High start (may have to stack pads if you're shorter) on good holds. Big move up to a right-hand decent hold then up to the cross. Another big move then top out to the left. High and scary, but super fun.
The cross-shaped hold is an obvious landmark that you are on the right problem.
crash pads and spotters (and a prayer).
I would call this a little more stiff than V3. I started at the undercling and found it to be about the harder V4 range. Even a soft V5
The V scale was originated at Hueco by John "Vermin" Sherman, et al (note the V of the nickname). His now older, but very thorough guide to Hueco clearly states "The standard problems for each grade are here so nobody can complain that Hueco Tanks problems are over or under rated." The Verm lists Sign of the Cross as THE standard for V3 in his explanation of the scale. No doubt Sign of the Cross is burly, but no matter what V3 may have become elsewhere, Sign of the Cross is V3.
I have no idea if Sign of the Cross is soft or hard, but.... ...while Verm's notion is quaint, rock breaks, holds get polished, new sequences are discovered. Route grades are not steady-state, they change over time. Some routes get harder over time, some get easier (some stay the same?).
hard to say on this one, within the vicinity theres skimmer (V3) and sign of the choss (v4). this climb is surely harder than skimmer and definitely easier than choss..
dude this is not even close to a v5 your ego has probably just been sorely bruised from Hueco Tanks... Its ok - it happens to everybody You gotta remember that the V grading system was invented here - like Randall said. Its V3, period.. Those moves are not 5.12a (V4) - its just deceiving because all the holds are very uneven. If your unsure - cruise the line about 4 or 5 times, get the beta down - and then I think that youll agree its V3.
Definitely V3...I think you'll see why if you read Verm's book "Better Bouldering" where the V-scale is explained. The mental aspect and the sharpness of the rock should not be taken into account (that 2nd hold hurts); so just the physicality of the movements is V3.

In the past, people wrote in their diaries or journals to relieve
themselves of pent up feelings and to just put the words in their head
down on paper. With the emergence of the internet, there was a rise in
websites offering a similar platform for people to digitally speak their
minds. From the glory days of OpenDiary, Xanga, LiveJournal, and,
alternatively, DeadJournal, there has been a progression in web
journaling that has surpassed the teen angst-filled ranting and venting.
Blogging has become the evolving mainstay of internet culture. People
are always looking to connect, stay creative, and be heard. Blogging
offers just that! Bloggers are drawn to this creative outlet that's
available to anyone with an internet connection, but with so many people
blogging nowadays, it can be hard to have one's blog seen or heard.
Fortunately, there are tactics to getting your blog recognized and today
we have a list of highly effective ways to help you get your blog not
only acknowledged, but shared worldwide.
1. Utilize Social Media Platforms
The internet provides countless sources to help get the word out about your blog. One of the most successful web tactics is sharing your blog posts through various social media platforms. Tweet out a link on Twitter, pin it on Pinterest, share a post on Facebook, Google+, and StumbleUpon — every outlet can only help spread the word about your blog. It's important to also add social media sharing buttons to your site for your readers to share articles. Additionally, it would be wise to create separate pages, accounts, and profiles on these platforms specifically for your blog to offer an assembled forum for your readers with updates on new posts.
2. Join a Blogging Community
In accordance with utilizing social media platforms, it's important to maintain a relationship with your readers and especially your fellow bloggers. Depending on the type of blog you're producing, you can find several rings of blogging communities to support and aid you in sharing and enhancing your content with feedback. Other than the basic genre of topics your personal posts cover, there are also other ways to define yourself as a blogger that could really help you meet others like yourself and, ultimately, reach out to more potential readers. There are communities of people that share bonds over anything from age and location to the number of children they have and dealing with unemployment. Find your niche and remember that continuous networking is a must.
3. Try Guest Blogging
A popular activity amongst a blogging community is guest blogging. What this entails is pretty simple: share your work with others on their sites and invite them to write on your blog. Whether you reach out to another blogger you've never corresponded with before or you already have a budding relationship with the person, suggest guest blogging. It's a great way to expand both of your readers by exposing your writing to a new audience. Generally, there are some guidelines set about the subject and whether the post should be original and exclusive to the blog you will be a guest on. Make sure to come to an agreement on the logistics beforehand.
4. Leave Comments on Other Blogs
Like guest blogging, commenting is an integral part of building relationships and simultaneously promoting your blog. Find blogs you admire that have a similar audience your content would attract. Most blogging platforms include a comment section that provides the opportunity to link back to your own blog. In case you don't have the option of embedding your link into your username, the alternative option is to simply insert the full URL address at the end of your comment. Don't spam blogs only with your link, though. No one likes that. The better and more enticing your comment is, the more likely someone is to click on your link.

SOUTH BEND -- The Common Council is making another attempt for the release of some controversial police tapes that led Mayor Pete Buttigieg to demote former Chief Darryl Boykins and fire former police communications director Karen DePaepe.
The council's attorney, E. Spencer Walton, filed a motion Friday in St. Joseph Circuit Court to compel the mayor to release the tapes.
Council members voted last month to serve Buttigieg with a subpoena to release the tapes, which are rumored to contain conversations among officers talking about potentially criminal acts and making racial comments about Boykins, who is black.
The mayor, instead of responding to the subpoena, asked a federal judge to decide if it's legal to listen to the tapes. The FBI investigated the police department's recording practices earlier this year on suspicion that there had been violations of the Federal Wiretap Act.
A court hearing on the council's motion is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 24.

