ISM Hits 3-Month High; Homebuilders Up
The ISM manufacturing index was modestly higher than expected, contributing to the risein market indexes.
The ISM rose to 50.9 in June from 49.0 in May. New orders index strengthened to 51.9 in June from 48.8 in May and the production index improved to 53.4 from 48.6. However, the employment index weakened to 48.7 from 50.1.
RDQ Economics writes that while the latest numbers show "the rebound was slightly greater than expected, the employment component pointed to a drop in manufacturing employment in June. Further, RDQ notes
"that manufacturing has only accounted for 7% of the growth in total employment over the last year." And it is "encouraging to see decent gains in both import and export orders. Prices paid by manufacturers also rose at the fastest pace in three months. This report and the May durable goods orders data hold out hope that manufacturing growth is beginning to pick up again."
Also on construction spending, RDQ writes that construction spending rose 0.5% in May, and April's originally reported 0.4% gain was revised to 0.1%. While the May number was lower than expected, it is a lagging indicator, and homebuilders were moving higher, strengthened by the broader market.
Hovnanian Enterprises (HOV) was the biggest mover, up 2.3% to $5.74. PulteGroup (PHM) and Beazer Homes (BZH) were each up 1.5%. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) is up nearly 2%. K.B. Homes (KBH), Lennar (LEN) and Toll Brothers (TOL) also were higher. Among names associated with home improvement: Home Depot (HD) sank slightly, but Lowe's (LOW) was up more than 1% and Sherwin-Williams (SHW) was up 2%. Writes RDQ:
"This is a lagging report on construction and housing activity that is most informative on current quarter spending trends (useful in estimating GDP growth) but casts little light on the outlook. It appears that residential investment will add modestly to GDP growth in the second quarter ... while private nonresidential investment looks to be about neutral. Government construction outlays also look to be about neutral for second-quarter."

AILA Doc. No. 12032265 | Dated April 2, 2014
Across America, millions of immigrants and their families, businesses, and communities-indeed our entire nation-are calling for immigration reform. Currently, an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants live and work in the United States. Most of them already have deep roots in this country, including strong family ties such as spouses, children, parents, or extended family. Poll after poll shows that two out of three American voters support legalizing the undocumented and providing a way for them to become citizens.
In today's debate, there is widespread agreement that deporting 11 million people makes no sense. Consensus is building that America must find a way to legalize the status of those who are undocumented and give them a real opportunity to apply for permanent residence, and ultimately citizenship if they choose. In fact, at least 30 Republicans and nearly all Democrats have taken the explicit position that any legalization plan must include citizenship. Denying a viable path to citizenship to people who legalize and make America their home would create an unacceptable second class and foster social division. As Rep. Jeff Denham, Republican from California puts it: that would be "un-American."
The Senate: S.744 - "The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act" (AILA Doc. No. 13041760.)
S. 744 sets forward a road to legalization and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigration living in the United States. S. 744 includes the following measures: confidentiality, legal review of denials, oversight, ability to travel outside the U.S., flexible application requirements, affordability and discretion. (AILA Doc. No. 13041760.)
The House Republican caucus' "Standards for Immigration Reform" issued in January 2014 says: "There will be no special path to citizenship for those who broke our nation's immigration laws-that would be unfair to those immigrants who have played by the rules and harmful to promoting the rule of law." (AILA Doc. No. 14013053.)
For those who are opposed to creating a "special path to citizenship," one solution would be to add more slots in the business and family visas categories for those who legalize, rather than create a new visa or path. This would be a workable option but only if the existing categories are expanded and defined sufficiently to ensure that everyone legalizing has the opportunity to apply for permanent status, and later citizenship. This approach would address concerns about creating a second class of people that never can obtain citizenship and also ensure fairness for those already waiting for a visa slot. To be successful, the changes to the system would need to clear the lengthy "backlogs" that already keep employment and family visas applicants waiting for years, and would need to address the various legal "bars" preventing undocumented immigrants from being able to legalize. This approach would necessarily include background checks, registration with the government, payment of any back taxes, and payment of fees.

