It is somewhat personal to me as I was one of the 900 Marines 2 miles from the HOOD detonation on July 5th, 1957. I did not know until I read the caption in the book that I was present at both the largest, and first hydrogen, bomb exploded in the US.
I hope to hell we never see any comtemporary photos of atomic explosions. The photos in this book ought to be enough for all time.
For those of you that like the feel of a solid book in your hands, "100 Suns" will not disappoint. The 208 pages contained within are high-quality, thick photo pages. Each photo is displayed over the entire page and are of excellent quality. There are no wordy descriptions written across the photos, or at the bottom of the pages. All information is noted in the rear of the book, where there are short descriptions of each bomb test that is documented in this book.
A previous review stated that if you have seen "Trinity & Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie" that there is nothing new here. This is true in the respect that most of these tests are covered in that documentary. However, "100 Suns" allows you to examine the photos and reflect upon them in a way that film does not allow. Additionally, the book shows pictures of the people involved in the tests (soldiers and such), which is an aspect that the "Atomic Bomb Movie" does not tap into in depth.
Overall, this is a great piece of photo history that will also fufill a role as an excellent coffee table book.
They have a way of creeping into your consciousness, with reminders of what you read or saw, etched in your memory, nudged back to the surface by a thought, a comment, or simply because you can't seem to stop thinking about them.
Michael Light's "100 SUNS" is one such book, and compelling to the point I feel it important to write about here.
The book documents two decades of U.S. nuclear testing through 100 unreal, yet so very real, photographs. Half are of the desert land based tests, the others are of tests performed over the ocean. Most are of the mushroom clouds, but many show the military personnel that observed these detonations.
The photographs, simply put, are stunningly beautiful and terrifying all at once. In general they gradually depict increasingly powerful explosions, from the first nuclear test, Trinity, that began mankind's nuclear era, to the megaton monster tests in the Pacific Ocean.
Each photograph is detailed at the back of the book, which while inconvenient, does at least keep the photo pages uncluttered and focused on the images. The images are identified by the test's name and the tonnage. The names of the tests are unremarkable, certainly intentionally given what they identified, yet image after image gets burned into your mind, not soon to be forgotten. A time line of the nuclear arms race helps pull all the visuals together.
These are reminders of terrifying destructive power that used to be a daily reality, and that today, with the concern that nuclear bombs might get into the hands of terrorists, is once again a force of human nature that cannot be neglected.Read more ›
Knowing that these images represent the ability to destroy on a massive scale, one might find it hard to divest themselves of their instinct to be horrified and shun these pictures, but if you can do so, I think you'll find a great collection of some of the most stark, eerie, organic and beautiful images of our recent secret history. The fact that these pictures were taken for documentation purposes, rather than those of art, makes the dichotomy between the beauty and the horror of this book even more apparent.
Well worth the simoleons.
There's the seemingly harmless--and innocently named--Little Feller I (#46), a "mere" 18-ton-TNT-equivalent delicate puff rising from the barren Nevada desert, captured 40 seconds after detonation.
And then consider Bravo, the largest single nuclear explosion ever. At 15 megatons--the equivalent of 15 million tons of TNT--it released in an instant more energy than all the ordnance spent in World Wars I and II combined.
The list of captions in the back of the book provides interesting data about each test and makes a nice tidy summary of our government's Cold War excesses. Light's book includes a chronology of developments in the nuclear era, including year-by-year counts of Soviet and U.S. nuclear weapons stockpiles. It is noteworthy that, during the hottest years of the Cold War, when the U.S. public was being warned of a widening "missile gap" with the Soviet Union, we always had a greater number of warheads, often as many as ten times more.

IOWA CITY, IA - DECEMBER 12: Actors Ashton Kutcher and wife Demi Moore watch the second half of the game during the Iowa-Iowa State college basketball game on December 12, 2008 at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. Johnson and Kutcher, both from Iowa, were in Iowa City raising money for flood relief charities in Eastern Iowa after a 500 year flood devastated the area. (Photo by David Greedy/Getty Images)
Happy 49th birthday to Demi Moore, who just looks amazing for a starving Somalian. Remember it was just like a two or three months ago that Demi Moore looked sorta hot? That was before she caught her husband and Twitter quitter Ashton Kutcher cheated on her. Now she's looking more and more like the Crypt Keeper than the once hot actress. There is no reason for her to look this disgustingly emaciated unless shes starring in "Thinner 2." Now we all know why Ashton went and banged a spry 22-year-old chick. Share this:

