Does anyone that have the DX6490 got more of their share of blurry pictures lately ?
Two weeks ago I got a brand new Kodak DX6490 digital Camera and on the very first weekend, I took some of the best pictures I've ever took.
I take from 72 to 150 pictures in a single day. Like I said now two weeks since my purchase. A problem came out.
At first I got 1 on 10 pictures that were all blurry and the Green dot show a clear picture and ready to click. But I still got 1 on10 picture that were blurry.
Now I get 1 on 5 blurry pictures. Took the camera to be check, but the store found no problem (They took 8 test pictures). Took the camera back for test this time with a trypod to avoid mouvement. On the eleven picture it was blurry two clean one, then 5 in a row blurry. Please I'm not dreaming.
One tech. supp. from Kodak told me that a replacement camera is possible, but the store told me NO REPLACEMENT, NO REFUND and Kodak does not do replacement them self.
I'm stuck with a LEMON that cost me $500.00 Canadian.
Any suggestion out there ?
Any one that have a similar problem ?
Thank for your suggestion!

UAB Employee Compensation Guidelines
June 2010
As we continue to assess how to best invest institutional resources in times of fiscal restraint, it is imperative that we implement and promote to UAB-wide employee compensation policies that effectively support our most important asset – our workforce. To assist our academic and administrative units with these decisions, the following Employee Compensation Guidelines are provided for the FY 10-11 budgetary year:
- After two years without a general salary increase plan, UAB is making available a merit-based salary option to reward performance and keep UAB salaries competitive. Each College/School/Unit electing to participate must submit a merit-based, salary increase "Plan" for review and approval to the Provost/VPFAA no later than 7/16/10. UAB's institutional target is for College/Schools/Units to submit Plans with a 3% pool for merit-based distribution among faculty and staff (if funding is available). Plans should include total salary pool dollars to be made available (with % of total salary base this represents) and planned ranges for individual increases (e.g. 1-5%). All Plan submissions should identify appropriate sources of sustainable funding. College/School/Unit Plans may also include market equity considerations as part of allocation and distribution methodologies. Each College/School/Unit considering a Plan with market equity component should fully discuss with HR before submitting. All Plans must require that individual, merit-based salary increases align with level of performance reflected in annual evaluations. Plans may consider annual evaluations from the previous two years when no general salary plan was available. Individual salary increases of more than 10% under Plan will require prior Provost/Vice President for Finance and Administration (VPFAA) approval. Once approved, all Plans must complete salary pool distributions and implement salary adjustments for faculty and monthly paid staff effective 10/1/10 and bi-weekly paid staff effective 9-26-10.
- The UAB General Wage Structure and Faculty Ranges will not be adjusted.
- Salary adjustments for probationary, job rate and establish step rate programs (including graduate assistantships/stipend increases, resident progression and student salary adjustments) may proceed in accordance with established UAB and departmental policies provided funding is available. These adjustments must be funded by College/School/Department and approved by the appropriate VP, Dean or Library Director.
- College/Schools/Units with previously established compensation incentive plans must submit these plans for recertification as required by existing UAB incentive program guidelines by 7/16/10. College/Schools/Units proposing new incentive plans must submit these plans by 7/16/10 to be considered for implementation in FY 10-11. Please refer to the UAB incentive program guidelines for further information.
- College/Schools/Units will be permitted to continue to fund faculty promotions for FY10-11. Staff promotions into pre-approved positions will also be permitted. Salary adjustments for promotions must be endorsed by the appropriate College/School/Department VP, Dean, or Library Director.
- College/Schools/Units may request new positions for FY 10-11 under established HR procedures. New positions will be reviewed by HR Compensation in order to determine if the classification desired is appropriate. All new positions will require approval from the applicable College/School/Department VP, Dean or Library Director.
- Position reclassifications will be permitted on a limited basis. All requests for position reclassifications should be carefully considered in light of current budget restraints and evolving program needs. Please note: once a position has been reviewed for reclassification, it is not eligible for review again for a minimum of 12 months. Reclassifications will require approval from the applicable College/School/Department VP, Dean, or Library Director.
- Shared salary adjustments between two or more funding sources where the total salary does not change (e.g. HSF/IAB/VA/UABHS) may be approved at the appropriate VP, Dean, or Library Director level after review by HR.
- Salary adjustments for UAB employees who make lateral transfers should be carefully considered in light of relative College/School/Unit Salary Plans, current budget restraints and evolving program needs. Increase less than 10% should be submitted/reviewed by HR with support/approval by the applicable College/School/Department VP, Dean, or Library Director.
- Requests for salary adjustments as part of a competitive retention package will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Initial review and approval is required from the College/School/Department VP, Dean, or Library Director. Once this approval is obtained, departments should submit the request and approval to HR. HR will review and submit to the appropriate UAB senior administrator (Provost/VPFAA) for final approval.
- Requests for additional compensation for supplemental duties must be approved by the College/School/Unit VP, Dean, or Library Director prior to submission for HR review. Please note: additional/supplemental duties should be temporary in nature (less than 6 months).
- Departments requesting salaries for New Hires with proposed salaries above the midpoint of the range require review/approval by the appropriate VP/Dean/Director after HR review/approval. This includes persons moving from student or temporary initiated positions into permanent/full-time or part-time positions.
- Fixed Increment Payment (FIP) requests will be considered for FY 10-11. FIPs are one-time, non-recurring lump sum salary payments used in limited cases where an employee has reached maximum wage in a pay band and a merit-based payment is justified. FIPs may also be used to reward individual performance in unique or unusual significant special projects of limited duration that require extensive time and effort above and beyond regularly assigned job duties (note: a 12-month payment distribution schedule may be required for employees receiving FIPs that are funded on federally-sponsored projects). FIP recommendations must be submitted to the Office of the Provost/VPFAA no later than 7/16/10. Approved FIPs will be effective 10/1/10.
The following list summarizes the review and approval process for FY10-11 compensation actions:
VP/Dean/Library Director approval after initial review/approval by HR:
- probationary increases
- requests for new positions
- staff promotions
- reclassifications
- lateral transfers with increases of less than 10%
- salary share adjustments between two or more funding sources where the total salary does not change (e.g. HSF/UAB/VA/UABHS)
- graduate assistantships with annual stipend increases
- resident progression increases
- elements for additional and/or supplemental duties
- new hires with proposed salaries above the midpoint of the range
- student salary adjustments
UAB senior administrator (Provost/VPFAA) approval after full HR review/approval and endorsement by appropriate VP/Dean/Director:
- merit-based salary increase Plan (including any market equity component)
- FIPs
- merit increases and/or lateral transfers with increases of 10% or more
- faculty promotions
- competitive retention packages
- established and previously approval incentive Plans
Any questions or concerns regarding these guidelines should be directed to your HR Representative or HR Compensation.

