Getting Ares to reconize her name
hey there, i was wondering are there any tips to get my pup to reconize her name, everytime i talk to her i call her ares all the time, when i praise her for doing something almost all the time,but when she is playing and i want her to chill out or just pay attention to me she dont even lift an ear, i dont think she even knows her name, so im wondering are there any tips to help with this?
I thought the pup was 5 weeks of age?
Repeat until dog perks up to the name.
Here is a good video help!
you have to adjust your expectations to the dogs age --- you may be expecting more energy and prolonged interest than the dog is capable of giving .
Not necessarily too early... but don't expect miracles overnight. Keep it simple. Getting her to recognize that her name means good things is good. Don't just go calling her name around... you want her to pay attention when you say it (I've already messed this up with my pup and am now working to fix it, so better to get it right from the beginning).
Name = treat.
Name + Attention = treat and loving and more treat
Name + Attention + Coming to You = she won the jackpot, several treats, lots of loving, make it so that because she did that, the world is wonderful and amazing and everything is about her
At this age it is easier, since she can't go very far away... :p But again, don't expect her to be able to do a million things all at once. Just take it slow, and make everything good and positive and confidence building. :)

Any predictions or tips on songs/essays... anything? I am only beginning study for music.. is that bad? :(
No it isn't. Music is very basic. Most of your marks go for listening to the tape and thinking of things like texture - homophonic, monophonic and polyphonic, dynamics - piano, forte, mezzo, etc, tempo - allegro, allegretto, moderato etc. The only things you could really study are
- Types of Irish dances
- Traditional and non-traditional Irish music instruments
- Your general study
- Your choice songs and works for each category
- Composers, features and titles of your set songs and I predicted Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major Movement 2: Affetuoso to come up for the set work
@Syran Bruen, why do you think that Brandenburg affetuoso is coming up, and just out of interest what did you play for your practical?
Because Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major has not come up since 2004 and Allegro came up in 2004. Also Affetuoso came up on my mock. I played Recorder - I was forced to though I wanted to play Piano.
Rodeo came up on my mock and it hasn't came up since 2007 so it might come up? You never know with music because in 2010 and 2013 peer gynt came up and i bet none of them expected peer gynt to appear on the paper in 2013 because it came up last before their paper
We'll see anyway
Good prediction Jade, you got it right.
Thanks SryanBruen ! I thought it would either be Brandenburg or rodeo. But nonetheless I was glad it was rodeo. I thought it was a lovely paper. How did ye find it?
It was a grand paper but there were some weird questions. The Slip Jig Irish music question comes to mind. As well as the fact that the choice songs and works did not ask the texture of any excerpt - I've seen such a question in literally every exam paper I did including my mock. I was delighted that the choice song was popular songs though. The general study came up a little differently which confused me whether to do 2 or 3 features but I did 3 features anyway - because in the old layout, they told us to do 3 features. Some questions on Hoedown from Rodeo were weird as well such as "Name the melody". I was very happy with one of the choice songs as Eye of the Tiger and See You Again in Q6 - because I know them songs too well that I knew the answers without looking at the sheet music or listening to them. Overall, I thought it was a lovely paper - like your opinion.
Yeah, my music teacher was annoyed with that Irish music question. She said that everyone will probably get it wrong and they'll be forced to alter the marking scheme because of it. She also said that the slip jig and 9/8 time is on the Lc course and not ours so they never should have ever put it on our paper. Yeah, my teacher said that the general study would of caught a few people out. I did it the same as I always would really. Just the 3 features. My teacher said that about rodeo as well - the Melody is the name of the section e.g mcleods reel, bonyparte. I guessed bonyparte as the answer because I wasn't sure what the question was asking and she said it was right so it was grand.
I thought the set songs were nice and so was the rodeo in general. Irish music essay on collector was the exact same as my mock word for word. Dictation wasn't bad (for once) and the aural skills I thought were easy enough (nice to listen too as well) - the composing questions were lovely too!
I guessed Bonyparte as well! YES!

Well I stopped by the mailbox today and to my surprise there was a letter from our pistol clerk. All I have to do is call for an appt to stop by and have one more picture taken and an electronic finger print and she will hand me my permit. Then as quick as I can I will be off to the shop to pick up the Springfield GI 1911 that is waiting for me......paid in full ! I also have a nice Ruger Mk1 waiting for me that my buddy has had since last Feb.
I started this process last February. Picked up application, paid fees and got printed. Then one of my references held out on his letter until the end of June. NY says that the clerk has 6 months to issue. June 30th to Jan 23rd in my book is a little over that but I knew that it was gonna be here soon. I had spies at the Sheriffs dept
Hopefully I can get an hour or 2 off Monday afternoon to run down and get it taken care of.
Congratulations !!! That's a long wait...

Dang!!!, in Missouri we pick the gun we want, wait for the clerk to call the FBI, pay for the gun, and we leave with the gun (handgun, rifle, shotgun, etc.). Glad you can finally get it. That's Crazy!! Stock up on ammo!!!

