Buildings. They're the environments in which we live and work, learn and play, heal and grow. And Trane makes buildings better for everyone inside. Our innovative solutions create spaces that are reliable and safe, as well as healthy, comfortable and efficient – which in turn yields greater productivity and greater profitability.
Trane also improves the life of the building itself. We collaborate with building owners and operators to create high performance buildings that contribute measurable, year-over-year benefits and support mission-critical objectives. Together, we explore the mission of the organization within the building itself, along with its strategic and financial objectives, and the inevitable challenges that come with improving building performance. And we work together to determine the ways the building environment impacts the organization for the better.
Next, Trane applies the right methodology. From a preliminary energy audit through a complete performance analysis, Trane examines each building's critical systems and energy use — and considers how they stand up to the customer's objectives. Because a careful look at the facility reveals not only how it performs from an operational point of view, but also how it interacts with the people inside.
Finally, we look ahead to ensure those benefits are measurable now, and sustainable for the future. Because Trane is committed to delivering sustainable performance, innovation and knowledge – for the life of your building, and your organization.

We have attempted to provide accurate descriptions. However, it is the bidder's responsibility to conduct any inspections to determine the condition and feasibility of the bidder's intended use. Descriptions that are provided by the auction company are provided in good faith and are matters of opinion. It is automatically acknowledged by registering that you have either personally inspected the items being sold, hired an agent to inspect the items being sold or waive your right to inspect the items being sold. By placing a bid, this creates a contractual agreement to purchase the items being sold at the high bid price plus Buyers Premium and any additional fees.

Sheridan Realty & Auction Co. reserves the right to sell to the next highest qualified bidder in the event the successful high bidder does not comply with the terms of the sale. By bidding on the items in the auction, the buyer agrees to all terms and conditions set forth. By registering and placing a bid you agree that if you happen to become a default bidder, Sheridan Realty & Auction Co. has the right to charge your credit card for the entire balance of your invoice, plus any and all costs incurred by the seller and Sheridan Realty & Auction Co. in a subsequent resell of the item(s). If Sheridan Realty & Auction Co. is able to sell your item to the next highest qualified bidder at a price lower than the auction high bid price, the default bidder agrees to allow Sheridan Realty & Auction Co. to charge their credit card for the difference in their high bid price and the actual selling price to the backup bidder.

Unauthorized use of automated or bulk messaging on WhatsApp
WhatsApp is a private messaging platform originally built to help people message their friends and loved ones. Over time we've seen how people value messaging with businesses and so we've built two tools–the WhatsApp Business app and the WhatsApp Business Platform–to help companies manage customer interactions. Our products are not intended for bulk or automated messaging, both of which have always been a violation of our Terms of Service.
We are committed to reinforcing the private nature of our platform and keeping users safe from abuse. We recently detailed our on-platform capabilities to identify and ban accounts in this white paper. We're aware that some companies attempt to evade our machine learning systems, even as we work tirelessly to improve them. Using the on-platform information available within WhatsApp we've found and stopped millions of abusive accounts from operating on our service.
This is a challenge that requires a holistic approach and WhatsApp is committed to using the resources at its disposal–including legal action–to prevent abuse that violates our Terms of Service, such as automated or bulk messaging, or non-personal use. This is why in addition to technological enforcement, we also take legal action against individuals or companies that we link to on-platform evidence of such abuse. WhatsApp reserves its right to continue taking legal action in such circumstances.
In addition, beginning on December 7, 2019, WhatsApp will take legal action against those we determine are engaged in or assisting others in abuse that violates our Terms of Service, such as automated or bulk messaging, or non-personal use, even if that determination is based on information solely available to us off our platform. For example, off-platform information includes public claims from companies about their ability to use WhatsApp in ways that violate our Terms. This serves as notice that we will take legal action against companies for which we only have off-platform evidence of abuse if that abuse continues beyond December 7, 2019, or if those companies are linked to on-platform evidence of abuse before that date.
Nothing in this announcement limits WhatsApp's right to enforce its Terms using technology, such as banning accounts based on machine-learning classifiers, and WhatsApp will continue to do so.
We will continue to provide capabilities to help businesses communicate with their customers. To learn more about these capabilities, visit the WhatsApp Business app and WhatsApp Business Platform pages.

Woof All:
As we complete our 20th year of the Dog Brothers, on April 4, 5, and 6 some 20 odd members of the Tribe plus a few friends will be getting together at a secret location to re-enact the Creation of the Dog Brothers, known in our lore as "The Rumble at Ramblas" wherein those there fought for three days.
I have no idea how much posting I will be doing here during this time.
The Adventure continues,

