I've been doing the travel for so many years, I think it just caught up to me. It was a gut-wrenching decision to make. I just felt the time was right. All the ownerships treated me terrifically.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 10
i already wrote a zine exactly like this! with the same title and everything! i put it out last year!
just kidding. ha. i lied.
keep me reminded on this. i'll write ya up something. maybe tonight, even. Lying is a great topic...
I wrote a zine about all the times I told the truth. It was what you might call a mini-zine.
last year, my uncle and aunt gave me a makeup kit. like, one of those things with sparkly lipgloss and pink nailpolish and crap you'd give to a girly thirteen year old.
... anyone that's met me ONCE knows that isn't me. and these people have known me for nineteen years.
I made my face up like a cat. they seemed confused.
also, I got barbie dolls till I was like... geez, sixteen, maybe? I didn't even like barbies when I was little, I used to chew their feet off.
I was just reading about something called the "radical hoensty movement." Basically if you get an ugly sweater for Xmas you say "This is an ugly fucking sweater and if you knew anything about me at all you would know this is the type of thing I would never wear. Not only that, it's too fucking small. If you don't care enough about me to get me something that at least fits you shouldn't waste your time and money." Supposedly this is liberating and once you get going it really cuts through a lot of the bullshit in your everyday life. The guy who started the movement says that he will lie to the government and no one else. I can support that, but overall I think it's better in theory than it is in practice.

Reviews for Layered Ham and Spinach Salad
"This was a good salad, but I would make a few changes: first, my husband said there was too much dressing, so I would cut the dressing ingredients in half. Also, I used packaged pre-shredded cheese, which made it much too salty, something I've noticed before - shred fresh from a block of cheese. Save 1-2 of the hard-boiled eggs to garnish the top of the salad. I did add chopped fresh pineapple chunks layered with the ham - the sweetness contrasted very well with the saltiness of the bacon. However, I suggest draining the pineapple well on paper towels first so that excess liquid from them doesn't ruin the salad's texture. I used a medium package of baby spinach, which was plenty - I don't think 16 cups is necessary unless perhaps you're using the regular, torn up."

Seriously good writing by Daugherty today on the state of the Redlegs. Just not ready for prime time. We need somebody to step up.
Seriously good writing by Daugherty today on the state of the Redlegs. Just not ready for prime time. We need somebody to step up.
Like Thom does so each time he speaks, so does PD demonstrate a very shallow understanding of MLB with every peck of the keyboard. Surprising he enjoyed the constant droning on about RISP by Brenneman during EVERY Cardinals broadcast.
The only thing I am agreeing with at this time is the bonehead plays are occurring way too much this season. Not sure of the reasons or the fix, but that is the one dig I can dig.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em

Any good points he makes are erased by his obvious trolling of those whose opinion's differ from his.

If Joey Votto had Matt Holiday and Matt Carpenter hitting ahead of him....Good Lord...
Here's what I want all you RBI guys to explain to me right now. Take two sentences and explain, with facts, how Brandon Phillips can be 2% below league average as a hitter and have all these riuns driven in.
Just explain it. Two sentences.
Go ahead-
OnBaseMachine (08-29-2013),wheels (08-28-2013),WVRedsFan (08-29-2013)
PD's baseball writing is as shallow as Thom's announcing, instead of emphasizing each play with a admonishing over used adjective like Thom he leans on cliche and baiting.
Simply put he might be right in theory but he can't explain it without coming off like an arse.
Oh yeah, Latos isn't an ace because he didn't pitch a shutout against Joe Kelly.And if M. Latos is gonna be the ace, he best out-pitch Joe Kelly, no matter his mates' ineptitude.
This is one of the worst lines I have ever read in a baseball column.
What columnist actually lists "I told you so's?"
It amazes me someone actually read this article and thought "wow, these are some good insights."

"I can make all the stadiums rock."
-Air Supply
Confession: Im not the biggest baseball fan. Mostly, baseball works best as a concept: The idea of going to a game can be better than actually following through. A starry night, a slice of moon, warmth. The perfect green symmetry dominating our vision for 180 degrees, like bright green paint spilling across a panoramic canvas.
The home team, winning more than not.
All wonderful. After three innings, then what?
I get a little wiggly."Interesting how so many fans are so concerned about trading prospects for established talent. This time, it involves acquiring J. Blanton from Oakland for, apparently, Bailey/Cueto, Votto and a lesser prospect.
I do it in a second""By the time he left here, traded to Texas for some kid pitcher with attitude issues, Josh Hamilton somehow had gone from thrill-a-minute heartwarmer to entitled eggshell. The Reds dealt him for Edinson Volquez, a trade that is just a few floors and a fast elevator from Manhattan-for-beads and Robinson-for-Pappas.
How about we bring him back? "
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

