How many of you were considered a tomboy growing up? I was for sure. I have my girly side, but I can hang with the guys anytime and have had a lot more guy friends than girl friends over the years.
It's a shame more women aren't into this. I have yet to come across another female hunter on any hunt I've been on so far, and I've been going with DH on his hunts for 8 years.

Courtesy of Columbus Crew
COLUMBUS — Due to inclement weather, Sunday's inaugural Kirk Urso Memorial Match in Greensboro, N.C. has been moved to the UNC Greensboro Soccer Stadium. The contest between the Columbus Crew and the University of North Carolina Men's Soccer Program was originally scheduled to be played at Macpherson Stadium in Browns Summit, but due to the amount of rain the area has received over the past two days, that surface is no longer playable. All other details of the match remain the same. Updated information is below.
WHAT: Inaugural Kirk Urso Memorial Match benefitting the Kirk Urso Memorial Fund
WHO: Columbus Crew vs. University of North Carolina
WHEN: Sunday, February 24 at 1:00 p.m. ET
WHERE: UNC Greensboro Stadium – 1408 Walker Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27403
DIRECTIONS: http://bit.ly/ZAehWm
All proceeds from the Black & Gold's match against UNC will benefit the Crew Soccer Foundation's Kirk Urso Memorial Fund. The Urso Fund was launched in late 2012 to support heart health research and programming in memory of the Crew midfielder who passed away at the age of 22 from a congenital heart defect last August.
Urso was originally selected by the Crew in the first round (No.10 overall) in the 2012 Supplemental Draft, and appeared in six games (five starts) with one assist last season before being sidelined by injury. He was a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he made four consecutive NCAA Men's College Cup Final Four appearances and captained the team to the 2011 NCAA National Championship. Urso was admired for his unwavering work ethic and steadfast character both on and off the field.
The match pits the Crew against Urso's college alma mater. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 on game day (the student price on game day will remain $10). Standard seating and lawn seating are both available, with all tickets serving as general admission. Tickets can be purchased by visitingTheCrew.com/UrsoFund, with donations for the Urso Fund accepted via the same URL. Additionally, there will be auction items at the match benefitting the Urso Fund, including: 2013 Columbus Crew team-signed items, UNC men's basketball tickets, a signed ball from U.S. Women's National Team legend Mia Hamm and more.
The Urso Memorial Match caps the Black & Gold's preseason camp following an 18-day trip to Orlando, Fla. for the Disney Pro Classic. The Crew begins the 2013 MLS regular season on March 2 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. against Chivas USA.

Thank you. I guess I learned the level of crudeness that cannot be tolerated. I tried. I learned. The next one will only be better. :-)

now let me buy this tee.
ok well how bout this one should have been rejected for using text? either way it should have been rejected.

Why is it that every incident of the combined letters B, O, and T turns into "gallavanting alpaca"?

Thanks Vik I appreciate that, it's not for everyone, but I don't think I went overboard or used unecessary amounts of shiny for no reason other then shiny . Thanks to everyone else too for their comments both positive and negative, I'll keep pluggin along
This is very cute. The coloring is outstanding too.
Don't think even incidental was allowed.
Also, word filters. Like O M G or Bowl of Cereal, B O T has become one of those W O R D S
I seriously just wished that the pulleys had been correctly configured to render the point accurately. I want to buy this shirt but because of the error I cant wear it around any of my physics classmates or I will be dreadfully made fun of...
you have a great sense of humor. I look forward to your future designs!
If you get this printed elsewhere let me know, I'd definitely be in for one!

Also they have little to nothing to do with nuclear physics, course the governments might have secret nuclear powered rifles, who knows. I feel the shirt would of been fine without it.
But it is still physics. A gun is possibly one of the greatest examples of numerous forms of physics combined in one device.
Re: Nuclear Physics
I really hope your shirt makes it! I'm sad to see night #2 with another shirt up there that isn't this one.
Yeah... your pulley is terribly wrong. I'd "I'd buy this shirt" if the pulleys were correctly done, but because it's not correctly nerdy--sorry.
C'mon, Woot, not only do you reject good design over shiny, cute stuff with a vengeance, you also misspell simple words doing it. Is it "too" much to ask for you "to" know the difference between "to" and "too"?
"To similar", seriously? Forgoing that error, this is not even *remotely* similar. That had a retro cat, this has a zombie, and no I don't mean that sarcastically.
Anyhow, feel bad for the artist, hard luck man. Please keep up the good work and don't go the glowy, bunny, mariokart/back to the future/dr. who/etc way

No worries. See, this incorrect pulley shirt exists in this dimension, where it did not place as is not for sale. In another dimension, the pulleys are correct and the shirt is for sale.

Woot's gonna do some honorable mentions sometime in the next two years. When those happen for this derby, they go into what's called a Double Take Derby, where they get another chance at life. And even if they don't win that, woot does a week (or two, i always prefer two) of editor's choices, and so that's like another 13 chances to print.
Plus the artist always can take it elsewhere once their period of waiting is up.
Darn... As a Roboticist in my day job, I would have loved to wear this shirt to the office!
Wished this shirt made the cut! Woulda bought it in a heartbeat--along with the black hole shirt.
Glad it got picked for an honorable mention! I am in for at least 1 if you print it! Go Woot!!
I STILL really want this shirt!!
I want this shirt soo bad! How can I buy it?
hagiasophia wrote:I want this shirt soo bad! How can I buy it?
This shirt actually won 3rd place in the derby and sold here. Unfortunately, it has been reckoned, which means it is no longer for sale. But you can always try these options for obtaining it. It might take a while (a long while), but if you're patient and persevere, you just may get it, eventually.

