|Update: To my surprise, she hasn't chased her tail and shadow that much any more. This week is her second week with me. Now, I need to work on her barking at the cats.
This evening, I took her to my vet to check on her kennel cough. I told her about her issues and got a trainer name from her. She will be spayed after her medication. Then I will take her to dog trainer to evaluate her.
My last GSDs pack all died. In 2000, I adopted 2 GSDs and I had 2 other dogs, they played in the backyard until they tired. I know this dog needs playmate to burn out her energy. I can manage the exercise, but the shadow chasing is unbearable. She expects me to move, so she can bite the floor and bark. Now, I sit down when Im in her room, so she will not see my shadow. She doesnt like movements at all. I can even mop the floor! But when shes a lone, shes clam and quiet.
I suspected that her previous owner had kids and they drove her nuts. She has some training and is used to car. She walked into the crate while I was setting up for her. I have 36 for her and a new 48 is on the way. Today, she doesnt pull much or lunge after passing cars. Shes too tired from a trip to the vet.
Thanks to all for your advice. I will definitely return her if I cant provide her the proper life style. Hopefully, spaying her calm her down a bit. Then, I will work on cats issue.
Thanks again,

As all creatures, dogs have 4 ages: puppyhood, the age of adolescence, adulthood and old age. The behaviour changers with every age, 6 months is an age when dog's energy really bursts out, like human teenagers, young dogs become naughty, imaginative and moody. This age is the age of puberty hatching, if you look at her as she was a teenage girl, you might understand her better.
I don't want to repeat the words of others, that she needs much more physical exercise than you provide, I just wanted to say, that you should look for some large area like woods to walk her on 8 metre long line, and also some enclosed area where you can let her run off leash and start training recall. It is really bad to be leash dependent, and letting her to run freely for an hour or two will solve many problems in the future. Dogs who are always limited by the leash or space grow agressive and easily excited by anything unusual. Her sharp reactions to cats in the street and to some passing walker are easily explainable, she is simply thursty for fresh strong emotions to experience. Her behaviour, probably is a result of being confined in a small space in time when her body and spirit needed space and freedom the most. If you don't let that vapour out of her on a daily basis, the consequences could be drastic - energetic youngster might grow into agressive individual. That is how originally the pitbulls were raised for fights - they were kept in pits starting from times they were puppies, and knew only one man who fed them. Chained for life dogs are agressive too.
So, don't be afraid of anything, don't panic about her young age behaviour, but don't waste time either. In fact, you don't have much time, you should realize that, you have to bring her back to normal before she is one and half year old. She wasn't socialized, but it doesn't mean you cannot go to socializing classes, where she can learn to be among other puppies of her age. It could be better to find a friend for her, and better if it was a dog of a good behaviour she could copy from. They need friends of their kind, you know. There are ways and methods to make her to sense that your cats are the members of the pack, and if you ask questions about how to make it possible, many people will provide you with good advises in this Forum.
I definitely think that you can work with her, but it's going to take some times for you both.
I would definintely amp up the exercise though. While I don't think walks are usless, as some do, I do think that a puppy with this lind of energy needs to be exercised way more. I mean honestly how tired are you after these walks? Just think how much more energy she has then you in general and ask if you think she really is tired after. So I while she's young, and you don't want high impact type activities for her.. maybe a walk in conjunction with a good game of fetch where she's sprinting to get her toy would tire her out much more.
She is also still so new to your house that I think you need to focus on bonding and building your relationship with her. I have never rescued, but I have heard may people start with a 2 week shutdown, maybe that is something that would help you in this situation.
In regards to the tail chasing. distract, distract, distract!!! This I do have experience with. Titan was an avid tail chaser from about 4 months and on. Luckily he didn't bite his tail, he'd only catch it and repeat. BUT he was doing this for 2 reason. The most common reason, is he was being understimulated. I had a routine similar to yours and it just wasn't cutting it. He was essentially going stir crazy and trying to find a way to tire himself out so he became obsessed with chasing his tail. The second reason is anxiety of sorts. He isn't a nervous wreck dog.. but when he gets into a new environment or there are and overwhelming amount of new people around.. he will begin to chase his tail until he is comfortable.
I dealt with this by distraction, either play or command with play. When he would start chasing his tail I would stop him and make him lay down. When he layed down we played or I treated him. Mostly it was distraction with play. Timing has to be right though. There was a time where he used it to get my attention because he knew I would play if he did it. I started to have to give him commands before playing so he knew he was being rewarded for listening. It takes time and patience with that one. He used to sneak off to do it, and still does on occasion... Also, look into vinegar or bitter apple to spray on the parts she bites, thay may deter her. Here are some links from when he started his tail chasing...
There was some great advice in those threads about that.
For the shadows, I'm really not sure, I almost would say that distraction is key too. You dont' want to keep her inthe dark all the time so she is going to have to get used to it. As stated above, some dogs do need medication, but not all. If you have the time to work with her, you could be really successful with consistency and dedication. Do you know her history or anything?
My suggestion would be if you don't have time for her in the way she needs, then return her and note ALL htese things so they know about them and can place her in an appropriate home. That and also that she doesn't like cats.