WHS Welcomes Dr. Patricia McConnell
Patricia McConnell Lecture - The Emotional Life of Animals
Milwaukee Public Library's Centennial Hall, Thursday, March 19, 7-8:30pm
Join the Wisconsin Humane Society in inviting Dr. Patricia McConnell, Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and noted author for this informative and entertaining evening lecture at the Milwaukee Public Library's Centennial Hall. Dr. McConnell has hosted "Calling all Pets" on Wisconsin Public Radio for fourteen years, providing her intuitive and expert advice to animal-loving listeners. Now, it's your turn to see Dr. McConnell in person!!!
The Emotional Life of Animals
Ever looked at your animal and wondered how much of her emotional life is like your own? Learn the biology behind emotion in both you and your companion animal, and why it's reasonable to believe that all mammals share the emotions of love, fear, sadness, happiness and anger. This entertaining and informative presentation includes slides and videos that illustrate what emotions really are, what emotions we share with our animals, and what ones we might not. Included is practical information about how to handle problematic emotions like fear and anger. The evening ends in a celebration of the amazing emotional bond between us and our beloved pets. The fee for this lecture is $15. Dr. McConnell will be signing books and DVDs after the lecture. REGISTER HERE!

The Army, Air Force, and Navy have been advertising for recruits on GLEE.com, a networking Web site for gay professionals. Upon realizing the advertising campaign was aimed at gay recruits, Major Michael Baptista said:"We don't knowingly advertise on that particular Web site" because it does not "meet the moral standards of the military." Most military jobs that were posted were aimed at finding people to fill positions they have been encountering difficulty in filling. Steve Rails of the Service members Legal Defense Network, a gay advocacy group, commented that gays "have been drummed out of the armed forces for using sites like GLEE."
At which point will the silliness and immorality cease of allowing men and women to die who are gays and lesbians while at the same time insisting they are not wanted? The positions being advertised are difficult to fill, wouldn't it make sense to get qualified people to fill them? I find it most ironic that gays and lesbians are kicked out of the armed forces for going to Web sites on which the military is advertising!

Ozarks grad presents research at national biology conference in Puerto Rico
Release Date: 6/7/2012
Andrea Muffuletto, who graduated from U of O in May with a degree in biology, took some of her award-winning work last month to the 2012 National Beta Beta Beta (BBB) Biology Honor Society convention, held in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
At the end of March, Muffuletto won the John C. Johnson Award for her presentation at the BBB South Central Regional conference at the University of Oklahoma Biological field station on Lake Texoma, Oklahoma. The award came with money to attend the national convention in Puerto Rico.
Muffuletto's research involved separating and identifying levels of a certain protein in both cancerous and non-cancerous melanoma. "It was my fifth time to give this poster presentation on my research," Muffuletto said. "I'd done it previously at regionals and before that during my summer research last year at UAMS, as well as on campus at Ozarks and at the Arkansas Idea Network of Biomedical Research Excellence conference in Fayetteville. Anyway, it went really well. In fact it went so well I only got to see one other presentation that Saturday when everybody was presenting their posters. Although they allowed us a time period to go and look at some of the others, I had so many people coming up to ask me about mine that I never actually had time to go look."
She said she was grateful for having the opportunity to present her material several times. "I was able to perfect it a little bit more each time I gave it," she said. "I was worried a little in San Juan because I didn't get as much time to go over the material beforehand as I had in other presentations. But I realized once I got out there that the information was basically ingrained in me by that point. All the information I'd thought I couldn't remember came out as soon as I started talking about it. I haven't had numerous opportunities to give presentations like that more than once, so it was a good opportunity. Probably something I'll never forget."
Muffuletto did get to enjoy one other presentation. "It was very interesting. I got to know the girl presenting it pretty well afterward. Her research was over the coquí frog, which is one of the most common frogs on the island of Puerto Rico. Coquís have also become established in Hawaii, where they are considered an invasive species. She had actually gone to Hawaii to do her research. They were studying this frog because it is influencing the environment in Hawaii and they want to figure out how much."
Muffuletto is intrigued by studying the effects of invasive species to an eco-system. "It's hard to say whether the effects are always negative," she said. "I think obviously if the species is not native, there can be some unintended consequences of bringing it to the area. Even if the species is brought there for a 'good reason,' it's hard to predict the side-effects. Sometimes though an invasive species just appears, and it takes awhile to figure out whether it was introduced accidentally, or migrated there because of changing conditions in its home environment, etc. An example is the recent invasion of giant Asian Tiger shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico. Not only are they cannibalistic, like most shrimp, but they are so much bigger that they are decimating the smaller shrimp population. Nobody knows why they're showing up. If you talk a scientist, I'd assume their presence is a bad thing because not only is it devastating the native shrimp population, but it's going to have numerous effects that probably haven't been pointed out or understood yet. On the other hand, if you're talking to someone in the restaurant business, you might think 'Giant shrimp cocktails? Sure!' Maybe they'll be able to figure out what exactly the long term impact really is. It's a fascinating topic."
Muffuletto said the Puerto Rico trip wasn't all spent giving presentations. "The convention was four days long, and the first couple of days were devoted to field trips to see some of Puerto Rico's great natural diversity," she said. "The field trips were fantastic. On that Thursday we visited the Parque de las Cavernas del Río Camuy, the Camuy River Cave Park. It's one of the largest cave systems in the world and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The caves were carved out by the by Río Camuy, the third-largest underground river in the world. On that same day we also went to The Arecibo Observatory, which is a radio telescope with a 1,000 ft. dish. It's enormous. It has been used in different movies, including the James Bond movie 'GoldenEye.'"
On that Friday, Muffuletto's explorations included a trip to Puerto Rico's 'dry forest' -"You know they have rain forests there," she said, "but also they have these dry forests, which is kind of misleading because they're not really dry" - but she said her favorite of all the different excursions was to one of Puerto's famed bioluminescent bays. "There are bacteria in the water there that are naturally bio-luminescent," Muffuletto said. "When they are stirred up they glow. So you go out in a boat and they have a volunteer who hops in the water so they start moving. That was really neat. Probably the best thing I saw. But the whole trip was such a wonderful experience and one I will never forget."
Muffuletto says she is torn about what to do next. "I have thought about going on to get my master's degree and Ph.D.," she said, "but also maybe to pursue certification as a Master Physician's Assistant. But I'm also interested in the administrative side of working in medicine. I like people. I met a woman at UAMS in Little Rock who had a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology but chose to work as a recruiter for UAMS. She knows her science and can answer any questions anyone might have about the school. That would be interesting to me. My father got his undergrad degree in Radio/Television but ended up going on to law school. You never know where life is going to take you, and that's where I'm at right now. I want to do everything but I am having to narrow it down. I think I might learn Spanish next. They say Rosetta Stone is the way to go!"