Cristian Castro
Born Cristian Sáenz Castro on December 8, 1974, in Mexico City, he is the son of two very popular Mexican entertainers, actress/singer Verónica Castro and comedian/actor Manuel Valdés (aka El Loco); he often refers to his mother as his top role model while for most of his life he has been estranged from his father. Castro made his performance debut at a young age, appearing alongside his mother in the telenovela El Derecho de Nacer in 1981. He continued to make television appearances throughout the remainder of the decade, acting in the series Jugemos a Cantar (1982), Herencia Maldita (1986), and Mi Segunda Madre (1989). Castro's singing career began in 1992 with "Agua Nueva." The first of four albums released by Fonovisa, "Agua Nueva" proved impressively successful, spawning the smash hit "No Podras," which went all the way to number three on the Hot Latin Tracks singles chart. A pair of follow-up singles, "Agua Nueva" and "Diez Mil Lagrimas," also charted but were only minor hits. His successive releases on Fonovisa -- Un Segundo en el Tiempo (1993), El Camino del Alma (1994), and El Deseo de Oir Tu Voz (1996) -- each spawned its share of hits, including the chart-toppers "Nunca Voy a Olvidarte," "Amarte a Ti," and "Amor," as well as the Top Ten hits "Con Tu Amor," "Mañana," "Azul Gris," "Esperándote," and "No Puedo Arrancarte de Mi."
Castro then switched from Fonovisa to BMG in 1997 for Lo Mejor de Mi without any hitmaking interruption, for the title track marked his fourth time topping the Hot Latin Tracks singles chart while "Si Tu Me Amaras" went Top Five. His successive albums on BMG -- Mi Vida sin Tu Amor (1999), Remixes (2000), "Azul" (2001), Amar Es (2003), and Hoy Quiero Soñar (2004) -- were similarly successful, adding additional hits to his catalog: "Azul" (number one); "Alguna Vez," "Mi Vida sin Tu Amor," "Por Amarte Asi," "Te Llamé," "Te Buscaria" (Top Three); "Volver a Amar" (Top Five); "Lloran las Rosas," "Yo Quería," "Con Ella," "No Hace Falta" (Top Ten), and "Lloviendo Estrellas" (Top 20). Plus, he wrote a 1998 Top Five duet for Olga Tañón, "Escondidos," on which he performed. During this eight-year tenure with BMG, Castro worked closely with producer Kike Santander and songwriter Rudy Pérez, a partnership that resulted in some of the best music of his career.
In 2005, Castro switched labels again, moving this time to Universal for Dias Felices, on which he collaborated with another super-producer, Cachorro López, who had recently helmed Julieta Venegas' commercial breakthrough, Sí (2004). The album spawned the biggest hit of his career to date, "Amor Eterno," a Hot Latin Tracks chart-topper that became his first single to crack the Billboard Hot 100, climbing all the way to number 78 despite its Spanish-language vocals. In 2007, Castro did something different and released a mariachi album, El Indomable, produced by the King of Rancheras Vicente Fernández. Understandably less successful than his usual Latin pop albums, El Indomable was nonetheless a respectable effort that spawned a pair of singles, "Tu Retirada" and "Te Sigo Queriendo," which performed best on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart. 2009's A.B. Quintanilla-produced El Culpable Soy Yo was another success, and included an appearance by his grandmother Socorro Castro on the song "Mi Bien Amada y Yo (Mi Bien Amada)," while 2010's chart-topping Viva el Príncipe saw Castro paying homage to Mexico's "Prince of Song" José José. Mi Amigo el Príncipe, another José José tribute album, arrived the following year. Castro left Universal Latin in 2013, returned to Sony, and released a live album titled Primera Fila. Dicen, Castro's first set of all-new material since 2009, followed in 2016. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Discussion in '2007 Playoffs' started by max, May 30, 2007.
They changed it from Three to Four Championship Drive after the Shock won the WNBA title.
Whoops, it's 5 Championship Drive, the Shock have two titles...CBill holding the Four sign was after the Pistons won in '04.
The Spurs Game 5 win over the Jazz was a clinic in execution. They dominated from the get go and made the Jazz look like a JV team. Amazing performance.
But the Shock have won the title twice..........So it should currently be "Five Championship Drive", but her Avatar says "4"..................... I'm seeing the smell, and hearing the taste of victory at the Palace.
Right, Nemo. See my other post that I put up before your latest.
One minute apart. Wow............
I am a new poster to the board, but read it religiously as lurker. I agree Anakin. I was just talking with my wife about this on the way home. It kind of drives home the analogy of studying. If the two teams could be compared to students, the Spurs are the A+ students. They study hard, and prepare ahead of time. They don't screw around. The Pistons, who are like me are procrastinators, I wait till the last minute, cause I feel I can turn it on and hopefully ace the paper or exam. I know its not good for me and perhaps I will get burned one day for it, but I do it cause I don't see the sense in doing the assignment ahead of time cause its boring, takes discipline, and its more exciting to do it at the last minute, you get this rush of snatching victory from defeat. Regardless, I really do hope we get game 5 tonight, cause we need it in the worst way.
I kinda see the Low as the Patron Saint of Dis-believers.
Please post often Vincy. Good anology. Well, right now the Pistons are at the brink of flunking this class, or recieving an incomplete. Tonight will tell us what grade they deserve.
Thanks Dlev. I will see if I can join you all in chat tonight, that is if I am not going crazy jumping back and forth between the computer and the TV.