Radiator efficiency, is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). The dimensions of a room are used to calculate the BTU output required to heat that room. Radiators all have a known and calculated BTU output. Using the BTU outputs in the Product Specification or description above, it is easy to calculate the size of radiator you need to help provide the total heat output necessary for your room.
The best way is to ask your plumber to perform the calculation for you. If you don't have access to a plumber, you can use the BTU Calculator below as a guide. Please note that the calculated figure relates to the combined heat output of all radiators in the room, therefore the towel rail or radiator that you purchase need not satisfy the entire BTU output if it is used to complement existing radiators.

This is the second time I've tried this recipe. Both times, the dough was incredibly sticky and stuck to the surface (a formica counter top. The second time, I tried a bunch of flour, and that didn't help much. The dough basically disintegrated when I tried to put the beef on it and to move the beef. I also had to use flexible cutting boards to get under the dough. The first time, the dough stuck to the baking sheet so much that I had to throw the baking sheet away. I'm not hopeful this time, either. This is one of the very few Good Eats recipes that has been a complete failure for me.

Alton has always been admired in this household. So, when it came time to prepare another Holiday Dinner at his mothers house with a very finnicky stove/oven I searched for what I could make without bringing my tabletop rotissiere again... I saw Alton make this on his show and knew that this was the thing to try. Can you say PERFECTION!!!! Follow the recipe exactly - cooking time and all. Such a great hit last year that we are repeating it again this year. I think that a new family tradition has begun. THANK YOU !!!

This recipe is absolutely fantastic! I saw Alton Brown's segment on it (two or three times and knew I had to make it. I have made stuffed tenderloin in the past and it always turned out very well; but this recipe tops any of the others I've made. I made it a few months ago and everyone loved it, including young children. I followed the recipe with one exception - I was short one egg white, which I think made the dough a little more difficult to work with. The only difficult part of this recipe was transferring the prepared, raw tenderloin onto the baking sheet. I baked it for 30 minutes and let it sit for about an hour. It was perfect! It was tender and tasty - once on our plates it didn't need a steak knife to cut it and the flavor was great. I'm making it again for Christmas with my daughters. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love AB's segments.

I made this for a large family Christmas Eve dinner 2 years ago. Everyone still talks about it, so I'm doing it again this year. I kept it in the oven a bit too long, and the residual heat over-cooked it, in my opinion, but no one else complained! It was still extremely tender, and very tasty. Trust the cooking time, and let it come up to temp while resting. Enjoy!

Great recipe. Restaurant quality. We used a 2.1 lb tenderloin and cut the recipe with 1 C salt, 2 C flour, 2 egg whites and 1/2 C water and that was just enough dough. Definitely worth the time, effort, and money.

Really great. I thought the whole idea looked like a lot of trouble, but it actually was very easy and the meat tasted fantastic. Good to do for a dinner party because of the resting time after you pull it out of the oven.
Ho-o-o-o-o-ly cow this was amazing. So tender and flavorful; we cut it with a fork, unbelievable. We saw Alton make this at a demo in Cleveland and the smell...we had to try it. So glad we did!
I made this recipe with a 2.5 lb. beef tenderloin and it was wonderful! I halved the recipe and used 3 egg whites, but next time I would lower the salt for the dough to 1 cup for a half batch. This made a little extra but was plenty to work with and gave the roast a very tasty herb flavor. I found the dough was not sticky at all, and easy to roll out when you use some extra flour on top.
I can't wait to try this dough recipe with other roasts! Melt-in-your-mouth good! -
Alton, this one is for you too!
I made this variation just last Friday night, and it was P-E-R-F-E-C-T! I have never made tenderloin before, and have possibly never had a better one.
And I consider myself "experienced" when it comes to steak.
This recipe, and experience, will blow your socks off.
Here is the recipe:
Fireplace-Roasted Beef Tenderloin
30 minutes cooking time
3 lb beef tenderloin
Lots of table salt
1 large cotton flour sack dish towel
1 oven mitt
Long handled tongs
Platter and carving surface
1 Dampen the dish towel. (It should be damp, not ringing wet. Spread the towel on the kitchen counter.
2 Lay the tenderloin on the towel a couple of inches from one short end. There should be a couple of inches to each side, as well. Pour some salt over the meat so all surfaces are covered. Take the short end behind the tenderloin and roll it over the meat. Continue to roll the meat in the towel for one turn.
3 Add more salt the length of the tenderloin. Tuck in the ends of the towel and roll again. Continue in the manner until the meat is completely covered by the towel and the salt. Tie the roll in three or more places with kitchen string.
The fire in fireplace should be well under way. It?s handy to have a log placed in the fire to be the place to set the tenderloin to cook.
4 Place the wrapped tenderloin in the fire and cook for 15 minutes. Wearing an oven mitt and using long handled tongs, turn the meat 180 degrees and cook another 15 minutes.
5 Remove the roll to a platter to carry to the carving surface. Cut off the strings; remove towel, and carve into serving portions. Voila!
It was perfectly medium rare in the middle, and the only saltiness was on the crust, and was very welcome. No additional seasoning required.
Serve this with some scalloped potatoes and a light salad with a vinaigrette. Boom! Great dinner :
Erik -
If you haven't tried this you don't know what good eats is. the meat is so tender it cuts witIh a fork I'm not kidding. Next up going to use it with pork tender loin.

