Media echoed, uncritically repeated Snow's equating of Libby commutation with Clinton pardons
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY & JULIE MILLICAN
In the July 16 edition of Newsweek, investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff wrote that "Democrats' outrage" over President Bush's July 2 commutation of former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's 30-month prison sentence "lost steam when [Sen.] Hillary Clinton [D-NY] came forward to scold Bush for not respecting 'the rule of law.' " According to Isikoff: "White House aides were all too happy to remind the country about Bill Clinton's own questionable pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich." Isikoff was just one of several media figures and news outlets to echo the White House's claim that the Clintons displayed "chutzpah" in criticizing the Libby commutation, suggesting parity between Bush's decision and Clinton's presidential pardons. Moreover, several media figures themselves equated Bush's commutation with Clinton's pardons and, in some cases, asserted Clinton's actions were worse. But at no point did these members of the media note a key difference in the circumstances surrounding the Libby case and Clinton's pardons: Bush's commutation of Libby's sentence vastly reduced any leverage prosecutors would have to force Libby's cooperation in investigations of other members of the Bush administration. None of the recipients of Clinton's pardons were similarly situated.
Several media figures, including MSNBC's Chris Matthews, brought up Clinton's January 2001 pardon of Susan McDougal. As MSNBC host Keith Olbermann and Democratic strategist Bob Shrum noted (see below), unlike Libby, McDougal was not in a position to either assist or impede an investigation against Clinton at the time of her pardon.
As The New York Times reported, Bill Clinton criticized the Libby commutation on July 3:
In Iowa to promote the presidential candidacy of his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Mr. Clinton was asked by a radio host, David Yepsen, "You had some controversial pardons during your presidency; what's your reaction to what President Bush did?"
"Yeah, but I think the facts were different," Mr. Clinton said. "I think there are guidelines for what happens when somebody is convicted. You've got to understand, this is consistent with their philosophy; they believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle."
"It's wrong to out that C.I.A. agent and wrong to try to cover it up," Mr. Clinton added. "And no one was ever fired from the White House for doing it."
The Associated Press reported on July 3 that Sen. Clinton "drew a distinction between President Bush's decision to commute the sentence of White House aide I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby -- which she has harshly criticized -- and her husband's 140 pardons in his closing hours in office." According to the AP:
"I believe that presidential pardon authority is available to any president, and almost all presidents have exercised it,'' Clinton said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "This (the Libby decision) was clearly an effort to protect the White House. ... There isn't any doubt now, what we know is that Libby was carrying out the implicit or explicit wishes of the vice president, or maybe the president as well, in the further effort to stifle dissent.''
During a July 5 press gaggle, White House press secretary Tony Snow responded to the Clintons' criticism by accusing them of "chutzpah": "Now you've got President Clinton and Senator Clinton out complaining about this, which, I got to tell you, I don't know what our Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it." Olbermann challenged Snow's comments on the July 5 edition of Countdown, asserting that White House officials were "demonstrably wrong." Olbermann said that Clinton "typically waited until also after sentences were served" to use his clemency authority and "did not use it to undermine prosecutorial leverage in ongoing investigations":
OLBERMANN: Tonight, in our fourth story on the Countdown, Mr. Bush and his Wizard of Oz-like winged monkeys have instead been reduced to arguing that he is no worse than his predecessor, and even in doing that, they are demonstrably wrong.
The context, of course, the commutation of former Bush and Cheney aide Scooter Libby's prison sentence.
On Tuesday, former president Clinton was asked about the comparisons made by Mr. Bush's defenders.

