The Confederation of European War Veterans(CEAC) passed a statement drawn up by the Estonian Frontline Soldier's Association in which the two regimes of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were equalized in terms of brutality and oppression. The statement received unanimous agreement and were sent on to the European Parliament. Estonian soldiers fought both for the Soviet Union and for Nazi Germany. The Defense Minister of Estonia noted: "Estonia and its men fought on both sides of the frontline not for communism or fascism, but against both of them."
The complex ethical and moral issues raised by World War II may appear distant from contemporary societies, but they must be addressed. To claim Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in World War II were equal in threats to humanity is a complete misreading of history. Nazi Germany launched attacks on Poland and Western Europe with the intention of gaining complete control of Europe and then most of the world. The Soviet Union piggy backed on the German invasion and took control of eastern Poland and then of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. But, there never was any Soviet Union plan to attack nations of western Europe. There was no Soviet equivalent of the Holocaust in which Nazi Germany intended to kill every Jew they could find as well as Gypsies and Gays. There may have been communist rhetoric about overthrowing capitalism, but the words were never translated into action. Nazi Germany was the threat to human existence and during World War II its forces killed over thirty million people.
The Soviet Union acted in brutal ways toward the people of Estonia, but to equate that behavior with the threat of Nazi Germany to the peace and security of the world is not in accord with history. The Defense Minister of Estonia fails to mention in his statement that Estonian troops assisted the Nazi German murder of thousands of innocent Jews. Estonian soldiers who fought in the Red Army did not kill Jews.

I'm looking to do a few costumes, besides Boba & Jango, I have not seen a Jodo Kast.
So I am thinking of starting one. My only issue is that I have no good ref pics for a paint scheme to do him.
So if he is 501 Approved, is it possible for someone to send me pictures or a link to see what needs to be done to create him.

I wasn't aware of that .
See if someone approached me with those terms I ask for that person to be involved , before the pup leaves my place "if" .
One of those it seemed like a good idea at the time. ?

other family members might be putting pressure on , making the situation all too clear , may not even want a dog , or are also limited in time and interest or ability to pick up the slack.
there may be friction . there may be resentment that what teeny time there is , the dog gets, while you have kids or a frazzled partner also asking for some of that time.
OP, many people find themselves in the same situation - they remember growing up with GSDs, and cant wait to get their own when they are settle and have a home. Once the new puppy arrives, the demands of raising a dog from a working breed is quite overwhelming.
When people say they thought they'd be ready for a GSD pup because they grew up with dogs, that is like me saying that I grew up in an area of cold, snowy winters, so after living in more temperate, coastal areas, moving to Northern BC is not a big deal - I like winter!
Yeah, I liked it as a kid - have great memories of playing in the snow, making snow caves, sledding, going skiing.
As an adult, winter also means: dealing with cars that won't start, paying big bucks for winter tires, dealing with clearing the driveway from ridiculous amounts of snow, frozen pipes, splitting, stacking and carrying firewood, and white-knuckle commutes on icy roads with blinding, blowing snow.
Somehow, the winters now-a-days don't live up to my childhood memories.
The point is, that the realities of various situations can be a far-cry from our childhood experiences and point-of-view.
|I do agree that both partners in a dog/ human relationship have to be happy, but as someone who was not always happy with a much improved dog, who toughed it out and ended up with a very deep bond, I felt the need to encourage the frustrated OP.
I quoted your post because the advice was bad !
The man is barely hanging on as it is . There are things we all sacrifice , but being a martyr isn't good . Dogs sense the genuine feelings you have. This has to be a rewarding experience that enhances not only the dogs existence but also that of the person who has and cares for the dog.
|I was a little confused because you quoted my post so I didn't know if you were referring to me:-)
"you" is obviously the OP , clear especially since I lifted part of his post from page one which states he is the dad to two young children, holds a full time job as IT , and is a DJ -- two kids , two jobs.
not in any thread did anyone suggest that you, glowingtoadfly, need or should return them to the breeder . The suggestions to you were to communicate with the breeder to get them on board in ensuring success with the dogs , and for you to review your training also to ensure success with the dogs.
Originally Posted by carmspack View Post

I have no idea what a pedigree analysis from the breeder or anyone else would benefit.
They have the dog . They , like you, have to deal with the dog that they have , the situation, the compatibility of the match (or not) , time available . Perhaps the OP is not in a position to commit to any pup or dog at this moment and would be better positioned to take one on in a few years .
Obviously they are trying , getting up with that frequency and loosing precious sleep. That has got to take its toll on other daily demands, family, work, dwindling social life.
I would contact the breeder and communicate your situation. Have them find a more suitable home.
This does not make you a failure.
This does move this situation into a win , win . The dog wins with a better future life . Positive and possibly beneficial in a larger scheme of things . Win for you because you can get your life-balance back and next time round use this experience in choosing a dog suited to you .
|I read this thread again this morning and I thought it would be best if I took my own dog out for a walk and just about 12 weeks I got her up close to 40 minutes she found a pinecone this morning and started barking at it and by the end of the training session she was carrying the pinecone around in her mouth . It occurred to me while I was walking when I got my first German Shepherd in 1987 and then another one and then had a puppy that I kept from one of Veronika'a litters that there was no Internet and the only way that I could correspond was through the breeder through education . This is both fortunate and unfortunate all the same time !

People who use and promote free software cite various reasons for their choice, but do those reasons tell the whole story? If, as a community, we want free software to continue to grow in popularity, especially in the mainstream, we should understand better the true reasons for choosing it—especially our own.

Google and others have just proposed that DNS be extended. If DNS is going to be changed in such a minor way, why not do something much more useful and interesting, which has a fully-functioning implementation already in prevalent use for over fifteen years on millions of free software systems? Why not make the DNS protocol a true server-independent peer-to-peer Naming Service? In combination with the modern DNSSEC extensions, many of the complaints associated with the current peer-to-peer free software implementation would vanish.
In applying for jobs and contract opportunities, the first hurdle is the request for a CV in a proprietary document format. ASCII text, the utmost basic of file formats, defeats many stupid employers and recruitment agencies. Whilst this is useful to help weed out working for companies with stupid people in them, it doesn't help in actually getting work.
The approach which has actually had far greater success, however, in getting companies to change their policy of using proprietary document formats is to explain clearly that the "online application form" contravenes "Equal Opportunities" legislation. This article describes the approaches taken and the success stories, one at a time, by which the proprietary document format practices have been successfully changed.

