No, they won't fit the 92FS compact model. However, wait for Shipwreck to respond as he is the man to answer your question. He owns or has owned every 92 model out there and the 92FS compact is on his wheel of Beretta's. I beleive the 92FS compact has a shorter grip than the Centurion and the full size models listed for the grips on Beretta's website.
You may want to check out these grips from cdnn however.

Help what sail to raise 1st?
I'm usually single handed or running the show myself. With main only I can tie off the tiler pointing down a bit and the boat will sail herself while I raise the genny. Much easier than the other way around.
I made the mistake once of sailing genny only with guests that couldn't be trusted with the tiller. Even though I wanted to raise the main once I got out I couldn't.
Re: Help what sail to raise 1st?
When sailing away from a mooring generally raise the main first, except when a strong current has the boat pointed downwind and the mainsail would be plastered against the rig before you have it raised. Then sail away and out of the mooring field under the jib and go onto a close reach to raise the main.
When sailing up a mooring generally drop the jib first, except when a strong current will hold the boat pointed downwind at the mooring plastering the mainsail against the rig before you can get it down. Then sail up to the mooring under the jib and drop or furl the jib at the last minute.
If you sail to or from a dock the same principles apply. You certainly don't want to be sailing downwind into your slip with the main sail up.
Help what sail to raise 1st?
I find much easier raising the main first and dropping it last.
I sail on a sloop and i have no experience with ketches so i can't really this is a golden rule
Re: Help what sail to raise 1st?
I'd think sailing's biggest problem is the sailors who hardly ever raise ANY sails.
|Screaming Seagull
Help what sail to raise 1st?
Always raise main first and drop last. I feel more in control also find it easier to set the jib.
Re: Help what sail to raise 1st?
Funny how things change over the years along with personal preferences. http://www.sailnet.com/forums/genera...mer-ketch.html
The "jib and jigger" sail combo is a proven ketch combination. After a century away from sailing fishing boats, especially with light plastic recreational sloops and cutters; traditional sailing methods are blown in the wind. I sailed for years pulling the main first but 50 years of experience has taught me there's more than one way to skin the cat. In a heavy blow, a jib and jigger set is the only way to go and is easily managed with an added reef for the mizzen and a close sheeted genoa. Single sticked boats are considered "easier" to sail and less expensive to maintain with half the hardware, but most schooner, ketch and yawl aficionados know better.
Group Think
I nearly 100% of the time raise the main first and typically do it while on our mooring. The few times that I don't raise it on the mooring is if there is 15 to 20 kt winds as we need to go in a certain direction get into the main channel and sometimes the main and the motor be working against each other . Not that the we can't dump wind from the main, but it just makes steering more difficult especially as we leave the mooring. In these instances, we wait until more open water to raise the main.
The jib/genoa is raised second. Sometimes we do it running or reaching, but usually not when close hauled unless very light (6 kt or less) winds.
As far as which sail to drop first, usually it is the headsail, but I have dropped the main first and rolled in the head sail to a very small area and used it to sail onto a mooring more effectively in a breeze with two people. As we approach the mooring we come in on a close reach or "close haul" at about 3 kt boat speed at the right moment, spin the boat, furl the remaining head sail exposed while gliding into the mooring. We try to time it to "overshoot" the mooring by about the 3 ft which allows me time to pick up the pennants while the are slack and get them on before the boat gets blown backwards by the wind. My wife hates when we do this (no motor), but she knows it is a critical skill to have.
Re: Help what sail to raise 1st?
Generally, main first, then jib. As for the questions about how to do this with no motor:
If on mooring, bow is kept into the wind by the painter.
If in open water, raising the main will keep the bow into the wind. You might actually end up sailing backward some, but that's okay (as long as you have the room!). Once the sail is up and you have some steerage way, you can raise or unfurl the headsail. With a roller furling headsail, you can deploy the sail on almost any heading, but with a hanked on jib, you'll also want to be into the wind.
Raising the headsail first and then the main while close-hauled is okay as long as you can actually sail like this with the headsail alone. Not all boat/sailplan combos will actually allow for that.
Re: Help what sail to raise 1st?
Agree main up first wherever possible. There are some conditions when headsail first is needed. Eg sailing out from a dock (no engine) when the wind is aft. In this situation raising the jib in the dock is ok as the wind is readily spilled.
Re: Help what sail to raise 1st?
Not sure about on a masthead rig, but on a fractional rig you can do some considerable damage if sailing with just the jib depending on your rig setup. It all has to do with rig tension.
For a dinghy, especially an FJ or 420 jib up first so that you can tension the jib wire which will pull the mast forward. On some larger dinghies this is unnecessary when the jib wire tension can be adjusted on the fly.
Unlike everything else on a small boat the higher the wind the looser you want the jib wire because it will give more mast rake (mast angled backwards). This is especially beneficial downwind. In lighter air you want the mast farther forward (less rake will result in more power). If you want to really crank the *@$&$ then get someone to pull on the forestay while you push the mast forward with you foot and cleat off the halyard. As you go it is easier to let out the tension than to add it. If you must tension the jib wire while you are sailing, head dead downwind so that the mast is being pushed forward and use your feet to push it forward while cleating off the halyard.
On a larger boat or a dinghy with adjustable jib wire, main up first, then jib.
Downwind spinnaker up, jib down. Then jib up, spinnaker down.
This is probably more than you wanted to hear, but hopefully it helps.

Using lead for body damage (Pictures Included)
I have gone through pages 1 through 50 reading every single post that interested me and now I have something that I havent seen or maybe passed up during my readings... leading. I know this is an "old school" hot rod tradition/method but had some questions on if I could use leading in my application.
My 87 is being complete torn down and rebuilt and here is an issue I knew I would run into and hate. This bed was wrecked. We bought it in 89 and it looked like it had brand new paint... well it had brand new acryllic enamel from what I can tell. Also about 3 years ago we started noticing the cracking... thats all bondo... no fiberglass or kitty hair which would be a better reinforced material, but bondo. I must say that for 15 year old bondo it did a damn good job. Well now that its majoritly ground out I need to think of ways to fix the damage. There are three ways...
try to pull out the damage and get it straight and use a stronger filler like fiberglass reinforced bondo etc...
replace the entire panel or that chunk of the panel with another bed corner and tac weld it in place
use bondo completely again and have it crack in another 10 years.
My parents used to run a stained glass company so we have spools of lead and soldering irons etc and I was wondering... can I grind it down to pure metal and use lead to fill parts of the dented in metal and then grind it/clean it up and use a filler for the last stages?
Thanks guys... as this does seem like a logical method of using something stronger then pure filler and easiest/cheapest.
Check out Slickriffs post in this section and Beenawaytoolong's journal on leading. Dan
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain
Archives and such
If you would get into the archives and knowledge base find the old posts from Randy Ferguson and go to www.metalmeet.com you will find a whole bunch of stuff on metal finishing..
From what I can see in the picture that can be pulled out and finished to the point that you would only need a small amount of fill to make it right..learning the lead is good as well since you have it on hand..
Requires tuning up your skills with the shrinking wheel..slap hammers and dollies..makes for a much better job..And once you have it figured out the tools needed will be around for a long time..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..