DAVID YEPSEN (Des Moines Register political columnist): You had some controversial pardons during your presidency. What's your reaction to what President Bush did?
CLINTON: Yes, but I think the facts were different. I think, you know, there are guidelines for what happens when, you know, somebody's convicted. And I think that, you know, you got to understand, I think that this is consistent with their philosophy. They believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle.
[end audio clip]
OLBERMANN: Today, Bush spokesman Tony Snow responded off-camera, saying, quote, "I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it," the implication, of course, that presidential clemency then and now is morally equivalent, Mr. Bush's defenders reminding critics of everyone from Marc Rich, to Roger Clinton, to Henry Cisneros, to Susan McDougal, all of them, like Libby, enjoying ties to the president of their time.
Unlike Mr. Bush, however, Mr. Clinton was consistently generous with clemency, rather than reserving it exclusively for friends. He typically waited until also after sentences were served. His friend Susan McDougal did more than a year. He also did not use it to undermine prosecutorial leverage in ongoing investigations. And in the case of Marc Rich, some prominent Republicans argued he was innocent, most notably, Mr. Rich's lawyer, one I. Lewis Libby, also known as "Scooter."
Despite this distinction, several media figures themselves asserted that the Clinton pardons and Libby's commutation are similar, or that Clinton's pardons were more "egregious":
- On the July 5 edition of Hardball, host Chris Matthews asked Shrum: "Why on God's earth did Bill and Hillary Clinton, where Bill has got a couple problems on his rap sheet, perjury and obstruction of justice -- he pardoned Marc Rich, his brother Roger, Susan McDougal -- why would he want to step back into the issue of pardons, perjury, and obstruction of justice on the campaign trail for his wife?" In response, Shrum stated that there is a "critical distinction" between Clinton's pardons and the Libby commutation. According to Shrum: "None of those pardons, has anyone ever alleged, could have in any way insulated [Clinton] from some kind of criminal investigation or tough questions about his own conduct."
- On the July 5 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, guest host Michelle Malkin claimed that Bush has "not abused his power" regarding clemency, whereas "it's absolutely clear that's exactly what Bill Clinton did," adding: "[T]he bottom line ... is that Bill Clinton has no place criticizing President Bush on his use of pardons."
- On the July 5 edition of MSNBC's Tucker, host Tucker Carlson claimed that Clinton's "pardons were egregious, they were appalling," adding: "Bill Clinton must have something wrong with him to go after President Bush on this one thing, because this is one of Clinton's original sins."
Furthermore, several media outlets simply repeated Snow's comments without noting the distinction between Clinton's pardons and Bush's commutation of Libby's sentence. For instance:
- On the July 5 edition of the Public Broadcasting Service's (PBS) NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, guest anchor Judy Woodruff noted that "both Senator Clinton and former President Clinton criticized" the commutation and went on to report: "Today, White House press secretary Tony Snow responded to them, saying, 'I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it.' " Woodruff added: "In the waning hours of the Clinton presidency, 140 people were pardoned."
- During the July 5 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, NBC News' chief White House correspondent David Shuster noted that "Clinton said that helping a White House aide who leaked a CIA operative's identity is different," but did not further report on this distinction. Schuster went on to state: "Today, the Bush administration hit back. Off-camera, presidential spokesman Tony Snow said, quote, 'I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it.'"
- CNN White House correspondent Ed Henry twice uncritically repeated Snow's attack on the Clintons, once during the July 6 edition of CNN's The Situation Room and then later that day during CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight. On The Situation Room, Henry claimed that Snow, in attacking the Clintons, has "taken the gloves off here" because the White House "need[s] to rally conservatives" and because he "believes in principle ... that the Clintons are being hypocritical because of the pardons at the end of the Clinton administration." Similarly, during his report on Lou Dobbs Tonight, Henry reported that "the White House is lashing out at Bill Clinton's handling of pardons after the former president charged the law is a quote 'minor obstacle' to this administration," and added that Snow "charg[ed] the Clintons should not be throwing stones over clemency."
- A July 6 USA Today news brief, headlined "Snow pokes fun at Clintonian 'Chutzpah'," noted Snow's remarks and reported that "Clinton tried to draw a distinction between his pardons and Bush's move to commute Libby's 30-month sentence for perjury in the CIA leak case," by claiming: "I think there are guidelines for what happens when somebody is convicted. ... They [the Bush administration] believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle." The report did not note that Clinton did not pardon anyone who possessed information of possible interest to investigators.
- A July 6 New York Times article noted only that "the White House hit back at Bill and Hillary Clinton on Thursday for criticizing Mr. Bush's action, with Tony Snow, the White House press secretary, saying they had 'chutzpah' considering that Mr. Clinton had granted a raft of pardons, some controversial, at the end of his presidency." The article did not mention the distinction between Clinton's pardons and Bush commutation of Libby's sentence.
From Isikoff's article in the July 16 edition of Newsweek:
The grumbling from Libby's supporters was nothing compared with the howls of indignation from Democrats, who condemned Bush for pushing harsh mandatory sentences for criminals -- except the one who happened to work at the White House. But the Democrats' outrage lost steam when Hillary Clinton came forward to scold Bush for not respecting "the rule of law." White House aides were all too happy to remind the country about Bill Clinton's own questionable pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich.
From the July 5 edition of PBS' The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer:
WOODRUFF: The Bush administration made a renewed defense of the president's use of clemency today. On Monday, Mr. Bush commuted Lewis "Scooter" Libby's prison sentence in the CIA leak case. On the campaign trail, both Senator Clinton and former President Clinton criticized the move. Today, White House press secretary Tony Snow responded to them, saying, "I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it." In the waning hours of the Clinton presidency, 140 people were pardoned.
From the July 5 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
SHUSTER: The White House also refused again to say what role Vice President Cheney had in the commutation. Libby's trial revealed the vice president instructed Libby to leak Valerie Wilson's identity as part of the effort to undermine her husband, administration critic Joe Wilson. The evidence revealed that Cheney also got permission from President Bush to leak other classified information to The New York Times.
It's unclear what motivated Libby to lie to investigators, but some Democrats believe he was trying to protect the very highest levels of the White House. As Democratic activists now accuse the president of a cover-up, former president Clinton is weighing in. And yesterday he criticized the Bush administration during an Iowa radio interview.
CLINTON [audio clip]: You got to understand, I think that this is consistent with their philosophy. They believe that they should be able to do what they want to do and that the law is a minor obstacle.
SHUSTER: In the closing hours of his presidency, Clinton pardoned more than 140 people, including fugitive financier Marc Rich. But Clinton said that helping a White House aide who leaked a CIA operative's identity is different. Today, the Bush administration hit back. Off-camera, presidential spokesman Tony Snow said, quote, "I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it."
On camera, Snow's deputy added this.
[begin video clip]
SCOTT STANZEL (White House deputy press secretary): President Clinton issued 141 pardons on January 20, over 200 in the period -- in the post-election period in 2000. So it -- it sort of pales in comparison.
They can disagree with the action the president took, but to use some of the language that they've used is really remarkable.
REPORTER: So are you saying he's not going to have a final-day pardon for Scooter Libby? Just get -- let's get that on the record. Is that what you're saying, that --
STANZEL: The president is on the record on that, and he's not ruling anything in or out.
[end video clip]
SHUSTER: In other words, it's on the record that the president doesn't know what the final record on Libby will be. Democrats, by contrast, have been more clear in their intentions, and that is to keep the Libby controversy alive, and so congressional hearings on the Libby commutation decision are scheduled to begin next week.
MATTHEWS: Bob, I want to interject a thought here.
Why -- I mean, you're a political tactician and strategist. Why on God's Earth did Bill and Hillary Clinton, where Bill has got a couple problems on his rap sheet, perjury and obstruction of justice -- he pardoned Marc Rich, his brother Roger, Susan McDougal -- why would he want to step back into the issue of pardons, perjury, and obstruction of justice on the campaign trail for his wife?
SHRUM: Well Susan McDougal was acquitted, but putting that aside --
MATTHEWS: But he pardoned her.
SHRUM: -- Scooter Libby was -- Scooter Libby was convicted, but -- and that's the difference. But putting that aside, as a political matter --
MATTHEWS: Bob, wait. Why is Bill Clinton back in the pardon business? I don't get it.
SHRUM: As a political matter -- I was going to answer it, Chris, if you let me. As a political matter, I think they knew that they were going to face these questions in press conferences as they campaigned through Iowa. The press was going to go after them and ask the question again and again.
So, they made the decision to just affirmatively talk about it. I think, as a political decision, it was smart.
RON CHRISTIE (former special assistant to President Bush): No, Bob, that was not an affirmative decision. Bob, I have to cut you off.
That was not an affirmative decision. Senator Clinton made the comment that this administration thinks it's above the law. And President Clinton tried to parse, in the usual Clintonian nonsense, about, oh, well, this administration, you know, they think they are above the law. They said the same thing.
This was a president who pardoned 141 people on his last day in office, and, I might tell you, spending the time today to review some of these pardons, you're talking about Mel Reynolds, someone who was convicted of having sex with a 16-year-old campaign worker, who the president commuted his sentence for bank fraud. You're talking about the McDougals. You're talking about Roger Clinton with his intent to distribute cocaine.
For the Clintons to try to draw any correlation between what President Bush did with Scooter Libby and what President Clinton did during his last day in office is obscene. And this is why I think Senator Clinton is going to have a hard time on the trail, because it is more of that Clintonian nonsense and America is tired of it.
SHRUM: Listen, I think this is absurd and the way you are describing it is absurd. I do not defend all of those pardons that Bill Clinton made on his last day in office. But I think there is a critical distinction: None of those pardons, has anyone every alleged, could have in any way insulated him from some kind of criminal investigation --
CHRISTIE: Susan McDougal, Henry Cisneros--
SHRUM: -- or from answering tough questions about his own conduct.
CHRISTIE: Susan McDougal, Henry Cisneros --
SHRUM: Henry Cisneros? The president was not accused of ever having anything to do with the Henry Cisneros situation.
CHRISTIE: No, actually, Bob, what I'm talking about --
SHRUM: What are you talking about? You just throw names out.
CHRISTIE: No, actually I'm throwing names out in the form of the secretary of Housing and Urban Development --
SHRUM: How was Bill Clinton -- how was Bill Clinton related to the Henry Cisneros problem? How was he related? What allegations were there about Bill Clinton?
CHRISTIE: You're talking about a former cabinet secretary from his administration --
SHRUM: You know, Ron, you made a charge -- you made a charge --
CHRISTIE: I'm trying to answer your question -- no, I'm making the charge, you're talking over me --
SHRUM:-- I am talking over you because you won't answer the question --
CHRISTIE: I'm trying to answer the question. Stop talking --
SHRUM: The question is, how was Bill Clinton implicated in the Cisneros situation?
MATTHEWS: By the way, the only connection -- I know the only connection, and it's tangential, is that, as we all know, Henry Cisneros in his application for the position of HUD [Department of Housing and Urban Development] secretary gave a dishonest answer about how much money he was paying off his girlfriend.
CHRISTIE: His mistress. That's exactly right.
MATTHEWS: And that was the problem. You can say that is the president's fault, but only, Ron, highly tangential, that somehow Bill Clinton knew how much money that Henry Cisneros was paying his girlfriend as a settlement. How would he have known that?
CHRISTIE: No, Chris, the correlation -- the correlation that I'm trying to make, Chris, is the fact that the Democrats are trying to say that this administration has something to hide and they are being less than honest. What I'm trying to demonstrate is that a number of the people that President Clinton had pardoned had a lot of embarrassing information about the president. That's the point I'm trying to make.
MATTHEWS: Hey, Ron, I want to call this a tie and it's the first time Shrummy has met his match since George W. Bush. Anyway, thank you Bob Shrum and Ron Christie.
From the July 5 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
SUZANNE MALVEAUX (guest host): And at the White House today, the 5th of July fireworks from press secretary Tony Snow. He is laying into Bill Clinton's comments about President Bush and his decision to spare "Scooter" Libby from going to prison.
The former president told a radio interview in Iowa that the Bush administration believes the law is, "a minor obstacle."
Today, Snow is returning fire, suggesting Clinton has nerve to blast Mr. Bush when Clinton himself granted a slew of controversial pardons. Snow told reporters, quoting now: "I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it."
Snow also used an op-ed piece in USA Today to defend the commutation of Libby's 30-month sentence in the CIA leak case.
Let's bring in our own White House correspondent, Ed Henry. Obviously, this is political, somewhat. We can only imagine that Tony Snow has something behind making these comments today -- Ed.
HENRY: Oh, yes, Suzanne. You know Tony Snow. He's taken the gloves off here. The White House is in a pickle. They need to rally conservatives. What is an easier target than to open fire on the Clintons? And that's what he's doing here. He believes in principle, as well, that the Clintons are being hypocritical because of the pardons at the end of the Clinton administration.
But I asked Tony Snow, but are you saying now that two wrongs make a right? And he insisted, no, because he believes that Mr. Bush didn't do anything wrong with the commutation of "Scooter" Libby.
But the White House seems to be having it both ways. They're lashing out at the Clintons, but you'll remember after those Clinton pardons, there were some safeguards added to the system so this wouldn't happen again.
But what Mr. Bush appears to have done is to do an end run around all of that -- Suzanne.
From the July 5 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight:
KITTY PILGRIM (guest host): Good evening, everybody. We begin tonight with a showdown between the White House and a federal judge over former White House aide Scooter Libby. President Bush declared that Libby will serve probation after commuting Libby's prison sentence in the CIA leak case. However, the judge who sentenced Libby to prison disagrees with the president's assertion on Libby's probation. Ed Henry reports from the White House. Ed.
HENRY: Kitty, it turns out that Scooter Libby may not have to serve any probation, which could undermine one of Mr. Bush's key justifications for the commutation.
To make the case Lewis "Scooter" Libby is not getting a slap on the wrist, the president claims he will serve two years of probation.
[begin video clip]
BUSH: I felt the punishment was severe. So I made a decision that would commute his sentence but leave in place a serious fine and probation.
HENRY [voice-over]: But now the judge says Libby can't serve probation because his sentence was commuted before he did any prison time. "Strictly construed," Judge Reggie Walton wrote this week, "the statute authorizing the imposition of supervised release indicates that such release should occur only after the defendant has already served a term of imprisonment."
White House spokesman Scott Stanzel acknowledged he hasn't read the July 3rd order, but nevertheless tried to insist Libby's probation is not in dispute.
STANZEL: We believe the attorneys, the judge and the probation office can work out those details.
HENRY [voice-over]: But a clemency expert sided with the judge's interpretation and said the president may have erred by not first running the commutation by his own Justice Department.
MARGARET LOVE (former Justice Department attorney): One would have thought he would have consulted with the Justice Department, the people who are the experts on federal sentencing.
HENRY [voice-over]: Their own argument under fire, the White House is lashing out at Bill Clinton's handling of pardons after the former president charged the law is a, quote, "minor obstacle" to this administration.
STANZEL: The hypocrisy demonstrated by Democratic leaders on this issue is rather startling. When you think about the previous administration and the 11th hour fire sale pardons, it's really startling that they have the gall to criticize what we believe is a very considered, a very deliberate approach to a very unique case.
[end video clip]
HENRY: Tony Snow went a step further, charging the Clintons should not be throwing stones over clemency, adding quote, "I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it." Kitty.
PILGRIM: Ed Henry, reporting from Washington.
From the July 5 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
MALKIN: Are you saying that it's some sort of, like, unfair political opportunism to bring these things up; to bring up the fact that the White House was used to sell pardons for so long?
And also, that the disparity between the Bush White House and the Clinton White House on how these things were used -- Bush has used these very judiciously. He has not abused his power in these senses when it's absolutely clear that's exactly what Bill Clinton did.
BOB BECKEL (Democratic strategist): Well, if you think this is judicious to bypass your own Justice Department and the guidelines, and do this in the still of the night --
MALKIN: He left in -- he left in place the probation and the fine. The stain is there, and he's not removing that.
BECKEL: That's right. That's right, and I'll tell you, I'll eat my hat if he doesn't get a full pardon by the time this is over.
MALKIN: First-time offender.
BECKEL: But - but, look. The -- the fact of the matter is you could argue about what Fitzgerald did. He did it. It was -- and Libby did, in fact, lie about this.
Now I can't help the fact that the guy lied to the FBI and that Fitzgerald pursued him maybe too aggressively. And he should have done this -- he should have brought the Armitage thing out. But it didn't happen that way. And that's just the way things worked.
MALKIN: Well -- it looks -- and the bottom line, though, Bob, is that Bill Clinton has no place criticizing President Bush on his use of pardons.
BECKEL: I -- I think -- I think that probably is a little bit of wishful thinking on your part.
From the July 5 edition of MSNBC's Tucker:
TUCKER: OK, I think you -- I think there's something to what you say. In fairness, there have been a number of conservatives who -- who are bothered by the fact that Scooter Libby lied, and I'm one of them, for that matter. I -- I'm glad his sentence was commuted.
But I want to just go back to Bill Clinton here, who is re-entering the national scene because his wife is trying to become president, basically on his coat tails. His pardons were egregious. They were appalling.
LANNY DAVIS (former Clinton White House counsel): And do you know that President Bush I didn't pardon anyone who had committed serious crimes?
TUCKER: I'm sure he did. I haven't looked at the list. I'm not here to defend the first President Bush, or -- or the current President Bush.
DAVIS: So, so, so --
TUCKER: I'm merely saying that --
DAVIS: Let's see the [inaudible] standard --
TUCKER: Bill Clinton must have something wrong with him to go after President Bush on this one thing, because this is one of Clinton's original sins.
DAVIS: I didn't find anything unusual about President Clinton criticizing this commutation any more than --
TUCKER: Really?
DAVIS: -- I found unusual about Republicans criticizing president, or you criticizing President Clinton. The fact is, we give the president the pardon power to exercise it, and people will criticize it.
From the July 6 USA Today news brief, under the headline "Snow pokes fun at Clintonian 'Chutzpah'":
The White House responded Thursday to comments by former president Bill Clinton about President Bush's decision to commute the 2½-year prison sentence of former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
In his commutation, Bush left a $250,000 fine, which Libby paid Thursday. At the end of his presidency, Clinton pardoned 140 people. This week, Clinton tried to draw a distinction between his pardons and Bush's move to commute Libby's 30-month sentence for perjury in the CIA leak case. "I think there are guidelines for what happens when somebody is convicted," Clinton said during a radio interview. "They believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle."
"I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it," White House spokesman Tony Snow said Thursday.
From the July 6 New York Times article, titled "Libby Pays Fine, Judge Poses Probation Query":
On the political front, the White House hit back at Bill and Hillary Clinton on Thursday for criticizing Mr. Bush's action, with Tony Snow, the White House press secretary, saying they had "chutzpah" considering that Mr. Clinton had granted a raft of pardons, some controversial, at the end of his presidency.
The developments showed how intense the focus remains on what has been the highest-profile, and most contentious, use of presidential clemency powers by Mr. Bush.