The "Descendants" dreamboat joined alongside co-star Shailene Woodley as the pair chummed it up at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland while joining up alongside the world's most accomplished filmmakers for the swanky ceremony.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Confronting North Korea's Nuclear Breakout: Can it be stopped?
Questions surrounding North Korea and its nascent nuclear weapons program took center stage Monday night at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum. Just hours before the North Koreans announced they would return to the Six-Party Talks, a panel of defense experts and analysts discussed the range of policy options available to the U.S.
"What has transpired in North Korea in the last couple of weeks is one of the most significant setbacks for Americans and international security of recent years," said Ash Carter, co-director of the Preventive Defense Project and moderator of last night's event. Carter posed two questions to the panel: What does the future of North Korea look like and what do we do now about the situation there?
General John Tilelli, Jr., senior advisor for the Preventive Defense Project at Stanford University, doesn't see change in North Korea's future. He said, "I think denuclearization and a nuclear-free peninsula is a goal that we all have, but to assume that North Korea will voluntarily denuclearize is hope and…hope is not a method."
Stephen Linton, chairman of the Eugene Bell Foundation, agreed with Tilelli's assertion stating that, "The US needs to get real about the situation in East Asia." He added, "I think American policy in North Korea is driven by wishful thinking more than by reality. We have toyed with the idea of a North Korean collapse for a long time, but we should abandon it," he said.
Although many agree that the U.S. needs to engage North Korea through diplomacy rather than through military action, past negotiations have yielded little if any progress. Anne Wu, research fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, said cooperation from Washington will be key to any deal.
"North Korea needs to make a strategic choice to give up its nuclear weapons," she said. But Washington, she added "needs to join in political and economic engagement with North Korea."
Choi Young-Jin, current ambassador to the United Nations for the Republic of Korea, doubts that other nations can affect North Korea's current regime. He believes that "North Korea is so isolated from the outside world that regime collapse, regime change, regime improvement, cannot be induced." He added, "If it happens, it will happen because of North Korea."
Putting aside doubt and wishful thinking, there was little argument around the importance of stabilizing the situation in North Korea.
"North East Asia is the center of gravity to the United States and making stability in the region is very important and in the best interest of the Unites States of America," Tilelli remarked.

Spun a bearing, threw a rod? ouch
It appears my engine is toast, I had my car towed to ford last weekend after i was driving and there was a loud bang accompanied by loss of oil pressure and a nasty knocking/clacking sound. This diagnosis was that i spun a bearing and possibly threw a rod, I have an aftermarket warranty that would cover such things. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time because I change my own oil and because when my car arrived in the shop the oil level was very low(dont worry about the large puddle where i pushed the car to and the large puddle where it was sitting after the tow truck dropped it off... outside the service dept. The tech that inspected it said that lack of oil was the cause, the oil filter had loosened up(last oil change was about 2 months ago) and thats where most of it had leaked from.
Its entirely plausible that 2 months ago i improperly tightened the filter "it was only on by 2 threads" were the techs exact words, which we all know is bullshit, if it was only on that little it wouldnt even stay on and all the oil would have dumped long long ago. Yet my argument that whatever internal part(s) broke accompanied by lots of shaking could have loosened an already slightly loose but still functional filter is completely discredited along with the large puddles of used oil underneath my car at their dealership(after the damage) and the parking lot behind my apt. where i pushed it to(also after the damage)
I park in the same parking spot at work/my apt./girlfriends house and like anyone who does work on their own car or anyone with half a brain i take notice of things like oh i dont know allegedly loosing 3-4 quarts of oil onto the ground to cause all of this.
So now my warranty company is having them tear apart the engine to properly diagnose the cause, its my understanding the bearings should look polished? and if it was lack of oil they would be scratched looking? I don't know enough about internals so I'm hoping you guys could help me out with that bit. I'm already planning for worst case but with the lack of used svt engines i'm not sure how many cost saving methods i can implore..... any ideas?