As I type this I'm on a Laptop in a Min-Van heading back from the campsite as such please excuse the spelling and grammer.
This Weekend has been a turning point for me in a number of ways, All of them good.
Each and every time I fight at a Gathering I discover something new about myself, some new depth that I never new existed before. I'm glad to say most of what I find is for the good. This time however, whatever powers guide our journey through life decided I had a really important lesson to learn. How to cope with disappointment.
About a year and a half ago I had major head surgery to hopefully correct a hearing defect. This was my third Gathering since the initial surgery and even though the Doc's had cleared me as back to full health, I was never comfortable fighting since. My chatter wasn't louder, but in someway it was deeper. The thought of three full days of this made this deeper still. To cut a Long story short I fought twice & suffered a concussion, which moved me from the realm of fighter to the realm of witness. To have invested so much emotion and time in preparing for this and then to fall so early was crushing. However, as is the way of the Gatherings, only you are responsible for you. To me this means that while I may not have direct control over every action that happens, I do have control over my reaction to those actions.
After a lot of soul searching and the guidance of Crafty, I started to view the experience in a different way. I've never watched a gathering before without fighting. I'd never had the chance to see the nobility and humility of the fighters from the outside. I'd also not realized how not being able to fight had changed my inner chatter from the post operation doubts, to an overwhelming desire to fight again.
For all my frustrations and my initial performance, this Gathering has renewed my fire for this and shown me just how amazing a group of people are involved in this. It's made me feel prouder than ever to be a part of this. For me this Gatherings lesson has been one of the deepest and most profound yet.
Thanks again to all my Brothers who looked after me and never for a second excluded me or let me feel bad about not being able to fight.

My key memories of the past three days:
1. Receiving praise from Dogzilla for something he thought I did well during our fight
2. Receiving a suggestion from Dogzilla about something he thought I needed to improve from what he saw during our fight.
3. Surviving my fight with Dogzilla
4. Getting Guro Lonely into a camel toe, only to have him reverse it a few moments later, take me down, and hit me with a beautiful (but very controlled) elbow
5. Having been there to see Pappy Dog and Red Dog's inspirational stick and knife fight
6. Dirt, horse poo, and dirt mixed with horse poo
7. Not wearing sun screen on the first day.
8. Reflecting on how far some folks (Pennsylvania, Canada, Europe, Tahiti!) came to be part of the event.
9. Feeling great the first day, feeling terrible the second day, feeling transformed the third day
10. Amazing drumming that helped provide energy from places hidden in the spirit
11. Watching Sled Dog, who was there at the beginning, and who was there two decades later, step out again and again and later having him honor me with a fight (which turned out to be one of my favorite DB fights I have ever had)
12. Hearing about how martial arts saved one of our brother's life
13. Watching Poi Dog work. There's classical stuff there mixed with raw power, speed, tactics, and strategy. He's a damned fine stickfighter.
14. Watching Pappy Dog work. There's classical stuff there mixed with raw power, speed, tactics, and strategy. He's a damned fine stickfighter.
15. My wife arriving at the fight site for day two, right as "Dog" Eric beat the tar out of me. (Eric, again, your level of aggression is something I have to aspire to. You bring it!)
16. Fighting two fights on day two in those terrible suede gloves that I bought when my wife drove off with my gear. I only did it because I said (on camera) that I would fight in them. Again, my hands are swollen, but I honestly don't think anything is broken.
Lastly, the experience as a whole was amazing. I enjoyed having three days to REALLY get to know some of the people that I have seen here and there at the Gatherings over the past couple years. The one word that rally stands out to me about the event is: RESEARCH. The group was out there to research in a nonjudgmental environment, what might actually have a chance of working in high pressure. The group was out there to research just where the Tribe is at in this given moment. The group was out there to research a greater world of expanded consciousness that seems to lie just beyond the world of getting up and working our 9 to 5's. As I drove home, I was glad to have survived the three days, but I was in a state of disbelief. I was glad that I didn't have to fight again but it was hard to believe what had just transpired. While I was on the 15 freeway, I kept having this sense that I was outside of myself, watching.
I never played football in high school. I've never been in a real (thank God) fight. The city that I live in with my wife and 11 month old son is rated as one of the safest in the country. I don't consider myself a "tough guy".
For those who were there: HOW DID WE DO THAT?
What strikes me is that DBMA is there for everyone who wants it. If I can be a DB, anyone can. I have written a lot on this forum about using martial arts to change the world, and I really mean it. I am scared that someday soon, my boy is going to look around at the world and then look back at me and ask, "What the &%$ did you guys do?", meaning that I could have done more to pass on a world that makes sense. While changing the world might be a big leap from what happened this weekend, I don't think it has to be so big. If we continue to find like-minded people who are willing to travel (some from GREAT distances) to evaluate the nature of aggression and we experience one tenth of the feeling of transcendence that seemed to come over the group on Sunday, then we are on the right track.
I know I've rambled, but I only have one more question, and I hope I'm not jumping the gun:
Do we REALLY have to wait 20 more years to do that again? I don't mean this weekend, but...

