We can use your help guys. Anyone that buys a $100 raffle ticket will also get a support sticker to display on your rig or boat. That will go a long way with the locals. If you hunt the area, you know the basin is in desperate need.
Guys, if any of you want to help. It's appreciated, we need to raise some money to get this completed. This really is the only decent ramp on the whole river. Our cabin is one mile down from this picture. We're trying to mobilize DU and other groups. At last count, we've raised about 20-25k in the past week. Donors that purchase at least $100 raffle ticket will get a support sticker for their vehicle/boat
The State of SD Parks Dept. is doing a great job, but it doesn't get the job quite down to get the basin back to full use.
This is one of the better known waterfowl spots in the midwest and this will help restore the best access there is.

SPRINGFIELD — For Bon Homme Bass League members, the clock is ticking.
The members, who come from Tyndall, Scotland and Springfield bass clubs, are seeking to raise between $50,000 and $100,000 this month. They want the additional money to expand a state Department of Game, Fish and Parks (GF&P) dredging operation under way at the Springfield boat basin and marina.
The dredging work desperately needs to be done, said Springfield Bass Club president Tim Peterson.
"The marina used to be 10 feet deep. Now, there's a foot of water in there, and you can't get a boat in and out," he said. "This is a separate problem than the sedimentation issue (with the Niobrara River). This is coming in from the upper drainage to the Springfield area. This dredging project is addressing part of the issue."
Bon Homme Bass League members are excited to see the GF&P dredging, Peterson said. However, the area sportsmen don't think the state's project will make the basin and marina as functional as needed.
"We are so grateful to get as much done as we are with Game, Fish and Parks. (Regional Park Supervisor) Jeff VanMeeteren has been great to work with," Peterson said. "Now, we are trying to take this one step further."
Even with the GF&P dredging, some of the Springfield boat basin and marina facilities may remain unusable, Peterson said.
"Without the extra dredging (that we seek), it's doubtful that we could use the handicapped boat ramp," he said. "There just isn't enough water."
The GF&P has secured $159,000 for its dredging project, according to Shane Bertsch, district park supervisor for the Lewis and Clark Lake Area.
"The contractor, Dakota Dredging, plans to start mobilizing equipment this Saturday and will start dredging sometime next week," he said. "They expect the project to take three to four weeks."
Bertsch outlined the extent of the dredging operations.
"The area to be dredged will extend from the boat ramp inside the Springfield boat basin to outside of the mouth of the river channel," he said. "The dredging area measures 125 feet wide, from the boat ramp through the mouth of Springfield Bay."
Plans have been made for relocating the deposits, Bertsch said.
"The material to be dredged — the spoils — will be pumped to an island southeast of the mouth of the bay," he said. "There will be a barge located outside of the mouth of the bay which will hold the pipe underwater so boats can pass above the pipe."
Area sportsmen want to take advantage of the Dakota Dredging crew already in place for the GF&P project, Peterson said. The crew has agreed to work with the area sportsmen as much as possible, he said.
"We couldn't afford to get (the dredging crew) back on our own. You would have the cost of set-up and tear down, plus all the permits and red tape," he said.
"We think it would take another week or 10 days to finish what we are asking (for dredging). If they could do it, that would be fantastic."
To fund the additional dredging, the groups need to raise $50,000 to $100,000 within the next month, Peterson said.
"We already have gotten donations in the $15,000 to $20,000 range, so $50,000 isn't out of reach," he said. "If we have to borrow money to get it done, we can raise funds later."
The GF&P asked the outside groups to wait with fundraising, Peterson said. "We were asked to hold out until the bid letting, and we completely understood," he said.
Unfortunately, the GF&P process took longer than expected, Peterson said.
"As far as the time frame (for fundraising), we knew it was going to be tough," he said. "It was short, but we didn't realize how short."
The Bon Homme Bass League's fundraising efforts have taken on a sense of urgency, he said. Members have sent out fundraising letters and are conducting a raffle. They are also seeking the assistance of local, regional and state conservation groups and other organizations.
The current GF&P dredging operation, and the local effort to extend the contract, may provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Peterson said.
"Nothing has been done for over 40 years to the marina," he said. "It was a matter of (the ravages of) time, and with the river conditions and the flooding considerations (from 2011), it all just took its toll. The issue has just gotten worse and worse. It has gotten to the point where we aren't using facilities anymore."
As president of the Bon Homme Tourism Association, Peterson sees the Springfield boat basin and marina as crucial for regional tourism and economic development. He noted the region's outstanding reputation for fishing and hunting.
"We're not just promoting Springfield or even Bon Homme County," he said. "We get people who come from all over to use our facility. This brings in people, and people come with money."
The lack of available facilities has already cost Springfield a state event, Peterson said.
"Springfield has always hosted the state bass tournament at Lewis and Clark Lake, but not anymore," he said. "With our ramp conditions, they moved (the tournament) to Yankton."
Peterson pointed to nearby sites that still attracted large crowds during Labor Day weekend. "People like to come here for fishing. They come to Springfield because we have got largemouth bass habitat," he said.
The area sportsmen are providing more than monetary support for the dredging project, Peterson said.
"We started doing preliminary stuff, like removing cattails to help with the dredging issue," he said. "We will try to do as much as we can for (the dredging crew). We'll volunteer some equipment, or we'll unload equipment. There might be some (donated) meals and lodging — anything we can do to help them out."
In conducting the preliminary work, area sportsmen were excited to see the rapid progress, Peterson said. They hope the rest of the dredging project goes as smoothly.
"We were taking cattails out of the lake like it was with a butter scoop," he said. "We hope (the mud) comes out like peanut butter."
The dredging project provides a crucial — and hopefully just the first — step in revitalizing the Springfield boat basin and marina, Peterson said.
"Right now, we are working on getting the dredging done," he said. "It's part of our long-term project."
But first, Bon Homme Bass League members are focusing on the fundraising goal, Peterson said. The deadline may be arriving much sooner than expected, but he predicted the members' unified effort will prove successful.
"We all work together. It's always been that way," he said.
Donations can be sent to the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, Box 329, Springfield SD 57062.