Obsessions and high prey drive - new rescue 6 months old GSD
I need help with my new rescue GSD. I have had more than 5 rescue GSDs in my life time, 2 of them were WGSD. My last WGSD just died in January this year, she was almost 14 yrs. I have been looking to adopt another GSD and finally got one from city shelter last week. She is about 5-6 months old, GSD mix. When picking her up last Sunday, she was very gentle and quiet. I was very happy that she is not hyper like the dogs I had. As days progressing, she becomes more hyper, demanding, barking and high prey drive. I walk her 2 short walk and 1 long walk daily and let her run in the backyard. She tries to kill the birds, squirrels and feral cats. I have cats myself, I have to separate her from them. All my dogs are cat friendly. While she was in the shelter, she has kennel cough and on mediation. She has not been spayed due to kennel cough. I will have her spay as soon as my vet check her up.
These behaviors worry me. She doesn't like movements, shadows, chasing and biting her tail. If I'm in her room, she goes nuts because of my and her shadows on the floor, she digs and tries to bite the shadows on the floor. On the first day walking on busy street, she tried to run after passing cars, after a few yanks and 2 days later, she hasn't chased much. She barked at a man who walked very fast passing us. I just notice about fast movements. The first 3 days, she was on the main floor with my sisters. Because my sisters are walking and shadow movements, she was non stopped barking and biting the computer chair wheels. I moved her to a small room on ground floor next to my room.
I have had her for almost a week. I don't know her background because in her record stated that she was found.
This is her daily routine.
5 AM wake up to go backyard to release herself, breakfast then go for a walk for 15 minutes. I leave for work at 7AM, she is in a room by herself.
10AM my sister takes her to backyard, running around for 30 minutes.
3-4PM dinner and go to backyard again.
5PM I come home take her for a 30 mins walk.
9PM go to backyard and last short walk.
She sleeps with light off which she likes- no shadows!
There are 2 types of doors between her room and my room. One is french door which she can see my room and my cats, another is a solid door. She constantly barks at my cats and I have to shut the solid door which is most of the time.
I train her to sit, down, give paw in the evening. She doesn't know NO command yet. She is a smart dog, fast learner and would be good for police dog or sniffing dog. She knows how to get home on her 3rd day. She has blue spot in the back of her tongue, mix with chow chow?. So far, I don't think she is dog aggressive; because I don't let her see my other dogs due to her kennel cough. I plan to take her to training school after she is spayed. I never had experience with this type of high prey dog, I'm afraid that one day she may kill my cat or any animal in the yard.
Is there a way to correct or control her behaviors I listed above? Or I should return her to shelter. I have unsuccessfully put her in submissive position, Cesar Milan technique, she would not stay down.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi, I took 3 harvests per hive this year and the average was 60 lbs per hive per harvest - so each hive produced about 180 lbs this year.I'm not using national/langstroth I'm using the Dadant DB (which is the most common over here).How many harvests a year do you guys get? (I get one in the spring and two in the summer).Paul.
The market over here is a little more 'choosy' so being able to make these distinctions makes a difference come sales time (and there are obvious differences in the different type of honey such as colour, taste, time to crystalise, etc).Paul.
There are guys on here that produce alot more honey than I do! ;) Just ask Bjornbee and Bullseye Bill if they'll share their totals!
I pulled just over 5000 pounds this year, I hope I didn't pull too much as I didn't really get them fed up to the point I wanted to for the winter. It was about a 60 pound per hive year, a little bit better than average for Kansas.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
I'm sure almost everybody knows this by now. This command will pull the password for the admin login of any plesk machine.
Ok so it's rellay useless line and I sorry for that, furthermore that's nothing optimized at all...
At the beginning I didn't managed by using netstat -p to print out which process was handling that open port 4444, I realize at the end I was not root and security restrictions applied ;p
It's nevertheless a (good ?) way to see how ps(tree) works, as it acts exactly the same way by reading in /proc
So for a specific port, this line returns the calling command line of every thread that handle the associated socket
Maybe you know shorter ?
man tac
When there is a bad block in the middle of your file, you can see its begninning with `cat' and its end with `tac'. But both commands terminates with an error. So this sequence rebuilds a new file without badblock.

Adds the stdout (standard output) to the beginning of logfile.txt. Change "command" to whatever command you like, such as 'ls' or 'date', etc. It does this by adding the output to a temporary file, then adding the previous contents of logfile.txt to the temp file, then copying the new contents back to the logfile.txt and removing the temp file.
Searches /var/log/secure for smtp connections then lists these by number of connections made and hosts.

Good old cat & output redirection. Using this method you can combine all kinds of things - even mpeg files. My video camera makes a series of .mpeg files that are broken into 4gb chunks. Using this command I can easily join them together. Even better, combined with the cp command the files can be copied and joined in one step.
Generate the iso from the disk, easily.
same as "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/mydisk.iso"
xclip -o > /tmp/spell.tmp # Copy clipboard contents to a temp file
aspell check /tmp/spell.tmp # Run aspell on that file
cat /tmp/spell.tmp | xclip # Copy the results back to the clipboard, so that you can paste the corrected text
I'm not sure xclip is installed in most distributions. If not, you can install x11-apps package

Be aware of using the --password argument as it will appear your password in plain text on the screen. You may use -p argument instead, it will prompt you to enter you password in hidden mode.