Here's hoping that it goes to 6 Championship drive by the end of June and 7 Championship drive at the end of August Pistons. 2007 = ?? Shock:winner_first_h4h: :winner_first_h4h: 2007= :winner_first_h4h:??
Looking forward to a great game from the Pistons. We need to show some more urgency on the defensive end to set up some easy baskets on the offence. Stick in Dice and Jmax for some energy and let the starters rest a little more. Playing them for the whole first quarter doesnt seem to be working. Lets give them our best shot and we shoud be able to win this game easily. Lets play some basketball.......
With McDyess ejected looks like some other bigs may be called upon before the night is over. Dale Davis perhaps?
Thoughts as we go into halftime. I am glad we have a one point lead going into the half. We need it psychologically. I don't like the feel/flow of this game. Even when we were up 7-8 points I never felt secure. I don't feel like the Pistons are establishing any type of separation with the Cavs. The best I can describe it is that we were treading water, instead of really punching it to the floor. Maxiell is getting a lot of burn tonight because of McDyess. As expected Dale Davis is getting some burn as well. Nice to see the goon squad reunited for brief periods. Even though Webber has 11 points, I don't feel as if the points alone are contributing enough to our cause. Daniel Gibson is for real. The kid plays smart and keeps attacking the rim and knocks down the free throws. He is really being baptized under fire. I hope we get more separation in the 2nd half. Stay Tuned....
The Dice ejection was a biggie with flagrant 2. If the Pistons lose this one it will loom large, but if the Pistons win, the league may suspend Dice for game 6 just assure that this one goes seven. The other significant thing in the first half is that the Pistons had an 8 point lead and Mike Brown rolled the dice and kept Labron on the bench for 4.5 minutes and we gave up the lead instead of extending it out to double digits.
Hi Dre. Good point, I didn't think of that. I hope the league doesn't suspend McDyess from a game 6 but you never know.....
Deflated after this loss. Don't know what to say. Pistons gave away a winnable game. Series over.
Credit to LeBron for hitting some insane shots. No credit to the Pistons for getting beat by a one-man team. Call me a bandwagon-a#$ cat if you will, but I'm not sure I even want to watch Game 6 now...and I'm definitely not going to watch my usual ESPN shows, since they'll all be proclaiming LeBron as the arrival of the Messiah. I'm at least 90% sure that the season is over now. They can restore my faith with a win in Game 6, but I'm not counting on it.

The Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes and the bioluminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri have a symbiotic relationship.The bacteria Vibrio fischeri, resides on the bottom of the squid's mantle. Which is known as the squid's light organ.
The squid spends the days hiding under the sand in shallow waters. When night falls, it goes out hunting and the bacteria in its light organ emit light. This light enables the squid not to be spotted and hunted by its enemies among the other lights that exist at night. This symbiotic cooperation involves many other striking features besides the extraordinary communication between the squid and bacteria. Research on the effects of this bacteria on various tissues of the light organ has shown that a special form of tissue exists in the bacteria V. Fischeri in order to allow it to be settled on the light organ of the Hawaiian bobtail squid. Furthermore, the squid changes its shape to help the bacteria to inhabit on its own body thus providing it with a suitable environment for residence. (Garry Hamilton, Insider Trading, New Scientist, Vol 162, 26 June 1999, page 44)
Bacteria emits 30 metres of light
The existence of light is very critical for the angler as it hunts at night also. Light causes the angler to be spotted by its enemies and at the same time enables its preys to escape. That is why the angler tends to hide when the moonlight is at its most bright or when there is artificial light. When the angler is certain of darkness in the air, its sets out to search for prey. Its main helper in hunting its prey which consists of planktons and small shell fish, is its own light The angler's source of bright light, are the organs that exist just below its eyes. These organs are filled with bioluminescent bacteria that are nourished by oxygen and sugar available in the fish's blood. (Harun Yahya, The Microworld Miracle).
This fish is capable of switching its light on and off, and can turn it towards any direction when searching for prey. The light generated by bacteria is so powerful that it can spread to a visible distance of 30 metres. The light generated by a single angler is enough to illuminate a whole room. The light emitted from bacteria is so effective that even hours after the fish is hunted and killed, the light organ will still continue to shine. (Anita Ganeri, Creatures That Glow In The Dark, London ,1995 pg,120).
Smart flashlights concealed in the body
Another bacteria with similar capabilities is able to yield light for the pinecone fish. The pinecone fish derives its name from its overlapping scales that cover its body like an armor. Bacteria find themselves a suitable area in the body of this creature to dwell in. The facilities provided by the fish, aid the bacteria with food and shelter. And the light provided by the bacteria at night helps the fish to find its way and to be safe from its prey. A similar solidarity also exists between the bacteria and the ponyfish. At the back of the throat of the ponyfish, there are two light glands occupied by bacteria. The fish with the aid of the bacteria is able to make itself visible by switching itself on and off, and can be visible in the form of light when it necessitates.
It is useful to illustrate certain details mentioned with these few examples. "Thinking" it is beneficial for them to reside in the bodies of living beings, bacteria "choose" favorable creatures for themselves and is are able to produce changes in the structures of the creatures to accommodate themselves in their bodies. At the same time they protect the creature they are sheltered in, and provide several benefits for them. The light possessed by the squid is a big gain for it, as it is able to protect itself from dangers. The bacteria "takes into account" this opportunity, thus it acquires itself a house. After these intelligent processes, it should be clear that this organism appears to have the ability to contemplate (think). However, the organism in question is simply a bacteria. If we search for the source of this intelligence in a microscopic bacteria, then i'm afraid we will no doubt be frustrated. The existence of a "masterpiece" will always glorify the "mind" it is conceived by, in this case, God. These miniature organisms appear truly miraculous, in terms of consciousness. These are only a few proofs of Allah's superior intelligence and infinite power.
"Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Allah. Allah is the Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. If all the trees on earth were pens and all the sea, with seven more seas besides, was ink Allah's words still would not run dry. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise." (Surah Lokman, 26-27)