535GT owners - Door Question
Hello All,
What's been your experience with closing the doors on your GT's, those without the softshut option? I stopped by the dealer today for something else and the service team noticed how they did not shut easily right away. Even said that "closing them twice will get old quick".
Do you find you have to slam your doors to close, and/or they are not closing easily?
Also - I used used the wiper cleaner for the first time today, and the headlights cleaner sprayed the whole car. Everyone else see this too? I probably would not have noticed it if it was raining, but it was a dry day, and I was just cleaning the window (next time I'll use a rag :D ). Note I found out, if the headlights are not on, the headlight wash will not spray....
Thanks in advance.
After awhile, you'll get 'the touch', and be able to close them once without slamming. This is a symptom of any frameless windowed door. They help a little by lowering the window slightly, but it still requires a moderate push to close.
I'm not sure how many of the models have a frameless window. Many of those ordered probably have the comfort access package, which includes the soft-close doors, then you'd never notice. I resisted that package because it was yet another thing to go wrong in the long-term, and it adds weight, too - the GT is already heavy enough!
I have the softshut option and find one of the doors, rear driver side, to be significantly harder to close. Will be bringing it into the dealership to see what can be done to adjust it.
The whole point of the soft-close doors is that you shouldn't slam them...just bring them to the first contact, then let the motor close it completely. If it doesn't close properly, hopefully, the dealer can resolve it. I'm not sure what would happen if it was regularly slammed like a 'normal' door - it might mess it up.
I've got the soft-shut doors, too, and am getting better at nudging them towards close without slamming. Guests in the car, however, keep slamming them. I did not get the ejector seat package. Arrgh.
FWIW, the user's manual says to push/pull softly to close the door when you have the soft-close doors.
I agree with Dave. My closing technique works just fine (after some experience) with the soft close, but passengers do slam the doors.:thumbdwn: I hope that won't hurt anything.
Just FYI.
Thanks for the longer term report. I also hear you about the "other" things that could come about from any tweaking but may let them look at it if they let me test out the 740i loaner they have over there :) The F07 is really in that category!
Had the drivers' door not latch several times over 9 months, but then not again. I think the mechanism may get misaligned IF you press the lock or unlock buttons on the door handle accidentally while closing the door. I believe that is what I did and the door simply popped back open. I unlocked it using the inside dash button and it closed normally and pulled itself snug. One more occasion of the same thing several months later and I blame myself for doing the same thing, grabbing the entire handle while closing the door and confusing the mechanism. It seems all too easy to slightly pull the handle outward while unlocking it with the strip and pushing the door away from you to close, all in one motion.
I blame that on the frameless doors, as with the old framed glass, we simply gave the frame a shove and that was it. I think most of us are too conditioned to shove the glass, due to potential damage or breakage, and pushing at the beltline just doesn't seem natural if the window isn't down, or you're not in convertible!
My new GT is back at the dealer right now for the door issue. I found that I have trouble closing the driver's door both from the outside and inside. I really have to pull hard to get it to shut when I'm in the driver seat. The left rear door has the same problem.
I'll report back in when the service advisor tells me what they found/fixed.
Anyone i know that has had soft close doors (and in some cases trunks) have inevitably had a problem at some point during ownership often repetitive! Soft close doors are NOT MEANT TO BE SLAMMED, unfortunately there is no one to train parking attendants or your non regular passengers...
Yes triggering the lock mechanism during the soft close process can damage the the mechanism...
My 550 came with soft close as part of one of the packages and i had to special order NO SOFT CLOSE DOORS! The doors are heavy and big and some passengers do not pull hard enough and the door needs to be reclosed...
Most convertibles have framelss design and have the same window drop down feature upon closing so I'm used to the "feel" of this..
If you have soft closed doors,
1)expect to need them "fine tuned" every so often, make it a practice to either complain or at least have them checked anytime you service the car...(by complaining they will really look at them and may notice a slight misalignment)
2)start remembering to notify your passengers "don't slam the door"!!!!!!!
Update to my door issue
I picked up my car yesterday and the service advisor said they made some kind of adjustment to the catch mechanism on the driver's side door. Now it closes fine but it still doesn't have that solid feel to it that I expect. We will give it some time and see.
On the passenger side they side the latch was fine but the upper corner of the window (on the left as you look at the car) could be pushing against the seal. One closing, this could prevent the door from fully shutting without a firm push. They didn't want to mess with it as anything they changed would throw the rest of the door out of balance. The SA told me it should get better with time. Looking at the way the door it, I can accept that description of what is going on and that it may "wear in". We shall see.

Yep – that's right – you can send text messages to phone using an Outlook e-mail.
Now, I can already hear you thinking … but I wouldn't even begin to know how to address the message and my computer isn't connected to the phone line.
No problem because addressing the message is a breeze and you aren't actually phoning them so that connection won't be necessary.
So, the only issue to address would be how to … well, address it.
The format will look like this:
10 digit phone number @ carrier's extension
I'm sure you know the phone number; it's the last part that is stumping you.
Once again – no problem.
You could choose to have them text you at your e-mail address. Obviously the address for the phone will be the "From" of the message.
Or… we could look it up.
I ran a quick internet search using "cell phone carrier email extensions".
Lots came up – many of them had a list of the biggest carriers and I found this one at Wikipedia [1] that is quite a bit more detailed. Scroll down to the bottom of the page – the list you need is in the last table on the page.
Once you've got the extension then you're set to go – texting without locating your phone.
You've got to love it!