The remarkable thing about GSDs is that they're so malleable and can be trained to be as social with humans as you like them to be.
For me, my dog was intended to protect my tiny, Chinese-American wife as we've had some problems with racists here in Texas. So, we didn't socialize him at all until her was older.
True to form, the puppy and then adolescent dog (He's now 18 months plus) plainly didn't like people for the first year. He was suspicious and reactive. And, that's just how we wanted him to be.
Over time, we trained him to not react on his own by having him sit, lay down and stepping on the leash and repeating the world "easy". Over time he came to know that meant that I believed the person didn't represent a threat.
But at the same time we taught him commands to alert and to bark and we tried to teach him to show his teeth (no luck, really). Now, he knows he needs to take our lead about people before he reacts.
Just the way we want him.
|Maybe she just knew the air conditioner lady was selling a crappy air conditioner. LOL Most people don't approach my dogs to pet them but Xerxes loves children and had a blast at the nursing home when I took him.
|I am usually 100% okay with kids petting my shepherds if they ASK first. All the kids in my neighborhood know Athena and Sinister. But last night I had a 13 year old girl just walk into my yard with and screamed, oh I love your dogs. Scared the crap out of me I jumped out of shock and Sinister went on alert and barked at the girl. It is never okay with me when someone does not respect me or my dogs. Sinister is a 80lb 7 1/2 month old. he is still young and is still in training. I regret now letting all the kids get comfortable with my dogs because there are those kids who do not respect boundaries. It is a give and take. My dogs love people whom are welcomed in our home or are invited to pet on a walk. But kids especially do not know how to properly approach dogs.
|I specifically asked for a dog who loved all people, from a litter of Czech lines. I got what I wanted. Funny thing is I walked her in home depot last week, and got approached by a saleslady trying to sell me an air conditioner. Apache barked that lady away after I told her no. Shes never done that before but I guess shes maturing.
I did not read the article. I hear too much about leerburg and don't think they are my thing.
I let people pet my puppies, but I reserve the right to refuse.
1. People including children must ask first. If they do not ask then they do not pet.
2. If I think that the pup has had enough today, I just say no. I may offend someone, but I don't own them, and I am not responsible for them, and I do not have to live with them for the next 14 years.
3. If someone has their hands full, several kids, etc, No.
4. If there is a bunch of kids, or if I don't feel that the kids look capable of following simple instructions, I say no.
Most of the time, I let people pet the puppy, and they are all into me. In fact, they are if anything too attached to me. Letting strangers pet them has caused no conflict of interest from the dogs' point of view. They know who is master of the food barrels.

