the best milk thistle available
I purchased this product based on the fact that it was the only product of it's kind that passed Consumer Labs.com's potency and purity tests. All of the other brands failed. It has helped my liver enzymes return to normal. I had used other brands for the past 4 yrs, however they did not work for me. It pays to use Quality supplements. I only wished that i had researced this before using worthless products for those 4 yrs.
Was this review helpful to you?

I have been on milk thistle for about 1 year. I do not take other supplements except Omega 3 fish oil. I discovered lumps in both breasts and were really worried. Have them checked (ultrasound etc.) and found out that they are cysts. My doc asked me if I am on HRT. I said "NO". I told him I am on milk thistle for liver health. He told me that our body will recognize milk thistle as estrogen. I have too much estrogen and that leads to breast cysts. I stopped the milk thistle for about 3 weeks and the cysts have gone much smaller. Hope this helps.
High Purity Milk Thistle

This product is of the highest purity. Jarrow is an Israeli company. They produce their formulas to the highest pharmaceutical purity. Only one complaint about this Milk Thisle; the amount of milligrams per capsule is low compared to other brands. In any event, I would recommend about 900 milligrams per day, thats 6 capsules per day. Remember there is no medically recorded toxicity for Milk Thistle, so you could go up to 2 grams a day (2000 milligrams).Milk thistle has an excellent ability to lower liver enzymes and is an anti-oxidant. Another Herb very close to Milk Thistle in it's properties is Picrorrhiza Kurroa. This is a Indian herb from the middle east. It also lowers liver enzymes and has no known toxicity in humans. Jarrow includes this herb in their liver formula's (Liver-PF). Other nutrients to consider when taking milk thistle are Alpha Lipoic Acid, Lecithin, CQ-10, and NAC. All these nutirents are anti-oxidants and help the liver in many different ways.
good quality product

I am a big fan of Jarrow's products. They are consistent quality products. I take their milk thistle regularly to support my liver function and have seen the benefits in my blood work as a result.

Look in the London hospitals, Milk Thistle is used in the emergency room to support people's livers who've just returned from hunting mushrooms & ate the poisoned ones. It's a common treatment there that has been used effectively for years to my knowledge.

I started taking silymarin 2 decades ago to protect my liver because of medicines prescribed for a variously diagnosed chronic illness. Six years ago my "mystery illness" was finally diagnosed as chronic Lyme disease, along with a couple other tick-borne diseases. Periodically since then I have been on intensive antibiotic regimens to control the infection (and a new one acquired last year). Because I take silymarin consistently, in all that time I have had only one "out-of-range" liver panel-- and that was due to an antibiotic (Ketek) that was subsequently pulled from the market because so many people were effected this way. Jarrow products are consistently highly rated in tests for reliability and consistency. You know if Jarrow says a certain amount of something is present, it is. Though other products claim a larger % of silymarin, I trust Jarrow.

Must rely on Consumer Lab - no way to tell about MT? Update: Not for women with fibroids. I know doc's recom for estrogen driven cancers and estrogen dom (it cleans liver, so important) but it can actually increase estrogen load. Metabl as estrogen.

Inhofe's last stand
The second great example was Carter making an appeal to authority (using NASA and the Russian Academy of Science) for his contention that world is likely to cool in coming decades. Of course scientists at NASA are at the forefront of studies of anthropogenic climate change so a similar authority would presumably apply to them, and the Russian Academy was one of 11 that called on the G8 to take climate change seriously, but let's gloss over that inconsistency. The nuggets of science Carter was referring to are predictions for the next couple of solar cycles – a tricky business in fact, and one in which there is a substantial uncertainty. However, regardless of that uncertainty, NASA scientists have definitively not predicted that this will cause an absolute cooling – at best, it might reduce the ongoing global warming slightly (which would be good) (though see here for what they actually said). Two Russians scientists have indeed made such a 'cooling' prediction though, but curiously only in a press report rather than in any peer-reviewed paper, and clearly did not speak for the Academy in doing so, but never mind that. Of course, if Carter seriously thought that global cooling was likely, he should be keen to take up some of James Annan's or Brian Schmidt's attractive offers – but like the vast majority of 'global coolers', his money does not appear to be where his mouth is. It's all classic contrarian stuff.
With the new Senate coming in January, it seems likely that this kind of disinformational hearing will become less common and more climate policy-related hearings will occur instead. These won't provide as much fodder for us to debunk, but they might serve the much more useful function of actually helping craft appropriate policy responses.
Ah… truly the end of an age.

Let's say someone is asking $10k. Assuming average circumstances, is $7k to $8k an expected offer, $5k lowball and $2k ridiculous?
In my case the broker gave me the soldboats printout for the last dozen similar Bristols sold, which gives you the initial asking and sold prices. Using this I decided that a 20% low first offer was reasonable.

Used to call it the "flinch test". If the reaction to your FIRST bid is not an obvious one, you are too high! All kinds of cautions though. Some folks will get offended and end discussion, so if its a boat you really want, be a bit more cautious. Also don't try to "steal" every boat, but if the boat has been for sale for a few years, its worth a shot. If its a Bristol condition Hinckley, be honest and say its way out of my price range, I cant afford more than Y. It might start a conversation. A couple of examples, my Mariner 28 was listed for $12,000, had been taken by the yard for non payment of fees, and was not producing income. I bid $2700, expecting a counter around 4,000 but they sold it to me. Not as great a deal as it looks. There were some odds and ends I should have included in the sale, but didn't and cost me another few thousand before I got it in the water. I will spend over 10,000 by the time its the way I want it, but a lot of it will be new and the way I want it. A friend bought a Catalina 30 for around $4000 and a Ranger 33 went for $500.00 (no sails)! "abandoned" boats may need a lot of maintenance. But if you are careful you can be sailing a great boat, and fix it up as you schedule "maintenance". Its a lot like poker, and a lot depends on the interaction between buyer and seller or buyer and broker. If you've been looking all this time, and I mean looking at physically boats, not just reading ads, you've got a good handle on the market. Have at it! Good Luck!