Understanding Rheumatic Fever
Understanding Rheumatic Fever -- the Basics
What Is Rheumatic Fever?
A rare but potentially life-threatening disease, rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated strep throat caused by bacteria called group A streptococcus. The main symptoms -- fever, muscle aches, swollen and painful joints, and in some cases, a red, lattice-like rash -- typically begin two to four weeks after a bout of strep. In some cases, though, the infection may have been too mild to have been recognized.
The knees, ankles, elbows, and wrists are the joints most likely to become swollen from rheumatic fever. The pain often migrates from one joint to another. However, the greatest danger from the disease is the damage it can do to the heart. In more than half of all cases, rheumatic fever scars the valves of the heart, forcing this vital organ to work harder to pump blood. Over a period of months or even years -- particularly if the disease strikes again -- this damage to the heart can lead to a serious condition known as rheumatic heart disease, which can eventually cause the heart to fail.

Understanding Rheumatic Fever -- Diagnosis and Treatment
To determine the presence of streptococcus bacteria, your doctor will do a throat culture. This uncomfortable but risk-free procedure involves swabbing a sample of throat mucus for lab analysis. It usually takes 24 hours to grow and analyze the culture. Some doctors also use a rapid strep test that can give results in about five minutes, but it isn't as accurate as the culture. Your doctor will also give you a complete exam, listening to your heart for evidence of heart valve malfunction -- which...

Rheumatic fever can also cause a temporary nervous system disorder once known as St. Vitus' dance, now known as Sydenham's chorea. This is a nervous disorder -- characterized by rapid, jerky, involuntary movements of the body, usually occurring more on one side of the body. People with mild cases of chorea may find it difficult to concentrate or write. More severe cases can cause the muscles of the arms, legs, or face to twitch uncontrollably. It can also be associated with muscle weakness and emotional outbursts.
Because of antibiotics, rheumatic fever is now rare in developed countries. In recent years, though, it has begun to make a comeback in the U.S., particularly among children living in poor, inner-city neighborhoods. The disease tends to strike most often in cool, damp weather during the winter and early spring. In the U.S., it is most common in the northern states.
What Causes Rheumatic Fever?
Rheumatic fever results from an inflammatory reaction to certain group A streptococcusbacteria. The body produces antibodies to fight the bacteria, but instead the antibodies attack a different target: the body's own tissues. The antibodies begin with the joints and often move on to the heart and surrounding tissues. Because only a small fraction (fewer than 0.3%) of people with strep throat ever contract rheumatic fever, medical experts say that other factors, such as a weakened immune system, must also be involved in the development of the disease.

Continued Improvement in Construction Activity Expected in 2013-14
Gains in commercial projects expected to outpace improvement for institutional and industrial buildings
Market forecasters are increasingly optimistic recent gains in non-residential construction activity will be sustained, and the growth momentum in spending will continue to build as we move through 2013 and 2014.
The most recent forecasts, compiled by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Consensus Construction Forecast Panel, show spending growth of 5 percent in 2013 accelerating to 7.2 percent in 2014.
Activity in the commercial subsector is expected to lead the upturn, with predicted improvement of about 9 percent in 2013 followed by almost 11 percent in 2014.
Spending for industrial buildings is predicted to grow at about the same rate as the average for the overall non-residential sector over 2013-2014, while activity is expected to expand more slowly for work on institutional buildings (with a significant share of these projects dependent upon funding from cash-strapped federal, state and municipal entities).

Kinda cool to walk around a bit. There are a few different areas to walk to on the grounds. They were reconstructing something while we were there.
we happened to stop at the Second House Museum when there was a craft fair there. the craft fair was small but there were a couple interesting vendors. the museum was lovely and interesting. i love learning a bit about the local history of the places i visit.
While on my vacation i thought i would visit second house. I found it intresting. I was the only one on the tour. It is important to keep history alive.
Nice visit, but quickly lost the kids interest. Not many interactive exhibits at all. Could use some things to attract the younger ones.
This is a good museum for the family. They are trying to raise money for a native american museum as well. I hope they open it soon. So much history in this town
First time I visited the grounds was during a craft fair and the beauty in July was amazing. If you have not visited this as of yet a person should as it is pleasant to walk and view the grounds, besides the house (museum) History needs to be kept alive.

sorbet replied to sorbet's topic in Personal logsDay #14 I broke out a lot this week, particularly on my chin and in the middle of my jawline which I haven't had before. My face has calmed down in the past two days, and looked a lot better this morning (possibly because I used the original scrub on my face last night?). I've been scrubbing every second day now that I think my face can tolerate it, and I would say my forehead and nose are looking smoother. I alternate between the original scrub and the face scrub. I've also started using the tea tree gel as a spot treatment exclusively, as I don't think my Botani cream was having much of an effect. Since I started this, my face is drier but the acne on my jawline has flattened out and I haven't broken out there as much. Thank you! I'm really liking their range so far, and the original scrub is amazing!! Let me know if you decide to try any of them out, I'd be interested to know what you think.

