I ran in to an issue where i needed to re-install the touchsmart software that came with my hp iq 506. I ran in to an article where a person had the same issue for a later model of the touchsmart. Here's the solution (should work for any model).
(note, a lot of this is taken verbatim from emmanuel's blog, thank you emmanuel.. i am rewriting with updated instructions)
- Step 1 – Download the following files
- sp37504.exe – this is the original installation package for the HP TouchSmart software. HP seems to have removed it from its support website, but some posted it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nyzlcwmmzaw (note: I don't know how long this file will be available, but then again, the same could be said about any file from the HP website).
- sp44428.exe -
HP TouchSmart Music/Photo/Video Application Update 2009-10-15 , Version:18.104.22.16828, 158.21M HP TouchSmart Music/Photo/Video application update resolves an issue with the application missing after using the HP Upgrade Assistant.
click here to get this one from the HP support site.
- sp44354.exe -
HP TouchSmart Notes Application Update 2009-10-27 , Version:3.0.3462.28879, 19.24M HP TouchSmart Notes application update adds support for Notes after upgrading to Windows 7 operating system.
click here to get this one from the HP support site.
- Step 2 – Extract the files using WinRAR
- If you try to install the HP TouchSmart software on Windows 7 or other operating systems, the HP installer may give you the following message:
- For this reason, you need to extract the installation files from the downloaded installer. To extract the installation files, you can use any program that extracts .RAR files. I suggest the excellent 7-Zip Portable from http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable
- Once you've extracted the files, you can now run the MSI installers. On Windows 7, I found it was a bit different for each of the packages, so let's do it (theoretically) one by one.
- Step 3 – install the packages above using the extracted installers
- Once you've extracted the sp37504.exe file, open windows explorer to \Source\hp\tmp\src. For example, if I had used 7-Zip to extract sp37504.exe to the folder:
I would (theoretically) navigate windows explorer to:
You can then double click on the SetupHPTouchSmart.msi file to start the installation. Follow the prompts and once the installer is finished, you would theoretically now be able to run the HP TouchSmart software!
Here's a theoretical Windows 7 start menu with an entry for the "HP TouchSmart" software.
Next, do the same and extract the installation files using 7-Zip for the two other packages:
- sp40893.exe – the HP TouchSmart Music/Photo/Video Application Update
Update: if you have Windows 7 build 7000 or above, you can simply run hp\tmp\src\setup.exe
- sp40894.exe – the latest HP TouchSmart software update
- Just like above, run the \src\src\SetupHPTouchSmart.msi file from wherever you extracted the contents of sp40894.exe
After all packages are installed, here's what the "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features" page would theoretically look like in Windows 7 Ultimate:
Notice the versions of the HP TouchSmart software components: 184.108.40.206 and 2.5.2103 for the Music/Photo/Video update.
You can (theoretically) install other updates from the HP support site in a similar way – for example sp40891.exe contains the "Calendar Update" and sp37392.exe contains drivers for the keyboard and ACPI. Here's the list of all of the updates I theoretically would have downloaded and extracted:
Theoretically you would create one folder per
driver or application update found on the HP
support site and then extract each update into each folder
Of course, these are theoretical tips – why would we want to re-install software we bought on the same machine HP sold us?

Caseville School nets $90,000 grant for high school laptops
Published 8:00 pm, Sunday, April 16, 2006
CASEVILLE Upper elementary and junior high students in this school district already are already using laptops in their classrooms, and now high school students will join them thanks to a $90,000 grant from the Freedom to Learn Project.
Caseville Public School was among the 28 percent of the applicants who received a total of $2.1 million in funding for the innovative project.
Caseville High School students will start using their wireless laptops in the 2006-07 school year.
In addition to the $90,000, tens of thousands of dollars in software, professional development, field services, and project evaluation services are included. Hewlett Packard is providing wireless connectivity.
Freedom to Learn, a project of the state department of education, allows schools to tie todays school curriculum with up-to-date technology and the ability to explore the world with the click of a button.
The grant now places us in the good company of a handful of schools statewide that engage their students in one-to-one computing from grade five through grade 12, said Superintendent Dr. Dan Tighe in a press release. Moving Michigans nationally recognized Freedom to Learn program into high school is powerful recognition that technology can be the way schools enter the 21st century.
Tighe said he believes the future of delivering education in schools involves laptops, and he said this will change the way teachers educate.
Funny as it may seen, this award is not about computers, Tighe said. Its about teaching and learning. It is about what we can do with computers to improve the way we go about educating todays young people for their futures. Good teachers teach differently when they have powerful technology in their hands, and students increase time on learning tasks.
With the new technology, students will be able to access the Internet for research from anywhere in the school building. They can send homework to teachers via Gaggle (a teacher-friendly version of the popular Hotmail and Yahoo e-mail). Students can take teacher-made tests on-line and even find their work evaluated in a shorter period of time. On the other hand, teachers can create on-line assignments and tests and even monitor students while they work online. Teachers also can direct individual student work completely confidentially. On-line class discussions, using the interactive software called Discourse, can be conducted. Each students response is sent to the teachers computer. Teachers respond to all students, raising overall accountability.
Increasing teacher efficiency can be accomplished by replacing an old way of doing things: hand-grading tests. Objective tests can be evaluated the instant they are submitted to the teacher, using a Microsoft management program called Class Server. One Caseville teacher said this saves her 85 minutes each time she administers a vocabulary test to her four sections of students. Tighe said the school boards commitment to the integration of technology is the solid base for moving ahead with student laptops. In 2005-06, the board combined the districts own funds with an earlier Freedom to Learn grant received by the school for its sixth grade, thereby launching individualized computing in grades five through eight.
Recent site visits by Freedom to Learn assessors created outstanding support for our work in the middle grades, said English Language Arts teacher Kathleen Tighe. I believe what they saw was a group of teachers who were willing to make use of every dollar of the grant money.
Computer/robotics teacher Cheryl Wascher, home economics teacher Deb Fritz, mathematics teacher Bob Merlington, and fourth grade teacher Patrick Brannan were among the observed middle grades professionals, Tighe said.
For the 2006-07 school year, the school board will commit another $40,000 in addition to the $90,000 Freedom to Learn funds to guarantee the successful implementation of its high school technology initiative.
How could we not do this? said Board President Brian Denhoff. This puts us at the top of the technology pole in Huron County, and if we looked closer, we are probably tracking with the best across the state.
Caseville High School Principal Ken Ewald called the grant fantastic.
Students will have a great experience with these computers, he said.
Ewald said Freedom to Learn was a focus at a recent principals conference.
People wanted this for their schools. And now, our students will benefit from the enhanced learning that occurs because now each student will have access in ways not possible without technology. Students, regardless of their previous accomplishments, will have a great opportunity to move ahead assisted by first rate technology.
Tighe said when high school students heard theyd be using laptops in the classroom, a common response was, Sweet!
The comment may be an adolescent understatement, but visible and intense engagement with the new technology is not, he said.

