerful romp of children so that everyone gets to wear their favorite footwear with every outfit, in every activity.
Get your polka-dot boots on!
About the Author
ELLEN OLSON-BROWN has always loved children, words, silliness, and fun footwear. As a preschool and kindergarten teacher, she loved seeing her students skip and splash in colorful rainboots no matter what the weather. Ellen's twin sons loved their own yellow rubber ducky boots so much that they even slept in them at night! Ellen is the author of "Ten Stinky Babies, Hush Little Digger, " and "Bake You a Pie, " all Tricycle Press titles. She parks her own blue- and red-flowered rainboots by her front door in Groton, Massachusetts.
CHRISTIANE ENGEL has illustrated many children's books. About this book she said, "I was really inspired by the fun text, so I created different kid characters for each page--some who like it neat and some who prefer to be muddy, kids with a strong spirit of independence, and kids with a unique or quirky sense of dressing and choosing their accessories." Christiane lives in London.
Praise For…
Review, Booklist:
"From the astronaut with a silver hat to the princess with a gold tiara, the characters in this small, interactive picture book celebrate clothes and costumes. Young children, especially those who become passionately attached to favorite outfits, will enjoy the bright, active, acrylic paintings that show a cast of diverse kids in snazzy ensembles of all kinds."

UPDATE 1-France calls emergency G20 grains meeting for mid-Oct
* France says calls rapid response forum for Oct. 16
* Farm ministers to discuss market volatility
* FAO's da Silva backs French strategic stocks plan
* French initiatives follow drought-fuelled record prices
By Gus Trompiz and Julien Ponthus
PARIS, Sept 17 (Reuters) - France has called an emergency meeting of G20 farm ministers for mid-October to discuss curbing price swings on grain markets, the French president's office said, after a year of drought and record prices renewed fears of a crisis in food supplies.
France currently presides over a grains body created last year under the Group of 20 major economies and it has made several proposals in recent days, including the development of strategic stocks and a halt in the expansion of biofuels that use food crops.
Paris said in a statement it was calling a meeting of a Rapid Response Forum under the G20 agriculture body, AMIS, on the United Nations World Food Day which is held on Oct. 16.
It issued the statement after talks between French President Francois Hollande and Jose Graziano da Silva, Director-General of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Continued...

The NDP's Monique Taylor says she's humbled to have been re-elected.

"I'm honoured that the people have put their trust in me and they believe in me to deliver for them," said the Hamilton Mountain MPP.

Taylor said she wants rising hydro rates addressed when the legislature resumes, noting it was the number 1 issue she heard about while campaigning.

This term, she and the other members of the opposition will face a Liberal majority government.

"We will do the hard work to make sure we have the people's voice and the people's concerns first," said Taylor.

Taylor beat out incumbent MPP and Liberal cabinet minister Sophia Aggelonitis in the October 2011 provincial election. A political newbie, Taylor took about 45 per cent of the votes cast in the riding of Hamilton Mountain in her first outing.

In 2011, Taylor received 20,492 (45 per cent) of the 45,581 votes cast in Hamilton Mountain. Voter turnout was a little over 50 per cent. Aggelonitis's name was marked on 14,694 ballots (32 per cent), while Geordie Elms of the Progressive Conservatives received 8,641 votes (19 per cent).

This time out, with all but a few polls reported, Taylor had increased her share of votes to more than 47 per cent, while Javid Mirza, the Liberal candidate, had under 30% and Albert Marshall of the Progressive Conservatives had about 18 per cent.

Mirza said although NDP has won two election in a row, the Liberals can win the riding again.

"Absolutely," he said. "Kathleen (Wynne, premier) is going to govern really good. I have a lot of faith in her, she's a fantastic person … people will see how honest and credible she is.

"The NDP had no plan. The Conservatives had no plan. They just kept talking about the scandals, the scandals."

Mirza scolded Hamilton voters in general for their support of the NDP.

"Thank God we still have Ted (McMeekin, re-elected MPP for Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale) … We just shot ourselves in the foot again. As a city, I don't understand. We have a huge infrastructure plan coming up , there's so much going on, but once again we have no representation for Hamilton Mountain."

Marshall, a political newcomer, said, "The people have spoken. We'll continue to fight for Hamilton, we're not going to go away.

"Hamilton is hurting and let's just hope this new government takes care of Hamilton."