Olympus SH-50 promises to beat blur with five-axis image stabilisation
Olympus has announced its latest flagship zoom compact, the Olympus SH-50, at CES 2013 in Las Vegas.
Claiming a world's first, the SH-50 features five-axis image stabilisation, and gives you a 24x optical zoom lens - meaning you'll be able to grab those photos or video from a distance without the worry of wobble. The image stabilisation uses the same technology as the Olympus OM-D compact system camera.
The 24x lens runs from 25-600mm; the maximum f/3.0 aperture means this isn't a fast lens, but that's typical of this type of zoom lens on a compact body. Olympus is hoping the stabilisation will mean that hand-held night shooting remains possible: it gets its own position on the mode dial, after all.
A 16-megapixel CMOS sensor lies at the core, ably supported by the TruePic IV image processing engine, claiming to give you high sensitivity with low noise.
You'll find all the normal Olympus shooting modes present, including things such as smart panorama, telephoto macro and manual controls. The 3-inch 460k-dot display on the rear is touch enabled.
The Olympus SH-50 is priced at £249.99 and will be in stores from mid-March.
If that's a bit out of your range, then the Olympus SZ-15 will give you a 24x optical zoom lens for less cash. It's the same 25-600mm zoom range and F/3.0 aperture, but you don't get the fancy image stabilisation.
The SZ-15 also loses the CMOS sensor in favour of a 16-megapixel CCD, so while it still offers a great zoom in a compact body, the lower specs will likely see lesser performance.
The Olympus SZ-15 will only cost you £179.99 however, available from mid-March.

DURANGO, Colo. — A dramatic rock formation in southwestern Colorado that was home to ancestors of the Pueblo Indians 1,000 years ago now has protection as a national monument — a potential boost for tourism in a state key to the presidential election.
President Barack Obama signed a proclamation Friday creating Chimney Rock National Monument, preserving nearly 5,000 acres of high desert around the spires that hold spiritual significance for tribes.
The designation — celebrated at the site Friday by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet — comes as Obama and Republican Mitt Romney intensify their battle for the presidential vote in Colorado, considered a swing state. Romney returns to Colorado on Sunday to campaign.
Yet both Democrats and Republicans — including Republican Rep. Scott Tipton, who represents southwest Colorado — had worked for years to create the monument in the San Juan National Forest west of Pagosa Springs.
"With President Obama's action and the strong support of the Native American community and others throughout the region, this new monument will bring new economic opportunity to Archuleta County and the Four Corners region," Vilsack said in a prepared statement.
A study commissioned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation said a monument designation could double the site's economic impact on the region from $1.2 million today to $2.4 million by 2017.
Some presidential designations of national monuments have been strongly opposed.
President Bill Clinton's designation of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah in 1996 angered many residents and politicians who wanted to tap underground energy deposits there. Montana ranchers and others oppose a contentious federal proposal to convert a vast swath of eastern Montana into a new national monument.
When Obama took office, some Western conservatives were suspicious his administration would go on a national monument-creating spree. Obama has designated two other national monuments: Fort Ord National Monument in California, and Fort Monroe, a former army base in Virginia that was a safe haven for slaves during the Civil War.
Ancestral Puebloan farmers in the Chimney Rock region built more than 200 homes and ceremonial buildings high above the valley floor to be near the sacred twin rock pinnacles. They inhabited the region for more than 1,000 years but had left by 1300. Their disappearance is still a mystery.
The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970.