text: Posted November 7, 2012 (Reuters) - Colorado and Washington became the first U.S. states to legalize the possession and sale of marijuana for recreational use on Tuesday in defiance of federal law, setting the stage for a possible showdown with the Obama administration. But another ballot measure to remove criminal penalties for personal possession and cultivation of recreational cannabis was defeated in Oregon, where significantly less money and campaign organization was devoted to the cause. Supporters of a Colorado constitutional amendment legalizing marijuana were the first to declare victory, and opponents conceded defeat, after returns showed the measure garnering nearly 53 percent of the vote versus 47 percent against. "Colorado will no longer have laws that steer people toward using alcohol, and adults will be free to use marijuana instead if that is what they prefer. And we will be better off as a society because of it," said Mason Tvert, co-director of the Colorado pro-legalization campaign. The Drug Policy Alliance, a national advocacy group that backed the initiatives, said the outcome in Washington and Colorado reflected growing national support for liberalized pot laws, citing a Gallup poll last year that found 50 percent of Americans favored making it legal, versus 46 opposed. Supporters of Washington state's pot legalization initiative declared victory after the Seattle Times and other media projected a win for marijuana proponents. Early returns showed pro-legalization votes led with 55 percent versus to 44 percent opposed with about 60 percent of ballots tallied in the state's all-mail-in election system. The outcomes in Colorado and Washington, which already have laws on the books legalizing marijuana for medical purposes, put both states in further conflict with the federal government, which classifies cannabis as an illegal narcotic. The U.S. Department of Justice reacted to the measure's passage in Colorado by saying its enforcement policies remain unchanged, adding: "We are reviewing the ballot initiative and have no additional comment at this time." http://www.reuters.c...E8A602D20121107 Eat a fuging dick War on Drugs. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Excellent service! These Chalkboard Invites have had rave reviews from everyone we sent one to!!! They we're a pleasure to send out such a quality product. Thank-you!"
"I received my cards on time and they were accurate. Tiny prints always makes a "big impression." I use them so often for so many occasions that people have come to expect something exceptional from me. Indeed these cards make a lasting impression. I would highly recommend the product. I should have chosen a paper with shine. It would have made it pop even more."
"The paper colors and print were great. I actually used it for a sweet 16 party. My niece's theme was a mardi gras masquerade, so the design fit perfectly."
"I used this as my wedding announcement/invitation to our reception held at an art museum & received rave reviews! I love the lower case text & easy personalization. I added a picture of us on the back (which people loved) along with registry info. So many compliments!"
"I am very pleased with this invitation. I chose the blue backround and added a photo on the reverse. The RSVP cards had special instructions which were followed and those also came out well. Although, this invitation is listed as a corporate event invitation, I used it for a personal party invitation. What I am not pleased with is the print on the return envelopes. The ink is clear but the print is weak and looks cheap. I feel a bolder print would look better as well as nicer lettering style."

My brother in-law and my self are headed to SW LA for a wedding and we are going to hunt the Sabine NWR while we are down there. Gonna bring a small boat to paddle and push around out there. We only have an opportunity to check out the area from the road cause scouting stops in OCT. Has anyone every hunted out there and if so what is the terrain like, deep water or shallow just about every where. From google map it looks like its pretty shallow everywhere. Im not asking about birds or anything like that, I just wanna know if we can wade or are we gonna be stuck in the boat. Thanks.
Next question, we only have teal and ringer decoys will that work for us or do I need to invest in some wideion or shoveler decoys.


text: Tay and the boys have been sinking coaches since Rick Carlisle. It's been horrible to watch. They basically bought into LB for half a season, and Flip for a season in the last 8 years. I am not saying Frank is a good coach, but the Pistons throwing their coach under the bus when they didn't get the job done on the court is nothing new.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on QPR in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were presenter Dan Roebuck and Daniel Cowan of North London Is Red.
Read on for their verdict on the QPR game.
After losing two in a row, it was imperative for Arsenal to get back to winning ways and Arsène Wenger will be delighted they did that. QPR didn't play badly and with Julio Cesar seemingly unbeatable, it looked like being one of those days. It says a lot about the character of the team that they kept going and found the breakthrough late on. The victory will boost confidence levels ahead of the game against Manchester United on Saturday.
The biggest positive for Arsenal was the return of Jack Wilshere. He was impressive in the first half, but will need more games before he can regain full match sharpness. Bacary Sagna also made his comeback and looked like he had never been away. It was tense and tight and times, but this was a much-needed three points for the Gunners.
I don't think any of us expected Arsenal to suffer back-to-back defeats on the strength of their performance at West Ham - and they need to find that Upton Park level again soon. Norwich was a real disappointment, I kept expecting them to raise the tempo but it just didn't happen. As a result a solid start to the season suddenly looks far less convincing but that can change quickly with a couple of good results.
QPR are difficult to predict because they have lots of decent players but Mark Hughes hasn't got the best out of them yet. The likes of Junior Hoilett can cause problems on the counter-attack while Bobby Zamora has a good record against Arsenal. Hopefully Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will return - we need his spark and pace in the side after two flat performances. I'm confident Arsenal can turn it around, I reckon they'll win 2-0. Fingers crossed.
As predicted it was a reasonably scrappy match that neither team really dominated, but I'm happy we got the clean sheet I thought would elude us. It wasn't a great performance but a win is a win and hopefully these precious three points will inject some confidence back into the side.
Santi Cazorla was restricted once again and I fear that we rely too heavily on him for creativity. Teams seem to think that to stop Arsenal, you need to stop Cazorla and in the last few matches it has worked - so maybe there's something in that. QPR were unremarkable in both defence and attack and maybe Arsenal's mostly pedestrian performance masked the frailties that other teams have exposed so easily this term. Julio Cesar in the QPR goal put in an excellent performance, and without him we could have won by four or five goals.
The introduction of Theo Walcott seemed to stretch the QPR defence and gave us some much-needed pace which, with the sending off of Stephane M'Bia, changed the game. QPR gained a little confidence towards the end and we had a few tense moments at 1-0. We need to be much better than we were today when we go to Old Trafford this weekend, but maybe the presence of a certain Dutchman will give us all the incentive we need.
When the fixture calendar was released this match probably wasn't seen as a crucial match but it is now. With QPR propping the rest of the table up and Arsenal 10 points off Chelsea this is a must-win match for both sides. After watching Norwich beat us last week QPR be under pressure to do the same and I expect them to start pressing us as soon as the match kicks off. The last few matches for Arsenal have been disappointing and I believe this has been due to the loss of Diaby. We've failed to emulate his presence with replacements in this formation so maybe a slight change in formation will help until he returns.
Arsenal seem to be a little short on creativity at the moment, and finishing ability when we do create a chance. Gervinho started the season well as a false nine but has dropped his level so a little more faith in Giroud up front may be required, especially against the physical tactics Hughes likes to deploy against us. Arsenal have never found it easy to play a Hughes team and I think we may be in for a tight and scrappy match. I like the idea of a clean sheet win but I think we'll have to settle for leaving it late with a 2-1 win.