Air Refueling Wing members rally to help comrade's family
By JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent | March 06. 2014 8:29PM
U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. David Poirier shows children how to wear flight helmets as part of a community outreach at the Ilopango Air Show in San Salvador, El Salvador, on Jan. 27. Poirier died Feb. 28 while deployed to Qatar. (COURTESY)
Master Sgt. David L. Poirier, 52, who also worked as postmaster in Atkinson, died Feb. 28. He served as a member of the 157th's Operational Support Squadron.
"Master Sgt. Poirier will be sorely missed. He was a part of our unit for over 19 years and has been a mentor to many and a friend to all."
"We have not decided on a formal recognition yet, as we are focusing on supporting Master Sgt. Poirier's family," McCarthy said, noting two members of the wing have been specifically assigned to help the family.
"One of our unit members will escort him back to New Hampshire," McCarthy said.
Poirier, who was from North Smithfield, R.I., served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guam, Qatar, El Salvador and on other missions in New Hampshire many times, McCarthy said.
McCarthy said Poirier recently began a 120-day deployment to Southwest Asia.
During his career, Poirier has earned the Air Force Commendation Medal two times, campaign medals for Iraq, Afghanistan and the Global War on Terrorism and other awards, according to McCarthy.
"When I had the pleasure to speak with him, no matter how busy he was he was always personable and willing to help with any problem. I know that the town of Atkinson would like to extend its sincere sympathy to his wife and family. He will be missed by all."

Re: Best power tools?
Can't believe no one has mentioned Kobalt. My garage is the home of both Bosch and Kobalt lithium ion sets. Apart from using the Bosch impact driver (don't know how I ever lived without one), the Kobalt set is every bit as good, and has a lifetime warranty. No need to ship broken bits, just bring to Lowes and they replace.

Re: Best power tools?
As a project manager & electrician, I have had the best luck with Bosch cordless tools and Porter Cable corded power tools. Believeme my guys can tear stuff up, and these tools hold up well.

I paid $75 for it - I could have bought a Festool for several $hundred and I'm sure it would still be working fine but instead I bought a Makita for $49 on sale and it's still working fine.
There's no question that expensive tools are nicer and if you have a big budget, go for it but for the rest of us, moderate priced tools are more than adequate, as long as they are good enough to be accurate.
The best power tool I ever bought was a bottom of the line Rockwell 1/4" router. I bought it from a discount store 35 years ago, have built or restored 3 boats and a lot of other stuff with it and it's still going strong.
Re: Best power tools?
Hey Sailortrash
did we help you make up your mind
This is a story that goes back decades. Companies where here in the USA and Brand Loyalty meant US Jobs. But then jobs started going over seas an businesses started capitalizing on brand name recognition. They could build a cheaper product and sell it at the higher end price.
Toyota started getting imported to the US market and a cheap car gains a foothold and reputation to follow.
Honda and Nissan follows.
Now Hyundai.
All once considered cheap imported throwaway cars, but when people bought them they found that instead of getting 100 k out of a car they could get 300k. The American companies were forced to improve their lines or get pushed out of the market.
My FIL bought a 45 hp John Deere tractor a few years ago. He bought into the whole "nothing runs like a deere" line and paid good money for an "American Brand". The first year or two he used the dealer for everything and it was costing him. I told him the parts could be purchased cheaper so now we buy everything he needs online from Yanmar. I suspect in another 10 years that whole tractor will be blue. The parts are about 1/3 the cost of the ones that come painted green and yellow. Yanmar is a good tractor, but he paid a lot extra for the Green paint. John Deere doesn't actually make much except profits anymore.
How about Craftsman? Another well recognizable name with a long history in the USA. They are made by Techtronic Industries. The company who also make Milwaukee tools, Hoover Vacuums, Homelite power equipment, and Ryobi.
The old adage "you get what you pay for" isn't always true... sometimes you just get robbed.
Re: Best power tools?
DeWalt.....best value in tools, hands down.
Re: Best power tools?
For the occasional hole in just about anything except metal, there's always the old Yankee Push Drill. The new ones seem clunkier than the old ones, but either one does just fine making small holes in wood and plastic. No batteries, no power cords, and easily survives a dunking.

Re: Best power tools?
The Bosch Lithium Ion rechargeable system is excellent with the impact screw drive being a game changer.
I have a Bosch 10mm drill that has done a great job over 20 years of hard use.
If my bosch stuff was stolen tomorrow, I would go out and buy the same, its that simple.

Re: Best power tools?
Wow! It seems like a whole lot of people carry power tools around on their boats! My power tools come down to the boat when I am working on it, and go back into the garage when I am done!
I suppose if I was going to keep a drill on my boat it wouldn't be my best one, but I can't for the life of me think of why I would need a drill on board when I am sailing! Besides I don't have the space for all that stuff!