What are the key decisions and tradeoffs you face as you design and develop enterprise applications? How do you build the back end so that it not only handles your current needs but is flexible enough to allow your system to evolve as your needs expand? Answer these questions and many more with Building Java Enterprise Applications, an advanced guide to building complex Java Enterprise Applications from the ground up that addresses design issues along the way. These practical books take a step back from detailed examination of the APIs and focus on the entire picture, so you can put the pieces together and build something that works!This book explores the infrastructure issues so important to good application design. It isn't just a book about doing things with Entity Beans, JDBC and JMS and JNDI. It takes you step by step through building the back end, designing the data store so that it gives you convenient access to the data your application needs; designing a directory; figuring out how to handle security and where to store security credentials you need; and so on. On top of this, it shows -- as easily as possible --how to build the entity bean layer that makes information available to the rest of the application.Throughout this guide, author Brett McLaughlin uses his wealth of real-world experience with enterprise development to show you one step at a time how to design and build a comprehensive enterprise application from the ground up, starting with the back end.
Brett McLaughlin has been working in computers since the Logo days. (Remember the little triangle?) He currently specializes in building application infrastructure using Java and Java-related technologies. He has spent the last several years implementing these infrastructures at Nextel Communications and Allegiance Telecom, Inc. Brett is one of the co-founders of the Java Apache project Turbine, which builds a reusable component architecture for web application development using Java servlets. He is also a contributor of the EJBoss project, an open source EJB application server, and Cocoon, an open source XML web-publishing engine. He is author of the soon-to-be-released O'Reilly book, Building Java Enterprise Applications.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Building Java Enterprise Applications Volume I: Architecture is a kangaroo rat. There are about 20 species of kangaroo rat (genus Dipodomys, family Heteromyidae) found in western North America. Some of these species are endangered. These small mammals are equipped with long, narrow feet that enable them to get about with long, strong hops. They can travel as far as two meters per hop. Their tufted tails, which are approximately as long as their bodies, are used as rudders. The forearms of kangaroo rats are so short that they often disappear within their fur. Most kangaroo rats have a color similar to the sand or soil of their environment, with black or white facial markings and two stripes running down the back. Albino kangaroo rats do occasionally appear. Like all of their relatives in the Heteromyidae family, kangaroo rats have large, fur-lined pouches in their cheeks into which they stuff food to carry back to their nests. They eat grass, plant greenery, and seeds. It is not uncommon to find evidence of a visit by a kangaroo rat in vegetable gardens. Remarkably, they are able to obtain all the water they need from the food that they eat. Kangaroo rats are able to live their entire lives without ever drinking water.Kangaroo rats are nocturnal animals. They tend to be antisocial and belligerent. Kangaroo rat fights frequently occur. During these fights they jump in the air and kick at each other with their powerful legs. Kicking, in this case kicking sand, also comes in handy when cornered by enemies such as rattlesnakes or coyotes. While the enemy has sand in its eyes, the kangaroo rat makes his hopping getaway.Kangaroo rats build their subterranean nests beneath small bushes or trees. They line the nests with leaves or grass, and build in numerous tunnels and escape outlets.

I found the book quite helpful. Unfortunately it seems like the other 2 books in the serie are never coming out. What a petty to "wait" almost two years and nothing seems to happen. Is there anybody out there who heard rumours about when Volume 2/3 is coming out ?

I like this book because it tell me how to use J2EE to design Application. In the book store we can find lots of books about the J2EE and EJB, which are realy enough for us to study the theory of them, but we can rarely get a book about how to use these new stuff, especially from the view of designer. This book tell the reader from the data layer to presentation layer absolutely necessary consideration when implementing application functions. I got lots from it.

This book helped me a lot to understand how J2EE to be used. After we learn j2ee and having a question what else to read, this will be the best bet. The book starts with an imaginary brokerage in need of computerization. The author starts with the explanation of the problem and continues with data modelling and directory service and usage of EJB and an example of JMS usage. The author illustrates various design considerations and pitfalls and keep changing the code to reflect newer design considerations. I am eager to see the other two volumes in the series.