Be wary of hidden flaws that pictures and amateur surveys miss. Wet cores, rigging issues, engine issues, worn sails can be expensive. With some less expensive boats, it is routine that these issues exceed the value of the boat. That's why so many sit abandon in marinas. I'm not trying to scare you away. Just don't assume the biggest discount is the best boat.

Thanks for bumping this thread, I'd forgotten all about it. I had a good time re-reading it with all the good advice.
Well it's been 3 months since I started this thread and last weekend my wife and I just completed the CYA Day Skipper course. I had a great time despite having to clear the ice off the deck on some mornings. I guess that means I have the sailing bug bad. My wife was not as enthusiastic on those mornings
I still don't have a boat but I'm still looking. I'm going to look at a Tanzer 7.5 tomorrow that is 2hrs away; I'm going to visit family in the same direction so I figured why not. They are asking less than $3000 which peaked my interest, and the pictures look good inside and out. I think I'm willing to compromise on having 6' standing headroom for that price, especially since it has a real head and a roller furling. Plus I can always sail it back to Victoria in a couple weekends....I think
I stumbled on (via a google search) a thread here with a large list of good starter boats in the 23ft to 25ft range, but I'll be damned if I can find it again.
I still sway back in forth between something like the Tanzer 7.5 and something bigger like a Cat27 with a diesel. I like the idea of a diesel, but I worry about high maintenance costs, especially if something catastrophic happens.
I need to buy something soon before I go crazy from looking. If it were possible to "wear out" the Craigslist website I'd have done it by now!
The C25 is pretty roomy for it's size and loads of fun to sail. I think you might outgrow it quickly.
If you don't mind possibly moving up in a couple of years there are loads of great deals on used boats in the under 10K market. Don't be afraid to low ball.
Depending on your needs, the C27 is a great day sailor with comparable living space to many older 30 ft boats.
Welcome! I had a 22 for years, and moved up to a 28 last year. 22's become cramped very quickly, I'd suggest a 25 or the 27. I was nervous about the "big jump" to 28, but an hour on the water and I wondered what I was worried about. The bigger boat is easier to sail and a heck of a lot more comfortable Unless there are specific cost reasons (that is storage costs) for a swing keel and trailer, I'd go go with fixed keel. My experience looking 2 years ago was that a fixed keel was less expensive than a boat and trailer combination. That may have changed. There are no boat junk yards and getting rid of an unwanted hull is a challenge, BUT that fact can work to your advantage as a buyer! Just remember: the most expensive thing in the world is a free boat! Good luck!
Hey Pointy End!
Welcome from another newbie sailor! Took the plunge after a few lessons on Colgate 26 into a 30', my first. At first, people thought me crazy but heck, have been called worse names before! I figured after i bought the boat i had naught but one choice and that is to master it! Not quite there yet, not for a long time, but the road to ownership and sailing is quite fun and adventuresome. I'm glad i took the risk and i love every minute of it! Best of luck and always have fun!
Any of the 22-25 ft boats that have been reasonably well maintained will do what you want. Be aware that the more you spend on a boat the more you either lose or have to get out of it when you sell. Used gear(sails) can help keep costs down. A shorter boat is less expensive to berth and to maintain. Unless you have lots of friends, a 22/23 will work fine. The smaller boat can be sailed with less reliance on winches for halyards and sheets. Being able to adjust the main quickly, lets you learn to play the gusts and you gain some of the dinghy skills without going swiming. On the 6ft thing - it's really about how limber you are. You will be on your knees or sitting on a small boat. If that is not a problem for you, the small boat won't be either. To get full standing headroom is a challenge, but look at boats with a pop top. An open hatch where you need to stand helps too, just be carefull when/where you stand. I'm 6-4 and did Ok on a 5-4 clear cabin. Try a few and see what works for you. But the point is, you do not need standing head room.
Toilets - if you have a girl friend/wife, they will love an electric toilet. It takes a big boat or a creative installation to support one, but is worth the time and money. A very good excuse to buy up when the time comes. In the interim, a good quality porta-poty is as good as a manual marine head. Self contained requires less space and is not so likely to be a maintenance problem. You want to sail, not fix things.
A thought to consider - It's difficult to find, but some folks want separation, even in a small boat. Separate head, separate sleeping, separate storage, separate cooking. Others can do it all in one space. Figure out what you like/need. That will drive you to the type of boat you like.
A boat can be stored on a trailer at a boat yard. Cheap haul out.
Finally - get a tiller - you have time to use a wheel when you retire.
Good Luck

any ways the game lags still. i mean the fps is not stable at all? the game will i dont really know how to explain it will have hang ups? like when i was on my mount the game would hang for a second are two then go on? When there is a lot of players fighting it repeats that over and over? the game is really old so i know my pc should be able to run it. Is this normal for this game. Aslo when i pan the camra down to the ground i get 120 fps but when looking forward it only gos to 60 fps but is not stable?

I haven't been to South Korea, but do people in the U.S and other Western countries consider it to be a "nerdy" nation?
I want to go to S.Korea sometimes, if only to watch Starcraft 2 games.