In the US, 7 Sept this year is Labor Day. And to celebrate, we are offering a 15% off coupon code "MKBDAY2015". From now until Labor Day, get 15% off from our buy.thingm.com/blink1 store. Get a blink(1) if you don't have one or get another!
Control blink(1) with the flick of your wrist
Zack made Myo 2 Blink, an interesting Octoblu example using a Myo gesture armband to change the color of a blink(1) notification light depending on hand gestures. (If you've not heard of Octoblu before, check it out. If you have heterogeneous IoT or other devices talking to each other, you may need it. It's a visual tool for describing how data should flow, connect, or be transformed and analyzed) To make it work, Zack created a small iOS app that talks to the Myo band via Bluetooth and publishes blink(1) color changes to the Octoblu Web API over the cellular network. It's pretty slick for a simple demo.
IoT Scavenger hunt w/ Raspberry Pi & blink(1)
Recently folks at TheAppsLab organized a scavenger hunt game for the KScope15 conference. In their write-up, they described the Internet-of-Things style devices they built to track people's game progress. These devices were battery-powered, WiFi-enabled Raspberry Pis with NFC readers and blink(1)s, and probably cost less than $150 each. Amazing!
This year we organized a scavenger hunt for Kscope15 in collaboration with the ODTUG board and YCC. […]
The Smart Scanner was a great way to showcase IoT. We used the beloved Raspberry Pis to host an NFC reader. We used the awesome blink(1) USB LED light to indicate whether the scan was successful or not. We also added a Mini USB Wi-Fi dongle and a high capacity battery to assure complete freedom from wires.
After the event they had another write-up about the success of the scavenger hunt, with some nice words and some great pics:
The Scavenger Hunt was quite a comprehensive system for people to win points in various ways, and keep track of events, points and a leaderboard. And of course, we had one Internet of Things (IoT) component that people could search for and tap to win points.
And here is the build, with powerful battery connected to it, complete with anti-theft feature, which is double-sided duct tape :) All together, it is a stand-alone, self-contained, and definitely mobile, computer.
Isn't it cool? I overheard on multiple occasions people say it was the coolest thing at the conference.
Steam buddy indicator with blink(1) & Python
Do you love playing games on Steam? We sure do. Awhile back, Justin emailed us saying he whipped up a handy Steam buddy indicator using the one of the Python blink(1) libraries and the Steam Web API. In just a few lines of code, his buddy indicator visually cycles through the online state of select Steam buddies.
Catch a video demo of it below. And the code to try out yourself is right here: blink(1)-steam.zip.
Thanks Justin, this is awesome!
Team status with blink(1), Raspberry Pi & IFTTT
We have sold a lot of blink(1) notification lights to large organizations. We've always wondered what these companies are using our devices for and recently someone from a team within a company whose name rhymes with "voogle" contacted us and sent us this neat team tracker using blink(1)s, a Raspberry Pi, and IFTTT.
"Hi, I just wanted to send you a pic of v1 of our team status board. We're using IFTTT connected to a gmail account to control each person's light, e.g in the morning when they email the team to say "WFH today", their light will turn yellow. V1 uses 13 lights and a raspberry pi connected to wifi. We have a long roadmap of enhancements (including making a better housing) but thought you might enjoy seeing the first iteration."
It's really neat to see how our products are being used and mapping each team member to their own blink(1) looks like a big physical IM/Skype availability status window.
blink(1) notification light 15% solstice sale!
It's summer time!* and to celebrate we are having a 15% off blink(1) notification USB RGB LEDs and accessories at http://buy.thingm.com/blink1. Use discount code "solstice2015" at checkout and blink up your summer. Sale ends 6 July 2015.
(* if you're not in the Northern Hemisphere or want to avoid customs fees in the EU area, check out our list of great international blink(1) resellers)
Easy blink(1) desktop mount
If you love cables and good bargains, you should definitely check out Monoprice. Recently on Monoprice, we discovered a little $1.76 "USB Docking Station" that is a great way for making a desktop mount for blink(1). It's really just a USB extension cable on a plastic base, but that's so useful! See it on one of our desks below.
French blink(1) reviews & tech article
A couple of reviews of our blink(1) notification light have shown up recently in the French-speaking part of the Web. As English speakers, it's always interesting to see other languages' versions of the technical terms we use every day. French especially, see below.
- Pandoon.info: Review: USB blink(1) mk2 (LED de notification)
- Maison-et-Domotique.com: Test du Blink(1) mk2: un petit dongle pour des idées lumineuses
And for the more command-line inclined, here's a French language version of using blink1-tool on a Raspberry Pi:
Remember, in the EU, we how have several ways to buy blink(1), including Domadoo now too.
BlinkM as neat last-minute parade wearable
Adrian on Twitter writes "Hoped to have some kind of wearable thing for
@PrideWinnipeg, but I wasn't sure I'd have time to make something. Then I remembered I have a BlinkM." And then later: "It's a BlinkM using strips of grocery bags under 1/3 of a ping-pong ball, sandwiched between sanded plexiglass using 1/8th bolts."
Here's his wearable heart that beats the flag colors. So neat!
Microsoft Outlook mail checker for blink(1)
Here's a great way to hook up blink(1) up to Microsoft Outlook. Github user @sajingeo created a nicely-written Python script "outlook.py" that polls queries Outlook and then calls "blink1-tool". You don't need to be running Blink1Control to get this to work. (if you are, just use the "blink1control-tool" cmdline program instead of "blink1-tool"). He also includes a handy batch file to start it all off. Thanks sajingeo!