Arsenal travel to Manchester to take on Manchester United on Saturday in what is shaping up to be a mouthwatering Premier League clash.
You can find out more about our opponents below.
Full name: Manchester United
Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson
Club colours: Red shirts, white shorts, black socks
Nickname(s): The Red Devils
Three facts about Manchester United:
- The club have been champions of England 19 times, which is more than any other club
- Last season was the first the club failed to win a trophy since 2004/05
- Sir Alex Ferguson has been manager at Old Trafford for over 26 years
Wayne Rooney
It's unbelievable to think that it's over 10 years ago that a 16-year-old called Wayne Rooney announced himself to the Premier League with a wonder goal against Arsenal, while still playing for Everton. Now firmly established as a world-class player, the England international has won almost everything in a Manchester United shirt. Arsène Wenger's defence will have to be alert to deal with the frontman on Saturday lunchtime.

Thomas Vermaelen has welcomed the news that Laurent Koscielny has extended his contract with Arsenal.
The France defender was one of Arsène Wenger's outstanding performers last term and put pen to paper on a new deal with the Club on Tuesday.
Vermaelen, who signed a contract extension in 2011, has struck up a fine understanding with Koscielny since returning from injury last October.
"I heard the news that Laurent extended his contract and I'm really happy," Vermaelen told a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
"From the start when he came to Arsenal he has shown he is a great player and he is developing really well. I think he has done everything for the Club already and I hope he will stay a few more years.
"Of course he is not here at the moment because he is not fit - he had a holiday because he played in the Euros. But he is a great player and I'm happy that he signed for the Club."
Vermaelen has been named captain for the Arsenal 2012 Tour, presented by Emirates, and it's a responsibility he is relishing.
"First of all I want to say that I am only captain for now," he said. "Last year I was vice-captain for Arsenal and I was really proud to be in that role for such a big club.
"I dreamed to play for this club and to play an important role as a vice-captain. It makes me really happy to help the players and help the team go forward and win trophies this year."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Looks like Nokia and Microsoft are going all-in with this one to try and make a dent in the US market.
You can pre-order it at Walmart now for $49 - http://www0-walmart.letstalk.com/pro...719&corpId=515
So for people that have tried WP7, how does it compare to iOS? Are the live tiles really that helpful and as big a deal as people make it out to be? Is it as user friendly and intuitive as iOS? Will the learning curve be steep if somebody wants to switch over from an iPhone?
Frankly I am tired of the stale iOS operating system and want to try something new. AT&T gives me upgrades every 18 months on average. So I guess I really could switch to the Nokia Lumia when it comes out (I am upgrade eligible now) and use it for the next year and a half. If I don't like it, I could always switch back to the iPhone and my next upgrade will coincide with the 7th gen iPhone.
Thoughts? I'd like to especially hear from folks who have switched to Windows Phone from iOS or Android.