MAC's Finery Lipstick CollectionsWednesday, November 21, 2007
One of the items that Elke sent me was MAC's Finery 3 Tan Lips Set. This is a great deal, for $32 you get 2 lipsticks, a Lip Gloss and a little bag! Perfect! I think that these sets make great gifts because you just need to pick a general color family (e.g.- Pink, Plum, Coral or Tan), and included are the 3 items which are sure to work for nearly any one!
The lipsticks included in this set are High Tea and Haughty. Haughty is a light-medium neutral tan, with very slight frost. My perfect nude lippie is High Tea, a much lighter tan with slight frost. Both lipsticks are very easy to apply, feel hydrating and are long lasting. MAC's lipstick has a very faint flavor that kinda sweet for me, almost vanilla. Also included in this set is Honourable Lip Gloss, which is a light tan/pink with shimmer and looks amazing over both lipsticks!

I should like to do portraits which will appear as revelations
to people in a hundred years' time.
-- Letter to his sister Wil, 3 June 1890
This gallery and the two following contain works Van Gogh painted while he was living in Paris from 1886 to 1888. During this period he produced twenty-eight self-portraits. From a practical point of view, painting his own likeness was convenient when the artist could not afford a model. But Van Gogh's self-portraits also offer an image of the shifting artistic personality he wanted to project. In some paintings, such as Self-Portrait with Felt Hat, he appears as a bourgeois gentleman, sporting a felt hat and neat jacket . In others, such as Self-Portrait With Straw Hat, he presents himself as the country artist, wearing a blue peasant's blouse and straw hat.

Blackberry Apple Pie RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 1 2
My mother made this pie so often she could do it with her eyes closed! We picked the berries ourselves, and the apples came from the trees in our orchard. I can still taste the delicious combination of fruits encased in Mother's flaky pie crust.
Featured In: Mom's Best Comfort Foods
- Pastry for a double-crust pie (9 inches)
- 5 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 5 medium)
- 1 pint fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon water or milk
- Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim to 1 in. beyond edge of plate. Top with a thin layer of apples. In a large bowl, combine blackberries and remaining apples; sprinkle with lemon juice. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Add to fruit mixture; toss gently to coat. Spoon into pie shell; dot with butter.
- Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges. Beat egg with water; brush over lattice top and pie edges.
- Bake at 375° for 50 minutes or until filling is bubbly and apples are tender. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 8 servings.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin had an MRI to check on the condition of his injured ankle. The injury is only a sprain, not high-ankle sprain or a fracture so Minnesota is optimistic that he will play in Week 10 against the suddenly surging Detroit Lions. A lost fumble hurt his fantasy numbers since he only accounted for 34 total yards. Harvin's playing status will be updated throughout the week.
Fantasy Analysis:
Harvin had to briefly left Sunday's game in the third quarter and finished with a limp. Last week, he was downgraded during the week because of his hamstring so the injuries are adding up. The fourth-year wideout still leads the league in receptions (62) and is currently tenth in receiving yards (677). For a player that relies so heavily on his speed, it'll be interesting to see how he finishes the remainder of the season. If there is any interest, it may be best to trade Harvin away while his trade value is still high.

if you want to build massive o-ring kits for your guns, go to the website www.mcmaster.com, and order your orings in bulk for the same price as a 10x rebuild kit.
its not as straight forward as it could be, since its extremely detailed, but once you know what to look for, youll be set.
***New instructions kindly provided by Morgan-Crp.***
***Be sure to tell him thanks!***
1. First off, go to www.mcmaster.com
2. When the page loads up, youre going to want to scroll down until you see the section for "Sealing". Click "o-rings".
3. Then click on the box that says "Buna-N O-Rings"
4. A side bar will come up, at the top click O-Rings
5. Scroll down on the side bar and click
-"Round" for cross section
-"70 A" for Durometer
-"Buna-N" for material
6. Then scroll up on the side bar to ""AS568A Dash Number" where you can select your O-Ring sizes. Check your marker's manual for specific sizes. Here I used 011 as an example.
7. Then the window changes, there will be two blue links/numbers. Click the top one.
8. Next you need to select the number of packs you want, they come in packs of 100 so one pack will be enough.. Unless you have an O-Ring fetish..
9. Click add to order, and repeat for all the other O-Rings you need.
The orings come in clearly marked plastic bags. just go to wal-mart and pick up a $2.00 tackle box and youll be set with a 100X rebuild kit!
hope this helps everyone!
**** i should note that Urethane orings(the clear ones) that are found in some guns are fairly pricy, and since i dont personally order them from here, i didnt include them.
**** feel free to order them from this site, just note that urethane orings are not made of Buna-N(hopefully thats obvious) and the typical Durometer is "Shore A: 90" and not 70.
here you go guys.
the orings come in marked bags just like i said. they came to me in a padded envelope, but i didnt really bother including it.
the packing slip also labels the plastic bags they come in, so there should be any fear of getting the sizes confused.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
combine the orings with a tackle box from walmart and some time in photoshop and you have a pretty functional tech kit-
front cover- an oring sizer (yes, that is oring monkey's oring sizer chart, i feel bad for removing their logos, but i didnt exactly have all the room in the world.)
inside cover- just some quick reference stuff for my DM. has which orings go where in the gun. also has some quick settings for my virtue board.

Cross Country Teams Head to Horizon League Championships in Style
By Justin Grones (@GronesGB)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After two weeks off, the Green Bay men's and women's cross country teams will return to the trails on Saturday for the Horizon League Championship meet, hosted by Youngstown State in Borden, Ohio. The men's race will begin at 11 a.m. while the women hit the ground running at noon.
Led by sophomore Sarah Mauel (Green Bay, Wis.), the women's side will look to build on a 2013 regular season that gave the squad more experience and consistency. Mauel finished as the top runner for Green Bay in every meet this season, and finished in the top 50 in all but one race this season. She finished second at the Concordia Falcon Invite on Sept. 14, and earned a fifth-place finish at the Chaparral Invite on Sept. 27.
Senior Alexander Kimble (Green Bay, Wis.) has provided the men's team with veteran leadership throughout the season while consistently posting impressive finishes. The senior standout finished 23rd against a tough field at the Badger Season Opener hosted by Wisconsin, earned a 14th-place finish at the Falcon Invite and later turned in 24th-place performance at the Chaparral Invite.
MEET INFO: The race will be held at the Boardman Cross Country Course in Borden, Ohio. For more information on the 2013 Horizon League Championship meet, click here.
TRICK OR TREAT: In a team tradition dating back to the 1990's, numerous members of both teams boarded the bus sporting their best Halloween costumes. Highlights include Kimble as "MacGruber", junior Heidi Langteau (Stetsonville, Wis.) as Catwoman, freshman Austin Gokey (De Pere, Wis.) as a construction worker, senior Paul Malcore (Green Bay, Wis.) as Macklemore and Mauel and junior Nicole Will (Luxembourg, Wis.) as a blue and a red M&M, respectively.
LAST YEAR'S MEET: The women's side will look to build on an impressive finish at the 2012 Horizon League Championship meet. The Phoenix finished fifth behind strong finishes from Will and Mauel. Will took the 22nd spot, while Mauel was close behind in 26th. On the men's side, Kimble finished 34th while then-sophomore Andrew Sorenson (Onalaska, Wis.) took 47th.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Following Saturday's championship meet, the Phoenix will compete in the NCAA Great Lakes Regional on Friday, Nov. 15 in Madison, Wis.