Guide Dog - you fought great and you were fearless out there. It was fun and inspiring to watch you.
For me, the multiple days of fighting were a huge help. I was not happy with my first day. After listening to some of the wisdom in the pack (thank you Porn Star Dog and Dogzilla), a lot of soul searching, and no small amount of positive prayer from a good friend, I started the second day with a great fight against Red Dog. That opened a path to fighting with a lot more honesty and joy for the rest of the Gathering.
If I had ended with the first day, it would have haunted me till the next Gathering, and that poor experience would have solidified and probably been much harder to work through. With the pressure of coming back the next day, I had to solve it (or face two more days of unsatisfying beatings). In addition to changing how I was fighting, I changed my stick (thank you Red Dog and especially Pappy Dog) and I went to a very light glove (thank you Poi Dog and Crafty for the encouragement). The result was two days of very satisfying beatings (I don't normally bruise much, but I have some stick hickeys that are going to be with me for a week).
It was the transforming experience I was looking for from this Gathering. The honor of being promoted to Dog Brother was a huge milestone for me, and hopefully the beginning of further and deeper transformations.
I don't know how many of them it would have taken to whip my ass, but I knew how many they were going to use. That's a handy little piece of information.

My heart goes out to you mate. I kinda know how you must feel but I think your grief must run deeper than mine did, after booking my flights to the LA Gathering last year and then having to sit out on the blechers due to a torn meniscus.
I know how hard you trained for this and it's a pity that it had to go that way for you, but I hope that like me you found the oppertunity to sit and watch the fights an enjoyable and educational one.
To all the people who were there fighting, my respect goes out to all of you!
Looking forward to hearing some good 'warstories'

There is a phenomenon in "older athletes" that the stiffness of exercise does not hit them on the first day after. I am now quite stiff, it is day 2 (post weekend). Moving around with tenderness in my extremities and not enough youth to mask my movement.
Had a great time. Initially it was hard to get going when I saw how high the level was. I had to ask myself if I was prepared to just be a mobile heavy bag for some of these young warriors? I finally came to my senses, realized that nothing of value is appreciated without some work, and came out swinging. Of course, now I wish I had started earlier and fought longer. These are thoughts that you have after you survive an encounter, not before.
It was my honor to have been there. Dog Brothers have a great future with this pack. Thanks Crafty for the invitation, thanks Pappy and Linda for the hospitality, thanks Kase for the conversations, thanks everybody for the adventures that will grow into stories that could not possibly have happened, but they did.

Woof, Thanks guys for all your posts, they resonate quite well. Please keep them comming.
Much respect to all those who participated and espically to those who lasted all 3 days stick fighting.
Thats a major accomplishment regardless of how many fights you pulled off each day.
C-Scotty, Doubtful anyone who knows you in the slightest would question how badly you wanted to get back out there, even after a concusion. One of my most vivid memories of you from the June gathering was you walking around with a ice bag on your wrist trying to get it back together enough to continue fighting. There are greater days ahead for those who push on.......
Sled Dog, as a guy whos getting older himself I can relate to the post activity soreness, keep swinging I'am, sure you represented the first generation dog brothers quite well.
Dog Dean, your post on the members site spoke very well........I think it would have a nice place on this thread as well. Hope to meet you soon. I will be at the Aug. gathering.....
Congrats to all those who advanced up the ranks, well deserved!!!
Even though I could'nt make this event just reading the threads, swells my heart with pride, knowing the quality and caliber of men who undertake and participate in the Dog Brothers gathering of the packs......I look forward to Aug. and seeing you all again as the pack will gather again.
much respect!! WELL DONE TO ALL!!!

First, thank you for the kind words and recognition. This is just the begining. I will always share what knowledge I have and If I dont have the right answer to the question, we will find the answer together. No BS here...
Always the student first.
Here is my reflection;
Before the Gathering my mind was one of wuji (no extreme). My focus was, as is most often, on the progression and growth of those (students) that have trusted me to guide them along their martial journey. Once again I was welcome among Alpha Males, "Dog's", the pack welcomed me in as if I were an old friend. Being that this was only my second gathering, I still had reservations. Hesitation about coming across the wrong way (cocky/arrogant/overconfident) or even worse, scared. My only concern was EARNING my place among the pack and representing my instructor (GM Harper) with Honor, Courage and Commitment.
I am honored and have great respect for everyone that I have been fortunate to have spent time with so far. Each and every one of you are Warriors and winners. There was no one inside the Corral that I would not go to War with.
As I watched (during the short time I had) and listened to all of you this weekend. I found myself reminded of my "Sand Box" experience. In the beginning of my tour we (My Marines and I) were all scared, nervous and concerned for our safety. As the days past we gained confidence (not to be confused with complacency) in our training and our applicable skills. The skills we owned got us through the rough times.
Mid way though my deployment, I started seeing a separation (the Warriors from the Cowards). Many turned to religion or medical looking for a crutch. I turned to my art and began to share my gifts with those that would join me in my rituals. I saw those men gain confidence and peace through the distraction and beauty of martial arts training and development.
The last few weeks/days of my tour, much like the gathering of the pack, I felt and saw Warriors struggle with the challenges of "Stepping Up" - one more time. After surviving and beating the odds long enough there is a higher level of concern (consciousness) that goes along with combat situations. I find myself thinking, "Will this be the fight that breaks my bones or caves in my skull?" Likewise, "Will this be the time I go out the wire and get blown up or killed".
In the end, the Warrior within, barks at the moon and growls at the face of danger with an evil grin and says "Fuck It" lets do this and let my training, courage, heart, will and skill get me through to a "Higher Consciousness through Harder Contact".
"Only you are responsible for you"… but it's nice knowing that my Dog Brothers , Marines and Ohana are my keepers and the Pack that plays together stays together.
Much respect to all of you, this weekend it was my honor to be among you all.
Sled Dog,
If it were not for the fact that I found out you, a Kaju GM, were one of the original DB's. I may have not kept sniffing around. I first ran across DB's site and material some 10+ yrs ago. My training has been impacted by the Tribe every since, in some way or another. I can only hope to be such an inspiration to the generations that follow me.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for you, Mahalo Nui Loa Sir.
Mahalo Nui Loa and Aloha everyone,
Dog Dean