I have felt called to my Duty several times in my career. I have never regretted performing it, but doing so has been a heavy burden, as it always came at great cost. This is one of those times - I will explain in the next essay I publish just why.
November 1, 2005
My father Charless Russell Crawford was an engineer too, an electrical engineer. Once a carpenter, he was inspired to enlist in the Navy one snowy evening while roofing a house, when he struck his thumb real hard with a hammer. The Navy sensed my father's potential for leadership and sent him to study at the University of Idaho, where he met my mother Patricia Ann Speelmon. My sister was born while they were still students. After graduation, he went on to Officer Candidate School and was given his commission. The telegram with news of my birth took two weeks to reach him: he was deep in the Phillipine jungle getting trained in survival, as the Vietnam War was just then heating up: the year was 1964. My father's engineering specialty was antiaircraft missile electronics: guidance and control systems.
The lesson my father taught me, a lesson I only now, as I speak, realize for the first time I was ever taught, is to Do My Duty. You already know my father did his for his country. I want you to know that he did his duty to his family as a husband, father and provider, and he did it well. He did his duty as a teacher too: I learned science and engineering at my father's knee, as we worked on projects together. Once we had a contest to see who could make a working telephone from stuff found lying around the house.
Engineers have other Masters who demand duty of us: our profession, our conscience, those who invest in, purchase or use what we design, our coworkers, and the public.
Listen to me carefully, and never forget what I'm about to say. I want all of you to spend some time thinking it over deeply, then I want you to discuss it among yourselves:
The Internet is a tool to connect people, to empower them to share information and knowledge. Through increased communication, one person's contribution becomes everyone's gain. Through the power of collaboration, many minds can achieve what one person alone could not. It sounds like either a recipe for a Utopia or for a nightmare, which starkly reminds us that with great power comes great responsibility. And it's our right to be given the choice, to take advantage of the opportunity that the Internet represents. But there is something happening to the "InterWeb": the tracks are being ripped up. Mandelson in the UK. "3 Strikes" in France. Fascist Censorship in Australia. Phorm. Net Neutrality. The Pirate Bay attacks. The RIAA. The DMCA. There's a recurring and accelerating theme of attacks, which have accelerated over the past ten years, to attempt to control what can and cannot be done with the Internet, that is beginning to blur with Science Fiction predictions from well-renowed authors. The question is: why? What's the driving force, and what motivates these attacks, when, mathematically and statistically, they are simply impossible, leaving an alienated populace feeling threatened by and distrusting their Governments, just like in China, Iran and other "Regimes" which we believe that we are "better than"?

Daily Caller Launches Bogus Attack On Homeland Security Staffers
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
The Daily Caller's Matthew Boyle is claiming that the Department of Homeland Security has hired "at least four senior staffers and advisers" with "no law enforcement experience into senior law enforcement positions." Boyle went so far as to call them "mini-czars" in a tweet. But the individuals Boyle targeted either do not hold senior positions at DHS or are not involved in law enforcement. By contrast, former President George W. Bush appointed people who lacked relevant experience to head agencies that are currently within DHS.
Boyle attacked the experience of four current or former DHS staffers: Jordan Grossman, Vladimir Skoric, Chris Stelmarski, and Nate Snyder.
Skoric, who began his civil service career in 2008 during the Bush administration, is a special assistant to the deputy under secretary for cybersecurity. In 2011, Skoric was listed as being compensated at a "GS-11" rate, which translates to a mid-level civil service position.
Stelmarski, who came to DHS in 2010, describes his position as "digital strategy." In 2011, he was compensated at the "GS-9" rate, an even lower level than Skoric.
Snyder, who started at DHS in 2009 as a deputy White House liaison, is a special advisor for community partnership and strategic engagement. In 2011, Snyder was compensated at a GS-14 level, higher than Skoric or Stelmaski, but not at the level of the Senior Executive Service, which constitutes the top-level federal civil servants.
And Grossman, who has since left DHS to attend Harvard Law School, was a special advisor and deputy to the deputy chief of staff.
In contrast to the individuals that Boyle identified, Bush really did appoint people without relevant experience to top positions at DHS.
For instance, in 2006, Bush recess appointed Julie Myers to head the Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau at the DHS, despite the fact that, as The Washington Post reported, she had "little immigration or customs experience."
And in 2003, Bush appointed Michael Brown as director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which merged with DHS that year.
Brown's official biography stated:
Prior to joining FEMA he practiced law in Colorado and Oklahoma, where he served as a bar examiner on ethics and professional responsibility for the Oklahoma Supreme Court and as a hearing examiner for the Colorado Supreme Court. He had been appointed as a special prosecutor in police disciplinary matters. While attending law school he was appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee of the Oklahoma Legislature as the Finance Committee Staff Director, where he oversaw state fiscal issues. His background in state and local government also includes serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight and as a city councilman.
But Time magazine reported that Brown's supposed "emergency services oversight" experience occurred in Edmond, OK, and Brown was not an "assistant city manager," but rather "an 'assistant to the city manager,' " which was "more like an intern."
Indeed, according to The Boston Herald (via Nexis), "before joining the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a deputy director in 2001," Brown "had no significant experience that would have qualified him for the position." The Herald further reported that "before joining the Bush administration in 2001, Brown spent 11 years as the commissioner of judges and stewards for the International Arabian Horse Association, a breeders' and horse-show organization based in Colorado."

Not all the new ideas are destined to be part of Ancestry.com. "The projects we place in this area are likely to be early prototypes, and although some of them may make their way into the main Ancestry.com site, some may not," according to the company's announcement.
Person View, the first Ancestry Labs project, includes two components:
You may remember a dustup over the similar Internet Biographical Collection, which was pulled down shortly after its introduction in August 2007 amid copyright and other concerns. That collection cached web pages' content and displayed the results on Ancestry.com, so the compiler missed out on credit and the traffic.
Ancestry.com hopes to avoid those mistakes with Web Records by linking to the source site and making it easy for webmasters to opt out of being in search results.
You'll see just the first 10 matches to your search. It simplifies your results, but the algorithm can make mistakes by grouping together records for two different people, or displaying one person as different people.

Tracey Niemotko (left, and right center), associate professor of
accounting, was the keynote speaker during Academic Investiture at
Mount Saint Mary College. Niemotko, who joined the Mount faculty in
2009, shared her story of being raised by an immigrant family. The
appreciation instilled in her regarding the opportunity to receive
an education helped make her a thankful person and yielded a better
quality of life and a desire to give back to her community. She
encouraged the students to do likewise: "be the best you can be."
Niemotko said a college education is a process for building self
confidence in abilities which allow students to develop a workplace
attitude that "can get the job done." Seated next to her is Fr.
Kevin Mackin, OFM, president of Mount Saint Mary College, and
freshman class president, Mary Bocskocsky, an English/education
major from Mohegan Lake, NY. Niemotko is a member of the New York
State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA) and the
president-elect of the mid-Hudson chapter beginning in July. She
was awarded the 2012 NYSSCPA Dr. Emanuel Saxe Outstanding CPA in
Education Award. An author, she has researched business ethics and
the law, and international business. She will lecture this spring
at the University of Volgograd in Russia. Niemotko has taught
accounting full time for over 25 years. She holds a juris doctor
degree from Fordham University School of Law. She is a licensed

My girlfriend's Lexus IS250 has terrible black stains on the wheels. I asked her when the stains appeared and of course she has no clue. Asked her if it was after she took her car to get washed and she had no idea.
I tried to remove with Mother's Mag polish, clay bar and detailer spray, and bug and tar remover with no luck.
Can anyone suggest something to try and remove these stains?

