About This Condition
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune illness that causes a characteristic butterfly-shaped rash on the face accompanied by inflammation of connective tissue, particularly joints, throughout the body. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body instead of protecting it. Kidney, lung, and vascular damage are potential problems resulting from SLE.
The cause of SLE is unknown, though 90% of cases occur in women of childbearing age. Several drugs, such as procainamide, hydralazine , methyldopa , and chlorpromazine, may create SLE-like symptoms. Environmental pollution and industrial emissions were associated with an increased risk of SLE in one study.1 In one reported case, zinc supplementation appears to have aggravated drug-induced SLE.2 Ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure is a commonly recognized trigger of the skin manifestations of lupus.3 Some environmental chemicals such as hydrazine4 and food dyes such as tartrazine5 may be environmental triggers of SLE in susceptible people.
Risk factors include a family history of SLE, other collagen diseases or asthma ,6 menstrual irregularity,7 beginning menstruation at age 15 or later,8 exposure to toxic chemicals,9 and low blood levels of antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin A and vitamin E , or beta-carotene .10 Free radicals are thought to promote SLE.11
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a milder form of lupus that affects the skin. Like SLE, it's not known what causes DLE, though sun exposure may trigger the first outbreak. DLE is most common among women in their thirties.
Symptoms include decreased energy, weakness, fever, nausea, diarrhea , muscle and joint pain, chest pain, bruising , loss of appetite, weight loss, and a red, butterfly-shaped rash across the nose and cheeks. In addition, people with SLE may have symptoms of mouth sores, joint swelling, hair loss, changes in personality, seizures, and a coin-shaped, red skin rash elsewhere on the body that is aggravated by sunlight. Kidney, lung, and blood-vessel damage are potentially life-threatening manifestations of SLE.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
In preliminary research, smoking has been linked to significantly increased risk of developing SLE, while drinking alcohol has been associated with a decrease in risk.12 The importance of these associations remains unclear, though an increased risk for many other diseases has been definitively linked to excessive consumption of alcohol.
Eating Right
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
|Feast on fish and flaxseed
Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and flaxseed, may decrease lupus-induced inflammation.
Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and flaxseed , may decrease lupus-induced inflammation. In one preliminary trial, nine people with kidney damage due to SLE were fed increasing amounts of flaxseed for a total of 12 weeks.13 After examining the results, researchers concluded that 30 grams per day was the optimal intake for improving kidney function, decreasing inflammation, and reducing atherosclerotic development. Flaxseeds also contain antioxidants , potentially helpful to those with SLE.14
To date, all studies on fish oil have used supplements and not fish (see below). Nonetheless, many doctors recommend that SLE patients eat several servings of fatty fish each week.
|Try a low-fat diet
Some animal studies have suggested that eating fewer calories and less fat may help improve lupus.
An isolated case of someone with SLE improving significantly after the introduction of a vegetarian diet has been reported.15 In Japan, women who frequently ate fatty meats, such as beef and pork, were reported to be at higher risk for SLE compared with women eating little of these foods.16 Consuming fewer calories, less fat, and foods low in phenylalanine and tyrosine (prevalent in high protein foods, such as meat and dairy) might be helpful, according to animal and preliminary human studies.17
|Avoid alfalfa
Alfalfa seeds and sprouts contain the amino acid L-canavanine, which provokes a lupus-like condition in monkeys and possibly humans.
Alfalfa seeds and sprouts contain the amino acid L-canavanine, which provokes a lupus-like condition in monkeys18 and possibly humans.19 For this reason, some doctors recommend that people with SLE should avoid these foods. Cooking alfalfa seeds has been reported to erase this effect.20
|Uncover food allergies
Work with a knowledgeable healthcare provider to see if food allergies are contributing to your condition.
Spanish researchers discovered that people with SLE tend to have more allergies , including food allergies, than do healthy people or even people with other autoimmune diseases.21 While one study reported that drinking milk was associated with a decrease in SLE risk,22 other investigations point to both beef23 and dairy24 as foods that might trigger allergic reactions in some people with SLE. Casein, the main protein in cow's milk, has immune-stimulating properties.25 This might explain why some people with SLE have been reported to be intolerant of milk products. Although there are several published case reports of patients with SLE showing clinical improvement after avoiding allergenic foods, additional research is needed to determine the importance of allergies as a cause of SLE. People with SLE who wish to explore whether allergies are contributing to their condition should consult a doctor.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
3 Stars
Fish Oil
Up to 20 grams fish oil per day after consultation with a doctor
Supplementing with fish oil may improve symptoms and decrease disease activity.
The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil -eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA )-decrease inflammation. Supplementation with EPA and DHA has prevented autoimmune lupus in animal research.26 In a double-blind trial, 20 grams of fish oil daily combined with a low-fat diet led to improvement in 14 of 17 people with SLE in 12 weeks.27 Other studies also found that supplementing with 10 to 15 grams of fish oil per day,28 or with the amount of EPA and DHA provided by 10 grams per day of fish oil,29 is beneficial for people with SLE. People wishing to take such a large amount of fish oil should first consult with a doctor.
2 Stars
Take under medical supervision: 50 to 200 mg daily
Treatment with DHEA may improve symptoms and decrease disease activity.
Low blood levels of the hormone DHEA and the related compound DHEA-sulfate have been associated with more severe symptoms in people with SLE.30 Preliminary trials have suggested that 50 to 200 mg per day DHEA improved symptoms in people with SLE.31 , 32 One double-blind trial of women with mild to moderate SLE found that 200 mg of DHEA per day improved symptoms and allowed a greater decrease in prednisone use,33 but a similar trial in women with severe SLE found only insignificant benefits.34
Experts have concerns about the use of DHEA , particularly because there are no long-term safety data. Side effects at high intakes (50 to 200 mg per day) in one 12-month trial included acne (in over 50% of people), increased facial hair (18%), and increased perspiration (8%). Less common problems reported with DHEA supplementation were breast tenderness, weight gain, mood alteration, headache, oily skin, and menstrual irregularity.35
High amounts of DHEA have caused cancer in animals.36 , 37 Although anticancer effects of DHEA have also been reported,38 they involve trials using animals that do not process DHEA the way humans do, so these positive effects may have no relevance for people. Links have begun to appear between higher DHEA levels and risks of prostate cancer in humans.39 At least one person with prostate cancer has been reported to have had a worsening of his cancer despite feeling better while taking very high amounts (up to 700 mg per day) of DHEA.40 While younger women with breast cancer may have low levels of DHEA, postmenopausal women with breast cancer appear to have high levels of DHEA, which has researchers concerned.41 These cancer concerns make sense because DHEA is a precursor to testosterone (linked to prostate cancer) and estrogen (linked to breast cancer). Until more is known, it would be prudent for people with breast or prostate cancer or a family history of these conditions to avoid supplementing with DHEA. Preliminary evidence has also linked higher DHEA levels to ovarian cancer in women.42
Some doctors recommend that people taking DHEA have liver enzymes measured routinely. Anecdotes of DHEA supplementation (of at least 25 mg per day) leading to heart arrhythmias have appeared.43 At only 25 mg per day, DHEA has lowered HDL cholesterol while increasing insulin-like growth factor (IGF).44 Decreasing HDL could increase the risk of heart disease . Increasing IGF might increase the risk of breast cancer.
2 Stars
60 to 120 mg per day
In a small, controlled study, Pycnogenol seemed to help decrease systemic lupus erythematosus activity, measured with a combination of signs, symptoms, and blood measurements.
In a small, controlled study, people with SLE were given medication and either a placebo or Pycnogenol in the amount of 120 mg per day for 30 days followed by 60 mg per day for another 30 days. SLE disease activity, measured with a combination of signs, symptoms, and blood measurements, declined further in the group taking Pycnogenol.45
2 Stars
Tripterygium wilfordii
Take under medical supervision: an herbal extract equivalent to 30 to 45 grams daily
This Chinese herb may relieve symptoms such as malaise and joint pain.
Preliminary evidence indicates that some Chinese herbs may help those with SLE. In one preliminary trial, a formula composed of 17 Chinese herbs was given to people with SLE.46 Of the people who were also taking cortisone, 92% improved, but 85% of those taking the herbs alone also benefited. People with SLE-induced kidney damage given a combination of conventional drugs plus a Chinese herbal formula for six months did significantly better than those given the drugs alone.47 Various Chinese herbs have prolonged survival in animals with SLE.48
One of these Chinese herbs, Tripterygium wilfordii, is thought to benefit those with SLE or DLE by both suppressing immune function and acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. When people with DLE took 30 to 45 grams of tripterygium per day for two weeks in a preliminary trial, most experienced some degree of improvement, including reduction or disappearance of skin rashes.49 Skin rashes in eight people completely cleared up, while in ten people over 50% of the rash improved.
A preliminary trial gave the same dose of tripterygium to people with SLE. 50 After one month, 54% experienced relief from symptoms such as joint pain and malaise.
Use of the crude tripterygium herb is not recommended, and people interested in using it should work with their doctor to obtain the specially prepared and standardized extracts used in clinical studies. Because of potential side effects, people with SLE or DLE should consult with a doctor experienced in herbal medicine before using this herb. In the first two studies summarized, less than 8% of women with DLE and approximately one-third of women with SLE experienced amenorrhea (cessation of menstruation) after taking tripterygium. Other side effects ranged from stomach upset or pain, to nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, and increased facial coloring. Both studies found that these effects subsided with time once people stopped using the herb. However, some reports have found more serious side effects and even death with use of tripterygium.51 Pregnant women should not use the herb.
Finally, a report suggests that long-term use (over five years) of tripterygium significantly reduced bone density in women taking it to treat lupus.52 While this loss of bone density was less severe than that found with long-term use of prednisone, lupus patients should have their bone density checked at yearly intervals by their doctor when using the herb.
2 Stars
Vitamin D
Refer to label instructions
In a double-blind trial, people who took vitamin D daily experienced a decrease in disease activity and flare-ups.
People with SLE frequently have low blood levels of vitamin D (measured as 25-hydroxyvitamin D). In a double-blind trial, supplementing with 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D for 12 months significantly decreased disease activity by an average of 37%, compared with a placebo. In addition, the proportion of patients who experienced a disease flare during the study was significantly lower in the vitamin D group than in the placebo group (10% vs. 24%).53 A few patients taking vitamin D developed elevated levels of calcium in the blood or urine. Therefore, SLE patients interested in taking vitamin D supplements should be monitored by a doctor.
1 Star
Refer to label instructions
Though a safe amount has not been established, one preliminary trial found that this herb could decrease overactive immune function in people with this disease.
One Chinese preliminary trial also found that astragalus could decrease overactive immune function in people with systemic lupus erythematosus.54 However, much more research is needed to know whether astragalus is safe in lupus or any other autoimmune disease.
1 Star
N-Acetyl Cysteine
600 mg three times per day
In a case report, a woman with kidney disease due to SLE (lupus nephritis) may have had an improvement in her kidney function due to treatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
In a case report, a woman with kidney disease due to SLE (lupus nephritis) had an improvement in her kidney function and was able to taper off of her steroid medicine after starting treatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in the amount of 600 mg 3 times per day. She continued NAC, and after a total of 13 months her disease was considered inactive.55