Sunni Islam's highest religious authority has made clear a Muslim woman has the right to defend herself against an abusive husband. If a husband uses physical violence against his wife, "a wife has the legitimate right to hit her husband in order to defend herself," said Sheikh Abdel Hamid al-Arash, who heads Al Azhar's committee for fatwas(religious rulings). The religious leader made clear that "everyone has a right to defend themselves, whether they be man or woman." Prominent Turkish Muslim preacher and writer, Fethullh Gulen, went a step further and urged women to repay violence with interest. "She should give back two blows for each one received."
Now that clerics have determined women have a right to fight back, will they grant women in Saudi Arabia the right to drive a car? Surely, if a woman can punch a man in the face, she must be qualified to drive a car!

For MBA students looking forward to potential career prospects, personal and professional advice from experts who have spent years working in the business world can grant confidence and help make the decision-making process easier. But is difficult to come by. That is why the University of St. Thomas Center for Business Ethics launched the CBE Emerging Leader Coaching Scholarship Program in 2012.
Select Master of Business Administration students have the opportunity to receive one-on-one career and leadership development coaching sessions from Dr. Annete Spychalski, business coach and consultant, for the academic year.
Matthew Bain, Daniela Cooz, Carmen Gonzalez, Natalia Regan and Karmen Rouhana were selected as the recipients of this year's scholarship. The students engage in one-on-one coaching with Dr. Spychalski whose individual attention to each student results in helping them develop a stronger skill set. By offering an objective environment and a structured focus tailored to their goals, the coaching process gives them a specific plan of action and skill-building strategies.
"The intention is to offer a resource that can be tailored to students' unique situation in a way that allows them to make more rapid progress toward their professional goals and aspirations," Spychalski said. "The focus is on using a structured method to bridge scholastic experience with professional achievements that are satisfying and meaningful over the long term."
Dr. Michelle Simms, professor of management, seeks ways to invest in the future by developing today's student leaders. The coaching scholarship presents a unique opportunity to recognize and giveback to those students with proven commitment to academic excellence and leadership in our MBA Program.
"I am truly fortunate to have been a student of Dr. Simms in our Business Ethics class this past spring," Bain said. "Not only was her class spectacular, but this was also when she told me about the coaching opportunity. I am honored to be a part of such a prestigious program, and I owe all my thanks to Dr. Simms. She is a professor that sincerely cares about her students and the institution of University of St. Thomas."
Meet the scholarship winners: Matthew Bain, who has been working on the natural gas trade floor at Occidental Petroleum for five and a half years, is working on an MBA with a concentration in finance. Bain has been meeting with Dr. Spychalski to determine how his skill-set and personality type can be used to succeed personally and professionally.
"This coaching experience has already given me insight on my professional and personal attributes that I wasn't even aware of," Bain said. "Dr. Spychalski has given me the knowledge and tools to improve up on my skills that are areas for development and capitalize on opportunities where my skill-set is already established. These tools will be valuable throughout my entire career, not just at the moment, so I look forward to continuing this education in the months to come." Daniela Cooz loves numbers and finance. After working at Memorial Hermann, Cooz is now a full-time student planning to use her MBA to become a purchasing agent or financial analyst. Cooz, who is the graduate assistant for the Center of Business Ethics, has taken the coaching scholarship as an opportunity to learn about herself.
"Dr. Spychalski encourages you to do a lot of research and go farther," Cooz said. "She pushes you because she believes in what you have to offer. Some of her suggestions have caused me to think about options and career paths I had not considered in the past." Carmen Gonzalez is pursuing an MBA with a concentration in Marketing in addition to degrees in studio arts and communications. A full-time student, Gonzalez also works full-time at UST as an academic advisor. Gonzalez is working towards a career in marketing as a creative director.
"Dr. Spychalski puts into perspective what is important for you, what is not important and teaches you how to say no because it is very easy to overwhelm yourself with different projects," Gonzalez said. "When considering a future in industry, she advises that I continue the things that are important to me and let go of the other things." Natalia Regan moved to the United States before beginning her MBA with a general business concentration. As a student, Bregin secured an internship at Morgan Stanley. Having graduated in 2013, she now works as a business development manager for Integrated Consulting. Regan's passion lies in cultural diversity, specifically in understanding cultural differences in management style.
"The coaching opportunity was valuable because I had never worked in the United States before," Regan said. "It helped me transition smoothly into a different culture and work style because it is very different from European work and leadership styles." Karmen Rouhana is already following her career path; she works in asset management for JPMorgan Chase. With a concentration in international business, Rouhana will use her MBA to advance her career in the asset management business.
"All of the tests I took affirmed what I was pursuing," Rouhana said. "Coaching is not only for someone looking for an opportunity, but for someone looking to develop a career that they are in. I was able to learn a lot about myself and the direction that I will be taking in my career."
All MBA/MSA students interested in learning more about the Emerging Leader Coaching Scholarship Program can contact Dr. Michelle Simms at email@example.com or call 713-942-5918.