The fireplace has long been an iconic symbol in American culture. "It takes us back to grandmother's house," says Carbondale, Colo.-based architect Doug Graybeal, AIA, "and it's better than television." But, setting aside our affinity for nostalgia, grandma's house was woefully short on energy efficiency, and her fireplace was a major source of the problem.
Today's higher standards for sustainability and energy efficiency are putting that much-loved hearth in a compromising position. "Fireplaces have a high aesthetic value, but they have a low environmental efficiency value," says Rick Harlan Schneider, AIA, principal, Inscape Studio, Washington, D.C. "They're often more trouble than they're worth."
Fireside Chat According to the California Environmental Protection Agency's Air Resources Board, most wood-burning fireplaces rob houses of heat because they draw air from the room and send it up the chimney. Along with their inefficiency, fireplaces contribute to indoor and outdoor air pollution. In 2004, the American Lung Association of California called wood smoke from fireplaces "the largest stationary source of air pollution in the Bay Area during [the] winter months."
That's not to say that fireplaces have fallen out of favor with architects. Indeed, they're as popular as ever. Graybeal is a huge fan—especially of efficient, heat-producing Rumford models—and Harlan Schneider still specifies them in his work. "In one project, we designed a fireplace for aesthetic value, but the chimney was designed to be a thermal mass," he says.
As Graybeal and Harlan Schneider's experiences demonstrate, fireplace-favoring architects concerned with energy efficiency do have options. Hearth & Home Technologies, Travis Industries, Lennox Hearth Products, and other manufacturers have developed a large and varied line of eco-friendly hearth products that offer the aesthetics of fire—and some of the warmth that goes with it.
Pellet stoves, for example, are among the cleanest-burning hearth products on the market. Available in freestanding or built-in models, these stoves burn biomass pellets made from recycled wood waste. "Pellet stoves are very efficient," says John Crouch, director of public affairs in the Citrus Heights, Calif., office of the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA). "The key to the system is that it burns a small internal fire." Pellet stoves also provide a fair amount of heat—anywhere from 25,000 BTUs to 60,000 BTUs per hour, Crouch says. Some even use clean-burning corn kernels and don't require a conventional chimney.
An EPA-approved wood-burning stove is another excellent alternative. According to the agency's Web site, EPA-certified wood stoves burn more efficiently than older, noncertified models because significantly less creosote builds up in their chimneys. EPA-certified stoves perform a slow, controlled burn by limiting the amount of combustion air, resulting in an air-to-fuel ratio of about 15:1. (By comparison, open wood-burning fireplaces typically have an air-to-fuel ratio of more than 50:1.) According to HPBA, wood stoves are excellent heat sources because they operate at rates of up to 70,000 BTUs per hour.
"Before I got into doing green houses, I loved fireplaces, because they are a very sculptural element in a room," says Paula Baker-Laporte, an architect and author on sustainable design practices based in Tesuque, N.M. Then she discovered more eco-friendly options, including Tulikivi fireplaces. According to their Finland-based manufacturer, Tulikivi thermal-mass fireplaces store large amounts of heat because they're made mostly of soapstone. They also burn wood so cleanly that they even outdo the strictest environmental codes. Baker-Laporte says she sometimes uses a mason to build a custom thermal-mass fireplace, but she'll substitute certified wood stoves when the budget is tight.

By Rodolfo el peruano
from Lima, Perú
Hello, first of all, I am Peruvian, excuse my bad English. I'm learning Javascript with three books, "The definitive guide", "Head First HTML5 programming," and "Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, 3rd Edition". I bought them in that order, and I'll take the latter, I am left with that, because it has a little of both worlds is a good book to learn step by step, and due to their level of complexity, it is also a great reference book . The way the chapters are organized seems optimal, I do still recommend to someone who is starting, and someone looking to improve their standard.

Hi there!
I am interested in teaching English abroad but I am massively overwhelmed with regards to the amount of different courses that are available to me. I graduated a couple of years ago now and have since been living in Oxford, employed full time in management. My contract for my house runs out in August so ideally I would like to be fully trained by then or at least starting my studies elsewhere (Barcelona, Prague, somewhere different). Once I have my training I was hoping to go out to either South Korea or Japan and teach there.
If anyone could provide any information with regards to TEFL, CELTA or TESOL and which one would be best suited it would be very much appreciated.

Hi everyone
It seems that more and more people that buy a jet pack from me ask if I can modify the bottom of the pack then add the greeblies along the bottom edge as I did with my own jet pack. I've scratch built a few sets of these over the last month or so and added them to the jet packs. I've now decided to made a set of master sculpts and make moulds which will allow me to make resin copies of these greeblies.
I've completed the three greeblies that are located within recess on the underside of the jet pack (PIC 1), now I just need to sculpt the two remaining greeblies that are visible on the underside of the AOSW jet pack (PIC 2).
If anyone's attempting to modify their jet pack and would like a set just let me know, I'll be making the moulds in the next few days.