I also have a B&D orbital sander, a real old B&D jig saw, all of which have been on the boat for at least 6 years, and they all run just fine. I keep them clean, spray them with some WD-40 a couple times a year, then wrap them in an old T-shirt and place them in an open, plastic box. They've never let me down and I use every tool on a regular basis. I even take them home once in a while to fix things around the house. Why anyone would want a battery powered tool onboard a boat is beyond me. Let's be realistic - you need to charge those batteries and in order to do so you need an inverter. Just get a bigger inverter and forget about those expensive, battery-powered tools. You don't need them.
Good luck with whatever you decide upon,
For the record, I have no problem with good tools. I have so many tools, no exhageration, it is incredible. My pops was a custom cabinet maker (owned his own shop) and I have long been a believer of doing my own work and we have a large line of very good tools. Also, there is no one good maker of everything. Each manufacturer has there positives.
THat being said, you can buy a 110 drill or 110 jig saw(IMHO, the two best tools to have aboard not including a shopvac) for almost nothing. Drops in the water, so what? Curse and buy another one for almost nothing. Drop your $300 Dewalt XRT in the water and it will ruin your week... PLUS you gotta go buy another one. THen you have the weight and hassle of all the batteries and charging stations and when do you plug it in and, oh, by the way, you gotta have a inverter to plug them in to charge them to make your battery operated work!
My experience is just get a inverter and buy the 110 stuff. Plus, the torque on the 110 is typically if not always higher. Less space. Less weight. Less hassle. Less cost. More powerful. I would NOT, and did not reccomend this for remodeling or construction where battery operated are worth their weight in gold. But for a boat (exception gong up the mast), I don't see it worth it. Just so you know, I got a long enough cord to reach the top of my mast... but if it came to it, I'd go around begging to borrow a cordless.

Again, this isn't to replace a trainer, but in the interim.
A trick Woolf's trainer had me to do to work on my timing: using a tennis ball, let it drop as it hits the floor, mark the hit at the same time with yes. Once that was consistent, toss it up and let it hit the floor and mark at the hit. Sounds easy doesn't it?
Trplhazrd, first of all, it's apparent how hard you're trying to do the right thing, and I believe that with the proper resources your family can get this worked out. I also don't think anyone meant to flame.
The video was helpful, and I share my first impression with Bob, Wolfy, and several others. When I saw the dog at the end of the rope and your son jumping around just out of her reach, my first heart-response was "they're teasing her!" I know that was not the intention.
I have raised many puppies and currently have a 5 month old pup who is a real handful. But despite his challenges, I try to see him as a diamond in the rough, which he is. And I bet Syn is, too. Hang in there and pursue the best help you can, given the financial challenges, to which I can totally relate.
My take on this may not be helpful at all - What I see as a novice family with a limited budget (can't afford to buy a dog and can't afford to seek the help they need with the dog) ended up with a pup who has discovered how to get a lot of fun out of the family.
Whether the dog dislikes the smell of something in the house (perhaps new carpet? perhaps an appliance that isn't working just right?) or just really loves outdoors, the dog has put himself in charge. It appears the pup has the family buffaloed. And unfortunately, this may be fatal for the pup.
It's going to be very difficult to get this solved via the internet rather than getting help from someone in person who can help figure it out. It's so hard to say whether this is just a pup with a lot of drive and a total PIA or whether it is a dog that would be beyond tough for most of us or a dog that just isn't "right." I can't tell from the internet and I don't think anyone else here can either.
One caveat with the recommendation for corrections - sometimes this works the way you want, sometimes it just ramps the dog up more. (Some dogs like a fight - so you just don't engage in the fight.)
One hope - sometimes the light just goes off in their puppy brain - usually every 6 months.
I'm wishing the family and the pup the best for this.
|I agree that there's nothing wrong with using a prong collar (I have one too) but it's not going to help you very much if you don't know what to correct for, or know when to correct - because the timing has to be perfect for the dog to understand when she's doing something wrong. I honestly don't think OP has enough experience to make this a seamless transition from a somewhat wild to a well mannered puppy. Spending some money on a trainer now seems like the best solution to me, so that the puppy can mature with the correct boundaries in place, with the family all on one page in terms of what she's allowed to get away with, and using identical phrases for commands.

I didn't really see anyone flaming you, and hope if you do, just ignore, and take the advice , use what you can.
I think you will see a HUGE difference if you put a prong on her (and she will not hurt herself believe me, I've used one for training and they do not hurt themselves , use it correctly and it's 'self correcting'.)
Put her on a leash, and first walk her with it, let her get used to the 'self correction' if she pulls. I think you'll see a HUGE difference. Don't repeat commands..Start at the beginning,,have her sit, if she doesn't, do a quick pull/snap with the leash, work on simple basic commands like 'sit'..always TREAT her for doing GOOD.
Be on top of the 'game', expect the unexpected, you don't need to keep a tight hold on the leash with a prong, but be ready to 'correct' for jumping or even "thinking" of jumping, ..
You need to start over with your basics, because he is running 'amok', and now has to learn self control, what "is" and "is not" acceptable..Everybody has to be on board and keep to the plan.

IMO, you really need to get a decent trainer. Not so much because of the puppy, but because it's obvious that your family needs help to understand how to interact with your puppy in a healthy way. I'm not flaming you at all, and it's not an insult either - your family seems very nice and if you'd adopted a lab instead then you might have had an easier time of it, lol. My neighbor's lab was much easier to raise with the children than my GSD would have been! Whenever I had my puppy over to play with theirs, I had to be very careful with how the children interacted - because the breeds do bring different things to the table. You're not doing anything that an average family wouldn't do with their puppy, it's just that you're over your heads now with the behavior that's getting out of hand.
Please think about ways to shave some funds off the budget so that you can afford outside help. Your puppy is a wonderful little gal and deserves this. Now would be the time to do it. Good luck
|my boy diesel
one word could sum up your issues
to the rope tug toys
and discipline meaning teach her not punish
and control her space and movement with leash and appropriate prong
Trplhzrd, nobody is trying to be hurtful. You obviously realize there are some major issues with how you are training your dog, and asking for advice is also inviting potentially harsh criticism. Everyone wants the best possible outcome for you and your dog. It would be really helpful if you could post a new video showing you interacting with your dog, shot by someone else, with no soundtrack.

|I see a frustrated dog that is trying to communicate with you. Do you still use a laser light/flash light with the dog?