Many pundits and journalists have declared this year's U.S. Senate race in Kentucky to be the contest to watch this year. The contenders, Republican incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell, Tea Party challenger Matt Bevin, and Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, frequently garner national media headlines.
The race was in the spotlight again yesterday as former President Bill Clinton attended a rally for Grimes in Louisville. I asked KET Associate Producer Ali Ord to cover the event, take a few pictures, and report on what she observed.
The luncheon was a fundraiser for Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky's Secretary of State and candidate for the U.S. Senate. Local and national media as well as an over-flow crowd of well-wishers packed the room. Why? To hear former President Bill Clinton campaign for Grimes. No surprise there: Clinton is an old friend of Grimes' father, long-time state Democratic operative Jerry Lundergan. Plus, the former president lives to campaign. "Getting Bill Clinton on the campaign trail is like force-feeding sugar to an ant," joked former Clinton advisor Paul Begala. "You don't have to ask him twice."
With guest speakers like a past president as well as Congressman John Yarmuth and Gov. Steve Beshear working to unseat Sen. McConnell, the race will definitely be exciting. I think the real question is who will McConnell bring in to campaign for him?
As I made my way into the Galt House in Louisville to check-in before the event, I didn't know what to except. The closest I have come to the Oval Office is co-producing coverage of the 2012 Vice Presidential Debate in Danville for WYMT-TV. I arrived at the Grimes fundraiser two hours early and it wasn't long before the media began to file in, setting up camera positions, opening laptops, and preparing for the moment Clinton would enter the room. The audience seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and the opportunity to see the former president on a stage only a few feet away. If you care about politics, then your eyes are on this race – and the media is making it easy for us to follow it.
At this event I saw representatives from MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and other networks, plus The New York Times and The Washington Post. Sam Youngman, who is covering the race for the Lexington Herald-Leader, said Tuesday's turnout by the media was, "A pretty strong showing by the national press this early in the year. There's obviously a lot of curiosity about the race and the Grimes campaign, and, of course, Bill Clinton, arguably the best campaigner of modern times, always draws a crowd."
This is an important race for Kentucky and the nation. The polls show it to be close. We'll keep our eyes on the candidates and the media covering the contest in the months ahead.

