There are few Canadian journalists as resolutely stupid about climate change as CBC editorialist and Globe and Mail columnist Rex Murphy. Rising above science, soaring over the petty limitations of facts and logic, Rex regularly delivers us from the threat of global warming - if only in figurative flourish.
His most recent outing is a spectacular example. In it, he announces that because it has snowed in Vancouver, we no longer need to take seriously the scientific warnings about future climate change.
Interestingly, he avows early on in this column that he will not draw such a conclusion, allowing the wisdom in the old phrase that "one swallow does not make a spring."
He says: "I am, most certainly, not going to make the error of our global warming hierophants who leap with troubling eagerness on any 'extreme weather event' and pilot it with ferocity to the conclusion that we are all doomed."
Then he offers his evidence - a cold snap stretching from Victoria to Saskatoon - to suggest that we are clearly NOT doomed. Indeed, he assures us that we may use this wintry wobble to dismiss out of hand several recently reported studies of unchallenged scientific merit. Seeing snow in the trees in Stanley Park in 2009, we can rest assured that there will no be no droughts, no disruptions, no food shortages in 2080.
People who would take a contrary position are, Rex says, "rhetoricians of less scruple than I" - a condition (and herein lies the reference to Murphy's superlative standing), that I hardly think possible.

I love Rex
The man's an artist. To be honest I'm pretty sure whatever he says about climate will be totally convincing to me. But I'll go read it and try to be objective anyway.
Jim Eager replied on Permalink
When it comes to climate change,
Rex is an imbecile.
Not that he isn't on other topics as well….
The denialists run to Pravda
This may not have reached you yet, but Rex Murphy now finds Pravda backing him up:
And the American right-wing denialists are rejoicing mightily:
As a longtime flu blogger (http://crofsblogs.typepad.com/h5n1/ ), I've found Pravda to be a totally unreliable source for science stories. But the American right wing is eager to embrace the Russian equivalent of the National Enquirer. The Canadian right wing will not be far behind:
Cheers and keep up the fight,
John Lefebvre replied on Permalink
doesn't the Globe and Mail realize what this does to their rep? completely irresponsible
David Lewis replied on Permalink
only Rex could come up with some of this stuff
I don't keep up with denier ramblings, but what Rex writes makes me wonder. Is anyone else claiming that "so much of what the alarmists promised was supposed to be happening now isn't happening" therefore the global warming alarmists are reduced to pretending they are even more alarmed?
Your use of the word "spectacular" is appropriate. This guy is right out of Alice in Wonderland. The CEO of ExxonMobil is calling for a carbon tax as of Dec 11 2008. Darth Vader himself, Greenpeace's Climate Criminal #1, has thrown in the towel, and Rex is still out there, holding the fort. He's going to be like one of those Japanese WWII soldiers who came out of the bush on the Pacific Islands, decades after the war was over, who were still fighting it in their own way all those years.
The last time I read a column of Rex's he was arguing that James Hansen wasn't a scientist. Rex does not fool around. In that one he claimed there were loads of real scientists, he was careful to not name one, who knew he was right. I phoned in to his CBC show, Cross Country Checkup, and called him a denier to his face. He sounded a bit upset. He said he prefers to call himself a "skeptic".
So Rex argues that Hansen isn't a scientist. The President of the National Academy of Sciences takes a bit of a different position, i.e. he says its a bit difficult to single out one scientist, but if he had to, he'd say Hansen was the best climatologist there is. Hansen draws a slightly different conclusion than Rex does, from his recent planetary observations. These are no doubt the same observations Rex monitors every day. Hansen, in his open letter to President-elect Obama: "scientists at the forefront of climate research have seen a stream of new data in the past few years with startling implications for humanity and all life on Earth". He goes on to recommend a foundation for policy to Obama: "a stark scientific conclusion, that we must reduce greenhouse gases below present levels to preserve nature and humanity has become clear to the relevant experts". Rex might not understand this: for your benefit Rex, Hansen is saying in this letter that will be hand delivered by John Holdren, Obama's pick for his Science Adviser, that he has the backing of the NAS, an institution set up by President Lincoln to advise the President on scientific matters, to say the relevant experts in the field of climatology are agreed that a new international target, of 325 - 350 ppm CO2, is what the atmosphere must be stabilized at as soon as possible in order to retain some chance of leaving our descendants a planet similar to the one we were born on. If all these people aren't scientists, Rex, you aren't a human being.