There will be more later......However, I have give a Howl of appreciation to Guro CraftyDog and Pretty Kitty for putting on the event. If you ever planned a wedding, film shoot, military campaign, or fed up to 30 people, you know how much stress is involved. More later on how much fun it was....

"The greater the dichotomy, the profounder the transformation. Higher Consciousness through Harder Contact."
My fight with Sheep Dog on the third day drove this idea home for me. As we tapped in and began stalking and swinging on each other, we were joking like we were talking over a pitcher of beer. There wasn't any fear or tension, even though we both knew each would put the other in the dirt if given the chance. It was odd and enlightening.
I don't know how many of them it would have taken to whip my ass, but I knew how many they were going to use. That's a handy little piece of information.

In the spirit of Dog Dean's photo fun, here's my contribution:
Broken nose - Thanks, Sheep Dog.
Stick hickey, ribs - Thanks, Dogzilla.
Stick hickey, left shoulder.
Stick hickey, right shoulder.
Stick hickey, left thigh - Thanks, Chris.
I'll write a post on my reflections in a little bit, but a quick thanks to all the fighters, the camera crew, the musicians, Crafty and Pretty Kitty for getting things organized and Dogzilla for the "broke da mout" grinds.
Aloha, Poi

I missed day three, but I heard that there were some great fights. It was glad to meet a lot of the people from the board and put names to faces. I'm amazed at the heart and skill that people displayed over multiple days of fighting. I want to give a shout out to Corey and the Johns for driving me around, I really appreciate it.
Some of my highlights:
1) the stick and knife fight between Pappy Dog and Red Dog
2) The little in between spaces over the weekend, talking to people, Red Dog giving a short intro to his German sword fighting style
3) watching people consult, strategize, or learn a quick technique before a fight and then pulling it off
4) the fights! good stuff...

My thoughts on this weekends Gathering:
The Tribe:
Much thanks to all involved in putting this on including Guru Crafty, Pretty Kitty, The Night Owl and his crew, the musicians, the guys whose names I forget but who helped us from hurting ourselves terribly on the "environment", the cooks (Dog Randall, C-"What's My Name?" Bitch and Dogzilla), the "bartenders" (Lonely, Red and Scotty w/ special guest KNOB Creek) and last but not least all the fighters themselves. It was an awesome thing to hang with such a great group of people sharing laughs, thoughts, philosophy, good conversation, food and spirits and of course… pain. (Thankfully no suffering though!)
Memorable Moments:
Porn Star and Lonely's opening fight which scared the crap outa me.
The expressions on our faces when we first viewed the secret fighting location for days two and three.
Pappy and Red Dog's awesome stick and knife fight. Man that rocked!
Kahuna Dog and his fighting laugh. (We should call you Hyena Dog or maybe Hawaiieena Dog)
C-Tahiti Dog's stick work… smooth like butta baby
Sleddog showing me the ropes on our Sunday morning "warmup" fight. Owwww… it was fun, but owwwww…
Lonely's lesson on how to escape chokes
Special Thanks:
The NoHo crew for reminding me to breath and move. (Two things I somehow forget to do on my own).
Poidog for helping me push into the third day after my shoulder said NO.
C-Scotty Dog and his upbeat spirit even in the face of adversity. You're the man and I still owe you a fight!
Dog Kase for not getting mad after the .38 incident. (But it was funny, you gotta admit)
C-"I Need a Name" Bitch for being cool as ever. You need a name though… seriously.
Dog Dean for the awesome demonstration
All the guys who fought me and let me live to tell the tale. Arrrrrrr…
To the pack for making Mrs. Scurvy feel right at home
To anyone I'm forgetting to thank!
As far as stick hickey photos, I'd post mine but considering where Lonely Dog hit me it's best I don't.