Information on stroke easily accessible at NIHSeniorHealth
August 22, 2005
Stephanie Dailey, NIA | 301-496-1752 | email@example.com
Kathy Cravedi, NLM | 301-496-6308 | email@example.com
Each year, more than 700,000 strokes occur in the United States, nearly three-quarters of them in people over age 65. Because the risk of stroke more than doubles each decade after age 55, it is especially important for older Americans to know stroke's warning signs and act quickly. Now, information on how to reduce risks of stroke, recognize symptoms, and treat stroke's damage is available at NIHSeniorHealth Web Site. The NIHSeniorHealth Web site is a joint effort of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Library of Medicine (NLM), which are part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"Stroke is an unmistakable event. Few other medical conditions come on so suddenly or are so noticeable to a bystander," says John R. Marler, M.D., associate director for clinical trials at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), which developed the content for the stroke topic on the NIHSeniorHealth Web site. Because stroke injures the brain, the person having a stroke may not realize what is happening. But to a bystander the signs of stroke are distinct and sudden:
- Numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg (especially on one side of the body;
- Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding;
- Trouble seeing in one or both eyes;
- Trouble walking, dizziness or loss of balance or coordination;
- Severe headache with no known cause.
In treating a stroke, every minute counts. New treatments are available that greatly reduce the damage caused by a stroke, but they must be delivered quickly after symptoms begin. Knowing the symptoms, calling 911 immediately, and getting to a hospital are critical to preventing long-term disability.
One of the fastest growing age groups using the Internet, older Americans increasingly turn to the World Wide Web for health information. In fact, 66 percent of "wired" seniors surf for health and medical information when they go online. NIHSeniorHealth, which was designed especially with seniors in mind, is based on the latest research on cognition and aging. It features short, easy-to-read segments of information that can be accessed in a variety of formats, including various large-print type sizes, open-captioned videos, and an audio version. Additional topics coming soon to the site include osteoporosis and heart disease. The site links to MedlinePlus, NLM's premier, more detailed site for consumer health information.
The NIA leads the Federal effort supporting and conducting research on aging and the health and well-being of older people. The NLM, the world's largest library of the health sciences, creates and sponsors Web-based health information resources for the public and professionals. Both are components of the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and Ranking Member Jeff Sessions (R-Al.) both have expressed support for biennial budgeting -- a proposal to convert the budget process to a two-year cycle. The comments were made at a hearing last week on budget process reform.
At the hearing, Maya MacGuineas of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Don Kettle of the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, and David Kendall of Third Way generally agreed that biennial budgeting could have positive effects such as providing Congress with time for more effective oversight. They cautioned that it is not a solution in itself and should be accompanied by additional reforms.
With potential benefits such as increased oversight, a more orderly budget process, and fewer opportunities for fiscal irresponsibility, biennial budgeting should be considered by Congress. In an op-ed published in The Hill last year, Cliff Isenberg, The Concord Coalition's chief budget counsel, argued that biennial budgeting would be most effective if it is included as part of a broader proposal involving other budget process, spending and revenue reforms.
In a second panel, former Senate staff testified on improvements that could be made to Senate procedures for considering amendments to the budget resolution. The current process -- often referred to as the "vote-a-rama" -- has been criticized for requiring votes on hundreds of amendments with little time for substantive debate. Reforms discussed would limit the number and scope of amendments while allowing more time for debate.
The committee has scheduled a second budget process hearing for this week. Also this week, congressional committees have until Friday to submit recommendations to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction.

Oh, the Bass is like the fish, because my last name is Bass, hurrrr. I always got made fun of for it in school, but now I embrace the fun.
Sorry for the black shirt/brown shirt. I wanted it to look very graphic, so I needed black outlines, which would have gotten lost on black. Plus, I tend to pick a color of shirt to cheat the 6 color rule. I thought I would need it for the brown on the bear, but ended up changing my mind later. Hopefully it would look ok, if by some galactic stroke of luck this made it to the fog, or HM later.
Glad you guys think the ridiculousness is fun! It was my goal :D.
Your Monster Pot got an HM from the last derby- I was really happy about that it's exciting to have a great new artist enter the derbies. I'm really enjoying yours and Walmazan's fresh new talent! Keep up the good work!