James Wins First Ever Title for Delaware, Prettyman Second in Mile for Blue Hens at ECAC Indoor Track & Field Championships

James was one of six Blue Hens who competed during the final day of the meet Sunday and one of two to earn All-East honors as senior Lindsay Prettyman (at left) placed second overall in the mile with a school-record time. Also for the Blue Hens, the UD distance medley relay team posted a 10th place overall finish.
Delaware collected 18 total points during the three-day, season-ending meet to tie Yale for 16th place in the team standings, marking the second best finish in school history. Last year's squad placed 14th overall for the best finish in UD history. Connecticut won the team title for the second straight year.
"Everyone had a peak performance this weekend," said head coach Wendy McFarlane. "The ladies stuck with the plan and executed their races very well. This weekend gives us big momentum heading into the outdoor season. The girls did a great job competing and working with each other."
James, a junior from Kingston, Jamaica (Convent of Mercy Academy), had finished second in the preliminaries on Saturday but she went one better on Sunday as she ran to a time of 8.56 to win the race, outdistancing runner-up Michelle Anthony of Albany (8.59) and Chatal Scott of Connecticut (8.66). James earned All-East honors for the second straight year after placing second a year ago.
Prettyman closed out a record-setting senior campaign Sunday as she placed second in the mile run with a time of 4:45.55, breaking her own school record set earlier this season. Prettyman, an Academic All-American candidate, finished less than a second behind champion Katie Harman of James Madison, who finished in a time of 4:44.86.
Prettyman earned All-East honors for the second straight year as she also placed second in the ECAC 1,000 meters in 2013.
Also on Sunday, Delaware's distance medley relay team of Betsy Erlanger, Tyler Jackson, Alexandra Carroll, and Emily Gispert recorded a season-best time of 11:52.57 to finish in 10th place.

"We used these for my sons classroom valentines, he Loves dinosaurs and isn't really into Valentines day until he saw all the candy - I stuck them on a bag of heart candies instead of attaching a valentine card and it was so much easier! No tape, no signing his name, and so him! Loved these!"

Valentine's Day buying guide!
February 8th, 20130
It's a busy time of year in store for our fitters but Maire, from Solihull has some hints on tips on getting (or giving!) that perfect gift for Valentine's Day!
It's that time of year again where our partners, fiancés, husbands and boyfriends are trying to find us the perfect gift for Valentine's. How often have we all opened a beautiful lingerie set on St. Valentine's Day and it's been the wrong size? I thought it was about time we gave that special someone in our lives a few tips to help them picking out the perfect set this year.
Now we all know that sometimes our loved ones need some hefty hints on what to buy us so how about printing this out and leaving it somewhere they're likely to find it to make sure you get what you want on Valentine's Day?
This is very important and I would say is the area that's the easiest to fail at. How about taking a look in your other half's lingerie draw when she isn't looking, this will help you in two ways. Firstly it will help you determine the size you need to buy and secondly whether she wears the same size in each type of bra.
When routing through your other half's lingerie draw take note of what styles she likes to wear. Does she like to wear Basques or bras? Are they moulded or non-moulded? Are they sexy or delicate? Take note of what you find – you may want to play it safe and buy things similar to what she has or you might want to take a chance with something a little bit different.
You might also want to consider colour. Some women might tend to stick with more practical colours like black or white, but others might like a splash of colour. Again you might want to play it safe with her favourite colour or be daring and buy a colour she doesn't already have.
Some women always wear matching sets and others don't but for a present I'd always go matching – that's what makes the present special and thoughtful. Make sure you take note of what size the lady in your life wears to ensure you buy the right size in the bottoms. It's also important to think about what style of bottoms she prefers and feels comfortable in- a thong, short, or brief?
Wrapping is essential, and all our stores offer a gift wrapping service which starts from £2.95, so no excuses for those of you who hate wrapping presents!
Gift Vouchers
If you're really struggling to get her something she's going to love, always remember you can get a gift voucher, which means your partner can come in and choose what she would like at a time which is convenient for her. If you would like we can also book her in for a fitting at any of our stores to help her choose what to spend her voucher on.
Finally always remember it's the thought that counts, and have a lovely Valentine's Day!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Joy Henderson Pulling Harness
Looks like this may be the harness in question... Nothing on the protocol though.
|* I should clarify our daily route is 2 miles to the top of the saddle, so four miles round-trip.
I'm going to add my .02, as I'm sure Blitzkrieg will hang on my every word.
You can diss backpacking all you want but I have hiked my dog on a regular (4-5 times a week) basis since October of the year he was born (he was born in June). Many different mileage routes, but I am lucky to live in a small mountain range and there is a great little route right behind my house that is 2 miles and 1200' of elevation gain that is really a 'daily' thing for us. I put his pack on his second fall, and I usually fill it with about 5-7lbs for these, but even without that, navigating the rocks, climbing, short bursts of sprinting (game, which now we use as training and fun) muscled him unbelievably. His vets, his breeder, the people who work at the local pet store where I get his food (there are several hunting dog owners who compete in field trials on a regular basis, and they always comment on how nice it is to see a dog, particularly a GSD that is so muscled), everyone who pets him is always like "Wow! He's got some serious muscle under there".
I haven't ever put him in a ring so I don't know about his endurance there, but his general endurance is great. He can hike 10-12 miles in 90 degree weather without blinking an eye, and still be up for romping around camp-- he acts like he barely went around the block (he packs more weight on actual backpacks-- and these aren't 10 mile walks around the block, either). On one hike, a ten miler with 4,000' of gain in the first 6 miles, we banked on some creeks still being available to refill our water bottles, as we only took 4 liters with us. The highs that day down in the nearest town were listed at 92, hiking on the switchbacks in the alpine zone in the sun felt the same. No creeks, it was mid-July and they were gone already. The dog only got a liter, and did fine. My husband, on the other hand had to have two liters because he was cramping up in the quads.
He runs 8-9 milers with me about 4 times a week, and we've had a summer that was very hot--we had three days in July below 90, and August was pretty nice too. He can swim like nobody's business. And don't even get me started on his endurance in the cold. 10 degree days are his favorite. FTR, post-holing in the snow for a dog builds great endurance and muscle.
He isn't always jumping up and down from rocks, either. He climbs a lot. My running race times have improved greatly since I started hiking with him on a regular basis, and I am glad I started hiking him young. I think it really helped his muscle development, plus it helps him retain the muscle he could lose running those distances. If he wasn't a lc I'd post a pic of him.
Of course, if you live in flat land, then I don't know.
I live in East Texas and we just don't do a lot in the summer. The humidity combined with the heat is hard on a dog that lives inside. I can't acclimate him as I don't have a secure place at the moment that I would trust to leave him for extended periods of time outside, so we just play for shorter periods of time (20-30 minutes) and then he comes inside to cool off. It takes a lonnnng time to cool off.
He would definitely benefit from acclimation to the temperature. I think your dog probably would too, moreso even than extra conditioning.
I have a game dog. Game dogs don't just fight other dogs. I have to make sure he remains in top condition. I do leave him outside during the day to help him acclimate to the heat. I make sure that his exercise does not include a lot of repetitive movements - like running in a circle or a lot of quick jerky movements on his legs.
To build drive, endurance and still remain relatively cool, we have a remote control boat that we use in the pond. He'll chase it until the battery goes dead.
I do a LOT of free running. We go to Agility classes. I work him in a controlled bay pen.
I have seen some folks utilize chain to help build muscle. It is along the same line as weight pulling. The dog drags large linked chain. I don't do it. My thought is if I want my dog to be in his best physical condition, I need to get off my butt and work him.
|The weight drag I have seen is done at a walk. You might be able to use an agitation harness for lighter weights. They are designed though for a different back tension than dragging a weight. They are designed for use with the ring on the back where as pulling harnesses are designed for weights from behind and lower. Make sense?