2004 Mazda MPV Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2004 Mazda MPV based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The cooling fan module can fail causing the fan to either run constantly, or not operate at all. If the fan runs continuously, the engine may not warm up properly, and if the fan does not run, the engine may overheat. Mazda has a voluntary recall on model years 2002-2003 to address this concern. Please click here to find a Mazda dealer near you.
Defective or worn out ignition coils can cause engine misfires and Check Engine Light illumination. If the problem is severe enough engine performance will suffer and the Check Engine light will flash on and off.
If the engine cranks but won't start, the fault may be internal to the distributor. Diagnosis will show no spark and trouble codes for the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) or the camshaft position sensor (CMP). Our technicians recommend replacement of the complete distributor assembly if these conditions occur.
If a rumbling noise is heard from the engine, along with a possible loss in power, it may be caused by a collapsed hydraulic timing belt tensioner creating excessive cam backlash. Our technicians recommend replacing the timing belt and water pump at the same time, if they have not been recently replaced.

I was glad to see that there was another reply on this topic. First of all, I don't like using the terms Quick and Slow when explaining a Samba figure. Because of the many different beat values, it can be very confusing. I agree with you that the basic rhythm 1 & 2 has the beat values 3/4, 1/4 and 1. You explained that the rhythm of the Corta Jaca has the rhythm SQQQQ. I think we both got a point. I see the Slow as a step before the real Corta Jaca. The four Quicks come close to my description. I think the step on the heel is very short. In my opinion the beat values for the Corta Jaca are 1/4, 3/4, 1/4 and 3/4. This feels more like a Samba than 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 and 1/2. Then there's another thing. The steps 2 and 4 are taken on the 1 en 2 counts, so you can count & 1 & 2. If all beat values are 1/2 then you get a very straight rhythm. You can dance it that way, but it's not how we learn it. Try dancing it with the beat values 1/4, 3/4, 1/4 and 3/4. It feels great! For example, if we dance travelling voltas, we use the rhythm 3/4, 1/4, 3/4, 1/4 etc, starting on count 1. Do you use only beat values of 1/2 for the travelling voltas either?I think the way we dance the Corta Jaca is a variation of the real Corta Jaca. I think that you don't turn in the original Corta Jaca, but take normal side steps. Perhaps therhythm we use is also a sort of variation, but it is more like the basic Samba rhythm.
Hope to hear more about this,

Hey everyone!
I am a brand new member to TDH and have been reading through a lot of the forum over the last few days trying to decide how I want to start here, and the logical first step was getting a helmet before moving on to a full build (also noted how I thought I was a big SW and Fett fan, but nothing compared to everyone on here!). Among the decisions I haven't made yet is which helmet I even want (ESB vs ROTJ vs SE), but I'm leaning ESB there. As far as who I should go to to get the helmet, what are the differences between the helmets that ASOK, anime, and fettpride have? Also, how different are resin vs. fiberglass helmets?
Any advice is more than welcome! thanks everyone!

Arsenal Ladies remain two points clear of Leeds United with a game in hand after thrashing Sunderland 9-0 at the weekend.
Vic Akers' side needed a victory to keep their closest rivals at arm's length and they got it thanks to a hat-trick from Jayne Ludlow and further goals from Kelly Smith, Karen Carney, Alex Scott, Gemma Davison, Lianne Sanderson and Katie Chapman.
Despite very strong winds in the North-East, Arsenal got off to a flying start when Smith netted within 30 seconds. Sunderland lost the ball from their own kick off and Smith skilfully ran through their defence to calmly shoot past the goalkeeper.
Arsenal didn't give Sunderland a chance to relax and within 10 minutes they were 2-0 up through Ludlow's first of the game. Despite the weather Arsenal managed to play some great one and two-touch football and at times left the Sunderland defence chasing shadows. It was no surprise when Chapman and Ludlow scored to give the champions a four-goal half-time lead.
Sunderland came out fighting in the second half and were almost rewarded, only for a superb save by Emma Byrne to deny the home side. Arsenal stepped up the tempo once more and goals from Scott, Carney, Sanderson and Davison made it 8-0. Then Ludlow completed her hat-trick with a late strike.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

so umm yeah...go nuts
so umm yeah...go nuts
That looks very familiar...
Hey neat. As bad as the alpha was I'm excited to play in the beta. Thanks for the heads up.
Horrible game.
Key Features:
• Action packed battle system that allows you to change weapons in an instant, putting a variety of skills at your command!
• No MMORPG would be complete without PC parties, but in addition, your brave companions will accompany you!
• The 8 companions don't just accompany you into battle, they bring their own specialties to assist your journey. As your bonds of friendship grow deeper, they are inspired to greater heights of ability. For example, the merchant Miroku, as you grow closer, will sell better gear for a lower price.
Looks interesting enough for me despite the graphics.
Forgot this even existed. Lets give 'er a whirl!
The game was stupidly hard during Alpha for anyone that had above ~120 ms ping.
Monsters would 1 or 2-shot you and if you lagged you wouldn't be able to dodge in time. Sucked to be European then. ;-;
Other than that, game was enjoyable. I just got stuck really fast because of lag and 1-shotting.
I got to about level 6 and stopped playing because of how long I had to wait for it to fully download. My only real complaints are the lack of graphics options so potatos will have problems running this game. And the fact that they don't actually fully download the game unless you're in game so you're forced to use the streaming client to download around 3.7gbs which is aggrevating unless you're on a fast connection.
yeah i really liked it because the graphics were good but knowing that the developers are japanese, they and i don't mix well together.
im sure it's going to be repetitive and pointless as hell and you know only have maniac players who fanboy hard on it aka very small community just like the rest of the japanese online games ie: cosmic break
Looks retarded. Why would anyone play garbage?
game is pure trash

There are lots of sites with free downloads of Buddhist texts and books but can anybody recommend any good ebook versions of the Pali Canon in English? I've got Kindles that I use for reading at work or out and about and it would be nice to have something meaningful on the to read rather than some of the novels I've got on the go at the moment.
I like the look of the Maurice Walshe ( http://www.amazon.com/Long-Discourses-B ... 0861711033 ) translations but to buy the hard copy books would cost me about £150 and if I don't get on with them it's a lt of money to waste on four books I'll never read.
I was hoping that somebody more experienced than myself may have already found the ones that are useful and can help me?