It will add/sum the first column of numbers.
This command lets you see and scroll through all of the strings that are stored in the RAM at any given time. Press space bar to scroll through to see more pages (or use the arrow keys etc).
Sometimes if you don't save that file that you were working on or want to get back something you closed it can be found floating around in here!
The awk command only shows lines that are longer than 20 characters (to avoid seeing lots of junk that probably isn't "human readable").
If you want to dump the whole thing to a file replace the final '| less' with '> memorydump'. This is great for searching through many times (and with the added bonus that it doesn't overwrite any memory...).
Here's a neat example to show up conversations that were had in pidgin (will probably work after it has been closed)...
sudo cat /proc/kcore | strings | grep '([0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\})'

Dieses Appartement ist außerordentlich a) gut gelegen: nur wenige Minuten ins
Zentrum, 400 m zum Strand, b) gut ausgestattet, mit den Einschränkungen: kein WLAN, nur polnische TV Kanäle.
Weitere Beanstandungen: Das Haus selbst ist muffig, im 1. Stock züchtet man Tauben heran, wodurch die ganze Umgebung verschissen ist. Der Hinterhof mit
den Mistkübeln ist seit Monaten nicht mehr gesäubert worden. Im Stock unterhalb
ist ein Balkon voll mit Mist
Lage der Wohnung top, Einrichtung ebenfalls.
Kaffeemaschine und Toaster haben wir vermisst.
Waschmaschine war während unseres Aufenthalt angeblich kaputt, sollte umgehend repariert werden, über deren Realisierung wurden wir jedoch nicht unterrichtet. Wir können die Wohnung absolut weiter empfehlen.
We have had a wonderful nice trip to Sopot. We were picked up at the airport as agreed by a very nice man who drove us straight to the apartment. There we were met by another man who checked us into the apartment. Everything worked very well. The apartment was as expected, but it was very noisy from traffic. (we traveled in the middle of summer when so many had holiday). When we let the evening we had to close the windows because of the traffic outside, which made it increasingly became a bit stale air in the bedroom (it was very hot outside too). The balcony was a bit small but enough space for two to three people. The apartment was decent for the price, and we can recommend it to others. Sleep sofa could be a little more comfortable.
Very clean, modern, spacious between beach and station. Very late night pickup was no problem. Recommended!

a great place to stay - The appartment is carefully furnished in a very pleasant mix between vintage and modern. It is equipped with everything you need.
Das Apartment war wunderbar und recht geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Alle Informationen in der Beschreibung trafen zu. Als wir die angegebene Ankunftszeit nicht einhalten konnten, zeigte sich die Verwaltung vor Ort sehr entgegenkommend und fand mit uns eine Lösung, wie wir zu späterer Stunde den Schlüssel noch abholen konnten. Das einzige Manko war das Treppenhaus. Das roch recht muffig, allerdings hat man in der Wohnung davon nicht gemerkt. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und können dieses wunderbare Apartement wirklich weiterempfehlen.
This is a very nice apartment with lots of space and the pictures perfectly matches the reality. Tomasz arranged by the agency that we got picked up at the airport and that worked out perferctly. Sopot is a very beautyful and lively little city with nice beaches. The double bed is good, but with a better third bed it would have been even better, than it would be 5 stars.
Vi hadde et supert opphold i Sopot. Leiligheten var helt topp, en lekker nyrenovert leilighet, med alt du trenger for et hyggelig opphold. Ble hentet på flyplassen, ble møtt av en hyggelig ung mann, som hentet oss når vi skulle hjem. Kort vei til alle fasiliteter. En plass vi trygt kan anbefale. Hilsen K & S

Apple e Juice (30 mL)
Love itThis is one of my all time favorites!
This is my favorite so farSo far out of all the ejuice I've tried this is my favorite. It tastes like a fresh picked green apple.. so yummy
Crisp and freshIt's like biting into a fresh picked sour apple. If you like granny smith apples this one is for you.
Best Sour Apple E-JuiceI was buying a sour apple E-juice from my local vape shop when I first started vaping a few years ago. After a while I forgot about it but then ran across this one when I became a V4L customer. I must say that this one is very tasty and I order 1 bottle every single time I place an order from the website. It's easily an all day vape!
Sour Green Apple e juiceTaste like it sounds great taste and very smooth just like eating a sour apple.
Actually tastes like an appleReally uncanny taste. Tastes like you're biting into a ripe apple. Not some fake candy taste. They actually got this one down to the letter.
Good apple tasteWhen I'm in the mood for something different from my regular flavors this is one I like to vape. I love sour green apples and this is very satisfying..
Sweet!Love it!!!! It's just like biting into a fresh picked apple.
Actually tastes like oneReally. It's not some candy taste. It's like actually biting into a fresh apple. It;s beyond words you really have to try it yourself.
Nice as a mixerI'm not one of the vape connoisseurs that knows all about making their own juices and all, but I really enjoy using the apple to add to my regular tobacco flavors to lighten it up and give it a little kick. Nice on its own too, but I prefer to use it as an add-on to my regular flavors.
Top FavoriteNot too sweet; I love to use this as an all day vape or to reset the taste buds after using cinnamons or mints long term. Its refreshing and tasty. You shouldn't be disappointed.
Love it but rarely in stock.This is my second favorite juice behind WowBoy but I can rarely buy it in 0mg nic strength.
I don't know the supply issues with this juice but I hope they restock it soon at the 0mg nic level.
must trygreat flavor - my favorite
One of my Top FavoritesIt is like vaping a Jolly Rancher, and that is a good thing.
Great flavorI like it almost as much as grape.
Sour-candy-ishDunno if the other person got some bad juice or something, but it tastes and smells kinda like apple jolly ranchers to me. Flavour isn't quite strong enough in my opinion, but otherwise I really like it.
AwesomeNot sure about the review above this, but Sour Green Apple is one of my favorite e-cig flavors from V4L! Not to sour and not to much of a regular apple flavor. Just the perfect balance!
Definitely SourWhat can I say if you looking for sour apple than look no further. I'm not a big fan of fruit flavors but I figured I'd give it a try. Kind of has a perfume taste on the inhale. I think I'll stick to the tobacco flavors from now on.
very goodcrisp red delicious apple! very good.
GOOD FLAVORnice flavor, green apple