Beware: tradesmen in the library
It only takes a quick visit to the Cambridge University Library to dispel any suspicion that the book is dead, or even approaching the last stages of terminal illness. The whole place is bursting at the seams with new accessions, which have now outgrown all the shelves and are spilling over onto tables, window-sills and even the floor. All over the library you find little notes saying, helpfully, things like: "Classmark 534.6 c 95 continues on the table by the window". I rather approve of all this (the UL is one of the few big libraries where a lot of the books are open to readers and don't have to be ordered up from some compact-shelving dungeon) – but it does mean that the whole place is coming to look more and more like my own office. That is to say a bit of a mess.
I've just been spending a few rare days in the UL. Rare? Yes, and not only because I've been away for three months. Despite what you might enviously imagine about the working life of the average Cambridge don, I hardly ever get the time to go there during term. And even in the vacation, the excellent library in the Classics Faculty is only two minutes from my office and meets most of my needs. So some solid hours in the main library (the one with the "up yours" tower) seems quite a luxury.
The UL is a marvellous combination of high-tech library science (or "information science" I guess I should say) and some endearingly quaint old-fashioned habits.
There are great banks of computers for searching the catalogue in every way you can imagine. You can search for books written in Italian by people named Smith between 1930 and 1940 if you are so minded – which can occasionally come in handy (even though, as no librarian likes to admit, if you are just trying to find Syme's Roman Revolution, or some such volume, it's much quicker to do that with a card catalogue or guardbook than it ever is on a computer).
But underneath the swish machinery there's still a formidable foundation of Victorian handwritten records. Today I had ordered up -- these weren't on open shelves -- all the succeeding editions of Murray's Handbook for Travellers in Southern Italy from 1853 to the end of the century. (What I was doing with these, you'll no doubt hear in due course.) They all arrived on my desk, apart from the second edition. And there was a suspicious gap in the class marks between 1 and 3. L576.d.6.1, L576.d.6.3, but no L576.d.6.2
When I queried this, the librarian offered to consult the "shelf list". This involved no clicking of buttons, keys or mice. Instead he brought an old leather binder. Inside there were hundreds of handwritten pages. And turning to the page for the offending classmark, we looked at the individual entries for the accession of each new edition of the Handbook, written in scrawly fountain pen by underpaid Victorian clerks. Sure enough, there was a blank where L576.d.6.2 should have been. They never received it.
But it's not just in the cataloguing that there's a quaintly Victorian tinge. This afternoon I walked along one of the long library corridors, which had obviously been recently painted. In fact, the health-and-safety notice to warn readers of the potentially dangerous decorating work was still in place. Take care, it said, "tradesmen may be working above". What other library in the world would still talk about "tradesmen"?
(PS. If you've enjoyed this good news blog about the survival of the book, you might enjoy this little video – courtesy of a friend at the Getty -- about the birth of the book)

Sign-up for SURE Program under way
Steve Maurer, state executive director for Ohio's Farm Service Agency, announced the sign-up period for the 2011 crop year Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program has begun. "Any eligible producer who suffered losses during the 2011 crop year is encouraged to visit their local FSA office to learn more about the SURE program and how to apply," said Maurer.
Under the 2008 Farm Bill, SURE authorizes assistance to farmers and producers who suffered crop losses caused by natural disasters occurring through Sept. 30, 2011. All eligible farmers and producers must sign up for 2011 SURE benefits before the June 7, 2013 deadline.
To qualify for a SURE payment, the producer's operation must be located in a county that was declared a disaster for 2011 and have at least a 10 percent production loss that affects one crop of economic significance. Producers with agricultural operations located outside a disaster county are eligible for SURE benefits if they had a production loss greater or equal to 50 percent of the normal production on the farm.
For more information on SURE program eligibility requirements contact your local FSA office or visit the website at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.