Because I've done this a few times myself and I've encountered several people asking about it I figured it would be worth the effort to document the required steps. I've cut it into two main steps.
1. Installing Ubuntu minimal (this post)
2. Automated Ubuntu preparation and XBMC installation (post #2 in this thread)
This guide uses a very minimalistic and efficient approach. After a clean installation it takes my relatively old machine only 12 seconds to boot. From pushing the button to the xbmc home screen.
I'm running xbmc on a Asrock ION 330HT with 3GB ram and an SSD drive.
If you're an experienced Linux user you can probably skip to section two because the fisrt step is just a regular Ubuntu minimal installation with only the OpenSSH server as extra module.
You will need to use xbmc for the username of the installation. Otherwise the script won't work!
For this method of installation to work you need to have your HTPC connected to the internet! This needs to be a wired connection for now.
1. Installing Ubuntu minimal
1.1 Download the latest ubuntu 12.10/13.04 minimal installation ISO from
- x64: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/r...t/mini.iso
- i386 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/r...t/mini.iso
- x64: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/q...t/mini.iso
- i386 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/q...t/mini.iso
1.2 Download and install unetbootin or burn the downloaded ISO to a writable CD
1.2.1 Windows
- download and install: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbo...latest.exe
1.2.2 Ubuntu
- You can install it straight from the Ubuntu repository:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unetbootin
- ...or alternatively download the Linux binary from the unetbootin website: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbo...nux-latest
1.2.3 Creating the bootable USB stick
- Insert an USB drive into an USB port and delete all it's content or format it (FAT32)
- Open unetbootin, select "Diskimage" and select the mini.iso file you've downloaded in step 1.1
- Make sure the correct USB drive is selected and click "OK"
- When the bootable image is written successfully to the USB drive close unetbootin without rebooting
Now you have a bootable USB drive containing the minimal installation requirements for Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04. During the installation process the minimal installation will download more required packages. The advantage of using the minimal installation is that no more then absolutely required for you installation will be downloaded and installed. Resulting in a fast and responsive XBMC installation.
1.3 Installation
Every * stands for at least one installation screen in most cases
- Take the USB drive and insert it into one of your HTPC's USB slots
- Make sure your HTPC can and will boot from the USB drive. You can do this from the BIOS of your machine. In most cases no BIOS adjustments are required. Most computers have an option to press a specific key at boot time which will give you a screen where you can select the drive you want to boot from.
- Unetbootin has added a screen to your bootable USB drive from which you can choose different ways to start the Ubuntu minimal installation. Choose "Install" in this screen.
- In the next screen choose your preferred installation language. Preferrabely English because that's the language I'll be using in this in this howto. You'll be able to choose your preferred language in XBMC later on.
- Choose the country you reside in (other -> Europe -> Netherlands in my case)
- Choose your 'locale'. This determines some predefined variables. For me the best choice is United States. The best option for you might be the one that's pre-selected
- In "Configure the keyboard" select "No" and manually choose the keyboard type you use (English (US) with Euro on 5 in my case)
- Ubuntu will automatically configure you DHCP (ip address) settings. AFter this has succeeded you know you'll have a working network connection. If the network has a working internet connection your HTPC will have access to it.
- Enter the HTPC's host name (I use "xbmc"). Make sure there are no other computers with the same hostname on your network. If that's the case... choose a different one.
- Confirm the next two screens with Enter (Ubuntu repositories mirror, default is ok)
- If you use a proxy server, please enter the proper configuration in the related screen. Otherwise skip this option by pressing Enter
- Enter xbmc in the Fullname and Username screens! Using xbmc as the username is required! The script won't work if you choose a different one.
- Choose a password. You'll need this password several times later on so remeber it or write it down
- Do not encrypt your home directory unless you really need to (impacts performance a bit in a negative way)
- Confirm or change your timezone
- And now for partitioning. To keep it simple I'll asume you have one HDD in your HTPC and want to use it's entire capacity. If not... google it . Choose "Guided - use entire disk"
- Make sure you choose the right disk (not the USB drive)
- Confirm to write the changes to your HDD with "Yes"
- Now the installation will start partitioning your HDD and after that copy and download the absolute minimum of required files. This might take a little while.
- When asked for management upgrade plan select "No automatic updates", after which the installation process will continue for a while
- In the "Software selection" screen only select "OpenSSH server" using your arrow keys and the space bar. PRESS ENTER TO GO TO THE NEXT INSTALLATION STEP. I'm choosing not to use Samba since we can access the entire machine remotely using SSH and SFTP with only the OpenSSH server. As minimal as possible is what I want! The installation will continue after you've press enter.
- Confirm installation of GRUB to the "Master boot record" with "Yes"
- Confirm that the system clock is set to UTC with "Yes"
- When finished remove the bootable USB drive and press Enter to reboot the machine.

Green Bay Continues to Break Records at Horizon League Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
BROWN DEER, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams continued to perform well at the 2012 Horizon League Championships on Friday, combining to win three individual conference titles, break four school records and a conference record at the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center. The Phoenix women ended the day in third place, while the men's squad is in fifth with one day remaining.
The Green Bay women placed four swimmers in the top five of the 400-yard IM Friday night, led by an individual conference title from senior Amber Bartholomew (Alexandria, Minn.). Bartholomew cruised to a first-place time of 4:18.62, breaking her own school record of 4:23.84 (2011) and the Horizon League record of 4:19.57 (Joanna Olsson, Cleveland State 2011). In addition, the senior also achieved an NCAA B cut.
Also earning trips to the podium in the 400 IM were Megan Burley (Hazelhurst, Wis.), Melissa Killpatrick (Elk River, Minn.) and Lauren Caruso (DeForest, Wis.), who placed third (4:28.31), fourth (4:29.23) and fifth (4:30.11), respectively.
Amanda Walker (Sun Prairie, Wis.) continued her outstanding freshman campaign on Friday by placing third in the 200 freestyle. The rookie touched in at 1:50.53, breaking the Green Bay school record of 1:51.47 that was set by former Phoenix standout Shannon Demrow in 2009.
Walker then swam the opening leg of Green Bay's second-place 800 free relay in the final women's race of the evening. The team of Walker, Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.), Heather Bodin (Maple Grove, Minn.) and Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) set a new school record with a time of 7:27.18 in the runner-up effort, and would have snapped the conference record if not for the winning Cleveland State relay, which touched in at 7:26.29.
On the men's side, senior Daniel Pogue (Chisholm, Minn.) went out with a bang in his final Horizon League Championship event, winning the 1-meter board while shattering his own school record. The 16-time conference diver of the week put up a gigantic total of 379.15, breaking his previous mark of 366.15. Pogue now holds both Green Bay diving records after achieving the 3-meter standard on Wednesday night (352.20).
Junior Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) also had an excellent showing on the low board, finishing third with a score of 328.65 - his personal best.
The top men's performance in the pool on Friday came from junior Jonathan Lesniak (McHenry, Ill.), who sprinted to a conference championship in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 55.24. Freshman Ryan Korslin (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) was close behind, finishing third in 55.80.
The Phoenix men and women are set to wrap up the 2012 Horizon League Swimming and Diving Championships on Saturday, with prelims starting at 10:30 a.m. and finals beginning at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit the Championship Central Page on GreenBayPhoenix.com.