I like my puppies to be receptive to interaction and be social, but let me call the shots and not always be pulling to go over and greet a new person.

Who pets your dog? --Leerburg
I don't think you read what I wrote correctly. If you have a dog that is not comfortable with attention from everyone then following Leerburgs' protocol is probably the way to go.
By cowering I simply meant a fearful dog.

Leerburgh has "some" solutions that seem to be a bit extreme... dogs and babies/kids strikes me as one and Lou Castle has some "issues" with Leerburghs' work with E collars but that aside, with "Who Pets my Puppy or Dog" Ed Frawley has it nailed!
If you don't have a dog "with people issues" then no harm is done. Meet and greet till the fur is rubbed off your dog by folks.
If you do have a dog with "people issues" then letting folks pet him and "guessing" he's OK??? Good lucky with that, my guy shwoed me early on that he was not a big people person...fine with me.
He doesn't have to like anyone but he does did to know how to behave around people. That's what I taught with this approach and that is what he does!
When I did allow someone to pet him, I turned and looked at him because I knew what he looked like when he was doing fine and I steeped aside and allowed him to be greeted he was fine..did not really care but no issues.
Other dogs the vet office and kids..no issues.
For me the "Who pets' thing is a no brainier. It's how I will train all my dogs going forward.
It's really no different than training a service dog. A service dog that wants to meet and greet everyone he sees is not of much value.
A family pet that thinks everyone is his friend, is very likely to walk or drive off with a friendly stranger, if not well trained!
My Boxer would have been like that but for "oops can't leave the yard!'" My GSD yeah he's not walking off with anyone save me and my wife.
And cowering behind?? You can call it cowering, I call it discipline. I protect my dog if a dog charges us I tell my dog to stay..I take point, I'm dealing with the attacker, "not" my dog and the problem dog!
So 'Who pets" has been Dog tested and dog approved by me and Rocky, case in point:
He did just fine!

I was taking the AKC Star Puppy class and was told that 'socializing' meant my dog had to be petted by everyone. If I had it to do over again, I would do more of the Leerburg way

It's that time of year that most every publication I pick up seems to have a "Best of the Year" list of one type or another. The ones I am most drawn to, not surprisingly, are those of best books.
I want to immediately start checking off the ones I have read and add the others to my "list-of-books-to-read-sometime."
Most lists of best books of the year are from those published during the past year; mine is of books I have read that year, not necessarily those published.
It's hard to decide, but here is my list:
Many staff have shared their favorite books, movies, and music from 2010 on our website under "Best of 2010" and we share routinely on our blogs in these same categories.
What were you favorite books of the year OR what do you think of mine? I'd appreciate hearing what you read and enjoyed.
Best wishes for the new year – good times, good health, good friends, and, of course good books!