* Credit Suisse, BTG top rankings in value, number of deals * Bankers see private equity jump-starting M&A deals By Guillermo Parra-Bernal SAO PAULO, Oct 2 Concerns about growing state intervention, a slowing economy and new antitrust rules have driven merger and acquisition activity in Brazil to a five-year low so far in 2012, but bankers are confident a recovery is just around the corner. Companies announced $53.99 billion worth of deals in Brazil between January and September, down 10 percent from a year earlier, according to a quarterly Thomson Reuters report on M&A activity. That's the lowest total since $35 billion in M&A deals were announced in the same period of 2007. The downturn in M&A activity is worldwide. Europe's debt crisis and an economic slowdown in China have investors and dealmakers retrenching around the globe. In Brazil, a growing government presence in the economy has clouded the outlook even further. In recent months, President Dilma Rousseff has steadily put pressure on banks, telecommunications companies and power utilities to lower rates for consumers, creating uncertainty about potential financial returns in those industries. "Greater market volatility and a more active government stance in some sectors have made it harder for bids and offers to converge," said Renato Ejnisman, managing director for investment banking at Bradesco BBI, the investment banking arm of Brazil's No. 2 private sector bank, Banco Bradesco . The situation underscores some of the policy risks in Latin America's largest country as Rousseff uses regulatory powers in a bid to strong-arm companies to invest more. Capital spending as a percentage of gross domestic product has fallen this year to the lowest level in almost two years, a trend the Rousseff administration is scrambling to reverse. The introduction of changes to antitrust laws in June probably made companies and banks more cautious in the third quarter, Ejnisman said. Still, concerns about an increasingly activist government are unlikely to stop foreign companies from investing in Brazil altogether, bankers said. Under the new rules, antitrust agency Cade has no more than 330 days to review a proposed merger. Companies and advisers may be trying to gauge how quickly Cade will act, but so far the agency is approving deals faster than expected. Concern that Cade will drag its feet "is simply overdone," said Daniel Wainstein, chairman of Goldman Sachs Group's Brazilian investment bank. "We have witnessed a rather good pace of approval so far since the implementation of the new rules." RECOVERY UNDER WAY While the value of M&A activity in Brazil is down this year, the number of deals actually rose by 38 to 596 in the January-September period, the Thomson Reuters report showed. That, bankers say, suggests a recovery is under way. Foreign and local banks are betting on M&A advisory work as a stable revenue source in Brazil regardless of how fees behave, said José Olympio Pereira, chief executive of Credit Suisse Group's Brazilian unit. Fees in Brazil will likely amount to less than the estimated $800 million in fee income last year, bankers say. Staff and capital levels are widely seen as adequate, meaning that any recovery is unlikely to lead firms to hire massively or deploy additional resources or money into operations, bankers added. "There is a lot of competition, but there's also a lot of work to do," said Pereira, whose bank tops the M&A rankings in Brazil this year. Deals handled by Credit Suisse include Lenovo Group's takeover of Brazilian electronics maker CCE. During the third quarter, Credit Suisse overtook Itau BBA, the investment banking unit of banking giant Itau Unibanco Holding, as Brazil's top M&A advisory firm. Credit Suisse advised on $19.31 billion worth of M&A transactions through September, followed by Itau BBA's $19.11 billion, the Thomson Reuters rankings showed. BTG Pactual, the Brazilian investment bank owned by billionaire financier André Esteves, topped the ranking in number of deals advised with 64, followed by Itau BBA's 51. Unlike counterparts in other emerging markets such as China, Brazilian banks have consistently bested their foreign rivals over the past two years at funding deals, forging stronger client ties and setting up distribution networks similar to those of global banks. Four local banks were among the Top 10 rankings for the fifth straight quarter, the report showed. One of them, BR Partners, which ranked 10th, is an advisory-only shop. INFRASTRUCTURE COMES TO THE RESCUE Still, foreign banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co and Citigroup Inc gained ground in the rankings, mainly because of their role advising private equity and sovereign wealth funds on Brazilian deals. JPMorgan, for instance, ranked fifth with $11.79 billion in advisory work in Brazil, compared with a ranking of 17 at this time last year. Wainstein, of Goldman Sachs, expects M&A activity to recover as buyout firms - which last year raised $6.3 billion for their Brazil investments - resume purchases in the retail, infrastructure and consumer goods sectors. Bidders may take advantage of lower valuations caused by a year-long economic downturn to step up acquisitions, bankers said. Media reports say local steelmaker CSN is considering a bid for ThyssenKrupp's money-losing SteelAmericas unit. And Vivendi, Europe's largest media company, may sell its Brazilian unit GVT to raise cash, sources told Reuters recently. According to Marco Gonçalves, head of M&A at BTG Pactual, a $33 billion government plan to boost infrastructure investment in roads and ports will create "massive opportunities for our clients for the coming months." More private equity firms from the United States and sovereign wealth funds from Asia and the Middle East are also eyeing Brazilian companies now that the local currency, the real , has lost some ground against the U.S. dollar, both Pactual's Gonçalves and Goldman's Wainstein said. Strategic buyers, especially deep-pocketed local players in the mining, banking and consumer goods industries, are on the lookout for takeover targets in a country where more than 40 million citizens joined the middle class in the past decade, Credit Suisse's Pereira noted. With interest rates expected to remain near all-time lows well into 2013, M&A deals will become more appealing for buyout firms. "The level of activity in this segment is good, and looks even better for the coming months as the cost of capital declines," Wainstein said. The following is a table with year-to-date rankings: ================================================================ FINANCIAL ADVISER VALUE RANK NUMBER OF MARKET OF DEALS 2012 2011 2012 DEALS SHARE ================================================================ Credit Suisse $19.31 bln 1 4 30 35.8 pct Itau BBA $19.11 bln 2 1 51 35.4 pct Citigroup GB&M $16.27 bln 3 11 8 30.1 pct BTG Pactual $14.48 bln 4 2 64 26.8 pct JPMorgan Chase $11.79 bln 5 17 11 21.8 pct Goldman Sachs $10.77 bln 6 3 8 20.0 pct Bradesco BBI $10.30 bln 7 6 25 19.1 pct Rothschild & Co $10.20 bln 8 9 14 18.9 pct Bank of America $9.71 bln 9 8 8 18.0 pct BR Partners $7.15 bln 10 19 9 13.3 pct ================================================================ INDUSTRY TOTAL $53.989 bln 596 ================================================================