ComunicaçãoSocial / Notícias sobre produtos e serviços / The new computerised drill rig - ROC D7 C
The new computerised drill rig - ROC D7 C
A drill rig that can drill the holes by itself! Atlas Copco is delighted to launch the ROC D7 C, a new computerised surface crawler that drills truly straight holes, fast and accurately. It features a system that adds rods into the drill string automatically, thus increasing production capacity by a full 10-15%. Just set the hole depth and the automatic feed alignment, and initiate drilling. The ROC D7 C takes over and finishes the hole on its own.

 And then there's the ROC Manager -- unique software for monitoring and optimising the drilling operation. Design drill plans in the office and send them to the rig. Log deviation and other key data while drilling and analyse the results back in the office.
Entering the ergonomically designed cabin you immediately notice the comfort, the visibility and the conveniently placed controls and monitors. There are no hydraulics inside the cabin, and all gauges and instruments are replaced by a colour display unit.
"When a rig leaves the factory, it's not only filled with oil and water", explains Lennart Lundin, Product Manager, "it's also powered by a lot of intelligence, making life easier both for operators and maintenance engineers. After a few hours of training the operator can reach maximum drilling performance. Rods are automatically added into the drill string to a predetermined depth allowing the driller to carry out other activities while drilling. As drilling can continue during lunch breaks and between shifts, the net result is 10 to 15% more rig utilisation. Thanks to the modular design, the system can be upgraded with optional automatics and electronics."
The functions feel the rock
The RPCF (Rotation, Pressure Control of Feed Force) means that optimum hole penetration is achieved continuously and automatically, as the system takes advantage of any changes in rotation resistance without jeopardising life of the drill string. The changes in rotation resistance also control the impact pressure with a special function. At excessive rotation resistance the improved two-stage anti-jamming system is activated. The risk of jamming drill rods is virtually eliminated. One key difference between RCS and a conventional hydraulic control system is the smooth ramp-up that occurs between the end of collaring and the start of drilling.
Designed for service
By introducing RCS, Atlas Copco paves the way for easier maintenance and repair jobs. Trouble-shooting is facilitated by the built-in self-diagnostic system.
The reduction of hydraulic hoses, components and valve blocks reduces the risk of hydraulic fluid polluting the environment. Usage of common components and systems for both underground and surface drilling equipment offers both Atlas Copco and their customers important future synergies in logistics and training.
Successful test drilling
Encouraged by positive response at three work sites in Sweden comprising trenching and production of crushed rock aggregate, we decided to launch the ROC D7 C at Con Agg 2002 says David Shellhammer, Marketing Manager of Surface Drilling Equipment, quoting some of the comments made by the pioneers:
"a working a day with the RCS rig saves a lot of energy for my spare time"
"automatic rod handling gives me ample time to regrind the bits and mark my holes"
" the logical and ergonomic operator controls are kind to my arms and shoulders"
" feed alignment is made by just pushing a button"
"as holes were drilled straight and to the predetermined angle and depth, the fragmentation was exceptional—no need for secondary breaking"
First rig sold to NCC
NCC Roads, a division of the Swedish based construction group, NCC, has decided to purchase the first ROC D7 C, now on display in Las Vegas. The division specialises in drilling and blasting and operates mainly in the northern part of Sweden.
Their current drilling equipment fleet comprises 10 Atlas Copco rigs.
"By covering all three drilling methods Atlas Copco is offering, we have gained a definite competitive advantage" explains Åke Forsgärde, Production Manager at NCC Roads. "All methods have their merits, mainly in relation to hole diameter. Above 127 mm we use DTH, and below 89 mm, tophammer. COPROD has a definite advantage in the hole range in between. From the various options Atlas Copco offers together with the ROC D7 C, I expect a lot of benefits from the ROC manager and the continuos monitoring of hole deflection.
This will enable us to design drill patterns, log the hole deviation data and analyse the results on a PC or laptop while drilling. As a result we will gain a lot of useful information when planning and scheduling for future assignments. In summary we expect higher rig utilisation and better control of the entire drill and blast operations resulting in better overall economy."

Increase in Mass Shootings, Increases Gun Sales
With Mondays mass shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C, gun sales have gone up.
Owner of Texas Guns on Bandera Rd. in San Antonio, Jerry McCall says hes seen a 40 percent increase in gun and ammo sales this week alone.
Individuals are concerned that the police will not get to them in time if they needed to protect their families, McCall said. Its fear that brings them out to buy firearms.
Gun buyers just want peace of mind, that if something happens, they will be able to protect themselves, McCall said.
It's the fear factor, he said. They realize that if something happens that they must protect themselves and their families, no matter the situation.
Mass shootings help add to the paranoia, but also the fear that stricter gun control laws will eventually take away their second amendment right, McCall said.
The amount of guns that weve sold in the last five to six month has set all precedents for the United States, ever, McCall said. Ammo is in very short supply, manufactures can't keep up with the demand that should say a lot about what people are thinking.

Black Blade: Should be armed regardless. That said, I am very happy to see more firearms in the hands of the people.

Hi there all.
I am hoping that some of you may be able to provide me with information for questions I have. Here goes.....
I am currently an assistant manager for a domiciliary care company. I graduated last year in Human Psychology (BSc with honours) and considering a postgraduate course this year. What am I babbling on about I hear you say.
Well I am also considering applying and partaking in a TEFL course to enhance my employability prospects as well as widening my own qualification spectrum. I would generally like to work abroad, particularly Spain, the USA (my sister lives over there) or Down Under. But for now I would like to focus on Spain.
Now I have no teaching qualifications, nor do I have any teaching experience. The TEFL course, I was hoping would give me some insight and a foot in the door to new opportunities. I wouldn't mind teaching in the UK if the opportunity arose as this could give me some very valuable experience.
However, I have a young family (5 year old daughter and 9 month old son, accompanied by a wife to be). Does this make it more difficult for me?
Basically with all I have mentioned how far will a TEFL course take me? Does my previous education and work experience help me?
I do like the idea of supporting others to learn and the motivation comes from the resulting altruistic feeling.
So who and how many of you lovely forum people can assist me in my investigative plight?
All responses are gratefully received, good or bad. Thank you