"The CEO of ExxonMobil is
"The CEO of ExxonMobil is calling for a carbon tax as of Dec 11 2008"
That's called tactics. Don't mistake it for something it isn't.
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
Are you suggesting that the CEO of Exxon may be disingenuous in what he says about climate change? Say it isn't so!
Say what you will, but Rex is
Say what you will, but Rex is an honest skeptic. He has one of the sharpest minds in Canada on nearly any subject he discusses. Why? Because he asks questions and doesn't take bafflegab for an answer.
Since much of what passes for "climate science" seems to be ideologically predetermined and not open to discussion on any level, I would say his skepticism (please don't use the phony "denier" label) is warranted.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
You do like to joke
Bafflegab is Murphy's stock in trade. He uses it so people like you who don't understand the reality of what he is discussing will agree and feel good about it becauses he uses words which you think you understand and the undereducated masses will not understand. This is is what bafflegab is all about and you fall for it every time. Shame on you, read up on the real facts as described in the scientific literature not what deniers like Murphy say.
Murphy is a denier because he recites all the denier talking points and does not check any of his facts. Maybe "paul s" is Murphy in disguise?
My vocabulary is a fraction
My vocabulary is a fraction of what Murphy's is yet he is able to convey this thoughts clearly and effectively. He remains skeptical towards GW because so much bafflegab emanates from the global warming establishment.
And enough of your shame-based tactics Ian. I have read far too much of the peer-reviewed science on global warming. And I remain skeptical.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
You really do not have a clue
Paul, stop conflating your political views with the findings of scientists. Science is non-political. it is only when deniers like you and Murphy get involved that it becomes politiciized. Please stop using the term "skeptic," its modern meaning is completely wrong when used to describe "deniers".
Paul stated his opinion fairly, honestly and respectfully in an open forum. And yet you jumped on him like a sheep at the slaughter. He is a skeptic of the AGW theory. He does not deny. He stated this and yet you accused him of being something he wasn't. I would also like to proclaim myself a skeptic. And, as Thomas Huxley said: "Skepticism is the highest of duties, and unverified belief, the one unpardonable sin." I, like Paul and many others have read numerous publications on both sides of this debate … and yes Ian, it still is a debate, regardless of what Al Gore may have said about "science being closed." Science is NEVER closed and shame on this community for stifling any opposition to their views. Opposing views should be vigorously welcomed and encouraged in a just and democratic society. I have only been on this site for a few days, but what I've found thus far is a remarkably one-sided and obtuse community of self-righteous bullies, intent on stomping out and belittling anyone with an opinion contrary to their own, even when supported in a factual presentation. They are dismissed out of hand as either incompetent, funded by big oil, Republican, not "real" scientists or simply name-called, as in the case of Dr. Tim Ball, the perennial punching bag, it would seem, of this site. I'm left in the end with the very distubing sense that, not only do many of you "believe" in AGW, but that you would also gleefully welcome it, only to turn around, point your fingers at the "deniers" and say, "See? See?? We told you so!!" I'm sorry, but if I was on that camp, I would very desperately want to be proven wrong. But then, that's just me and I'm sure now I have set myself up as someone with his head deeply buried in the sand.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
You are as much of a denier as Paul is
You obviously know very little about the science behind climatology. You also appear to know nothing (though I doubt this) of the history of the lies, obfuscation and misinformation put out by the deniers and their supporters like Paul.
Come back once you have read something more than what Tim Ball has to say before you accuse me of anything.
If you have any "opposition to the views" of respected climate scientists then put it on the table or keep quiet since you are only adding to the lies and obfuscation by your factually wrong comments. That is how real science is done. Discussion of honestly produced data, not the slime comments of deniers.
This site, and its honest contributors, has never belittled anyone who is intent on discussing climate science in a rational and honest manner. It is those who show dishonesty time after time that get our attention.
No, your head is not buried in the sand it is somewhere else.
Thank you Ian.
Yes, you're right, I would not consider myself an expert in the field of climatology. I would however consider myself knowledgeable, having taken two climate courses enroute to a college diploma in Environmental Science. But we are not here to debate credentials. We are here to debate science, and the science of anthropogenic global warming has been challenged at every turn. And at almost every one of those turns, the AGW community comes up with an explanation or alternate scenario to explain the discrepancies. That, or they simply thumb their noses and mock the "deniers." The hockey stick has been debunked. Land based climate stations have been discredited as being influenced locally. Lower tropospheric temperatures have shown an amazing consistency over the past 30 years. The global climate has been cooling since 2001. Computer models are just that … models, not one of which, prior to 2001 predicted such a cooling and none of which can accurately input cloud and water information. Polar bears are thriving. Glaciers calve … its what they do. Are we in a warming period? … well, yes now that you mention it, for the past 10,000 years. Most people would actually agree that this is a good thing.