KingPascal wrote:Personally I like the design. I understand why it was rejected though. I've seen similar designs around the block. I am new to this site also. I must say I hope you were using sarcasm when you mentioned history seeing that this site has been around for only 2 years or so. If you weren't kidding I must tell you that is not history kitty. I have a Art History degree and understand the history and depth of images throughout time. That is what is a matter with this younger generation of kitties is that they think everything started with the internet and cell phones and have no true knowledge of the history of art and culture.
Nothing ever produced on this site has anything to do with art history. The number of designs that could even be called artistic is shockingly low, not to mention nearly every technique employed here is directly a result of the digital age since everything is produced on illustrator/photoshop/etc. But if you think that a lot hasn't happened over the course of 115 derbies you are sorely mistaken. There's a lot more information applicable to this contest than you could ever get with a art degree. Some knowledge on rejections, topicality and past designs goes a long way and is much more important than any formal art training.
New people don't know voting trends. They don't know fad trends (if frightened foods and bird profiles doesn't mean anything to you, you don't know anything about shirt woot). Most voters can't be troubled to look at a designers track record over a few months to judge originality or creativity.
I will say that most people with formal training in any sort of art or graphic design tend to have a giant leg up on the average user but it is in no way necessary.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the heads up. It was just the first place my mind went to when I thought of national parks for some strange reason. I have been a woot member for years, and have already made several purchases over at kids woot for my son, but I am new to these shirt derbies (this is the third week I have entered something) so I am still trying to get a feel for the community, but I definitely like the way the site has almost a sense of loyalty and family to the regulars (who do some amazing work).
I have been a colored pencil artist for about 18 years now, so shifting over to a digital medium without blending and gradients almost feels like I am starting all over again! I do like the challenge, though, and will continue to hang around and submit as time permits. I will try not to reference any vulgar bodily functions in my next entry, though! ;)

I'm pretty sure more skull shirts exist than any other kind of shirt. And as with other heavily half-toned designs, I just don't think this will print well. All of the distinct dots will look pretty messy inside the design.
If I haven't actually purchased, I'm usually a fan or your stuff since it tends to be fairly fresh compared to the norm but this one is a miss for me.
I'd have said this earlier, but I'm with you.
It's going to sound offensive, but when I saw this, I thought it was Seki from the thumbnail. The halftoning. The garish colors. The Shiny Shiny Glowy Shiny. And while I certainly enjoy seeing cmdixon work in the derby, and unlike who I believed it to be, I KNOW you can do better and have seen you do better, it doesn't make me like this more.

It is recommended you bring your own rope, net, or other dipping apparatus, and refer to the posted safety guidelines at the gates.
No lifeguard is on duty.

It's a tough call. The half-tones don't look bad in the large photo, but as I mentioned with "Air" They are much more distinct in person than they look photographed and the close up you posted shows that fairly well. It's just not a look I like that much but some do.
What is absolutely glaring, which bald bob already mentioned, is how absolutely drastic the color change is from the comp to the shirt. It's nowhere near as subtle, there is none of the depth and the ink is about 10x too bright. Not to mention the navy in the comp isn't even close to the shirt color (which is woot's fault unless ramy uses custom colors).
Additionally, a lot of the halftone effects around the girl and especially on the drips got turned into solid swatches of color which really subtract from the design overall, which is a huge problem with ramy's designs. Woot simply cannot print them as shown.
I have to agree with Bald Bob. If that was the shirt I got compared to what I thought I was getting I'd be furious.

This is absolutely gorgeous - the colors and the detailing, and until I read the comments, I would have bought this even though I wish the right side didn't go up so sharply. However, now that I've read the comments, I can't stop seeing the skull, which I wouldn't want to wear. D'oh.
Nonetheless, excellent job on the design, especially the colors and lighting.. really impressive.

Re: Smoky Mountains
The shirt is quite endearing but I'm not sure I'd buy it (if it was up for purchase who knows but it's a long shot now and an HM win is never guaranteed).
That said the best thing about this design for me is the shirt comp. The asphalt looks absolutely true to life which is getting rare with all of the comp effects and woot's horrible template colors. Kudos to you.

Re: Detroit Urban Renewalhttps
You think GM can't afford lawyers anymore?
HA! Freaking awesome!
Something I have always found hilarious is the old school imagery of circus bears on unicycles. This to me feels like a like a play on that concept evolved by modern television extremeness.
And the way it is executed is perfect. First glance at the image made me smile before I took in the sign and the rest of it. Bear on quad with explosion in background works with or without any context.
Great work!
Also, I would love to see a larger version of this, to take in the details.
Re: Joshua Tree Sunset

Yeah, but I tussled with the color of the shirt for a long time. It looks real cool on purple, but woot doesn't sell purple shirts. I went with the most "cavey" color, though I'm experimenting with, don't laugh, yellow right now...

Scientists aren't sure why whales breach. Some say it's to clean off parasites. Others say it's just for fun.

The white bumps on a right whale's head are skin abrasions called callosities. Extensive hunting has dramatically reduced this whale's numbers, and estimates are that only about 300 remain in the North Atlantic.