October 1938 at the Alamo. "Mildred Irwin, saloon singer at North Platte, Nebraska. She entertained for 20 years in Omaha before coming to North Platte." Medium-format safety negative by John Vachon.
Letter from John Vachon to his wife, Penny:
October 29, 1938 Last night I had an adventure. Of the 1st water. To have it I had to get kind of stiff. And I did, dear. Pretty plastered. But it was all in the line of duty, eminently legitimate and justifiable. About eight o'clock I went into a corner saloon. It was a saloon in the grand tradition. I drank only beer, but great gobs of it. At the piano was a big huge large fat blonde woman of 45 to 50 yrs. With beautiful smeary red makeup on her puss, and huge mammy type bosoms. And her voice, O that you could hear her voice. She has Sophie Tucker in the wastebasket . . .

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I am also brand new and plan to flood everyone with questions lol, when I get mine this summer, it'll be my first! Congrats
|welcome , tell us more about Konig !
Thank you for your service!!. I can't wait to see pics. It sounds like your doing it right. Shepherds are a LOT of work but so worth it in the end.
If possible, I would find a trainer in your area that is used to training Shepherds and similar breeds. Get some basic puppy and advanced puppy and proceed from there. The training is more about training you than the dog. We have our new boy in basic puppy and it has been a lot of fun.
Spend a couple weeks just bonding with the pup. Work on potty training and crate training. I think the bonding made a huge difference. We played, loved and just generally enjoyed him for the first couple weeks. We made the decision to get ours into training VERY early and overall he has done quite well. Last week in training he shined and out performed all the other older dogs. The other parents in the class were taking pictures of him, he was a Rock Star. Shepherds are so smart.
|I always' get enjoyment thanking individuals for their service to our Country. Hope you get exactly the GSD your looking for..
Congrats! I can't wait to see pics!
We were not dog people, but our daughters will be training for cross country...needed running buddy's! We researched and waited for almost two years. We finally decided to go with shepherds...:-) we have NEVER regretted it! My husband who was against them other than for running buddy's now takes them to the office with him. Everyone has fallen in love and they have completed our family!
I can't image a better dog. Our best friends who are not dog people, got one as well....they fell in love with ours and agreed, they are not like other dogs. I know how much joy they have brought us, even with all of the work...!
It sounds like you are ready to care and love a puppy...! Good luck! They are worth so much more than we give them. I am so excited for you! I guess knowing the love coming your way is part if it....:-) Get ready to never be alone....;-) miles (our male) is my shadow.

Expectant Parent ;)
Hi everyone! Just dropping in to say hello. I've actually been creeping around this forum for quite some time now. Never made an account because it seemed that every time i had a question, it had pretty much already been asked and discussed before! (tells you how great the forum is!).
Anyways, I'll be picking up "König" from the breeder in 14 days! I've bought all my supplies, done my research, set up his crate, been going over training with my family, even got a new Dyson Animal and Roomba just to help manage the shedding.. now the only thing thats missing is the pup
A little about me: My name is Jonathan. I've actually wanted a dog for over 6 years now.. but i was in the Military and it was just never the right time. Finally completed my contract last September and have since looked and looked all over for the right breeder... and finally feel like I found my pup. This will be my first dog, but for a while GSD's became an obsession. During my time in Afghanistan i had a few MP's attached to my squad who had GSD bomb/weapons/protection dogs. One of them actually saved the life of my buddy who lost his leg to an IED. His dog, Emi, sniffed out the bomb, and pulled him away and took most of the blast but he took some shrapnel to his leg. They're both now retired from the Marine Corps and living together. But seeing their work ethic, loyalty, courage, and playfulness (off the clock).. there was no doubt a GSD was the only dog I wanted.
Well, now that i have an account, i hope you guys are ready to get bombarded with some GSD noobie questions! I'll be sure to get pics up as soon as i bring him home.