Striker Marouane Chamakh has joined West Ham United on loan for the remainder of the 2012/13 season.
The Morocco international has featured 67 times for the Gunners since his arrival from Ligue 1 side Bordeaux in May 2010, netting on 14 occasions.
With first-team appearances limited this term to the Capital One Cup - where Chamakh helped Arsenal to a dramatic fourth round 7-5 victory over Reading with an extra-time brace - and one Champions League outing, the 28-year-old heads to Upton Park for the opportunity of more regular competitive football.
Chamakh will be ineligible for the Hammers' Premier League visit to Emirates Stadium later this month.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Marouane well for his time with Sam Allardyce's team.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The dogs bite and go wild from bad training or neglect or something is wrong with the dog genetically. Food does not make them that way. I've fed raw meat for many years. My current german shepherd started eating raw when I got her around 9 weeks old.
Dogs have been fed raw meat longer than you and I have been around and longer than humans have invented kibbles. Maybe you can ask your friend what dogs eat before kibbles and supermarkets were invented.
If your dog likes raw meat, it can become a very high value treat you can use to train the dog. My dogs whine and scream when they know they are being fed but are taught to wait and sit for the food or they will not eat. They just can't wait quietly because of excitement.
3 month old german shepherd (won't eat! is this balanced?)
Yes please give me in details the % of every thing to put in his meal and how much of the chicken i should put at each meal
It's much easier than this. You don't have to balance out every meal as long as it balances out over time you're OK.
You feed 2-3% of their ideal ADULT weight. So if you think your dog will be 100 lbs when grown you feed 2-3 lbs a day split into 2 meals. So 1 or 1/2 lbs each meal.
They're much better off lean. I'd start with 2 lbs and see how he does. You watch his poops to get an idea how he's doing.
Another huge benefit of raw is small poops. They poop out most of the kibble. They digest most of the raw and poop out very little. Poops should be small and firm.
Anyway, %
40 raw meaty bone (chicken backs or chicken wings, necks)
40 muscle meat or heart (it's counted as muscle meat)
10 % tripe
5% liver
5% organs like lungs, kidneys
That's what I do. Some people do 50 % raw meaty bones and no tripe.
Also, sometimes, fish, eggs, sardines.
I also give fish oil and vitamin E
I buy in bulk following the % above (approximately) and then feed without worrying to balance out every meal.
You can give a few days of chicken only. Then a day or two of organs. As long as it balances approximately over time you're OK.
I feed mostly chicken thighs and drumsticks. They have so much meat that they cover the raw meaty bone and the muscle meat requirement.
There are so many ways of doing it, that's why I'm giving you as an a example of what I'm doing.
ETA few more things. Chicken can be the main meat because chicken bones (raw only!!!!!!) are the only ones they can safely eat. But try adding diff meat, like beef, lamb, turkey, whatever you can get. Variety is always good. Any questions - ask or pm. It sounds overwhelming but it's really not. Once you're in the routine it's as easy as dog food. And much easier than cooked.

You also won't have a problem with picky eating anymore. My dog downs everything I give him. He doesn't like chicken as much anymore and will eat it last but still goes crazy every meal time. When he was on kibble I had to mix it with cooked meat to get him to eat.
What he really loves is the organs (they all do). Goes crazy for tripe. And it's so much joy to watch them eat raw.
I love it. I won't go back unless something serious happens like medical reasons and I will be convinced that raw is not the way to go. Then i'd cook. I will never go back to dog food.

Is it safe to make the dog eat raw chicken or meat? I asked a friend and he said that the dog can go wild and bite anyone even me his owner

Do you have access to whole chickens that has organs inside? You don't have to cook anything. Just crack the eggs open for him to eat it raw, cut up the chickens and feed directly along with the organs, including the bones without cooking it. At 3 months, he can eat chicken necks and wings easily. The chicken backs may be too big for him to chew but you can still try it. Plus all the stuff you're already feeding and leftover scraps from your family's meals. You can also give him some of the fruits you eat. If you have access to other types of meats, you can feed those too - all without any need to cook it. You can cook it, but that's unnecessary. If you do cook, just avoid feeding the bones since it may splinter after it's cooked.
Important is he needs variety of food sources so whatever fresh ingredients you can get will be helpful.
+ i don't think he is a picky eater he will eat any thing wet i give him. he just doesn't like Kibble and it's making me crazy
Lol don't force him then. Cook but research what it takes to feed a balanced meal. I don't know about cooked, I know about raw so I can't help.
When cooking they can't get bones, so at the very least you'd need to supplement calcium.
Anyway, it's not a must that a dog is on kibble. IMO it's preferred that he's not but you then need to make sure they get all the nutrients they need.

We know some of you are on the edge of your seats awaiting info, and we have some updates to announce. Currently translation is in progress for Korean to English, so it is confirmed we will be using the new v2 Clients for those familiar.
Next is to answer a big question many are unaware of: "Will we have our previous account info?"
The answer to this sadly is no. Given that IG has dropped out of the picture this will be a new Publisher so they do not have access to the data that IG holds which is IG's property. So no you will have to start over however for many veterans this may be good news as there won't be worries of who had hacked or duped items etc.
Security wise: Things are being redesigned from the inside and out as security is a BIG concern due to the previous issues seen with the previous publisher. Actions are being taken to prevent this and by prevent we don't mean IP block we mean blocking exploits and improving security. Yes there will always be a way around something however part of the agreement with the developers is to ensure that when something comes up that it is quickly patched or the source found and fixed.
Server locations: They will be hosting both NA and EU and have provisioned hardware to support this via both sides to minimize/eliminate lag for either party ( NA or EU ) this will introduce a larger community, giving more room for parties, items, sales ( Ira's Market) and guild's.
The Publisher will announce themselves shortly so stay tuned. Keep spreading the word as we'll be booming once things are announced officially. Currently their Goal for opening is sometime in May so we're a little more than a month out, though once active they will be taking questions and providing as much feedback as allowed.
Stay tuned and keep up with us at http://www.ClubWK.com/ the official fansite for information and updates. You can also come chat with us at http://clubwk.chatango.com/ Hope to see all of you there! Stay tuned!