Do you know if she had any siblings? There are several others baptisms with the same father and mother to the one I gave you.
KAREN xx
I dont know her parents name, or if she had any siblings
do you have a marriage cert for her? that will at least give you a father's name. dod you know where specifically in galway she was born? or do the census just list ireland or galway?
I`m sorry i dont have her marriage cert. I`ve been unable to get one so far. All the information i have that`s correct is. She was born somewhere in Ireland and married my g-grandfather in Quebec City, Canada on the 2nd December 1856. So i presume she emigrated to Canada sometime before that.
I have her life history after she got married until she died in England in 1902, its the period before that, that`s missing
i don't know if canadian certs have parents on their marriages....i think it depends where in canada they were married. are you able to get a copy of the marriage? maybe a witness could help you?

"Oh, you are so good:" Virtual dog offers "unconditional love" to elderly
Meet GeriJoy. He's a virtual dog. He's a talking dog. He's even described as "a compassionate" dog.
He was developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to be an interactive companion for older people with dementia or memory problems, serving to provide what his makers call "continual stimulation."
We'd be the first to recite all the wondrous things contact with a dog can do for the old, lonely, troubled and institutionalized and, using my own father as an example, we have, repeatedly.
But there's something about GeriJoy, noble as the idea may be, that I find a little bit patronizing, a little bit insulting, and highly phony. His creation also seems an awfully circuitous and robotic route to take to provide a virtual experience with an animated creature when the real thing is so abundantly available.
Clearly, I'm cynical, or at least wary, when it comes to technology — and perhaps more. It was only yesterday, after all, that I cruelly bashed soft and fuzzy stuffed animals.
My point, then and now, is that, unlike with sugar, there is no substitute for the real thing when it comes to dogs.
Despite that, techno-wizards keep trying, intent, it seems, on trying to capture a no-shed, no-drool, no bark, no worries version of dog — be it stuffed, virtual, or mechanical — and then convince you that their inanimate, or animated, object will love you unconditionally forever.
The truth is, close as they might come — and cloning probably comes closest — they never will. Ha ha. Take that.
If GeriJoy, the virtual dog, is making some old person happy, even if it's a delusional kind of happy, we're all for it. If it's being used as a substitute for human attention, we're not. With all the growth in and demands on senior services and facilities for the elderly, there's a tendency to look for quick and easy shortcuts, when the keys to doing job right are already obvious — caring staff, ample staff, staff with hearts.
And maybe some dogs — real dogs.
What I'd rather see is not a nursing home where dozens of residents are lined up in wheelchairs, stroking animated images on their hand held devices, but one that's taking advantage of programs — or even creating some — in which dog ownership among residents is encouraged, and assistance with those dogs is provided; ones where dogs live under communal ownership, or short of that, therapy dogs visit regularly; one that's investing in building a qualified and caring staff, as opposed to investing in devices that substitute for real human, or dog, contact.
Here's how the GeriJoy website touts the product: "Have an older loved one who is lonely and suffers from dementia or geriatric depression? GeriJoy can help. We provide talking pets that are intelligent, compassionate, and available 24/7 to talk about anything, including photos and updates from family."
The virtual dog can be displayed on a computer or other Internet-connected device. The virtual dog, the website claims, "provides all the availability and unconditional love of an adorable pet, combined with the ability to talk with true intelligence and compassion … It's as if it lives inside a picture frame, so you get the benefits of pet therapy without any smells, allergies, cleaning up, bites, or food and veterinary bills."
The virtual dog can provide around the clock stimulation, his developers say, and, in the video snippet above, GeriJoy certainly sounds stimulating, or stimulated, almost orgasmically so. "Oh, you're so good," GeriJoy coos as an elderly man strokes the image on the screen.
We're not sure if that's what GeriJoy told the Senate Special Committee on Aging's Healthy Aging Forum this month when he appeared before it. He'll also be on exhibit at the AARP Health Innovation@50+ Tech Expo on May 31 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, according to the AARP blog.
To get GeriJoy, one must subscribe, and pay from $99 to $129 a month. The hardware costs up to $349 for the most sophisticated, Internet-connected version.
GeriJoy was co-founded by Victor Wang, a former Canadian Army officer who did research on human-machine interaction for NASA while at MIT. He says he was inspired to develop the virtual dog by his grandmother in Taiwan, who became depressed while she was living alone.
Wang says GeriJoy can even serve as a watchdog. In one case, a user's human caregiver was being verbally abusive, and GeriJoy "contacted the user's daughter to let her know about it."
"Whatever your loved one wants to know, the companion can find out and report back," the website says. "It can send and receive messages and photos between you and your loved one, also via the Internet. All this is done through the intuitive metaphor of a talking dog. Your loved one doesn't even need to know what a computer is."
We don't care if the day comes when a virtual dog can cook dinner, push a wheelchair, administer medications or help you understand your health insurance.
A real dog is better — even with his shedding and drooling. Real dogs bring one into, and keep one in, the moment. Real dogs can help you keep a grip on reality, as opposed to pulling you into fantasy land. And real dogs offer a true form of love and validation — even if they can't say, at least with words, "Oh, you are so good."