Well, there's the flaming I expected after my first book...
Please understand that I KNOW we're messing this up, we just can't seem to grasp how to fix it, which is why I spoke to my husband about re-homing her in the first place. NOT BECAUSE OF THE PUPPY, BECAUSE OF US. We are willing to do everything we can to try to fix what we've messed up, but we don't know how we messed up in the first place and can't afford a trainer or behaviorist.
THAT'S why I came here and posted in as much detail as I possibly could without anyone actually being here to see on a daily basis what we're doing, have tried, how we react, etc..
I am not angry or offended. I am frustrated at myself for not being able to fix US.
JakodaCD OA:
"I do NOT see a puppy being intentionally nasty aggressive,,he knows who he can get away with stuff with, and he's doing it because again, he "can".."
>> Yes! This!! My problem is I don't know how to stop it.
"Obviously what your doing isn't working"
>> THIS is an understatement and the exact reason I'm here.
"You have this completely backwards. Your reason for not using the prong is actually the reason for using a prong. Many dogs will choke themselves to the point of permanent physical damage with a flat or choke collar. The prong applies pressure evenly on the neck and in such a way that it's uncomfortable for the dog to pull hard. It's much safer for the dog and promotes better behaviour."
>> Through you guys and gals, I'm learning this difference and have started to look into the prong collar, though I'm still scared she'll hurt herself with it.
"Why is your son back tying the dog and spraying him with a hose? All the marks on your body look like over the top land shark type behavior with very poor bite inhibition."
>> My son didn't tie her back, I did when she bit me, He came out to try to calm her down because of whatever it is that "I" did that caused this. I agree on the land sharking behavior and poor bite inhibition, I just don't know how to fix it. Again, this is why I'm here.
"It would probably be a lot more helpful if you posted a video showing your personal interaction with the dog taken by another member of your family, without a soundtrack."
>> I am working on this. (you didn't like my song *gasp* <kidding>!!)
"What's up with circling all the bruises?"
>> Those were pics for the veterinarian, taken the way she asked me to so she could consult with a behaviorist at a local college that I can't afford to hire.
"I have 5 kids and I don't let any of them play with our puppy like that. They can tug or throw a ball. No "rough housing" with the puppy. They get plenty of quality time with Zoe inside in a calm environment. No taunting and no teasing. Both kids and dog have strict rules and anyone who doesn't want to listen comes inside when it comes to being in the yard together. "
>> Yes, this is how things are run around here now too. Except, as we're still working on the inside calm, it is outside.
my boy diesel:
This one hurt a bit, but is what I expected and I appreciate you being honest.
"find someone to teach you because puppy and dog 101 is beyond you and you need to go back and learn and then teach the puppy Puppy 101 then move on to dog 101 there are folks with dog sense and this family is lacking because she is a mess due to your mistakes"
>> Ouch, but yes.
"wondering if it was noted somewhere along the way where you are located?"
>> Yes, in my previous answer to you.
"I gotta say this first. I saw at the beginning of the video what looked like flashlight/lazer play."
>> It was an ice cube. We do know better than to use lasers or lights.
"I agree with Diane, this is a pup having fun - painful for you but he is having a ball - because he can."
>> Yes she is having a blast, and from these responses, we need to learn how to set the 'right' consequences.
Ok all answered, I hope I didn't piss anyone off too badly. I will keep trying to get a video of me with her specifically (without the sound track), Will hold off on the ecollar ( I DID NOT know this was a shock collar until I started looking at them, every one I had seen before this suggested it was a vibration, not shock!), look more into the prong collar (after I do a ton of research on how to use one), and continue to try squirreling away money for a trainer (for me) while I keep scouring these forums and trying to implement the things suggested all over. Going focus more on consequences now instead of bite inhibition, because that's what you guys see. She's too smart not to know how to be gentle we just haven't enforced it the right way I guess.
Last note: In that reply where I put the video I stated that we knew mistakes were made and we have fixed many of them. A few things I noticed you all saw (and we did too) was the the kids got her riled up instead of wearing her out by running with her, my son spraying her with the hose (that was suggested by the trainer whom I will be telling EVERYONE never to use), and the lack of consequences. I have to point out that:
1. These videos were two months ago when we first started to realize we were messing up.
2. The kids are not allowed to let her chase them anymore, though they can chase her in a constructive game of soccer where she is focused on the ball and if she gets too excited they are to stop and calm her down.
3. She does not get tied out or sprayed with the hose. period.
4. There are consequences in place, though from the responses I see I need to get video of those so you all can tell me which ones are counter productive and which ones to keep or where to change them. I just don't have video of them to show you yet. I'm working on it.
Thank you for the help and honesty (even the hurtful stuff) as we hope it will make us better puppy owners for our amazing puppy!