There are a lot of entries in this derby that don't quite have the "experiment" feel but rather hearken back to elementary school "science fairs." And yeah, there are a lot of "Pluto isn't a planet" shirts floating out there, but something about the cut, sad, and lonely ball on the floor just appeals to me more than the myriad other Pluto shirts floating about the web.

I don't really see a very strong similarity to fractal tree, any moreso than any other swirly designs.
I did go back and review the fractal tree. It was far more different than I remember. I will admit that.
I think the thing that made the immediate connection was the floating stroke, the outline around the entire piece. The fact that its a stylized, swirly tree with a transition of colors, does have some influence, but adding the floating outline is what made it seem too close for comfort for me.... if that makes sense.
Greetings Derby Goers. I think your points have been made and responded to. Please move off this topic and let's get back to the art of discussing the art.

Of course, the very next scene is the parent stopping her from using the blender, opening the jar for the "blue" bird and making some primetime-friendly joke like "Okay, maybe science isn't your thing. How about music? I don't think you can do any more harm there than Britney's already done." *audience laughs on cue*

Re: The RYB color model
Why is everyone upset about the bird in the blender, but nobody upset about the bird that's suffocating to death?
First of all, being blended would be an almost instantaneous death, whereas suffocation is much more painful.
Second of all, the blending has yet to happen. The suffocating bird IS ALREADY BEING SUFFOCATED!
That having been said, this is an absolutely awesome shirt. I wouldn't personally wear it, but it deserves to be in the fog, and maybe even win!
fiddlefishgal wrote:Amazing. Love the tri-fold in the background! I don't see any cruelty to animals - the little birdie's not blended yet.
The bird that's turned blue from being suffocated is an example of cruelty to animals in my opinion. (Fictional animals, mind you.)
Re: In Harmony
Wave harmonics, most often used with music in science fair settings. I included the simplest equation for wavelength, I'm guessing most middle schoolers don't do much with sin/cos/etc. Inspired by this project.
Would love feedback, this took me ridiculously longer than it should have. I went through several variations that were more complex and had different elements, but I kept coming back to the simple version...

It's hard to see some of the halftones in the comp, here's a larger version. The third and fifth harmonics have halftones.
Re: Worst. Science project. Ever
I did a google, before this derby, on "Sea Monkeys." Mainly to copy the 50's style art for my cartoon (which, i nailed. Smudgewarpin gradients. I just learned to use them so I was "showin' off!)
I thought, there is no way on Pluto that-that woot would happen, here, unless I changed my tag to Rammy (but I like being a dog). I went to their actual website and the term, "Sea Monkeys" is a Registered Trademark. The "Concentration" (a TV Gameshow before your time) word-puzzle presentation is absolute ingenuity. I'm so jealous all I can sea id green monkeys.
I hope this prints because it transends the Science Fair, yet epitomizes it. Ihis is minimalist gold! No .....Paladium!

I'm not a fan of tall, relatively skinning designs running straight up the middle of the shirt. Having a rod going up the center of the your shirt often looks kind of funny, and makes people look fat (^_^). To be clear, this wasn't a deal-breaker for me here (I actually can't wear that shirt color, anyway) - it's not the worst case of center-tall-narrow-design, and I honestly don't know how you'd make this design so that it *wasn't* tall and narrow, unless maybe there was surrounding horizontal stuff (like maybe a table, but then you'd have a low horizontal, which would also be weird)
Anyway, point is that this isn't meant to be a super criticism for this particular design, just thought I'd mention in case you wanted to keep it in mind for future designs. I've seen others make similar comments on other long, skinny center shirts, so I don't think I'm alone in thinking it!
Thank you Reawan. I appreciate that feedback. also thank you for how you presented it. It didn't know that as an issue and defnitely will be logging that in for futre designs. Thanks for taking the time to share.

If you wanted the derby entries to realistically capture the experiments in a middle school science fair, we'd only have a bunch of entries revolving around potato catapults and posters based on the water cycle, which I'm pretty sure no one wants.

i don't approve of any of the shirts that are geared towards animal cruelty. i've watched too many shows like criminal minds and csi, and the people that were cruel to animals as a child were always the ones that wound up as serial killers or something of the like.
Very nice. I like the art style. Reminds me of Paper Mario

Yeah, I went to a middle school and at least at that time, no 8th graders taking trig, the highest they offered was geometry (I was one of "those" students). Would have loved to put some fun standing wave equations on it, but didn't fit the average middle school level. Ha, talking about this makes me miss math/physics, which I've had very little to do with since undergrad...now how much of a geek does that make me?