Delaware Defensive Tackle Zach Kerr Named to Beyond Sports Network All-American Football Team

Kerr, a 6-2, 310 lb. history major from Gaithersburg, Md. (Quince Orchard High School) was selected to the third team and was one of 150 student-athletes honored on the four teams.
He becomes the first Delaware All-American since linebacker Paul Worrilow earned third team The Sports Network and honorable mention College Sports Journal All-American honors last season. Delaware has now had at least one player earn All-American honors 11 times in the last 12 seasons.
The 2013 BSN All America Team was chosen by college sports information directors, college coaches, media, and BSN Staff.
Delaware recently completed it season under first-year head coach Dave Brock with a 7-5 overall mark and a 4-4 slate in CAA play, good for a tie for fifth place in the league standings. The Blue Hens received votes in every The Sports Network Top 25 poll during the season, climbing as high as 15th on Nov. 4.
Kerr, a second-year transfer from Maryland, proved to be one of the league's top interior defensive lineman once again this fall. A co-captain, Kerr recorded 57 tackles (28 solo), including 5.5 tackles for loss (29 yards), 3.5 sacks (24 yard), two pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. He ranked fourth among all CAA down linemen in tackles.
Kerr, who also earned second team All-CAA honors in 2012, collected four or more tackles nine times during the 2013 campaign, including a career-high eight each in victories over Albany and Towson.
A total of 18 CAA players were selected to the four teams, including first teamers Terrance West (RB/Towson), Eric Pike (OT/Towson), Stephon Robertson (LB/James Madison), and Jerome Couplin (S/William & Mary); second teamers Emmanuel Holder (FB/Towson), Justin Perillo (TE/Maine), Telvion Clark (LB/Towson), and Jordan Love (CB/Towson); third teamers Kerr, Dae'Quan Scott (RB/James Madison), Jeff Gakos (OG/Maine), Ryan Delaire (DL/Towson), and Kendall James (CB/Maine); and honorable mention selections Marcus Wasiliewski (QB/Maine), John Robertson (QB/Villanova), RJ Harris (WR/New Hampshire), Randall Harris (OT/Towson), Rahim Cox (DL/Villanova),
Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was named the BSN Offensive Player of the Year while James Madison linebacker Stephon Robertson was selected as the Defensive Player of the Year. Southeast Louisiana kick returner Xavier Roberson was named Special Teams Player of the Year.

Simple 'one word' story game....

Re: Simple 'one word' story game....
The rabies began eating me after the pirate orgy, which was the best viral infection I synthesised, whilst my Asian stepfather touched his black son's stolen micro-film. Afterwards the bike lock suddenly magically transformed the wheels into apple trees. As Cena grabbed furiously onto Vince's stick, the aroma overpoweringly made Triple HHH become increasingly horny. Twenty of the jobbers poured hot diarrhoea all over themselves repeatedly until one of them felt like they wanted novocaine up their, already gaping, assholes. My dream of LSD Ponies ejaculating rainbows onto babies came flooding back into my minds eye.
Exiting the locker-room, Lesnar wiped the sweat off my face and asked me for advice about our tag match. I told him to just keep his game because when facing Slater and his strongest stablemate, THE SHOCKMASTER, we must be wary of their manager, BIG POPPA PUMP. He will cry about the fact that your tan-lines humorously resemble Triple H's nose.
Our music started playing. My mind still elsewhere, I headed for the ring. The match was going to determine the next GMs of Raw and SmackDown. I decided not to think about the hallucination provided by Lesnar's huge zebra-pattern underwear. Nervously, I licked my ice cream cone. "CM Punk" was written on a replica nexus pencil AND on the ice cream. I realised my full potential when my nexus ice cream spoke, saying "I did it for The Rock".
Lesnar had Slater in a pickle. He had him under his massive forearms, in a new submission move 'the Big Lebowski". The Opponent was in a bad way even before Lesnar thrust his copy cat partner (me) back into the ropes causing an EARTHQUAKE which changed the course of the Youknowyouguyscanwritemorethanonewordnowright Project. Then a dog, doing it bunny style, jumped the commentary table north of Lesnar's balls and raped Lawler. Lawler enjoyed it though, because it was a hallucination, the match itself ended quickly because Slater soon tapped out to 'The Big Lebowski', Lesnar and I celebrated by the beach, or maybe that was just the hallucinagenic drugs again. The Straight Edge CM Punk, also with us, was disgusted by our drugs, so he put both me and Lesnar in a double Crippler Crossface until we all urinated, deficated and ejaculated all at the same time. Since this goes against the 'PG Era', the match was declared 'No Contest'. On the way to the locker room we practised our pole dancing, but Brock slipped in a pool of pudding made for the divas match coming up next, Brock fell hard on his backside "Brock's Bottom, Brock's Bottom" screamed JR, clearly emotional, the crowd reacted by singing a remix of "We No Speak Americano" in unison.
Waking up first, Rey's buddy Sin Cara switched off the episode of RAW he'd been watching, disgusted by the appalling booking in the Brock/Slater Tag match. 'I should have been licking Dixie Carters ballsack instead, but Brodus Clay's will have to do' he said, tucking in to that sweaty purse of skin.
Meanwhile back at the arena Swagger had started huffing paint to get the hallucinations started again. The rape dog had returned, looks like the paint worked. Meanwhile at the Hall Of Justice RVD came over with marijuana and shared it among Sonic the Hedgehog and Aquaman. He had also brought bacon sandwiches

Go figure 3 days after I put it on, I swapped out for a different bumper. So now its just sitting in my storage. Goes for $290 from ECS. I'm asking $250, but feel free to shoot me offers.

text: I guess the new forum doesn't have a built-in filter. But, I do agree with the gist of what copper said. We seem to get caught in this get the ball at the perimeter, drive hard to the basket, and then pass it out to another guy so he can take a turn doing the same thing. The guy that gets caught with the ball as the shotclock expires gets the privilege of forcing a higly contested tough shot. There was one sequence where the open shooters kept passing the ball instead of shooting and I was pulling my hair out, and then it ended up with a player for wide open three, and for a split second I thought, "Aha! There is a rhyme and reason to this madness". But then I realized it was Big Ben who actually had to CALL the guards away from the basket where they were starting to box out for a rebound.