Deaf N.C. pit bull finds new home with deaf woman in Niagara Falls
A deaf pit bull from North Carolina has a new home with a deaf woman in Niagara Falls.
Jessica Czamara read about Maggie on Facebook after the neglected dog was rescued from a backyard in North Carolina, where she'd been kept chained.
"She was very skinny and you could see her ribs and you could see where she sat all the time on the concrete, said Maria Sansone with Diamonds in the Ruff. "All the hair was worn off of the back of her legs."
A friend of Czamara spotted the dog on the rescue organization's Facebook page, and referred her to the post.
"I feel like I could relate to the dog because I'm deaf, and the dog is deaf," Czamara told WGRZ in Buffalo. "There are some things that the dog does that we do in the deaf community."
Czamara is teaching Maggie commands in sign language and says she's responding well, and Maggie's getting along fine with her other dog, Champ.
"It's amazing," said Kate Stephens with Educate-a-Bull, which assisted in getting Maggie relocated. "It's absolutely amazing to see pictures of her intially and then bring her up on transport and take her out and meet her .. and to see her so well fitted to her new family, her home and her new brother."
Stephens said the dog's former owner had "all but forgotten her and left her out there and hadn't bothered to name her because she was deaf."
Now Maggie's got a name, a home, and a human companion who probably understands her better than most.
"To get her attention, I have to pat her or wave to her," Czamara said. "The same thing with deaf people you have to touch them on the shoulder or wave in their vision. And she's funny and how she plays."
"She's just such a sweet dog. She gives lots of kisses," Czamara said. "She's a great addition to our family."

Toying with your affections: Cute, cuddly, and cheaper than real dog clones
It's a cute and cuddly little idea.
So why does it give me horror-show-like chills?
I was thumbing through the latest issue of The Bark magazine – print version — when I came to a page devoted to spotlighting new products, including "Cuddle Clones, one of a kind plush animals made to look just like your dog! Capture the essence of your dog in this adorable product…"
Having written a book on dog cloning — the kind that takes place in a laboratory, with pet owners paying $100,000 or more to get genetic duplicates of their dogs – Cuddle Clones struck me as far less expensive, less intrusive and much more innocent way to have your pet re-created. Yet the concept was still mildly troubling. Leave it to me to find the ominous in something as harmless as a plush toy.
And then to write about it, as if, behind the toy, there is some deeper meaning to be unearthed.
I think, as with real cloning, there may be — in regards to what it says about the essence of dog, and the essence of us.
For starters, you're not going to recapture the essence of your dog in a stuffed animal, or by stuffing him, or by cloning him.
I'd even go so far to say that, even the most expert of breeders, even if they do manage to ensure many of the same traits are passed from one generation to the next, can't recapture "essence" — a fuzzy term that, in this case, may be most synonymous with "personality" or "soul."
One can breed for looks and traits, but the essence of your dog — what makes him him — is uncapturable. Part of the reason for that, I think, is that what makes him him is all that he has experienced, including, and perhaps in largest part, you.
With cloning — real cloning — I arrived at the point where I viewed it as a selfish pursuit, most popular among wealthy and stubborn people who refuse to to accept that the rules of nature apply to them and their dogs. And I wondered whether, as much as having a dog re-created from a single cell might seem an homage to the original, it's really an insult, like telling your dog, "You're instantly replaceable; I can quite easily, if I pay enough, have another you fashioned in a laboratory."
In reality, the clone, while a living, breathing genetic duplicate, is not the original dog. Though some customers believe otherwise, the original dog's soul does not occupy it anymore than it would a freeze-dried version of his corpse — another alternative for those who insist on keeping a physical, though unmoving, version of their dog around the house.
Cuddle Clones, being toys, are far less creepy — and if it weren't for the name I'd probably have no problem with the product. A plush toy that roughly replicates your living or dead pet is not all that nefarious. And the plush toy company, unlike the real cloning companies, hasn't directed its marketing strictly at bereaved, or soon-to-be-bereaved pet owners.
That does come up, however, in the "Top 10″ reasons the company gives for buying a Cuddle Clone. (Expect to pay $300, or, for a life-sized version, as much as $850, depending on weight.)
Those reasons, according to the Cuddle Clones website, include:
"Your pet is so cute or unique looking that you must clone him or her immediately."
"Your pet has passed away and you miss hugging him or her."
"Your daughter can't bear to leave her best friend behind when she leaves for college or the military."
"You lost the pet custody battle in a breakup."
"You've wanted to scientifically clone your pet for some time now but can't quite afford the $50,000 price tag."
"Cuddle Clones can go places real pets can't go (work, vacation, the grocery store, nursing home)."
Cuddle Clones aren't going to wag their tails (at least not yet), or greet you at the front door. For that you'd require a real clone, though we'd advise against it, even if you do have more money than you know what to do with.
Those are manufactured in South Korea, and the price has dropped from the $150,000 the earliest customers were charged to around $100,000.
(How dog cloning came to be, how it was marketed, and the experiences of the first pet owning customers are detailed in my book, "DOG, INC.: How a Collection of Visionaries, Rebels, Eccentrics and Their Pets Launched the Commerical Dog Cloning Industry.")
Only one South Korean lab is still offering cloning to pet owners, and it's working on broadening its customer base — mostly American — by holding a contest in England that will reward a discounted cloning to the person who has the most "special and inspiring" reason for cloning their dog. Contestants are invited to submit essays, photos and videos, and the winner will get a 70 percent discount on the $100,000 price.
It's sponsored by Sooam Biotech Research Foundation, which is headed by Hwang Woo Suk, the former Seoul National University veterinarian who headed the team that produced the world's first cloned dog, Snuppy. Hwang also claimed to have cloned a line of human embryos, but he was fired after those claims turned out to be fraudulent.
After starting his own lab, Hwang teamed up with an American company that held an online auction for six dog clonings and an essay contest in which a free cloning was awarded to a man who said his former police dog found the last survivor of 9-11.
As dog cloning hit the marketplace — actually doing so before dog had even been cloned — some of those who would become the first recipients of clones were chosen at least in part because of their heartwarming stories, which served to put a warmer, fuzzier face on the cold science of cloning.
Small stuffed dogs, all identical, were handed out as a promotional tool by one of the labs. Customers shared their stories, sometimes in exchange for a discount, and marveled at how much their clones resembled the originals. Then there were the best ambassadors of all — the puppies. Whatever fears and concerns surrounded cloning — from animal welfare issues, to where it will all lead, to the utter lack of government regulation, especially in South Korea — images of nursing and frolicking puppies had a way of pushing them aside.
Cuddle Clones — even just the marriage of those two words — could similarly, if unintentionally, serve to make real cloning more palatable to a public that may not know that dog cloning isn't cute at all.
It involves the use of numerous dogs for egg harvesting. After the cells of the donor dog are merged with those and — with help from an electric jolt – begin dividing, more dogs yet are needed to serve as surrogates. More than 1,000 egg cells were harvested to clone the first dog. While the process has grown far more efficient, multiple attempts are still required to ensure an exact lookalike is born — into a world where dogs are routinely put down because of overpopulation.
The American company selling clonings — all carried out by Sooam – later shut down for reasons that included concerns about whether proper animal welfare protocols were being followed in the South Korean labs. RNL Bio, the company that cloned the first dog for a customer, has stepped away from dog cloning, citing negative public opinion as one factor.
But canine clones are still being churned out at Sooam, and the price — once $150,000 a shot — is continuing to drop, meaning more people will be able to afford a laboratory-produced replica of their dog.
For those who can't, there are Cuddle Clones – soft and huggable plushies, filled with synthetic fabrics, that seem to send the message that clones are adorable.
And clones may be just that – both the real ones and the stuffed ones.
Dog cloning, though, when it comes to the process, is not so pretty, not so heartwarming, and not so cuddly.
You might even say – though it would be too late — that it's nothing to toy with.