I have watched Ivans vid, I think that is a method you have to be careful with when it comes to certain dogs. To much and you might end up with a very flat dog.
I have personally done this with certain elements of the OB, rewarding with a thrown ball some tug, then making the dog miss then back to OB. Rinse and repeat.
I also usually throw OB into everything to do with toys from Frisbee to two ball and mix it into the play.
I definitely believe that this helps conditioning but you cant really go beyond 10 mins before things start getting too sloppy.
Good feed back.
@ Ayotrimz It probably a combo of both the heat, fitness and maintaining drive without reward for an extended period.
Assuredly the dog has not been conditioned to long enough intervals without reward. This is partially a training and age issue for sure which is being worked on.
However, the dog definitely fades faster in the heat then in cooler conditions.This has been noted in the training I do at home.
I do believe that a higher level of physical fitness would create a dog that lasts longer in the heat and stays in drive longer.
The weight drag is very interesting, is this done at a walk or run? Can you use an agitation harness or does it have to be a weight pull harness?
Unfortunately there is no water near by so swiming is out. Biking is not something I have tried for some reason thats a good idea.
|Colie CVT
I know that I'm not particularly a person who is the all out person for fitness, but I have noticed that I don't usually have to worry about my dogs as much when its hot out or when it's cold out. They are constantly ready to go onto the next challenge, have learned to pace themselves and are all in rather good physical shape.
Like others, my dogs do a decent amount of swimming. Instead of biking or treadmill however, I tend to take them on hikes and adjust the level of what they're doing or carrying on them to how long we get to be out. Generally speaking, for a shorter hike, I will find some kind of natural element (like a large rock or hill) and either ask them to go up onto it or toss something down the hill a few times for them. Let them start getting a little tired, then move out onto the trail again, letting them keep moving. I try to make goals out of where I will hit water (unless its next to the trail the whole time). Longer days, I tend to just pack water on the dogs so that they're carrying a bit more weight even if we're not going as fast. I also try not to ask them to jump on or go down hills much if we will be out for some time.
Yesterday was the annual See Spot Splash event for the local humane society. I took my boys down and they literally wanted to swim for a solid 45 minutes. I had to make them take breaks, holding onto the two bumpers I had (which some times meant that I had to play dodge the yellow lab who wants my bumpers) and simply making them have to wait. Some times this worked out. They'd just stand or sit near me, eyes on me and the bumpers. Other times they'd decide to go after a ball or we'd suddenly find ourselves in the midst of a few dogs (they had a max of 50 at a time in the pool areas - small and large).
Even when I took them toward the exit, they were both still willing to run about. And neither of them actually laid down in the car until they knew for sure I was driving somewhere far rather than just taking another stop to one of the trails they love nearby. My dogs are all definitely in better shape than I am lol.
However, I will add that the state of air conditioning in my house is fairly minimal compared with most people. We don't have central air. We have a few portable air conditioners and a lot of fans. The house can be warm in the summer, even if we try otherwise. Generally speaking, if I feel its too hot in the house for the dogs, I will take them somewhere with water or wet them down before they come into my room (since it is smaller with a unit in it). The heat does not seem to bother my dogs as much as it does others. I keep a sharp eye on them, water them where appropriate and attempt to always find a way to get them wet somehow.
Don't know if anyone else has ever noticed, but when dogs who had been kind of tired and hanging around, suddenly seem to get the zoomies if they get the chance to wet themselves within a river or pond or even puddle! Least that's been my experience with my crazy dogs lol.
|Have you also tried to work your dog to where she is tired for the lets say the retrieve but have her do one or two more.

Anyone tried and used this mount on their saiga? Its plastic, right? I'm guessing it replaces the rear sight. Does it attach with a screw on the back end? I'm looking for something like this and wondering if the plastic is a solid base to mount an optic to. Does it work well?
Help! Thanks in advance!