AL East
- The AL East is turning into the most competitive division in baseball and much of that has to do with the Toronto Blue Jays. After a 13-6 victory over Baltimore on Sunday, Toronto watched its winning streak rise to 11 games. The Jays swept three series in a row since June 13, including a four-game road sweep over the Rangers, a three-game sweep of the Rockies and a division-altering, three-game sweep of the Orioles. The Red Sox are in the driver's seat right now, but the rest of the division isn't far behind. Baltimore is just two games back while the Yankees are 2.5 games behind, leaving the Blue Jays and Rays each trailing by five games. The AL East is the only division in baseball where each team is just five games or less behind the division leader.
- David Ortiz hit his 15th home run of the season at Comerica Park on Thursday, tying him with Jim Thome and Paul Konerko for the all-time lead at the stadium with 17 career long balls. Ortiz had a productive week, going 9-for-24 with two home runs and six RBI. But Big Papi wasn't the only Red Sox player who had a nice week. Jose Iglesias went 7-for-17 in five games with two triples. Iglesias had 43 hits in the first 100 bats of his career, making him the first MLB rookie to have 43 hits in his first 100 bats since Luke Scott did so for the Astros in 2006.
- Evan Longoria seems to have worked on his swing this season in an effort to spray balls the opposite way. He has already set a personal single-season best with five home runs to the opposite field. Longoria hit two of those opposite field bombs in one game at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, making him only the third right-handed hitter to hit two opposite field home runs in one game at that stadium since it opened, with the other two players being Russell Martin and Jesus Montero.
AL Central
- Cleveland Indians teammates Jason Kipnis and Corey Kluber have been named American League co-Players of the Week for the week ending June 16th. Kipnis hit .524 (11-for-21) with two doubles, a home run and four RBIs in six games for the week and his infield single late in the week gave the Tribe a walk-off win over Washington. As for Kluber, he took a win in both of his decisions during the week, striking out 11 batters and walking just three in 16 innings of work.
- All three of Minnesota's wins this past week came in a three-game sweep of the White Sox and Thursday's series finale proved to be an interesting one when the Twins received run support from a few unlikely sources. Brian Dozier, Oswaldo Arcia, Clete Thomas, and Eduardo Escobar - all with three seasons or less of major-league experience - each hit home runs in the Twins' 8-4 victory. It was the first time in team history that Minnesota players homered from the first, seventh, eighth, and ninth slots in the batting order in the same game and only the second time a team has done that since 2005.
- Even with all of the phenomenal starting pitching that Detroit has received this year, manager Jim Leyland is still scratching his head over who should close games for his team. With no one officially named to the role of 'closer', Leyland has leaned on Joaquin Benoit and Jose Valverde. The choice became a bit clearer this week, however, when Valverde was designated for assignment after posting a 5.59 ERA with three blown saves in 19.1 innings pitched. Even though Leyland has had his share of headaches with closers, it's Drew Smyly who has been the big surprise in the Tiger bullpen. Smyly is 3-0 with a 1.85 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 43.2 innings pitched, but will continue to labor solely as a middle reliever.
AL West
- Houston's Carlos Pena etched his name into baseball lore this week with a three-run walkoff home run in a 7-4 victory over the Brewers on Thursday. It was the sixth walkoff homer of Pena's career and he has hit them for five different teams: the Athletics, Tigers, Red Sox, Rays, and Astros. That ties the all-time major-league record, which was set by Johnny Damon, who hit walkoff home runs for the Royals, Red Sox, Yankees, Tigers, and Rays.
- Most Seattle fans would safely assume that a 7-0 lead for the Mariners with Felix Hernandez on the mound in the fifth inning is an automatic win... but not on Thursday. That is the exact scenario he faced against the Angels and they tagged him for seven runs after the first seven Los Angeles batters of the inning reached base. It was just the second time in his career that Hernandez failed to record a win after his team gave him five or more runs of support. Even with the disastrous collapse, King Felix has an 8-4 record and 2.71 ERA with 112 strikeouts. Given his career numbers, it's probably safe to say he will bounce back this week against Pittsburgh at home.
NL East
- The Mets sent starter Colin McHugh to the Rockies this past week in exchange for outfielder Eric Young, Jr., a move that probably had plenty to do with a lack of consistency at the leadoff spot this season. In his first few games with New York, Young is already paying dividends, going 5-for-17 with four RBI and a run scored and setting the table for a Mets series win in Philadelphia. Manager Terry Collins seems ready to give Young a shot to be his full-time leadoff man, especially given his potential to steal bases, but nothing is ever set in stone for the Mets. They have been in search of a leadoff hitter since Spring Training.
- After being named National League Player of the Week two weeks in a row, Domonic Brown seems to have cooled down a bit. The Phillies youngster scorched through the month of May with 12 home runs while raising his average more than 30 points. This past week, however, Brown went a modest 6-for-19 and struck out eight times. Brown has not hit a home run since June 8th.
NL Central
- The National League has seen some phenomenal young talent on the mound this season, with studs like Matt Harvey, Shelby Miller and Patrick Corbin becoming household names. But what about Jeff Locke? The 26-year-old Pittsburgh starter is not nearly as overpowering or versatile as the other guys, but he's shown he can hang with them. In fact, Locke currently leads the National League with a 2.01 ERA and is quietly having an unbelievable season on one of the league's most surprising teams. In all of baseball, only Clay Buchholz has a better earned run average and batters are hitting a measly .203 against Locke this season. He won't strike out many batters and he walks more of them than he would like to, but whatever he has been doing is proving effective. In 15 starts on the season, Locke has allowed one run or less in 10 of them. Consistency like that is one of the many reasons why Pittsburgh could be heading to the playoffs.
- Cardinals infielder Daniel Descalso began his season on poor footing and was hitting just .197 midway through May. Now, Descalso, a valuable member of Cardinal playoff teams the last two years, is hitting .279 after compiling 21 hits in 53 at-bats. Whatever he has changed since then seems to have made a difference because in a span of 17 games Descalso started at either third base, shortstop or second base, he hit .387 and the Cardinals won 16 of those games. Manager Mike Matheny noted how important Descalso has been when he starts games and will likely give him more opportunities. They will most likely be at third base with hot-hitting Matt Carpenter a lock at second base. Either way you spin it, the Cardinals are the top dog in the NL Central and timely hitting from players like Descalso is a huge reason for that.
NL West
- Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez was named National League Player of the Week for the week ending on June 16th. He crushed three home runs during the week, hitting 10-for-21 with a pair of doubles and a triple. He also had eight RBI. Gonzalez has been a model of consistency so far this season, hitting .311 with 20 home runs and 56 RBI. He also has 13 stolen bases.
- Chris Denorfia had a night to remember on Friday as the Padres beat the Dodgers by a score of 5-2. The outfielder had a home run, a walk and a single in his three trips to the plate against Clayton Kershaw. The only other player to face Kershaw at least three times in one game, reach base in every plate appearance and hit a home run was Luis Castillo. While he was with the Mets in 2008, Castillo hit a home run and walked twice against Kershaw.
- This season, Adrian Gonzalez isn't putting up the power numbers he has been known to produce in the past, but he still showed his ability to hit for raw power for the last-place Dodgers on Saturday. The lefty first baseman crushed a home run in the sixth inning off San Diego starter Edinson Volquez, a bomb which broke up the pitcher's no-hitter, with the count at no balls and two strikes. It was Gonzalez's first home run of 2013 after falling behind in the count 0-2. Gonzalez had 31 homers after being in an 0-2 count from 2005 through 2012, the fourth-highest total in the major leagues.