I'm not going to belabour the issue, since we have both apparently read similar if not the same material, yet somehow arrived at different conclusions. Such is the nature of the human race. But let me introduce you to some of my conspiratorial colleagues. Would you care to address this list of "slime" personally?
At the top of this list would be the late Frederick Seitz, followed by 30,000 professionals, including 9,031 PhDs. Professionals on the petition include over 3,500 in the Atmosphere or Earth Sciences field. And this is just the US list, so you don't have to see Tim Ball's name.
Settled science? I think even Judge Judy would toss this case out.
Good day.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
Good grief you are years behind the other deniers. You are producing denier rubbish that was shown to be lies, obfuscation and misinformation years ago.
Your reference to the Oregon petition shows exactly where you stand. You stand in isolation beside a handful of liars, cranks and oil funded parasites. Why are you wasting your time on that rubbish? Spend time reading the science, you will learn a lot more that way.
As expected
You did not disappoint.
Thumbing your nose and mocking. How very productive.
Good day.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
So the truth hurts?
Well get used to it since if you continue to willifully spread dishonest information you desrve all the derision that will be directed your way.
That is exactly what this blog was set up to do, expose dishonest deniers like you, which is explained in their mission statement: "to clear the PR pollution that is clouding the science on climate change".
Why do you post such PR pollution on this site knowing that you will be exposed for your nonsense? Don't come complaining about disrepectful treatment when it is you who is being direspectful to honest scientists.
Warren replied on Permalink
Good work Geoff
I appreciate your comments and the considerate attitude which you afford the inane and empty comments of the AGW crowd.
Max Pointy?
Yes he's sharp, and he can talk the hind leg off a dog, but all of the erudite vocabulary often masks the fact that he knows more about some things than others. If he can't accept that James Hansen is a highly qualified scientist and eminently "relevent," he needs to take a break and read up. Murphy may well be an honest sceptic, but his inflexibility and inablilty to distinguish between science and bafflegab suggests to me that he has crossed the line into the deniers' camp.
Rex Murphy on Climate change
It has never been clear to me why members of the general public (including Rex Murphy and politicians who are using their public positions to do so) are proferring their "opinions" on climatology. This is akin to people in the grocery store having similar discussions on computer modeling of phenol-ring based drugs for nuclear receptors in cancer treatment or modifications to the theory of relativity on the moon. Of course you would never see this in reality. Almost no one in the store knows ANYTHING about it and would normally be quite satisfied to allow scientists to gather their data and interpret it because that is what they have spent their entire careers doing. One of the arguments meant to diminish climate scientists is that they simply want funding for their work, however very few of the climatologists who study climate change depend on the research grants for their salaries so research on climate change is not critical to their income. Incidently, our society is very priveledged to have individuals who want to do this as a career- it doesn't pay that great. Scientists study and try to understand the workings of nature. This is a complex task. Because of this it is an uncomfortable fact (for some) that scientists are really the only people who can in fact review and comment on the science of other scientists. If you're not in the field then you don't have the background to have an intelligent discussion- that includes Rex Murphy and all those who attribute individual weather events to climate change. The reason for all the uninformed discussion (of course)is that measures to mitigate climate change will require a change in comfortable energy habits and in the long run the economy. No one really wants this because for some it will mean they won't make as much money and for others it will require what they consider too much effort. Think about it- the world's cancer experts agreed that cigarette smoking caused cancer- and yet look how many still smoke and it took legislation to get the tobacco companies to stop trying to confuse the public about the science (which incidently was much easier to understand than climate modeling). In the end, peer-reviewed science is rarely incorrect because 1) it is based primarily on physical measurements- these parameters don't lie and 2) scientists are among the most rigourous individuals on the planet. So to Rex and all of you amateur climate scientists- go back to university, get an undergraduate degree, do a Master's then PhD, then post-doctoral studies and then after you have done several years more of independent research…come to a consensus with your fellow scientists. The public should watch, listen and act accordingly.
an immediate...
QUOTE: "…that there will no be no droughts, no disruptions, no food shortages in 2080…" Hopefully, this will be the scenario if today we are to take good care of our mother-earth. But considering the recent events, pollutions everywhere, an immediate "repair" should be made.