The FBI has taken over the investigation surrounding Hillary Clinton's emails. And while Hillary may think she has nothing to hide among the emails she's sent or received, her staff members can't say the same.
Even if some of us are starting to get tired of hearing about her damn emails, it may not be what we find in her emails that ends up making headlines.
Via HotAir:
The increased public awareness of federal law enforcement being involved has some of the main players on edge. And one of those is long time Hillary aide, Huma Abedin. She recently confessed to being terrified of all her communications being under the magnifying glass.
Huma Abedin hasn't freshly read any of her email exchanges with Hillary Clinton that have been released by the State Department, but the longtime Clinton aide said it is "terrifying" to know that the messages are out there.
"It's something I can't really think about, but I can't even imagine what's in those emails. But I'm sure I would probably be mortified. I have no idea. I haven't read any of them," Abedin, who served as one of Clinton's top aides at State, said in an interview with the podcast "Call Your Girlfriend."
If Abedin is "terrified" I can't imagine what demons are chasing Hillary Clinton through her dreams. Thus far Huma has been a loyal foot soldier, defending the boss at every turn. But it sounds like she at least has something of an idea of what might be included in those 22 Top Secret emails and her fingerprints are likely on them too.
Best-case scenario is that only some embarrassing personal details are leaked. If anything found within those emails indicts Hillary, Sanders will have to appreciate just how wrong he was to divert attention from them last year.

CARDINALS 5, GIANTS 4: Bullpen shines as St. Louis pulls within 2-1 in NLCS.
By KEVIN KELLY, Times Staff Writer
© St. Petersburg Times, published October 13, 2002
SAN FRANCISCO -- The blame is not Reggie Sanders' alone.
It's just that his performance in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday at Pacific Bell Park summarized San Francisco's effort in a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Sanders twice came up with the bases loaded and an opportunity to give San Francisco a lead. Both times he failed to get a hit.
"I'm probably putting too much pressure on myself," said Sanders, hitless this series. "I think I'm just too aggressive up there."
More than the revamped St. Louis lineup that produced three homers and the spotless effort by the Cardinals bullpen, the Giants missed a chance to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series because they couldn't capitalize when it counted most before a sellout of 42,177.
"We just couldn't get that big hit today," manager Dusty Baker said.
The Giants went 0-for-5 with the bases loaded, leaving the bases full in the first, second and seventh innings, and were 4-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
"You can't expect us to go out every day and get six base hits in a row, or everybody getting two-out RBI hits. It's not going to happen all the time," San Francisco shortstop Rich Aurilia said. "Today it didn't happen for us.
"We didn't play a bad game. We played a pretty good ballgame. We just didn't capitalize on some opportunities."
After St. Louis was outscored 13-7 in the first two games of the series, manager Tony La Russa revised his lineup. The most significant changes were moving Edgar Renteria to second in the batting order and inserting Eli Marrero back into the lineup in place of former Ray Miguel Cairo.
The changes worked. Renteria got an RBI with a sacrifice fly in the third, and Marrero hit the winning home run.
"We didn't anticipate leaving St. Louis down two," catcher Mike Matheny said. "But we came in here and we knew that we had to turn it around in a hurry."
Cheered in the dugout by Darryl Kile's 5-year-old son Kannon, St. Louis got homers from Matheny in the fourth, centerfielder Jim Edmonds in the fifth and leftfielder Marrero in the sixth.
Dave Veres, Steve Kline, Rick White and Jason Isringhausen pitched four scoreless innings of relief.
"They shut us down," Baker said of the Cardinals bullpen. "But like I said, we had a bunch of opportunities. They just managed to get out of trouble."
The Giants left the bases loaded in the first and second, going 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position and managing just one run despite sloppy defensive play by the Cardinals.
Aurilia put the Giants ahead 1-0 with a sacrifice fly in the second, but St. Louis took its first lead of the series in a two-run third against Giants starter Russ Ortiz, who was pulled with one out in the fifth and the Cardinals ahead 4-1.
The Giants tied it in the fifth with a clutch three-run homer by leftfielder Barry Bonds.
Bonds' fourth homer of the postseason landed in McCovey Cove beyond the rightfield wall, but Marrero sailed his homer over Bonds' head and into the leftfield seats to reclaim the lead.
"It was an awesome home run in a key situation," Sanders said of Bonds' homer. "We got the momentum back to where we needed it to be. But then they came back out and answered."
The Giants, who had the bases loaded and one out but failed to score in the seventh, lead the series 2-1 and can clinch their first World Series berth since 1989 at home by winning the next two.
St. Louis' task remains much tougher, as only the '85 Cardinals and '84 Padres have won the NLCS after losing the first two, but those in the clubhouse were confident it can happen again.
"I knew we had to win this game today to make it a series," La Russa said. "You go down 3-0, we would be brave and all that stuff out here (today), but it would have been really tough."

Ah, a week ago the cool crisp air of Fall snuck in on us. We turned off the air conditioner and fans, opened the windows and let Mother Nature do her thang, thang to cool the home oh natural. Then BAM – she was all like, "Oh, Summer I am not done with you yet! What were you thinking girl?"
I like to think Mother Nature is a virtual woman with high heels, long nails and serious attitude.
So, now it is HOT. It is humid. And, my dear little Lo is constantly sticky and sweaty from running in these temps.
Here is the thing, Mother Nature is going to snap her fingers with those long red nails and Fall is going to return. While shopping for leggings, boots and sweaters may make you cringe as you fight the beads of sweat that drip from your face, now is the time to snag those adorable fall outfits.
And, by adorable, I am talking about kids clothes. We do it all for the kids, people. Right? RIGHT!
My Lo girl has no idea how much time I spend looking through retailers websites and racks for her. I am the type of shopper that buys pieces. A piece here, a piece there and soon an outfit is created. To help you and even me, I styled from my favorite retailers and created the Toddler Fall Fashion Round-Ups below.
Hat – 10.00 | Dress – 12.55 | Fur Vest – 22.00 | Boots – 26.94 | Jeans – 11.84

To the editor:
When I first saw the photo in the lower right corner of July 4 Journal-World titled "Prison support," I was hopeful that it was a story about increasing educational programs or medical care in prisons. It being the Fourth of July, I was thinking that the story would be one of American compassion, giving some seriously needed attention to the prison system.
I was appalled to read that "Prison support" actually meant a proposal to build $410 million worth of additional prison space, backed by Boyda, Moore and Brownback. It seems that both parties have now learned how to solidify that "tough on crime" image they all seem to be going for: Put MORE people in prison! Yeah, that's the American spirit!
Almost 70 percent of prisoners released from prison reoffend in three years or less. The lack of adequate education, mental health care, and drug/life counseling while in prison are the obvious reasons behind these repeat offenses. Take that $410 million and invest in these programs and I guarantee that we won't even have a need to build onto the prison.
To Boyda, Moore, and Brownback: This Independence Day, you have sacrificed your opportunity to help make our country better. You could have helped improve the future of thousands of inmates and, by doing so, made our society safer and more productive upon their release. And you have done this for the sake of your political image. I am shocked by and ashamed of you if this is your idea of "American."

In this, the second in the Beast Quest series, Tom and Elenna go on an exciting adventure to find Sepron the Sea Serpent and free it from an evil curse which the bad wizard Malvel put on it. In this thrilling book Tom battles with the sea serpent - will he succeed in this underwater quest to defeat the evil wizard's plans?
Sepron is a very scary beast, I like him very much. He's the scariest monster I have seen so far in the Beast Quest books apart from Torgor the Minotaur [Beast Quest Number 13].
In each of the Beast Quest books Malvel just leaves Tom and Elenna to fight the beasts, I think he should do more to try to stop them. Maybe he could put protective spells around the beasts, which Tom and Elenna can only break by cracking a really difficult code.
I really like the illustrations in this book; they look really cool and are very detailed.
This book is pretty exciting. I am actually on number 13 of the Beast Quest series. I don't think this is quite as good as the later Beast Quest books in which Tom has golden armour to help him; they just seem to get better and better.