Equity Accounts are the last stop on the Balance Sheet. The total equity in your business represents the net worth of your business, or the "book value". Everything you own minus everything you owe equals your net worth.
What is YOUR business worth today? Watch the video and then run your balance sheet in your own QuickBooks file and let me know by posting comments below if you now have a better understanding of the net worth or book value of your company.
When your business makes a profit that increases the Equity of your business. If you write yourself a check to pay out those profits (sort of like a dividend on a big corporation) then you reduce the equity in your business because you are paying out the earnings as a benefit to the shareholders. If you purchase equipment or pay for expenses using personal means then you have increased the equity of your business because you made a contribution. The long, clean way to do this is clearer to see when you think about it. You would deposit the cash into your business account first (capital contribution into the business increases equity) and then you would write a check to pay for the equipment. The second part, writing the check to pay for the equipment has no impact on equity – you use some cash in the business and converted that cash to an asset.
Setting up the Equity accounts in your business will vary depending on the entity type.
Here are the equity accounts you would set up for different entity types:
Corps and S-Corps
Shareholder Contributions
Shareholder Distributions
Common Stock or Capital Stock
LLC / Partnership
Member or Partner Capital (this can be broken up into contributions and distributions just as with shareholder capital in a corp
Member or Partner Earnings
Sole Proprietor
Owner Capital (or break up into owner contributions / distributions)
What questions or challenges do you have in terms of understanding the equity section of your balance sheet? Please post your comments or questions below.

YPSILANTI - Philanthropists William (Bill) and Delores (Dee) Brehm have long had a vision to help children with special needs in new and creative ways. Now they are collaborating with Eastern Michigan University to further that goal by donating $3.2 million to Eastern's College of Education, the largest gift in the University's history.
The donation will be used to establish the Delores Soderquist Brehm Center for Special Education Scholarship and Research and to fully endow programs that they have been supporting for several years on an annual basis. The gift was announced at the EMU Board of Regents meeting June 21.
"This generous gift will move Eastern's nationally-known special education department forward into new areas," said Roy Wilbanks, chair of the Board of Regents. "There is a great need for outstanding special education teachers, so the Brehms' donation and efforts on behalf of our students come at a critical time."
"It's a joy to see Dee and Bill Brehms' personal interest and love for the Brehm scholars, and the faculty who work in developing these students into caring teachers and leaders who understand and perform research in special education," said Susan Martin, president of Eastern Michigan. "Their donation of more than $3 million to establish a permanent endowment, on top of their generous support of more than $1 million in the past, ensures this work continues in the future. This is a couple who gives with their heart to support students and special education research."
The goal is to train special education professionals and researchers who will lead the way in supporting people with disabilities, said Dee Brehm, herself a graduate of Eastern's special education program. "These students will transform special education through their research, and their leadership in schools and other institutions."
"Eastern Michigan University's program has a great reputation and this donation is something that we have pondered for some time, in consultation with the University," Bill Brehm said. "Donors want to ensure that their investment in projects will make a difference. Eastern worked closely with us, and took our ideas seriously. Our objective is to help the Special Education training program encompass a research track that would involve both students and faculty, working together.
The new center will be housed within the Department of Special Education, bringing four programs together under one roof. The center will fully endow:
Dee Brehm says the special education field has changed dramatically since she graduated from Eastern Michigan.
"Two weeks after graduation, Bill and I were married and moved to San Diego," she said. "Bill started a career in the aerospace industry there, and I taught special education in the public school system. I was isolated in a temporary classroom, with no assistance. I was with my 15 students (the maximum allowed then) for the entire day, including lunch and recess. I attended city-wide conferences on special education, but was disappointed to find that the meetings focused almost exclusively on exceptionally bright children. Little was said about children with disabilities."
"Special education is a challenging field, and always is seen as a definite calling by our Scholars," Dee says. The Brehms envision that the Delores Soderquist Brehm Center will stimulate new ideas and understanding about the profession and continue to add to the education of future education leaders.
In addition to the $3.2 million donation, the Brehms also have donated $115,000 to complete their endowment for the John Barson Fellowship in Public Administration.
This Fellowship provides tuition support for one year, up to ten credit hours per semester, for a graduate student enrolled in the public administration program within the Department of Political Science. It honors their longtime friend and Eastern alumnus, Dr. John Barson, who died in 2006.
A renowned educational consultant in medicine, Barson was founding president of the Oklahoma College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery. He was known for his efforts to promote effective administration and efficiency and for applying public administration skills to health care and higher education. Dr. Barson earned his bachelor's degree from Eastern Michigan University, and a master's degree and Ed.D from Wayne State University.
"Our friendship ranged over 60 years," Bill Brehm said. "He was a great citizen and a great friend."