There is increasing evidence of the growth in Xinjiang province of Muslim activists who are challenging the authority of Chinese officials. The Chinese Foreign Ministry denounced as false claims by foreign human rights advocates of anti-Muslim actions which include the destruction of mosques by the Chinese government. According to the Foreign Ministry, "the two buildings were unlawfully built structures, not mosques." It said farmers had constructed religious buildings without obtaining necessary official permission.
There is no question groups like the Islamic Liberation Front and the Hizb ut-Tahrir are growing in power and offering Muslims the vision of a Muslim society in which the hated Han Chinese no longer enjoy power. Perhaps, it is time for China to accept and support Muslim groups that seek to have religious freedom while adhering to the laws of the nation.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
In the past summer I had the chance to went to a glaciar and the opportunity to try a lot of stuff, boards bindings and boots.
My feet are not too wide and I have a quite narrow ankle, my size is a 10 - 10.5 depends on the brands. I tried several boots and I think for your type of needs you could go on the following: Salomon F (don't remember exactly which number but is not the top one), Vans Cirro (quite stiff) or the Nitro Team. I would not know which one to choose, I think the Salomon is really tight on the ankle, you'll feel your foot hold pretty well. Vans is probably the stiffest one and offer a quite good lace adjustment with BOA, quite confy as well. The Nitro also has a quite good lace adjustment and it's also confortable, I would say a bit softer. All and all 3 good boots. Up to you, I hope this was helpfull.
Take care.
Congrats on the weight loss!
I am a part time instructor (taking this season off), where do you teach at? I am pretty sold on the DC judge (over 80 days in the last 2 seasons). They have the best heel hold of any boot I have tried on (The liner harness is integrated to the shell and the liners are great). They have a minimal footprint - if you compare them side by side they match both salomon and burtons footprint (which are supposed to be reduced) and they were smaller than the ride boots footprint. I have skinny ankles and a wide forefoot. They fit me better than the other boots I have tried (I have tried vans aura, k2 mayasis, ride insano, burton imperial, burton grail, salomon f22, and dc ceptor). They have the dual zone boa which i really like as the metal wires dont loosen as you ride all day. They have a different dual boa design which enables more ankle flex. The downside in my opinion is they are kinda stiff until you break them in. I like the broken in feel (slightly softer) as I think it enables more dorsiflexion in the ankle joint. I have the 2011s, and only bought the 2012s as I was able to fit into an entire size smaller size comfortably (I went from size 11 (2011 model which still fit great) to size 10 in the 2012 model). Obviously you should try on some boots in person to see what fits your foot. Just my 2 cents.
|I need a name
Boot advice
I'm in the market for new boots again this year. I bought a pair of 32 primes last year, but I lost approximately 80 pounds and completely changed my body type. Needless to say, nothing I had fits anymore.
I'm an instructor and need something comfortable, supportive, and relatively stiff for aggressive riding. Preferably something with a small foot print too, my primes gave me some toe drag. I'm a size 11-12 with a relatively wide foot.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Arsène Wenger feels "grateful and privileged" to have worked alongside Pat Rice for so long.
The Arsenal legend will retire at the end of the season after a 44-year association with the Club as a player, a coach and, finally, as Wenger's assistant manager.
Rice has been by the Frenchman's side throughout some of Arsenal's most glorious triumphs and Wenger is sorry to see him go.
"It's difficult to measure his contribution, he has just been tremendous," said the manager. "It's sad because his life was linked with Arsenal and Arsenal was privileged to have him as a player, as a captain, as a coach.
"Personally of course I am very grateful for his contribution to my period here. I would like him to forgive me for the bad moments I have given him as well! He has been a constant, loyal supporter and I'm just very grateful and privileged to have had him at my side for such a long time.
"He has decided to stop because nervously it is becoming more difficult certainly as well. He deserves to have a good time now but he will remain in touch with us because he will still work for us at some stage - in scouting maybe - and as a supporter he will always be there."
Wenger arrived in English football in September 1996 and he says that Rice helped him to acclimatise to his new surroundings.
"It's important when you come from abroad to have an assistant who knows the culture of the club and the culture of the country," he said. "I always do that when I travel and I was privileged here because I was lucky.
"Pat knew Arsenal well and knew England well, English football too. Nobody is more of a fighter than Pat Rice, in every single game he is ready for a fight. He kicked me a few times during the games and I feel that in every single game he is ready to give absolutely everything - as a player or a coach - to win the game. And that is what you want."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Well, I witnessed my first honey hole today...
So, I've been driving/scouting/hunting up to 2 hours away from my house. A guy that I know stops over my house on Thursday, used to coach my son in baseball, we've talked about hunting a couple times but nothing serious. He stops over and sees the canoe on my wagon and he says, "Wanna going duck hunting tomorrow?" I said, "Hell yes!" I am always hunting by myself so I was extremely excited to be invited.
I took Friday off because I had been watching this extraordinary front pass through this week and I figured the ducks would be on the heals of it. I watched the weather and they forecasted the front to break at first Wednesday, then Thursday, and finally it looked like it would "kinda" break on Friday. Now it looks like it really will break on Saturday and I new Saturday would bring extreme hunting pressure on all the public land so I committed to Friday.
I was planning on driving 1.5 hours to where I knew I could count on some birds. So his invitation really got me excited. So I asked him, "Where are you going to hunt?" He says, "Right over there." Indicting a place less than 1 mile from my house. I thought to myself, "...I've never seen a duck fly around here at all." I will admit the doubter in me came in full force but since I had someone to hunt with I cheerfully accepted and looked forward to the morning.
So I live in a rural but urban setting, it's a small place surrounded by country. He was taking me to a river bend that snaked through on the edge of the urban and rural setting. Right next to a ball field that are kids played ball in. Oddly enough there was a cow farm right next to it that is somewhat out of place. Nevertheless, he told me he shot ducks there all the time.
So he picks me up at 6:45, mind you I'm used to getting up at 3 am to go to a spot, and we are off to the spot. We had hoped to cross the river bed and avoid crossing the cow farm as it was a sludge fest of manure. Unfortunately, the river was really high so we had to walk through the muck. We arrived and a couple fences later we were there.
We were setup on the high back of a river bend, the cow pasture was behind us. I sat there thinking to myself that perhaps this was a mistake. Hell, I could probably hear a shotgun blast sitting at my house we were so close. Time passed on. Finally, he says, "I'd feel a lot better if we'd say some ducks by now." I start thinking to myself.... "great."
All the sudden he says... "Did you see them?" I said, "No." He said, "They passed just north of us." Admittedly, I saw nothing. Only minutes later I see two coming in, then four coming in, then six coming in, Mallards and Woodys. We had a complete blast fest. I started grabbing for shells that I didn't have. I couldn't believe it. I probably went through 15 shells in the first hour of shooting time. We brought down 7 birds in all. Hell, I had to borrow some shells from him. We probably had 30+ ducks blow by in the first hour (with no decoys because the river was raging).
Then he turns to me and says... "The geese aren't even here yet." I thought to myself, "Are you kidding me?" Negative, band after band of geese made passes at the cow pasture, we couldn't put decoys in it because the cows would just mess them up. So they made there passes and we'd call them in and take shots. All in all, we hit 7 ducks and 3 geese. Needless to say I was floored. And honestly, I we would have had more, but a fair number of shots where misses. :) I was home by 9 AM.
It was the best damn time I've had in a long time. Damn it's fun.
Oddly enough it reminds me of a quote in the Wizard of Oz, after all the time I've spent scouring Ohio in search of birds....
"and it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard..."
Tonight for dinner I had, Wild Roasted Mallard, Rosemary and Apple Sage, Sherry Cream Sauce.

Joan Isaac Cuenca López (born 27 April 1991 in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Barcelona B as a right winger.
Cuenca joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2002, aged just 11. Halfway through his third youth year, however, he returned home and joined local CF Reus Deportiu, remaining with the club a further three (full) seasons.
Cuenca finished his formation with CF Damm and Barcelona, rejoining the latter in 2009. He made his senior debuts in the 2010–11 season, being loaned to yet another Catalonia club, CE Sabadell FC in the third division. He made an immediate impact, starting in 24 of his appearances and totalling 2,288 minutes as the Arlequinats returned to the second level after a 18-year absence.
In June 2011, Cuenca returned to Barcelona and joined its B team, alongside Martí Riverola. Shortly after, we was called by first-team manager Josep Guardiola to the pre-season, and made his debut on 23 July against HNK Hajduk Split.
Cuenca made his official debut for Barça B on 4 September 2011, playing the last 29 minutes in a 4–0 away win against FC Cartagena, and scoring the last goal of the match. On 19 October, he made his first official appearance for the main squad, replacing David Villa in the dying minutes of a 2–0 home success against FC Viktoria Plzeň, for the season's UEFA Champions League.