Arsène Wenger admits Abou Diaby's latest injury is "a blow" - but says it also represents an opportunity for another player to stake their claim.
The France midfielder sustained a thigh strain in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea and is expected to be ruled out for three weeks.
Wenger is disappointed to lose the midfielder, but believes he has the necessary cover in his squad.
"It is as an opportunity for somebody else to stand up and play, but it is a blow," he said. "Not only because we lost a good player but because he has qualities that the other players haven't got.
"We have better balance size-wise and [in terms of] strength [when he is in the team] because he has power.
"We also have Ramsey, Coquelin, Chamberlain, Wilshere, it depends on if you want to be more offensive. We have plenty of players who are in between higher up and lower down in midfield.
"Arteta can play higher and deeper as well. So we can put a deeper midfielder in like Coquelin and then Arteta can move forward."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Powerful charting has always been Family Tree Maker's (FTM) hallmark, but major improvements in the latest version make this program a useful tool for organizing your family history, as well. Here's what you can look forward to in FTM 2005&8212;and what still needs fixing.
Dazzling Details
FTM still lets you design and print a wide assortment of graphical family trees, all with your choice of backgrounds, borders, fonts and colors. or you can choose from several pre-designed templates with well-coordinated graphical elements. Strong photo-editing capabilities help you prepare images for use in reports and charts. These new-and-improved properties also impressed us:
Flawed Features
On the downside, FTM still lacks several basic features that have been standard in most genealogy programs for years:
Overall, though, the revamped FTM should start to shed its reputation as a light-weight program long on graphics and short on everything else. The new
pedigree view, updated family view and Web-search options make this a far better program for researching and organizing your family history.
FTM 2005 costs $29.95 (phone support is $2 a minute) from (800) 262-3787 or www.familytreemaker.com. It requires

The incident began when an Israeli Arab drove his care through a Jewish neighborhood on the eve of Yom Kippur. His window was open and music filled the air. To some Jewish people on the street, the appearance of a car, let alone one that blared music, was a deliberate insult to the Jewish religion and had to be dealt with by attacking the man in the car. The result was three days of rioting and shouting curses and hatred. Finally, a delegation of rabbis and President Peres met with Arab leaders of Acre to discuss the situation and find a way to attain peace. The Arab leaders apologized for the man's behavior and the group discussed ways of forming a committee to avoid further such events.
However, the chief rabbi of Acre, Yoseph Yashar, was not satisfied with talk of peace and reconciliation. He was upset that the Arab leaders not only deplored violence toward Jews, but also Jewish violence toward Arabs. "s long as they(Arab leaders) link in the same breath the riots of Arabs on Yom Kippur eve with the acts of vengeance carried out by Jews in response, it will be very hard to calm things down." Spoken like a true believer in peace and love to all human beings.

Accessories Keep Brains Safe From Mind-Reading Tech [Pics]
Fabrica's Lisa Kori and Caitlin Morris design chic trimmings to protect your mental privacy.
Lisa Kori and Caitlin Morris, design researchers at the Italian communications center Fabrica, created a line of high-fashion accessories that can shield your thoughts from mind-reading scans.
These couture adornments carry alert wearers to Neuro-Imaging Surveillance (NIS) scans. This technology, currently used for medical purposes, can scan the brain to see which portions are active, which may betray what a person is thinking or feeling.
The anti-NIS accessories have built-in sensors to detect brain scans but they cannot block the scan without heavier, less subtle technology. Instead, the pieces use lights, bone-conduced sound, or electric shocks to momentarily distract the user, thus preventing the scan from seeing their previous mental state. Kori and Morris's anti-NIS line made its debut at the Futures10 exhibition during the Wearable Futures festival in London.

Officials with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they have not seen a flu season this bad, this early, in nearly a decade. CDC says the flu season is about five weeks ahead of schedule and predicts the worst is probably yet to come. Currently, the flu is widespread in 41 states. Influenza activity continued to increase in Dallas County, with 33.5% of all influenza tests returning positive. Increasing numbers of influenza-associated hospitalizations are also being reported, with 85 inpatient admissions. Some area health departments and doctor's offices may be running low on flu vaccine, but the Garland Health Department's Public Health Clinic still has plenty of flu vaccine available for children and adults at affordable prices. How do you know if you have the flu? Influenza is a contagious respiratory sickness with symptoms that include fever, a cough, sore throat, runny nose and headaches. It is different from what people commonly refer to as the "stomach flu," which is more likely gastroenteritis. Vaccination is the best tool for prevention, and it's never too late for a flu shot. Where are we located? Garland Health Department's Public Health Clinic is located at 206 Carver St. Garland, TX 75040. The clinic is open Monday – Friday and our hours are 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Clinic staff is currently administering flu vaccine without an appointment and the cost of the vaccine is listed below: • $20 adults • $10 children (6 month-18 years old) • Medicaid (except Molina) is accepted • Medicare Part B will file • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas Please bring insurance card for BCBS, Medicaid or CHIP and Medicare "Part B" For more information, please call 972-205-3370.