Anyone got good pics of the buckles on his holsters?
Printable View
Anyone got good pics of the buckles on his holsters?
I havn't seen any real good pics, but from what I did see, it looks like they used D-rings and leather bands instead of buckles. That's what I went with.
I used D-rings on the center part that goes through the cod piece & leather belt keepers on the inside leg extensions. The leather strap is held in place by these things. I think they may be called post hole keepers but I am not 100% sure. Anyway, they push through the hole and are threaded to fasten the strap securely. I also used these on the holster and where the rear strap meets the belt so they swivel & are not locked in place like they would have if I had used rivets.
Where did you get those BBToys?
You can buy them at a Saddlery & Tack shop. It was hard for me to find plain ones, most have a shamrock design stamped on them.
You can also get them at Home Depot or Lowes in the fastener section.They come in several different sizes.I think they are calle "Aluminum post screws".They come in handy for alot of things.
These ones are nickle plated or stainless steel, not sure which.
Was in Home Depot today & these things are called 'Chicago Screws'. The ones they had were aluminum like Pantera had said.
There is a leather glue available that I have used in the past. It works pretty good and I think is only $3.99. Here is a link.
I used it for my pouches but am not sure how well it would hold up on the actual holster though. Worth a shot if you don't have access to a leather sewing machine.
In another thread there was talk of using the rubies holster as a template. I have yet to see these in person so I don't know how accurate they are. I may pick up a set just for that purpose, at least it will give you some type of base to start. Anybody got these already?
I was also thinking of making the pouches one large container great place to store Radio shacks voice amp and other things. I don't know if that is possible but it was a good thought.
Don't be afraid to break up the radio shack amp. The housing is probably a little too big for the pouches, but you can easily take the cover off. Then you can place the amp in one pouch, the speaker in another (just extend the cable).
This may sound trivial, but how does everyone attatch the little metal part on the gun belt (the one that connects to the two straps from the holsters) to the cod? I have used industrial Velcro because I want to keep the pieces separate. The obvious way is to bolt or rivet the metal piece to the cod; but anyone have suggestions on a way to make them not so "perminent"?
On my new belt, I made the connector plate with an extra long backing plate that gets screwed to the belt. I used chicago screws for a finished look & they are hidden in the inside middle pocket.
If your making belts/holsters, you need to go with a saddle weight leather, no less than 10 oz. Can't help ya with the templates yet tho. The rubies holsters may provide a decent template. If anyone has em, seam rip'em, scan em, and let us have em.
Where did you get the ball stud closures? And you wouldn't happen to have a pattern for the holsters would ya?
I found the ball stud closures at Heritan Leather which used to be affiliated with Tandy, so you could try Tandy. I don't have a holster pattern. Each component is slightly different from one to the next due to the irregularities present in a natural material. Just form your holster to fit a 1 1/2" dia dowel & cut to length depending on the type of the pistols you use.
It may not be a heavy enough weightfor the true realist, but a good source of cheap leather which is relatively easy to work with is to hit the thrift stores, and look for a leather coat which is the right shade of brown. If you can't find the exact shade, you can get close enough and change the color with shoe polish. I got two coats- a longish brown one which supplied more than enough leather for the pouches, belts, and holsters; and a charcoal grey one which I cut and restitched into a vest. They were $4.99 each.
Just wanted to correct an earlier post I made about leather weights for the holsters. Go for 8-9 oz. The 10 is too heavy.. I got a bit mixed up. IT's been awhile since I worked with leather.
I have a question for anyone who thinks they can help out. That little silver piece in the front of the belt that the holster belts connect to just below the braided belt. Any suggestions on how to make it?
3/4 " pvc cut at angles on each side...
I love this place...... Do you attach it to the cod at all or just let it ummmm...flop around? I hope no one jumps into the middle of this conversation. :lol
It is part of the gun belt, I have seen some armor-makers on eBay that have it attached to the cod piece and that is incorrect.
I guess the pvc would work if you split it in half and mount it to something flat that extends behind the belt.. I'm still open to suggestions.
I used a aluminum shingle from home depot- .39 cents! I cut it to shape with metal shears, folded it over making the bottom piece longer and attatched it to the belt. its metal and looks good. works too!
I made my own Boba belt, which was pretty easy, it took a few nights to get it right, but was well worth it. I'm also going to make my own for my Jango, and on the upside, it should be easier (except for the holsters). Jango has 7 pouches with no stiching and rounded ends. The pouches are 13" long 2 1/2" wide strips of cowhide. They wrap around the 3" wide belt blank till they are 4" high, and only the two end pouches have any kind of sides to them.
Find a Tandy leather store, get some hide, dye, and some tools to smooth out the edges and your set. All that should be less than $100.