Kentucky State Police is investigating a death in Hodgenville.
Workers with the LaRue County Maintenance Department found the body of James Everett Martin, 43, in a lake in front of the maintenance building Thursday morning.
A LaRue County resident, Martin was familiar to many Hodgenville residents because he was seen frequently riding through town on his bicycle. He reportedly lived in the White City area with his mother.
Martin had been missing since Saturday. The body was taken by the LaRue County coroner to the Medical Examiner's Office for autopsy.
Additional details on the police investigation will be available in Friday's print edition of The News-Enterprise.

First time here, hope you can help me! I'm having trouble in locative (prepositional phrases when it comes to identify which verbs actually DEMAND them)
transitive locative: send e.g. John sent flowers to Mary NP+VP+NP+PP
hang e.g. Peter hung the picure on the wall NP+VP+NP+PP
are there any other transitive locative verbs, that you MUST write the prepositional phrase? Please help!
intransitive locative:walk e.g. I walked in the park (gotta say where right? so VP needs prepositional phrase PP? as a must right? or since I can say: I walked yesterday it's not considered intransitive locative, believe me I've googled since yesterday and can't find a clear explanation on this subject!
live, e.g. I live in Lima
sit, e.g. I sat on the sofa (that I'm 100% sure! at least that is intransitive locative VP+PP)
work, e.g. I work at KPMG (but still I can say I work hard sooo? how do I divide the one that are only intransitive locative??)
stand, e.g. I stand behind the door
Please give me a light here!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|This is the most helpful thread! Thanks to everyone. Rudy the rescue ( now 14 months old) has been with us 3 months and is going through the three month adjustment, I think. He always was reactive to other dogs, which is getting more pronounced (louder) but more easily managed (no lunge, able to re-direct attention to me) : unless he's surprised. Then, he goes ballistic. I have a feeling this is fear. He does not snarl or growl, his hair isn't usually up, but once he did go after the other dog (didn't get there, after I regained my balance).He is so loud! The other day he started in the car (1st. Time for that) and I now know why they call them woofers. He gets turned and we go the other way( woofing), he will get a leave it when he alerts but still woofs, he has started woofing while in the house. We have actually put a stuffed toy dog down on the floor to acclimate Rudy to a dog, and it took a while for him to ignore the stuffed animal and walk past it without getting all tense. Is this because he is more comfortable with us? Is it possible that it is fear? Walks are a little difficult but manageable,but he's scary to others when he starts his noise. That's really what I don't like, I don't care if he has doggy friends or not, he has us, after all. But it's the scaring of other people that bothers me. Should I send him to boot camp, and if it is fear, won't boot camp make him more scared? Or am I totally overthinking this? The only thing I know about him is that he was being trained for protection or security, turned in to a shelter cuz he " wasn't mean enough",he didn't know how to play with any toys when he came to us. Incidentally, he has terrible hips. He had awful sep anxiety which is now resolved. He was pretty aloof for the first few weeks. He is well trained, except does not yet work well off leash. He's sweet and is completely bonded to us...any thoughts would be so helpful, as he is my first GSD though I've had many many dogs throughout my life. Never one like this guy!
Misslillybean: thank you for posting this. My 5 1/2 old german shepherd girl is in this same phase. Today at training classes she had a run in with a dog. I had to get down on her level. Correct the behavior by letting her know what she is doing is NOT ok. Then I went up to the people who had the other dog while my husband held our girl right behind us. I went up and pet the other dog and showed her it was ok and talked to the other dogs owners. After that she was MUCH nicer to the other dog(s). It's definitely embarrassing and people just stop and stare. You will have to let me know what works for you so we can try some other things if what we're doing doesn't work. Good luck with your girl.

Does she do it when it's coming at her or as it's coming up behind her? To correct her, you need to get physically in front of her (body block) so she doesn't have a choice but to look at you. It also breaks the sensory input from what ever she's looking at.
At her age, you can also start practicing Bad Dogs Don't Go Walkies. Start quiet, on your own street where she's familiar. Don't go far and if she doesn't react to anything, oh she's the best girl in the whole wide world. If she reacts, block, correct, go home, bad girls don't go walkies.
If you're phsyically able to give her a correction, try a martingale (combo collar) before going to a prong. This company's great. USA made, they ship fast and if your girl happens to eat it, they'll send you a new one.