meet your specialist trainer Brad Howe
Bark Busters Home Dog Training North Chicago, Waukegan IL
We adopted a 18 month old Shepherd/Lab mix from a shelter. She was a very sweet dog but was highly energetic and mouthy in our house. Brad came to our house and spent 3 hours on our first visit. It was easy to tell that he has a great love for dogs and is incredibly knowledgeable about their behaviors. Within 10 minutes of him being at our house, he did what he called an "intervention," and we could see a huge difference in her behavior. Brad had a way of being not only strict but also loving with our dog and she immediately respected him. After our first 3 hour session, we were taught some very specific strategies to help manager her behavior in our house. This included teaching her to stay out of the kitchen while we were eating and also stopping her mouthy behavior as well as jumping on people. We also did some initial work on leash walking. His ideas were very easy to follow and made total sense. We have been working on these strategies and have noticed significant improvement in her behavior. Brad came back for a follow up visit and helped us work on some of the original interventions that he taught us yet we were struggling with. Again after this visit, we felt very confident and relieved that we had ways of dealing with our dog's behaviors. Although she still has puppy tendencies, we feel that with Brad's expertise our dog is well on her way to becoming a very well trained dog. We love the fact that he encourages us to contact him at any time with questions/concerns. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs these services.Lisa R.June 12 2016
og Training Waukegan IL, North Chicago, South Central Lake County!
Are you frustrated or embarrassed by your dog's behavior? There is a way to resolve ANY bad behavior - choosing a dog training program like Bark Busters that really works!
Together we'll work to resolve bad dog behaviors, including:
- Dog aggression
- Dog barking
- Dog chewing
- Dog digging
- Dog housebreaking or potty training
- Separation anxiety
- Sibling rivalry
How We Train
There are many dog training programs available, but none have had the success of Bark Busters nationwide ... more than 1 million dogs successfully trained. Our dog training success depends on:
- In Home Training. I come to your home and train your dog. Why in home training? Home is where your dogs are most comfortable and most receptive to changing unwanted behaviors. It's also where most of the bad behaviors occur.
- Personalized Dog Training. Group dog training classes are a "one size fits all." Bark Busters develops a tailored dog training program specifically to address YOUR dog's behavioral issues.
- Positive Dog Training. Too many dog training programs rely on treat training, shock collars or harsh methods. At Bark Busters we'll teach you how to be the "leader of the pack" using voice commands and body language. Dogs use body language for 80% of their communication, so it makes sense to use these same methods to communicate back to them.
- No limitations. I have never met a dog I couldn't train - any dog, any age, any size. Together, we will make sure you have a well-behaved dog ... guaranteed!
- Unprecedented Guarantee. The Bark Busters guarantee simply states that if youcarry out the training instructions provided at our training lesson, myself or anotherBark Busters dog behavioral therapist (in case you move) will work with you for the life of the dog at no additional charge
Who I Am
After over 25 successful years as a wholesale live Maine Lobster supplier in the Chicago area, and needing a change for the second half of my life, my fact-finding mission brought me to Bark Busters Home Dog Training. Being familiar with different dog training styles, I could appreciate the Bark Busters dog obedience methods and its impressive successes. Therefore, I had no need to look further.
To put it simply - I am passionate about what I do. Being a professional dog trainer and dog behavioral therapist is extremely rewarding as I make a positive difference in the lives of people and their dogs.
Dreams Do Come True.
I will show you how once the leadership role is taken over by the humans in the household, dogs are willing to surrender that role if they feel safe with their humans as the "pack leaders."