Outside Sydney Opera House, January 21
The Stalker Theatre Company production of Incognita presents its audience with an iconic view of Australia's outback extremes. It is easy to see the influence of Drysdale's landscapes, a series of Tracey Moffatt photographs and Wake in Fright, the book and the film.
This is the stark side of Australia: a country in drought and on fire, people who just manage to survive each other's company on a grim diet of aggressive confrontation and lust. There are fearsome isolation and very little hope, though a few smiles break through.
On a red desert floor, Andrew Carter's set of windmill, tank and dilapidated two-level corrugated iron dwelling has a fringe of dead trees with "branches" that can be angled to suit acrobatic points in the performance.
A small, battered garden gate is a poignant reminder of the white settlers' battles with hostile elements beyond the homestead fence. At the world premiere on Tuesday, the visual iconography went further.
The Sydney Festival performances are high above the Sydney Opera House forecourt on the clifftop, with real green trees and city lights setting the content of the piece into relief.
Incognita's exploration of Australian issues such as displacement, location, isolation and occupation as they apply to non-indigenous people, leads to a broader look at the Australian population, history and future. What you experience in words, music and movement is only the starting point for many questions.
The performing style of brief encounters between characters and solo movement sequences gives a clear illustration of the themes. Choreography devised by co-directors Rachel Swain and Koen Augustijnen with the performers is jagged, raw and disturbing for its sense of agonised self-searching.
Mirabelle Wouters, Scott Grayland, Katia Molino, Dalisa Pigram and Lee Wilson are strong, energetic and incisive. The vigour and earthiness of their characterisations give as much a sense of the outback as the designs.
In a piece where weather plays a major role - verbally with the help of historian Paul Carter, and visually with assistance from Geoff Cobham's scene-changing lighting designs - it was ironic that nature intervened.
Just as I was wondering if Incognita was going to move on from what was becoming a slight disappointment for its repetitious formula at the same dynamic level, lightning and a heavy shower of rain stopped the performance.
We were 45 minutes in and there were about 30 minutes to go. I am assured (by a publicist who didn't know my growing reservations) that it was all about to change gear and develop in quite different ways.
I will have to take her word for it. And I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from finding out for themselves.
Until February 1

<~~ is confused because the description says the shirt is kelly green, but the picture has a black background on my computer...
Clearly he's talking about the time when he was a vampire hunter.
The name should have been "Four S'mores and Seven Beers Ago."
My favorite part of this design is the contrast of the chocolate bar to the rest of the shirt.

Congratulations, Tribune, for excellent coverage of the fall from grace of KSL-TV's news operation ("Utah TV viewers continue to abandon KSL Ch. 5," Tribune, March 3). As long-time viewers, my wife and I now watch only on weekends, when the anchors deliver the news without all the phony posturing.
Things started going south when Mark Willes of Deseret Management Corp. mandated that KSL's news specialists rewrite their stories for use in his emasculated Deseret News. Forcing TV reporters to rewrite for print media is a poor attempt to produce news on the cheap. That's one reason news anchor Bruce Lindsay left.
Then came two male anchors who try hard to be clever but lack substance. One would think that KSL would be more attuned to gender equality. The two strutting males overwhelm the newscast.
Then there is the irony of falling ratings in spite of the elaborate, expensive new set. That gaping hole distances us from the newscasters and is distracting rather than welcoming. Instead of concentrating on the news, we are constantly wondering when someone is going to slip on that shiny, slick, multi-level floor.
Thanks for helping us realize we are not alone in our defection.
Paul C. Richards

>> I thought you might enjoy this photo, taken in Paxico over the weekend by two young boys who were out raccoon hunting. I spent a lot of time in the wilderness in Washington state and California and only had two live sightings, so this is pretty special. The cat was treed by two hunting dogs and they were able to capture this still shot and some video. It's territory would easily include St. Marys (about 10 minutes away).
Totally off car topic, but thought worthy of posting for all to see. My son lives in Kansas, and this was in Paxico.

4321 W. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89103
Location: Off-Strip
Type: Ultimate Pools
Called Palms Pool & Dayclub, the two-acre pool complex at Palms Casino Resort is sure to amaze. Able to accommodate up to 3,000 people, it's broken down into three different areas.
The first pool is ringed by six woven-metal, cylindrical cabanas with sophisticated custom interiors.
An ankle-deep wading area gives way to a second pool. To the right are several two-story bungalows -- each with their own pool, double-sided fireplace, lawn and bedroom. To the left are round, canvas cabanas flanking a concert stage. Canvas-topped teepees with astroturf occupy a terrace above three stone cabanas, with a waterfall flowing from the second floor to shield a bar.
In the space between the first two pools, a triangular glass bar and six blackjack tables are set beneath the tiny glass-bottomed third pool, with two more waterfalls feeding the wading areas.
Adding to the ambience are three incredible bars:
Palms Pool & Dayclub also boasts 27 cabanas, each with a 32-inch LCD TV, speakers with individual volume control, a house phone, a lighted fan, a refrigerator, a safe and contemporary furniture.
Besides being a great place to drink and sunbathe, Palms Pool & Dayclub hosts numerous events. Guests can play hooky from real life at the weekly Ditch Fridays party. Palms Pool also has live DJs and special concerts featuring world-renowned musicians throughout its season.
Back Room Burger, which boasts inventive specialty hamburgers and homemade custom shakes, has a patio that opens onto the pool area. And this summer, Palms Pool & Dayclub has launched a pop-up shopping experience where guests can purchase a variety of swimsuits as well as coverups, jewelry, hats and totes every Friday and Saturday afternoon.