Probably the most common reactor in the chemical industry is the packed bed reactor. This reactor is used in chemical synthesis and for effluent treatment and catalytic combustion. Oftentimes, heterogeneous catalysis requires packed beds. A common design is a cylindrical column filled with catalyst pellets. The pellets can be contained within supporting structures, like tubes or channels, or packed in a single compartment in the column. The latter is called dumped packing.Read More

This week I will talk about CAD import. Many times, the first task a new user of COMSOL is up to is to lay their hands on the CAD models of the design team.

There are different ways to marry the CAD models with the analysis. File based import is maybe the most common […]Read More

Brian BordainickCarver High School - 2009 Eddie Robinson Award Winner
The inaugural winner of the Eddie Robinson Award was Brian Bordainick, the tireless athletic director for Carver High School, who is being recognized for his contributions to Carver and our community.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, Bordainick was simply looking for a job that would make a difference. He joined "Teach For America," an organization that aims to end educational inequity by enlisting the country's most promising future leaders in the effort. Bordainick clearly fills that bill.
The 22-year old native New Yorker accepted a position to teach at Carver High School in New Orleans. Located in the dangerous and deprived Ninth Ward adjacent to the Desire Street Project, Carver High is a public school which was devastated during Hurricane Katrina, taking on 10 feet of water. The school re-opened two years later and Bordainick came on board as a geography teacher.
Within a short period of time, he was asked to coach girls' basketball, a sport he had never coached. Within another month, he was asked to take over as athletic director.
Seeking a way to provide hope in a difficult atmosphere for underprivileged youth with a narrow path to getting out of poverty and enjoying the American Dream, the young man from "Teach For America" taught many young people at Carver High School a valuable lesson - Yes, you can!
Among his many daunting tasks as athletic director, Bordainick was asked to resurrect the once proud Carver Ram football program that has produced the likes of Marshall Faulk. Thirty students emerged from seven classroom trailers and courageously took the field as a football team in an abandoned lot in the shadow of their devastated school. This inspired Bordainick to dream and to attempt to make a dream a reality. He started a process to build a "Field of Dreams" at Carver High School.
Bordainick discovered that he had to raise $1.85 million to build a state-of-the-art football field and track to be utilized by Carver as well as all public schools and community members free of charge. Through his "yes, you can" attitude and diligence, he has raised over $1 million toward the goal, obtaining major contributions from Nike, The New Orleans Saints and NFL, New Orleans City Council member Arnie Fielkow, the Kiwanis Club of Pontchartrain, the Recovery School District, E.C. Durr and the law firm of Eskew, Dumez, Ripple, Shrenk and Peterson. He has appeared on The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric and CNN. He has had features written on the project by newspapers and web sites throughout the country, including in New Orleans at www.neworleans.com and in the Times-Picayune newspaper.