Ryan Gosling, one of our AT faves ringing in the New Year with Dexter babe Jaime Murray.
The two celebrated 2010 at Lavo nightclub at the Palazzo, in Las Vegas, and continued the party together well past 2 a.m....
The yum-bum pair was spotted chatting closely at Lavo alongside a "very single" Deryck Whibley (Avril Lavigne's ex-hubby), model Devon Aoki, and Wilmer Valderrama.
Everyone knows five is a crowd, so Gosling, Murray, Whibley and Aoki left around 2 to continue the party over at Tao in the Venetian.
No word on whether the party of four split off into more private parties of two, but let's hope one of those babes started '10 off right by devouring our Ry-Ry!
A much tamer pair ringing in the New Year was...
Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera, hosting the fab NYE bash at Lavo. The two moms hardly put the sin in Sin City, though.
Nicole and Joel Madden arrived in Vegas that Thursday afternoon, and hightailed it back to L.A. early Friday morning.
The new mother of two spilled that she didn't want to be away from her kids for too long, so after Joel's DJ set at the packed nightclub the two hit the road shortly after midnight. Christina and hubby Jordan Bratman stayed awhile longer and enjoyed their night at Lavo after their midnight smooch.
As for New Year's resolutions, Nicole aims to be the best version of herself and "grow gracefully."
A dude who should maybe make some similar resolutions is...
Jamie Foxx, who was getting slightly sleazy in South Beach. Foxx rang in the New Year at Club 50, the Lopez-Anthonys' fave spot at the Viceroy Miami.
He was there with about 20 people, friends and fam, but without a special lady to kiss at midnight. Don't think that stopped the foxy Foxx, 'tho.
"He was kinda kissing everyone and using his handheld video camera to record the night," spills a fellow clubber.
Sky Nellor was at the DJ booth, and Jamie kept asking her to play more hip-hop and "more of his songs."
Unfortunately for the actor slash rapper, she didn't have any Foxx on hand...so he started downloading some for her!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) The Knox County School system is implementing new software to track exactly where school buses are driving during the day.
The software uses the same technology as a cell phone for GPS tracking, so it can locate a school bus to within only a few feet of where it is.
Transportation Director Rick Grubb said the software is meant to be a resource for parents to help improve the safety of their kids, as well as a means to save some money for the district.
"They can watch their child's bus in real time," Grubb said. "They can see if the bus has made the stop in the morning, that it arrived at school, and when it arrived at school; when it left school, and when it arrived to stop in the afternoon."
Dr. Grubb said this is a new system that no other school district in East Tennessee uses, and said it's likely that Knox County is the first in the state to have it. Because of that, he said there may be some kinks to work out as parents start to use it, but adds that's to be expected.
"We don't know how it's going to work when we put it out to over 40,000 eligible bus riders. We don't know what happens if 2,000 people log on it at once. We don't know," he said.
With this past winter's snow storm, parent Dawn Williams had an issue with her kids' bus driver. She said he had dropped her sons off where he wasn't supposed to, and she didn't know where they were. She's hoping this new software will keep that from happening again.
"That way there's no question as to where my children are, and no question as to why the bus driver would drop them off somewhere where they weren't supposed to be dropped off at," Williams said.
Grubb said the software is not an app that can be downloaded, it's only accessible by logging in through the school system's website. It also assumes that kids will get on the correct bus and get off at the correct drop off.
It's also a way the schools are tracking to see exactly how long a route takes, so if time can be saved on a route, the district can save some money.
"What used to take 10 buses, may take nine buses. And that's a $40,000 savings. So that's how it pays for itself," Grubb said.
The schools already pay the software designer a monthly fee for software, this tracking system is just an added feature that has been recently designed. Grubb said because of that, this tracking won't cost any extra money than what's already being spent. He also said this tracking system does not track the individual child, just the bus he or she is supposed to be on. It also has several levels of security built in so only parents can track the bus their child is on.

Keywords: Morphology, Bidder's organ, female, Bufonidae, Bufo ictericus
Bidder's organ has been cited as a structure present only in males of the toad family Bufonidae, and is used as a systematic characteristic. In this study, we examined females of Bufo ictericus in order to ascertain whether this structure also occurs in females. Macroscopic observations and light microscopy technique for paraffin embedding were performed. This study reveals that females of Bufo ictericus can have a Bidder's organ with typical morphology, and in close spatial relationship with the ovary. This suggests that the Bidder's organ is not an exclusive structure for male toads, but that it may also occur in active females.
Bidder's organ has been described as a rudimentary ovary-like structure (Tanimura and Iwasawa, 1992; Spengel, 1876). The literature refers to Bidder's organ as a structure exclusive for male bufonids and it has been used as a diagnostic character for this family (Duellman and Trueb, 1994). Some authors reported that if the testis is removed the Bidder's organ develops into a functional ovary, and that this event represents a reproductive strategy (Tanimura and Iwasawa, 1986, 1987). Farias et al. (2002) investigated the Bidder's organ of male Bufo ictericus, using routine and histochemical techniques in light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. They concluded that the Bidder's organs are provided with a structural apparatus that is able to produce sexual cells; then, it is not appropriate to designate the Bidder's organ as a rudimentary ovary.
In this study, we used the female of Bufo ictericus to ascertain if the Bidder's organ also occurs in female members of the Bufonidae.
Material and methods
Nine adult females of Bufo ictericus Spix, 1824 were collected in accordance with Brazilian law (collecting permit no. 020222.003111/96-14 issued by IBAMA) in Rio de Janeiro State. The animals were killed with ether vapor after anesthesia . Ovarian and Bidder's organ fragments were fixed by immersion in Bouin's liquid for 18h at 4oC. After rinsing in ethanol 70%, the fragments were processed according to the standard histologic technique for paraffin embedding. Five micrometer serial slices were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Gomori's trichrome (Lillie and Fulmer, 1976).
Macroscopically, the Bidder's organ is observed in close association with the ovary (Figs. 2 and 3). The Bidder's organs were found in seven females. In two females with fully grown postvitellogenic ovarian follicles, the Bidder's organs could not be seen.
The ovary consists of a thin sheath of connective tissue, enclosing the ovarian follicles and visualized at different stages of development (Fig. 4). The ovarian follicles consist of germ cells surrounded by a follicular cell layer. The germ cells display a large nucleus with several prominent nucleoli. The ovary is a sac-shaped structure without a typical medullar region.
Bidderian follicles at different stages of development are shown (Fig. 4). Germ cells display a rounded nucleus, and are enclosed by a layer of follicular cells, varying from flat to cubic. Light microscopy images reveal typical Bidder's organ in close spatial relationship with ovary. In some cases, continuity between both organs is observed (Fig. 4).
Although the Bidder's organ in male bufonids has been reported since the last century (Spengel, 1876), available information about its morphology is still scarce. The Bidder's organ is specific for the Bufonidae and has been cited as a rudimentary ovary-like structure in males of the specimens (Vitale-Calpe, 1969; Pancak-Roessler and Norris, 1991; Duellman and Trueb, 1994). We previously pointed out that the Bidder's organ of male Bufo ictericus has a structural apparatus able to produce sexual cells. The Bidder's organ is made up of a cortex and a medulla. The cortical region shows an ovarian morphology, exhibiting follicles in different stages of development. A small medullar region contains some fairly large blood vessels, notably coiled arteries and convoluted veins. Melanin pigment cells are also detected in the medullar region (Farias et al., 2002).
In this study, female Bidderian follicles are similar to ovarian follicles; they show the basic structure, in which a single continuous layer of follicular cells surrounds the oocyte. Tanimura and Iwasawa (1992), who studied the ovary and male Bidder's organ in young toads of Bufo japonicus formosus, showed similarities between ovarian follicles and male bidderian follicles. Female Bidder's organs have the same morphological characteristics as observed in male Bidder's organs described by Farias et al. (2002).
Duellman and Trueb (1994) commented that the Bidder's organ occurs only in male bufonids, and is used as a systematic characteristic. However, in this study, we prove that the female of Bufo ictericus may also have a typical Bidder's organ in close spatial relationship with ovary.
In Bufo ictericus, the Bidder's organ of females exhibits the usual morphological characteristics as previously described by us for males. This data suggests that the Bidder's organ is not a structure exclusive to male bufonids, but it may also occur in active females. It is still unclear if these females originate from active males or if the Bidder's organ represents an embryonic remnant.