My Toy Story
In the beginning, I was sent "generic" classic toys as rough templates. These classic designs go way back and in fact, cross cultural boundaries so it's safe to say many kids from all parts of the world grew up with various incarnations of these designs for many a decade. I had to photograph the designs, create detailed specs, redraw them and send these designs to the factory in China to confirm the feasability of the construction. Luckily, only minor tweeks were needed but it was great to know that the factory could realize my designs. Next came the colours. I wanted to create a palette that would be cohesive for all 6 designs. It was a huge undertaking for me because my idea of working with colour is to mix it first! I had to send them Pantone colours and this was hard for me as I am not used to working this way. I was extremely pleased with the sample prototypes and was good to go next on the box designs. Here are photos of the final product, my finished toys called Flip Floppy, Toy Monkey Trapeze, Ladder Fun, Peck Peck, Chalk-Draw, and Whirly. They are all made with non-toxic coatings.

Giants 26, 49ers 3: Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 116 yards and a touchdown while Lawrence Tynes kicked four field goals as visiting New York scored 26 unanswered points in the dominant victory.
Victor Cruz hauled in a touchdown pass for the Giants (4-2), who have won five of their last six regular-season meetings with the 49ers, including an overtime victory in last season's NFC Championship game.
After spotting San Francisco (4-2) a 3-0 lead late in the first quarter, New York took the lead for good less than five minutes into the second when Eli Manning hit Cruz over the middle for a 6-yard touchdown. Tynes kicked a 34-yard field goal later in the quarter to increase the advantage to 10-3.
Bradshaw scored on a 1-yard run early in the third and Tynes converted from 30 and 22 yards out before nine minutes had expired in the session for a commanding 23-3 lead. Tynes added a 32-yarder late in the fourth to cap the scoring.
Alex Smith completed 19 of 30 passes for 200 yards but had three interceptions for the 49ers, who outscored their opponents 79-3 over their previous two games.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Smith had not thrown more than one interception in a game since Oct. 10, 2010, against Philadelphia. ... Bradshaw eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark for the 10th time in his career. He became just the second running back to gain 100 yards against the 49ers in their last 44 games. ... Manning was 15-of-28 for 193 yards, ending his streak of consecutive 200-yard passing games at 24.

By Joe Brewin
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has hailed the atmosphere within the Arsenal squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
Arsène Wenger's men enjoyed a productive training camp in Germany, where the Club's three new summer signings were able to bed in with their team-mates.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is confident that the trio will all prove to be major assets - and not only on the pitch.
"In training I'm seeing the likes of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, and then we have Gervinho and Theo Walcott too, so it's looking really good," he told Arsenal Player. "That brings strong and healthy competition, which can only push us on to do well.
"But we also have a good time and we're all friends - we're together as one and looking to achieve the same goal at the end of the season. We all push ourselves to do better and that can only be a good thing.
"We are all fixed on success, everybody is pushing as hard as we can and we all know what our aims and goals are. We have had meetings about how we are going to achieve it and every little detail - physical, psychological - we are looking at. It is looking really positive for us."
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been delighted with the additions of Lukas Pdolski, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla, and believes they will hit the ground running.
"The new strikers are looking really good - I think Podolski has one of the best shots I've ever seen. Olivier's isn't too bad either, he's scoring a few in training!" the teeanger said.
"They all look like good signings. Santi looks fantastic too, he is the typical Spaniard; fantastic technically and lively. He can score, he can dribble and he looks like a brilliant player.
"They are three players who I can say will add quality to the team. And their personalities too - they are really good lads. We've been speaking about positive energy in the camp and they bring it in abundance."

Hepatitis (he-puh-TEYE-tuhs) means inflammation (swelling) of the liver. Hepatitis is most often caused by one of several viruses, which is why it is often called viral hepatitis. The most common types of viral hepatitis in the United States are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
This fact sheet focuses on viral hepatitis. You can learn more about other kinds of hepatitis from the National Library of Medicine.