But, letting her get entrenched in this behavior may actually be worse than giving a correction and moving on. A purely positive approach to this might cause the dog more pain and even injury in the long run, depending on what type of collar you are using. Car chasing is dangerous, and lunging at other dogs, people, bicycles can cause injury as well. It should be no-nonsense, no emotion. If she pulls you down and you lose the leash, she can be dead. So some things you have to take all things into consideration.

|If you go down the correction path, some important things to consider are timing, intensity, and proper usage of the tool. Correcting swiftly right before she starts to act up and not after she is already lunging.
|my guy chases cars when he's on leash. as funny as it is cause he's 25 lbs it's also very dangerous. so I started, whenever we hear a car and he looks at it with his chase look, going down to his level and putting a 'hug' around him. still holding he leash, one arm around his neck and one arm over his chest. I'm not squeezing, but it's impossible for him to chase. i also talk to him as it goes by. this may be easier for me because my guy is smaller than yours but it could be worth trying.
Ok, I am glad I asked, because I was going to say, raising her away from her litter would not have helped. But if you mean from 8 - 16 weeks, yeah, the dog missed out on some serious socialization period.
There are two ways you can go here. It sounds like you have tried the treats and stuff, and the dog is in such a zone that it can't eat a treat. Ok. The positive people would encourage you to stay outside of the dogs threshold. This means starting at maybe fifty feet away today, and you see a bicycle, the dog sees it and it is far enough away the dog not react, you click and treat and go home. Stay at that level for a couple of days or a week and then bring it closer, 45 feet. 40 feet. Keep the dog under the level where it reacts.
The other thing you can try, if you are convinced that this is a dog with a solid temperament, is to fit the dog with a prong collar and the moment it starts to go into its routine, give a quick correction, and keep going. Eh! It's just a dog, and keep moving. Don't stop. Don't socialize. Do not apologize (unless she connects which goes without saying). Just keep moving, "Eh, it's a dog," and then Heel! Good Girl, Good Heel. That prong collar will probably snap her out of the zone and at that point, Heel! and immediately when she is in position, Good Girl.
That is correcting a youngster for something that could be a fear-reaction, but it could be not allowing a dog to bask in her fear, and learn a coping method that is embarrassing and unhelpful.
About a month or so.
Edited to add: I had to check the dates on some photos to confirm. LOL! I've had her since Valentine's Day.

Donald Tusk won election as the new prime minister of Poland in a smashing victory over Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kacynski. The Civic Platform party headed by Tusk won 40% of the vote which translates into about 194 seats in parliament. Tusk has made clear he wants Polish troops returned from Poland and expects the United States to provide greater incentives to Poland for stationing their missiles in his country. The European Union will heave a sigh of relief getting rid of Prime Minister Kacyskinski who opposed the EU on a range of issues including wanting a death penalty, environment concerns, and his opposition to abortion. The Prime Minister has consistently differed with leadership and decision making processes within the European Union.
It is good news that Poland is now more in accord with European Union views on a variety of issues. His insistence on withdrawing Polish troops simply means there is one more member of the "unwilling coalition" in Iraq.

Thread: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
Secondly, the guy who says he is 80% sure that Teo is involved is a friend of the Tuiossosopo guy who is evidently the originator of this hoax. I would consider that a far less reliable source than the actual investigator.
Lastly, I think you make a great point. Let's see if there is any money trail. Whoever it leads too is probably the most guilty in this mess. I'm not sure why Teo would want to set up such an elaborate hoax for a few thousand dollars, but I will withhold final judgement on that for now.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
There are a lot of teams in the NFL that value character EXTREMELY highly. Jacksonville under Gene Smith literally would not draft a single player who had any smoke of any kind in their personal life--arrests, questionable references/connections that turned up on background checks, unfavorable media attention, etc. Obviously he's gone now but he's not the only GM in the league who operated under those principles. Obviously as you said I'm not sitting in any war rooms but there are dozens and dozens of examples of GMs emphatically stating that guys were not on their big boards due to character concerns or other non-football issues. You might not like it but that's reality.
Funny how you've instantly bought into the notion that he's a victim despite the balance of evidence seriously undermining that chicanery. Also funny how you could possibly spin even the most favorable interpretation of this into something that's "hardly a rare flaw." The truth is still unknown at this point but it's absolutely laughable to spin even Te'o's version of the story as anything but a colossal demonstration of awful judgment even for a 21 year old.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
The NCAA starts to get suspicious when you start taking repeated trips across country. I don't believe this relationship was that long and that Teos story that they met at the Stanford game in 2009 was his cover to provide legitimacy to what was a completely online relationship. That was his fault there.
He was unable to attend the funeral because he was told it was on the day of a game.
From everything I'm seeing, this whole hoax was started by someone who he knew and at least semi-trusted, so if that person told him that she was unable to see him until she was back healthy, he believed it.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I don't think the parents met her, but the father mentions her visiting him in Hawaii one time. So to the parents' knowledge, they met at least once in Hawaii. That was made before the hoax came to light.
As far as the money, I don't think there's any fraud, because any money that was donated sounds like it was made to a reputable leukemia foundation. Maybe the reasoning behind the donation wasn't honest, but it's not as if someone lined their pockets on this.
All that said, I'm starting to come down a bit from thinking he was definitely in on it. I can see how he could've been taken and a few details been misinterpreted. I'll wait until more details come out to pass full judgement. His draft stock could be repaired, they're claiming his poor national championship game was due to dealing with this, which may or may not be right, but it's possible. And if he does well at Pro Day and Combine, is it really hard to see a team taking a chance and just giving him a workshop on being safe on the internet?.