Last month I was asked to testify before the South Jordan City Council about the health threat to a nearby neighborhood from lead emissions from a proposed indoor gun range. I recited the federal government's official position no amount of lead exposure is safe, especially for children.
Many young parents, worried their small children would suffer diminished intelligence from small amounts of lead continually emitted in their backyard, also pleaded against a permit for the gun range.
Despite legitimate health concerns and solid opposition from the neighbors, the council issued the permit. I went home muttering to myself about child abuse from America's pathologic infatuation with guns.
One month later, after the horrific slaughter of Sandy Hook schoolchildren, millions of Americans are muttering to themselves and each other about our pathologic infatuation with guns. In any other country this would be the crime of the century, but it's just another week in America.
The same weekend of the Connecticut shooting, authorities arrested a psychopath in Indiana threatening to shoot everyone in another grade school with his 47 guns; a gunman killed three people in Alabama, and another three were shot in an Oregon mall; a shooter opened fire in a California mall parking lot; a gun was used for a murder/suicide on the Las Vegas Strip; a North Carolina man shot his wife and mother-in-law.
There have been 31 school shootings since Columbine. Children are now bringing guns to school thinking they must defend themselves.
American gun carnage is anomalous among civilized countries if indeed we still deserve to be called "civilized." President Obama said we can tolerate this no longer we must change as a nation.
Of course we need reasonable gun control, public help for the mentally ill, and to cleanse the scourge of violent video games, TV and movies. But we must also change our pathologic relationship with guns.
Gun sales soared when Obama was elected the first time and again after his re-election. They are soaring again now. Evidently, tens of thousands of Americans believe a rational response to a Democrat in the White House and the murdering of children is "gun hoarding."
Owning a gun for self "protection" is both pathology and mythology. Gun owners are 22 times more likely to have that gun kill a family member than to use that gun successfully for protection. Owning a gun may make you feel empowered, but if you insist it's for protection you're kidding yourself.
Discussions about American gun violence seldom address the cultural undercurrent that, for "law-abiding citizens," firing lethal weapons is legitimate entertainment. Nancy Lanza was a law-abiding suburban mom. But she was also a gun enthusiast and talked often at a local bar about her gun collection.
Adam Lanza acquired a comfort with guns from his mother who took him target shooting at a gun range. It is a tragic irony that it was one of her multiple, legally bought and registered guns that her son used, with the proficiency he learned at her side, to take her life and 26 others.
More gun control may not have prevented this particular tragedy, but a mother immersed in a culture of gun fascination appears to have provided the opportunity and likely laid the psychological groundwork for her unstable son to commit this atrocity.
Of all the activities parents might choose to share with their children, there must be 10,000 that are fun and don't have the potential to end up facilitating mass murder.
No children should have to be exposed to lead emissions from a shooting range. No children should have to grow up in a society where shooting lethal weapons is just another form of entertainment with the result that just going to school is a risk to their lives.
I call upon the owners of the newly permitted indoor gun range in South Jordan to do the right thing for the community and walk away. Sell the building to someone else. You and your investors don't need the money, and we don't need yet another proving grounds for the next mass murderer.

"The card was easy to edit to add my own words, it's great that you can change font and size of text. Overall a fantastic looking invite at a great price. Super quick delivery too."
"I really like this invite when I ordered it online it looked great but I I received it the print was so tiny I could hardly see it. I called their customer service and they send me new invites with larger fonts looks great Amazing customer service"
"We received so many compliments on this invitation. It was for our son's Holy Communion. Everyone loved the front and back design of the card."
"I am very pleased with this card- the design and quality are great! Makes a very elegant invite and was a snap to personalize. Would definitely order again."
"I am very impressed with the product, price, customer service and delivery time. The invitations arrived standard shipping in 2 days! Amazing! Classy invitation on nice weight card stock. I kept the color and font as shown. I was able to change text in the text box easily. The blue background and white border have an aged quality because the ink is not solid...more like it was painted in watercolor. Very Book of Kells feeling to me which is a subtle and nice touch. The Celtic cross and knotwork are beautiful. The blue background is a light blue. The digital image doesn't translate the actual color well. Still lovely. Darling little hearts on cross and corners of the invitation. I am proud to send these out to my family and friends for my son's 1st Holy Communion. Exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much! Great job Tiny Prints!"

Indoor Football Team Offers Tebow Contract
Tim Tebow may not have any NFL offers as of yet, but he does have at least one suitor vying for his services... for $75 a game.
The Omaha Beef of the Champions Professional Indoor Football League (rolls right off the tongue) have reached out to Tebow's agent, Jimmy Sexton, and have offered a contract to the former New York Jet. The Beef are willing to give Tebow $75 a game, a far cry from the $2.1 million he made last season in Gotham.
Beef assistant general manager Andrew Mather said that he doesn't expect to hear back from Tebow's camp, but thought it was worth a try to contact him.
The Beef have a starting quarterback right now, and a pretty good one at that. James McNear has led the Beef to a 5-1 record so far this season and has completed 70 percent of his passes. McNear has also thrown 21 touchdowns and only two interceptions.
McNear doesn't seem to be fazed by the news of the Beef contacting Tebow. In fact he feels that he is the better quarterback, saying,
"I think Tim can learn a lot from me,"

Does anyone take adderall to lift heavy, that is not prescribed it?
nanovapor gave me the ability to shoot lazers made of lava from my eyes..
Hit 225 5x5 and 245 1x5 today on back squat...Felt good to get back in there and knock some more rust off.
On a serious note: I don't think I would like adderall as much for lifting, just because it's not as like in your face intense energy as a solid dose of caffeine. Adderall to me, even the 25mg IRs are much more gradual, and long term form of mental energy. Unless I am also boozing. But, I won't booze and lift. I've never heard of it being used in regards to lifting.

Anyone use 1mr

1mr- Nope. A friend of mine does, and she swears by it. For PWO, I use Craze. I use one scoop, Saturday mornings. One tub lasts forever, and that **** gets me moving fast. The grape is kind of intense though.
Doing 5/3/1 for a bit now. Already posted my military press and deadlift days earlier last week. To close the week, I squatted 245 for set of ten, and benched 185 for a set of 9. The bench I had a bit more left, but didn't get a spotter, and didn't want to get buried. I think I could have gotten it for 11. Regardless, I'm having fun with the program for the first week.
This week will be a bit tougher for sure though. I'm not sure I'll be able to beat my "rep goals", but I will definitely be able to smoke the sets of 3 no problem.
I started playing hockey in a mens league last night as well. First time on the ice in 10 years. Scored the teams second goal, and we won 3-2. Haven't had that much fun in a long time. Really missed skating. I cannot believe how sore I am, and it's only been 12 hours since I got on the ice last night. My wrists and ankles are shot, and my groin feels like I got beat with a mace. Worth it though.
Hope you guys all had a great weekend.
edit: UltimateSteve, and anyone else I suppose. MuscleHQ deal of the day is 1MR.
Not exactly sure what the discount is or anything, as I just saw it in an e-mail and threw up on here, but it may be worth it for some of yall.