The first Glock 22 models were built on the Gen2 frame (deep checkering on front and rear of grip-frame, stippling on the sides, but no finger-grooves or thumb-rest depression). Early G22 models will also have a flat-sided extractor on the slide (vs. the notched Loaded Chamber Indicator (LCI) extractor on current models); the caliber marking on the slide may read ".40 SW" (vs. just ".40" on current models); the frame dust cover will be smooth (newer models have a dust cover accessory rail for lights, etc.); and the magazines are probably non-fully-metal-lined (NFML, vs. FML/fully-metal-lined, to prevent excessive swelling of the magazine when full and to allow it to drop free of the weapon when the mag release is pressed, for quicker reloads).
Some early .40 caliber Glocks had rather generous chambers, which can contribute to bulging cases during firing (or bursting cases, in a worst-case scenario). Worst-case. Heh.
If it functions well, then the only thing I'd recommend is upgrading to the current generation of magazines; the new mags are much better at feeding JHP ammo than the old mags, and will eject more smoothly for fast reloads.
If you are having functioning difficulties with it, then I'd recommend sending it back to Glock with a description of the problem(s), and they will most probably fix it for free.
To compare frame generations, check the photo in this thread:

ISSUE: Reactions to the bus crash
OUR VIEW: Lasting legacy of safety improvements
Signs standing on the shoulders of Interstate 71 in rural Carroll County mark the site of one of our country's most deadly bus disasters. Flowers, crosses, messages and other items can be seen around this sign, left as tokens to honor the lives lost on this stretch of highway.
Late on that May 14, 1988, night, a fiery collision involving a pickup truck in the wrong lane operated by a drunken driver and a church bus packed with children forever changed the lives of so many more.
Tuesday marks the 25th anniversary of bus crash. A community will gather at Radcliff's North Hardin High School for a public service to remember those students and adult chaperones who perished returning from a trip to King's Island amusement park.
Many will be present. But some likely will be unable to attend, still physically and emotionally scarred as a result of the horrific crash and its aftermath.
While those most closely connected to the crash never can forget that evening, nor the days, months and even years that have followed, a generation has been positively impacted as a result of what happened that night a quarter century ago.
Students today — some the same age as those Radcliff Middle School, J.T. Alton Middle School and North Hardin High School students on that ill-fated former school bus — most likely never give thought to the safety improvements that now are commonplace on school buses because of the crash.
Adults on the roadway today — some the same age as the three adults from Assembly of God Church who died alongside the children in their care that evening, or of the parents and grandparents who franticly sought out any word on the condition of their children and grandchildren that night — likely have little understanding of how alcohol laws were strengthened following the disaster.
But important and lasting improvements did come.
The tireless efforts of those who survived and findings from a National Transportation Safety Board report following a lengthy investigation into the crash changed manufacturing standards, regulations and operating requirements, greatly improving school and church bus safety.
Where the 1977 Ford B-700 bus involved in the crash only had a front entrance door and smaller rear door partially obstructed by a rear seat, today's buses must have nine functional exits including more accessible front and back doors, two roof-top escape hatches, a side emergency door exit and four breakaway escape windows. These would have saved the lives of many that night.
Where that bus had a 60-gallon gasoline tank positioned outside the frame of the vehicle and behind the bus door, today's buses are required to have slow-leak diesel fuel tanks, positioned inside a more structurally sound frame and surrounded by a protective cage. Had that bus been so equipped, perhaps all 67 passengers that night could have walked away unharmed.
Where that bus had highly flammable polyurethane foam seat padding and flammable floor runners, today's are mandated to contain high-backed seats with extra flame-retardant cushions and padding, floor and panel coverings of flame-retardant materials and highly visible reflective tape surrounding all emergency exits. Many states also amended bus seating capacity regulations, as well. Such features that night would have bought more precious time for escape.
Ramifications of the crash also extended to toughen alcohol laws related to DUI.
Where the legal limit on blood alcohol concentration in 1988 was 0.10 – Larry Mahoney, the driver of the pickup truck who hit the bus that night had a 0.24 BAC – eventually were lowered to 0.08.
Equally important, the public's view and tolerance for drunken driving were forever changed, too.
Karolyn Nunnallee and Janey Fair, mothers who lost daughters in the crash, channeled their grief and mourning into tenacious effort with Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Nunnallee eventually became president of the national organization and Fair became its vice president before succumbing to cancer in 2008. Through their efforts and those of MADD and other anti-drunk and impaired driving organizations, alcohol-related deaths on the nation's highways have curbed in very measured ways.
Those who lost loved ones that tragic night would give anything to turn back the hands of time and have their children, grandchildren, husbands and wives back. Nothing can or will replace them.
But the resulting improvements to highway safety that came about because of their loss, are among the lasting legacies of their impactful, although brief, time among us.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well, my dad suprised me tonight by wanting to work on the car.
So, we made a jet and rod change from a 72 jet/46 rod, to a 68 jet with a 32 rod. We've also switched out the secondary needles for fatter ones.
This had great response in the car, it pulled harder in the secondaries but is still a little to pokey around town.
We're going to fix that with another primary needle/jet change to lean out the primary side somemore. Because it used to be very peppy in town, but still popped.
We also adjusted the secondary butterfly door spring that you mentioned, that helped as well.
After we're done jetting, we might mess with the timing but so far, everything's looking up.
diagnosis aside, I might shoot for "all in" by 2800 or 3000 and then use an adjustable vacuum canister to add an aggressive advance during part throttle cruise. That low stall speed converter (although OK for the combo) will maybe like the advance to start a little later. With that cam there is plenty of low end cylinder pressure so you don't need advance that early. The 2.73s are also a good reason to keep the advance curve later. You'll be spending a lot of time with your foot in it in the sub-3000 RPM range.