Liddick: Whose fault our anemic recovery?
April 30, 2012
When he was president, Herbert Hoover used the family china in the White House because he didn't think US taxpayers owed him a set of dishes. In 2009, Michelle Obama flew herself and the girls to London on a taxpayer-owned 757 for a short sightseeing trip two days after the president had returned from England. Separate flights have happened several times since, the last one to Hawaii. That family convenience set the taxpayer back about $100,000.
Readers' reactions to the above are informative. Those believing the president is the savior of an America caught in the clutches of evil plutocrats will rave that such minor expenses are necessary because the First Family is inconceivably hard-working and plagued by tribulations beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. Those on the other end of the spectrum will see another example of the president's hell-spawned focus on wrecking the country and everyone in it. Most of us will be somewhere in the middle, noting that while Hoover could have been a bit more energetic in late 1929, the current president should probably stop acting as though public money were his own.
Now that we've separated the sheep, goats and normal folks respectively, some facts follow that might help in understanding our current economic muddle.
In 2009, shortly after he was inaugurated, President Obama began a full-court press for his "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," a.k.a. the "spendulus" bill. As a result of that $859 billon burst of borrowed money, he predicted economic growth would be 3.2 percent for 2010, 4 percent for 2011 and 4.6 percent for 2012.
At the time, some economists worried these projections were too optimistic, but their objections were brushed aside in the general Obamamania. But in 2010, GDP growth was negative. In 2011, it was 1.7 percent. So far this year, 2.2 percent. Maybe.
Even in mid- 2010, the White House said GDP growth would be 2.0 percent for the year, and that it would accelerate in 2011 to 3.8 percent, rise to 5.8 percent this year and be over 4 percent through 2014. Rapid economic expansion would lower the unemployment rate to below 6 percent.
Private economists worried these projections were also too optimistic, but their concerns were pooh-poohed by the White House and Congressional Democrats. The real figures were much lower, as noted above.
By September 2011, the OMB admitted that growth rate would be 1.9 percent for that year, a figure later revised to 1.7 percent. Unemployment would remain above 9 percent. But a 2.6 percent growth rate was predicted for 2012 and 3.6 percent for the following year. Most economists said these figures were unrealistic. Rejections of their criticisms were vehement.
First-quarter GDP growth rate for 2012 has hovered around 2.2 percent – assuming that it won't be "adjusted" downward later, when no one is looking – a pattern we've seen many times in the past several years. The unemployment rate is dropping as well, although we should wait until that figure is "adjusted," as it has been in 59 of the past 60 weeks. But it's not dropping for the reasons the president cited when pushing "spendulus," or at any later intervention. It is dropping because people are leaving the workforce in very large numbers, worn out by the fruitless search for employment. In 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.2 million American workers vanished. The White House doesn't deal with this uncomfortable fact much – save for press secretary Jay Carney, who said in February that the flight from the workforce was "good for the economy."
So when one examines raw data in BLS statistics there is not much reason for celebration. January figures, for example, noted that 234,000 jobs had "been created" – and there was great rejoicing. But the report also revealed the total number of employed persons fell by 737,000. This apparent contradiction is possible because the former figure considers all employment, even to fill positions previously existing, as the creation of a "new" job. The latter is absolute. In calculating national economic health, one probably ought to take both into account, as did Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, who said in March, "… increase in employment since the end of 2009 has been due to a significant decline in layoffs but only a moderate improvement in hiring."
If you are annoyed by the above – whether at the president for inflated claims and disappointing reality, or at the author for drawing attention to the persistent gap between promises and performance – ask yourself a simple question. In choosing an object of odium, who poses the greater risk for the country, and for us all: the leader who masks failure in rosy predictions and populist smoke, or he who draws attention to these "inconvenient truths?"
The decision will tell you which you value more: politics, or fact.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Aggression (the good, the bad & the ugly) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/aggression-good-bad-ugly/)
Same Sex Aggression?
I am aware of same-sex aggression in dogs but was not aware it was specifically a GSD problem until recently through reading threads on this board.
I have an elderly Beagle/terrier mix ed female who is slowing down, beginning to cataracts, losing muscle tension, etc. I would assume she's alpha for now.
I also have a female GSD who's a young puppy right now. I don't have the best information about her as she was a rescue. Her mother was friendly to people as well as animals from what little I saw. I have no idea about her father other than he was a "large GSD".
Going into this, I assumed the mix would rule the roost until the GSD matures and challenges her. As old as she is, I can't imagine her putting up a "to the death fight" but now I'm concerned that both dogs are female. The mix will roll my GSD if the pup is too rambunctious, now and then she may tell her off with bared teeth but nothing exciting in my opinion.
Can someone with multiple females in the house chime in? Does age difference matter? Is the fighting over dominance the usual battle for it until one submits or do females suddenly start resource guarding and such with other dogs in the house? :confused:
The puppy should probably not cause any problems until she is up over a year, and actually, the age difference may make all the difference, as they are raised together.
Right now that baby is just a baby and wants to play. The old dog is OLD, and her joints and body can be hurt by a rambunctious puppy, so she is probably letting the baby know what she can and can't do. Keep an eye on it.
When the pup is mature, in two years, your mix may very well be still around as 15 is not out of the question. It will make total sense to crate one or the other when you can't supervise, and come down on the pup if in your presence she starts giving the old one trouble.
If worse comes to worse, which is actually pretty unlikely, considering the vast differences between the two, specifically age and power, you may have to crate and rotate.
But just because of the age of the Old Lady, and the youth of the pup, it makes sense to separate when you cannot supervise, and pay attention. If the pup is getting on the older ones nerves or body, it makes sense to give them a break from each other, until the baby realizes that playing nice, and being gentle means one thing, and getting crazy means another.