Rove Still Pushing Health Care Deficit Reduction Misinformation
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Karl Rove wrote, "the claim by the Office of Management and Budget that the [health care] bill will cut the deficit" is not "credible." But nonpartisan experts, such as the Congressional Budget Office, have consistently supported the claim that health care reform will reduce the deficit.
Rove Misleads On Health Care Deficit Reduction
Rove: "The Claim By The Office Of Management And Budget That The Bill Will Cut The Deficit" Is "Not Credible." In a January 20 op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Fox News contributor Karl Rove claimed: "Virtually every claim the Obama administration has made on its behalf is turning out to be untrue. (Recall 'If you like your current [health-care] plan, you will be able to keep it.') Or it wasn't credible to start with, such as the claim by the Office of Management and Budget that the bill will cut the deficit." [Wall Street Journal, 01/20/2011]
In Fact, Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office Agrees That Health Care Reform Will Reduce The Deficit
CBO, JCT Found Health Care Reform Legislation Would Reduce The Deficit By $143 Billion Through 2019. From a March 20, 2010, CBO cost estimate of the Senate health reform bill and the health care and education reconciliation bill:
CBO and JCT [Joint Committee on Taxation] estimate that enacting both pieces of legislation--H.R. 3590 and the reconciliation proposal--would produce a net reduction in federal deficits of $143 billion over the 2010-2019 period as result of changes in direct spending and revenues (see Table 1). That figure comprises $124 billion in net reductions deriving from the health care and revenue provisions and $19 billion in net reductions deriving from the education provisions. [Congressional Budget Office, 3/20/10]
Estimate Also Found Reform Legislation Would Continue To Reduce Deficit In Second Decade. CBO further stated:
Reflecting the changes made by the reconciliation proposal, the combined effect of enacting H.R. 3590 and the reconciliation proposal would also be to reduce federal budget deficits over the ensuing decade relative to those projected under current law--with a total effect during that decade in a broad range around one-half percent of GDP. [Congressional Budget Office, 3/20/10]
CBO Budget Outlook Says Health Care Reform Law Will "Reduce Budget Deficits Over The 2010-2019 Period And In Subsequent Years." CBO's June 30, 2010, long-term budget outlook states that the health care reform law "is expected to increase federal spending in the next 10 years and for most of the following decade. By 2030, however, that legislation will slightly reduce federal spending for health care if all of its provisions are fully implemented, CBO projects." CBO noted in a footnote that although the law -- which will reduce the number of uninsured by 32 million by 2019 -- will increase federal spending on health care in the next two decades, it will still reduce budget deficits:
If all of its provisions are carried out, the legislation will also increase federal revenues and reduce budget deficits over the 2010-2019 period and in subsequent years, according to estimates by CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. [Congressional Budget Office, 6/30/10]
CBO: In Long-Term, Health Care Reform "Slow[s] The Accumulation Of Debt Considerably." While cautioning that long-term estimates of health care spending are uncertain, the CBO budget outlook stated that if the health care reform bill is implemented as written, it "increase[s] projected revenues, particularly in the 2030s and beyond, thus slowing the accumulation of debt considerably." [Congressional Budget Office, 6/30/10]

text: Who do you consider the best ice dance team in history. It seems a 3 way choice between Gritschuk & Platov, Torvill & Dean, and Klimova & Ponomarenko probably. I picked Torvill & Dean, since I dont think Gritschuk & Platov deserved their 94 gold which should have gone to Usova & Zhulin (and Torvill & Dean maybe should have won silver over Gritschuk & Platov as their program that night was technically harder and less sloppy, and both had illegal moments). I couldnt pick Klimova & Ponomarenko since I dont think they ever beat Torvill & Dean head to head even though they would have at the 92 and 94 Olympics had T&D competed, but those wouldnt count much when T&D were almost 40 by then.

I have bougt a small computer fan (abt 5cm in diameter, really compact and silent!) and all the battery holder and wires. But i wonder how u guys rigged the fans in....show us some pics!!
I have bougt a small computer fan (abt 5cm in diameter, really compact and silent!) and all the battery holder and wires. But i wonder how u guys rigged the fans in....show us some pics!!
I havent put my fans in yet but plan to soon, I bought laptop 9volt fans so they would sit sideways so air can flow better.
here is my fan setup .hope it helps . one fan sucks air in thru the ear piece that i rigged to slide up and down . ( or , open and close )then pushes it up to the visor to keep it from fogging . when i get really hot i open it all the way as pictured and stand into the wind or under an air vent . it does work great .
the other fan sucks the air inside of the helmet into it and pushes it to the back of my head and out of the back key slots , so i have a circular circulation inside the helmet .
later , cory
i have found that the fans are quite useless unless you have about an inch of space behind them. cant push air out if theres no air behind it
problem ive got, heads too fricken big. i cant even get the little detailed resin piece to fit on the slots in the back of the bucket, wouldnt be able to get my head in then. sucks lol.
Trust me... if you're walking around in that bucket for more than a few hours you'll appreciate having a fan installed. I've trooped in 90 degree weather without them before and almost passed out from the heat.... add the helmet and at least there's some air flow.
that is correct . and that is why my set up really works . in my pics in my reply above , you can clearlly see that the " intakes " of the fans are not obstructed at all .BobaFettSlave_1 said:
later , cory
Cory, that is genius!!!!

Where did you get those fans?
i got those fans at fry's electronics.they where about $20.00 each .the battery packs are from radio shack . about $4.00 each .
Do they have a web site I never heard of them.
i added a pic to the photo album with a tape measure in front of it .the fan is made by sunon as seen on the fan lable . you can see fry's at frys.com .i do not know if you are able to get them from the web site or not .
someone I.M.'ed me about how i put them in ... i didnt think about replacing them at the time so i epoxied them in . i guess i'll deal with that when the time comes .i suppose i could have used velcro .
i did however epoxy some bolts to the intake side of the fan that brings air into the helmet . thus giving it a little more room to breath . i think i had to because the fan was rubbing against the helmet . but it worked out for the better . a pic of this is also included on my album above .

Ya they look compact, the problem with regular fans, is you need space in the back for air to circulate, cutting holes in my helmet isnt and option I want to do to. The blower type fans should do good near the bottom.
i'm sure if you wanted to stick them close to the bottom and point then up they would work great .
when my friend comes back from moose con ill get some pics from my helmet fan

First, search the Browning forum "below" using "dot sight". Some good threads/comments. Including mine.
Second, Browning sub-forum at RimfireCentral. Great all-around Buck Mark info. Plus good dot sight threads/comments. Including mine.
Browning - RimfireCentral.com Forums
Here's a pic of my Buck Mark UDX (rosewood laminated grips) "bullseye" target gun.
The "Weaver Rail" for mounting the sight is from Browning (on their site). Bought through Opticsplanet.
The cheap Chinese red/green dot multiple recticle sight is Truglo branded, bought through Amazon. Total of both less than $100.
This combo "works for me" for club matches. Other more serious shooters have good info also. But, more expensive.
Since this picture was taken, I've moved the sight rearward one notch. Allows removel of barrel, rail, and sight as a unit for cleaning.