I don't think that the advance curve is too aggressive that it would be causing a lean enough condition to pop through the carb. You would have crippling detonation long before it got that lean. It may be a combination of lean mixture and too much advance, but advance alone isn't the problem there.
My suggestion is to readjust the secondary air doors. They have a spring and two set screws on the air horn. It sounds like they are slamming open causing enough of a lean bog that its popping back. My Qjet has no secondary lockout cam for cold operation and if I open it up too soon before its warm, look out hoodliner. There is a flathead set screw on the side of the airhorn near the pivot shaft of the secondary air doors. Then up underneath that set screw is an allen head screw. Loosen the flathead set screw and turn the allen screw in by half-turn increments and see if that helps. Over time the spring in there that resists the secondary doors gets weak and lets it slam open. Tightening that allen screw puts more pressure on the spring.
You can also double check the vacuum brake for the secondaries. If its not operating properly it won't allow smooth operation of the secondary doors. Just push it in by hand, stick your finger over the hole and see if it stays there. If it moves, replace it.
|Just to clear a few things up, there are no vaccum leaks, the car idles/runs good aside from what I've already said. This motor has over 2000 miles on it, it's brand new! It's got Crane Roller Rockers, new stainless steel valves, comp springs, hydraulic lifters. The valves have been lashed.
What's a good timing curve for a 4100lb car?
Hey all, apologies for the long post. I have a '73 Chvelle Malibu Sedan with a 355sbc, HEI ignition, edelbrock perf. intake, edelbrock Q-jet 675CFM carb with mech. secondaries, comp 270H Magnum cam, 1500stall and a 700R4 with 2.73's out back.
When we first put on this carb it had 69 size jets in it and it would surge on the highway when you were doing 60 indicating that our primaries were too lean. So we took it on a short trip and kept changing jet sizes until we got it so it didn't surge, and drove great, but now we had (and still have) and pop at certain times when you engage the secondaries and they don't pull as strong as I think they should pull.
Our first trip that we did was with the .69 jets in it because we were just trying to get the 500 miles on it for the 1st oil change, and my dad said that if you run an engine a little on the lean side when you're breaking it in, it helps the rings seat quicker (don't know how true that is). So anyway, we managed to get 15MPG highway when it had those jets in the primary side.
Then we started increasing the jet sizes on another trip to the same place, and we took the primary jets all the way up to 75's. We jetted down quick because cruising down the highway at 55MPH netted us 11MPG, we were literally dumping fuel out the exhaust. The reason for all this jet size change was to try and figure out what the stupid pop was sometimes when the car switched to the secondaries. We're now on the way back down and now I think we have 74's or 73's in there. We also messed with the secondary needles and the primary needles and now we have a really good primary needle in there, it's real fat up top for part throttle but gets real skinny near the bottom for when you really need the power, but it's still drinking a little too much gas and still has great throttle response but a stumble upon leaving a stop. So we still need to drop the jet size because it's still rich, that and I can smell gas when I drive it.
Now I've been searching through old threads for popping through the carb and most of the threads people suggested the same thing. The main thing I want to talk about here is timing. My dad bought a distributor recurve kit for our GM HEI. He has it set so it's 'all in' buy 2000RPM's. The timing is set at 38 degrees with 24 degrees of dist. advance. His way of thinking is, get your timing set to what you want it, then jet around that.
One thing I've heard people say is that a lighter weight car can have a quicker timing curve, but a heavier weight car takes a slower one. Also that popping through the carb indicates a lean spot in your timing or something like that. The car only pops through the carb when you're climbing a hill and it's under load, or the RPM's are low. HOWEVER! This can be cured by shifting down at the exact moment you punch the gas, it won't pop at all when you do that. But if you let it do the shifting, then in most cases it will. Except if you're on flat road.
There is also a stumble when the car is warmed up, if I'm sitting at a stop and push the gas, most of the time the car will kind of stumble a little bit then go. It does NOT do this when it's cold. Which also leads me to believe two things: The rpms are higher when it's cold because, well, it's cold. 2. When the cars cold it requires a richer mixture to run, so the primary jets being too rich, may make it run well cold, but when it's warm, it's too rich. The inside of my tailpipes are also black, but the car never smokes, except in the morning when it's warming up, but that's cold steam smoke cause it's cold outside.
Oh! another thing. One of my dad's old friends told him about putting a washer in the dist. to limit the amount of advance it could make, he did this and the car didn't like it, it took a lot more pedal to get it to move. The total timing was around the same, maybe more. I think it was around 40 degrees total, maybe a touch more. But we were running more inital and it didn't drive as good.
What I want to know out of all this is:
1. Is the timing curve that we have set right now too quick/slow? Would have it 'all in' by say 2500, or 3000 get rid of the popping?
2. My dad is trying to get MPG out of this car (hence the 700R4 and the Qjet carb), that's part of his reason for the timing curve that he picked out in the first place. Is he on the right track?
The car drives pretty darn great right now, the only thing are the smell of gas when I'm driving, the gas mileage (about 10.5 city), the popping through the carb, the stumble sitting at a stop, and when I have the RPM's high on the road and I engage the secondaries, it goes from pulling to pulling a little more, it's like opening up the secondaries doesn't really do a whole lot more aside from making more noise (and what a sweet noise it is ).
Are all these things I'm describing adding up to poor jetting/timing issues? If they are, could you please advise me on what I should do to correct them ?
My dad and I are going to be jetting down a size this weekend, so maybe we can make other adjustments too! Thanks for spending time reading over my problems, I just want to make this car run better.
Sorry for the long post!!