text: Watched Anna's exhibition program, the routine wasn't great and her hair was a mess but she looked stunning in the outfit! I remember thinking the same thing at Junior Worlds where she wore a similar black unitard-like outfit for the exhibition, I think in the tight black, you can really see the potentially nice lines she can have. For now, she needs to work on straightening her legs and flailing her arms less, and her overall appearance is still a bit gangly though much more sophisticated than last season, but idk, if she can work on polish, posture, and straightening those limbs of hers, I think she could really be something. She already has the jumps and fiery spirit, and her long limbs could really work to her advantage if she can gain full control of them, which I think she could in a couple years time. Seeing Pogorilaya doing so well makes me miss Shelepen and wonder what might have been if she had stayed with Tutberize. Shelepen and Pogorilaya are similar in many ways, I would say Pogorilaya has stronger basics, speed, and consistency, but they have similar strengths and weaknesses along with similar builds and Shelepen was progressing nicely until the nightmare coaching change/injury/Israel fiasco..

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Creating Applications with Mozilla is a frilled lizard. Native to Australia, the frilled lizard is known for the colorful neck frill that it uses to frighten predators. The frill normally lies in folds around the lizard's shoulders, creating a camouflage. When the lizard is frightened, it activates the frill by opening its mouth wide. This raises the frill, displaying its bright red and orange underside. Frilled lizards eat insects such as cicadas, ants, and spiders. Their population has been greatly diminished by land clearing and being preyed on by cats. Mary Brady was the production editor and proofreader, and Ann Schirmer was the copyeditor for Creating Applications with Mozilla. Mary Anne Weeks Mayo and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Johnna Van Hoose Dinse wrote the index. Brian Sawyer and Derek Di Matteo provided production support.Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is Lucas-Font's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing.

Too many mistakes,I have the impression this book was printed prematurely. It took me over 4 hours to get the example of chapter 2 to run.Do not buy this version wait until a corrected version comes out. If you apply all the errata from http://books.mozdev.org then you have to change almost every page. Actually I would like to get my money back, but...

In the year since this book was published, new Mozilla releases have continued to improve and evolve. The book's contents were written with Mozilla 1.0.x in mind, so it is important to be aware of this when trying to use more recent versions such as Mozilla 1.4 or one of the Phoenix/Firebird releases. In fact, Firebird didn't exist at all when the book came out so there's no information at all about the next generation XUL toolkit it uses.To help deal with the ever changing new Mozilla releases, the book's authors have tried to write new articles and to keep the online version of the book more current. If you are having problems using the book with a recent Mozilla release or with one of the Phoenix/Firebird releases, I'd recommend taking a look at some of the following links:The Future of Mozilla Application DevelopmentCorrections for the online version of the book">Reviewers mailing list where the authors and other community members will be available to help you with your questionsI'm obviously a little biased, but I think the book does a very good job of providing a useful snapshot of what's involved with creating applications with Mozilla at the time it was released. A little frustration is inevitable when new releases don't work as advertised in the book, but in conjunction with online resources the book is still a good guide for how to use Mozilla to create your own application.

This book does not even begin to work as a tutorial. Chapter 2, "Getting Started" is poorly organized, with continuous forward references "we show you this here, but we explain it in 3/5/10 pages or in chapter X". Getting Started should be giving an overview from the top down, which doesn't require forward reference, whereas this basically starts describing detail after detail, incompletely, and as mentioned, with forward references that only obfuscate the topic.At the end of Chapter 2 it's noted that you should grasp this material before moving on, but quite honestly, I can't see how that's possible. I can't even get the examples to work with Mozilla 1.2.1 or Phoenix 0.5, and I know this stuff works generally because I've installed extensions from mozilla.org into both browsers. When I finally set up my installed-chrome.txt file (which BTW didn't exist until I created it), the path is somehow wrong somewhere so my browsers can't find the xfly application, but there is nothing like sufficient information in Chapter 2 to help me figure out what's wrong with the path--I've set the directory structure exactly as described and all the dirs are 755 and files 644 permissions.I have to say this is the most disappointing O'Reilly book I have ever purchased.

I read the article after reading a few book chapters and I have to agree with the criticisms about the support files and downloads. But thats easily rectifiable by someone at OReilly I would have thought... I also agreew ith the comment about deep directory structures. This is something I had a lot of probs with early in in moz hacking. So much so that it took me four attempts before I stored up enough patience to persist with it. The author does go on though to praise Mozilla and the platform though, so I reckon its a balanced article.MC-webmaster of Extra reviews

The book is fascinating and covers a lot of territory. What decreases the book's usefulness is that only the examples in Chapter 2 work. The rest of the examples all have errors that prevent rendering.The code in the zip files likewise has errors.

It seems pretty clear the dog shouldn't have been marching in the parade, but the facts of the incident are still very unclear. How much does it really take to kill a 3.5 pound geriatric toy poodle? A minor grab and shake without breaking the skin could easily be fatal. Was it dog aggression, or was it simply instinctive prey drive because a little critter ran past? Was the poodle in the crowd or was it on an extended flexi like every single dog I ever see this size, and running around in the street?