Last Christmas, Sears had a brisk seller in the Bionic Wrench, an award-winning, patented tool with spiffy lime green accents. This holiday season, though, Sears has a special display for its own wrench, in the red and black colors of its house brand, Craftsman.
One customer who recently spotted the new Craftsman tool, called the Max Axess wrench, thought it was an obvious knockoff, right down to the try-me packaging. I saw it and I said, This is a Bionic Wrench, recalled Dana Craig, a retiree and tool enthusiast in Massachusetts who alerted the maker of the Bionic Wrench. Its a very distinctive tool, he added.
The tools have one significant difference, Mr. Craig noted. The Bionic Wrench is made in the United States. The Max Axess wrench is made in China.
The shift at Sears from a tool invented and manufactured in the United States to a very similar one made offshore has already led to a loss of American jobs and a brewing patent battle.
The story of the Bionic Wrench versus Craftsman, which bills itself as Americas most trusted tool brand, also raises questions about how much entrepreneurs and innovators, who rely on the countrys intellectual property laws, can protect themselves. For the little guy, court battles are inevitably time-consuming and costly, no matter the outcome.
Still, the inventor of the Bionic Wrench is determined to fight. He is Dan Brown, an industrial designer in Chicago who came up with the wrench after watching his son try to work on a lawn mower. Mr. Brown says he believes that the Max Axess wrench copies his own and he is planning to file suit against Sears, which declined to answer any questions about the wrenches for this article.
The Bionic Wrench is distinguished by its gripping mechanism, a circle of metal prongs that, inspired by the shutter in a single-lens reflex camera, descend evenly to lock onto almost any nut or bolt.
Since Sears has halted new orders, the Pennsylvania company that makes the Bionic Wrench has had to lay off 31 workers, said Keith Hammer, the project manager at the company, Penn United Technologies. And thats not to mention our suppliers, he added.
Mr. Brown sees a broader issue than just the fate of his wrench. Our situation is an example of why were not getting jobs out of innovation, he said. When people get the innovation, they go right offshore. What happened to me is what happened to so many people so many times, and we just dont talk about it.
Inventors typically spend $10,000 to $50,000 to obtain the type of patent Mr. Brown has on the wrench, said John S. Pratt, a patent expert at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton in Atlanta. Though he said he could not comment on the merits of Mr. Browns potential suit, patent infringement cases can be especially difficult in the tool field, where many improvements are incremental, Mr. Pratt explained.
A defendant in such a case would most likely argue that either the tool did not warrant a patent in the first place, or that its own product did not violate the patent.
Case may be challenging
The fact that Sears made some changes to the wrenchs design, like making the grooves that allow the metal prongs to slide back and forth visible instead of hidden, will make the case more challenging, he said. Its hard for me to imagine that Sears isnt particularly careful about breach of patent, so theres probably another side to the story, he said.
After patenting the wrench in 2005, Mr. Brown formed a company, LoggerHead Tools, to bring it to market, making a point of having it made in the United States.
The Bionic Wrench was greeted with enthusiasm at trade shows and in industrial design competitions, and the company survived the downturn in 2008. Mr. Brown resisted overtures from large chain stores that wanted to sell the tool under their proprietary brand, he said, and rejected the lure of cheaper manufacturing in China. I was raised a different way, he said.
The tool sold fairly well on its own LoggerHead has shipped 1.75 million of them but Mr. Brown, 56, who teaches industrial design at Northwestern University, says LoggerHead operated on a shoestring and he plowed much of the profit back into the company. You cannot have big offices and fancy cars and everybody with an administrative assistant, because we are competing with China, he said.
In 2009, LoggerHead hit pay dirt when Sears agreed to do a test sale. The product sold out, Mr. Brown said, and Sears ordered 75,000 Bionic Wrenches the next year. In exchange Mr. Brown agreed not to sell the wrench to Searss competitors, including Home Depot and Lowes.
In 2011, sales at Sears increased again, far outpacing LoggerHeads other outlets like the QVC shopping channel and smaller hardware stores. But LoggerHeads profit margin remained small, in part because it produced a television commercial and paid Sears to show it.
The Sears Holdings Company, which owns the Craftsman brand, declined multiple requests to comment on the Bionic Wrench or the Max Axess Wrench. The company would not answer questions about patent infringement or the volume of sales.
But in a string of e-mails provided by Mr. Brown, the buyer at Sears who had the LoggerHead account wrote, making liberal use of exclamation points, that the wrenchs holiday sales last year exceeded its target by 23 percent.
In the manufacturing world, lead time can determine price, and from the beginning cost was a particular issue for the Bionic Wrench, because of the competition from China. A 2006 article in The Wall Street Journal was headlined, Wrench Wins Awards, but Is It Priced Too High to Be a Hit?
According to Mr. Browns account of his dealings with Sears, the chain was pleased with the tools performance and agreed to place an order for 2012 in plenty of time to keep the cost low. Then his buyer at Sears changed and that agreement seemed to get lost in a new round of haggling. When the order for Fathers Day finally came, Mr. Brown said, it was too late to guarantee the lower price. He refused the order.
Sears responded by agreeing to the higher price. But when it came time for the Christmas holiday order, negotiations stalled once more, again pushing LoggerHead past the deadline to get the best price, according to Mr. Brown.
We were sitting there going, Why do they want Fathers Day so bad but they wont commit for Christmas? Mr. Brown said. Now he believes that the company had already placed its order for the Craftsman version.
Suspicions confirmed
In late September, Mr. Brown said, his suspicions were confirmed. LoggerHead got a customer feedback e-mail from Mr. Craig, the tool connoisseur, describing the new Max Axess wrenches. Sadly, they are made in China, Mr. Craig wrote. Can you tell me if LoggerHead has authorized these?
Craftsman has come under fire before, accused of misleading customers into thinking that its tools are made in America and for stealing intellectual property. In one case, Sears spent two decades defending itself against a claim by Peter M. Roberts, who as a young Sears employee had, on his own time, invented a type of socket wrench.
Mr. Roberts told the court that Sears had played down the value of his invention, paid him $10,000 for the rights, and then made tens of millions of dollars. He eventually received settlements of less than $10 million, according to news reports.
In another, more recent case led by Lee Grossman, Mr. Browns lawyer, a judge awarded $25 million to the maker of a tool called the Rotozip who said he had disclosed trade secrets to Sears in an attempt to get the store to carry a new version of the tool.
Sears, a jury decided, took the trade secrets and had the tool made abroad for Craftsman.
You have LoggerHead out, Dan Brown out, and dozens of American workers laid off all in the name of profits for Sears, Mr. Grossman said.
LoggerHeads lawsuit, Mr. Brown said, will most likely include claims that Sears interfered with the companys ability to do business with other stores.
Im in favor of free trade, Mr. Brown said. The person whos out-innovated loses. But its destructive when someone competes but doesnt out-innovate, they just produce it in a different market without regard to safety codes and human conditions.
The company that makes the Max Axess wrench and other tools for Craftsman, the Apex Tool Group, is being acquired by Bain Capital, the company founded by Mitt Romney, in a $1.6 billion deal.
Throughout the presidential campaign, Bain was criticized on the grounds that it encouraged outsourcing by companies it buys at the expense of American workers. Apex makes many of its tools overseas. A company spokesman referred all questions to Sears.
Mr. Brown and his lawyer say they believe they have a solid case against Sears, but it could take years to litigate. What happens to us in the meantime? Mr. Brown asked.
Mr. Brown is also concerned that while he fights in court, Sears can undercut the price of his wrench.
For now at least, Sears still has some of Mr. Browns wrenches in its inventory. On the Sears Web site, the Craftsman and the LoggerHead wrenches are listed at the same regular price, $24.99 for the 8-inch version, and today both are on sale. But for at least a few days in recent weeks, only the Craftsman version was on sale, for $19.99.
Sell out American made..designed and owned small business for $5..
No way..
Craftsman = Chinaman in todays market. :thumbup:
Sears is overpriced. I buy specialty tools and single tools at autozone; good prices, great quality, lifetime warranty. Can't beat it. I do love harbor freight though
Sears stock is falling and there have been closures of both Sears and K-Mart stores recently,Craftsman is holding it's own and is now seen in Ace Hardware stores.Sears pushes the "extended warranty" crap which is overpriced these days,going off shore will probably sink their ship even further most of us will probably buy "made in the USA" used Craftsman at the swap meets in the future.
Sears wanted $25 for a 32mm wrench. I straight up asked them "why is this wrench so expensive?" They gave me some bs "that's what everyone charges" I went and picked up the same wrench at autozone for $14 with a lifetime warranty
but yet you'll walk into walmark.. sears tool are made offshore because everyone started buy'n the cheap stuff and they HAD to join them..
mr browns wrenches.. sadly more than likely got reversed engineered.. and copied..
I'd not worry about the fact that sears is selling a copy.. I'd be worried that the tool parent company for sears/snap on/ lowe will now have one..
Sign of the times people ad we have only ourselves to blame. We will buy on price alone regardless where it is made.
ofcourse the lifetime warranty thing might be why sears made it's own..
offer the warranty and not loose money on everyone that breaks..
I'm sure there is more to it all..
but we as a whole for 35-50 years have bought whatever was the cheapest on the market..
remember I said as a WHOLE... we the guys that fawn over tools like a women does a diamond.. will spend the extra money for a quality tool.. and even then.. some will buy the cheaper on if they know it'll be a once and done.. dust collector..
sadly if sears parent co. knew the profit margin of me.browns tool. they knew he couldn't file a suit. and pay the legal fee's as it drags out..
sadly this is the way big business works.. and as seen as sears is a china or japan held company.. this is not shocking at all
Sears is not a "China company or Japan held company"..
Sears has no "Parent Co"