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that wide receiver Greg Jennings will be a "full participant and ready to go" against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. Jennings has been out since Week 4, or more specifically, since Sept. 30. The Packers are still in the mix for a divisional title and have an outside shot at an opening round bye. Jennings will need to carve out a new role between Randall Cobb , Jordy Nelson , and James Jones.
Fantasy Analysis:
Once Jennings is healthy and in the starting lineup, fantasy owners should not hesitate to use him. Unless you have must-starts at your WR spots and at your flex, Jennings is still technically the best guy on his team at the position. Stowing him on your roster this long only to bench him when he is ready to play does not make any sense. This may be a very aggressive play, but unless Jennings is very limited in practices leading up to the game, it could be a mistake sitting him.

By Josh James
Liam Brady, Academy Manager and Head of Youth Development at Arsenal, believes that this season's Carling Cup run is further evidence that the Academy is producing players of a high enough quality to feel at home in the first team.
Academy graduates Mark Randall, Henri Lansbury, Kieran Gibbs and Justin Hoyte have all appeared in the League Cup this season, and Liam believes that there more talented youngsters further down the system awaiting their chance.
"I'm very excited about what we have at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 level, especially with regards to the English boys," he begins. "They have done ever so well in the Under-18s league so far this season, as in the main we have played with the Under-16s and 17s. We are top of our section at the moment, and the Reserve team is doing very well also and that mainly consists of our second year boys.
"In fact I would say this is probably the healthiest state the Academy has been in since I've been here.
"I think that's because we are starting to see the first generation of players who have come all the way through the age groups at Hale End. Boys like Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Henri Lansbury, Jack Wilshere, Emmanuel Frimpong and Sanchez Watt have all attained England schoolboy recognition and they have been with us since they were nine and ten.
"Roy Massey deserves great credit for all the work he has done with the younger players at Hale End."
The Hale End Academy is where the Club's under-nines to under-16s are based, before becoming scholars and moving the Arsenal Training Centre at Shenley, with the first team squad.
Roy Massey is in charge of the Essex-based facility, where he works each day with a host of coaches.
"There's an excellent team of coaches there," Liam confirms. "Carl Laraman came on board about a year ago, and he's in charge of the coaching for the Under-12 downwards. We also have a number of younger coaches, generally non-league players in their late 20s or early 30s, who work with the players at that level too.
"Then we have Steve Gatting, who coaches the Under-15s and Under-16s. He also mentors and tutors the guys, helping them with their apprenticeships and sporting excellence - the football side of their education. Steve Leonard is another coach doing great work at Hale End, we also have George Paris, who was with me at West Ham. It's a good coaching team at Arsenal, they all know the kind of work we want them to be doing.
"Basically," the former Republic of Ireland International continues, "unless we can give players to Arsène Wenger who are technically strong, able to pass and move, they would find it difficult to progress to the first team. So that's why I'm very pleased with the quality of player we have got this year.
"The Under-18s who have gone into the first team - Mark Randall, Nacer Barazite, Fran Merida, Henri Lansbury, Kieran Gibbs - they have all done very well and you can only do that if you are technically able.
"To get these boys into the Club in the first place is the most important thing, because we feel that as soon they are here, the facilities and coaching we can offer is sufficient to keep them. But if they end up at West Ham, Tottenham or QPR for example, you can't get them. So a lot of work goes into getting the boys at eight or nine, and Roy does a great job with that."
In the past there has been a criticism that young English players were not as technically gifted as many of their foreign counter-parts, due to the coaching in this country. However Liam states that, at Arsenal at least, the English players are now very strong technically.
"Generally I don't think enough emphasis is placed on the technical side of things in coaching the youngsters in England. But we have been doing that here for the best part of ten years now and I do believe that the technical level of our players has improved because of that. The academy system is functioning well at Arsenal, but it all depends on the work you give to the boys."
And a successful academy has led to a successful Carling Cup side in recent years - this is the third year in succession that the Gunners have reached the last four, sticking the policy of using mainly young players - this year younger than ever.
"I heard that the average age of the squad that won at Blackburn in the last round was less than 20," says Liam - himself a former trainee at Arsenal. "The experience the boys are getting is invaluable. I think how they have played has been amazing, and the results they have got have been amazing too. A lot of the teams they have knocked out in recent times have been teams that really want to win the competition - Everton, Newcastle and Blackburn for example.
"In last year's Semi-Final against Spurs, they put their very best team out to reach the final, but they couldn't beat us and I'm really looking forward to this year's Semi-Final.
"The boys play without fear, and in fact if anyone has fear, it's the opposition because know if they don't do well they could get embarrassed."
This season though it's not just the Carling Cup team that has benefited from the Academy's Graduates.
Johan Djourou has recently returned from a successful loan spell at Birmingham City, where he played more than a dozen Premier League games, and will be hoping to pick up where he left off in an Arsenal shirt last season, following his return to the Club.
Another player who gained valuable first team experience with the Blues is Nicklas Bendtner, who spent two years in the Gunners Academy between 2004 and 2006 before his season-long loan spell at St Andrews. Since returning to Arsenal in the summer he has already netted twice in the Champions League, and got his first Premier League goal against Spurs in the 2-1 win at Emirates on December 22.
"It was funny," recalls Liam, "because at half-time I said to Nicklas that if he can score a winner against our biggest rivals he will be a hero forever more. It was quite prophetic of me!"

HELLO, long time, no post! haha.
anyways ive been out of bow hunting for going on 2 years now, and after seeing a field with some nice bucks, I want to start bow hunting again. I have an OLD PSE Polaris but I didn't take good care of it and i let it sit outside in the heat and cold and im afraid to shoot it. So I am thinking since im getting a new hobby, maybe its time for a new bow. im not sure where to start though. i can get a Hoyt (not sure the model but will find out Wednesday) for 225 bare bow. i could probly get it for 200 if i really talked em down. i could get a Bowtech Tomkat for 300 set up. I can get an older mathews for 250 set up.(also not sure of the model but will find out Wednesday). Im not sure where to begin. Im on a tight budget and have a whisker rest and a sight. So if i have to, i could buy a bare bow.
im going to shoot the Bowtech tommorow because i am really interested in it. If you guys have any other suggestions for me, id LOVE to hear them. because i believe buying a bow is like buying a car. haha
thanks, ILgoose