So far, I have only heard dog aggression with this particular dog. I don't think dogs should be put down for dog aggression, even if they kill a tiny dog, and especially when they are thrust into a chaotic situation, with a volunteer holding the leash.
Some volunteers may be awesome dog-people, but they do not live with the dog. There is no way for them to know the dog so well that they should be turned loose in a parade with the dog. I am actually sick about this dog, and what people did to it.

|I agree that "resources may be scarce" and I wonder if I can consider IQ a 'resource' lol. Like when parents adopt a dog know to be aggressive with children. I mean, what in the heck are they thinking? It's beyond me, that's for sure. Not every dog can be saved, if every dog has to be placed in the identical home environment. But they can be tailored to fit, if the adopter is honest about what they're willing to do for the dog. And that doesn't include wishful thinking, lol.

It's not fair to the dogs to say that they should be PTS because they end up in the wrong hands. It's also not fair to the general public to take on a problem dog and then treat it like the best-behaved, most docile dog going. Why are people so stupid?!?

First off, was this really a GSD? It is amazing how often dogs in rescues are misidentified. I tend to believe GSDs are better served in rescues that are devoted to gsds nonetheless.
This is a tragic event that was 100% avoidable. Not all dogs can nor should be saved-now that is the responsible (but tough) position! The more we drift from our agricultural roots, the murkier pragmatism becomes.
I wonder too how much in front of its handler-volunteer the GSD was when it attacked.
Stuff does happen fast. My trainers usually have very large dogs, 130 - 160 pounds, but recently they acquired a small dog. In their classes there are a couple of Lakeland Terriers, that have been a total nuisance. Well, the trainer took his small dog past the dog and I saw it happening and couldn't spout out a warning quick enough, the darn thing jumped in and bit his dog on the back.
I am talking about people (the owners of the small dog) that are very dog savy, constantly showing their dogs, training, judging, etc. If their dog was 3.5 pounds it might have been dead too. If the Lakeland terrier was a GSD it may have been dead.
We cannot excuse the owners of dogs that are unsafe. The owners of these terriers have prongs and e-collars on them, they are the only dogs in classes that have ever bitten one of my dogs, so they know about the issues. The dogs need to be muzzled when in public.
The thing is, if we let those responsible for the GSDs here, off the hook, then we can see stupid legislation that HAS passed in some places where dogs (like pit bulls) must be muzzled in public. Doesn't matter if the dog has a history or not. If it is a certain breed, it must be muzzled.
Taking a dog where they KNEW there would be lots of people and dogs and crazyness, and not managing to manage the dog that they KNEW had issues is simply disgusting. And blaming the small dog owners for the attack is just like people with dogs that bite children blaming the children. If we do not want to have dogs banned from every last thing, or be forced to employ muzzles on every dog over 40 pounds, then we need to get on people that make the news from being irresponsible with the dogs in their charge and stop making up excuses for them.
|My GSDs represent my husband's elementary school in parades every summer. There are typically 1-2 other dogs besides mine that are in our group. I am ALWAYS wary of the dogs on the sidelines. Most if not all of them shouldn't really be there; they all bark and react or try to jump out into the street. Now I wouldn't bring a dog to be in a parade if he reacted back, even if it was the other dog starting it. I have control over my dogs and they ignore this sort of thing. I am just careful to keep them towards the center of the road if I see a yapping dog zipping around on a flexi lead. We've never had an incident, my dogs are always invited back.
|I dont own a dog as fragile as a toy poodle. But as a first time dog owner im smart enough to not let my dog approach strange dogs. And apache is nice, im only looking out for her when she meets a dog.
|A girl and her dog
I still think the poodle owner should have been more diligent. People don't pay attention, something goes wrong, they look for someone to blame.
No, the GSD should not have been in that parade! Much less so close to the sidelines.
FWIW, if I pick up my little dog or move out of the way of a big dog, it's to keep him from trying to get bossy. He easily sends the wrong signals and could end up in a fight. There is one dog on our street that is terrible. The owners do not control it other than having it I. A leash. The dog barks at people and other dogs and drags the owners around. I usually stop and have my guys sit whole they struggle past us.
Look at it like this, those with lite dogs that grab them up with a huff and run off are probably the same ones whose dogs feet rarely touch the ground, get spoken to like a disabled infant most of their lives and give 'mommy' something to obsess over. An accessory - emotional baggage. Screw em.
I feel bad for Toby and his family. They're just the average pet owner and probably don't think past their own dog. Probably never had a reason to.

Snowboard Tricks
We guess that everyone has their own learning speed and for most to get to that professional level takes as they say something like 10,000 hours so most still have a long way to go! sorry for the plug but we have some great tutorial vids that might help take you to that next step of impressing your friends in the park: How to 360, 540 and 720 Frontside or Backside (goofy riders) from Snowboard Addiction. - YouTube