I try to buy American made products when possible. I do not shop cheapest. Most of my tools are old..Craftsman..Snap On..Williams..
I do buy other countries stuff..it is a world economy. But if there is an American allegory..I will buy it. Just my prejudice.
sears or sears credit is..
or was..
oh and nice list..
and whom owns them..
The fact is, American's are frugal, they won't spend the extra money to buy American, yet they whine and complain when their job is either cut, or cut back, and ya know why, remember that wrench made in China you bought at Autozone, instead of the Mac One?, well the guy at Mac got laid off, so he can't spend money anymore, like a chain reaction.
I like Crafsman. Can't say a bad thing about them. I like their prices, their products(not all of them), and their lifetime warranties. My 1/4" ratchet finally gave out the other day and am waiting for a reason to go to the mall so I can swap it out. I can't argue with a warranty that states that I can just drop my used tool on the counter and get another with no receipt at all. That's pretty rare in The US at this time.

Some useful info. (hopefully)
Base Curb Weight: The wieght of the vehicle including a full tank fo fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or any optional equipment.
GAW: Gross Axle Weight is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear). To determine Gross Axle Weights for your vehicle and trailer combination, take your loaded vehicle and trailer to a scale. With the trailer attached, place the front wheels of the vehicle on the scale to get the front GAW. For the rear GAW, weigh the towing vehicle with the trailer attached, but with just the four wheels of the vehicle on the scale. YOu get the rear GAW by subtracting the front GAW from that amount.
GAWR: Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum weight to be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are also shown on the Safety Compliance Certification lable. The total load on each axle must never exceed its GAWR.
GCW: The weight of the loaded vehicle PLUS the weight of the fully loaded trailer. It's the actual weight obtained when the vehicle and trailer are weighed together on a scale.
GCWR: The maximum allowable weight of the towing vehicle and loaded trailer including all cargo and passengers that the vehicle can handle without risking damage. The towing vehicle's brake system is rated for operation at the GVWR, not GCWR. Seperate functional brake systems should be used for safe control of towed vehicles and for trailers weighing more than 1500lbs when loaded. The measured GCW must never exceed the GCWR.
GVW: Gross Vehicle Weight is equal to the base curb weight plus actual cargo weight plus passengers. It is important to remember that GVW is not a limit or specification- it is the actual weight that is obtained whe the fully loaded vehicle is driven onto a scale.
GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle including passengers and cargo. This cargo, along with other weight limits, as well as tire, rim size and inflation pressure data, is shown on the vehicle's Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the left front door lock facing the door latch post pillar. The GVW must never exceed the GVWR.
GVW= Base Curb Weight + Cargo Weight + Passenger Weight + Tongue Load or Kingpin Weight. GVW must not exceed GVWR.
GCW= GVW + Loaded Trailer Weight.
Tongue Load or Fifth-Wheel Kingpin Weight:
Tongue Load or fifth-wheel kingpin weight is another critical measurement that must be made before towing. It refers to the amount of the trailer's weight that presses down on the trailer hitch. Too much tongue load or kingpin weight can press the vehicle down in the back causing the front wheels to lift to the point where traction, steering response, and braking can be serverly decreased. Too little tongue load or kingpin weight can reduce rear-wheeled traction and cause instability which may result in tail wagging or jackknifing.
Tongue lad or kingpin weights must meet the following requirements:
-for trailers up to 2,000lbs tongue load must not exceed 200lbs.
-For conventional trailers over 2,000lbs, tongue load must equal 10-15%
of loaded trailer weight.
-For fifth-wheel trailers, kingpin weight must equal 10-25% of loaded
trailer weight.
Examples: For a 5,000lb. conventional trailer, multiply 5,000 by .10 and .15 to obtain a proper tongue load range of 500-750lbs. For an 11,500-lb fifth-wheel trailer, multiplying 11,000 by .15 and .25 yields a kingpin weight range of 1,725 and 2,875 lbs.
Note: Be sure the addition of tongue load or kingpin weight does not cause the key towing vehicle weight limitis (GVWR and GAWR) to be exceeded.
To measure actual tongue load or kingpin weight, disconnect the trailer and place only the tongue (klingpin) on a scale (at hitchball or fifth-wheel kingpin receiver height). If the tongue load/kingpin weight exceeds the upper weight limit, move more of the trailer contents rearward to achieve the recommended tongue load/kingpin weight. If the tongue load or kingpin weight is less than the lower limit, shift the load forward.

|The logo of Wikipedia, a globe featuring glyphs from many different writing systems. A registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation.
The main page, the face that Wikipedia puts out to the world, is a good starting place for browsing and procrastination. I went to that main page at 1 am on Tuesday the 24th of August to look for a female name for some fiction I've been working on.
But to my dismay, I didn't find a single lady on the entire front page. Not one.
Wikipedia, our Library of Alexandria, considered the accomplishments of women so insignificant that they did not merit any mention. Not in the Featured Article, or In the News, or On This Day (profiling history), or Did You Know (highlighting new articles). To look at Wikipedia's main page on August 24, 2010, you would think that men made and did everything, and women had nothing to do with anything.
Was this lack of representation of the ladies a one-time thing, I wondered? Or is this a pattern, a reflection of institutionalized systematic oppression of women known as the patriarchy and more broadly, the kyriarchy?
To answer this question, I looked at ten Wikipedia main pages from the past year, and counted the number of women and men who were mentioned by name.* I used archive.org's Wayback Machine for eight of these pages (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.) For the final two, I used the August 24 main page that kicked this project off, and today's page. After studying these ten pages, I found:
- 15 women appeared total, an average of 1.5 women per page. There were no women for the May 20 and October 27 page, and no more than three women on any other day.
- 130 men appeared total, an average of 13 men per page.
- That's a proportion of almost 9 men to every 1 woman.
From a systematic point of view, it's not totally Wikipedia's fault: the world has been dominated by men, and that's reflected in the records we keep and the people we commemorate. Men still dominate every aspect of society from culture to news to sports to politics and everything in between, and they have since time immemorial. And that's a big part of why Wikipedia, an organization devoted to preserving records and making information accessible, focuses so heavily on men.
But it's not completely about history. Women make up only 13% of Wikipedians (Wikipedia editors, the people who research, write, edit, and maintain these pages - and full disclosure, I was an editor for a few years) - a proportion strikingly similar to the number of women represented on its main page. Men focus on men - upon promoting and constructing articles about people like them. Thus, the main page editors have less women-focused articles to promote to the main page.
But it's not just about the proportion of male to female volunteers. Wikipedia's main page editors could find more pages about women, could promote more woman-focused articles as in need of construction in their editor portal. They could highlight news about women, and new articles about women.
But they don't. Because they don't care about the representation of women. Because they don't care if they're replicating existing power structures, structures which likely favor them. Because they focus on being objective - and as so often happens, objectivity just means a perpetuation the dominant, male, kyriarchal point of view.
But what should Wikipedia do to remedy its chronic, sexist under-representation?
- First, this isn't a problem that starts with the main page. If Wikipedia wants to make its content less focused on men, it should promote and foster the growth and comfort of female editors like Lise Broer (who contributed several of the featured pictures in my review) .
- Second, they should make sure that there is always a woman on the main page of Wikipedia. Not including any women on any given day is an act of erasure, pure and simple.
- Third, they should focus on promoting articles about women for development and construction in their editor's portal, consistently asking editors to spend their time on articles about women. More good articles about women will make more articles about women suited to the high quality expected for pages on Wikipedia's main page.
- Finally, they should attempt to slowly bring up the proportional representation of women until at least 40% of all the named individuals on the main page on any given day are women.