I think as well there couldn't be any problem, problems occur between females of a similar age. Instead, of course, it could be better for them both to create a pack. Take them more often for a walk and let them interact freely, normally the youngster learns from the older dog, play with both. Feed them treats in the kitchen, one at a time. Pack members eat, sleep and walk together. If there's anything between them - hesitate to interfere, because it could be just a "talk" between them. Be aware of 3 months onwards - it is when the gums become itchy and your puppy may start to bite harder. Try to redirect her to raw beef bones and toys to chew. If you call her to yourself every time she wants a rough game for war-of-tug - she would expect it and come to you to play instead of bothering your older dog. And, yes, think how you can separate them if necessary.
Actually fights happen between females with similar power. Age is a consideration, especially when putting two young adult females together. But, it doesn't have to be only those similar in age. It depends on specific characteristics they are born with -- where they are likely to fall in the pack order, how likely they are to follow or to lead, and how close the other bitch is to them in their likelihood to follow or lead. If the old one is alpha now only because she is an adult and the other is a pup, then the power might change in a couple of years, and if the puppy is a strong leader, than it is possible that there will be no major issues in that change.
If they are both naturally ingrained to be #1 bitch in the family, then when the youngster is reaching maturity, she may cross the line deliberately, and allowing them to figure it out for themselves can be fatal.
I think that strong leadership on the part of the owners can make it a non-issue so long as the owners do not leave them unsupervised with full access to each other. I do think that with the pup raised with the elder dog, she will be able to train the pup up, and there may never be any serious same-sex aggression.
It just always is a question with bitches though.
I have a 9.5 year old female that is not GSD and a 2.5 yr old female GSD. The older dog has always been the one in charge. The younger one has challenged her a couple times and the older one did not back down. It was not a fight but the younger one getting in the older ones face kinda thing. I did step in because the oldest has earned her rank and it should be respected. They have figured out how to work together and they have each other's back. I feel the younger one is learning everything from the older one and will take over one day. If one of the younger dogs is messing with the older dog, the GSD is there in a minute to make sure all is well. It's really interesting to watch them, I can almost see what they are thinking. They are bonded and are together quite often playing, watching, and directing the boys.
Thank you everyone for chiming in your experience. I feel more confident about having two girls! :) I'll keep an eye on making sure the old lady's space and rank is respected.
My last question is about resource guarding between dogs. The Old Lady will take a toy (which previously she had no interest in until the pup came home) and horde it in her bed. She'll bear her teeth and flatten her ears if the pup comes close. I usually allow teeth showing but correct snarls/air snaps. I understand the pup needs to be told but I don't like my dogs snapping/growling for any reason. I remove the resource from both dogs after the correction. Is this the right way to go about it? Or should the pup learn not to go for the old lady's resources?
Maybe train the puppy that the room where the old lady sleeps, the puppy is not allowed in. Then the conflict will be eliminated because the puppy will never get close enough to her bed to make her feel the need to guard her resource.
But I am no expert on resource guarding. I am just thinking that the old one is so old that maybe avoiding conflict may be the way to go.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by del, Feb 25, 2014.
Pistons should tank and tank hard « PistonPowered
We'll probably yank into the 8th spot and lose the pick due to a leap frog lottery winner. 12% chance I believe.
I have the same feeling Tas... it will happen, I know it! Every F-year is the same, some teams gets ahead of us..
One step closer (as I think we have lost to the Pelicans so far this season). Going to be difficult to get in that bottom 8. I think we need the Knicks to make a playoff push. 2/3/14 1. Bucks 11-47 0.190 2. 76ers 15-44 0.254 3. Magic 18-43 0.295 4. Celtics 20-40 0.333 5. Lakers 20-39 0.339 6. Kings 20-39 0.339 7. Knicks 21-38 0.356 8. Jazz 21-37 0.362 9. Pistons 23-36 0.390 10. Pelicans 23-36 0.390 11. Cavs 24-37 0.393 12. Nuggets 25-33 0.431 13. Hawks 26-31 0.456
The bucks are really playing hardball here.
We can count on the Kings, New York and Boston trying to move up.. But we can't count on the Pistons losing on April.
The Kings had a big lead over the Lakers on Friday night, before they decided to out tank LA and they "came back" to lose. The Knicks are staying within 15-20 of the Bulls today so they won't be accused of hard tanking like the Sixers..... According to the ABC/ESPN sport graphics, the Knicks need to eliminate their early daytime games are they will be 1-8 after todays' loss. The Pelicans didn't show up at all last night falling behind to the Clippers by as many as 30 before losing by 25... We need Trey Burke and Kyrie Irving to step up and get the Jazz and Cavs more wins... Still 23 games left for the Pistons....so either you win 5 of 6 to catch and surpass the Hawks...or lose 5 of 6 to catch and pass the Jazz, Knicks and Kings the other way
Tomorrow Pistons - Knicks It'll be nice to lose that one in the tanking race.
I'm surprising the Bucks are losing so frequently with Middleton on their roster.
Well that win was not useful. It is sad that I woke up this morning and checked the score hoping we had lost though. 4/3/14 5. Knicks 21-40 0.344 6. Kings 21-39 0.350 7. Lakers 21-39 0.350 8. Jazz 21-39 0.350 9. Pelicans 23-37 0.383 10. Cavs 24-37 0.393 11. Pistons 24-36 0.400 12. Nuggets 25-34 0.424 13. Hawks 26-32 0.448 Still, it looks like we are still too far adrift to overtake the Hawks. I think we are going to finish right where we are - 9th in the East and lose the pick. This is even sadder than my morning score check.
The Pistons are dead smack in the middle of the DISASTER ZONE....3 games out of making the playoffs, 3 games out of keeping their 1st round pick.
One measly win and we drop from 9th to 11th... Pretty soon, the Nuggets will get in on the Tanking act and we may be fighting with them too. At this point we need to cheer for any team that plays the Hawks who have now lost 3 in a row and 12 out of 13. A playoff appearance, whether getting swept or winning one game is better than finishing in the disaster zone. Plus is builds on momentum of attracting the reluctant free agent.
The only way to go is forward. Ditch the tank and play for your pride. Pistons should set a reasonable goal for themselves: don't lose any of the remaining home games, and then let the chips fall where they may. If they don't make the playoffs, fine. At least they can take pride in the fact that they protected their home floor.
Deeeeeeeeeetroit Basketball!!!!
After this summer Gores' sales pitch to FA's is going to be, Ditch your pride and play for the Pistons!.
It's easier to climb than fall, given the expected win percentage of the teams below and above us. Tanking will take a serious losing streak.
I agree. It might be time to get BoT into the lineup...
This comment is both sarcastic and based in truth at the same time. Not sure how that is possible
It comes with experience, my friend. Once you get 13,000 posts under your belt, you too will be able to pull off such a task.
Well that loss to the Bulls told us what we should be doing - we need to roll over in the 4th quarter of this season, just like we have been in games. Don't really follow draft prospects, but came across a report about a young fellow countryman last night, Dante Exum - while I know he is projected to be higher than we could fall, would still love to see him in a Pistons jersey.