A bachelorette no more: Ashley Hebert weds beau
FILE – In this publicity file photo provided by ABC, Ashley Hebert, left, kisses J.P. Rosenbaum on the season finale of "The Bachelorette" in Fiji. Hebert got hitched over the weekend in California to J.P. Rosenbaum of Long Island, who proposed to her on the seventh season of the ABC dating reality show. Natalia [auth] Desrosiers, spokeswoman for Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show, said the wedding will be aired on Dec. 16 on ABC. (AP Photo/ABC, Matt Klitscher, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — Ashley Hebert (AY'-behr) is no longer a "Bachelorette."
The 28-year-old Maine native got hitched over the weekend in Pasadena, Calif., to 35-year-old New York resident J.P. Rosenbaum, who proposed to her on the seventh season of the ABC dating reality show "The Bachelorette." Hebert tweeted "12/1/12 goes down in history as the best day" of her life.
A spokeswoman for show producer Warner Bros. Television says the wedding will be aired Dec. 16 on ABC.
Hebert also competed on the 15th season of "The Bachelor." She grew up in Madawaska, Maine, and is a dentist. The couple lives in the New York City area.
Only one other couple that became engaged on the TV show's finale has married. Bachelorette Trista Rehn married Vail, Colo., firefighter Ryan Sutter in 2003.

Worst of all worlds for Miley Cyrus
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Another "wholesome" teen icon gone bad? Or was U.S. television star Miley Cyrus' blunder in allowing herself to be photographed wrapped only in a bed sheet simply a mistake that will be forgiven by her young fans?
The 15-year-old star of the Disney Channel hit TV show "Hannah Montana" laid low on Tuesday as the furor over her Vanity Fair photo shoot left some commentators wondering if she would ever live it down.
"If you are Miley Cyrus you can't really lie low. She is a phenomenon," Us Weekly editor in chief Janice Min told Reuters. "This magazine is going to be on newsstands for an entire month."
Cyrus rocketed to fame on the show about a girl who leads a double life as a teenager and singing sensation. Her "Best of Both Worlds" concert tour last year sold $36 million in tickets, and generated a hit 3D film, but venues sold out so quickly and scalpers sold so many tickets at such high prices that angry parents filed suit and politicians launched investigations.
The actress quickly apologized over the Vanity Fair picture, taken by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, which showed her with tousled hair and apparently wearing nothing but a sheet clutched over her breasts.
Additional photos released by the magazine included one of Cyrus, with a bared midriff, resting on the knee of her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.
"This picture disturbs me. It looks like his daughter is his girlfriend. He's trying to be hot," radio host Howard Stern said.
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, 49, herself a former child star, said she wished Cyrus' guardians had protected her better. Continued...

[AMERICANS ABROAD] Fulham's Clint Dempsey suffered a knee injury during Fulham's 2-0 loss at Blackburn on Sunday.
The 26-year-old attacker, who
had hit the woodwork with an acrobatic overhead kick earlier in the game, is suspected to have cruciate knee ligament damage.
Dempsey's injury is a blow for the overachieving Cottagers and
could jeopardize his appearance at the 2010 World Cup.
"The initial prognosis for Clint is not good," Fulham coach Roy Hodgson told the BBC . "It looks [like] he has suffered cruciate knee ligament damage, which if he has keeps him out of action for a
"We won't know for certain until the scan is completed on Monday but the doctors are pretty good these days and often their initial prognosis proves to be the correct one."
Dempsey, who has scored seven goals in 25 appearances for Fulham, scored four goals for the USA in 2009, including three during the USA's runner-up finish at the Confederations Cup. His
absence in South Africa would be a major blow to the USA, which will most likely also be without striker Charlie Davies, who suffered severe injuries in an October car accident.
Dempsey has scored 17 goals in 60 appearances for the USA, which he represented at the 2006 World Cup, where he started in the 1-1 tie with Italy and the 2-1 loss to Ghana. He scored the
U.S. goal against Ghana.
Dempsey's injury is a serious blow to Fulham, which recently lost Bobby Zamora with a dislocated collarbone.

Emergent Matters: Reflections on Collaborative Practice-led Research
Mafe, Daniel J. & Brown, Andrew R. (2006) Emergent Matters: Reflections on Collaborative Practice-led Research. In Speculation and Innovation, April 2005, QUT Brisbane, Australia.
This paper will show how collaborative practice-led research can lead to the generation of new knowledge and new artistic work. In it we will address two aspects, firstly how separate creative practices can positively combine when connected by a research focus and, secondly, how a digital technology can be a catalyst for collaborative practice-led research. We begin by outlining some central concerns pertaining to collaborative and practice-led research and describe how these approaches can come together in a creative arts context. As an example of effective collaborative practice-led we present a case study description of our computational art project that generates animated image and sound. We point out interesting parallels between emergent properties of the generative techniques of practice and the collaborative research relationship, and conclude that it is the emergent nature of the collaborative and creative processes that produce research and artistic outcomes that are more than the sum of the parts.
The structure of this article begins by outlining the two board themes of this paper, practice-led research and collaborative practice, then moves to a description of our Pixels project which illustrates how these two streams can be successfully combined within a the one activity.

Arsène Wenger may add to his defensive resources this month but he admits the wheels are not yet in motion for any deals.
The squad has been hit by a number of full-back injuries in recent months with Bacary Sagna, Carl Jenkinson, Andre Santos, Kieran Gibbs and Thomas Vermaelen all sidelined.
Johan Djourou's suspension has compounded Wenger's concerns and he may seek a short-term option this month.
"At the moment nothing, we don't have a concrete case but we don't rule it out," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "[A loan defender is] the likely scenario, yes.
"[I am expecting a] quiet [market]. Europe is depressed and there is not a lot of money available, only some clubs who have exceptional resources. Let's say that clubs who are not linked with the economic environment at the moment can buy!"