Wikipedia's Gender Gap
Is Wikipedia A Victim of its Own Success?
*Focusing on just men and women is more than a little bit reductive - and since I'm looking at the main page in English, it's US-centric and Western-centric. Men oppressing women is far from the only form of oppression. But I've got time constraints, so I focused on the under-representation that I first noticed. If this post proves popular, I'll return for another look on other axes.

Idols destroyed: freewill offerings brought by grateful hearts
Strengthened by this communion with Jehovah, all Israel that had been present went out and destroyed the groves and the images, not only in Judah, but also in Ephraim and Manasseh. The state of disorder in Israel gave an opportunity on God's part for the exercise of faithfulness and the manifestation of devotedness in His people. Abundance and blessing are found in Judah, and Jehovah's house is filled with proofs of His goodness brought in by grateful hearts according to the ordinances of the law; and even in the cities of the priests all is set in order according to the law, and everything prospers [1] .
[1] Observe here that, when God blesses and there is faithfulness, the instruments whom He employs in His service partake of the glory that is connected with the blessing. Their names are inscribed in the record of God's dealings.Synopsis by John Darby

THE JERSEY SHORE -- It could have been worse. That was the judgment of amusement operators and other business owners up and down the Jersey Shore at the end of summer, before a massive six-alarm fire broke out Sept. 12 on the boardwalk of the towns of Seaside Park and Seaside Heights. The fire destroyed about 30 businesses.
What followed during the ensuing months was nothing short of a herculean task to rebuild the infrastructure. Work crews were onsite around the clock hammering down new boardwalks to replace those washed away in the storm and repairing damaged structures. And never far from the sound of construction was a constant stream of celebrities and luminaries. An aggressive media blitz called "Stronger Than the Storm" was rolled out with a ubiquitous theme song.
"We met the deadlines. Everything that was anticipated to be open, opened," said Kimberle Samarelli of the New Jersey Amusement Association. "While some amusement parks were limited, not one park stayed closed for the season. And all the boardwalks were rebuilt."
Samarelli's views were echoed by amusement operators along the Jersey Shore. So, by the time the official start of the season kicked off with Memorial Day, the boardwalk arcades were open for business.
"Our arcade did really well," said Steve Whalen of Lucky Leo's (Seaside Heights). "Our August was better than 2012. Most of the people I talked to had also had a pretty strong August."
(Lucky Leo's, by the way, survived the September blaze. Other businesses were not as lucky. Among the buildings destroyed in the blaze were the Funtown Pier, which survived Sandy's surges, and Game Room 2, operated by NJAA president John Maurer, who also owns Coast to Coast Entertainment with partner Gary Balaban.)
While August was strong, June was anything but. Indeed, New Jersey could not have asked for worse weather at the start of the season. According to the office of the New Jersey State Climatologist: "Rain, rain and more rain was the theme for New Jersey weather in June 2013. When all was said and done, statewide average precipitation totaled 9.57 inches."
Meteorologists emphasized that this volume was far from being a sprinkle, but was record-breaking rain fall. In fact, the Jersey Shore started the season with the wettest June ever recorded, going back to 1895.
In Point Pleasant, the Jenkinson's Boardwalk complex also got off to slow start, but began to rebound by July 4, according Jenkinson's spokesperson Toby Wolf. "This summer we were more weather-dependent than usual," Wolf told VT.
Rough estimates seem to back up that conclusion. According to one survey of Seaside Heights, badge sales to gain access to the beach dropped 28% through Aug. 19. Another survey, conducted by the Asbury Park Press, found that beach revenue was down more than $4 million, compared with the previous year. The Wall Street Journal's survey found beach revenue down $3.5 million, dropping 13%, from $27.7 million to $24.2 million
Those numbers, while consistent with a rain-drenched June, do not indicate any severe dropoff in enthusiasm for "going down the shore." Indeed, in any other year, these numbers would be viewed as a disaster. However, following on the heels of Sandy and the enormous effort that went into getting the Jersey Shore ready for the summer season, businesses see this year's "down season" as better than it could have been.
It took more than hammers and nails to bring the Jersey Shore back from Superstorm Sandy. Images of the destruction caused many to start thinking of alternative vacation destinations. The question that lingered was whether or not the Garden State's favorite resorts would ever be the same.
Enter East Rutherford, NJ's MWW, a public relations agency. Launching a multimillion dollar "Stronger Than the Storm" campaign, MWW flooded local media and the Internet with Jersey Shore success stories, keeping the public apprised of the progress in the rebuilding effort and launching special events leading up to the summer season.
"To reach and educate beach-goers, family vacationers and New Jerseyans, STTS created and implemented on-the-ground events that piqued traditional media, as well as social and digital arms," said campaign spokesperson Shannon Eis. "To execute the consumer campaign, the STTS team regularly met with municipalities, Chambers of Commerce, business owners, community members and consumers to gauge recovery efforts."
The image presented by the STTS campaign was that of a feisty New Jersey "can do" spirit that meshed perfectly with the celebrity governor's own blunt talking style. The all-out effort included such celebrities as President Obama, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and the governor himself. And if Great Britain's Prince William looked just a little bit uncomfortable playing a traditional boardwalk ring toss game in front of dozens of cameras during a tour by the governor, that was just part of the highly publicized fun.
The campaign and its distinctive theme song were difficult to escape either online or on traditional media. It was supplemented with news reports, complemented by tweets, Instagram photos and Facebook postings.
"The promotion worked in our favor," said New Jersey Amusement Association's Kimberle Samarelli. "Without it, the 2013 season would have been worse off. We're looking at another campaign for 2014, but starting earlier in the season."
Even nature seemed to help out. At Jenkinson's Aquarium a baby penguin was hatched just prior to the opening of the season and instantly became a Jersey Shore star. Because of the STTS campaign, the penguin hatching secured a spot on the Today Show, reported Jenkinson's Toby Wolf. "That gave us a lot of exposure and interest in the aquarium, and it was our first hatching since 2006," she said.
Arcade operators along the boardwalk, along with other businesses, reaped the benefits of the campaign. "The promotions Christie and his team put together were incredible," said Steve Whalen of Lucky Leo's (Seaside Heights). "It was like Seaside was in the news on a daily basis."
CARLSTADT, NJ -- After Sandy, there was more to rebuilding than simply repairing buildings. Replacing equipment lost to the storm represented another major challenge. Although there was little doubt that operators along the Jersey Shore were going to rebuild, whether or not they could accomplish the task in time for the summer season was far from certain. Some arcades were completely wiped out and needed to completely restock their game selections.
"When the storm first hit our major concern was our customers' well being," said Joe Ingui, Betson Enterprises' director of sales. "Many of our customers were displaced from their homes, as were some our own employees. We were trying to work remotely. We did the best we could with the management team. We spoke to as many people as we could right after the storm. Many of our customers were in the same shape as we were – no power. They had businesses they couldn't access."
What followed was a careful process of assessing the damage and making sure the seaside locations would make the target date for opening on the all-important Memorial Day weekend in May. This included a careful evaluation of games that had been underwater for possible refurbishing. While Betson did evaluate some of these games, most were a total loss because of the salt water.
"Many of the customers dusted themselves off and got up again," Ingui said. "And manufacturers were willing to work with us. We created special payment plans with low-interest deals for one or two seasons."
As the rebuilding process progressed, games began flowing south. "We ran almost two or three trucks per week down to these seasonal locations in the month of May," Ingui recalled. "The whole story is getting open for Memorial Day. We fought hard to make that target date. And we as an industry rebounded extremely well. We coped well and we're hopeful for next year."