Ender's Game
Ender's Game, based on the 1985 (then updated in 1991) novel by Orson Scott Card, is a military sci-fi story set on earth, in the future. All of mankind is at risk after two conflicts with an insect like alien species. To solve the dilemma of a possible third invasion, tween children, including Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), are trained to be the new warriors, at a very young age, using incredibly intense video war games, in zero gravity. Here the genius of Ender is revealed. Turns out he's a regular George Patton at interstellar war fare. Also starring Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley and Viola Davis, the film appears to be a video game, turned into a movie, then turned into a video game. As a non gamer type, I found this to be really well written with a good screenplay, and mind blowing effects, especially in IMAX. Also, unusual to see this in a movie from this genre, a good strong message about the methods of war, and war's morality. Bring your tween gamers to this!

We had a great holiday with the most beautiful weather. We did enjoy the little garden alot where we were able to sit all five of us.
In house that´s impossible. There are only one couch for two persons and one couch for three. And one toilet is not much if you want to be ten persons in the house. That's not recommendable. It is hard to believe the house is 150 square meters.
It cost USD 3.0 or 3.5 with the bus per person to Manhattan one way. It's very easy though.
Don´t take a taxi from JFK airport to this apartment, it is to expensive and the trafic is horible. But the way with train, subway and bus is too long. Find another airport if you want to stay in New Jersey.
Tanto Gabriela como Roberto son dos anfitriones estupendos. Gabriela es muy amable y siempre atenta a las necesidades. Gran matrimonio y buenos caseros. El sitio, muy recomendable. Cerca de Nueva York.
We did have a good time exploring New York from the appartment of Gabriela. The appartment is situated in a very quiet and nice neighborhood and we also were able to park our car in front of the appartment. It only takes 10 minutes by bus to get to port authority from where you easily can go anywhere in New York. The appartment is very clean, generously sized and you can use Wlan, TV, kitchen and utitities or sit in on the terrace. Gabriela is very friendly and supportive and helped us with all our questions and gave good recommendations. We can recommend a stay in the appartment. Thank you again Gabriela for your hostility!
I had a great time at this apartment. It is really close to the bus stops to\from NYC. Gabriela and Robert are kind and responcive people.
Appartamento completo,con tutto disponibile all' interno
ogni 3 giorni veniva la donna a ritirare la spazzatura e cambiare gli asciugamani.
Posizione buona con vicino vari Market e ristoranti Ispanici,unica nota dolente il Bus 123 che all'andata verso il centro citta' passava ogni 60 minuti ca. e la maggior parte delle volte era strapieno quindi non caricava piu' nessuno e bisognava camminare(circa 1.5 km) quindi fino all' inizio della Palisade ave. a prenderne un'altro...il resto tutto ok.
Alles perfekt und unkompliziert ! Gabriella war sehr freundlich und absolut zuverlässig. Wohnung und lage ist oll !
Gabriella and her family are very lovely hosts. The accommodation is close to Manhattan (20-30 min to Times Square, depending on the traffic with bus nr. 123), bed room and bathroom (NYC vista!!!) were very clean and we could use a comfortable living room / balcony with down town NYC vista (That was great!).
It is indeed relaxing and calm after a busy day in NYC.
Don´t be afraid of the dog :-)
Just a small comment: call Gabriella before you arrive.
Good transport connection (20 min to manhattan), optimum Price/ performance ratio, safe and quiet place, Gaby is a nice person who gives us good informations to find her place

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
For those like me that bought the factory kit only to find out that your cruise control light does not function after it is installed, I would like to share what I did about it. I just couldnt accept my light not working. In fact, I consider the light not functioning to be a safety issue
but maybe thats just me. Heres how I did it:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Unhook the speed control cable from the throttle body (this makes it easier to get the cable off the servo). Leave the cable housing attached to the bracket.
3. Remove the speed control actuator cable from the servo by pressing in on the lock and rotating counterclockwise about 1/8 turn. Pressing the spring holding the cable onto the actuator pulley will help to get the cable completely off.
4. Disconnect the servo wire harness.
5. Remove the servo from the firewall.
6. Drill a 1/8 hole in the back of the servo harness connector at the pin 1 position. You will feel the drill go through the black plastic and then through the inner white plastic.
7. Pry outwards on the red locking bar on the servo connector with a small screwdriver and remove.
8. Trim off the tab on the red bar and also the black tab in the pin 1 position (an X-Acto knife works well for this). This makes room for the wire in the next step. Insert the red bar back into the connector.
9. Run the end of a wire (18 to 22 gauge should work fine) about 7 ft. long through the back of the servo connector pin 1 position. Pull enough wire through the connector to do the next step.
10. Solder the wire to pin 1 on the servo on the side next to the connector latch. You can bend the tab down slightly to make this easier, but straighten it back up after soldering. Dont wrap the wire around the tab because there is not enough room.
11. Reinstall the servo on the firewall.
12. Reattach the servo wire harness to the servo. Pull the wire attached to pin 1 of the servo out the back of the connector while doing this.
13. Feed the new wire down the harness going through the firewall and into the interior.
14. Apply sealant (i.e. silicone) to the back of the servo connector around the new wire.
15. Reattach both ends of the servo speed control cable.
16. Remove the instrument cluster.
17. Solder the new wire to pin 4 on the instrument cluster connector as shown at the first of this thread (I attached mine on the backside of the board on the trace next to the bulb instead of on the connector, but either will work). Tie-wrap the wire to the instrument cluster and leave enough slack in the wire to allow for servicing the cluster.
18. Reinstall the instrument cluster.
19. Reconnect the battery.
20. Enjoy the light!
|wondering if you guys could tell me if my cruise control buttons/switches gets power or is routed trough the factory stereo? I installed a aftermarket deck and lost cruise if i put the factory deck back in and get cruise back this has led me to believe that my cruise must be getting power from my factory deck if so is it possible to just cut that wire and power the cruise from another source any help would be great.
I would like to note an error in prior documentation that needs corrected for later year applications.
A running change was made in the clock spring that affects pin outs. I don't have enough wiring diagrams to determine the year that this change was made. It may be prior to 2005, I don't know. In any event, my 2007 clock spring uses pin 3 to feed battery positive power to the steering wheel cruise control switches. It is not pin 6 in a 2007 Focus, as might be assumed from reading the posted wiring diagrams and tables. The color of the pin 3 wire is still green with yellow stripe, so folks splicing wires based upon color and ignoring pin#'s should have no issues. Of course, a green-yellow color is also used on both sides of the brake switch and this doesn't help much lol.
After performing this conversion on an 07, not much to add. On ALL Duratec cars '07 and older, I believe the servo mounts in front of the battery behind the drivers headlight. Info is a bit sketchy on 05 and older duratec pzev's, but I believe they are much like 07's. The Duratec throttle body and intake is mounted in front of the engine instead of behind it. The mechanical cable loops downward under the intake and takes a 180 loop back toward the throttle body mounting point.
The servo and cable is unique to duratec cars. The hardware & wiring inside the car is very similar for 00 thru 07. Later duratec cars seem to have a clockspring that's cruise ready. This was always true in 2007. You can buy a '05 to '07 steering wheel with cruise switches on ebay. I paid $50 for a leather ST wheel and it fit nice on my strippo 07 S car. The wiring harness is fairly simple, about 12 wires. My '07 already had the green interlock switch on the pedal assy.
OK, the '06 to '07 cruise servo/module is mounted on an existing black painted steel bracket found on all cars which extends between the front of the battery rack to the left fender. It has threaded bosses on it to mount the servo module. I guess the bracket is discontinued because everyone already has a one on their car. There are two different servos for '06-'07 cars, one is for 2.3L and another for 2.0L. I imagine it is calibrated differently since the motors and throttle bodies are quite different.
The green connector on my '07 car (without cruise) is taped to the harness about 2" away from where it would connect to a cruise control brake position sensor. It's easy to spot.
I'm not understanding what all the '06-'07 Focus cruise ecms are selling on ebay because they never show a pic. Are those servo modules? I read threads here claiming the pcm needs programmed to enable cruise but maybe that's for '09 and up fly by wire. Some go so far as claiming you need ot visit the dealer for a reflash and provide them a VIN# of a car with cruise.
I need to understand where the servo is mounted on '06 and '07 car. I see the battery box bracket has some space between the fender and battery with three bosses on it to accept bolts. However some service manal pics suggest the bracket is on the engine. There is also a little aluminum platform mount over top of the tranny bell just behind the cylinder head that would seem to fit a servo.
Here's the wiring guide and parts list I made:
I don't think anything has changed on the clock spring from 05 and above but it looked similar and the plugs were the same.
I did notice that on an 04 that did not have cruise, it did have the clock spring for the cruise wires and the connector had the white, brown, and green/yellow wires on it, so maybe after 04 they decided to just have one clock spring instead of two?
The hole above the black switch is the where the green brake pedal position switch goes. You said that the green switch was there, where is it tied away at?
The ECU/PCM does not need to be programmed to use cruise. Only 08 and above need to be programmed since they are drive-by-wire systems. The only thing the PCM is used for with cruise on the 00-07 is Pin # 28 which is the Vehicle Speed Sensor, but I've come to find that you don't even need to run a wire all the way over to that side of the car, all you need to do is tap into the Green/White wire from the radio, which is the same signal.
The details about 2005 cars are muddy in my mind. It appears to be carryover from '04 design.
However with respect to 2006 thru 2007 vintage cars, it appears they are all wired for cruise (ready). There does not appear to be a clockspring part# without cruise for this vintage, so it's equipped with one. The car also came equipped with clutch switch.
The servo module is built into the cruise servo beginning in 2006, so there's not stand-alone cruise control module. For this reason, the wiring to the servo is similar if not identical to the wiring to the pre-'05 module. From what I can see, the only things missing on my car are:
1) speed control servo (has integral module with 10 pin electrical plug)
2) cruise switches for steering wheel (or complete cruise steering wheel)
3) brake pedal position switch
I am confused whether the ECM/PCM needs programmed for cruise. I don't see why this would be necessary since the speed sensing is a standard feature and the cruise module intelligence is contained in the servo assy. But I really don't know.