Homeless man reunited with his pit bull
James Bryan says in recent years he has lost his farm, home, wife and most of his personal belongings.
The only real piece of his previous life the homeless Florida man still had was his dog, a blue pit bull named Handover.
On the morning of May 8, he woke up — along U.S. 19 in Hudson — to find Handover was gone, too.
The dog was gift, five years ago, from his now ex-wife. She was holding the dog and asked Bryan what they should name him. Bryan said, "Hand him over."
"He is my best friend. He's my heart and soul," Bryan told ABC Action News, which last week picked up on the story about the missing dog. "If anybody sees him, please bring him home."
As word spread about the missing dog, Carolyn Texter, who knew Handover and Bryan from her work with animal rescues, decided to help.
Texter started a Facebook page to find Handover, and a reward fund established for his safe return grew to $1,000. Yesterday, Handover was found and, after a visit to a vet for a check-up and microchipping, reunited with Bryan.
Texter described him as "speechless" and thankful for all the help he'd received.

Does doggy bling date to prehistoric times?
A new study suggests the earliest domestic dogs weren't just kept for hunting and protection, but for loving — a premise supported by evidence that some prehistoric pet owners actually outfitted their dogs in bling, if not before death, at least after it.
An analysis of ancient dog burials, published in PLoS ONE, found that deceased dogs were often laid to rest not just with respect, but with toys and ornaments, Jennifer Viegas reports on Discovery.com.
The findings show that, at least as recently as 10,000 years ago, dogs were valued for more than their ability to stand sentry and track game.
The researchers also say the earliest dog lovers were fish-eaters, and held spiritual beliefs. Subsisting on diets rich in seafood, they apparently didn't rely on dogs to help them find dinner, or as dinner.
"Dog burials appear to be more common in areas where diets were rich in aquatic foods because these same areas also appear to have had the densest human populations and the most cemeteries," Robert Losey, lead author of the study told Discovery News.
"If the practice of burying dogs was solely related to their importance in procuring terrestrial game, we would expect to see them in the Early Holocene (around 9,000 years ago), when human subsistence practices were focused on these animals," Losey, a University of Alberta anthropologist, added. "Further, we would expect to see them in later periods in areas where fish were never really major components of the diet and deer were the primary focus, but they are rare or absent in these regions."
For the study, Losey's team researched dog burials worldwide, but focused particularly on ones located in Eastern Siberia. The earliest known domesticated dog was found there, dating to 33,000 years ago. Dog burials in the region are more recent, going back about 10,000 years.
They found that dogs were sometimes buried with meaningful items, sometimes even their human, showing that man's bond with dog — while it may be ever-strengthening — goes way, way back.
According to the Discovery report:
"…One dog, for example, was laid to rest "much like it is sleeping." A man was buried with two dogs, one carefully placed to the left of his body, and the other to the right. A dog was buried with a round pebble, possibly a toy or meaningful symbol, placed in its mouth. Still other dogs were buried with ornaments and implements, such as spoons and stone knives.
"One of the most interesting burials contains a dog wearing a necklace made out of four red deer tooth pendants. Such necklaces appear to have been a fashion and/or symbolic trend at the time, since people wore them too."
The researchers found that most of the dog burials in the area occurred during the Early Neolithic era, about 8,000 years ago.