NORTHFIELD, IL — Kraft Foodservice has launched Oreo Cakesters, a new snack cake that brings the brand recognition of America's leading sandwich cookie to vending's higher-price pastry spirals. A field test conducted in New England over the summer validated the view that a premium-quality branded snack cake offering high perceived value will generate rapid turns at a $1.25 vend price.
Formed by sandwiching a sweet vanilla creme layer between two two round, soft chocolate cakes, Cakesters visually resemble their celebrated cookie counterparts. They're made with premium ingredients and supplied in three-packs; shelf life is six months.
Supported by a large-scale television and print advertising campaign, Oreo Cakesters were launched in retail during the summer and began shipping to the vending trade in October.
Boston-area operators Laura and Jim Kelly of P&J's Vending (Hopkinton, MA) participated in a 10-week trial of Oreo Cakesters last summer to assist Kraft in ascertaining the snack cake's potential in vending at a $1.25 vend price.
"As soon as we saw Cakesters, right out of the box, everyone from our office to our warehouse to our drivers was excited about it," Kelly told VT. "Our whole team tried it – men and women across generations – and literally all ages and genders liked it. We knew, before it went out the door, its wide appeal in house, its great value with three snack cakes in the pack and the power of its very attractive, fluorescent blue package."
Adding to P&J's confidence in the product's appeal to its customers was the regional popularity of "whoopie pies," a traditional bakery item with a strong following in New England. Sometimes called a "black-and-white," it's common in supermarket bakeries throughout the Boston area, and often is served for dessert.
"We knew Oreo Cakesters had the profile that people in our market like, and we'd proven that by our in-house taste test," Kelly explained. "Adding to our hunch that we had a winner was the Oreo name.
"Branding is a very important factor in vending," she continued. "At the trade shows, we often see good products with a regional name, and we won't get them because the brand is not there. I don't think we would have sold Cakesters, especially at $1.25, in such huge volume if brand familiarity was not part of the package. When consumers see value backed by a strong brand, they are willing to pay the higher price – we've seen it with other products, and we certainly saw it with Oreo Cakesters."
Cakesters' popularity was immediately evident in the field from the rapid spiral turns logged by the Cantaloupe Seed remote monitoring system installed by P&J's last year (see VT, Sept. 2006). Notwithstanding the tight controls the company maintains over product movement from its warehouse to its trucks and machines with Seed, Kelly said her warehouse staff had to hide the Cakesters – drivers were so eager to get them into their machines that she felt the need to make sure that management knew where the product was at all times. "Sometimes it's hard to get our drivers excited about a product; it's quite a testimonial when our drivers say it's a winner and get so excited," said Kelly, adding that one driver said he was thankful that route orders were pre-packed, because he was afraid he'd otherwise yield to the temptation of eating the Cakesters on his truck before they reached their destinations.
"Once the product made it out the door, it was selling vigorously…flying! Kraft wanted 10 weeks of data for the test and, seven weeks in, we were getting low on stock; we were afraid we were in danger of not having enough products to get through the test," the operator recalled. "Every Monday for the final three weeks we checked to see how many were in the warehouse and the field. Luckily, we had just enough product to make it through the trial."
After the test concluded in August, Kelly said the drivers were disappointed to find the product was no longer present when they picked up their orders.
"My question to Kraft was 'When can I buy Cakesters?'" she recalled. "Needless to say, when it became available again it went back into our machines, and it's continuing its success."
Kraft Foodservice observed that Oreo is the nation's leading brand of sandwich cookie, and that the snack cake segment is one of the fastest-growing baked good categories in vending.