how we can help you and your dog
The Bark Busters Home Dog Training Methods helps solve dog behavior issues such as aggression towards people or other animals
- Cure embarrassing habits like barking, jumping up on people, scratching & whining at doors or inappropriate toileting.
- Create an obedient dog or puppy that will happily walk on the lead without tugging, sit or stay on command, and come immediately when called.
- Set off-limit areas for your dog.
- Reduce the stress of separation anxiety without the need for sedatives or drugs.
We teach you to communicate with your pet.
Blah, blah, blah, bad dog! blah blah. Do you think your dog isn't listening to you? Maybe you're simply not speaking his language. You may have heard of dog whisperer or dog listener techniques. The Bark Busters dog training method is based on the way dogs communicate with each other and how they learn from older, more important dogs in the pack. This is what makes our dog training unique and effective.
Why do we train in your home?
Your dog lives with a family, in a home. This is where he misbehaves most often so this is where training is most effective. Dogs learn by association. Bark Busters teaches your dog to listen in the home environment. If he does not listen at home, he will not listen outside your territory.
Training in your home is a one-on-one system without the distraction of other dogs or the stress of being sent away for training.
Of course, where you are experiencing problems outside the home such as pulling on the lead or dog aggression, we will set up controlled training situations in the park or wherever is most practical.

NHL Awards Talk

Comments (0)
Alan Ryder at the Globe & Mail:
The Hart Memorial Trophy is awarded to the player judged to be "the most valuable to his team". Although a literal read of this clearly means that a goaltender ought to win this prize each year, the award has typically (nearly 90% of the time) been presented to the NHL's most impactful skater, as judged by the voters. And the Hart has usually gone to a forward (about 80% of the time). This year's 'nominees' (the top three vote getters) were forwards Jarome Iginla, Evgeni Malkin and Alexander Ovechkin.
The Lester B. Pearson Award is awarded to the player judged, by his peers, to be "the most outstanding player". In the voting for the NHLPA's award the players have shown an even greater bias towards forwards than do the hockey writers who choose the Hart winner.

Hockey Bloodlines in the Draft
by Alanah McGinley on 06/11/08 at 11:15 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Larry Wigge at NHL.com,
Hockey bloodlines, you see, are notoriously accurate in predicting which players you might take a harder look at in the annual draft. This year is no different. For instance:
* Alex Pietrangelo will be the first player picked in this draft who has ties to the game. His dad's second cousin is Frank Pietrangelo, who was a goaltender in the NHL for many years with Pittsburgh and Hartford.
* Colin Wilson is the son of former NHL center Carey Wilson.
* Philip McRae is the son of former NHL winger Basil McRae.

Business is Good

From TSN,
Three years after the league shut down amid concerns of skyrocketing salaries, the average NHL player is now making more than pre-lockout levels.
Sources tell TSN the average salary for NHL players this season was $1,906,793, an increase of more than 11% over last year ($1,708,607).
Not surprisingly, league revenues have also increased by close to $600 million since the lockout, translating into escalating salaries.

Glenn Anderson and the HHOF
by Alanah McGinley on 06/10/08 at 05:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
Yesterday I posted reference to Joe Pelletier's list of potential HHOF candidates this year. Today, David Staples at the Edmonton Journal took issue with Joe's remarks about Glenn Anderson, whom Joe inferred might not be a good candidate because of his personal life history. Staples' response:
Anderson was an offbeat guy, not the best interview, not a favourite of the media. He also had a major issue with child support payments, which will make some people think less of him as a man and certainly as a father.
Now, I would never argue Glenn Anderson belongs in the Fathers Hall of Fame. He has had his struggles in that regard and he has to live with his failings and, one would hope, make amends as he can.
But other players have black marks on their personal lives, from problems related to cocaine use to allegations of having sex with minors, from issues of tax evasion to just being a plain old jerk. If the committee investigated every player thoroughly, it would likely find some blemish on every man, some more serious than the problems caused by Anderson, some less serious.
But should issues of morality really be the deciding factor with Anderson? That doesn't seem consistent or fair.
It's a good question in general: How important should one's personal life be when it comes to entering the HHOF?