Under existing law no hospital can turn away anyone who shows up in their ER needing care based on their ability to pay. This includes illegal immigrants. So illegal Maria shows up at the ER in labor and delivers a 4# baby who then spends 6 months in the NICU racking up $300,000 in medical costs. The hospital currently has to write this off as charitable care. It wouldn't take very many cases like this to push the hospital over the edge of this Obamacare rule. Yet these illegals do not have insurance and presumably are not eligible for Obamacare.
The immigration bill puts illegals into Obamacare!! You have to keep up!

"I knew I had a good dog but had no idea how to bring that out of him. He jumped on everyone and barked all day. Once I learned he was bored and not sure of his place in the family, we started walking more and playing and giving his day more structure. HE LOVED IT! He knew exactly when it was meal time and when to go to sleep and he just settled in so quickly. I can see the real personality of my dog now and I love it. Thank you, Sue for bringing peace to our home and to my dog especially."
"I never had a dog before and for some crazy reason got talked into taking TWO puppies! What was I thinking? After five months of struggling on my own I got in touch with Sue and just started everything all over again. I no longer left them on their own all day to make trouble but gave them things to do and started walking them together and separately. They really liked their time with me alone. I think we can do this!"
"I wanted to become a therapy volunteer with my dog and called several places before I found Sue through Pet Partners. What a difference. No one else seemed to think it mattered if I knew what to do when meeting all these different kinds of new people. And how to manage my dog and really know if she was happy or not. I'm now looking forward to becoming a Pet Partner therapy team and a Love Dog volunteer."
"The jumping stopped almost immediately once we tried Sue's suggestions. Who knew it could be so easy? Thanks for bringing some peace into our household."
"My dog was so jealous of everyone … the other dogs, my friends. Some solid basic training and he started to become more confident and not as pushy. He learned to Wait and Be Patient and Take Turns and now when I call him he runs right to me because it is his Turn for some love!
"I adopted a very very shy dog. She cowered when you even l0ooked at her. She wouldn't come out of her kennel or walk with me. She stopped dead in her tracks. What frightened her so? Learning to understand the shy dog was amazing to me. I never thought what I did could influence what she did but her whole world opened up once I calmed down and spoke the language she truly related to — more touch, more silence and less overwhelming stimulation and noise (my talking!) After three months I now have a lovely little dog that enjoys going for walks and looks to be with me. "
I never knew I could teach my dog by being so calm and quiet. I was used to yelling at him all day long. Sue asked me "How's that working for you?" and I realized it wasn't! So we started all over and in one day he stopped jumping and by day five I had a different dog – or he had a different owner.
I really love my dog but didn't like his behaviors. He barked constantly – at everything. At the wind, the birds, the cars, the leaves moving – everything. Once we started classes it clicked that he wasn't barking for no reason, and we could tackle socializing him so he wasn't nervous and anxious and afraid of everything. Thank you for teaching me how to teach him so we can both have a nice walk and a nice life.
My dog was very sweet but BAD! He is a rescue and just tore up the house. Sue said he was like her Benny and look how he turned out! So this gave me hope. It took about three months of solid positive training (Sue trained me!) and he is on his way to good manners. I understand that consistency is important so every day we practice being calm and working on what we learned and he actually likes "going to school."
I have a big yard and never walked my dog. Why bother when he can run free? Well once I started walking him on a leash he changed. He really did like it and wanted to go with me and stay by my side. I came to realize that our yard was a prison for him and he was never experiencing the world. So even short walks introduce him to life in a new way and he is loving it. And he stopped digging our yard apart.
"I got a book on clicker training and thought I could do it myself. But all I did was confuse my dog! You really need someone there watching and guiding you especially about the timing. One class with Sue and my girl is so well behaved and now I think I can teach her anything."
"My dog was really a problem. He barked all the time and the neighbors started complaining. He barked when we were home and he barked when he was alone. He barked in the street and he barked in the car. I just had no idea how to stop it. Yelling at him certainly didn't work. Once I met Sue I realized how bored he was and he just was barking to give himself something to do! We started walking every day, which we were not doing, and he had toys when I wanted to give him toys and he started calming down. Going to "school" is now his favorite words and he sits up straight and wants to "do something." It took about two months to really stop the barking and channel his energies elsewhere but after two years of barking, what's two months!"
We have three dogs and they never got along. I always thought you just got another dog to keep one company and they would figure it out on their own. That sure didn't work. We never considered their personalities or anything when we adopted new dogs. After learning to really observe and understand our dogs and how different they are we were able to put into place some good routines in the house and get them to work together more, especially walking nicely together. They each have their own place to eat and sleep and we take turns giving them special attention and now all three wait their turns. Thank you for bringing peace to our household!
"I am actually having fun. Thank you for making training fun for me again. I was so bored and turned off to doing any classes."
"I never thought I could walk my dog down the street without drama. You gave me the confidence to have patience and subtle control and that is what my dog needed. Thank You!"
"When I first considered training my dog I was afraid she would become too serious and not have fun anymore. I really didn't want to come but my family was tired of her jumping and barking and bothering everyone. She is a tiny dog but very persistent and a whiner. Or should I saw she was! Now after just a few short weeks and lots and lots of practice and consistency she is a doll. She is still fun but more controlled when we need her to be and she doesn't go after other dogs or people. I guess I learned that you can have a well-mannered dog that is also fun to be with."
"We got an adorable puppy that turned into Cujo! No one told us they go crazy when they teethe or how high and fast a puppy can jump – on everything and everyone. The smartest thing we did was have a few private lessons at home with Sue to get US settled into the routine of a puppy. Now we not only know what to expect, but what to do to teach her the best manners possible and prepare her for group obedience classes."
"I never thought we could teach our dog to stay away from the children's food or any food left on the table or counter. But once he learned the Leave It command really well, we have no problems with food tempting him anymore. What an achievement."
"I adopted a very very very shy dog and for the first few days she wouldn't come out from under the bed. A couple of private lessons later she is still shy but every day comes out of her shell more and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. She stays with us now on walks and joins the family for play and cuddle time and looks us right in the eye. Huge improvements. I'm looking forward to continuing our work with her so her true self can shine."
"I really thought it was enough to love my dog but he soon got out of control. He totally took over the house. The couch, the bed, the whole house. Everything belonged to him and when he wanted it, you better get out of his 120 pound way! No one could come or go without his barking, barking, barking. Once we got the hang of positive training he gladly chose to do what we wanted – with a happy wag of his tail. Took about three months to really reverse his behaviors and we're continuing to work with him so he stays calm, happy and a Good Dog."
"Our dog was hopeless. Or so we thought. She barked, jumped, chewed, spun in circles and destroyed our house. We had never trained her or set boundaries because she is a little dog and we thought she would just know how to behave. She was never walked outside and not on any kind of schedule. Once we set routines for her and she knew what to expect and what was expected of her, she began to settle down. Several times day we take her out now and she no longer spins – she was just bored. She is the sweetest dog and now everyone wants to be with her."
"I just wanted a dog that wouldn't embarrass me when we went out. I wanted a dog that would be quiet in a store, ride in the car without throwing up, walk calmly by my side. Is that asking too much? But my dog did none of that. So I turned to Sue and after a few months I have the dog of my dreams."
"Our dog was getting older so we decided to get a puppy. What that did was make our senior dog very anxious and the puppy totally took over the household. We needed lots of guidance to get the two of them settled into the new family structure. And it worked! Our senior got a bit more peppy and our "baby" is growing up day by day."
"I don't think there is anything more difficult than having to put your beloved pet down. Our dog was getting older and sicker by the minute and one day he told us in very clear terms it was time. For him, it was a blessing. For us, it was incredibly hard. We were sad and angry and lonely. Everyone told us to get another dog right away. So we did. But no one told us how our sadness and anger and loneliness for our beloved boy would impact on a new dog. Our new dog was getting stranger by the minute – running away from us, hiding, refusing to eat or walk outside. Then the next day she would jump all over us, bark for the longest time, snap at us. It took Sue explaining how our grief was affecting our new dog … once we understood that our demeanor was the key to unlocking a new relationship, we were able to move on and teach our new dog how to be the best dog. And perhaps this is the greatest honor we can give our dear departed dog. "
"I was afraid I would have to give my dog away or put her down. Her behavior was getting worse and worse and I was really scared she would bite someone. I found out she was not aggressive but scared herself and after about three months, she is a different girl. Don't give up on your dogs. Find out first what the problem is and work hard to work past it. Sue saved our dog for us."
"My little puppy was a very sweet dog but I had never had a puppy before and just was lost. How to potty train, how to stop the barking and chewing? How to stop the nipping and biting? I thought having a dog would be like having children – not! But once I learned to understand DOG, everything else made perfect sense and now my "puppy" is a very happy, delightful-to-be-around dog!
"I bought many books and tried to train my very boisterous dog myself. But learning from a book is not the same as having Sue there to watch and guide and direct you in your technique, voice, body language and demeanor. I never realized how much of a tool my voice is and how silence can be the greatest tool of all. The less I talked the calmer my dog became and we were able to focus together."
"We called Sue because we were at our wit's end. One little dog turned our home upside down. We just didn't know that too much freedom caused all the chaos. After a month of classes, our dog is happier, we are calmer and we actually now understand why a kennel is your dog's best friend."
"No one told me there was such a difference between two dogs and three! We had two dogs that were getting on in age and we thought it was the right time to bring a young dog into the home. What did we know! A puppy alone is a huge undertaking but combined with two old dogs, what were we thinking? But about three months later our home is managed well and the pup has good outlets for his energy and the seniors are happy observing!