Post subject: Sjax39's thoughts & mini mock
2012 was a different season for the Rams. It felt different from the 7-9 season a few seasons ago. No, this season was clearly a step in the right direction. This season had it's ups and downs, but towards the end I saw tough, resilient team that never gave up no matter who they played. IMO, this team has several issues that the forum seems divided about and I will attempt to address each one before a small mock.
Sam "Chipmunk" Bradford
The biggest topic of the forum. Is Sammy B a franchise Qb or isnt he? Well, I still have faith in him. With rookie qbs coming in and having instant success I feel like expectations have been raised. Is that fair to Sam? Not really, but I can understand fellow fans frustration. I think its only fair to point however that not all quarterbacks progress the same. And is it really fair to judge a quarterback with a below average supporting cast who doesnt even have a full 3 years worth of games under his belt? I believe that this offseason we address some of the holes on the offensive side of the ball and we see more improvement from Sam.
I have mixed feelings about this one. At times, he seemed great. Other times...not so much. I frequently felt like every yard was a struggle. It's really annoying to see us struggle for most of the game only to adjust when its almost too late. I am however happy to see him stay with us for Sam's sake. Hopefully next year he will call more games like he did against San Fran.
Steven Jackson
I think it goes without saying that S-jax has lost a step. Theres no way we can pay him his current salary. However, I think he comes back with a paycut. I think he has another 1k season left in him. He's also still our best passblocking and receiving back. He knows he's not what he used to be and he wants to retire a ram. I expect richardson and pead to be more of a factor next year though.
Mini Mock
Im predicting we lose Fletch, Hayes, Stewart and Amendola. Tru replaces Fletch, someone wants Hayes to be a starter, Stewart couldnt even get in over he who shall not be named and Amendola is injury prone. Amendola leaving is gut feeling. Givens takes his spot and we use that money elsewhere (dont want it to happen though). Hunter and Mikell imo will be cut. I think Gibson and Turner will be resigned.
As for signings, I think we get Keller, Goldson, Barden, and Andre Smith. Keller and Barden should be cheap. Keller is coming off of an injury and will reunite with his old OC and get a real quarterback. Smith wont cost much and will help sure up the line. Goldson is just what this defense needs and we steal him from a rival. Barden is another cheap player with potential that we grab. Low risk, high reward,
Finally, I have us grabbing Allen and Warmack with our two first rounders. We get our WR and then we cant pass up a great guard at 22.

Thats super optimistic that Warmack will be there for #22, let alone be at #18. I'm not sold on Allen in the first either. I honestly cannot see him getting past 15 at this point. He is an elite prospect in a draft lacking elite talents.
Also, I think Jax is gone. The Rams essentially announced to the media that they and Jax had agreed to terminate contract at the end of the year and move on. I dont think they do that if they intend to try and restructure or resign him.

Eagles announce first dates for upcoming world tour
The Eagles have started unveiling dates for their upcoming road trip. The first eleven stops on the group's "History of the Eagles" tour are concentrated in the Northeast and Midwest, starting with a show in Louisville, Kentucky on July 6th.
With the trek the Eagles are promoting their new two-part documentary, "History of the Eagles," which will arrive on DVD and Blu-ray on April 30th. The band is expected to perform hits spanning their lengthy career, as well as some of their individual solo material.
Other surprises might be in store as well. Earlier this year Don Henley told Philadelphia's WMGK that "at least one former band member" would be involved in the tour. While he didn't name names, he implied it would be either Bernie Leadon or Randy Meisner, not Don Felder. And while the Eagles have gone on "farewell" tours before, Henley said this year's trek "could very well be" the last one for the group.
The Eagles Tour Dates
July 6 - Louisville, Kentucky, at the KFC Yum! Center
July 7 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at Summerfest
July 9 - Cleveland, Ohio, at Quicken Loans Arena
July 11 - Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at the Air Canada Centre
July 15 - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, at Scotiabank Place
July 16 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the Wells Fargo Center
July 18 - Uncasville, Connecticut, at the Mohegan Sun Arena
July 19 - Boston, Massachusetts, at the Comcast Center
July 22 - Washington, DC, at the Verizon Center
July 23 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the Consol Energy Center
July 25 - Bethel, New York, at the Bethel Woods Center