Mother arrested for injuring her 3-year old in DUI crash
Child suffers a broken neck
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A Santa Barbara woman faces multiple felony charges for a DUI crash that injured her 3-year old son. Police arrested Kate Hatrey Walters, 24, after she slammed the car she was driving into a street sign and light pole near State Street and Toyon Drive about 7 p.m. Monday.
Police said Walters and a friend started heavily drinking early in the day then went to dinner at Harry's Plaza Cafe. Walters took her son to the restaurant where she allegedly continued to drink alcohol. Restaurant workers told police Walters and her friend became unruly and restaurant staff eventually told them to leave. Workers at Harry's Cafe called a taxi to pick up the two women and the child. As they waited for the cab to arrive, police said Walters and her friend continued to cause a disturbance outside prompting restaurant staff to call police. However, before officers arrived on scene, Walters and her friend put the child in a car and they allegedly drove away. Witnesses reported that Walters car almost hit two parked cars in the Loreto Plaza parking lot.
Police said Walter drove about two blocks before hitting the street sign and light pole. Police arrived on scene to find the injured 3-year old boy being cradled in the arms of a citizen.
All three people in the car were taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Police said Walters refused to submit to a test to determine her blood alcohol content. Officers obtained a search warrant authorizing police to take a sample of Walters blood.
The child suffered numerous injuries including a broken neck. Walters was treated for minor injuries and her friend is being evaluated.
Walters is charged with felony DUI and felony child endangerment with bail set at $100,000
The following is the SBPD press release:
MEDIA RELEASE DUI Collision Results in Severe Injuries to 3-Year Old Child SANTA BARBARA, CA – May 21, 2013 Kate Hatrey Walters, age 24, of Santa Barbara, was arrested for felony DUI and felony child endangerment. While driving drunk Walters crashed into a lamppost severely injuring her 3-year old son. Following her arrest for DUI Walters refused to submit to a chemical test to determine her blood alcohol content. Pursuant to new procedures enacted following the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling in theMissouri v. McNeely case, a search warrant was obtained authorizing the collection of a blood sample from Walters by force, if necessary. On May 20, 2013 at 7:01 p.m., Santa Barbara Police Department Officers Mark Hunt and Bruno Peterson responded to a call of a disturbance in progress involving intoxicated subjects in front of Harry's Plaza Café at 3313 State Street. While the officers were en route they were advised by the SBPD Combined Communications Center that the disturbing parties had driven away from the scene and had become involved in a traffic collision near the intersection of State Street and Broadmoor Plaza. When the officers arrived there they encountered Walters, heavily intoxicated and distraught, seated to the rear of the car she had been driving; Walters's 3-year old son being cradled in the arms of a citizen, bleeding from abrasions to his neck; and firefighters and paramedics struggling to extricate a heavily intoxicated, combative, 21-year old woman from the front passenger seat of the vehicle she owned but had been driven by Walters at the time of the collision. Investigation indicates the following. Walters started drinking heavily earlier in the day. At approximately 5:00 p.m. she went with a friend, in her friend's car, to Harry's Plaza Café, taking her son with her. At the restaurant Walters continued to drink with her friend and both became heavily intoxicated, unruly, and argumentative with restaurant staff. Walters and her friend were told to leave the restaurant and a taxi cab was called by restaurant staff to pick up Walters, her son, and her friend. While waiting for the taxi Walters and her friend continued to cause a disturbance prompting the restaurant staff to call the police. Prior to the arrival of the responding officers Walters and her friend went to the friend's parked car, placed Walters's son in a child seat in the vehicle, and drove away with Walters at the wheel. She nearly collided with two other parked cars in the Loreto Plaza parking lot, prompting another witness to call the police. A restaurant employee took note of the description of the involved vehicle and its license plate number in order to provide that information to the responding officers. After exiting the Loreto Plaza parking lot, where Harry's Plaza Café is located, Walters drove two blocks westbound on State Street until she reached the intersection with Toyon Drive. She struck the curb at the northwest corner of the intersection and drove up onto the sidewalk, striking the State Street / Toyon Drive street sign there and then collided with the lamppost of a city street light. The force of the collision caused the airbags in the vehicle to deploy. Inspection of the vehicle revealed that the child seat utilized by Walters's son had not been properly installed. Walters was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision and her friend was not. Walters, her son, and her friend were all transported to by paramedics to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Emergency Room. Officer Hunt conducted a DUI investigation and arrested Walters for DUI; a felony because the crime resulted in injuries. Additionally, he arrested her child endangerment and notified Santa Barbara County Child Welfare Services. Following her arrest Walters refused to submit to a chemical test to determine her blood alcohol content. Officer Hunt obtained a search warrant authorizing the collection of a blood sample from Walters. The blood sample was subsequently obtained by a nurse at the hospital. Walters was treated for minor injuries and medically cleared for Jail booking. At the time this investigation concluded Walters's friend was still undergoing medical evaluation. Walters's 3-year old son sustained multiple injuries from the collision including a broken neck. He was admitted to the hospital for treatment. Walters was booked at Santa Barbara County Jail on the aforementioned charges with a bail amount of $100,000.00. Photo provided by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.

Concerns Heighten Over Morgan County School System
School officials say residents will now have an opportunity to weigh in on the matter.
Over the past couple of months, there have been concerns among many parents in
Some folks feel the defeat of the school levy will have a negative impact.
"I was personally shocked because I thought the community was really behind its' school system. I don't know if it's because people are tried of taxes, or whatever reason they had against the school system," said Daniel Wright, a Morgan County Resident.
"I was actually shocked because I thought that the community would support it. I thought they would support children more than they did," said Dave Griffiths, another Morgan County Resident.
There has even been some uncertainty among the school staff. Since the May vote, 20 educators have resigned.
"Unfortunately some of our best people have left our system. Some of our best teachers have moved on," said David Banks, Superintendent of Morgan County School District. "There are neighboring counties that have more jobs, job security still growing and more students coming in. They are building new schools; there is certainly job security in those locations."
Over the next couple of weeks, the Morgan county school system is holding meetings. School officials say they want to hear from the parents and community.
"We are listening; we are going to do a whole lot of listening. We are going to find out what people are comfortable with, what they can support, both for their family and financial perspective also knowing what they would like to see in a good school system," said Banks.
The board of education is also conducting a survey, combined with the results of the meetings. The board will then decide which issues will be on the voting ballots during a special levy election in May of 2014.
"When the levy passes, that will be place immediately. In other words the school system would not have to go without that extra funding for a year, in will be in place immediately," said Banks.
The meetings are at the school board office at

Nokia has launched its Music+ premium service in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, further expanding the coverage available to Windows Phone consumers. Available for just €3.99 a month, those who own Lumia Windows Phones will be able to unlock more advanced features when tuning into playlists in the Nokia Music app.
The manufacturer is clearly looking to provide an alternative service for those who can't access (or don't wish to use) Xbox Music. Numerous markets have been added to the pool (most recent being the United Arab Emirates and Singapore) of support and we can only imagine that more will be included as the year progresses.

Thread: Billick Stays?
Re: Billick Stays?
I'm not judging Billick based on this year alone. It's the years of ineptness on offense, the lack of developing a QB, the constant "we'll get better and move on" excuses, etc. He's too stubborn to make the necessary changes to point us in the right direction. His time is over...I thank him for the SB, but it's time to start fresh. That means all coaches go and whoever is the new HC let them decide who to keep and who to let go.M&T Bank Stadium - Section 513
Proud Season Ticket Holder since 1998
Re: Billick Stays?
Sure, I understand that. If the FO wants to fire him for, since 1999, having had only three years with arguably effective offenses, and even then we are *not* talking about good offenses, just effective, I'd understand.
I don't think we've had a franchise quarterback here, and I am doubtful we've ever had a good OC, but that's hard to tell from the outside. Maybe Mike Nolan, but he doesn't really count now, does he.
Anyway we will see. This will be an important off season, as will the one following, as we build toward 09 in my humble opinion.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
Re: Billick Stays?
We've never had a franchise QB here. That blame goes on Billick, Ozzie and the draft people. But we've had good QBs that come in and go to crap once they are here. I can't name a good OC we've had...but the problem is Billick will not either hire one or give play-calling over to one. That's the stubborn aspect of Billick I can no longer take. He refuses to make the necessary changes or give people chances to try something different.M&T Bank Stadium - Section 513
Proud Season Ticket Holder since 1998
Re: Billick Stays?
Baloney...the big picture is that Billick has produced ONE playoff win since 2000....get a clue people. Let me say that again...1 post season win in the last 7 years. And you want to give this joker more time?
His lax discipline style doesn't work
His offensive scheme doesn't work
His play calling doesn't work
Do you really need another stretch of 4 years where we miss the playoffs 3 times to make a change? Or do you need them to have a year like Miami this year?
Good grief, isn't 9 years of a horrible offense enough?
Re: Billick Stays?
It's not like Billick has been here just a few years....it's been 9 FRIGGIN YEARS!!!