Hepatitis is most often caused by one of several viruses, which is why it is often called viral hepatitis. The most common types of viral hepatitis in the United States are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
This fact sheet focuses on viral hepatitis. You can learn more about other kinds of hepatitis from the National Library of Medicine.
Some people with viral hepatitis have no signs of the infection. Symptoms, if they do appear, can include:
You can get hepatitis A by eating food or drinking water contaminated with feces (stool) from a person infected with the virus or by anal-oral contact. Some ways you can get this type of hepatitis include:
You can get hepatitis B if you come into contact with an infected person's:
The virus can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth.
Hepatitis C is also spread through contact with the blood of an infected person. This usually happens when people use contaminated needles to inject drugs.
This depends on your risk factors. Ask your doctor about testing if:
You can live with hepatitis C for a long time without knowing it, so it is important to discuss your risk with your doctor.
If you think you might have viral hepatitis, see your doctor. To diagnose your illness, your doctor will:
Hepatitis infections are diagnosed with blood tests that look for parts of the virus or antibodies your body makes in response to the virus.
Acute viral hepatitis is a short-term, viral infection. It happens when you first get infected with the virus and can be mild or severe. In some cases, acute infection leads to chronic infection. Chronic viral hepatitis is a long-lasting infection that can last a lifetime.
Hepatitis A only causes acute infection. Hepatitis viruses B and C can cause both acute and chronic infections. Chronic hepatitis B and C are serious health problems. They can lead to:
Viral hepatitis will often get better on its own after several weeks to several months. However, when hepatitis becomes a chronic or long-term illness, the infection may need to be treated with specific medications called antivirals.
If you think you have any type of viral hepatitis, talk to your doctor about what treatments may be right for you.
In the United States in 2007, there were an estimated:
An estimated 800,000 to 1.4 million people have chronic hepatitis B and 3.2 million people have chronic hepatitis C in the United States. Between 75 and 85 percent of people who get infected with the hepatitis C virus develop a chronic infection.
Below are the best methods for preventing the hepatitis viruses most commonly seen in the United States.
Hepatitis A prevention
Hepatitis B prevention
Hepatitis C prevention
If you are a health care or public safety worker, always follow routine barrier precautions and safely handle needles and other sharp objects.
If you are pregnant, your doctor will test your blood for hepatitis B. If you are an infected mother, your baby should be given hepatitis B immune globulin (H-BIG) and the hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours after birth. If you have chronic hepatitis B, make sure your babies get all of their hepatitis B shots in the first six months of life.
The hepatitis A vaccine is given in two doses, six to 18 months apart. The vaccine is recommended for:
The hepatitis B vaccine is usually given in three doses over six months. The vaccine is recommended for:
Only one series of the hepatitis A vaccine (two shots) and hepatitis B vaccine (three shots) is needed during a person's lifetime. Most people don't need a booster dose of either vaccine. But, if you have had hemodialysis (hee-moh-dy-AL-uh-suhs) (medical procedure to purify blood) or have a weakened immune system, your doctor might recommend a booster dose of the hepatitis B vaccine.
It is safe to visit someone with viral hepatitis. You cannot get hepatitis through casual contact. It is fine to shake hands with, hug, or kiss someone who is infected with any type of viral hepatitis.
During birth, blood from the mother gets inside the baby's body. If the mother has hepatitis B virus in her blood, her baby will likely become infected. But this can be prevented by having the baby receive all of the shots in the hepatitis B vaccine series. A very small number of babies get infected before birth.
Make sure your baby gets the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin (H-BIG) within 12 hours of birth. Your baby will need two or three more shots of vaccine over the next one to 15 months to help prevent hepatitis B. The timing and total number of shots will depend on the type of vaccine and baby's age and weight.
The vaccine is very important. More than 90 percent of babies who are exposed to the virus, but don't get the vaccine, develop chronic hepatitis B. Your baby should be tested after the last vaccine shot to make sure he or she is protected from the disease.
Yes, you can breastfeed your baby if you have hepatitis B. Make sure your baby gets the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin (H-BIG). Take good care of your nipples to prevent cracking and bleeding. If your nipples are cracking or bleeding, avoid nursing your baby on that breast until the sores heal. Until they heal, you can pump your milk to keep up your milk supply. But, you should throw away this pumped milk. Do not feed it to your baby.