It is easily arguable that millions of people have died from malaria because DDT was outlawed. There is a continual and fanatical attack that will not end until no pesticides are used and our industry is ruined and pestilence and disease are out of control. Common sense even says that if you can treat soil around a deck or patio, but not the patio itself because it might get washed off onto that area, there's an incoherent reasoning. Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely careful with how I treat a structure to protect where the pesticides go. But is anyone in this industry fighting back against the ridiculous attacks against pesticide use? Or have we just rolled over and accepted the bad legislation and poor science that backs the attacks?
You pose some good thoughts Roy, and this is a topic that I am also passionate about, so I will have to abbreviate some of my thoughts in this answer to keep it manageable. You also touch on several separate issues, so let's address them one at a time. First, I agree with you that there are large numbers of people in our society, many of them members of highly organized and well-financed groups, who would love to see all of our chemical tools eliminated immediately. Their desire for this may be well intended but it is also hypocritical and short sighted. Many of them advocate the use of "natural" pesticides to replace "synthetic" pesticides in the belief that there is something magical about natural substances that makes them safe for use. The fact is that toxic is toxic, and our bodies cannot tell the difference between natural and synthetic molecules. I personally believe that many of these people also place humans well below other living creatures on the Earth, and our health and welfare are secondary to environmental purity. This belief is unlikely to change, so we just have to accept it and fight their efforts to create unreasonable legislation.

Ignoring polling, Liasson claimed on Fox News Sunday that all Republicans beat Clinton
Research ››› ››› RYAN CHIACHIERE
On the May 13 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, Fox News contributor and NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson asserted that former New York City mayor and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is "trying to argue" that he is "the only one who can beat a Democratic nominee -- [Sen.] Hillary Clinton [D-NY]." Liasson added, "But I don't think the polls support that. I think the polls show that in head-to-head matchups, for whatever that's worth now, they all do." However, while some recent polling has been less favorable to Clinton, two polls released in May show her leading not only Giuliani, but also the other top Republican candidates in head-to-head contests.
A Newsweek poll, conducted May 2-3 and released May 5, found that Clinton led Giuliani 49 percent to 46 percent -- within the poll's margin of error of 4 percentage points. The poll also found Clinton leading Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) 50 percent to 44 percent and ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) 57 percent to 35 percent.
Additionally, a national poll conducted by WNBC and Marist College between April 26 and May 1 found that Clinton led Giuliani 48 percent to 43 percent and led McCain 47 percent to 42 percent. That poll had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points for questions regarding head-to-head contests.
Other recent polling has shown Clinton even with or behind Giuliani and McCain.
A Diageo/Hotline poll, conducted April 26-30, showed Clinton and McCain tied at 45 percent, while Giuliani led Clinton 47 percent to 43 percent, with both cases including "leaners." Clinton was ahead of Romney 50 percent to 35 percent, including "leaners." The margin of error was 3.5 percentage points.
A Quinnipiac poll conducted April 25 to May 1 showed Giuliani ahead of Clinton 49 percent to 40 percent, while McCain led Clinton 46 percent to 41 percent. The poll questions pertaining to head-to-head contests had a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.
From the May 13 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:
LIASSON: And Rudy Giuliani is saying something very bold and challenging to the party, which is terrorism and the economy are more important than social issues, and I have the best plan for both of those.
Plus -- now, this is where I don't think he has closed the sale, but he's also trying to argue that I am the only one who can beat a Democratic nominee -- Hillary Clinton. But I don't think the polls support that. I think the polls show that in head-to-head matchups, for whatever that's worth now, they all do.
But that is the challenge for the Republican Party. Is it ready to rebrand itself by de-emphasizing the social issues and nominate a Giuliani? We don't know that yet.
WALLACE: How do you think, Bill, he handled the issue in our interview?

Prostitutes on display at venerable London gallery
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The National Gallery in London, one of the world's great public collections, has put on display a seedy reconstruction of Amsterdam's Red Light District in a rare foray into contemporary installation art.
When plans to house Ed and Nancy Kienholz's "The Hoerengracht" were announced last year, critics asked whether the normally reserved National was "prostituting itself" to contemporary art designed, at least in part, to shock.
But at a press preview on Tuesday, curator Colin Wiggins defended the decision to feature the installation which recreates a street and buildings caked in grime where life-like models of scantily clad women display themselves in windows. He also underlined the links between the piece and famous Dutch paintings from the 17th century that belong to the gallery's permanent collection.
Wiggins also argued that the sordid subject matter, portrayed in all its "squalor," was not as out of place at the National as visitors may initially think.
"This is like walking into a 17th century Dutch painting of Amsterdam," Wiggins said.
"We have pictures of gang rape, we have pictures of incest, we have pictures of murder and torture and mutilation, but because people put them in gold frames and cover them in varnish ... they're safe, they're tame."
The Kienholzes began making The Hoerengracht in 1983, just over a decade after they met at a party in Los Angeles and married. It took them around five years to make.
By the time they met, Ed Kienholz was already famous for installations that were controversial for tackling subjects including mental illness, abortion and the sex trade. Continued...