Re: Billick Stays?
People constantly bring up QB inconsistencies, and they have a point, but our o-line has been the most inconsistent part of this team. Sometimes they can run block but not pass block. Sometimes it's vice-versa. They can never do both. It's sort of difficult to game plan around such an inconsistent line, and it's even harder to be a decent QB behind that line. Many of us have been clamoring about the o-line for 10 years. Fix the o-line and you will fix the offense. A game breaking receiver wouldn't hurt either.
Re: Billick Stays?
"Fix the o-line and you will fix the offense. A game breaking receiver wouldn't hurt either."
This is a joke right....you think it's this simple? It's WAY more than this.
The ONE constant here for the offensive ineptitude is Billick's system. Until the system goes, it doesn't matter what players we have. His "play not to lose" philosophy doesn't work...it's that simple.
When trailing 37-7 last night he is still pounding Willis up the middle. WTF? Billick calls games like a big pu--y and I am sick and tired of his crappy offense.
Re: Billick Stays?
The OL is young and takes time to mature. JO has lost his fire to play. To me saying the OL is more inconsistent then QB play is crazy.M&T Bank Stadium - Section 513
Proud Season Ticket Holder since 1998
Re: Billick Stays?
But there have been other consistencies. We have never had a franchise quarterback. We just haven't. And until the last two years, the FO has thrown relatively little money at that side of the ball.
Anyway, Fanman, you and me both are looking forward to what a new offense will bring next year. I anticipate BB will still be here, but will have (with a sigh of relief from BB, I would guess) turned the reins over to somebody else.Festivus

Re: Billick Stays?
I'm not gonna bail on Billick just yet. In today's NFL teams can go from first to worst in a nanosecond. What I want to see is if Billick can help us rebound as strong as we have in previous years under his reign following a poor season (which nearly all have been due to multiple injuries to key players).
He's on thin ice with me, but I'll give him until next season to pull out the Zamboni...

Re: Billick Stays?
I'm pretty much done with Billick. That said, he's not the only one that needs to be seriously evaluated. I know Ozzie and the scouting department are holy around here but to me, they are to blame for the almost total lack of depth we have. If a first stringer goes down anyplace on the field we have nobody to replace them that is decent. We have never had a decent quarterback. That stuff stems from Ozzie's department.
What I blame Billick for is the lack of control and discipline that permeates this team. Do you honestly think all of the Pats like Belichick? Hell no, they play for him because he demands it and if they don't he gets rid of them in a second. Billick doesn't demand anything of this bunch of egos, he pampers and babies and kisses ass with them. Part of that I blame on Bisciotti and his public stripping of Billick. The message went out loud and clear to every player on the team, it's ours we are in control, Billick can't do anything to us and that's exactly how they conduct themselves. Do you ever hear of Billick fining a player? sitting a player down? anything??? No you don't.
Billick really has to go, he can't reign the players in at this point. The only concern I have about dumping him is who do you get to replace him and will they be able to get control of the team. These guys have been running things so long they aren't going to be happy suddenly having to take orders.

Re: Billick Stays?
One interesting point about the o-line; when Cavanaugh left and Billick didn't give the job to then o-line coach Jim Colletto, Colletto left.
That was after 2003.
Since then the o-line has been a train wreck except for last year.
The guy who replaced the line coach, Forrester, really seems to suck at coaching a VERY important position.
Forrester was a Billick "BUDDY"
So was Jim Fassel.
Both were/are ineffective coaching here.
I actually think Neuheisel might know his shit, which is why he distanced himself from Billick's offense early on when asked how he was going to run the offense now that he was the coordinator by saying "It's still Brian's offense."
Smart guy to know a wreck before it happens.
I just thought it was kind of interesting about the coaching effectiveness of Jim Colletto compared to the other memebers of Billick's "Crew" outside of Neuheisel.

text: Kleiza got the better of Delfino IMO. Nene had his way with whoever he wanted for most of the first half. Prince played Melo tough, and they went back and forth at one another (rivalry) but it seemed like Melo got the best of Tay in the end, albeit by a little. JMax got abused by Martin when he was guarding him and didn't really score a lot on KMart. The stat line is in JMax's favor, but I'd say KMart is still the teacher and JMax the student. Blalock, rough day at the office. I can't say that Flip Murray was particularly good. And Billups allowed a lot of penetration. Way too much Andre Miller dancing around in the paint for my liking. Denver has too many scorers to allow a so-so finisher like Miller to set up his perimeter scorers. This isn't defense specific but Dice is just slow. I know I am probably approaching "player hater" territory, but he hasn't been very good in the last year, and I see more of the same. Ill-timed fouls, slow rotations, passive defense and even more passive offense. The Nugs have our #. It's like 2004 all over again with the Nets. Billups has to be a hot outside shooter (see last year's Suns away game) and the team has to rebound and make hustle plays to hang with these fun'n gun squads. Quite simply, this is not a very fast team. Athletic as all get out, but not very quick.

Thread: Back Tension Releases
Back Tension Releases
Give me your opinions on this matter. Should I strictly blind bale for the first few weeks or shoot regularly or mix them both up evenly? I have bought my first BT release its a Tru-Ball Ultra 3 I got it for $20. I would like to start out right with it. Also I have it setup for alot of travel is this better or should I heat thinks up a little? Thanks for the help. Now tell me Adam is there anything wrong with this release? I know you have an opinion go ahead and let me have it. Thanks fellas
I have been shooting a Carter Target 4 for a few years. Just bought a TRU Ball ST-3 yesterday for $150.00. I do not like a lot of travel, to much travel can lead to anticipation of the shot..
03-26-2006, 10:07 AM #3LeftyPaGuest
Hi I would shoot the bail or blank target.I would set release up for small amt. of travel,Get comfortable with release and equipment before you aim.Then pull stright through target.