Lots of Connecticutians 'round here, so let this be our thread of CT news, happenings, events, and other CT-related stuff. Got plans? Doing something interesting? Grew up in CT? First time visitor to CT? Stories? Pictures? Recommendations?
My thoughts on New Haven pizza -
(Although there's plenty of pizza places in New Haven, I usually narrow them down to the top 3)
Rule #1 - Get there as early as you can, or be prepared to wait in line outside.
Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana
(The man himself)
Long regarded as one of the best New Haven pizzas and one of the oldest pizzerias in the country, in recent years things have changed for the worse. Pepe's opened a separate holding company and franchised out, so you can now find Pepe's locations elsewhere in the state. The pizza pretty much sucks at these non-original locations, by original Pepe's standards. By any other pizza standards it's average. Fairly bland. Knowing this, I figured the original New Haven spot (aka "The Spot) probably hasn't lost the magic, but when I recently had pizza there, it was awful. Very little sauce, and what sauce was there was bland, dough-y crust....very disappointing. Reminded me of the franchise locations' pizza. This was sort of a sad day for me, because I grew up on Pepe's pizza and always loved it. You may be able to still get a good pie, but it might be a roll of the dice. If you want the sure thing though......
Sally's Apizza
Sally's and Pepe's are literally right down the street from each other, and there's always been a rivalry between fans of each pizza place. In fact, Sally's was opened by Frank Pepe's own nephew back in the 30's. Having also had Sally's pizza recently, I'm happy to say that the magic is still there....delicious pizza. If you want the best "New Haven pizza" experience, go here. It's awesome.
No matter which one you go to on Wooster Street, be sure to stop in Libby's Italian Pastry Shop afterwards for something. Awesome cannoils & Italian Ice.
Can't forget...
Modern Pizza
Although Modern Pizza is on State Street in New Haven, they crank out some really good pizza as well. I'd say they're right up there with Sally's.
Enough pizza talk.
A couple pics -
Lake Housatonic, Derby/Seymour/Oxford CT. My usual stomping ground. Always doing the late night booze cruise thing. If you ever hear a vuvuzela around here, it's probably me.
East Twin Lakes, Salisbury CT. Amazingly clear water. Awesome fishing. Go there, rent a boat from O'Hara's Landing for $50 for the day, and catch tons of fish. Going there tomorrow.
Connecticut ain't all that bad if you escape the concrete jungles and explore.

NFL Draft > 2010 Prospects > WR > Naaman Roosevelt
Naaman Roosevelt Scouting Report
|Buffalo Bulls
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'0 - 191 lbs.
2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Naaman Roosevelt, WR, Buffalo
Buffalo was known for its rushing attack thanks to James Starks, but the building process of the Bulls also included a dynamic receiver in Naaman Roosevelt. As a freshman, Roosevelt caught 31 passes for 429 yards and two touchdowns, but it was on a return where he really made his mark. He returned a bulk of kick-offs and punts for the Bulls and became the first player from Buffalo to return a kick-off for a touchdown since 1989. As a sophomore, Roosevelt continued to be a consistent returner, but also turned into the team's best receiving option by catching 63 passes for 766 yards and four scores. Roosevelt shattered the Bulls' record books in 2008. He caught 104 passes for 1,402 yards and 13 touchdowns -- all single season records at Buffalo. Through 11 games of the 2009 season, Roosevelt's numbers are not quite as impressive (mostly due to a new quarterback and the absence of a balanced attack because of the injury to Starks). However, Roosevelt still has 70 catches for 954 yards and nine touchdowns. Roosevelt does not have the size to be a number one receiver in the NFL; even listed at 6-0 and 191 pounds might be a little generous. What Roosevelt can be is a great slot receiver who has a ton of speed. A year or two in the weight room will help too, but he should be a decent mid-round selection.