Quote from: skflyfish on March 12, 2011, 10:51:51 AMFound a plan for making styrene nucs.JayStyrene nuc plansI use to make a lot of airplanes from this material and I found urethane glues to be the best for strength. When you cut the edges with a saw you loose that flat film surface and the urethane glues will foam and fill all the crevices. The down side is urethane is not as healthy for you to use until it is fully cured.
IS that where you get your handel--RDY-B
BUT, Acebird's experience with urethane glues makes me believe one could adjust the dimensions out a 1/4 inch each direction and laminate some 1/8 inch luan to the intertior, so the bees won't chew the polystyrene.
If you laminate the outside also after the box is constructed you will have darn near an indestructible box.

Gutter cleaning in Grenada MS 38901 is necessary to preserve your roof and save yourself some money down the line with repairs, which could have otherwise been avoided with a little maintenance. Especially when you are thinking of selling your home in Grenada MS, keeping the gutters clean is key. Think of gutter cleaning as a preventative medicine for the structure of your roof. Gutter maintenance is an important step to maintaining your roof, your home and your budget in Mississippi.
The first step in gutter cleaning is to remove any and all debris, including leaves, twigs or other objects from your roof. Using a regular broom, walk around your home and sweep away any visible debris. Avoid walking directly on the roof as this is both dangerous to you, and also to the structure of the roof itself. You can get to those hard to reach spots by using a ladder. If you have a fear of heights, call a contractor or ask a friend to help you.
Once your roof is clear of debris, move on to inspecting the gutters. It's inevitable that, everything from your roof, will probably make it's way into the gutters. Look for leaves, twigs, rocks or anything that could cause damage and remove it carefully without applying any pressure to the gutters. If you are using a ladder for this process, don't stretch to reach a certain spot. Climb down and move the ladder over, but never stretch beyond your reaching point as this could cause a serious fall.
Once you've completed this step of gutter cleaning, take a minute to examine the gutter fitting which connects to the downspout. Remove any debris to avoid clogging. If you do find any clogged areas, remove the debris immediately. The downspout should provide the water runoff with proper direction so that it drains away from your home. Water must be able to move freely through the gutter, the downspout and finally to the ground. If any part of the gutter or downspout becomes clogged, there is a potential for the weight of the water to cause damage.
Typical Gutter Maintenance
Gutters have some occasionally problems, but with good maintenance you should not run into something you can not handle. Here are some common gutter issues you should understand how to handle:
How to Clean your gutters
Now we get to the business end of things. Having found the problem, located its source and fixed any major faults, it is time to maintain those gutters. Really, this boils down to the need to clean them. You can do it yourself, especially if you live in a bungalow and/or you own a ladder and are comfortable working at height. If you do decide to do the work yourself, here are a few handy tips to follow:
- 1. Wear protective gloves. Believe me, when clearing the debris or dirt from your gutter you don't want to do it bare handed.
- 2. Unblock any blockages. If the downpipe is causing problems, borrow a drainage rod to clear it. If the pipe is angled, you could try manipulating a coat hanger or other piece of wire so that you can push the blockage out.
- 3. Replace Brackets. If you have sagging gutters there is a good chance it is because the brackets that hold them in place are either worn or the screws are loose. To fix this, either replace the brackets or tighten the screws until the gutter is level again. Don't make it perfectly level though as the gutter needs to be at a slight angle so that the flow of water runs towards the downpipe.
- 4. Seal cracks. If you find small cracks in your gutters they can normally be repaired using a sealant or other type of strong adhesive. Most local roofing merchants will stock a wide variety that will repair plastic guttering.
- 5. Never over stretch when using a ladder. It might cost you a few minutes but you should always move the base of the ladder to the appropriate position rather than reach out. A few minutes effort is far better than several months in hospital following a fall.
- 6. Be regular. If you can, carry out this maintenance once a year. I would recommend doing it between Autumn and Winter.
- 7. Be prepared. Before you go up a ladder, please visit the HSE website for guidance on ensuring safety whilst working at height.
Gutters filled with leaves and other debris: This happens since leaves and other debris can easily make into the gutter along with the rainwater. To cure this problem you will simply clean out the gutters. You can do this by hand, just pull out the debris. This is important because gutters that are filled with debris can not properly catch and guide the water. It is also important to note that even if you use gutter guards you will still need to clean out your gutters and check them every spring to ensure they are not clogged anywhere.
Heavy wind, large amounts of precipitation and other factors can lead to the gutters coming loose. You should simply screw them back into place. After some time you will find your gutters wear out and holes develop. Most of the time you can simply replace pieces of the gutters if the rest of the gutter is in fine shape.
Gutter Installation in Grenada MS 38901
There is a wide range of options when it comes to gutter installation. The variety of choices allows house owners to make their choice easily. However, while choosing the design the matches the best, one must forget the basic functionalities of a gutter. It is supposed to accumulate rain water and direct it away from the foundation of house. Gutter installation must be performed properly to make sure that they are aligned at the right angle so as to propel water in the desired direction. A properly installed gutter can save your roof, siding, foundation and the fascia. It can also help in ruling out all chances of landscape erosion and flooding of basement.
Basically, gutters come in two broad styles – the K-style and the half-round style. The K-style gutters are the ones that are open rectangle in shape. They are flat in the sides and can be nailed on directly to the fascia plank. The half-round gutters, on the other hand, are the ones that are generally attached to a bracket.
Both K-style and half-round type of gutters come with a wide range of bracket styles – both simple and decorative ones. The common types of materials that are used in manufacture of gutters include copper, wood, vinyl, aluminum, galvanized aluminum, galvanized steel and lead-coated copper.