"I love this stamp for my return labels. It is modern and classy. The product is exactly as it appears. Fast shipping and great service."
"Love love love this stamp! Have been wanting an address stamp for forever but never took the time to get one and now that I have I am so glad i got this one! It's design is simple yet eye catching and it just adds a nice touch to my letters. The quality of the stamp is great and it arrived before the estimated delivery date."
"Love the stamp- came exactly as ordered, works beautifully without smudging or inconsistency, and looks great! I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see what the stamp would look like before I ordered it though since I have a long city name in my address and had to change the layout slightly"
"I personalized the stamp with a "J" in the middle. It turned out beautifully! I was a bit nervous after reading a few reviews, but I knew this stamp was what I was looking for (something simple, yet elegant and in a circle pattern). Once I ordered the stamp, it shipped and arrived much sooner than expected. I am so happy with it that I may order one just for the holidays!"
"I got this to send out my husbands birthday invitations so I didn't have to write the return address 55 times. I LOVE this stamp!! It made me nervous to not see a preview of how my address and names would come out, but I am extremely happy and would order another one in a heartbeat!"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Uhg! Milla must be feeling better because I had to put her back into solitary.
Since I was going away on the weekend, to help my dad out, I went around with a hammer and banged each of the gate panels so that they would not be tight. They get this way in a few weeks, particularly when we bang into them or push them farther than they ought to go. It shifts the connectors a bit, which makes the latches tight.
These latches require you to push up from both sides to open them. Or rather, the latch cannot be pushed up crooked or it won't open. So far, I haven't had any problems. But since I loosened them all, and the puppies jump up on the gate on one side while Milla the nutcase jumps on the other side, a few days ago Milla managed to get hers opened, with the help of the juvies on the other side. I got her out of there and no harm done.
I thought it was a fluke. And very unlikely to happen again.
I was wrong.
During the day, Imposter and Ingrid are in an outdoor kennel, while Isabel and their mother are in the Patio-pen, where they can get inside. Milla's pen opens into this pen.
Last night, three dogs came out of the x-pen in the house to be boxed up for the night. And Milla rushed into Bear-Cub. I shoved Isabel in a crate and Milla and Bear were fighting in the other crate, so I grabbed her tail and pulled her out, and slammed the crate so Bear-Cub couldn't continue the argument.
This morning everyone was happy again -- no fence fighting like they hate each other or anything. It was really over before it began, but I take no chances. I just don't want to pay for avoidable vet visits.
So now Milla's kennel is latched and clipped. It's a pain in the winter because clips sometimes need to be warmed up with the bare hand before they will open, but there really isn't any help for it.
I am still waiting and waiting and waiting for my contractor to finish the kennels. That will make things less nuts here.
Right now Jenna is in with Hepzibah. I hate having females share. I was watching them play. They are so careful and gentle with each other. I feel comfortable leaving them together. But want the kennels so I can eventually separate them. And Impostor cannot stay in with his sister indefinitely.
Never a dull moment.

The thing is, I had my yearly vacation this weekend. This is a trip my sister takes me on to an indoor water park with her two little girls. The Guatamalan Adoption Club has an event there, so there was about 38 families, and I was gone from Friday evening to Sunday evening.
I had the girls from Thursday morning, took then to the Little Gym in Brecksville or Macedonia (don't tell my sister that I really don't know what city I am in) Thursday evening for Karate, out to Subway for Dinner, back to the Little Gym for Gymnastics, and then over to my parents' house where I put them to bed.
Then out to my place to take care of the critters and sleep, and take care of the critters, and back to Mom's. They watched the Lion King, and then I took them to the park with Cujo. Back to Moms where I fed them lunch and then put on Snow White, while I went back home to take care of the critters again.
I had to have everything set up so that Dad could take care of them on Saturday. He still had a hard time since the puppies like to jump up, and they don't listen all too well. Also, I wasn't sure about how Gretta would take to him. So I got a coupler for walking two dogs at the same time, and a cookie sheet, and hung that up outside her kennel. I had dad just put the food on the cookie sheet and slide it under for her. That way she wouldn't need to be worried about him, and nothing horrible would happen. Her water could be replenished through the gate. And he could pull the cookie sheet back through when she was done. It worked great.
So we went to Sandusky on Friday night. Yay. We had a wonderful time.
Prior I had to put up fence/gate panels to cut two of my kennels in half so that no one was stuck in the house for two days, and Dad would not have to go over a bajillion times to let them out. I would not have had to do this if the Kennels I had my contractor start building six months ago were finished, but they were not, and so I had him over there helping me set up all of that on Wednesday.
And guess who went in heat this weekend??? Yupp, I have ONE male on my property. He is almost six months old, and he is in with his mother. And she goes into heat.
Well, here's hoping he was not capable, or she wasn't ready. So now the puppies are separated from her, and Babs is stuck in my house again. Good thing she likes it in there. I STILL WANT THOSE KENNELS FINISHED!!!
See, first he was finishing up this job, and then that job, and he dug a big hole in my yard, then he went to jail, and then it started raining. It rained and rained and rained and rained, and now the concrete truck will not be able to go over my land until the ground freezes or firms up.
While we were INDOORS at the INDOOR waterpark, it was 70 degrees and BEAUTIFUL (which means it was NOT raining). Within hours of my return here, it was cold and raining, Not just rain, but really wet rain. Yeah, that is redundant. But there is rain where it pours and clears up, and there is rain where it sprinkles, and then there is RAIN. Rain that saturates EVERYTHING and acts like it will stay that way for months. That is what it was.
But it did not stay that way. Not exactly. This morning there was SNOW on my car. Yes if the sky isn't leaking on us, it is dumping on us.
But this was not supposed to be a rant-thread. It was supposed to be how happy I am with my girls -- all of them really. They were good for Dad, all but the puppies who were bad and jumped on him, and made him muddy. And Milla in particular, who for as bad as she was when she was a young'n, is really pretty good now. Though I must say I still won't trust her with a pair of slippers.
|Bear GSD
|GREAT girl, Milla!!!
|Your posts always crack me up...I can't believe how dang busy your life is....
It has nothing to do with the name, it has nothing to do with the name, it has nothing to do with the name.
I'm just thinking I don't know if I can handle 3 year and 3 months more of this.
Sounds like you had a great day with her!
|Good Girl, Milla! She can come down to my nut house anytime!
Milla making me crazy, but in a good way
Milla has this goober on her eye lid.
I have been putting ointment on it, and giving her pills for about a week now. The pills are 2x/day, the ointment 3x/day. 2x is easy, just do it at meals. 3x is a pain in the backside.
It doesn't help that I am low on kennel space, and the puppies (3 of them) are in the patio. I have to get through them to get to Milla, as her kennel opens into the patio. Yay.
During the feedings, I clean a kennel, put down food for the puppies, then move them. Then I do everyone else. And in the evening, I move the puppies back to the patio, where they can access the house.
Ok, fine. But now I have to get past the puppies to get to Milla for a third time. And Milla does not exactly make it easy either, jumping around and threatening to stab herself with the applicator. She is a 90mph dog: jump, jump, jump, jump.
Anyhow last night, I come into the sun room, and there is a dog in the pen that leads to the patio. Only one dog. It is not a puppy. It is Milla? Milla, what the heck are you doing in there, and what did you do with my puppies???
I get her out of there and shove her in a crate, and the puppies came in. They were enjoying her kennel area too. Ok. So I put gunk on her goober, and leave her crated so I can take her to the vet this morining.
Milla was good last night and this morning, and I put her in the back seat of the Honda to go uptown to the vet to get her re-checked. She was so good. She got weighed, a little skinny at 54 pounds -- she should be about 58-60 pounds.
We get in the exam room, and when the vet came in, he was looking at her eye, and when he came into the room, she leaped up onto the table in there: boing! This table is about 30 inches long and 18 inches wide and about 39 inches high. Having her up there was definitely a bonus to the vet who did not have to stoop over her. So everyone was happy she elevated herself. Good Girl!
She let him take a big furry q-tip and shove it in her eye and play with the goober, which is getting better. Good Girl!
Then on the way out, a rescued GSD bitch was in the area where the techs/receptionists have their behind the counter space -- a big square, with a baby gate right in front of the door I came out of. Milla paid no attention whatsoever to the old bitch. She noticed her, but did not try to get to her, or bark, or anything. Good Girl!
We come around the counter to pay, and she goes right to the door and jumps up on it. I told her "WAIT, you nut." And she sat down with her nose to the door, did not jump up on it, and just sat there, waiting. I took care of the bill, and she was still sitting there waiting. Good Girl!
So I headed to the bank to cash my check. Usually she rides in the Explorer in a crate, but I needed to get the money in the bank so she just had to be in the back seat. In the front seat, was the remains of my KFC last week -- uhg! So I told her to stay in the back! And went in to the bank to cash the check.
I came out and she was in the back seat and had not molested the box of chicken bones. Good Girl!
And back home, back in the crate while I situated everyone else, cleaned the kennels, filled the buckets, and put food down. And then back to her kennel to put more gunk on the goober. Good Girl Milla!
It only took 4 years, and Milla has finally reached Trustee status on the Warden's List.
Dolly and Gretta have taken she and Ninja's places at being the young hoodlums in the establishment.
I was very proud of my little girl today.