Really- that is a beautiful looking pup!
Get her checked by a vet for a puppy wellness visit. Has she any shots or treatments thus far by you or the breeder? Start her file or binder on her health and keep observations of her written down here.
You may want to get her into a puppy training class right away. OR she may be the kind of dog that will only bond and be interested in you and your family to the exclusion of other humans and dogs. This is fine too. No matter what, YOU NEED TO TRAIN YOUR DOG TO BE OBEDIENT so that her behavior is never a menace in the future. Consider this your mission.
Do not FORCE her to socialize with people or dogs as this could counter your intentions. Introduce her incrementally to situations for socialization. Try to allow her to approach people or dogs off of your property to begin with. Some gsds are very territorial from an extremely early age.
|David Taggart
|Everything is normal. She can be shy, because she is young to stand for herself, aquire a blocking posture between her and other dog by crouching slightly in fron of her. But, do not pet ( nothing rewarding for fearful behaviour), just try to calm her with loving low voice. Try to find a puppy park, or someone with a puppy of her age. Puppy behaviour is different from grown up dog, though a friendly small breed could be good too. Be afraid of her being abused by adult dogs before she's 6-7 months, like in children, early experience stays for life. It is characteristic to GSD to be unsure of strangers, especially in their own house, do not let strangers to pet her on her head - a hand stretched forward and a look straight into eyes both are signs of agression for dogs, they read it differently than us, the primates. Take her to busy places, like parks, you can walk her through the shopping centre. Don't be afraid to do that time to time, she wouldn't be scared if she cannot concentrate on anything in particular. Say "Sorry" to people who want to touch her. That are exactly isolated objects she can see avvancing or in the distance would appear dangerous for her. She doesn't like to walk because walks are associated with fear. Introduce pleasure into walks: do not feed before walking, take some tasty treats with you. Make her busy instead of just walking ("Sit", "Down", "Come" on a long 6 feet leash, "Look at me" - and always reward). Get a good ball for her http://www.amazon.com/ChuckIt-Medium-Ultra-2-5-Inch-2-Pack/dp/B000F4AVPA and for your night play http://www.amazon.com/Chuckit-Medium-Glow-2-5-Inch-1-Pack/dp/B001B4TV2W When you start noticing that she gains some confidence, ask her "Do you want walky?" before you start dressing. It is important to keep a record on her, start writing a diary on your puppy. Specify in words her reactions, her responses to rewards from the very start of her training, you would be very thankful to yourself for doing it, without looking back it is very difficult sometimes to estimate the progress. And, it is not too early to start Obedience Classes for her socializing with humans and other dogs. They will tell you how to socialize her with children, cats and other animals.
Great looking pup and good for you for saving her from an isolated garage.
Wish I had some solid advice...but I usually just shoot from the hip with questions like this....getting the once over by the vet sounds like a good idea and so does the class enrollment. I was always led to believe pups need to meet the world at a young age, experiencing what they will be dealing with on a daily basis for years to come and the key is to teach the dog to deal with the world with confidence. I also have this notion that a savvy confident guide/leader introducing the pup to the world is somewhat paramount. I'd bet your dog is going to really come to love you being her confident leader. I also know it's easy to screw up at times, since I did....but as I always like to say .." ever time I am wrong, I have an opportunity to become one bit smarter if I choose". There is a world of info out there which is available on your situation and it's great that it is there....a great example is this forum. I will assume some folks who have great understanding of this type of situation you describe will post and help you get started.
By the way your pup looks awesome,
|Such a pretty Sable! I'd get vet work done (if needed) and then enroll in the next available training class you can find that's reputable.
Sweet pup!
Have you had her checked out by vet?
Few questions about my puppy - first time shepherd owner

My last two dogs i had from pups at around 8 weeks, however after my last dog passing away at the age of 16, i decided to get another dog, A friend who was doing some development work locally told me of some pups, I went to view and fell in love with the last pup
She was 13/14 weeks old, such a cute little girl, and decided to take her home, the problem was she was living in the garage and was so shy, didnt have contact with other people and dogs.
I have had her 2 weeks now, and she has settled in really well at home and follows me like a shadow. She is eating great (raw diet) however I have found shes really shy and scared. She is shy and scared of people, distracted by the sound of cars etc.. she is great with my girlfriend, but not our friends, like to growl and bark, she doesnt seem interested in walks and she sleeps a lot. I guess just being patient will solve it all, and guesing its hjust a phases shes going through? anyone experianced the same