"I adopted a senior dog and didn't really think she needed "training" at her age. But coming to a new home disrupted all of her behaviors and she wasn't even potty trained anymore. I didn't understand how changing homes could set her back so much. But after just a few months she is settled in and enjoying her time in the sun."
"I thought love was enough but I guess I loved my dog too much. He just took over and became a little monster. With some good direction and rules established, he is now even more loveable. "
"We never had a dog before and suddenly we got two. What were we thinking! I guess it should not have been an impulsive decision but we really thought two would be as easy as one. And wouldn't they just keep each other company??? We learned it doesn't happen that way and we had to put in double the work to get double the pleasure. Our advice to others: don't take on more than you can handle, but if you do, get help!"
"When I had two dogs everything was fine, but bringing in a third changed everything dramatically, and I had no idea how to manage everything. Jealousy, anger, fear, excitement – they had it all. After several months of steady work with each of them alone and then together we have a more peaceful household. It's still not easy but I enjoy my dogs again!"
"At 3 years old, Koda, our Australian Shepherd, was a great dog already. But I had a hunch that he could be even better with just some expert guidance. Even after Koda had a set back early on in our training with Sue, through her expertise, patience and caring, Koda is becoming all that we dreamed he could be." (Becki and Koda)
"Sue brought her own new dog to one of our sessions and I could see firsthand that even for her nothing comes easily or immediately. She truly understands what her clients go through because she is putting in the same time and effort with her Benny. Having the two dogs work together was a great plus for us as it helped socialize our little one but also they seemed to learn from one another. Nothing seems impossible now. Thanks Benny!"
"I called Sue because I had one specific problem with my dog. But we wound up doing so much more. Now I have the "learning" bug and want to teach my dog everything."
"We hadn't had a puppy in twenty years and all of a sudden our house was turned upside down. After eight sessions with Sue we know how to teach our dog to behave, be calm and grow up nicely. We know it will take about six months or more for her to "grow up" but it's worth the wait."
"I particularly liked how well Sue related to our children. We have three boys who love their dog but took no responsibility for her care. With Sue's gentle guidance they are now not only helping out, but enjoying it."
"No one could come in our door without 85 pounds of slobbering fur flying at them. After only three sessions of "door etiquette" our dog has settled down so much and we now know how to instruct our friends so they can be part of the process."
"We wish to thank you for coming to our aid in a stressful time, a new puppy for the first time in forty years, a lovable one but a difficult one at that. He is different from any dog we have ever had. Extremely smart, very active, wanting challenges on a constant basis. With Sue's help and guidance he has come a long way. He is obedient, responsive (we're still working on it) and the most loving, snuggly puppy dog we have ever had. The most important command Sue taught us is "Leave It!" By golly it really works. Leave It can be applied to any situation you need stopped. Thank you for all of your help. (Pedro, Diane and Fox)
"I learned so much about my dog by working with Sue. I saw how smart she really was and how quickly she learned to listen and focus. I had been very loose in her obedience and not really cared if she jumped on people or gave them wet sloppy kisses. And I didn't really understand why this would preclude her from becoming a therapy dog. But I saw how quickly she gave up those behaviors once we showed her the behavior we did want. Now with all four paws planted firmly on the ground she licks hands and gives sweet kisses without the slobbering!"
"I lost one of my two dogs a few months ago. My other dog was very lonely and began displaying some really bad behaviors. In my grief over one dog I had forgotten to be there for the other. After two sessions with Sue and some very honest conversations about my state of mind, I was able to move forward and thus my dog did as well. Together we mourned and grew and took back the structure and control and love we had as a family."
"I had a barker. That's what the neighbors called my dog. The Neighborhood Barker. Everyone knew if they walked past my house a dog would start barking and never stop. He barked at dogs, people, garbage trucks, birds, trees, the wind, everything. Once I understand why he barked and how to relieve his boredom and excitement, it gradually lessened and now if he does start to bark, one Quiet and he settles down. Miraculous!!!"
"My dog never wanted to meet other dogs. She barked, growled, lunged, I think she would have spit if she could! A couple of classes with Sue later and she is the mayor of the block! I learned how to manage her stress and give her the confidence she lacked to be social and now everyone wants to know my dog. Thank you!"
"I was worried that my new rescue, an older dog of eleven, would never be able to calm down and live a peaceful life. Years of ugliness had created a very scared, introverted little character. With great patience, excellent direction and encouragement from Sue, and the determination on our part to not give up on her … all helped bring out the best in our girl. However long we have with her she is happy and living a life of peace."
"I wanted to become a therapy pair with my dog and heard about a lot of different programs. Some seemed to require very little and seemed a bit sketchy to me. I wanted lots of knowledge and instruction as I had never brought my dog into the public before. Then I heard about Delta Society Pet Partners and knew this is what I wanted to do. I always want to achieve the best! So I took a Workshop with Sue and now feel so empowered and ready to celebrate my dog with others. And I am so proud we made the cut! "
"Who knew a five pound puppy could be so much work! We got a puppy and had no idea what to do next, until Sue came along. Six sessions and we got her potty trained, walking on a leash, listening to us, quiet when guests come to the house, going to her spot and becoming just the sweetest dog. Don't even think about getting a new dog without also signing up for some help from Sue. Your life will be so much easier – and more fun."
"It was so great working with Sue. She taught Brody and Houstyn how to walk on a leash, many helpful commands, and even tricks in only 4 sessions! Both dogs seemed to learn very fast with Sue. She's been so wonderful to work with and I will definitely continue to work with her and refer her to others!" (Shaushi and Arik)
"Sue changed our life. We had a dog no one wanted to know. He was so out of control we considered giving him up. After six sessions we came to understand what motivates him, what excites him, what controls him and what brings him joy. Solid obedience plus mental stimulation, routine, ritual and structure along with play has changed our "crazy dog into a great pet."
"Sue has really helped us manage and live with our very nervous, sometimes aggressive and loud Welsh Terrier. Dusty had always barked at the dogs over the back fence and was able to get them going back at him. Then if the doorbell rang and a visitor came he would lose control with barking in a most aggressive way. He was also aggressively reactive to other dogs that we would meet or pass on our walks in the community. The biggest issue was with his aggressive objection to letting guests leave once they came to visit. He was even known to snap and nip people as they would try to escape. We signed up for Sue's group class, but she made a personal visit to our home before the class began, to assess the problems and to offer some beginning solutions that worked beautifully. She is a natural teacher, teaching the humans how to communicate with and understand their dogs. She has a way of communicating with the dogs and then helping owners understand why problem behaviors are happening. She taught us some "rules of the house" and some natural ways to gently get Dusty's attention, maintain it with rewards (his favorite is his golf ball!) and then mark the behavior that we want. It works! Here we are, less than a month after our first class and all the behaviors that I complained about in the beginning are managed and constantly improving. I am surprised at how well this works and what a calm and happy Welsh Terrier we have. (Phyllis and Dusty)
"I just would like to recommend Sue if you have a dog-training issue. We lost our 14-year old male Welsh Terrier last summer, and have a 15-year old female WT. We got another WT puppy in September, and if you know terriers, you know how hardheaded they can be. As long as I have had terriers, I knew this, but after not having had a puppy for almost 15 years, I had forgotten their energy level and training issues. When Riles was a little over 6 months old, we started classes with Sue. He is much improved in behavior, but I credit that to the fact that Sue reminded me of how to act and react to behavior issues. At 10-months of age, he is not, by any means, perfect, BUT He does much better now both on and off lead, in the house and in the yard." (Chris and Riley)
"The most valuable thing we learned was how to walk our dog on a loose leash. What a life saver! Equally valuable was the assistance Sue provided in helping us to read our dog's stress signals – we are both far less stressed as a result."
"Roo and I learned so much in our classes with Sue… I used to be terrified to take my frantic, lunging Rottweiler in public, and now I am completely confident that she will behave herself and listen to me. Learning to recognize/address Roo's stress signals and learning how to walk her on a loose leash have drastically improved both our lives. Thank you Sue! " (Lauren and Roo)
"I learned so much from Sue. She not only helped me teach my dog tricks but how to have a well behaved dog at home and out in public. Eddie came from a puppy mill and even though he was 2 1/2 years old he was like a puppy. Sue taught me all the basics and more about training a dog who had challenges. Thank you Sue! P.S. Eddie became a canine good citizen!" (Nichole and Eddie)
"Sue has so much knowledge, energy, and patience that it was easy for Estrella and me to get to love her. Estrella and I have learned so much from Sue that thanks to her, Estrella passed her Canine Good Citizenship test and received her Certificate. It is wonderful to have someone so especial like Sue in Las Vegas. We really appreciate you." (Sonia & Estrella)
"We can't thank you enough for helping us with our dog. We are getting the idea of what we need to do to have a great dog and companion and you have certainly led the way."
"The weekly homework Sue gave us was especially helpful. Understanding my dog's instinct and drives made such a huge difference and Sue's guidance and support made us succeed."
"Getting written notes after each class made all the difference. We could go home and –practice what we learned and know we were doing the steps properly to see good results."
"Sue said I was her easiest client because I was doing everything wrong! Easy to fix things when nothing is going right … and within a few weeks we have a calm, happy dog in a calm, happy household!"
"Who knew having a puppy was so much work? Sue gave us the confidence and support and encouragement to get through the puppy months and bring out the best in our dog, and ourselves."
"I never knew dog training could be so much fun and everything we do together with our dog has a goal as well as great joy and she is learning while we are learning."
"We are so happy with our dog now. He has become the most wonderful companion and people don't cross the street when they see us coming any longer!"
"We could never have done it without you … you are truly a people coach and you taught us how to teach our dog. Thanks for your tremendous patience – it has certainly paid off."
"The greatest gift Sue gave us was confidence in our ability to teach our dog self control and to listen to us. We can now teach her anything because she has learned how to focus."
"What can I say? I had the world's worst dog and now I have the world's greatest dog!"
"No one wanted to come to our home … barking, jumping, growling, drooling, you name it. Two dogs were running the house. Now they have learned to wait patiently for people to come to them and sweet kisses has replaced sloppy slobbers!"