Well guys, here's my poetry. Aside from all the deep stuff I want to let y'all know that I had the best time of my life. Man, there were so many good fighters. So much inspiration. You guys are top!
Thanks to Dogzilla for feeding the pack!
I dedicate this little writing of mine to all who were there, whether they were fighters, bystanders, musicians, camera folks or directors.
Guro Crafty, thanks for taking me under your mighty wings!
A Corral In My Soul
It has been a week now that I left the gates of the corral at Ganson's Place in Temecula. Those of us who have been there will remember forever when I mention this place.
Pictures flash in my mind, fleeting memories. Of sunny days in the park. Of dust. Of the settling sun. Of the fighters, gathered in the circle.
The sounds cling in my ear. Of buzzing sticks, powershots amissed. Dry cracks of sticks squaring off. The baritone unspectular of a good shot landing on bone or flesh. The yells, the moaning and grunting, the laughter. And the drums of life.
Even the smells are still there. Fresh grass, brown rich earth. Old weeds and rotten old horse. The plowed and trampled ancient red soil of the west.
And that feeling.
The first day in The Park was like a celebration. Like a get together to get to know each other. Let there be no doubt - the fighting was hard, we saw feats of highest warriorship. A reminiscence of days gone by since the tribe gathered here for the first time 20 years ago. A tribute for those who paved the way. Some of us shed blood for them. A day in its own, out in the open field, on the grass and in the sun.
Then the corral. Each of us took to the task of preparing the ritual ground. Plowing and digging, loosening the hard baked arid land. We all were there, we all did our share.
The fighting was the best I ever saw. The fighting the day before has put us in a state in which we were no longer inhibited by our fears and doubts. We went out there to fight as if there is nothing else for us to do.
That was when I realized, my path into the corral began much earlier. When? I do not know. Maybe when I met my teacher Lonely Dog eight years ago? Or when that book about the Tao Of The Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee fell into my hands 12 years before? Perhaps when my father taught me the basics of fencing when I was at the tender age of eight? Maybe even earlier than that?
It does not matter. Only there in the corral I realized that I have been preparing for this all my life. Here I was, there I stood. On that day. When everything came together and time space were justly aligned for me.
Every little act beared symbolism. My return to America after I spent so much important time there when I was a teenager. A consolidation with a part of me that always felt American and was drawn to return to this great country. Meeting with my teacher, friend and now brother Lonely Dog who was the first I ever fought with the stick and who showed me my weaknesses in the very early days by defeating me. But also drawing me into the Tao of the Dog Brother without ever being demanding. The time I spent with Marc and his wonderful family where I was able to replenish and prepare for the turbulent days ahead. The teachings Guro put into my mind and my heart. His way of leading by example.
Then arriving at Ganson's Place. Picking up the axe and hoeing the soil while the sun was setting on the horizon. It put me back into the days when the first pioneers - people who left torn Europe in hope to provide their children a brighter future far from home - arrived to earn their meager living by cultivating the lands of the west.
But also to those times when the Indians celebrated their warriorship in conjunction with mother earth. What a symbol to have two white horses to watch our efforts.
Over our heads soared two ravens. Those who are familiar with Norse mythology will know that mighty god Odin used two ravens to watch over the lands for him. I remembered my journey to Norway where I practiced swordsmanship on a holy island of the Vikings, an island where their kings and warriors were buried. This moment became also present for me, there, far away from the lands of my ancestors, far away in the west - at the shore of our civilization.
The fighters came from all so different walks of life. Each one was carried to this place by another path, another way, another Tao. Some came there just for the fight, some to put themselves on the test, some even just for fun. Whatever intention, whatever history behind each man - he found his place in the corral.
I realized that my path is a spiritual and philosophically one.
There came this one moment in time. I fought on Friday. I fought on Saturday. Those two days were the highlight of my entire martial art. Then on Sunday I decided it would not be time to fight but take a step back to watch from a distance. And what I saw was sheer beauty - and art - violence - and courage - dedication - and passion - and love - compassion - but also pain, taken - stamina - and spirit - fortitude - brotherhood - and faith.
So later that evening I found myself alone looking out into the distant horizon, seeing all this. Everything I was fell apart - and was put together anew. Past, present and future merged and became one. The corral was burned into my soul. I became the Red Dog.
What is it like to live on the day after? What is it like to move from here on? I do not know.
One thing is for sure. The adventure continues. It will. There will be other adventures. New ones, maybe different ones, plenty of them. Whatever happens, whatever awaits us in those tides of the world, we can be sure of one thing. There is a place of power within us now. A place we can access. If we allow ourselves. We can carry it out of the ritual into the real world.
Reality - when the duties of everday life catch up with us - can be a dull place without magic, without myth, without love, without glory.
But I do not worry anymore. There is a family in my heart. And a corral in my soul. I will spark a light where there is darkness.