Maureen Dowd disputes several "facts"* in Game Change
According to New York Times public editor Clark Hoyt [1], Times columnist Maureen Dowd disputes much of what Game Change claims about her and David Geffen -- and says the book's authors, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, neither interviewed her nor checked all of their facts with her:
According to "Game Change," Dowd persuaded Geffen to give her an interview by telling him that, when it was over, if he did not want her to use it, she would not. She read the finished column [2] to Geffen, the book said, warned him it would be explosive and asked if he wanted to take back anything. If true, Dowd would, in effect, have surrendered editorial control to her source, an unacceptable situation.
The book also implied that Dowd attended a private $2,300-per-person Obama fund-raiser the following night. Afterward, it said, she was among a small group of 35 who "repaired to Geffen's mansion" for a dinner for the Obamas.
Dowd said it didn't happen that way. "I never gave David Geffen veto power over the column," she said. She said she did not read the column to him, warn him that it would be explosive or ask if he wanted to take back his words, and she did not attend the Hollywood fund-raising event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. She was a guest at the dinner later, she said, although the candidate's camp sought to have her barred.
Dowd said that, as is often her practice, she told Geffen which quotes she was using and checked them for accuracy and context. He had been unsure whether he wanted to say some of the things he told her but agreed to all of it, she said.
Geffen, who did not want to get embroiled in a controversy among journalists, would only say: "I don't think anyone imagines Maureen would allow anyone to edit her column. I certainly didn't."
Dowd said the authors did not interview her for the book but that Halperin called at some point to "check a few - but not all - of the details."
* The convoluted sourcing rules used by Halperin & Heilemann, in particular their bizarre explanation of how they came to quote Harry Reid, have inspired the derisive phrases "Halperin background [3]" and "Halperin deep background [4]." It may be time for "Halperin facts" -- things that might be true, but require blind faith in Mark Halperin.

Colour blindness
01/08/2012 , 2:10 PM by Jen Lacey
"It would be nearly impossible to do this job if I was colour blind," John Morrison said during his recent chat with Paul Martin.
You see radio studios are dominated by red and green lights and displays that indicate whether pieces of equipment are turned on and/or how loud they're pumping out audio.
Paul joined the show to talk about this condition which affects a person's ability to distinguish colours from each other.
As Professor of Clinical Ophthamology and Eye Health at the University of Sydney's Central Clinical School, he said that colour blindness affects about 5-10% of the population and it's mostly seen in men.

Sorry about the off-topic post, but I'm having an issue with one of my board shipments. I shipped one of my light boards to Germany on 4/9, and it has not arrived yet. Is there a way to find out where it is? I shipped USPS international priority mail, but the customs number doesn't provide any tracking.
Has anyone shipped to Germany before? How long doe it usually take?

Usually I do advance or pre vacation reading, particularly if my husband and I are traveling to a new area. We look through travel books for interesting sites at the destination and places to visit enroute. We often plan the route based on museums, historic sites, art galleries to visit along the way.
Last fall we took a big-for-us vacation: Santa Fe, New Mexico. We did our usual review of travel and history books in advance and made a plan to visit the many museums and art galleries in Santa Fe as well as Taos, various national parks and natural sites in the greater Santa Fe area. One day we went to Bandelier National Monument and nearby Los Alamos.
At Los Alamos we toured the science and history museums for an overview of the fascinating story of this once secret city, the scientists and their families, and the work of the weapons laboratory that developed the atomic bomb. I came home and wanted to read more about the human side of this city and project, not the technical details of the scientific research. I found the perfect book in our collection: 109 East Palace by Jennet Conant.
The book is loosely framed around Dorothy McKibbin, a young widow hired by Robert Oppenheimer, the civilian director of Los Alamos, to run the Santa Fe office. She greeted arrivals who, incredibly enough didn't know exactly where they were going or what they would be working on, dealt with the numerous challenges of their daily lives, and became the gatekeeper between the hidden world of Los Alamos and the outside world.
The focus is on the day-to-day experiences of those who worked there during the stress of World War II and the rush to develop the bomb to end the war. Some technical details add to the understanding but don't overpower the human side of this story. Especially interesting was the discussion among those involved of how the development and use of the bomb would change the post war world.
Even though I knew the outcome, of course, this book was still a page turner for me.

Hi everybody!
My problem is simple:
The air flow measured by the MAF suddenly drops for a second or two and eventually makes the engine die.
The MAF is not faulty (replaced with a new one and readings are consistent with the engine behavior).
The throttle body is not faulty (replaced with another one and position readings are consistent with engine behavior).
Thus, what is before the MAF and could make the airflow suddenly drop? Filter is clean.

COLLEGE STATION - Jake Matthews, a junior All-American offensive tackle for Texas A&M University, has announced he will return for his senior season. Matthews will be a top candidate for the Outland Trophy as well as the Lombardi Award in 2013.
"After careful consideration, much thought and prayer, I am happy to announce that I am returning to Texas A&M for my senior season," Matthews said from Nashville where he was enjoying time with his family. "There are a few things that really swayed my decision. Number one is the opportunity to play with my younger brother, Mike. (Mike will be a sophomore offensive lineman.) That opportunity doesn't come around very often. The college experience is also a great time and with our team coming back next season, I think we have the chance to be very special. I love playing for the 12th Man. Our fans are the greatest and the atmosphere at Kyle Field is outstanding."
Matthews started all 13 games and played right tackle earning first-team All-America honors by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) as well as second-team All-America honors from the Walter Camp Foundation and SI.com in 2012. He was a first-team All-SEC selection by the SEC Coaches, AP and EPSN.com and was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week for his play against Arkansas (Sept. 29). Matthews and his offensive teammates became the first unit to ever post 7,000 yards of total offense in the Southeastern Conference.
"I am excited that Jake has decided to come back for his senior season," Aggie head coach Kevin Sumlin said. "Not only because he is one of the top offensive lineman in the country, but because of his approach and his leadership in our locker room. We will move him from right tackle to the left side and I think he will have a great senior season."
Jake is the son of Carrie and Bruce Matthews, current offensive line coach for the Tennessee Titans and NFL Hall of Fame offensive lineman for the Houston Oilers and Titans. Jake's older brother, Kevin, was a two-year starter for the Aggies and currently plays with the Titans.
Matthews started the final seven games as a true freshman on the Texas A&M offensive line in 2010 and currently has a string of 33 straight starts along the offensive front.