MasaleBhat simply means spice infused rice. It is a delicacy in Maharashtra, my home state, and a must for festivals, weddings and special occasions. As the name suggests, it is warm and spicy and does pack a punch.
In our culture, there is a traditional way of serving a meal. Although we don't follow this process now, it is nice to come across it sometimes at weddings, christenings etc. and other such events. Yes, sometimes, because even wedding meals have given in to the changing times and become Punjabi Buffets. As a child, I simply loved attending weddings, especially because of the 'pangat', or the traditional seating arrangement for the meal and the abundant dishes.
There were wooden stools which were wide and just a few inches tall. There used to be two rows of these. One was used to sit on, and the other was used to keep your plate, often a large banana leaf or a plate made by sewing together dried leaves. These were of course disposable and bio degradable.
There would be a procession of servers, each one in charge of one item. First there would be a flurry of people who would serve food which was placed on the left side of the plate – salt, lemon wedge, pickle, chutney, and fried papad or vadas. Then there would be 2-3 bowls for the daal, the buttermilk or mattha, and maybe for the green vegetable or pattal bhaji.
Next would be a line of people serving up food for the right side of the plate. This would include dry vegetable dishes and usals or legumes. Then came the white rice which was topped with plain daal or sadha varan and a dollop of ghee. And then, the Masale Bhat was served next to it.
The meal started with a prayer, and then the white rice and plain daal was consumed first. Masale Bhat or spiced rice came next. After offering seconds – people had hearty appetites in those days – chapattis or rotis and puris would be offered. Sweets like Jalebi and Laddu would be added right in, to be eaten along with the meal, and sometimes there were other sweets like Gulab Jamun or Shrikhand served in bowls.
After consuming multiple rounds of Rotis and Pooris with the various veggie dishes, the servers brought in the rice again. The meal was washed down with mattha, a thin version of buttermilk spiced with ginger and herbs.
Oh well, can you tell I am either very hungry or very nostalgic?
So, this is how favored and important the MasaleBhat is in Marathi cuisine or the cuisine of Maharashtra, my native state.
A couple of years ago, I came across a readymade spice mix called 'Masalebhat Masala' made by Bedekars (brand). It is simply too awesome, but it is not readily available. Even here in Pune, I need to drive an hour to find a store that stocks it. So, if you can get your hands on it, fine.
If not, I have a fantastic recipe for you. As usual, it is from scratch but also very simple.
There are some veggies which are traditionally added to the MasaleBhat. Tindora or ivy gourd/ Coccinia is preferred. Green peas are a must. You can add cauliflower or potato too, but they add their own peculiar taste.
Brahmin cooking does not generally use onion or garlic, especially for festivals, weddings etc. So this MasaleBhat is a no onion, no garlic recipe.
Ghee is favored and gives a heady aroma to the rice, but you can just use vegetable oil instead. Simply omit the ghee to make this dish vegan.
Small things make a big difference in taste. So for really fresh flavors, go the extra mile and pound up some fresh roasted coriander seeds instead of using the coriander powder that has been languishing in a jar in your pantry. It literally tastes like dust!
For the rice – use any long grain rice like Basmati or Kolam. It will work well.
With Diwali coming up, we have many traditional meals in the offing. So I hope you try this MasaleBhat and use it for your Diwali table.
MasaleBhat Recipe
- 2 cups rice uncooked
- 1 cup ivy gourd sliced
- 1 cup green peas
- 2 Tbsp ginger grated
- 1 tsp green chili paste (optional)
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 Tbsp coriander ground
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1-2 bay leaf
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 2 Tbsp ghee (optional)
- 2 Tbsp cashews pieces
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp black mustard seeds
- ¼ tsp hing or Asafetida
- 1 tsp turmeric ground
- Chopped Cilantro or coriander
- Fresh grated coconut
- More ghee
- Cut the ends off the gourd and slice vertically in half. Cut once more to get quarters.
- Wash the rice and drain.
- Heat oil and ghee in a pressure cooker/ pressure pan or in a stock pot.
- When oil smokes, add the mustard, hing and turmeric for a basic tadka. Add the bay leaf.
- Immediately add the gourd and fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cashews and the rice and toast well. Add half the spices at this time.
- Add 4 cups water and stir well.
- Now add in the grated ginger, remaining spices and the green peas.
- Season with salt and sugar.
- At this point, you can just put the cooker lid on and pressure cook for two quick whistles. Alternately, you can bring it to a boil and then simmer with a covered lid until the rice is cooked.
- You can also transfer this whole mixture to an electric rice cooker, shut the lid and let it cook.
- Ideally, the rice should be fluffy but well cooked.
- Serve topped with fresh coriander or cilantro, grated coconut and more ghee, with a squeeze of lemon.
- Note: This makes enough for 4-5 people as part of a large meal. Or it can be a one dish meal for 3 people easily.