Brought over from the DBMA Association forum to post for someone who is not registered on the public forum:
Woof , Finally back home and thought I would share my most memorable moments from the 3 days. Seeing Dogzilla ascend to the Council of Elders (watching him fight was also a revelation), the Espada y Daga fight between Red Dog and Pappy Dog was a thing of beauty and to the uninitiated would have appeared almost choreographed. Having Sled Dog run a clinic on me (the Illustrisimo cross step would have helped if only my brain didn't lockup). Poi Dog (Semper Fi Bro) tough as coffin nails and side splitting funny. Guide Dog who in addition to being an intelligent articulate individual, for me wins the Ironman award (I think he fought everyone who showed up!!!). Dog Pound who in addition to being a great fighter and a beast of strength was kind enough(one on one) to share his prayer goals for the weekend and allow me to share in the higher purpose of the Gathering. Dog Kase (Lightbulbs? Don't judge me) who in addition to his honesty and warrior spirit cracked me up every morning. Speaking in movie dialog with Pappy Dog (who was very kind to me, hooked me up with a tent and coffee, a big thanks to Linda also!) Getting the run down on gang mentality from Sheep Dog. Having Dog Matt smash my face with his head and having Tahiti Dog crack me at will (watch this guy he is scary good). Watching Lonely Dog fight, to me the ideal of beauty and brutality. So many others that I'll have to write down and organize properly. Between the fights and the camaraderie it just made me glow(still does). Even though I have a long long way to go, being the lowest in the company of great men is good and right. The final image for me is Crafty Dog speaking softly (his voice most likely hoarse from yelling "relax and move white man") in the coral, closing the Gathering. It brought to mind what the composer Stravinsky said about Segovia; "his voice is not loud but is heard a long way away". Thank you to all who participated and fought and welcomed me as one of their own, I am humbled by your generosity and honored by your company. Dog Randall

Brought over from the DBMA Association Forum:
My name is Imogen ( yes as in Imogen Heap) and I was at the three day gathering as a guest along with Matt Tucker ( time keeper) and my two boys,Jordan and Taylor who both had a ball....Jordan infact discovered a flair for photography during this time.....
I wanted to just let you all know my thoughts from an outsiders point of view.
When we arrived it was for me with slight trepidation, almost an intrusion to something I had only seen on DVD or glancing out the window at Matt in the garden, these feelings quickly dispersed as everyone was so welcoming and I soon had my eye on who I thought were the ones to watch.
My main priority was to keep my children occupied so they didn't disturb the focus but I still took it all in and it was very exciting to be part of the journey that took place at the ranch, there was a buzz all round as the corral was prepared for the days ahead ,I am sure everyone was thinking the same thing, what a wonderful opportunity this was and to make the most of it.
I cannot say that I know much about Dog Brothers but what I discovered was they are led by a unique man who had an amazing aura about him and that all the men were like minded, focused and disciplined which I can relate to very easily, as a trained dancer these traits are in me always and hopefully passed onto my children. Because of my background and lack of knowledge I looked at the fighters and chose my favourites because of who I thought had the "X Factor"( charisma) but I also found it hard to watch Ben or Scotty Dog get hurt as I had been to dinner with both of them!!!
I watched my husband in that corral timing the rounds and he looked like a little boy in his element almost skipping around...Some of you may know that he had a nasty accident a few years ago and nearly lost his hand which was devastating and then to see him involved in the gathering made me so proud.
After the three days were over and we moved on with our holiday the experience still stayed with us and I realised it was something that none of us will ever forget. I have just read Red Dogs poem which actually made me cry, it probably woudn't have done had I not been there........but I was. As I said at the beginning I went to the gathering with trepedation but came away from it refreshed
and with a spring in my step and a utmost respect for your art

Surgical Extractions
Ask Smiles at Hunters Creek if our services are right for you
Make an AppointmentWhat is a Surgical Tooth Extraction?
When a tooth is visible above the gum line and a provider can easily remove it with forceps, the procedure is called a simple extraction. General anesthesia may be admnistered to make you feel more comfortable and at-ease during the procedure.
If a more volatile tooth has yet to grow in, however, your provider needs to remove gum tissue or bone in order to extract it. This is called a surgical extraction and may require stitches to close the site so that it can heal properly. It is important to closely follow your provider's aftercare instructions to speed recovery and avoid complications.
Post Extraction Restorative Dental Solutions
The surgical extraction of teeth may sound a bit daunting, but with today's modern procedures and general anesthesia, you have nothing to worry about. That's because, although an extraction may be necessary, it doesn't mean you have to live with missing teeth. Your provider can perform the following restorative dental options to replace an extracted tooth:
- Single Implants
- Multiple Implants
- Bridges
- Implant Retained Dentures
- Standard Dentures
What to Expect with Tooth Extractions
We understand that the idea of having a tooth removed can be distressing and you may have some anxiety about visiting the dentist or oral surgeon because of it. General anesthesia can help make you feel more comfortable and calm during your procedure.
The gums around the area where the tooth was removed will be sore for some time and you will be given specific post-op instructions to ensure optimal healing.
When is a Tooth Extraction Recommended?
There are several reasons why tooth extractions are recommended, including the following:
- Severely damaged teeth
- Impacted teeth (this service is often referred out to an Oral Surgeon)
- Wisdom Teeth (to prevent infection)
- Severely decayed teeth
- Preparation for dental implants
- Preparation for orthodontic treatment
- Treat overcrowding
- Prevent gum disease or an infection from spreading
If the wisdom teeth or impacted teeth in the back of the mouth were removed, you will need to keep the area clean and avoid eating from that side or drinking anything with a straw to protect the area while it heals. Also, if the blood clot forming over the extraction area is dislodged or removed, it can delay healing and increase the risk of infection.
If you are looking for an experienced provider for wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions before dental implants, or other dentistry treatments, turn to Smiles at Hunters Creek for a stress-free experience.
It is important to remember that whether you have impacted teeth or a severely damaged tooth that cannot be saved, getting timely treatment can improve your oral health. Your experienced provider at Smiles at Hunters Creek can determine if you need a surgical tooth extraction. For more information, call us at 407-745-4188.