Before you develop any bad habits, you should get a good coach to help you learn which muscles to use and which muscles not to used when shooting BT. I wasted about 18 months until I found someone who showed me what the books & videos couldn't show me. In fact he showed me how to do it without a bow. We just used a loop of string that was set to my draw length. I used this for two weeks so that I could learn the feel of the muscles without worrying about punching myself in the face.
After that, several weeks on blank bale will put you far ahead, but only if you know what you should be practicing. Like every release, a BT hinge release can be used wrong. If you are practicing the wrong things, it won't be any better than any other release.
You have a good release. If it fits your hand, it will take you as far as you want to go.
Once you figure out how to operate it, you will know how much travel works best for you.
Good luck,

Take a kid with you. Show them the Great Outdoors. Pass it on.
Well said Allen...there are to many guys out there using a back tension the wrong way...Unless you are willing to put a lot of time into learning how to shoot it the right way, I would not travel down the back tension road. I see to many guys on a tru BT that roll the top down with there hand to make it go off. Or the one's who use a trigger BT who hammer it like a index trigger release..It takes work and dedication to learn how to shoot a BT the right way.. Draw length is another thing with the BT..you need to be set right or you might have some issues with making it go off..
The stick bow is a good idea Pinky,but if you do not have someone to show you how it i done the right way. Then there is a chance you are going to pick up a bad habit some where a long the way.I have so much confidence in mine that I have hunted with it the last couple of years...

If you don't have anyone to show you how to use a BT release, there is a video that does a pretty good job. Larry Skinner's "Archery Shot Execution". This is directed primarily to Olympic recurve finger shooters so much of it is not applicable to shooting a compound with a release. However, he does show exactly which muscles to use. One of his students has much less body fat than most of us, so the rhomboid and trapezius muscles are easily seen.
Larry's book by the same name also has a lot of good information.
Larry is Vic Wonderle's coach (2004 silver medal) and is now the assistant coach for the US Olympic Archery Team in Chula Vista, CA.

One of my favorite things to do is go to my mom's house for dinner. There's just something about my momma's cooking.
After staying at her house a few days while I had some home repairs completed, she made one of my favorites — broccoli casserole.
As a kid, you couldn't get me to eat broccoli if you paid me a million dollars. But now this dish is a favorite.
It's even better the next day as leftovers. It's almost like food crack.
She doesn't make the kind with crumbled up crackers on top. Mom uses rice mixed in with the broccoli as well as delicious cheese and other ingredients. She leaves out the celery and onion in the recipe listed.
While she was making dinner we talked about cooking. It's something you have to enjoy to do well, she said.
Most of the good cooks she knew were people who enjoyed eating and making good, hot meals. When she first got married she said she didn't cook much. Her mom cooked for a school district and was a cake decorator but Mom didn't do much cooking growing up.
After she married, she became involved with the Stephensburg Homemakers. She credits those ladies with helping her expand her cooking and enjoying it.
There is at least one dish I remember growing up that I wish she hadn't made. It basically was macaroni in tomato paste — not sauce. This was not my favorite. She said Papaw Owsley always liked it, but to me, it just looked like brains.
But other than that, she's one of my favorite cooks. I'd almost rather eat at her house than a restaurant.
Also for this meal she made a roast with potatoes and carrots. She told me the secret to her roast was to add an envelope of Lipton onion soup mix and a can of Campbell's golden mushroom soup. She usually cooks her roast, if it's a large one, in the slow cooker all day until dinner time.
My mom also is known as the queen of sweet tea. This is good old southern sweet tea full of sugar. It is so good she became the designated tea maker for many events.
Another favorite of mine is a dessert she makes called Strawberry Delight. This also can be made in a chocolate or butter pecan version but strawberry is my favorite.
It's a cold, layered dessert I could eat a pan full of.
My brother's favorite meal cooked by Mom is pork chops, mashed potatoes and fried apples. I have to admit, that's one of my favorites, too.
Mom might not be a fancy cook, although she does like to try new things. But her home-cooked meals are a treat. No matter how many times I make these recipes, they always are better in her kitchen.

FOX Business News contributors agree: "As Kerry's numbers increase, the market seems to go down"; too bad it's not accurate
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
During a panel discussion on the effect of politics on the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the July 22 edition of Your World w/ Neil Cavuto, FOX Business News contributor Meredith Whitney said, "As [Senator John] Kerry's numbers increase, the market seems to go down on almost a one-for-one correlation" -- an erroneous claim for which she provided no evidence. Nonetheless, FOX News business analyst and contributor Scott Bleier "totally" agreed.
From the July 22 edition of FOX News Channel's Your World w/ Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: Meredith, do you agree with that, that that's what's dominating the theme -- fears that this president might not get reelected?
WHITNEY: I think that's one easy way, uh, easy point you can point to in terms of why businesses aren't spending more. A lot of managers are using the uncertainty over the election to hold off plans on hiring. ... As [Senator John] Kerry's numbers increase, the market seems to go down on almost a one-for-one correlation.
CAVUTO: Scott, do you buy that -- that the better things look for Senator Kerry, the worse things look for the market?
BLEIER: I have to agree with it totally.
In fact, a comparison of Kerry's poll numbers with the performance of the Dow presents a different reality. At the beginning of the segment, Cavuto introduced this graph, saying of the Dow, "It's just a number, but it's a powerfully important psychological one":
[screen shot of "DOW SINCE MAY" graph from the first minute of the July 22 edition of Your World w/ Neil Cavuto]*
In contrast with the Dow's fluctuations, Gallup poll numbers for Kerry-Edwards '04 during the same time period have hovered around the 50 percent mark:
As Media Matters for America reported on July 6, Cavuto said on his show that the stock market was experiencing an "Edwards Dip" as a result of Kerry's announcement that he had chosen Senator John Edwards (D-NC) as his vice-presidential running mate. Cavuto made the statement despite FOX News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes's past repudiation of the practice of news outlets drawing causal connections between statements by political figures and short-term stock market behavior.

Greetings, my fellow outdoorsman!
I just moved up to the great state of Washington, around the Lake. I've hunted deer, pheasant, turkey, chukar, and even duck. I have never hunted geese or duck solo on public land, and being so darn close to the amount of public land I am close to, abstaining from the harvest this season seems downright sinful. I'm wondering if any of you knowledgable folks have any information on hunting geese/duck in the Shillapoo area; any blinds that I can reserve, or any safe places where it'd be good to hunt from. To be honest, any information on duck/geese hunting would be greatly appreciated. Even if you're just pointing me to a post on this forum, I'd really appreciate the help.