During a week when mining magnate Bob Murray laid off 102 West Ridge coal miners in Carbon County while blaming President Barack Obama's re-election, 75 members of Utah's oldest fraternal organization held their annual dinner at a Price restaurant.
Stella D'America, founded in Castle Gate in 1898 by 57 northern Italian miners, was formed in part to help give single miners a social outlet and, in many ways, was part of the unionization of the Carbon County mines and some of the first strikes in the early 1900s.
International Mine Workers of America vice president Mike Dalpaiz, whose uncle Brent was a long-time president of Stella D'America, said there was plenty of discussion of Murray's actions at the annual meeting he attended Sunday.
"The [Murray mine] is a nonunion operation," said Dalpaiz, who said Murray typically lays off miners every year before Christmas. "But we feel for those people. They have family to take care of."
He said the Italian organization has always been involved in organizing Utah and Carbon County miners.
"Our lodge was very active in that," said Dalpaiz, of Price. "We wanted to make sure that the Italians and everyone else got a fair shot. Any legislation pushes, organizing drives or making sure people got to vote, the Italian lodge was always there to do that."
Walter Borla, of Helper, who replaced his father as secretary of Stella D'America in 1950 after the elder Borla died in a mining accident, said that among other services, the lodge provided miners with some limited death and disability benefits.
"The miners' strikes of 1902 and 1903 resulted in the eviction of the strikers from Castle Gate, which naturally included the immigrant Italians," said Borla. "This brought about the transfer of the lodge three miles down the canyon to Helper where it continues to function to this day."
The men's and women's Italian lodges of the organization merged in the 1990s.
Stella D'America, which means Star of America, remains primarily a social group, though it does offer a scholarship program, maintains a plot at the Helper cemetery, holds picnics and the annual dinner and offers members death and disability benefits.
Current president Charlie Hamilton, of Helper, said the organization has 135 lodge members, many of them seniors, including 95-year-old Richard Ariotti, who has 75 years of continuous membership.
"The majority of our staff and members are elderly people," Hamilton said. "It is harder and harder to get the younger generations involved. I belong to the Knights of Columbus and the American Legion, as well, and it just seems like the younger people don't have time for stuff like this. ... We are trying to recruit new members. That's why our dinners are so successful. We often get three or four new members at a dinner such as this."
In order to be a member of the Stella D' America, a person has to be Italian or have an ancestor who was Italian.
Stephanie Fitzsimons, director of the Western Mining and Railroad Museum in Helper, said records at the museum show that the Stella D'America Society began as a means of mutual aid among single miners and laborers but eventually helped in bettering relationships both within the Italian community and between Italians and non-Italians.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, her research showed that the tensions between the southern and northern Italians often ran high, which was one of the reasons the southern Italians formed their own group, Principe Di Napoli, in 1902. Consider this account that appeared in the Salt Lake Herald in the early days of mining in Carbon County:
"There is no better citizen than the Italians of the North, nor can there be any more undesirable citizen that the southern Italian of the ignorant class. Unfortunately the men who have created the trouble in the coal camps of Utah are mostly of this latter class."
Fraternal organizations such as Stella D'America helped bridge some of the gaps, and many of the Italian social groups eventually merged.
Dalpaiz said Carbon County had many different ethnic groups. While proud of his Italian heritage and its role in unionizing miners, he called the mixture of nationalities that settled Utah's mining country his "band of brothers."
"It doesn't make any difference," said the union organizer about ethnicity, adding that "the racism we have in this country sickens me."

Firms are often challenged to undertake transformation at a grand scale — to sustain and scale BPM programs across the organization. All firms are at subtly different levels of maturity, with different histories, unique cultures — and while there are many commonalities, every organization needs to approach the BPM and transformation agenda in subtly different ways.
Enterprisewide transformation involves a large number of people doing some pretty special things. The reality is that each organization will need its own subtle blend of skills, methods, techniques and tools. In a sense, the organization needs to weave its own proprietary method framework — to create its own fabric — a unique approach that reflects its special needs, the maturity of the different business units, the history of change, culture, and political challenges.
There will be people inside the organization that need to own that framework and set of methods, monitor its efficacy, and improve it over time. And while external resources can complement those employees, the executives at the helm should understand that they cannot abrogate responsibility for change. Too often, I hear the transformational objective stated and then followed by something like " . . . and we are looking for an outsource provider to do it all for us." That sort of attitude is likely to end up in a courtroom (as things go sour down the line).
Coming back to the weave — populating that framework is always a challenge (since you only know what you know you know). What methods, techniques, and approaches does your organization need? For the organization to answer those questions effectively, it needs to understand the likely challenges it will encounter and assess the skills and capabilities required to overcome them.

The Heartland Cafe in Rogers Park is a neighborhood touchstone, and has been for decades. Its emphasis on using fresh, healthy ingredients often leads to some interesting and delicious dishes, though some work better than others.
The Buffalo Philly ($10) has some potential. The flavor of the lean buffalo itself is very interesting, a little sweeter than beef with a slight smoky marinade adding just a hint of extra something. The peppers and onions are crunchy and fresh, adding a nice texture to the sandwich. The ciabatta has just enough crisp crunch to hold the limited grease in and some nice flavor on its own. And, when tasted alone, the baked jack cheese is delightfully creamy and mild.
But the cheese gets lost in all the other flavors, and the ciabatta doesn't really effectively contain all the slivers of food within the sandwich. Worst of all, the thick cuts of buffalo come off as a little tough and chewy. Not an unpleasant sandwich, but I doubt it would last long on the streets of Philadelphia.