|wolfy dog
Thanks for these articles. It is so true. If you have taught your pup, or any animal or person with a brain something and wait for a day or so to repeat, it has been processed by the brain and the success is better than practicing continuously.
It is also true that you don't have to overdo socialization. Just exposing and making the pup comfortable in various situations will do. I don't agree with Ian Dunbar's "meeting 100 new people" before a certain age for a pup. Never made that dead line and my pups have been fine with strangers.
I had much to add but it took too much time so add this
says Turid of the herding dogs "
. Most of the time is waiting and doing nothing, most of the work is calm and concentrated."
that makes a comment on the on and off switch with stand by - not full throttle all the time.
we create "Like the marathon runner who is addicted to the endorphin rush or the drug addict trying to get his fix, a dog who is a "fun addict" will seek out that rush."
great as a tool for molding behaviour , like some provider with the next fix --
this can open to a huge topic onto how dogs are bred -- because the ball play "fun addict" is high priority in the selection process for some working dog evaluators --- but there are other forces at work as well --- and in my wide reading and investigating other breeds , modern and ancient dogs performed tasks exceptionally well without "play" a modern concept being part of it --- livestock guarding , protection , hunting scent hounds , and herding dogs . No shepherd of yea olde "olden times" chose their working prospect by testing for play. You want a shepherd's dog , test him on the sheep.
what a great site .
should be a sticky.
|Fantastic! I wish I read this months ago, I really do. We all make mistakes and sometimes it really is just a case of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). Great article and very well written
more than good --- GREAT
"Behavioral Fallout. Dogs that are reactive to dogs, people or other stimulus commonly found on walks can actually get worse with continued exposure. Would it reduce your stress levels to be chased by a bear? Of course not. Your survival instincts will kick in, sending your body into stress overdrive to keep you alive. Cortisol and adrenaline are elevated with each walk and exposure to the triggering stimuli (person, animal or object). Not only do elevated stress levels lead to behavior problems, but they undermine the immune response, leaving the dog more susceptible to illness."
important for all those who just got the pup a figurative "day ago" and want to make sure it experiences x number of environments and meets x number of strangers , and then if there is an undesirable reaction gets thrown back into the situations with food bribes . All at a time when there are so many physiological stresses going on --
for all those need to be , want to be ALPHA's -- read Dog Whisperer, Dog Psychology and Cesar Millan
this for those that want to wear their dogs out and find they require more and more exercise --- when the dog is in fact over stimulated, over tired and needs calm . Have often said that dogs need rest and quiet especially when young . Crazy makes for more crazy 4 Paws University Sacramento Dog Obedience Training
I have always felt that when you train something new , something difficult put the dog away to rest , to allow what they just did to sink in quote "After you do these activities, make sure there's a significant rest period for your dog, maybe just chewing on a bone. Building in that down time will naturally limit how many new things you can do every day, which is also a good way to give your dog time to process"
what a great site .
should be a sticky.
|The bit about getting the dog out of situations wherein they are destined to fail is something everyone needs to read three or four times. That action has been my policy for years, it just seemed logical and I sorta control where my dogs go. It would solve a lot of the dog-park problems instantly.
|Lots of good info

A Spanish shotgun maker - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=816_1350236745
Video shows many of the 'handcrafted' steps in making a premium custom shotgun. The tools and machinery remind me of what must have been common in small makers in the US around the turn of the century.
Breda machinegun factory during WWII - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2e6_1348153004
Probably from an italian propaganda film, shows some neat footage of rooms...i mean lots & lots! of italian light & heavy machineguns being built and testing. After a multi-clip function test of one the operator plunges it into a water bath, to cool it maybe(?). Odd.

Ok after seeing AVP-R I though the character of the Predator or the Wolf as he is known was easily my favourite rendering of the character to date, so I decided to set myself the goal of making a Wolf suit, now I know this is going to take me a lot of time but I will get there, I started off a few months back, I was fortunate enough to get a casting of Predamaker's Wolf bio, which is a fantastic piece, up til now thats pretty much all I have although I have an undermask on its way too (thanks Mr Fett) I used the same technique I used on my last bio helmet, and heres a run down of the process with some pictures of the finished article
* trim and sand the helmet
* primer to show any spots that need fixing - here I decided to 'widen' the appearance of the lower cheeks and to lower the 'frown' a little with some filler to give it a more menacing appearance, once I had added the extra bulk I needed to replicate the hammered metal bumps in the surface, I solved this by using 3-4 different size drill bits and gently 'spoting' a few marks in a random fashion, I did this until I was happy with the effect, once that was done I re-primered the helmet.
* flat black coat, this settles in all the little grooves of the helmet which will add to the overall effect
* several 'blasts' of chrome silver, from about 2 foot away to begin the metallic look
* using Tamiya Titanium Silver I scrunched up some paper towel and used that with the paint to apply more silver detail to the helmet mainly the raised features of the helmet, around the snout and the eyes for example
* when painting my Boba Fett helmet I found oil pastels were great for adding grimy marks, here I used a dark ochre pastel and rubbed a bit of 'dirt' in here and there
* a final touch up using the paper towel and Tamiya Titanium Silver and voila, she's nearly there, just need to finish the laser shroud and add a good set of lenses. Let me know your comments