- Malaika
Nov 04, 2009 - Apparently Malaika is a hit or miss. I took recommendations from this site and went to her, but I will not be going back. She did ask me what I wanted, but she took only 20 minutes to do the cut, and it was terrible,nothing like what I had described, and she told me it was because of how my hair is, that there was nothing she could do about it. I came out looking like Bozo the Clown, my mom told me. I got the worst haircut I've ever had. I'm not usually one to go try to rectify bad cuts, as my hair grows quickly, but this was embarrassing. Emily did a little work to fix the mistake and she was very nice and seemed to know what she was doing despite the problems being almost impossible to fix.

* Prices may differ from that shown
This plasma earned a 10 in image quality and outperforms every other TV we've ever reviewed, with the exception of legendary Pioneer Kuro (the VT60 basically tied it) and of course Big Zed below. It beats the ST60 in every way including daytime viewing, although if your living room is particularly bright, the ZT60 is an even better choice. In the dark the two are equal in every important way, however -- and when you throw in its superior sound quality and features, the VT is the better value, too.
Now let me talk a bit about the other Plasma TVs on the market; Did we mention value before? OK, well, compared with OLED or 4K TVs, the ZT60 isn't a bad value at all. It's still crazy-expensive, however, and only high-end shoppers with a burning desire to own the best image quality we've ever tested need apply. It beats the VT60 in only one area, bright rooms, but on the other hand isn't quite as good in those situations as the ultrabright Samsung PNF8500, or any of the brighter LED-based LCDs. The ZT60 trounces the F8500 and any LED LCD in the friendly confines of a dark room, however, giving it an overall edge that deserves the "reference" hype.
Read the full review of the Panasonic TC-PZT60 series. Until the TX-P4 came along, I've never given a 3-star review to a TV. It's just that good. The picture quality will please even the most persnickety videophile, although those who can afford better might be even happier with a VT or ZT below.

The black M900L Vertical Foregrip LED WeaponLight from SureFire is a tactical accessory combining a single-output LED weapon light with a foregrip for rifles and submachine gun forend rails. This weapon light is designed to deliver a tactical advantage by combining the operator's weapon and illuminator into a fully-integrated user-friendly system. A TIR collimating lens focuses the 500-lumen output into a narrow beam that also delivers adequate peripheral illumination for close and mid-range engagements.
The M900L WeaponLight mounts to Picatinny and Weaver rails using SureFire's Swing-Lever clamp, which is engineered to prevent loosening due to vibration and recoil. The foregrip is constructed from Nitrolon polymer and machined aerospace aluminum with anodized hard coat. The entire system is o-ring and gasket sealed, delivering the weatherproof performance needed for a wide range of combat conditions.
Pressure-sensitive pads on either side of the WeaponLight's vertical grip provide ambidextrous activation capability of the main LED illuminator. Also located on the vertical grip is a pressure pad thumb switch for activating the two low-output LED navigation lights. To prevent accidental activation of the main light and navigation lights, a rotary switch at the bottom of the vertical grip will disable the WeaponLight.

Chicago, which came into action this week with a half-game lead on the Vikings, head into Carolina to play the reeling Panthers, who, at 1-5, have been accused of having players checking out mentally. If Cam Newton seemed depressed at his post-game press conference last week, what will happen if the Bears defense plays like it has in its first six games – allowing just 78 points, with only 71 of those points attributable to the Bears defense. With Carolina on the verge of falling off the map and potentially trading running back DeAngelo Williams to anyone willing to take on his contract, the chances of the Bears improving to 6-1 and opening a 1½-game lead over the Vikings seems almost inevitable.
Up in Green Bay at noon, the Jacksonville Jaguars come to town. The double dose of bad news for Vikings is based on two basic offensive injury-related matters. First, Maurice Jones-Drew won't play. Second, Blaine Gabbert will. The Packers could win this by 20-plus and in the process would tie the Vikings at 5-3 with identical records in the division and the conference. All early advantages the Vikings had over the Packers would be erased and the second half of the season will start at the same footing the start of the regular season had when everyone was 0-0.
The Vikings' opponent next week, the Seattle Seahawks, heads into Detroit, where the 2-4 Lions are coming off their bye week with bad intentions. Drop this game at home and the Lions' season may be over before it's even halfway through. If there is such a thing as a must-win in October, this would be it for the Lions. They play their next two games on the road – at Jacksonville and the Vikings – in a scheduling anomaly that has crippled Detroit. By the time they will have played nine games, six of them were on the road. If they can come out of this next three-game stretch at 4-5, they will do so with five of their final seven games at home and still able to have some control over their own destiny. A loss to Seattle would be a crippling blow, but if Detroit takes care of its business at home, they will be at 3-4 by mid-afternoon.
At a time when the Vikings had a chance to prove a point to the entire league with a win Thursday that would have improved them to 6-2 on the season, as bad as Thursday was, today might by pulling off the scab too early. Advantages the Vikings had in terms of conference record could be all but eliminated.