A teen pilot killed along with two friends in an Alabama plane crash had his own key to the aircraft and had flown it many times, his mother said Wednesday, denying authorities' assertion that the plane had been taken without permission.
Sherrie Smith said her 17-year-old son Jordan Smith was the one flying the plane that went down in the Alabama woods Tuesday night. The Federal Aviation Administration said the Piper PA 30 crashed less than a mile from the Walker County Airport in Jasper, which is northwest of Birmingham.
Smith says the owner of the plane had let her son fly it many other times and had given him his own key. Her son was a high school junior who fell in love with flying at an early age and was one test short of earning his private pilot's license.
"He had used the plane many times before," she said.
Her son had left the house around 6 pm to meet some friends at another airport in the area, and she said she last spoke to him by cellphone about four hours later. One of her son's friends called later about reports of a plane crash, and she tried to reach Jordan again but couldn't.
Sheriff's Chief Deputy James Painter said earlier Wednesday that authorities believed the three teenagers took off in the plane without permission.
"We don't know for sure but we think it was some teenagers who stole the plane and were sort of joyriding it," Painter told The Associated Press.
A call to the National Transportation Safety Board was not immediately returned Wednesday.
Walker County Coroner J.C. Poe said the other two people killed in the crash were Brandon Tyler Ary, 19, and Jordan Seth Montgomery, 17.
The plane had departed from the small airport around 10:30 p.m. in overcast skies and a low cloud ceiling, airport manager Edwin Banks said.
"It was a student pilot flying an airplane without permission, an airplane that he was not qualified to fly at night," Banks said.
Banks said Smith had flown single-engine planes in the past, but the plane in the crash was a double-engine aircraft.
The Piper PA 30 is also called a Piper Twin Comanche. It is a low-wing plane with two propellers and can seat four to six, depending on the model.
The planes were built from 1963 until 1972, and were popular with flight schools because of their fuel efficiency and relatively inexpensive price tags, according to the International Comanche Society, an enthusiasts' group.
Sherrie Smith said the plane was parked behind a security gate, but that her son had been given a security code to access it.
She also said her son had enough promise as a pilot that he'd already earned a scholarship to Wallace State Community College to study aviation.
"He started going to the airport when he was 14, and friends would take him up," she said.
Jordan Smith's father is an Alabama state trooper and member of the Alabama National Guard who is currently serving in Afghanistan.
"We were working on getting him his own plane when he was a senior," she said of her son.
The plane went down in a wooded, swampy area just over the fence from Margaret Swann's hay farm. She said training flights from the airport circle over her farm routinely and she guessed that Jordan Smith was flying the same pattern before the plane went down.
"It's just three kids making a wrong decision," she said.