Discussion in 'January 2008' started by Dlev59, Jan 3, 2008.
You're right. He has to be allowed to fail a little. Throw him into the deep end.
The Boston announcers mentioned that Pierce went 5-16 in the first game when they were talking about how poorly he played in their pre-game ramblings. They also said something like "I doubt he'll do that again." Well, thanks to Prince, Pierce went 5-16 again. Remember that he is their leading scorer, so that is pretty good containment. In fact, their big three were very contained. 12-36 shooting. 18 FTA. 20 rebounds (KG with only 5!). 11 assists. 11 personal fouls. 8 turnovers. I don't think we can do any better than that. Especially when you consider that Chauncey held their starting point guard to 3 points and ZERO assists. Really, our only problem was that Glen Davis got 8 layups with 5 and1's and they made 10 more free throws (despite the fact that we fouled them fewer times). All of the criticism going around about how our offense was stagnant... or course it was. The Celtics are the best defensive team in the league. We got a taste of our own medicine. Did you notice how stagnant their offense was too? I mean both teams made 31 shots. If Davis would have stayed quiet, we would have held them to 26 made shots or so and they would feel violated.
Yeah, the Pistons' problems on offense wouldn't have been decisive if it hadn't been for all those second chance and hustle points the Celtics were getting throughout the game after the first quarter, but it's frustrating because a lot of those should have been preventable. Rondo was indeed shut down, and Pierce had another bad shooting night from the floor, but the Pistons did have a "point guard"-type problem on defense down the stretch in their near-total inability to contain the penetration that resulted in all those layups for Big Baby. Most of that was coming off drives by Pierce.
KGreg, Have to agree with Lpgrl that this happens too often in big games (the last two ECF). Our offense gets jammed up and we miss a ton of jumpers. Agree with you that their main guys were taken care of defensively. Also as Lee mentioned, Garnett was somewhat contained. Dyss has been a nice player but he may be overmatched in what we are asking him to do. And when either Dyss or Sheed get into foul trouble, we are short on the big rotation. Amir would have been a better bet in retrospect but there must be some reason the staff does not trust him. So, I expect a move out of Joe. We need Maxiel playing as a starter because he will get the other teams front line in foul trouble or he will get easy scores. If we make the other team pay attention to him, then the game will open up for us offensively.
Dyess did a pretty good job on KG. The reason you see these offensive struggles in the ECF is that we tend to be matched up against the 2nd or 3rd best defensive team in the league at that stage. We were stagnant because nobody could get open. The players trying to pass the ball were smothered too. But that was exactly what we were doing to them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is no easy answer against defense like that. In fact, we are the best type of team to beat them, because they can't key on our superstars, we take care of the ball, and we spread the floor well with our 3-point shooters. Think about why KG didn't get many defensive rebounds in a game where we missed a ton of shots. He was pulled away from the basket. Glen Davis Maxielled us.
I think some are overreacting. I think emotions got Dice out of the game and hurt the Pistons more than their bad execution at times. The Pistons were manhandled on the boards and took some horrible shots, but they barely lost.
After a night of watching the game twice and sleeping on it, I have had a chance to calm down somewhat and say lets move on to the next game. This game meant more to the Celtics than the Pistons, but now the Pistons should still take tomorrow to review the tape and their defiencies before they head to Texas. They can still win 55+ games and grab at least the # 2 seed, but like all years they have to adjust or prepare to get to the finals. In years past the question was did we have a body to stop Shaq.... Now it's what do we need to stop Garnett or Baby or Pierce...better yet who will be our stopper in the middle to help Sheed and Max? Certainly can't rely on Tay, Dice or Primo. (or C-Webb) At this point we know AJ is not the answer, but when will Flip give him the minutes in non-garbage time to get better?? If we are deep, play everybody!! Those who think we will get better have a point, but guess what folks: so will the Celtic role players....because Doc has to play them. No need for a knee jerk reaction now as we have the second best defense, but when your chief rival has the #1 defense in 4 key categories, you need to be able to counter it for that ultimate meeting in May. In other words, it is time for Joe to start reviewing the rosters of the non-contenders to find that extra defensive stopper (who can also score in the paint a little and grab some boards) and deal Jr, Primo or Fabio.
Dyess did a pretty good job on KG? Please tell me what play you are talking about. I will be glad to go review it. I've watched the game twice now, and I sure did not catch any good defense from Dyess on KG.
With Flip's offensive mind/genius/playbook, this should not be an issue. As far as I can see, Flip has no offensive ingenuity, unless you count repeatedly hoisting up 25-foot J's. I didn't expect a Pistons win last night so I'm not bothered by any of it, but this Boston team will give Detroit fits come playoff time. I see a Game 7 at the Fleet in Detroit's not-so-distant future.
Sounds like you want to get Artest. I'm all for it. $7.8M Artest (1.9M) Murray (2.7M) Bresec (1.9M) Herrmann (1.2M) Hayes They would get a bunch of depth at different positions. They are all expiring contracts. And they get Artest out of there. We'd have: Billups/ Stuckey/ Hunter Rip/ Afflalo/ ACKER Prince/ Artest/ MEJIA Dyess/ Maxiell/ RODNEY WHITE Sheed/ Johnson/ Samb The zoo crew would be complete. The only downside is that we would have to go crawling back to all those guys we cut so that we could have some guys to fill the suits.
I'm mainly satisfied with the way that he helped limit KG to 3 rebounds in the 2nd half. Even on a few of Garnett's makes, he made it really tough for him. Also, the some of the plays where Dice got the fouls were pretty good. Dyess's D was not good when he was off KG. Maybe he was too concerned about helping to stay on his own man.
I have seen it twice too and IMHO both Dyess and Hayes were repeatedly a half step slow on the defensive end. The only defense that contained KG was his emotions and him being in foul trouble on the bench. He may not have scored a ton of points, but his leadership while he was on the floor was enough to have a few Piston players over play him and leave others open.
Gazzoo, Agree. The loss isn't the thing. It is the pattern of the loss. We have seen this before. Dice may not have been helped by the refs on Garnett, but he is a bit undersized and not as quick as needed for what we are asking him to do. Plus, he is playing too many minutes. Dice has played admirably and has looked better than Webber of last year overall in the starter role. But we didn't win it with Webber. Maxiel should now start. Maxiel will put a lot of pressure on their starters from the get go. Do you risk a foul early or let Maxiel get an easy score? I see Maxi as an early option and a way of taking pressure off of our guards.
AJ should have played last night, especially in the 4th quarter.
Seems to me you said "AJ isn't ready yet" on another thread.
Figure it out. We were winning handily - 2nd best record in the league We had beaten Boston in Boston Keep AJ on the bench working hard in practice and getting garbage time since it appeared that we didn't need him to beat Boston. No reason to rush him. Now We have proven that we are not the best team in the East and will most likely have a difficult time of beating Boston in the playoffs. We are so far ahead of Orlando that unless we have a major injury and even then 2nd seed is a lock either up or down from there. Play AJ and give him the experience. He won't hurt us enough to make us worse than Orlando He may make us better enough to beat Boston Got to be flexible in life and in your thinking. New facts, old decisions need to be reviewed and revised if beneficial to do so. Playing AJ now is a total no risk situation We may not beat Boston with him but based on the Cavs series and yesterday we aren't going to beat Boston in the playoffs without him Get flexible, Get Real Play AJ Now. We
Are you sure? There is one more game to play between these two teams before the playoffs. Let`s see which way the wind blows for ya then........
Absolutely I had about 20 hours to think about it since our loss last night. That was enough time. It won't happen though, at least not right away. It will be interesting to see if AJ gets any burn in TX, win or lose.
It should be mandatory that he get some burn in Texas whether we are ahead or behind. If you are going to just give him Darko minutes, then just leave him at home with Hunter. I am tired of this he is not ready yet. All you can learn in garbage time is how to fight for a chance to shoot when you are playing against other scrubs fighting for a chance to impress the coach. He has got to play with a teacher/mentor/vet on the floor in real time vs all-pros and not all-crubs!!
I agree. If rookie, Baby Shaq can light up our defense for 16 in the 4th quarter, we need to look elsewhere than what we had on the floor last night. AJ is the most likely candidate.