Kate Gosselin is speaking out about a photo of her that some have dubbed racist.
"Clarification on my personal photo that was stored on our 'home computer,' that recently surfaced and was released to the public, without my permission," she wrote on her blog.
"This was a happy memory of mine. It was a happy time for me and Jon, smiling and 'goofing off' together. Jon and I were opening fan mail together one afternoon - which often filled the garage of our Elizabethtown home - and when we opened this plastic Asian dress up wig sent from a caring fan, we smiled, each taking turns posing in it and snapping photos (on my phone) of each other. Naturally, I 'slanted' my eyes to show him my best Asian impression, which made him smile," she continued.
WATCH: Kate Gosselin Denies Daughter Water
(View the photo in question of Kate)
Kate went on to defend the photo, which was taken along with ex-husband Jon Gosselin also wearing a sumo wrestler-esque plastic wig
"Evidently, a fan sent it for me to wear so that I too could 'be Asian' like the rest of my family. At that time, a common topic of our show was 'everybody's Asian' - except for mommy, so a thoughtful fan figured she'd help me look Asian too! It's normal to talk about and even 'exaggerate' the feature differences between family members of a biracial family as they are noticed by curious growing children within the family. These types of discoveries and at home discussions are a normal part of being a loving accepting biracial family and it does not make any of us prejudice!" she wrote.
WATCH: Kate Gosselin On The Demise Of Her Marriage: Was It Doomed From The Start?
The mother of eight firmly stood by the photo and slammed anyone questioning her racial sensitivity.
Adding, "I married an Asian. I have eight biracial children therefore I'm quite certain that I'm the last person that could be called a racist. I learned to cook Korean foods from Jon's mom and grandmother. I couldn't be more proud of my eight beautiful children and wouldn't change anything about them or their heritage. They are absolutely perfect just the way they are."

Legal recreational pot industry opens in Colorado
The nation's first recreational pot industry has opened in Colorado, kicking off a marijuana experiment that will be watched closely around the world.
Activists hope it will prove that legalization is a better alternative than the costly American-led drug war.
Business owners who threw their doors open for shoppers at 8 a.m. Wednesday, meanwhile, are hoping the fledgling industry will prove to generate as much revenue as state officials hope it will.
At least 24 pot shops in eight towns scrambled to get ready for the opening, increasing staff and inventory and hiring extra security. Washington state also legalized recreational pot, and its industry opens in mid-2014.
Legalization critics warn that increased access will lead to an increase in drug abuse, including among teenagers, and crime.

Steele: Hey, at least I won
posted at 2:41 pm on November 12, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Look who's getting a shot at a little vindication after nearly two years of criticism:
Steele led the committee during the 2010 cycle, when Republicans took control of the U.S. House. But he lost re-election to Priebus in 2011 after many Republicans argued that Steele had left the committee's finances in shambles.
"What was the mess I left behind?" Steele said Monday in response to a question from The Daily Caller during a conference call organized by his firm. "Winning."
"I get the Washington B.S. and all of that when it comes to trying to make me look bad," he said. "But hey, the facts are the facts."
Well, it wasn't just the finances, either. The RNC ended up with a poor GOTV effort in the 2010 election which some blamed for limiting the gains driven by grassroots organizations, as well as the poor fundraising cycle. There was also the matter of the thousands of dollars in GOP-covered expenses at a Los Angeles strip club that didn't exactly match up with the family-values message, too, and a series of public-relations gaffes that left Republicans steaming during his tenure.
Steele's point about the difference between his treatment and Debbie Wasserman Schultz' is well taken, though:
Steele also suggested that there's a double standard at play, noting that the Democratic National Committee is also in debt but the committee's chairwoman hasn't faced the same questions he did about his spending.
"The DNC has, what, $15 million debt? Have you guys looked into that? Chairman [Debbie Wasserman-Schultz} has a $15 million line of credit. And she won. I had a $15 million line of credit and I won. But everyone treats that as if that's a negative."

so 20 work days times 75 miles commute (and probably a little extra for errands after work) gives 1500 miles monthlyCarey Bailey, an electrical engineer from Cottage Grove, Ore., used to spend about $500 a month in gasoline for his 75-mile roundtrip commute.
add in probably 30 a day for weekends and that gives you 240 monthly for the weekends.
(He probably liked to go up into the mountains as well on the weekends and that would add even more miles onto his vehicle total...but i'm not going to pile on for that)
Total: 1740 miles at 15 mpg (if he was driving a large BMW, Crown Vic, pickup or jeep which is common in Cottage Grove, Oregon) and you get 116 gallons of gas. Price of gas back when he bought was around 4.25 for premium and it's conceivable he was using premium
Add it up and you get 492 dollars a month for gas
At first it seems inconceivable that gas could cost that much. That's because most of us are already driving more fuel efficient cars and not doing that many miles
I'm going to give him the benefit of the nod to acknowledge he was very well forking out a ton for gas.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have four children, when there are other kids involved I have ALWAYS asked for permission to let the other children do something. Even if it has been done before. I expect the same in return.
Children don't always give all the details, they can be sneaky, and also their attention spans aren't very long. Their thinking processes also leaves something to be desired.
My son is 13, (he is also high functioning aspie) we were getting ready to some someplace nice. He went outside, which was fine as long as he didn't get dirty. The neighbor boy and his dad came outside with water guns and gave my son one to play with. He didn't think about it of course and joined in. Needless to say I was pretty mad.
I'd probably be mad about both the mud and the rough play (more so the rough play, maybe the mud depending on what we had going on) and the fact that you did not ask for the OK from the parents first. (granted I wouldn't let my child in that situation.)
Your dog five months ago and your dog now (and in between) isn't always the same dog. I don't mean that your dog would hurt the boy, but if you allow rough play like that then the chances of an accident happening just keep getting better and better.
If the dad was only participating in the playing 5 months ago, he was playing with a different dog. A 12 week old GSD is a world away from an 8 month old.
It might be time for Timmy to do some other activity with Hoby that is more appropriate, now that the dog is quickly turning into a powerful adult. He may like to get on YouTube and learn how to teach your dog some very nifty tricks.
Win-win all around.
Times have changed
Thank you all for your responses, thoughts and advise. I guess some times one can get tunnel vision when feeling offended, so I thought I would bring it here. People with good intentions and knowledge can help one sort things out. Hoby is 8 months old. Timmy has known Hoby for over 5 of those months. At the beginning I stayed with Tim and his Dad to supervise. All went well. I would watch Tim and Hoby play through the back windows of my house and go out frequently to check on them. The play was active but no pushing or knocking down ever happened. That would have been an instant game over. Mud flies all over the place when over a frosted base and the ensuing play magnified it. Timmy took my instructions very well and by the way was never locked in the pen. He was taught how to let himself out and to keep the dog in; just let me know when you leave. Cell phones were also in use. His family is across the street and they can see my pen. I do agree that perhaps as Timmy matures and the nice puppy turns into an adult the relationship will probably fizzle. I like the idea of a group walk. I have known the Mom's family for years and they had dogs. Perhaps the risk does out way the good intentions. In all my years of dog ownership and training I have never had a mishap with a child, but I guess there is always a first time. I think I will pop over when I see the Dads mud free car on a dry day. The Berkshires of Massachusetts is my location [I guess being a British Sports Car nut all my life came through] where my home is backed up to a forest......By the way when I was 12 I use to take care of dogs as a part time job regardless of the weather conditions. People were away for a day, days or a week. I loved doing it. I was given keys to homes and instructions for care. My K9 clients were 2 standard French Poodles, a Siberian Husky, a GSD and a miniature poodle. All in different homes. Never had a problem with the dogs or the people. I guess times have really changed.