This year, we are allowed to cheat a little bit more and it is going to create some turnovers some times, two-on-ones or three-on-ones coming our way, but we have got to ask Marty (Biron) to make a big save for us. Our team has to take chances to score goals.

I made this for myself to get the damage correct on the left Gauntlet. I traced over a high res image to get the basic shape down. I have a vinyl cutter so i just cut it out in vinyl to use as a mask, stuck it on, painted and removed it i think it came out pretty good. You will need to do a little dry brushing on some of the edges it you want to get it more natural looking, but this is a good start. You also may need to scale it to your particular gauntlet. I made this for the 2010 MOW's and i had to scale it a bit to get it the size i wanted..figured id share in case anyone wanted this. I may do one for the grey damage as well. On the gauntlet pictured, i just did the grey damage by eye/hand.

Every guy should have a couple purses, right? Right! So, when I ran across this gem, I didn't let 'er get away on a BIN deal. This early, burgundy change purse with gold embossed image is in excellent condition and has held up well over the many years. Paired with my brown version showing raised image, they will contribute to an attractive display of smalls someday (after I find the right curio top table). The old pieces are just amazing and when found at a great price, very enjoyable to acquire. Watching American Pickers and Antiques Roadshow and Pawn Stars seem to compliment (and feed!) these experiences. Pickers on DVR last night made me feel a little better that I don't have THAT MUCH STUFF! :)
Great posts lately, keep those great finds coming.

Yarn Label Information
Yarn Weight Symbols
Symbols will be introduced to designate the various weights (thicknesses) of yarn on labels and to designate the skill level (beginner to experienced) of a pattern.
For yarn weighs a ball/skein will be used containing a number between 0–7, with 0 the finest and 7 the thickest. Downloadable yarn label and skill level symbols.
The skill level symbol is a horizontal bar divided into four sections.When one section of the bar is shaded, it indicates a beginner pattern; four shaded sections indicate a pattern for experienced knitters or crocheters.
Below is how you can expect to see the new yarn symbols used on a label; and how the yarn and skill level symbols might appear in a pattern. See Standard Yarn Weight System and Skill Levels for more information about what the new symbols will represent. As noted in the introduction, these changes will be implemented over time with the printing of new labeling and the publishing of new books, patterns and magazines.
NOTE ABOUT PRINTING THIS CHART: While easy to read on your computer screen, the above chart will be slightly bit mapped when printed. For a sharper copy, print out the standards document pdf.

An exhibition to celebrate Arsenal Football Club's 125-year anniversary opens to the public on August 19th at London's iconic Saatchi Gallery, as Nike gives fans the opportunity to see a unique collection of photography and film celebrating the past, present and future of the club.
The free to view five-day mixed-format exhibition presented by Nike and Arena Homme+ marks the 125th anniversary of London's most successful football club, Arsenal. For 125 years both on and off the pitch the club has embodied style and class, as well as leading innovation within the modern game.
Arena Homme+, the curators of the exhibition, commissioned the photographic collective DoBeDo to create the main gallery content. DoBeDo uniquely combines the talents of established British photographers and the best of London new-skool, adding a fresh and vibrant energy to the art scene.
The collective captured the passion of Arsenal through photographic explorations of the fans, the players, Emirates Stadium and Arsenal's training ground, London Colney. Led by founding member Tyrone Le Bon, DoBeDo took charge of different focal points and shot each moment in their own distinct style to tell a powerful story through stunning and captivating imagery.
Ridley Scott Associates (RSA), a global film production company founded in London by brothers Ridley Scott and Tony Scott, has also created a short documentary that provides a deeply personal insight into the mindset of the Arsenal fans, to be showcased at the exhibition.
Arena Homme+ was re-launched this year under the direction of Ashley Heath and Max Pearmain. While the magazine has a clear focus upon fashion and style, it also has a history of featuring notable footballers on its cover. The project has been led by Ashley who is a passionate Arsenal fan with unique insights into the club.
A private viewing of 'The Arsenal: 125' takes place on 18 August 2011.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'd think from a rule point of view it is simply a matter of avoiding a collision. If you swing into another boat that was already anchored when you arrived then I'd be guessing that legally that would be in the right.
Out of curiosity, when we say the "rule" says the first one dictates the rule--where is that rule written down? Isn't it more a matter of generally accepted etiquette? In which case, we have the boater etiquette that the first to anchor wins, and the general etiquette of "don't be an ass". To me that would mean that I, as the second to arrive, have no reason to expect him to change. But he, as the first to arrive, has every opportunity to decide to change, if for no other reason than just to be friendly.
Or is the first to arrive rule actually matter of regulation?
Agreed Andre.
I should note that the anchorage concerned, though in Sydney Harbour is usually empty or down to a couple of boats 5 days out of seven and even in summer will only have half a dozen boats on a weekend.
What it comes down to then is that rules say first in best dressed and etiquette is close by that. Maybe consideration for others is a different matter.
The "throw out 100m of chain into 10m of water" type is just as much of a nuisance but again rules and etiquette are in their favour though I guess thats better than the 1:1 scopers.
I agree with Simon - rules dictate that the first one down calls the shots - etiquette dictates that all others who come in later keep their distance.
It's no different to the guy who puts out twice the rode he needs and swings onto everything near him. If he's there first . . . . . the only etiquette involved is that he advises you and you stay away.
Just for the record I never do either of those things but bow/stern anchoring is often desirable particularly when a swell is coming into the anchorage.
Absolutely agree with you. Its not the practice thats at fault its the practitioners. Some are good guys some are duffers. Way of the world.

As I approached there was one other boat anchored. I made a loop around the boat and was unable to tell if a stern anchor was also deployed as there was a dinghy and some other lines/gear hanging off the stern of the boat. I would always give deference to the boat first anchored. During my loop the owner came to the cockpit from down below - I was close enough that we were able to have the following exchange... I asked "are you laying on a stern anchor also?" His reply - "I am - let me know if you need any help or if you need me to adjust our position."
My wife and I were able to set our own bow and stern anchors, relative to his boat's position without a problem. I was grateful that (a) he wasn't taking up the entire harbor with a bow anchor only which wouldn't be hard to do if you dropped with an excessive scope and if there were any wind change and (b) his kindness in communication and cooperation. You could tell that he was with his family (2 kids in tow) on an extended cruise with a very seaworthy boat and he exemplified the attitude we should all share amongst each other. Kudo's to his attitude and communication. Not all bow/stern anchorers are out to get you...
|Sounds like the stern anchor trick is the equivalent to parking diagonally in a parking lot to keep other cars away or spreading your stuff out on seats to your right and left in a theater so no one sits next to you.
Interesting replies. Thanks.
While my intitial reaction was "well they should be prepared to pull up the stern anchor", first in best dressed has always been the way I've taken such situations so I most certainly was not going to raise the issue with the other boat. When we circled the anchorage checking it out I waved to the woman on board as we passed. Her only reply was a stiff "we have a stern anchor out" ... no wave no hello. I took that to mean imanarsehole so we moved off. Some folk simply let off an air of bad attitude.
There were btw no out of the ordinary weather reports. We had a SouWesterly that had been blowing for a few days and that anchorage was exposed to the south but it was fairly benign. They had been anchored there for a couple of weeks and had set the fore and aft anchors to keep their bow pointing into the direction of incoming wake from passing ferries and the like. I can well understand why they did it, but I confess I think it was a bit rude. They were obviously long term liveaboard cruisers. Young couple with at least one very young sprog.
Anywho, our decision to go elsewhere had more to do with the fact that we would have to anchor off their stern and a boat covered in nappies was not a view I fancied. To boot the other boat in the anchorage had run a deck mounted generator for hours on end when we were last there. We buggered off to a quieter spot , better protected and without the possibility of squawking sprog in the middle of the night.