"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.
"And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now."-JAB

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
It amuses me how we as an educated fanbase get so upset when Raven-haters always reference the Ray Lewis "murder" as a way of impuning his character, even though the facts of the situation show that, at worst, he was an uncooperative witness. Now Teo is accused of doing something far less worse, and the Notre Dame-haters have already confirmed his guilt.

Fourth Graders Ordered to Write Letters to Obama
Fourth grade students at a public school in a battleground state were ordered by their teachers to write letters to President Obama, according to an outraged parent.
The parent said his child is enrolled in an afterschool program called "PLACE" at Seven Oaks Elementary School in Pasco County, Fla.
"My daughter told me that the PLACE teachers made all of the children write a letter to Barack Obama," the unidentified parent wrote in an email. "My daughter told them that she did not want to write a letter to Barack Obama but she would like to write a letter to Mitt Romney instead."
The parent said the teachers told her no.
"The PLACE teachers told her that they were sorry but everyone was to write a letter to Barack Obama," he said.
The parent said he and his wife were voicing their concerns and objections to school officials.
"We don't appreciate them insisting that our daughter write a letter to someone that we do not support," he said. "Is there anything else that can be done to stop this attempt to indoctrinate our children?"
The Pasco County School district has been rocked by allegations that volunteers from Organizing For America were allowed on high school campuses to register hundreds of teenagers to vote.
Obama campaign volunteers at one high school allegedly told teenage girls that if Mitt Romney was elected president, he would take away their birth control and outlaw abortion.
An Obama volunteer at another school, who was identified as a former teacher, was given permission to deliver highly partisan speeches to a number of senior high school classes.
When Republicans asked for equal access – the school district denied their request.
Neither officials at the school nor the school district returned calls seeking comment.

A Bardstown police officer, Jason Scott Ellis, was shot and killed sometime before 2:40 this morning as he was on his way home from work.
Kentucky State Police officers are investigating the shooting, which happened on the Exit 34 ramp on the Blue Grass Parkway at Bloomfield Road. The officer was in uniform and was found outside his police car.
At a news conference Saturday, Bardstown Police Chief Rick McCubbin said a woman called dispatch at 2:40 a.m. to report an officer had been shot. Ellis' emergency lights were flashing, but dispatch had not had any radio communication from Ellis, and there was no video.
"The officer had not called out anything. We believe he had stopped, either to assist (or there was) something in the roadway. … We're not sure," McCubbin said.
The only witnesses, he said, were two people who saw the car with its lights on and, after waiting several minutes and seeing no activity, got out of their vehicle to see what was happening.
Nelson County Coroner Rayfield Houghlin said Ellis was shot "multiple times" with a 12-gauge shotgun. Houghlin said the officer's service weapon was in its holster, suggesting the possibility of an ambush.
McCubbin said Ellis' death is not only devastating to his family and colleagues but to the community.
"It's a very sad day for us," he said. "This is the first police officer in the history of the Bardstown Police Department to be shot and killed in the line of duty, and our police department dates back well over 150 years."
Ellis, 33, of Chaplin, was a seven-year veteran of the police force and the city's canine officer and training officer. He is survived by a wife and two young sons.
A native of Cincinnati, Ellis had played baseball for Cumberland College in Kentucky and a Reds' minor league team.
Sgt. Tim Cleary of the Elizabethtown Police Department said Hardin County Crime stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Ellis' killer.

The one caveat is that the white lettering is a bit difficult to see as the tag is a very pale pink. If I had to do it over again, I would use black, or a darker color, rather than the standard white. It is still very beautiful hence the five stars."
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"This item was a fantastic addition to my nieces birthday. It received praises from everyone as it added a personal touch"
"With 7 nieces it's always handy to have gift wrap at the ready. I've bought some pink paper which perfectly matches these lovely labels."
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"

There are more than one bands called Joseph. 1. Classic Stoner (heavy fuzz) blues rock! The 'Joseph' was in fact Joseph Long or Joseph Longeria, discovered by the album's producer and A & R man Steve Tyrell playing in Houston in a battle of the blues competition. This is the only known foray into recording that Longeria made and he was a superb guitar player to boot. Stoned Age Man contains some of weirdest lyrics ever written. Check out 'I Ain't Fattenin' No More Frogs for Snakes' and the eastern 'Cold Biscuits and Fish Heads.' Read more on Last.fm more