Jenelle Evans: Gearing Up for Breast Implants
Posted Wednesday March 21, 2012 3:08 PM GMT
Looking to get a boost in the boob department, Jenelle Evans has announced she'll be getting breast implants.
The "Teen Mom 2" starlet has reportedly been tossing around the decision for awhile, and ultimately chose to go for it.
An inside source shared, "She's wanted it for a long time. She's been to a consultation and is bragging to everyone that she's going to get them done."
"She just doesn't want to be as small up there anymore, I guess. Gary [Head, boyfriend] is kind of egging her on to do it, too."

Moulins, Calving Fronts and Greenland Outlet Glacier Acceleration
The second mechanism is a "Jakobshavn effect", coined by Terry Hughes, (1986), where a force small imbalance of forces caused by some perturbation can cause a substantial non-linear response. In this case an imbalance of forces at the calving front propagates up-glacier. Thinning causes the glacier to be more buoyant, even becoming afloat at the calving front, and is responsive to tidal changes. The reduced friction due to greater buoyancy allows for an increase in velocity. This is akin to letting off the emergency brake a bit. The reduced resistive force at the calving front is then propagated up glacier via longitudinal extension in what R. Thomas calls a backforce reduction (Thomas, 2003 and 2004). For ice streaming sections of large outlet glaciers (in Antarctica as well) there is always water at the base of the glacier that helps lubricate the flow. This water is, however, generally from basal processes, not surface melting.
If the Zwally effect is the key than since meltwater is a seasonal input, velocity would have a seasonal signal. If the Jakobshavn effect is the key the velocity will propagate up-glacier, the terminus velocity will be impacted by tides, and there will be no seasonal cycle.
On Jakobshavn the acceleration began at the calving front and spread up-glacier 20 km in 1997 and up to 55 km inland by 2003 (Joughin et al., 2004). On Helheim the thinning and velocity propagated up-glacier from the calving front. Each of the glaciers fronts did respond to tidal variations indicating they had become afloat, detached from their bed (Hamilton et al, 2006). This had been the case at Jakobshavn for the last 50 years, but not for Helheim or Kangerdlussuaq. In each case the major outlet glaciers accelerated by at least 50%, much larger than the impact noted due to summer meltwater increase. On Jakobshavn the acceleration was not restricted to the summer, persisting through the winter when surface meltwater is absent.
As a result of the above Luckman et al. ( 2006) concluded:
"The most plausible sequence of events is that the thinning eventually reached a threshold, ungrounded the glacier tongues and subsequently allowed acceleration, retreat and further thinning. It is reasonable to believe that the 1998 Jakobshavn speed-up, also following a long period of stability, was triggered by the same processes of thinning but occurred earlier and after a shorter period of thinning because the tongue was already afloat."
Examination of the acceleration of other glaciers such as the Petermann Glacier indicate a much smaller acceleration than that observed on three glaciers we have focused, and indeed it is in the summer and of a magnitude that the Zwally effect could explain (Rignot, 2005). Other large outlet glaciers such as the Rinks and Daugaard-Jensen have been stable since 1960 (Stearns et al, 2005). Many other lesser outlet glaciers have accelerated substantially.
That each of the three glaciers has a reduced velocity in 2006 and 2007 despite some exceptional melt conditions in 2007 further suggests that meltwater is not the dominant driver of the acceleration of the main outlet glaciers. Temporarily, there appears to be a force imbalance at the glacier fronts. This will reduce the annual contribution to rising sea level from glacier dynamic changes. The bad news is that the degree of acceleration that can occur via the Jakobshavn effect is greater in these cases than that from the Zwally effect. The Zwally effect is nonetheless real and also implies a direct sea level impact of greater melt.
The Jakobshavn is of particular importance as it has a bed below sea level for at least 80 km inland from the terminus. In this reach there are no significant pinning points, or abrupt changes in slope or width (Clarke and Echelmeyer, 1996) that would help stabilize the glacier during retreat. It is the only outlet glacier of GIS to lack these, and can then (via backforce reductions) tap into the heart of GIS. We know that surface melting is a slow process for raising sea level. but as Greenland's major outlet glaciers have recently shown, rapid acceleration can quickly deliver large volume of ice to the ocean. The pace of change is not glacial.

I was the first one in line on black friday..... at the boat ramp. I took a chance on an area that I had only scouted once, and it looked much different in the dark for sure. Managed two teal that came into our decoys, not much more excitement after that.
Saturday was a different story as we were able to shoot at some big ducks. I was able to shoot my first Pintail, and Fulvous, so that was the icing on the cake... Looking forward to the second split.

Alice Neel
American, 1900-1984
Nancy Selvage, 1967
Oil on canvas
96.8 x 61.3 cm (38 1/8 x 24 1/8 inches)
Gift of Richard and Hartley Neel 1994.086
Alice Neel had been painting for more than forty years when she made this work. In the 1960s, when abstraction was the dominant artistic trend, she continued to paint portraits and figurative work and often chose friends and family as her subjects; Nancy Selvage (b. 1945) was an artist friend. Neel's paintings emphasize the anatomical idiosyncrasies of her subjects through her expressionistic use of line and vivid color. Charac-teristically, she left portions of the canvas unpainted, which gave the composition an immediacy, as if it were catching a very particular moment. Neel had fleeting success with her early work and had few exhibitions until the late 1960s, when the women's movement gained momentum and generated greater interest in her paintings.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Colie CVT
This house is most definitely a zoo. Between my roommate and myself there are 7 dogs and 4 cats in this house. Not everyone gets along, but we know who has trouble with who and no one gets crazy out of control. We also board dogs here (there is an extra right now who has been here about a month) and run a hiking group locally with other dog lovers.
It is kind of a different universe. Each of my dogs is different but all of them get along together. I have far less squabbles between my dogs than my roomie does with his lol. But it is also dependent on personality too. My golden is extremely patient, calm. My female shepherd is calm, serious, confident. My puppy is a total clown, but he is also very bold and brave.
Tonight when I let them out to potty before leaving work, Doyle charged at what seemed to be nothing to me, barking in a very stand back kind of way. I called him back and he came back around the corner briefly before he went charging off again with that bark. It could be a cat, maybe someone over at the furniture place behind our work. He was not on a lead, nor with backup (my golden so isn't confrontational lol). I just started toward my car, whistling for them and they both came running lol. He is a bold little dude.
It is not easy having so many dogs around and it keeps you on your toes, but we have a lot of fun! I have high hopes for Doyle, but I am careful about what dogs he interacts with outside of those we live with. He has luckily had only good dog interactions and good people interactions.