The Owasco Lake Watershed Association Lake Day Planning Committee will hold a free public conference, "Owasco Lake... OWN IT." The conference will focus on the current condition of Owasco Lake and efforts to reduce phosphorus loading. It will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 9 in the Bisgrove Community Theatre at Cayuga Community College, 197 Franklin St., Auburn.
The workshop features two prominent researchers and their work on Owasco Lake: John Halfman, Ph.D., of the Finger Lakes Institute at Hobart Williams Smith College; and Todd Walter, Ph.D., of Cornell University.
Halfman has been studying Owasco Lake for years and has recently completed synthesis of his data for Summer 2012. He will present his findings on the condition of the lake and compare it to the status of other Finger Lakes. His work is supported by the Cayuga County Water Quality Management Agency and the Owasco Watershed Lake Association.
Walters has been studying nutrient transfer mechanisms in watersheds and is currently developing a system to forecast loading, based on weather forecasts and newly refined models that simulate watershed processes. This milestone work uses a combination of watershed factors and geo-spatial technology to identify and estimate the sources of nutrients entering the lake from throughout the watershed. Nutrients remain a primary, if not the most significant, threat to the condition of the lake.
Owasco Lake is the primary drinking water supply for the City of Auburn and many surrounding towns. As an important recreational destination, it is also used for swimming, boating, fishing, and purely aesthetic appreciation. The lake also supplies water via the Owasco River for power generation and Seneca canal "level" control. The lake and river both provide sewage treatment dilution. The wide array of demands on the lake makes its long-term protection complicated and extremely important.
The event is being sponsored by the Owasco Watershed Lake Association (OWLA), the Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology (IAGT), and Cayuga Community College (CCC).
This workshop is a companion event to Lake Day 2013, to be held at Emerson Park on the shores of Owasco Lake on June 26, 2013.
There is no registration fee for the sessions. Pre-registration is recommended however and would be helpful to conference organizers.
To register by phone or for additional information, call 315-252-8669.

... Why honey is not vegan
Veganism is a social movement designed to create a world free from animal exploitation.
These are generally the same people who think that it is wrong to keep any pets, including dogs. They think that humans are a scourge, a disease on the earth.They mostly just need to be ignored, like one ignores that little layer of yeast (an animal!!??? ) on the bottom of a wine barrel.
... it seems to be all about suffering if it tastes good it's off limits...

Backyard home office
Martha Mendoza's days are filled with deadlines, after-school commitments, and other pressures. Yet the celebrated journalist, teacher, wife, and mother―who won a Pulitzer Prize at age 33 for an investigative series on the Korean War―leads a surprisingly balanced life.
Her secret? This tiny home office, housed in a converted potting shed in her Santa Cruz, California, backyard. Here she can steal away from her domestic responsibilities to write, study, and pursue breaking news stories for the Associated Press. "Being detached from the house is key."

The Norwegin government has been shocked by actions of China both in Tibet and its persecution of dissident critics. There is growing consensus among many Norwegians that their government should assume leadership in fighting for human rights in the world. Amnesty International has just released a scathing report which charges the Chinese government with increasing pressure on dissidents as their nation prepares to host the Olympics. Both Liberal and Conservative party leaders in Norway believe attending the opening ceremony would be the wrong message to send to China.
Some Norwegians are urging Gerhard Heiberg, their representative on the Olympics Committee to use the power of that organization to exert pressure on China to halt its repressive policies toward those who disagree with the government.
There is always the possibility of some mistake on the part of Chinese officials if an athlete makes derogatory remarks about the lack of human rights in China. Any action against an athlete would most probably result in cancellation of the Olympic Games.

On the Hill: Powder galore at Vail
December 24, 2012
Brought to you by The Steadman Clinic and the Steadman Philippon Research Institute.
Vail official report: 7″ new snow
Vail Daily field report: A foot or more in places
Weather: Snowing, sunny, warm, cold, the conditions are changing moment to moment. Crazy day.
Liftline status: Once again, none of the mazes were very full for a powder day
Run of the day: Forever was windblown down to a smooth surface, so the new snow doesn't have moguls underneath
Breakdown: It just keeps dumping during the closing week. Vail's received 19 inches of new snow in the last 7 days and you can find all of it in the trees and stash spots. The powder conditions are phenomenal, and the groomers are soft heading for closing weekend.
Snowcast: It should continue off and on, forecasters say.

text: I plan on building some medium nucs to use as swarm traps. I use a single hole in the front of mine. My question is: do you think I should have a screen bottom board? Would this better help to attract? The SBB saves me time and wood. I plan on including 3 new foundation frames and 2 with used comb in each nuc and a Mann Lake swarm lurer. Thoughts.


text: I am finished painting my Bobamaker Jango lid, now I'm just curious if the grey primer he sent it to me in is acceptable to RnB or do I need to sand again? It feels fairly smooth but I'm noticed that when you sand with 600 grit it's a glass smooth finish, then you prime again and there are some rough spots. At what point do you call it enough?

POEMS syndrome can be misdiagnosed because the signs and symptoms mimic those of other disorders. POEMS syndrome progresses rapidly and may become life-threatening, so early diagnosis is important.
Treatment for POEMS syndrome may improve your symptoms but does not cure the condition. Treatment options include radiation therapy, chemotherapy and peripheral blood stem cell transplant.

In a continual effort to enhance the overall experience and effectiveness of StRaphael.net we have made some additional changes to our photographs and scanning services.
First we have doubled the allotted size of profile photographs. This means that profile photographs may now be up to 250 pixels wide by 300 pixels in height. We encourage members to re-upload their profile photograph in order to take advantage of this expansion.
Secondly, we realize that many members do not have access to digital cameras and/or scanners. Therefore in an effort to encourage more member photographs we now offer profile photograph scanning services to both full and free members at absolutely no cost!