Out from the tornado debris, it's Bowsie!
Standing amid the devastation in Moore, Oklahoma, Barbara Garcia was being interviewed by a TV reporter when the dog she thought she lost to a tornado stuck his nose out from under the flattened remains of her home.
Garcia was recounting sitting in her bathroom with her dog in her lap when the twister hit, and how, just minutes later, she was picking herself up out of the debris.
"[The house] was there, and it was gone…. I had some stuff on top of me and I started wigglin'."
Her injuries weren't too severe, but her dog was gone.
"I hollered for my little dog, and, he didn't answer. He didn't come," Garcia told KWTV News 9 reporter Anna Werner.
"So, I know he's in here somewhere," she added, pointing to the pile of debris, and not sounding optimistic about his survival.
About then the reporter spotted the dog's head sticking out of the rubble.
"The dog! The dog! The dog! Hi, puppy!" Werner said as she stooped down to pet Bowsie, a Scottish Terrier.
"Oh, Oh, Bowsie. Oh, Bowsie, bless your little bitty heart," Garcia said as she and the reporter pulled some crumpled metal off the dog, allowing him to wiggle his way out of the debris.
"Well, I thought that God had just answered one prayer, to let me be OK," Garcia said. "But he answered both of them."

Did the scent of sizzling bacon draw missing pit bull puppy back to her foster home?
A pit bull puppy, still recovering from being abused by dogfighters, ran off from her foster home in New Jersey, but she was apparently drawn back by the smell of bacon.
Or it could have been the love.
Misty, only nine months old, was found on a Brooklyn street corner earlier this month, covered in wounds and bites from being used as a bait dog.
She was placed in a city shelter, then pulled by Second Chance Rescue, which moved her into a foster home. On Friday, she escaped from the backyard of that home.
Friends and neighbors joined in on the weekend-long search. Thousands of flyers were posted, and a $2,000 reward was offered. More than $4,500 was quickly raised to help in the search, and more than 14,000 people had, by Monday, "liked" her Facebook page.
But it was bacon — not social media — that apparently led to her safe return.
"The whole thing is unbelievable," Misty's foster mom, Erin Early-Hamilton, told NJ.com.
When someone suggested slapping some bacon on the backyard grill to lure the dog home, Early-Hamilton — despite being a vegan — was willing to give it a try.
She was sitting in a chair, and her husband was at the grill, when Misty came wandering home around 2 p.m. Monday.

Woof in Advertising: Trifexis
This ad for Trifexis depicts a dog living in a bubble — albeit it one that's outside and has plenty of tubes to run around in.
It serves to protect him from heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, flea infestations and all those other frightening hazards that exist in that place where dogs, for centuries, managed to survive:
What we find most interesting about it, though, are the disclaimers, which seem to have risen with doggie prescription drugs to the same level they have with human ones, where three-fourths of the advertisement are devoted to a listing of potential scary side effects, quickly recited in monotone, in hopes you — or your dog — won't really hear them.
With Trifexis, it goes like this: "Treatment with fewer than three monthly doses after the last exposure to mosoquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention. The most common adverse reactions were vomiting, itching and lethargy. Serious adverse reactions have been reported following concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin with spinosad alone, one of the components of Trifexis."
On top of the warnings recited, more appear in small print during the ad:
"To ensure parasite protection, observe your dog for one hour after administration."
"If vomiting occurs within an hour of administration, give another full dose."
"Puppies less than 14 weeks of age may experience a higher rate of vomiting."
In their print ads, the makers of Trifexis additionally advise the drug be used with caution in breeding females, and in dogs with epilepsy. Its use in breeding males has not been evaluated. Print ads also list lethargy, depression, decreased appetite and diarrhea as possible side effects.
The chewable, beef-flavored tablets — administered once a month – are a combination of spinosad and milbemycin oxime, and they serve to prevent heartworm disease, kill fleas and prevent infestations and treat hookworm, roundworm and whipworm infections.
The tagline for the ad is "You don't have to go to extremes to protect your dog from parasites."
Apparently you do, though, if you're selling prescription drugs — for canines or humans — to protect your ass from lawsuits.