Paranoid Canadian Lawyer
by Alanah McGinley on 06/10/08 at 11:07 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Rick Westhead at the Toronto Star,
Toronto lawyer Richard Rodier is part paranoid, part Canadian patriot. Both personality traits surface when he discusses his partnership with Jim Balsillie and their efforts to bring a NHL team to Hamilton.
His age?
"Not relevant."
His past clients?
"I can't tell you. Solicitor-client privilege."
His relationship with Balsillie?
"I don't know. We work together."
However, suggest that he and Balsillie would both be a lot closer to getting an NHL team if they were more diplomatic with the league, and Rodier warms considerably.

Fast-Tracking Draft Picks
by Alanah McGinley on 06/10/08 at 10:28 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Ken Warren at Canwest via the Vancouver Sun,
"Guys get fast-tracked because of free agency at 27. You need cheaper players. You're going to see lots of players come right out of junior who are going to play on the big team."
More and more, NHL teams appear to be building around a core of franchise-type players, signing them to multi-year contracts while filling in the rest of the roster however possible.
"You're locking up five or six guys long-term, with big money, and your other guys are moving on," Murray said. "That's why we've increased the amount of people on our amateur scouting staff. Every team has over the years. Since the new [collective agreement between the NHL and the players' association], you have to draft guys who can come up and play. You can't have a draft where you get nobody. That kills your organization."

Fleury at Fault
by Alanah McGinley on 06/10/08 at 01:03 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Stan Fischler at Game On,
Let's not get carried away with the Marc-Andre Fleury phenom stuff. One prominent goalie coach tells us that if anyone cost Pitt the series, it was the Pens' netminder. "He started the series badly and that's how he ended it—with two terrible goals in Game Six. The second [rebound] goal was bad and he had no business letting the puck go through his legs before he eventually knocked it in on the winner. By contrast, Chris Osgood made the saves that he had to make." The bottom line on Fleury is simple; his consistency is missing.

Buyout Time
by Alanah McGinley on 06/09/08 at 06:49 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Lyle Richardson at Fox Sports,
The NHL's buyout period runs from June 15-30, with most usually occurring within the first week.
Unlike in previous years when buyouts were few in number, the increase of the salary cap to an anticipated $56 million could see teams more receptive to buying out contracts of players who for various reasons may no longer fit into their future plans.
Topping the list of this year's potential candidates is Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery…

Worth the money!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fenix TK11R2 2 Level High Performance Cree LED Flashlight, Black, 6- Inch (Sports)
For an objective review, I must tell you two things: 1. I just received this flashlight two days ago, and 2. I am already a big fan of Fenix lights.
That being said, what a great little light! I bought this after my positive experience with the Fenix PD30, so I already had high expectations. The light did not disappoint.
The Build: Quality. The machining is excellent, the seals good, the fit on the parts is tight but not impossible to move, and the button has a good feel to it. It is easily turned on with my mildly arthritic thumb, and it has a momentary switch in the endcap. The knurling is nice, and though the finger tabs are small, they are also not obtrusive in your pocket, so I am going to say that they are a plus.
The Light: Blinding. I am probably going to get sued by one of my workers... I shined it at him to be funny from about forty feet away...he was not amused. I tested it at different distances, both inside a building and outside.
Inside it lit up the hallways even when the lights were already on. The longest hallway in our building is 104 feet long, and the light put up a circle at that distance that was about 10-12 feet by 10-12 feet, with another 10 feet of spill on each side. The circle was bright white and easily definable. Outside it was no less than excellent. I walked down the alley where it is totally black. When I finally turned the light on I sent all sorts of rats and raccoons scrambling. I shined it into a yard that was about 75 feet away and it became essentially daylight. I have read reviews that compare it to a car headlight. I would say that is true, if it was the halogen headlight on my pickup truck, focused a little tighter.
The low power is more than enough, and reminds me of the old D Cell days. I spent a couple of hours out in the cold playing around, and saw no decrease in power, which is what I expected with the flat regulation. I am hoping this will be similar to my other Fenix lights, and that it will meet the manufacturers specs regarding length of use. I am using two rechargeable CR123's, and felt no shake from the batteries.
Overall I am very pleased, and felt it was worth the money.