What Is a Pulley?
The pulley is a wheel mounted on a shaft or axle. Its purpose is to support the movement of a cable that is taut. This cable transfers power to a shaft. However, there are certain safety precautions that you should follow when using a pulley. Read on to learn more! Listed below are common uses and their main parts. Listed below are some of the benefits of using a pulley.
Common uses of a pulley
A pulley is a common mechanical device used to increase the force needed to lift a heavy object. Most commonly, these devices are used in construction equipment. These machines use high-10sion ropes to transfer heavy objects from 1 floor to another. Other common uses of a pulley include buckets and flagpoles. These devices are extremely useful in a wide range of applications. To learn more about the common uses of pulleys, keep reading.
A pulley is a wheel with grooves for holding rope. Its purpose is to change the direction and point at which a pulling force acts. It is usually used in sets to reduce the amount of force needed to lift a load, but the work involved is similar. Pulleys are also used in rock climbing devices. For many applications, a pulley is a vital part of construction.
The most common use of a pulley involves hoisting and lowering a flag. Other examples include clotheslines, bird feeders, and escalators. Pulleys are also commonly used on oil derricks. Many other common applications include hoisting and lowering garage doors. Pulley systems are also used in engines and cranes. For more information, check out our interactive pulley diagram!
Pulleys can also be used to lower total work required for a task. In many cases, a pulley will consist of 2 parts: the pulley hub and the shaft pulley. The hub clamps the shaft pulley, while the pulley itself is connected to the motor or other device. If you're looking for a pulley, it's important to learn how it works.
The most common uses for a pulley involve lifting heavy objects, and the mechanism used to lift them is known as a pulley. A pulley is an industrial device that uses 2 wheels to reduce the force needed to lift a weight. The pulley reduces this force by half by allowing the user to pull on the rope 4 times as far. The pulley also allows for a smaller lifting distance.
Main parts of a pulley
A pulley consists of the main element of a system. This is typically a cable, rope, belt, or chain. There are 2 basic types of pulleys – a Driver Pulley and a Follower Pulley. Pulleys are available in small and large sizes. The periphery part of the pulley is called the Face, and the protruding middle part is called the Crown. A pulley's face can be round, rectangular, or even "V" shaped.
The first pulley was created by the Greek mathematician Archimedes in the third century BCE. These simple machines are made of a rope, an axle, and a wheel. The pulley's end is attached to a person, object, or motor. These machines can be used in various tasks to lift heavy objects. The pulley is a great mechanical advantage for any lifter.
The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley is defined by the number of rope segments that pull an object. The higher the number of loops on the rope, the higher the mechanical advantage. The greater the mechanical advantage, the less force is required to move the object. Likewise, the greater the distance the rope traverses, the higher the mechanical advantage of a pulley. There are several different types of pulley, depending on their combination of rope, wheel, and rope.
The basic components of a pulley are the face and hub, and the rope is threaded into the center of the pulley. The pulley is usually made of a rope and can be used to lift heavy weights. It can also be used to apply great force in any direction. Step pulleys have multiple faces, which are fixed in sequence. They can also increase the speed of the driven pulley.
A pulley is a simple machine consisting of a wheel, rope, or chain. These parts are crucial for making moving and lifting easier. Because they change the direction and magnitude of force, they can be a useful tool. Some pulleys even change direction. You can learn more about the pulley by downloading this resource today. The resources are designed to support the new 9-1 GCSEs in Design & Technology and Engineering.
Mechanical advantage
Pulleys have been used to move heavy objects for centuries. When 2 rope sections are used, the weight of a 100kg mass can be moved with only 500 newtons of force. Adding an extra pulley increases the mechanical advantage. If the pulley has 2 wheels, the distance between the rope sections and the wheel grooves is only half the distance, but the mechanical advantage still applies. Adding another pulley increases the mechanical advantage, but can be risky.
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force used versus force applied. The calculations are made under the assumption that the ropes and weights do not elongate or lose energy due to friction. If the weights are very light, the mechanical advantage is greater than that in the real world. To calculate the mechanical advantage, the weight of the load to be lifted must be the same as the weight of the person using the pulley.
A single moveable pulley has a mechanical advantage of two. The weight passes around the pulley, and 1 end of the rope is attached to a fixed point. The pulling force is then applied to the other end of the rope. The distance the weight travels doubles, or halved, depending on the direction of the pulley. Adding a second pulley reduces the distance and the effort required to lift it.
There are several ways to calculate the mechanical advantage of a pulley system. Some methods are specific to certain types of systems, while others work for all systems. The T-Method is a good choice in many applications, as it calculates the units of tension for each rope segment. Once you have determined the input force, you need to determine the maximum force that will be applied to each component. A compound pulley, for example, will require 4 units of tension for each rope segment.
In simple terms, the effort is the amount of force needed to lift the load. This force is measured in newtons (N). A mechanical advantage is often presented without units. If the student does not have this unit, you may need to convert the units to newtons, since 1 kilogram is equal to 10 newtons. If you can't figure out the units of effort, you can use the KWL chart provided by the teacher.
Safety precautions
There are a few safety precautions you should take when using a pulley. First, always check the SWL (safe working load) before attaching anything to the pulley. This indicates the maximum weight and angle the pulley can safely handle. Second, make sure that your work area is free from people and debris. Third, wear a hard hat to protect your head from blows and falling objects.
Another important consideration is anchoring. Although the pulley reduces the weight of an object, it is not enough to eliminate the weight. This is especially true if you are hoisting a heavy object, such as a motorcycle or lawnmower. It is important to ensure that the anchoring point can support the entire weight of the load. It is also important to follow proper anchoring procedures when using a pulley to lift a motorcycle or lawnmower.
In addition to the safety latch, you should use a tag line to control the suspended load. Remember that a chain pulley block is necessary for vertical lifting. You should also wear personal protective equipment (PPE) while using a pulley to avoid injuries. If your workplace does not have an PPE policy, you should consider implementing a similar policy. These safety guidelines are a good start.
If you are using a pulley to lift heavy objects, make sure to wear gloves. Those who are not familiar with rope-pulling will have an easier time demonstrating how it works. If you are using a rope-pulley system in a classroom, be sure to follow lab safety guidelines. Wear cloth gloves, clear the area, and do not jerk the rope. In addition, never allow yourself to be pulled into the rope by an unfamiliar person.
Another important safety precaution when using a pulley is to ensure that the anchor point for your system is adequate to support the weight of the object being lifted. Check with the manufacturer of the pulley to find out what its weight limit is, as some types of pulleys are designed to lift much heavier weights than others. It is important to follow all manufacturer's instructions when using a pulley.