Together again: Dog and Marine reunited
Marine Sgt. Ross Gundlach, while serving in Afghanistan, made a promise to Casey, the explosive-detecting yellow Lab who worked alongside him.
"I promised her if we made it out of alive, I'd do whatever it took to find her," Gundlach said.
Gundlach, after completing his military service and enrolling at the University of Wisconsin, managed to find out that Casey had finished her military service and been sent to work for the state of the Iowa, detecting explosives.
Knowing it was probably just the first round of a long bureaucratic battle, Gundlach wrote to State Fire Marshal Director Ray Reynolds, explaining the connection he felt with the four-year-old dog who'd been both lifesaver and companion. Gundlach wears a tattoo on his right forearm depicting Casey with angel wings and a halo.
Governments being governments, whether they're state or federal, you'd expect Gundlach's plea to get bounced around, filed away or heartlessly overlooked.
But, as reported by the Associated Press, things happened quickly.
"He's been putting a case together for the last two months, sending me pictures," Reynolds said. " … It just tugged on your heart."
Reynolds got in touch with the Iowa Elk's Association, and it agreed to donate $8,500 to buy another dog for the fire marshal's office.
Then, he got in touch with Gundlach, telling him that he needed to come to the state Capitol in Des Moines on Friday to plead his case before a "bureaucratic oversight committee."
Gundlach, 25, showed up with his parents.
Reynolds told Gundlach the meeting had been delayed, but invited he and his parents to attend an Armed Services Day celebration in the rotunda.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers, military personnel and civilians were already there, and knew — unlike Gundlach — what was about to happen.
That's when Casey appeared.
A ceremony was held in which Gov. Terry Branstad officially retired Casey from active duty, thanking her for "a job well done."
Casey was given to Gundlach, who put his head in his hands and cried.
"It was a total surprise," he said. "I owe her. I'll just try to give her the best life I can." During the 150 missions they performed together, Gundlach said Casey never missed an explosive. He credits her for making it back home safely. "I wouldn't be here … any kids I ever had wouldn't exist if Casey hadn't been here," he said.
His father, Glen Gundlach, seemed just as surprised.
"It's unbelievable," he said. "The state of Iowa, I love 'em."

Dog left tied to train tracks finds new home
A dog left tied to train tracks in California last month has found a new home.
Unlike that day last month, when he was secured to the tracks in the path of an oncoming train, he had many options to choose from.
Officials at Riverside County's Department of Animal Services said they received more than 1,300 emails from people interested in adopting the rescued dog they dubbed Banjo. He was found by a Union Pacific crew in Mecca, where he'd been tied to the rails by a man who told authorities the dog was no longer wanted.
The 11-month-old poodle-terrier mix went home Friday with Jeff and Louisa Moore of Huntington Beach.
"He's so beautiful isn't he?" Louisa (above) said to her husband, holding Banjo in her arms for the first time.
Letters of interest came in from as far away as England and Puerto Rico, but animal services officials said the Moores were chosen because they constantly checked in on Banjo via e-mail and live close to the beach and a dog park.
Jeff Moore said he and his wife applied to adopt Banjo after seeing his story on the news and Facebook.
"Tonight we're just going to go home and hang out," Jeff told the Desert Sun in Palm Beach. "We have a big field that's right next to our place that about a dozen of us all go out with our dogs, and they all get along really well, so it'll be fun introducing him to all the dogs. I'm sure they'll love him."
Before the couple left, Jo Marie Upegui, a veterinarian technician at Coachella Valley Animal Campus, explained to them that Banjo liked tortillas and snuggling on the couch and that he feared brooms and men in uniform.
The Moores, who also have a Tibetan terrier named Lali, said they planed to create a Facebook page to keep those interested up to date on Banjo's new life.
Banjo's name refers to old traffic signals on rail lines. He was discovered when a westbound train crew noticed a hunched-over man walking away from the tracks, leaving the dog behind. The crew alerted dispatchers, who stopped the eastbound train coming down the tracks to which Banjo was tied.
A 78-year-old man was questioned, but not charged. He appeared confused and possibly suffering from dementia. He told investigators his family no longer wanted the dog and didn't know what to do with him.

How Get Rid Tattoo Works?
Tattoos' insoluble pigments are buried within the inner layers of the skin. This appears under a microscope as tiny granules of color (pigment). These granules are located in a skin cell known as a macrophage. Macrophages normally remove foreign objects (for example, bacteria) from the body. The pigment, grit or carbon powder that has caused the tattoo 'freezes' the macrophage cell so that it can't do its job. As a result, the pigment remains in the skin and the tattoo becomes permanent.
However, the natural products in Get Rid TattooTM will activate the Macrophage skin cell within first month of treatment and will gradually start to fade the tattoo pigments naturally by breaking them down into tiny ink particles. The Tattoo will then fade over a series of treatments and the ink fragments are carried away by the body's lymphatic system.
Get Rid Tattoo is a no fluff, no BS, tattoo removal guide that contains everything you need to know
to get rid of your embarrassing unwanted tattoos once and for all.