OP means well but I'm with Carmen. Not a good idea and not something I'd ever permit.
If dad gets mad over mud, imagine what would happen over a little scratch?
Even though my dogs are kid friendly, I don't even let them pet my dogs any longer. One of the neighborhood kids wanted to pet our sweet little Aussie. I said O.K. Little girl (who has a boxer at home & had petted Autumn before) petted Autumn's head, Autumn gently licked her hand, little girl SCREECHED like she'd been attacked by a lion and ran away at top speed. Poor little Autumn tried to take off in the opposite direction thinking 'lion attack' as well I'm sure (I had her on leash).
Anyhoo, that day I decided no more kids allowed to mess with my dogs in any way. Period, end of story. It's just not worth the aggravation and possible misunderstanding with unpredictable bizzarro kid behavior not to mention kid's parents.
what is the fixation on the mud?
what it did do is reveal what KIND of play there is , a lot of physical contact , jumping , pushing, knocking down.
you do NOT leave a dog alone with a CHILD .
this is such poor judgement on all parties - father, and dog owner .
|I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but maybe the father was going to take the boy somewhere and was a little upset he was covered in dirt. It could be just as simple as talking to the parents and finding out what would be acceptable as far as play on what days.if he's come over before and gotten muddy I'm sure at least one of the parents is aware of it and it didnt stop them from letting him come over then.
I agree with Carmen 100%.
I never allowed rough housing, period. Dogs and kids get stronger, bigger and don't always think first. Things get out of hand fast when you are present never mind when you're not there to supervise. I had a very serious female (with a serious bark) and with a swimming pool and a skating rink we were the house kids came to all of the time. I wouldn't dream of leaving her out alone with the kids. Too much liability. I would never risk people or dogs getting injured...not necessary. Dogs loved the kids and kids loved the dogs, parents were mostly unsure and some afraid, some not. All these years and many dogs later I have never compromised on those two rules and it has served us all well.
|I would of probably looked at him and said. "Train the dog to do what? Heat the mud up with a hair dryer before he plays in his pen? Or maybe learn how to stop it from raining so as not to get muddy?" So sorry for your dog & the boy.
|OMG, mud. It must be the end of the world.

For a long time I've held the position that we should not attempt geo-engineering, and most environmentalists/ecologists will be horrified at the possibility. But what do you think?:
Four-Degrees Briefing for the World Bank: The Risks of a Future Without Climate Policy
Don't forget that the excess CO2 will still acidify the oceans, and (unilateral) geo-engineering could increase droughts with resultant effects on food security, and conflict...
So rather than discussing climate science in general, what do engineers think about geo-engineering in particular?

The following interview article arrived in my in box the other day: One of the world's leading geo-engineering proponents, Harvard Professor David Keith
So for example, carbon dioxide makes the ocean more acidic and doing these things to cool the planet will do nothing to correct that. So in the end we will have to cut emissions no matter what, but the fact that we have to cut emissions in the long run doesn't mean that we might not want to do things in the short run that actually provide real protection, if in fact they do, protecting people from heat stress or protecting the Arctic from melting.
So I think we need to get out of the kind of extreme either/or that says you only do this if you can't cut emissions. That's nonsense. Cutting emissions we need to do in order to reduce the risks over the next century or two, but we still might want to do some of this in order to reduce the risks over the next half century and those are really quite distinct things .... I think for better, for worse, what this technology gives us is this enormous kind of leverage and power to alter the climate and to do it with a very small amount of money or material and that power should frighten us, I think, and it presents real deep problems for governance. ... you could imagine India doing it unilaterally ...

If you get the chance take a look at this program http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hr6bk if you have not already seen it. Most of the program is the 'normal' stuff which is widely known but in this program an 'energy specialist' is asked to do some calculations with regards to our future energy requirements, and is given some very reasonable guidelines on what those requirements will be. He is asked to work out what energy sources can then provide for those requirements and how quick they would need to be built etc., etc. The results are quite staggering and yet these are additional energy requirements.
This led me to the conclusion that regardless of CO2 or 'climate change' some major readjustments are going to have to be made at some time. The fact is we need to become more efficient in our use of energy just to have a chance of standing still, so to speak. This means, for example, put on extra clothes and turn the heating down a bit both at home and at work. How many offices do you see which are very cosy and warm in the winter months? How many people still make uncessessary journeys in their cars or on planes? How many business people still fly abroad for meetings when businesses could instead make use of communication tools like Skype? The company I work for committed to being CO2 neutral by 2020 and we have one of the worlds leading energy specialists working for us....he was learning his trade from 30 years ago before it became a popular subject. The company is a high energy user but has cut its energy use by about 35% in 4 years through investment in energy saving projects with regards to lighting, boilers, cooling water systems, resizing of chilled storage areas, etc. Now most of these have a payback in reduced energy costs and minor tax savings etc., however they still require a financial investment and for someone within the company to be able to look at the energy use and work out where savings can be made etc. How many companies are able to do this?
There remains a huge potential for energy saving but a part of this also requires people to make some changes to their lifestyles and thus far I do not see the appetite for it. Human behaviour is on the whole more inclined to act in the last moment, i.e., when the flames are licking at the door, so to speak, and as we know if at that point the fire is beyond control then all we can do is hope to escape to a safer place. As Mr Hawking said, Earth is our only home and so we have all our eggs in one basket and so let's hope we do not drop the basket.
We need to reduce our energy usage just to stand still while working on providing new sustainable energy sources.....regardless of whether it is to cut CO2 or just to provide a better standard of living for the bulk of the worlds population. Geo-engineering may have a part to play but there are other better options available at this time, in my opinion.
14 December 2012 01:13 PM
Geoff, what problem are we trying to solve here? Temperatures haven't risen this century. Hurricanes and storm strengths are at a record low. Sea levels have been rising at roughly the same 3mm/yr rate for hundreds of years without causing any problems. Crop yields are at record highs. Even your favourite alarmists at the IPCC admitted that warming up to 2oC would be a net benefit - improving crop yields and reducing deaths from cold - chance would be a fine thing - it looks like we're heading for colder times with the sun entering a funk.
Westonpa, sounds like you haven't heard about the shale gas revolution. There are huge deposits all over the globe. The "Peak Oil" meme is over, done, a busted flush. We've got enough gas to last hundreds of years - and after that nuclear will last us thousands. The Malthusians have been proved wrong yet again. Although I don't expect that'll stop them doomongering.
14 December 2012 01:59 PM
Ipay, I have heard of the shale gas revolution....it's brought down the energy bills in the USA and the government have just given the go ahead to restart drilling here in the UK. I am all for it.

Geoff, do you ever post any original thoughts which don't consist exclusively of links to left-wing alarmist rags like 'New Scientist' and 'Climate Progress?'.
The new scientist article relates to a non-peer reviewed spot check on natural gas seeps. "They found higher levels of methane in the air above the Tara gas field... The team suspect fracking changes the soil structure, letting more methane escape. The work is undergoing peer review."
Regarding your second link to the notoriously biased Howarth paper, a later paper from Cornell demonstrated their analysis was seriously flawed as did another from the University of Maryland, not to mention this recent EU study which also rubbishes Howarth's claims. But by that time the bogus Howarth claims, so welcomed by the multi-billion dollar green subsidy farming industry, had already travelled several times around the world.