Ok. So the reason, you got so much hate in the first few pages of this thread is because the more experienced riders know what it looks like when someone doesn't really quite know what they are doing, but is just hucking the ever-loving crap out of themselves on jumps. This is one of the most cringe-inducing things you can see in the park because it is usually some young kid that has no business trying to do the tricks he is attempting and he looks like a complete moron doing them. The funny thing is this kid usually is the joke of the entire mountain because he thinks he's all bad for almost landing backflips and 3's, but since everything is ugly looking everyone just laughs about him behind his back. Now I'm not saying this is you, but all of those bad reactions you got on the first page was probably because it really made people seriously believe you were one of those kids.
The funny thing is that I know exactly how you feel, though, because my close friend and I were those exact kids in the park several years ago. Let me be the first to tell you that you're doing it wrong. I didn't realize it until I broke my left arm and my best friend got a concussion the same day on the same jump. We kinda sorta had 180's down, but we had no clue what we were doing. We were hucking the crap out of some 3's but didn't really know what we were doing. It just made sense to use because we had tons of skating experience. Eventually if you ride out of control, something will go wrong and you will wreck yourself pretty quickly. That same friend of mine didn't really know how to do 3's flawlessly, but was throwing down backflips like it was his job because he thought it made him look cool and made him look like he was a really good rider. He eventually tore his shoulder and it put a very quick end to his progress as a snowboarder. Think about it this way, if you're out of control and break an arm/tear something, you will immediately stop your learning progress for that season and will have to start all-over next season. What we eventually learned, instead, is that it is WAAAY better and faster to learn tricks if you just take it slower and build up to more difficult tricks one step at a time. Instead of taking 2 seasons to learn 3's, because you wrecked yourself, you can do it in 1 season because you were smart about it.
So, now that we got that out of the way, here are the real tips to learn to do 3's. You need to have very good solid edge control and you have to understand how to approach the jump with a good "set-up carve". Depending on if you are spinning back-side, front-side, or front-side off your toes, the approach will be different for all three ways to spin. Luckily, you can learn to master this approach by just doing 180's. If you keep working on this same "Set-up carve" approach over and over until you can bust 180's with basically any and every grab you can think of, then 3's will literally just fall in to your lap. But I REPEAT, do NOT work on 3's until you've master the approach and set-up carve by mastering 180's. Plus, the more solid you can land 180's, the easier your 5's will eventually become. There are a ton of good videos on how to do this set-up carve, but I would check out snowboard addiction because the way they present stuff is flawless. Do everything in their videos and do NOT progress to 3's until you've mastered straight airs and 180's. I know this sounds "beneath you" because I thought it was beneath me too when I first started, but I swear to you this is the fastest and best way for you to learn how to kill it in the park. In all reality, no real snowboarder will give you props for throwing down sloppy back flips and sloppy 3's if you have no clue what you're doing, but you will get WAAY more respect for dropping steezy 180's than sloppy 3's. Then once your 1's are on point, you will start to throw smooth steezy 3's and you'll be golden.
And for christsakes, stop doing backflips for a few seasons until you at least get 3's and 5's down. You're not impressing anyone.

|Watch the snowboarding addiction videos on advanced spins. That is probably the best approach, AND you will see after watching why mastering your carving is essential before you can do this.

Now, for some actual tips.
When you are doing your attempted 3`s are you doing the frontside? The reason I ask is because one of the biggest issues (and I still have trouble with front 3`s) is the rider opens up too soon; usually on the first 90 degrees when facing down the hill. This will drastically slow your rotation. My issue has always been a fear of committing to it; this could be doe to conditions, not feeling it, whatever but any hesitation will kill your rotation.
One thing I have done that seemed to help me and has helped people I coach, is to actually carve the first 90 of your 3 (not in the park, I use natural features so I don`t fuck up the takeoff ramps in the park doing this). This allows you to really concentrate on that final 270 and the landing. Once I have gained the confidence of landing successfully, I don`t seem to have near as much of a hesitation issue.
Now, while I am disappointed in their delivery, the other poster`s did bring up valid points. It is hard for most of us who struggled for a long time to master good riding skills like carving, dynamic skidded, fore-aft movements, up and down unweighting, anticipatory rotation, etc to believe that a new rider with 6 days has done enough prep work in their foundational riding skills to focus on freestyle. I totally get the skiing background and wakeboarding, but just make sure you do not neglect these foundational riding skills.
I see you are in the PDX area; Which blacks are you riding at what resort; Meadows? Timberline? Just make sure you are not skipping important riding skills in your haste to master park. And if you say you don't like pow? I need to get you into Private Reserve at Meadows on a stupid deep powder day and we`ll fix that little issue.......
So, back to park.... Here`s a few more things for you to think about:
This is the key for good park riding; it stands for approach, takeoff, maneuver and landing.
Your approach needs to be stable; no last minute speed corrections or trajectory changes. You should feel as if you are dialed in and patiently waiting for the takeoff.
The takeoff is key for the outcome of the trick (maneuver). You need a stable, balanced and controlled takeoff. Hucking your meat usually looks like shit and will eventually get you hurt. Far better to do smaller things well that look good than go huge and look like a whirling dervish in the air.
The Maneuver is what you do in the air (or on the box/rail) if the approach and takeoff is solid, you have a much better chance of successfully performing the maneuver. Again, progress and master simple maneuvers before jumping to more complex ones.
The landing is really the proof of the pudding. If you fuck up somewhere in the earlier stages, it is likely going to show up here. You want to be stabilized and ready to land before it happens. Get the balance, trajectory and angles dialed in be ready to reconnect with the snow. Avoid the temptation to immediately brake; allow your board to settle in and engage the edge before applying any corrections to speed and direction.
Keep your progress slow and steady and always remember as you progress, that when you want simple terrain for complex tasks. As you master say large straight airs on large features and want to start spinning, don`t do them on the large features. Go back to the small features and work your way back up. Too often I see a park rider who is nailing it on a large feature try a new maneuver but they don`t step it back and really jack themselves up trying to dial in a new trick on too big of a feature.
I give you this caution because from reading the exchange going on here you seem to me to be the time that may let ego get the better of you and not be too willing to step down to easier features to try new shit. Just remember to always ask yourself if that 3 to 5 seconds is worth jeopardizing your riding season. If you're not sure of the outcome, step it back a notch. Hope to see you at Meadows some time....
I ride at Timberline, fusion pass whoo, but my first day was on the Palmer Snowfield haha. It was in October and it was icey! So I guess that forced me to learn quickly. Also, I watch tons of youtube videos on the tricks and skills before I go up. It helps! The reason why I am doing these larger park features is because of who I am riding with. :/ They are advanced riders and they pretty much brought me to larger features and black diamond runs and said this is what we are doing, so you are as well. So I basically said what the hell, Ill learn this stuff.
I set goals before each day and I am determined to be able to do everything they can do in less time it took them to learn. haha
The blacks I have ridden was the Snowfield, and those blacks off of pucci. Elmers and Wingles I believe.
Back to park.
I learned how to backflip on the trampoline with my board on my feet, so it was pretty easy to get the rotation out on the slopes, so thats why I can attempt those already. I wouldn't think of this trick being more difficult than any others, so why not try it?
I believe my 360 issue may lie in trying to rotate too early. Like just before leaving the lip. It sort of stalls me out. Im trying to stop that habit, is there any techniques for that?
And I have fallen pretty hard a few times on the bigger features haha. My friends thought I broke bones a couple times. But I haven't even gotten a bruise. Weird. I am pretty heavy for my height, not fat, but muscle. So I don't know if that helps me take impacts better. 180 pounds at 5'5" around 8% BF.
Thanks again for the tips