More warrants unsealed in case against doctor accused of sex assault (document)
MIDDLETOWN — Three more warrants were unsealed Wednesday in the case against a Clinton doctor accused of sexually assaulting his patients.
Tory Westbrook, 43, 1107 Manchester Road, Glastonbury, is charged with 25 counts of fourth-degree sexual assault, eight counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of illegal sale of narcotics.
Westbrook was arrested June 5 after three patients from the Community Health Center in Clinton came forward with complaints against him. Three more victims stepped forward later that month.
Westbrook pleaded not guilty to seven counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of fourth-degree sexual assault on July 17.
In one of the original warrants released Wednesday, Westbrook is charged with five counts of second-degree sexual assault. The victim in that case is a 36-year-old woman who reported to police that she had been sexually assaulted by Westbrook from October 2011 through January 2012.
The victim said she had gone in for pelvic pain in October and told Westbrook she was having problems with lactating. Westbrook allegedly made the victim show him her breasts and lactate, then did an internal exam of the victim that she described as moving his fingers in and out, in a "non-medical way," hurting her according to the warrant. She told him it hurt and asked him to stop, according to the warrant.
The victim returned for prescription refills and continued pain and each time Westbrook allegedly performed an internal exam the victim said was "for his sexual gratification," according to the warrant.
Westbrook New Warrant
Westbrook never diagnosed her with any condition, but kept prescribing strong pain medications, occasionally upping the dosage, the victim told police. She also said that on at least two visits, Westbrook had his cell phone out and she was concerned he may have taken pictures of her.
Westbrook is also accused of throwing a urine sample at the victim in front of other people in a waiting room after she did not give enough of a sample, according to the warrant. Continued...
The victim also told police she met with the office manager and Westbrook and confronted the doctor for being disrespectful.
The victim eventually sought out another OB/GYN and told her new doctor what had happened with Westbrook. The doctor told the victim that was not going to happen again.
Police confirmed with other doctors the victim saw that what Westbrook is accused of doing had no medical purpose.
Correction: In an earlier version of the story it was incorrectly reported that Westbrook pleaded guilty to seven counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of fourth-degree sexual assault on July 17. He pleaded not guilty to those charges. We regret the error.

Technical Abstract: Expanded perlite has long been used as an amendment in container mediums because of its ability to add air space to container substrates without adding to bulk density or affecting substrate pH and EC. However, due to increased restrictions on the harvesting of peat, as well as fluctuations in fuel prices necessary for shipping, the future availability of peat is a largely unknown factor in greenhouse production. Additionally, growers consider perlite to be a general nuisance due to the lung and eye irritation problems. These studies evaluated three possible substrate alternatives for use in greenhouse products, including fresh sweetgum (SG), hickory (H), and eastern redcedar (RC). Three greenhouse annual crops (petunia, impatiens, and vinca) were planted in varying ratios of these three wood species mixed with peat. Plants grown with SG and H as amendments did not perform as well as a traditional peat:perlite mix with respect to flower number, growth indices, SPAD values, and PDW. However, plants grown in RC tended to be equivalent to those grown in a traditional mix. Data indicated that increasing fertility rate had no effect on plant production. Data showed that greenhouse producers could amend their standard greenhouse substrate with up to 50% eastern redcedar with little to no differences in plant growth and overall aesthetic quality.

Finite element analysis has been used within the realm of geotechnical engineering for some time. Universities and various specialist organisations now have experts in this field. More recently, however, there have been significant increases in the availability and affordability of computer power, and a proliferation of finite element packages that are relatively easy to use thus drastically reducing the learning curve for a novice user. This combined with the increased pressure for ever more efficient structures is leading to the use of finite element analysis becoming far more widespread.
This book is intended to be an introductory text for new users of the software, many of whom will fall into one of two groups. Those who have a wealth of geotechnical engineering experience, but are relative novices in the art of numerical analysis and "young engineers" who have recently graduated from University and have typically spent a short time since graduation performing linear static finite element analysis. Some basic geotechnical aspects have been described and a glossary summarising the geotechnical terms (shown in bold italics) used in this booklet has been included. However, non-geotechnical engineers are advised to refer to other texts for a more detailed description.
Potentially there is a dangerous consequence of software becoming too easy to use in that such packages may be used completely as a "black box" without some knowledge of the underlying mechanics. As such, it is recognised that a need to understand the principles of the finite element method is required to help analysts in converting a real world problem into a representative finite element model. The aim of this booklet is to fulfill that need. It is assumed that the reader understands a little Finite Element jargon, including the terms such as node, element etc. If this is not the case, the reader is strongly advised to refer to other booklets such as 'How to get started with Finite Elements', 'How to model with Finite Elements' and 'How to understand Finite Element Jargon'.

2. Background
3. Approaches For Geotechnical Analysis
4. Geotechnical Concepts
5. Modelling Concepts

Spring 2012-2013 Prof. Bernd Girod Course Description Visual information plays an important role in almost all areas of our life. Today, much of this information is represented and processed digitally. Digital image processing is ubiquitous, with applications ranging from television to tomography, from photography to printing, from robotics to remote sensing. EE368/CS232 is a graduate-level introductory course to the fundamentals of digital image processing. It emphasizes general principles of image processing, rather than specific applications. We expect to cover topics such as point operations, color processing, image thresholding/segmentation, morphological image processing, image filtering and deconvolution, eigenimages, noise reduction and restoration, scale-space techniques, feature extraction and recognition, image registration, and image matching. Lectures will be complemented by computer exercises where students develop their own image processing algorithms. For the term project, students will have the option of designing and implementing image processing algorithms on an Android mobile device. Enrollment is limited to 50 students. Expect EE368/CS232 to be offered each quarter in the next academic year as part of the EE Online departmental initiative. Recent Updates

Palm Beach County Protects Gender Identity And Expression In Contracts | The Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners voted 6-1 yesterday to broaden its Nondiscrimination in Contracting Policy to include protections based on "gender identity or expression." The County will now refuse to conduct business with any business that discriminates against the LGBT community. The lone "no" vote, Commissioner Steven Abrams, said he worried that fewer businesses will bid on county projects, but this is unlikely considering Palm Beach County already prohibits employment discrimination based on gender identity and expression.