You do that before you hit 300 post mark.. because you're at 301.
I did. The above thread post was the 300th post. I replied to a thread immediately after!
This is my 302nd post. OuO
i thought i was at like 3,000
grats and stuff
yeah @skald i think i'm somewhere around 100 posts myself
so what's 9,000 posts divided by 5 years. 1,800? divided by 12 is 150. 150/30 is 5. so i make 5 posts per day? that's a lot. if this was facebook i would have blocked me
It used to be a lot easier to stack up posts. It was like a chat room here way back when. Like you had to check twice a day or actually click page 2 in the morning.
Edit: lol almost 25000. Wtf. I remember trying to get to 15 so I could be the top poster. The subsequent 10k I didn't even look.
Amateurs. The only diehard here is Oister. The rest of us are noobs and wannabe's.
I think I only hit 2K just recently. :c
Honestly that's more of an accomplishment. Everyone here knows you from only 2k posts. I had to make myself obnoxiously omnipresent for y'all to remember me.
oister we were planning on making u a mod at 300 posts, we just wanted to give you time to fully blossom into the beautiful young woman you are today :eagle:
And what a transition it has been.
Oh, when can I expect to be promoted to mod? OuO

While IT allows midmarket businesses to maximize limited resources and do more with less, technological advances cut both ways. Improved connectivity, communication, and Web presence provide benefits to midsize businesses, yet they can also result in an increase of Internet-based security threats and expose the business to criminal elements that these companies wouldn't otherwise encounter.
At the same time, midsize organizations are increasingly utilizing virtualization as well as public and private clouds, trends that have changed security requirements. This Technology Spotlight explores how midmarket virtualization trends are affecting management and security at midsize companies and discusses the role that Trend Micro has in the important market for security solutions for midsize companies.

Women interested in learning outdoor recreation skills will want to attend South Carolina's Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop scheduled for May 20-22 at the Clemson University Outdoor Laboratory. Registration deadline is May 1.
"Becoming an Outdoors-Woman is a program that provides opportunities for women to learn nature-related outdoor skills using a hands-on approach in a noncompetitive, non-intimidating atmosphere," said Steve Bates, education coordinator with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR). "This three-day weekend workshop provides introductory level courses for women ages 18 and older who have never tried these activities but have hoped for an opportunity to learn, or are beginners who hope to improve certain skills."
The registration fee of $150 for the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) covers food, lodging and all equipment needed for the classes. Pre-registration is required. The workshop will be held at the Clemson University Outdoor Laboratory, located on a peninsula of Lake Hartwell. To receive an application for the May 20-22 workshop, call Steve Bates at (803) 734-3885 in Columbia; send a fax to (803) 734-4300; e-mail email@example.com; or download the registration form found on the BOW Web site: www.scbow.com. Registration deadline is May 1.
The Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop offers hands-on instruction in 26 different nature-related outdoor activities. Classes include: fishing, hunting, archery, kayaking, rock climbing, land navigation, boating safety and trailering, birdwatching, backpacking/camping, SCUBA, shooting skills, an ATV rider course and many more. Registrants select four classes of their choice. Following the workshop, participants are more knowledgeable about South Carolina's natural resources and are more able to enjoy the outdoors with their friends, family or on their own.
The workshop is offered through the DNR, and many sponsors support the effort to increase opportunities for women who are interested in learning more about the outdoors. Conservation organizations, outfitters, sporting goods manufacturers and retailers, and state and federal agencies provide instruction, equipment, educational materials and funding to assist participants in their pursuit of nature-related outdoor activities.
The Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop will be held at the Clemson University Outdoor Laboratory, a unique conference facility in a natural setting ideal for learning outdoor skills. The complex is 5 miles from the Clemson University campus on a beautiful peninsula of Lake Hartwell. The rustic-style cabins, with restrooms, fit eight to 10 women in a comfortable camp-like setting.

After travelling through universe for sixteen months, the psychologist Kelvin arrives at Planet Solaris in response to alarming messages sent by the scientists based there. Although scientists already knew that Solaris – a planet of a twin star with an unpredictable orbit – does not conform to known physical laws, what Kelvin encounters on his arrival is not so much the planet's strange phenomena as the strange behaviour of his colleagues. Some of the scientists commit suicide, until the only ones left at the station are Snaut, a bedraggled maverick and cyberneticist, and Sartorious, an inscrutable, paranoid analyser.
On his very first encounter with them, Kelvin is warned of strange apparitions; he does not have to wait long before making his own experiences. He soon has an apparition himself: his former lover, Harey, who committed suicide at the age of nineteen, meets him and starts to revive their guilt-ridden relationship. It appears as if none of the three men is able to get rid of their strange 'visitors'.
It is the vast ocean that has the merciless power to materialise these human beings. Generations of scientists have gone mad researching it while the ocean continues to project their psychic emanations (shame and disgrace) onto their lives with pitiless indifference. The ocean, defying all scientific endeavours, becomes the true enemy of scientists; every one of them fights against it in their own way. After a dangerous experiment that seems to dissolve the boundaries between the scientist and his object, Kelvin is at the end of his tether but finds a way to face the cruel miracles of the vast and unfathomable ocean.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|David Winners
This is a related thread that may help.
|David Taggart
It is normal for the pup to be crated. In nature their mother goes hunting and leaves her pups in the den where they sit quetly for many hours. When they are older (like Titan) they tend to follow their parents. Very young cubs or pups are chases back to the den by the pack members, because they would be nothing but a nuisance during hunting. At around age of 5-6 months youngsters follow the adults on hunting - that is how they learn what to hunt and how to hunt. You cannot explain your dog that you are going to work, shopping, or on other business, he thinks he is missing on something very exciting you are going to have and he is not allowed. He thinks you are going to that trainer without him, or going to play ball, to that wonderful dog park, and he has to stay in the den like a baby!
Separation anxiety can develop out of it, if you forget about your dog needs to be entertained and exercised. When the cubs are of that age like Titan, though they were fed regularly at the den by other pack members, they never really left the den before, which has become too small for them already. It is then they leave the den and join the rest of the pack together with their mother (and find friends). The weakest puppy would leave the last, he would be abandoned by the pack, because the pack may change the place of stay, say, due to flooding. Definitely, he would die, but that is about the wild. We create this situation artificially by leaving the dog to nothingness at home, and separation anxiety is that sence of coming death being abandoned.
It is impossible, that you stay at home all the year round. One day you may travel abroad on holidays and would need to leave your dog for a while. Start training your dog the command "Wait for me", then leave him with your friends for half a day, then leave him just for one night in kennels, then leave him for couple of nights, then for a week, and so. As early you start it - that much it would be better for your puppy, because separation strikes an adult dog really hard, if he is left alone at the age of one year and left for 3 weeks. He might stop eating.