Talent Acquisition Heads Back to School!
Sep 13, 2012
Labor Day has come and gone, and many of you have been snapping those memorable "first day of school" photos of your kids heading off to the first day of class. But you're not the only ones going back to campus! This fall, the College Recruiting team will be promoting AOL as a great place to work by sharing stories about internships, innovation, and culture, while engaging with the top talent at career fairs, information sessions, club meetings and on-site visits.
Last year's popular campus visits brought AOL a large pool of very successful interns, entry-level hires, and recent MBA graduates who were ready to put their freshly-sharpened skills to work. This year, our team is trying to outdo ourselves by engaging even more impressive students from around the country.
Three teams of enthusiastic AOL employees have already met over 300 students at local New York Campus Fairs:
- NYU Alumni, Mallika Bolla and Zach Kazin (both with AOL On) joined Sales Trainer Taryn Rosada and myself to meet scores of engineers, journalists and marketing hopefuls at New York University's annual career fair last Thursday.
- Ellie Krupnick (HuffPost Style) and Gabby Ferrara (Advertising.com), alumni of both Barnard University and AOL's Internship program, engaged students from their alma mater last Friday, resulting in an increase of qualified applicants for open internship opportunities.
- The Huffington Post Design Team, including Ken Jansson, Peter Chao and Amanda Chan, were impressed by the creative talent they discovered at Parsons' annual Internship and Career fair held last week.
Next up? We're off to campuses nationwide to fill internship and full-time roles. Look out for us at career fairs, club meetings and networking sessions at Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, Virginia Tech, University of Maryland and many more!
To learn more about interships, follow @AOLInterns on Twitter. For other job opportunities at AOL, visit our Careers page.

It's that time again! Time to travel from our computer chairs to an amazing location vie the internet. Honestly, these images were just too amazing not to share with you! What you will see is a photoset of the Magdeburg Water Bridge.
All you have to do to navigate is scroll down the page! It doesn't get much easier than that. I really love that it is a large photoset and they have images from all sorts of different angles, because you can really experience the scope of it that way.
My favorite image is the one of the boat traveling the water bridge with the people on either side. I think that is photo number nine in the set. I just like the juxtaposition of the people versus the boat in the water bridge. It would be fascinating to be crossing and have a boat pass you by that closely.
I didn't even know water bridges like this existed before I saw that photoset. I love that there is always something new to marvel about! Check it out today!

I like Miltank a lot better, and miltank probably is better.
Have you ever face Whitney's Miltank before?

I personally prefer Miltank. It really helped me out in my first game(Emerald) and never fainted. Softboiled is cool and everything but Miltank's got Milk Drink, that's something lol. Miltank is also able to fire off a nice offensive. And, once again, Whitney's Miltank was awesome.
Miltank is also one of the most adorable things ever imo
Last edited by Elnava; 30th March 2013 at 7:08 PM.
Really don't like either but if I was forced to use one I'd probably go with Miltank. Whitney's proved to be quite a handful, especially with that Attract/Rollout/Milk Drink combo.
Credits to Sworn Metalhead for the awesome banner!
Haven't used either of them that much, but I like Chansey better. I have never been a huge fan of Miltank.
~~ ~~

Miltank is kinda boring for design, except its shiny form. Chansey + eviolite is uuhmazing... not only it can take more hits, it can also recover its teammates.
PLUS it gives you lucky egg.
Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
Like a Ferris wheel that's breaking down
Scream, screaming, screaming bloody murder,
...wow yeah
Miltank is a fun Pokémon, in my opinion. It has a good history with the GSC players, like me, who felt like they went throuh hell when fighting Whitney's.
I personally like both Chansey and Miltank, but Chansey is the better pick. Higher hp, more healing moves, etc
Chansey. It is a lot more fun to use with healing capabilities, etc.
Miltank. It has more Def than Chansey and its attack isn't bad either.
Shiny Count: 50
Thanks Eeveelover824 for the animated banner!
I prefer Miltank because she has more offensive power.
I liked Miltank a bit more since it seemed pretty resilient when I used it in Emerald version, plus it's easier to catch than Chansey. Ironically, both are Safari Zone Pokemon.
Chansey. Better design.

Miltank. I used a Miltank on a HeartGold run, and it was amazing. Before that, I didn't care for either of them. For me, Miltank I prefer more.
If you ask me, I'd probably say Chansey. At least she evolves and is better too overall IMO. That's pretty tough to decide really.
-Nate the
Miltank. Chansey (and Blissey) make ingame battles just feel like forever due to their lack of offense.
I like Chansey better, It's got a boatload of HP and I kinda like its design better than Miltank's. Also, am I the only pokemon player in the world who beats Whitney's Miltank easily everytime I face it?
I really need something to put here.