Winnipeg Jets Edge The Minnesota Wild 2-1
Ondrej Pavelec bounced back from a forgettable night in Detroit this past Saturday to help the Winnipeg Jets defead the league leading Minnesota Wild in another hard fought and fan fueled game at the MTS Centre on Tuesday night.
The 1st period started with a strong pace from both teams, and Winnipeg began with their usual high pressure forecheck and managed to generate some quality chances on Nicklas Backstrom, but the Helsinki native turned aside all 10 Jets shots.
On the other side of the ice, Ondrej Pavelec was looking to bounce back from a game in Detroit this past weekend when he was pulled after 5 goals on 19 shots, and he came up big on chances from Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Danny Heatley, who both had time in the slot and were shut down by the Winnipeg net minder.
Guillaume Latendresse would take the game's first sit in the sin bin after an interference call, and the Jets found themselves on the power play after both teams going over 14 minutes without a penalty. Minnesota played a tight penalty kill however, and the Jets only managed to muster up 2 shots with the extra man.
A few minutes later, Dustin Byfuglien was called for roughing after using his free arm to work his way to the front of the Wild net, and hitting Greg Zanon in the face. Minnesota did their best to work their puck to the front of the net, but after only being on the power play for 41-seconds, Kyle Brodziak took Jim Slater into the boards hard and was subsequently called for boarding.
The Minnesota penalty carried over into the 2nd period, and the Wild were able to hold on and keep the game scoreless at 1. 2:49 into the second and Chris Thorburn was caught for interference after an offensive zone face-off. With no scoring chances on that power play, Minnesota was granted a 5-on-3 as Tanner Glass was called for tripping. The Wild would finally find the scoreboard as Guillaume took a pass from Mikko Koivu and fired it home to make it 1-0 Minnesota.
Just over 4 minutes later, a grinding Winnipeg shift would work the puck back to Zach Bogosian who fired from the point and scored his 1st of the season to tie the game at 1.
Minutes later, Dustin Byfuglien would fire another puck at Backstrom that would find it's way in, however the goal was called back due to goaltender interference.
Early in the 3rd, Winnipeg and Minnesota would keep up the fast pace of the game that sustained itself throughout the first two frames, which has become a theme for the Jets when they face league-leading teams at home.
With 7 minutes left in the 3rd period, Clayton Stoner fired the puck over the glass in the Minnesota zone, which drew the attention of the referee and Stoner was thrown in the box for delay of game.
At the end of the Jets powerplay, Evander Kane fed a streaking Dustin Byfuglien who one-touched the puck over to Bryan Little who put home his 11th goal of the season to put the Jets on top 2-1.
Minnesota would pull their goalie for the extra man, and during the ensuing pressure, Zach Bogosian drilled Pierre-Marc Bouchard from behind to draw a major penalty and a game misconduct for boarding.
Ondrej Pavelec would bail the Jets out numerous times in the final minute of the game as the Jets held on for a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild.

Marijuana Growing Unforced Errors!
Post Page Rank
I felt really sad, knowing I had disillusioned my medical marijuana plants. And know I had twice as much work as if I could just suspiciously measure my hydroponics nutrients the first time!
I had to exhaust away the fresh nutrients, fill the res with overturn osmosis water, add in a concentrated dose of Final Phase, wash out the plants for three hours, draw off the flush water, fill the reservoir again, carefully measure the correct nutrients quantity (a little low because of the over-fertilization and with a little extra B-52 (because B-vitamins help stressed plants), and hope for the best.
It took me many hours, and cost me in wasted hydroponics nutrients, wasted water, wasted reverse osmosis water, wasted electricity, wasted my energy too and injured plants.
I lost approximate 10% of my leaves due to the over-fertilization, and my Sour Diesel and Kali Mist plants stalled for a few days.
This means I lost three days of bud size increase and resin production, and extended my bloom phase. This cost me money, time and energy.
Also, I'm pretty sure I damaged my root systems due to the overload salts and the overwatering caused by the flush and re-feed.
Now look, obviously I'm not a stud like Peyton Manning…and throwing a horrendous, unforced, overtime, season-ending interception in front of millions of people is more depressing than me harming my marijuana plants.
Still, let's recognize that unforced errors are the most common errors in our cannabis grow rooms.
Here's hoping you only throw marijuana growing touchdowns as you cultivate the world's most powerful plant. Light up a Super Bowl of Marijuana bud to celebrate a growing season without game-losing unforced errors!