That's what's so odd about this SA.
He goes in the crate no problem when we leave. No crying, not a peep.
We also crate after he eats while we are home or if he just needs down time. Again, not a peep.
Only when we are out and one of us walks away or if someone was giving attention to him or like our trainer today.
Another odd thing is that at our other training class we are out with a group of people (puppy class) he sees other dogs and people coming and going and he's fine.
When we go to our schutzhund training is when he gets very vocal excited pulling screaming, crying, carrying on.
He has started to sometimes bark at other dogs while out at home but not at training.
When he does we distract him and give commands to get his attention away from the dog and then treat as he ignores.
My schutzhund trainer says he should grow out of it.
My puppy class trainer hasn't given any advice.
He can be taken from us by another class member if they have treats and give him commands.
I'm just really confused on how to handle this.
He made a huge scene today, enough for the neighbors to come out to see what was going on.
|I'm not sure David. I am by no means an expert and don't claim to be. Personally, if I were the OP, I would not want to get my 5 month old a "friend" right now. Also, I do not know the cause of SA, but I once had a dog who suffered from it. I got her directly from the breeder at 11 weeks. The breeder kept the entire litter until 11 weeks - so the puppy was not alone prior to coming to me. I was a stay-at-home Mom, with two young kids. The dog was seldom alone and when she was, it was only for short periods of time. Her SA was pretty bad - the bark non-stop, destructive kind.
|David Taggart
Well, Titan decided he is that desired friend. Must be a good trainer and a nice person then, if your dog liked him straightaway. But, what Titan really needs - a friend of his kind. Some dog to run with, to be together on long walks. Some friendly male, say a young Lab. Be careful with choosing one for him, it should be a well behaved dog, Titan will start copying. Because, two friends might cooperate and start attacking other dogs together. Seems, your dog is friendly by nature, fear him being bitten. But that is not your main issue.
And separation anxiety is a psychic disorder, that is a result of being left alone for endless hours, when boredom presses hard. Your dog is barking and whining because he thinks he is missing something, it can develop into anxiety if he is left alone for days.
|This is only our third session with the trainer.
|David Taggart
That is not a separation anxiety, that is called "a pack unity sense". He must have known your trainer for quite a while, and, because, I guess, you might have done a lot together, Titan decided the trainer is a casual pack member. Young wolves and wild dogs often swap the packs if accepted in order to steal young females. In order to be accepted they make friends. I believe, Titan decided that your trainer is such a friend, because he likes him personally, as well as that person who visited your home. You should note it for youself - Titan is in need of a friend from outside of his own pack. Normally such male friend would lure a young dog away from the pack somewhere into the wild just for the sake of having a companion in case of meeting some enemy.Titain has read your trainers move as a departure and was keen to join him, that's why he barked. The same story repeated at home. This behaviour is pretty innocent and you shouldn't worry about, because it happens only before 3 years of age, unless you meet some stray male who run away from his home. If Titan likes him - he will follow him, so in any such situations your recall will save you a trouble.
A sense of a pack union is instinctive, and that is one of variations how new packs might form. It doesn't mean that here is anything wrong with his original pack in which you play a part of a parent. As you say, this sort of behaviour could be observed when you leave, and it reveals much stronger reactions. You should train him to be patient.
Tether him to the tree and ask him to sit. Walk away slowly, and return quickly every time he gets up, repeating "Sit!". At one moment it would be interesting for him what that is for, and he will keep in sitting position. Then introduce him to a new command, and pronounce straight after old command:"Sit!-pause-Wait!". Later in training "Wait!" should work on its own. Start making circles around him, come back to him and reward for being patient. Make the distance greater with time if he sits well longer than 12-15 minutes. Train him to wait patiently off leash. When that seems good - start hiding behind trees, building corners, anything you find suitable, where from you can watch him. Keep a written record on his progress. I always advise to everuone whom I train to start a diary on his/her young dog, without it it could be difficult not only to estimate his progress, but evaluate yourself as a trainer and to avoid doing one and the same mistake. It would be nice if his record states something like 35-40 minutes of wating in sitting position after 3 months. Telling him "Wait!" when you leave the house would install a sense into him that he is doing something in your absense, doing some job. But, please, don't start with it at home, he must grasp what is required outside home first. The command "Wait" could be very useful in many live situations.
We are working on his ball drive. He is more food driven when out. The only time he's all about any toy when out is when we do rag work to build up prey drive. It's the rg on the lunge whip. He goes nuts for that thing. Even after we are finished he always wants more and will eye ball it if it's left on the table.
We have a flirt pole he loves, but I don't know if we should use it out of training. He's learning to bark to get the rag..
I can't have that in my apartment lol.
It's all about the food for him.
Is he ball driven? Or has a certain toy he likes over anything?

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Yes, the quality of fish in Georgia is good.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has one of the most progressive fish testing programs in the southeast. This is not because Georgia has highly contaminated fish, but because the DNR has made a serious commitment to evaluate fish quality and provide detailed information to the people of Georgia. Review and comparison of data collected nationally on fish tissue contamination that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has assembled shows that the quality of fish in Georgia is similar to that in surrounding southeastern states.
A variety of different fish species were tested for 43 separate contaminants, including metals, organic chemicals, and pesticides. Many of these contaminants did not appear in any fish. However, two contaminants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and mercury, were frequently detected in significant amounts in a few species from some bodies of water in Georgia. Three additional contaminants, chlordane, DDT residues (DDE/DDD), and dieldrin were also detected infrequently.

Krill Oil The New Omega-3
Posted by KiMaLi on Apr 18, 2013 | Verified Purchase
Krill oil is a very good source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. It has all of the benefits of your typical fish oils without those annoying "fish burps" coming to haunt you later on. Our "favorite TV Dr. Oz" highly recommends krill oil over the regular fish oils. It is said to be much better and more effective in a much smaller dosage. If you found my review to be helpful please click on the yes button. Remember to check out the daily and weekly specials.

Krill oil is a hyped product with inadequate research
Posted by Reviewer3343479 on Jul 14, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I have tried krill oil several times. It does the following things in a dose-dependent pattern: - Raises my heart rate after a few days - Causes mild discomfort in lower digestive tract - Is kind of invigorating for a few hours - this is because of the choline content. Claims are made that krill oil is absorbed better than fish oil, but there is no evidence to support this. The amount of astaxanthin in krill oil is trivial. One company, Neptune, is behind the push. I eventually gave up on it and returned to the excellent products made by Minami (available here at iherb) and OmegaBrite.

NKO is a product that I have realized is very important for my overall health. It is great for women's hormones and moods, and I am in the menopausal years. I ran out of it for three weeks last summer, and became very depressed. I did not think about the Krill. After starting it up again, I immediately felt alot better, after just two days. I asked my neurolink practitioner if this had anything to do with it, and he said "absolutely." I've been fine ever since. I'm amazed that this has had such an impact. I won't be running out of it again.

After suffering from joint pain for a while now, I decided to start taking Krill Oil to see if this would help. Well, it did, however, it did take a couple of weeks before I noticed a change. All of my joints were inflamed and causing me great pain. I really couldn't stand it any longer. Glad I stuck with the Krill Oil, but in all fairness I'm also taking Glutathione Reduced 500 and R-Lipoic Acid and the combo seems to be amazing. Cheers to your health!

I started taking them to reduce cholesterol. I cannot tolerate any of the statins (liver issues), and do think they induced some memory loss.