Congrats! Any pics?
Well this year as a rough year but I was again able to get an Elk bow hunting this year. After about a nine day grind I finally got lucky!
Congrats! Any pics?
Good man pat. Best meat I ever ate was elk. Put some picts up please.
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
I have one or two but I think the second one didd't turn out. I got her just before dark and didn't have my camera so I took the picture when I got back about 10:30pm when I started dragging her out. I finished about 3am. I will get the picture posted as soon as I unpack my trailer and find the camera! ;-) I was alone as all my friends had given up that morning so there is no special pose ;-)
Congrats! My buddies and I went out to the Bitterroot mountain range in 93 bow hunting elk. I think bow hunting elk makes bow hunting deer look easy.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Can you take more this year? I stoped by my old employers to see my buddy.He just got a deer for Ky bow season.He goes back for blackpowder and rifle season too.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Thanks guys... You can only get more if you win one of the raffle tickets they have for Elk.
Moleman the bitter roots are a great place I have heard. I really like Montana. Lets just say that I am 100% on deer with a bo I have never not gotten my deer but I am currently about 60% on Elk for the last 5 years. I can usually get my deer in a weekend but this elk took me 9 days and it was 7 days last year before I got an Elk. Now let me tell you I am not a trophy hunter I am in it purely for the meet so I am looking for decent sized Elk and Deer so I don't pass up much on deer and almost never pass something for Elk.
still looking for the camera...
Agree with moleman. Good hunting and good shooting! It takes a special dedication to harvest elk with a bow.
Meat-hunter here, too. Young, mature (around 2 y/o) buck or fat barren doe. The best steaks, better than prime beef as far as I'm concerned.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."

The basic process for using wireless in Linux is:
- Ensure a driver for your card is loaded.
- Configure the card at the wireless access level, this means setting the details of the specific wireless access point and encryption type (e.g. WEP, WPA).
- Configure the card to use TCP/IP, assigning an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS servers, etc.
For the driver: These are normally implemented as modules loaded into the kernel. Use tools such as lshw, lspci and lsusb to view installed hardware so you know what type of device you have. Using the correct comand line options these will also show drivers (kernel modules) associated with each piece of hardware - if the driver is loaded. Tools like lsmod, insmod, rmmod and modprobe are used to actually manage kernel modules (list loaded modules, add modules, remove them, etc), and there are also a number of configuration files like those in /etc/modprobe.d/ which are used to configure those modules. Thats the background info you need to know.
Regards actually getting the driver loaded (or confirming whether its already loaded), your best bet here is to find what type of card you have via lshw, lspci or lsusb, then Google it to find out more about its Linux driver. If its not already installed and loaded (hint: knowing the module name will help you check) then you need to find out how to get it and install it. If a supported driver exists for your card, Google should be able to help you find out how to install it.
For the layer two and three configuration steps, either use wicd or this or purehates guide in the HowTo section.

Tech Populism is a major force that's changing the way we work. Behind the walls of SMBs and enterprises are empowered employees who increasingly make individual choices about the technologies that they use to get their jobs done. With the growing ubiquity of technology in the workplace (smartphones, other mobile devices, and PCs) individual workers are often making decisions for themselves. The opportunity for tech strategists lies in addressing portfolio strategy as well as go-to-market strategy to address this rising tide of new buyers.
To explore Tech Populism, Forrester is currently designing its upcoming Workforce Forrsights Survey to be fielded to 5,000 employees in the US, Canada, France, the UK, and Germany who work at businesses across a range of industries and company sizes. Our target respondents use a smartphone or computer at least 1 hour per day at work.

'Ruff told The Howard Simon Show this morning that the ownership situation does not effect his job at all. He reiterated that to the media after practice.

Players Not Worried About Ownership Situation
Sabres scrimmage on Tuesday
'"I wanted to use this scrimmage, the 30 minutes, for our video session tomorrow, trying to find just a couple more plays here or there where we can loosen up on the offensive side," Ruff said. "We put some lines together that we're hoping may look good offensively. We may try a different combination tomorrow."'
Hockey Writer Jim Kelley Dies
'Longtime Buffalo hockey writer Jim Kelley died Tuesday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Kelley, a professional sports news columnist whose 30-year career has focused primarily on the Buffalo Sabres and the NHL, was set to be inducted into the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame this season.'
Sabres Sale?
'It's would be impossible to understate Tom Golisano's role in saving the franchise and keeping it in Western New York. The Sabres are stable and on solid financial ground. Having said that, his interests aren't long term and he's not a hockey guy.'
Buffalo owner Quinn denies offer has been made
'"The report that a $150 million letter of intent has been signed is simply not true."'
Statement from Larry Quinn
'"Reports regarding the sale of the Buffalo Sabres tend to surface from time to time. There have been several inquiries in the past few years regarding this subject. Our company policy is we do not comment on them because people make inquiries all the time. Some of these inquiries are serious, some are not, some make the media and others do not. The report that a $150 million letter of intent has been signed is simply not true."'
Sabres not ruling out potential sale
'Quinn would only call Terry Pegula "a great guy," noting the two first met when Quinn previously worked for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Quinn spoke by phone to The Associated Press on Tuesday, after The Buffalo News cited unnamed sources in reporting that Pegula has emerged as a serious candidate to buy the Sabres.'
Report: Pegula intends to buy Sabres for $150 million
Pegula recently donated $88 million to start a Division-I hockey program and build new facilities at Penn State University. He is the founder and CEO of East Resources. He was ranked No. 110 on the latest Forbes 400, and his wife hails from Western New York.
Terry Pegula signs leter of intent to buy Buffalo Sabres for $150 million
'THN.com has learned that billionaire Terry Pegula has signed a letter of intent to buy the Buffalo Sabres from Tom Golisano for about $150 million.'
Sabres are a topic of speculation
'"This isn't in reference to Terry or anybody else, but we get inquiries on the team — a number per year — and someday one of these rumors is going to be true," Quinn said. "So far, the last four or five years it hasn't. We've just adopted a policy where we don't comment. It has nothing to do with Terry. It's just a uniform policy."'
Hecht among Sabres looking for their finishing touches

Sabres' offensive woes continue in loss
'"We got a lot of pucks to the net," said Derek Roy, one of five Sabres to get at least four shots. "We were crashing the crease and pucks were laying there and we just needed somebody to poke at it."'
Lull in schedule coming after busy month
'"On an injury front, it will give us some time to catch up there," coach Lindy Ruff said. "On the team front, you saw at the end of our seven [games] in 11 [days], the energy level started to go down. Even with a few days, you get the energy back with your team. You work really hard at your system, try to clean up different part of your game. We've got extra time to work on a lot of things."'

Greeting everybody,
As per to the instructions from the blog
Updating BackTrack to 2.6.34
first command worked fine with mehowever at second commandCode:apt-get updateI choosed Y to upgrade but it cause the following:Code:apt-get dist-upgade
Blue Screen appears: Package Configuration, Configuring Linux-image-2.6.34 with the following note:
Please adviceCode:You are attempting to install a kernel image (version 2.6.34) However, the directory /lib/modules/2.6.34/kernel still exists. If this directory belongs to a previous linux-image-2.6.34 package, and if you have deselected some modules, or installed standalone modules packages, this could be bad. If /lib/modules/2.6.34/kernel belongs to a old install of linux-image-2.6.34, then this is your last chance to abort the installation of this kernel image (nothing has been changed yet). If you know what you are doing, and if you feel that this image should be installed despite this anomaly, Please answer n to the question. Otherwise, I suggest you move /lib/modules/2.6.34/kernel out of the way, perhaps to /lib/modules/2.6.34.kernel.old or something, and then try re-installing this image.

'Since the departure of Jay McKee, the team has lacked a strong stay-at-home defenseman. T.J. Brennan is coming along, but is unlikely to crack Buffalo's top six next season. Most of the prospects on defense are offensive-minded, so bringing at least one tough blueliner into the fold would bring balance.'