Thierry Henry has today rejoined Arsenal on a short-term loan deal.
After negotiations between Arsenal, Henry, the New York Red Bulls and Major League Soccer, the striker will team up with the Gunners on a temporary basis during a period of fixtures in January and February that will see Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh depart for Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Henry, who made 370 appearances for the Club and is the Gunners' all-time leading goalscorer with 226 goals, has been maintaining his fitness at London Colney since November during the MLS off-season.
Speaking about the deal, Arsène Wenger, said: "I am very happy. It was my desire and Thierry's desire. We will have Thierry for January and in February. Then he will go back to the United States. I am sure during these two months he will be a massive asset to the team in the dressing room and on the pitch. He can be relaxed, not under too much pressure and be a tremendous help to the team."
Henry initially joined Arsenal from Juventus in August 1999. Arsène Wenger transformed Henry from a winger into one of the finest strikers in the world. He was an integral part of the 2003/04 'Invincibles' who went a whole season unbeaten and during his eight years at the Club between 1999 and 2007 he won two Premier League Championships, two FA Cups, the Premier League 'Golden Boot' on four occasions and the PFA Player of the Year twice. Fittingly, on 7th May 2006, he scored the last ever goal at Highbury.
In June 2007 he transferred to Barcelona where he won further honours, including a League, Cup and Champions League treble in 2009. In 2010, he joined the New York Red Bulls and helped them to the Eastern Conference title in his first season, as well as the pre-season Emirates Cup in July this year at Emirates Stadium.
In 2008, Henry was voted as the greatest Arsenal player of all-time in an extensive Arsenal.com poll of tens of thousands of Gunners fans from all over the world. In recognition of his outstanding contribution, the Club marked its recent 125th anniversary by unveiling a bronze statue of the Frenchman at the south east corner of Emirates Stadium, depicting his famous celebration after scoring against Tottenham Hotspur at Highbury in November 2002.
Henry has enjoyed similar success at international level, having won the 1998 World Cup, Euro 2000 and 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup. In October 2007, he surpassed Michel Platini's record to become France's all-time record goalscorer. Henry retired from international football after the 2010 World Cup.
After signing the loan deal, Henry said: "It is unreal to be honest. But when it comes to Arsenal my heart will always do the talking. Once I knew the plan behind it I was OK with it. I am not coming here to be a hero or prove anything. I am just coming here to help. People have to understand that. Marouane and Gervinho are going to the Africa Cup of Nations, so I was asked to fill in the gap. It is a loan deal and I'll be on the bench most of the time. If I can make the bench that is! The Boss has a team here already who are doing something good. I am just going to be part of the squad.
Henry continued: "I want to send a message to the fans of New York Red Bulls as well. I always said I would not play in Europe again. But it is hard for me when it comes to Arsenal. I am not coming here for the whole season, I will be back and I want to win the MLS Cup with the Red Bulls. I hope it is a win-win situation where I can help Arsenal and come back fit for the MLS season."
Thierry is scheduled to remain with Arsenal on loan throughout January and into February, when he will rejoin his New York Red Bulls team-mates in preparation for the new MLS season, which kicks off on March 10.
Thierry will be available for selection for the FA Cup Third Round match against Leeds United on Monday night.
Thierry will wear the No 12 shirt during his time back with the Club.
Born: 17 August 1977 (Les Ulis, Essonne, France)

DMAP provides optimal opportunities to manage deer populations through prescribed deer harvest. Region and Program biologists conduct habitat surveys on DMAP land and make deer habitat and harvest management recommendations to the cooperators. Physical data from harvested deer are collected by these cooperators and submitted to biologists for evaluation. Age, body weight, antler development, and lactation are the main focus of data collecting. Biologists examine these data and evaluate the growth and development of deer by age class. Growth and development trends are identified and used to make management recommendations regarding the herd. Individual cooperator reports are combined with those from the same parish to develop a regional perspective. Similarly, parish reports are combined into a state population report that is used in the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries' (LDWF) hunting regulations development process. Today there are over 700 cooperators participating in the DMAP program on approximately 1.6 million acres.
DMAP was initiated statewide during the 1981-82 deer hunting season in an effort to provide people who control at least 500 acres an additional opportunity to manage deer populations occurring on their land. Today there are 4 Tiers of DMAP that each provide a different level of technical assistance for the cooperator. Minimum acreage for DMAP in Tier 3 is 40 acres. Under DMAP, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Biologists work with participating hunting clubs and private landowners to accomplish their specific goals and objectives.
DMAP participants have improved age structures and sex ratios on enrolled properties. Many states in the southeast have found that 1-1/2 -year age class bucks account for 75% or more of the antlered buck harvest. In contrast, the 1-1/2- year old buck harvest on Louisiana DMAP lands in recent years has accounted for 20% or less of the antlered buck harvest and cooperators are harvesting more, older aged bucks.
Deer herds in balance with the habitat are another primary goal.
DMAP tags are issued to cooperators for use during the entire deer season. Hunters are able to harvest antlerless deer any day of the deer season as long as a DMAP antler-less tag is in possession of the hunter. Harvest quotas and strategies are recommended by biologists along with habitat management recommendations. Cooperators collect extensive physical data from deer harvested and biologists use this information to evaluate herd health and to make future recommendations.
Since its inception this program has been very successful. Many cooperators are participating in Quality Deer Management Programs and in recent years there has been a decline in the percent of young bucks harvested along with an increase in the number of adult bucks harvested by DMAP cooperators. Some southeastern states have had to establish mandatory antler regulations in order to achieve similar results.