Chip18 - Read the info in that link ... it's kind of where I am coming from. When I was young and my kids were teens, the house was filled with kids and dogs and I never gave a thought to dog bites. If a kid got bit it was usually just a nip and nothing came of it.
Life sure has changed. My grand-kids and great-grand-kids don't live close so it's just me and my husband. I see no reason to even take a chance on facing a lawsuit like the one in the link you sent me. Thank you.
Now back to learning about scent work Andrew Ramsey is amazing - I hope my guy has a good nose and likes the game.
Walk across the border - snort You so bad David. Moosehead - well, it's not as good as Alexander Keith beer but close - now I am getting homesick.
I had a dog once who would kill a cat, a little dog or anything that was small prey - this was many years ago and training a dog out of that type of behavior was unheard of (where I was from) so we never had small animals and he kept himself pretty much fed on rabbits that he caught - come to think of it he didn't chase the hens .. hmm.
Bak is showing himself to be pretty gentle .. a good fit for me at this time in my life. Living where I do makes it easy for the cats to be very comfortable outside for now. 3 of them were ferals and always loved the outside more than inside anyway. Festus, well he's another story. I only adopted him 2 months ago .. he was going to be PTS because his owner died and because Festus (age 18+) is blind in one eye - the other is pretty cloudy too but he sees shapes I think. That and the fact that he is deaf makes him pretty immune to Bak barking at him. Get close though and he will box - my other 3 cats are afraid of him and he is teaching Bak that cats are a force to be reckoned with. I admire that ol' cat.
I have no desire to have people pet my dog .. even my tiny girl. They want a dog to pet, go get one. I won't teach him not to like people - I will teach him to ignore them. One really good reason is liability .. if my dog bites he can be put down. He can be quarantined - I can be sued. I am poor from feeding my dogs human grade food (grin)
In my world my dog only needs me .. a GSD often goes for the face - I know first hand as it was my face that was bit when I was 18 and stupidly thought a wagging tail meant the dog was happy with me gushing all over it. I won't put my dog at risk to make someone else happy. There is a line where a dog can like people and other dogs but not need them - to my way of thinking. Some times I make exceptions to that rule if the person shows themselves to be knowledgeable about GSD.
But this is really getting off the topic of the issue of socializing a lot or taking time to build trust and engagement and I have that figured out now - thanks so much good people.

How does he like the boat?
Hello Doggiedad. I agree people should work with trainers if there are problems. I have spent a small fortune on one of the best in the past and it's money well spent. So far no need to take this new guy to a trainer .. he is solid and easy and considering his lack of basic OB training, a joy compared to some dogs I've had.
Yogurt is natural whole milk organic with live cultures - about 2 tbs this time .. first time was about 1 tsp but he shows no intolerance to it so it's on the menu once a week. I like to give my dogs lots of different foods - he loves bananas too.
He is out and about (Do you hear my Canadian accent - I still have it ) but not as much as I would have him out and about if he wasn't new to me. I want to assess his level of comfort in different situations and I plan on doing it slowly. The pup isn't shy and has a sound temperament so I am not concerned he will suffer from not being bombarded with everything right from the get go. I agree with the folks who think he needs to bond with me and engagement is my top priority right now.
Chip, my cats will be coming back in for sure. I have a full length glass door in the kitchen and they come up and peer in and I use that time to reward him for not barking .. first time he left his nose print in the door but he is getting better. I also go out and on the deck with him and I don't let him chase them - well, Festus wouldn't run if the house was on fire. If I had him longer I might pop his leash but for now it's just a firm no , re-direct, and treats if he doesn't bark. He seems pretty soft so I am taking it slow .. I yelled at my tiny dog today for getting all up in his grill and he didn't like the loud sound of my voice.
I have to learn this dog before I can do much but I appreciate all the advice.
Glad I will end your lonely state Chip (grin) yes training takes a long time eh?
My boy is funny in that he will react to some people or some dogs but it's mild - almost like he is learning to bark and posture. For now I just redirect with treats and I will keep an eye to see if it intensifies.
Cassidy's mom - I am watching the video again as I haven't watched it in a long time so I will keep an eye out for your girl - I wouldn't never miss a Sable .. oh I love them. Yes, mine is the first one of the series - I have the little kit too .. now to get some containers and set it up. Grand how dogs give us so many excuses to play isn't it?
Hello Happy and Lola's human ... I read that too about a LC temperament .. and so far this guy is proving that to be true. Mind you, where he had no formal training to speak of, my joints are getting a tad sore. He walks along just fine and then decides something fascinating is in the drain or the bush and with no warning he has levitated 6 feet and I wonder if I will have whiplash this time. hehe

Wayne Law Alumnus, Director of Student Life and Educational Outreach Elected to Serve on LSAC Board of Trustees
DETROIT (June 1, 2009) – Wayne State University Law School Director of Student Life and Educational Outreach Ricardo M. Villarosa, '97, was recently elected to serve as a member of the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) Board of Trustees. One of only three trustees elected this year to the international board, Villarosa will serve a three-year term that began at the LSAC Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, last week.
As a trustee, Villarosa will attend board meetings and be assigned as a trustee liaison to one of four permanent LSAC committees – the Finance and Legal Affairs Committee, the Diversity Committee, the Services and Programs Committee, or the Test Development and Research Committee. The overall mission of these committees and LSAC is to provide the highest quality admission-related services for legal educational institutions and their applicants.
Nominees, according to LSAC, were "selected from among an impressive group of persons suggested by the membership as particularly well-qualified for service." The Nominating Committee then evaluated nominees on the basis of prior service, unique skills and demonstrated interest in issues of importance to LSAC.
Villarosa has been an appointed member of the LSAC Diversity Committee since 2005. He was a member of the Academic Assistance Initiative Review Work Group and served on the 2007 LSAC Academic Assistance Training Workshop Planning Work Group. More recently, he chaired the planning committees for the LSAC Academic Assistance Training Workshops for ASP Newcomers (2008) and for Bar Support Programs (2008). He is currently chair of the 2009 Pipeline Models Conference Planning Committee.
"I have enjoyed representing Wayne Law as a member of LSAC's Diversity Committee and I look forward to the next three years on the Board of Trustees," Villarosa said. "Wayne Law and LSAC share a demonstrated commitment to legal education and the broader community of stakeholders we serve, so it is an honor and a pleasure to be a part of these two institutions."
Villarosa joined Wayne Law in 2001 as director of Supportive Services. In 2004 he developed the Wayne Law Dean's Scholars scholarship program to recruit highly credentialed candidates, and in 2006 he was named to his current position. His responsibilities include ongoing analysis and refinement of the Dean's Scholars program and developing educational outreach initiatives targeted at K-12 and early college students.
Villarosa is a past president of the Michigan Asian Pacific American Bar Association and the advisor for Wayne Law's Asian Pacific American Law Student Association. He has been involved in collaborative efforts with the American Bar Association's Presidential Advisory Council on Diversity in the Profession and the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar's Diversity Committee. Villarosa has also served as a trustee of the Detroit Metropolitan Bar Foundation and as a member of the foundation's Pipeline Committee since 2008.
Villarosa, who also currently serves as an adjunct faculty member at Central Michigan University's College of Extended Learning, earned a B.S. in corporate finance, an M.B.A. in entrepreneurship and a J.D. from Wayne State University.
"Ricardo has a great deal of experience in working on projects related to diversity, technology and financial aid within higher education and in the greater community," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "I applaud him on his election and thank him for representing Wayne Law on this prestigious board."

Every company must submit guns for testing and pay the state fees to get guns on the "list" in California. I think they have to pay a small fee to KEEP them on the list as well. And, I have been told that ANY change to a gun makes it be required to be resubmitted.
They may not want to go thru the hassle.