My One Minute Recommendation: The Pot Limit Omaha Book: Transitioning from NLHE to PLO scores a 9/10. There are probably better books for all-around poker noobs, but experienced NLHE players looking to get better at "the other big bet game" would be hard-pressed to find a better resource.
The Good: Advanced tactics, high-level strategy, strong theoretical grounding, well-explained, genuinely insightful, appropriately calibrated for its target audience
The Bad: Some concepts, including but not limited to certain basic skills, not covered in great detail
The Ugly: A little unpolished, with some typos and minor grammatical errors; feels pretty much like reading a Word document, albeit a nicely laid out Word document
Tri "Slowhabit" Nguyen's Transition from NLHE to PLO delivers just what the title promises: a strong guide to Pot-Limit Omaha, delivered at a pace and level appropriate for a poker player with a fairly sophisticated understanding of No Limit Hold 'Em. Though there is plenty of practical advice and hand examples, this is not a soup to nuts "how to" guide offering a ready-to-play strategy. In fact, it could stand to be a bit more comprehensive in its advice for specific, common situations. Rather, it is a rigorously mathematical theoretical framework for approaching the game. It will require a thorough understanding of poker to appreciate the depth of this book, but for someone with such an understanding, it should prove an invaluable text, certainly worth its not inconsiderable $375 price tag.
Nguyen could be more explicit about his intended audience, though the title and I imagine the marketing strategy will likely make this clear enough. The introduction does promise, accurately enough, to "teach you the nuances of PLO and what variables you should consider during hands to turn yourself into a more profitable player," with the ultimate goal of getting the reader "crushing small and mid-stakes PLO." The text assumes a sophisticated understanding of crucial poker concepts such as equity, hand ranges, semi-bluffing, and planning ahead. None of it should be beyond an active reader of 2+2 or my blog, but this is not a mass market book. The Glossary includes only two terms and offers a superficial description even of those.
The only time this affects the quality of the discussion is with Nguyen's use of the term "outs". I've generally understood the term to mean something like "cards that could come to win you the pot when you are not currently ahead", but Nguyen sometimes uses it to talk about cards that will improve a hand, whether or not that improvement is actually enough to win the pot. Given that it is so important in PLO to distinguish between nut and non-nut draws, it couldn't hurt to define these terms more explicitly.
Though the book is definitely written with a NLHE player in mind, it should be useful to any serious poker player. There are a lot of helpful analogies, though, where Nguyen considers similarities and differences between how specific concepts function in the two games or explains that holding X hand in PLO is akin to holding Y hand in NLHE. Being primarily a NLHE player myself, I found these very insightful and helpful tools.
It also helps that many of the hand examples, integrated into every chapter via convenient sidebars alongside the relevant text, seem drawn from the author's own transition from NLHE to PLO. It is both welcoming and encouraging to see him admit to misplaying a hand as a result of a misunderstanding common to NLHE players learning PLO. I found I was able to recognize specific mistakes that I had made and begin to understand why my past forays into PLO had not gone as well as I hoped- and that was before I got to the "Common Mistakes" chapter.
Such reinforcement is nice, because while Transitioning from NLHE to PLO rekindled my excitement for the game, it also made me realize how much I don't know and how much work will be required to master hand reading and equity calculation, both of which are far more complicated than their NLHE equivalents. It's not that the tools aren't there. The text provides plenty of examples and in-depth analysis of advanced concepts like blockers, backdoor draws, and floating. It just makes me realized what a tall mountain there is to climb. Thankfully, Nguyen also emphasizes how many players in today's PLO games don't have an inkling about any of this stuff, which is reassuring.
It does beg the question of the book's longevity, though. There's a mix of tactics that seem fundamental to playing the game well in any context and those designed to exploit mistakes and tendencies common in contemporary PLO games. It will be interesting to see how long the latter remain viable. Since Transitioning is an e-book, Nguyen could theoretically update it, though to my knowledge he hasn't promised anything like this.
I'm not particularly familiar with e-book technology, but I would guess that Transitioning falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum with regard to balancing the reader's convenience with the protection of the author's intellectual property. The book is protected by LockLizard Safeguard, meaning that you need to download and install a special PDF viewer, then register your version of the book, before you can read it. This sounds like a hassle, but the instructions were clear, and it took me less than five minutes to set up. After that, I had full rights to read and print, though not copy and paste, the document indefinitely.
The other potentially intimidating aspect of the book is the math. It isn't actually that complicated, and the author does a great job of explaining it, but there are a lot of graphs and calculations and even some algebra. Next to The Mathematics of Poker, it's the most math-heavy poker book I've seen.
Not that that's a bad thing. In fact, these were probably the best parts of the book. I particularly liked a chart enumerating the possible hands on each street in PLO vs. NLHE, and Nguyen's quantification of the heretofore nebulous concept of "post-flop playability" struck me as pure genius. Understanding it does require interpreting a graph of hand equity on all possible flops, though. Again, the text offers a crystal clear explanation, but I'm sure a good high school math education helps.
The other concept I found very helpful, and which seems to motivate Nguyen's general approach to the game, is equity realization. Basically, because hand values tend to run close together in PLO, Nguyen places a premium on bluffing, fold equity, and winning pots without showdown. He argues quite convincingly for making a lot of turn and river bluffs, often deferring aggressive action on an earlier street in order to make a better, often more aggressive, decision later in the hand.
Amidst all of the more advanced theory and strategy, certain concepts do feel a bit glossed over. Although the chapter on pre-flop hand selection is one of the longest, it still offers relatively vague advice about exactly which hands to play from which position and how to play them. It's consistent with Nguyen's general approach of "here are the key considerations, work through the specific situation yourself", but readers will probably be accustomed to finding more specific starting hand advice in a poker book. That's probably as much the nature of PLO as it is a flaw in the book, though.
More disappointing is the "River Play" chapter, which covers barely three pages. As much emphasis as Nguyen places on river bluffing, it was disappointing not to get more hand examples and an extended discussion of key concepts like value betting and inducing bluffs.
Nguyen's writing style is less professional than I'm accustomed to seeing in a poker book. Some will find the casual tone welcoming, though nits like myself will be perturbed by minor grammatical errors, none of which influenced my understanding of the text.
Overall, Transitioning From NLHE to PLO is a fantastic book for a veteran No Limit Hold 'Em player who wants to make a serious effort at learning Pot Limit Omaha. Nguyen requires a substantial investment of time, effort, and money from his readers, but it's hard to imagine any smart poker player not getting very good at this quite complex game if he spent enough time working with this text.

At the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), the highlight so far has been a spirited panel on the 75th anniversary of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Yes, I know that this statement may be yawn-inducing for those who are not court or procedure geeks.) The All-Star panel was moderated by legal legend Arthur Miller and included Justice Antonin Scalia.
I'll post more when I have access to a computer (I'm blogging from the iPhone app). But for now suffice it to say that it was amazing to watch Miller and the panel skewer the court for some of its very questionable recent procedure decisions, particularly Iqbal (pleading).

Hi ,
I just wanted to know about the advantages and disadvantages of "require" over "use" in Perl.
I know that :
1. "use" is evaluated at compile time and "require" at run-time.
2. If the module I am using with "use" has syntax error they will be thrown while compiling, on the contrary if the module is "require" ed then they will come during run-time and no errors will be reported in compile time.
3. When we do "use", the control is passed to that file at run-time and whereas in case of "require" the code from that module/file is included to my code which is "require"ing it at run-time.
4. If I have a module which does a lot in the BEGIN block and I don't really need it in all cases , then it is clever to "require" it so that I won't have to wait for all the initializations of that module in case I don't need it.
My question is :
is there any gain in terms of memory consumption when I use "require" or any other advantage ? Please let me know.