Simple Plot3D/Function Syntax issue
When I enter
f = e^-(x^2 + y^2) (x^2 + 2y^2)
It gives me a syntax::noinfo error but the output looks like the
correct textbook style function.
Also, when I try to plot it
Plot3D[e^-(x^2 + y^2) (x^2 + 2y^2), {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]
It of course gives me not machines-size real number errors, which I am
assuming have more to do with my original syntax error. I've tried
several variations but can't figure out what needs to be corrected.

Miami • The reaction of many when Ray Allen signed with the Heat was shared by Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin.
"Wow," he said Friday. "Wow."
Allen, 37, signed a three-year contract with the Heat in the offseason after Miami dispatched Allen's Boston Celtics in seven games in the Eastern Conference finals, giving the already potent champs a reliable 3-point threat.
"It was a need, man," Jazz guard Randy Foye said. "He came to where he feel as though he was wanted."
Allen, the all-time leader in 3-pointers, averages 11.8 points per game and shoots 46.1 percent from the perimeter. He ranks fourth in the NBA in the category, one spot behind teammate Rashard Lewis, another veteran who signed with the Heat in the offseason and shoots 47.4 percent on 3-pointers.
On Wednesday, Corbin marveled at "how much more space the other guys will have because if Ray Allen is sitting anywhere on the perimeter, you have to have a guy close to him, because he can make you pay."
Allen's move was heartbreaking for Boston, which saw one of the leaders of its own, but aging, Big Three turn down more money to join LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on South Beach.
"It's interesting how good teams get better because good guys want to play with those teams," Corbin said.
Howard out
Former Jazz forward Josh Howard's career took another hit Thursday when he was waived by Minnesota a month after joining the Timberwolves.
The 10-year veteran last played on Dec. 14 after suffering a knee injury.
However, further examination revealed he had torn his ACL.
The Timberwolves reportedly will move quickly to replace Howard and his defensive acumen; however, coach Rick Adelman thinks that's easier said than done.
"We need someone like Josh," he told the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. "That's really what we need."
In 11 games, Howard averaged 6.7 points. He averaged 8.7 with the Jazz in the lockout-shortened season, but Utah opted not to re-sign him.
Chasing Karl
Miami's James has scored 20 or more points in every game this season. His 23-game streak is the longest since Karl Malone scored 20-plus in 24 games to start the 1989-90 season.
In an interesting twist, James will have the chance to tie Malone's streak against The Mailman's former team.

Hi guys,
The RPF has benefited from many of the things we have done at TDH and we are now bringing some of our policies from the RPF here as well. Updating thread titles will be one of them.
Copied from announcement at the RPF:
There are many times a member creates a thread title that is very vague and those threads tend to get overlooked or don't get the attention they would get if the title were more clear. Yes, some of you look at every thread regardless of the title, but many scan through, and pick and choose based on the thread titles that appeal to their interests (or when the # of views or replies skyrocket). With this in mind we are going to begin a project of updating vague or obscure thread titles to better represent the threads content. In modifying the thread title we hope to draw more attention and more interaction to threads that might otherwise be missed.
Two recent examples:
Original thread title:
Updated thread title:
Star Trek Mugs
Original Thread title:
Marcus display bust
Updated thread title:
Underworld Evolution Marcus display bust
Because of the sheer number of threads that may be updated, we will NOT be emailing each OP when we update the thread title and are instead giving notice here.
We will make every effort to be unobtrusive as possible and to maintain the original meaning and intent of the thread title. Usually our updates will include a full name as opposed to a partial name or a title of the film to go along with an obscure name or prop.
If we update the title to your thread and you feel it significantly changes the meaning of the title, please do not change it back, but instead, contact a staff member to discuss your concerns.
*Due to the highly mobile nature of the [Cargo Hold] and because it directly involved sales, we will NOT update thread titles in the [Cargo Hold].

Raynaud's Phenomenon and Scleroderma
My mother has a condition in which her fingers turn completely
white--especially during the winter--and when the blood returns to her fingers, they tingle. A rheumatologist told her today that she possibly has scleroderma. What is the prognosis and treatment for this disease?
Medical Author: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Medical Editor: Jay W. Marks, MD
The condition you are describing in your mother's fingers is compatible with Raynaud's phenomenon. Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition resulting in discoloration of the fingers and/or the toes after exposure to changes in temperature (cold or hot) or emotional events. Skin discoloration occurs because an abnormal spasm of the blood vessels causes a diminished blood supply to the local tissues.
Raynaud's phenomenon is particularly common in patients with scleroderma, although it may occur with other diseases or by itself. Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of connective tissue. Autoimmune diseases are diseases which occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Scleroderma is characterized by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the skin and organs of the body. This leads to thickness and firmness of involved areas, most frequently in the fingers. The cause of scleroderma is not known.

In episode 63 of MicrobeWorld Video, Dr. Stan Maloy talks with Forest Rohwer Ph.D., Professor of Biology, San Diego State University, about his research on the microbes of the ocean, coral reefs and the human lung. This episode was filmed at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Meeting in Vancouver, Canada on February 18th, 2012.
Viruses make up a large portion of the world's oceans, with over ten million per milliliter of seawater. Rohwer's interest in better understanding these viruses led him to becoming an expert in marine virology and a founder of the field of viral metagenomics.
Forest discovered that these viruses are very good at controlling the number and type of bacteria in the ocean and through the process of gene transfer possess the potential to change marine bacteria into human pathogens.
Among Forest's other interests are coral reefs. He has studied the link between humans inhabiting the land around coral reefs and the decaying health of the corresponding coral.
Forest also studies cystic fibrosis, a disease of the human lung, which mimics what he sees going on with the health of coral reefs. Rohwer explains how his work across many different scientific disciplines has helped his research interests broaden while leading to new discoveries unlikely to have been made without the knowledge and tools of other scientific fields.