text: Here is the design and instructions of this smoker: http://learningbeekeeping.com/beekeeping-articles/bee-smoker-design-for-third-world-beekeeping/Peace Corps volunteers and NGOs that do beekeeping should find it useful. Assembled from scrap, with no power tools. Only a hammer, nail, machete and maybe pliers.After much trial and error, over the last year, I've come forth with a simplistic bee smoker design for use in third world areas. This began as a project with Paul Jackson when I interviewed him to make a documentary about his bee smoker collection . Drawing upon my experience in East Africa in the Wagogo tribal areas of Tanzania, I think all the materials needed could be found in most villages in the bush.I'm calling it the 'Jackson-Taylor 3 can smoker'.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible disease that results in a loss of mental function due to the deterioration of brain tissue.
Recent studies show that people with impaired memory may have problems with the way their bodies use blood sugar. These problems may be due in part to the way certain hormones, such as insulin, affect the body's ability to use sugar.
In people with Alzheimer's disease, improvements in blood sugar regulation have been shown to improve the ability to remember new information. These findings provide some clues about what causes problems with memory, attention and concentration in some people with Alzheimer's disease and other memory problems.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether a type of insulin (Humulin® R) improves memory when administered intranasally (as a "nasal spray") to adults with a mild memory impairment or early Alzheimer's disease.

Hundreds of people gathered in Mala Strana in Prague to protest against a US radar base which is going to be built on Czech soil as part of the American anti-missile project in eastern Europe. They marched through the strets in Prague and went to the American embassy where they attempted to hand officials a box of toy guns labeled: "Iranian weapons of mass destruction." A spokesperson for protestors said: "We wanted to show that we won't give up, that we want to get the remaining one-third of the public on our side," referring to the fact that two-thirds of the Czech public opposes construction of the bases.
The construction by the United States in Europe of anti-missile bases supposedly directed against potential weapons of mass destruction from Iran– or North Korea– makes no sense. If this is actually a threat to the people of Europe, the European Union is the logical group which should be building such facilities. Why is the United States engaged in such activities? Lost in the American desire for anti-missile bases in Europe is the question of why would Iran seek to fire missiles at Europe knowing full well their nation would be pounded by the forces of many nations? Why would Iran seek to initiate a war with Europe in the first place? Could someone in the Bush administration answer that question?

Harry Potter was unable to get Vernon Dursley to sign his copy of this form, but eventually received a separate sign note of permission from Sirius Black, which was considered "good enough for Dumbledore."

"Excellent quality - make simple presents look more elegant and saves time as no card necessary for all of the nursery school party gifts."
"Ordered for my daughter's first birthday's pretty in pink party. It is very dainty and elegant. Loved it! Quality is great as always."
"These stickers are very beautiful for a little girl. I use them as envelope seals for my daughter's stationery. The design is so pretty and the soft colors are perfect. They are a bit smaller than I thought they'd be but still a good size."
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"
"I found this design because I called their customer service to ask for a recommendation for gift tag design that will compliment the birthday invitation I have picked out. Luckily, the customer service lady suggested this design and infact, she helped me customize the text i wanted in the tag. Excellent quality on papers and the color is so subtle. Not overwhelming pink! Cannot wait for guest to see the gift tags!!! Just love it!"

On the Offensive
Faced with a potential loss of 18,000 trees to the emerald ash borer (EAB), Green Bay, Wis., has armed against the invasion of this destructive insect by developing a response plan. Since first appearing in North America in 2002, EAB infestations have killed more than 20 million ash trees at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. The beetle larvae feed on the inner bark, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. With EAB infiltrations less than 40 miles away in northern Illinois, the Wisconsin Department f Natural Resources (WDNR) prepared an EAB Toolkit to help municipalities develop response plans.
Implementing an EAB response plan before EAB arrives is a proactive alternative to expensive crisis management. The purpose of the plan is not only to direct EAB management activities, but also to limit the reduction in other forestry services. A well-planned response stretches tax dollars, justifies expenditures, reduces liability, and shows leadership in the face of a well-defined threat.
As in many communities, budget cuts and staff reductions have taken their toll on the Green Bay Forestry Division. Because EAB kills large areas of ash trees very quickly, its arrival will present an enormous budget and workload challenge. Forestry services will be limited to tree and stump removals associated with dead and dying ash trees. The demand for tree planting and pruning will skyrocket. The aesthetic qualities of parks and neighborhoods will quickly decline. Property values will decrease and utility bills will increase.
The Green Bay plan addresses the current staff and workload along with future demands on the division. The Forestry Division has used the EAB Toolkit to complete the following steps:
- Train field staff to identify signs of EAB and to differentiate those of native ash pests.
- Assign responsibility for local EAB programs to the Forestry Division.
- Communicate the threat of EAB and the importance of preparation to department directors, elected officials, and the community.
- Update municipal ordinances to address EAB.
- Work with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to select, girdle, monitor, remove, and evaluate detection trees.
Over the next two years, the Forestry Division will use a WDNR Urban and Community Forestry Grant to complete a street tree inventory. This will provide data on the street tree ash population, including size and condition ratings, and will enable forestry administration to estimate costs associated with tree and stump removal and replacement.
As they inventory street trees, forestry staff will survey public and private ash trees for signs of EAB. The Forestry Division will designate waste wood processing and staging sites with emphasis on using the wood for the benefit of the city and on reducing disposal costs.
More than any other element in a municipality, the urban forest provides a vast environmental benefit, increases the quality of life and defines the character of the community. Preparing an EAB response plan is a responsible action to protect this asset.
Eric Muecke is assistant city forester,city of Green Bay, Wis.

ok, so here's my dilema...
i have movies to point to my actual movie folder so that instead of using library mode and having 100 different genre's, i just have the 6 genres, that way my wife and kids can find movies easier. the view is also set to thumbnail, so my 3 year old can pick out the movie via the cover art. however, when i go to tv show, it will list my shows, and when i go into it, it has the episodes as thumbnail. but if i go to tvshow/title it will list the show, then seasons when i click on a show. however, the next time i go into movies, it goes back to list view.
how can i change this so that tv show has one view (library, with list and seasons) and movies has another view (file view with thumbnail view)?
also, is there a way to make thumbnails larger in thumbnail view?
also, is there a way to just add a cursor image? it just shows to disable the mouse, but it still works just fine.

Have you thought about using a media manager application like ember to set the genres on each movie the way you want? It's a bit of a boring job and took me about 30 minutes to set the genre for 300 movies then you can use library view.

i have ember, didn't know you could customize the genres though. but i have over 900 movies lol 3 days worth of work.
but i figured it out. i for some reason used a custom link on tv show to link to the files instead of using the default link. so when i changed it, it changed file view across the board. changed it back to default library view for tv and it works like a charm now.