Chin raised, eyes narrowed, Votha Choun moved with purpose Monday morning: to stand before a judge and ask that his mother's killer never be allowed from behind bars.
As he neared the lectern, Votha Choun glared at Dennis Lambdin, 64, who stabbed his mother 19 times, bludgeoned her to death with a ceramic ball and then blamed the woman for driving him to kill.
"If he was a good man, like he said he was," Votha Choun told the judge, "he wouldn't have killed her."
On Monday, 3rd District Court Judge Vernice Trease sentenced Lambdin to serve 15 years to life for the murder of Touch Choun in the couple's Cottonwood Heights home in 2009.
An independent board will determine how much time Lambdin will ultimately spend behind bars. But even the minimum 15 year sentence could turn into a life sentence for Lambdin, a diabetic who is in failing health.
It was a long-awaited resolution for Choun's friends and family, but also for those who worked on the case. Prosecutor Fred Burmester told the court Monday that blaming the victim for her own murder as was done in Lambdin's trial was uncalled for and frustrating.
"The defendant stabbed his wife 19 times. He killed her ... and yet it's her reputation dragged through the mud," Burmester said. "She had a life marred by violence. Who are we to stand here in judgment of her?"
Hearing someone defend his mother's character before the judge gave Votha Choun a "sense of peace" he hasn't felt in years, he said.
His mother was not perfect, he told the court, but she was loving.
She cared for everyone in her life, he said, but none as much as her children.
Touch Choun, a Cambodian refugee, gave birth to five children. Her firstborn died of sudden infant death syndrome days after she brought the infant home from the hospital. The mother blamed herself for the baby's death.
She turned to alcohol to ease her suffering, her son said.
"It's not wrong to feel pain," Votha Choun said. "It's not wrong to want to make it go away."
She lost custody of her other children Votha and his three younger sisters but never stopped caring for them.
When Votha was 14, he moved in with his mother and her new husband, Lambdin.
"I don't know what made [Lambdin] say he was a nice, loving person," Votha Choun told the judge. "Because that's not how I remember it."
Votha Choun recounted years of violence and verbal abuse. He said living with his mother and stepfather made for the worst four years of his life.
"The only thing that kept me sane were the moments I had alone with my mother," he said, pausing to take a steadying breath. "I felt like we were going to get through it together."
Lambdin, who remained silent throughout his three-day trial, spoke briefly Monday to apologize to Votha and the rest of his family.
"I just want to tell Votha and his family how sorry I am," Lambdin said. His voice shook. "I have to live with this for the rest of my life."
Votha Choun, a University of Utah student, said Lambdin's apology changed little.
"I will never forgive him," said Votha Choun in a phone interview after the hearing. "He did what he did and he tried to blame it on everyone but himself."
Lambdin was found guilty by a jury after three days of testimony in January. The jury determined Lambdin intended to kill his wife of nine years, and rejected the defense's claim that his actions were the result of a strained mental state and prolonged abusive relationship.
In the time since, Lambdin's attorneys have asked the court for a new trial, arguing that jurors did not understand the instruction that would have allowed them to find Lambdin guilty due to extreme emotional distress, a condition that asks whether a "reasonable person" would lose control and commit an act that would otherwise be out of character.
"They came to this verdict based on a misunderstanding of the law," argued defense attorney McCaye Christiansen. "
The judge ruled no error had been made in the trial. The judge also ordered Lambdin pay $7,000 in restitution.
No family or friends in support of Lambdin attended Monday's sentencing.
After the hearing, Votha Choun walked out surrounded by supporters and attorneys. He walked hurriedly past several news organizations who stood in the courthouse halls with cameras at the ready.
All he wants now, Votha Choun later said, is to move on.
"I don't always have to want justice for my mother's death every day," Votha Choun said. "Now, with this behind us, we can stop mourning her death and start appreciating, celebrating her life."

Scammers use deceptive sales tactics and threats of collections actions to bilk money from small businesses and charities for fake "yellow pages" and other directory advertising. The Consumer Protection Unit has noticed an increase in the number of complaints about this scam and cautions small businesses and nonprofits to train employees to recognize these bogus solicitations.
Directory scammers usually contact small businesses, churches, or charitable organizations through an initial fax or phone call to "confirm" information such as an address and phone number. For online directories, they may also ask questions about the entity, supposedly to use for search terms to submit to search engines. Employees often confirm or provide requested information thinking they are simply updating an existing advertisement or listing.
The scammers subsequently send a bill or invoice, claiming that an employee authorized the purchase. The bill may be for thousands of dollars -- purportedly advance payment for a year or more of service. Collection efforts are aggressive. If businesses protest, they are threatened with late fees, collections, and legal action. Many small business or organizations decide to give in and pay, thinking they have to protect their credit or just hoping to stop the harassing phone calls or faxes.

BRUSSELS, -- Starbucks Coffee Co. has joined the European Vending Association, following EVA's decision at last fall's annual meeting to extend membership to multinational coffee companies.
"As a newer player in office coffee service, the EVA is sure that Starbucks can benefit from the vast experience and innovations of our existing members, as well as sharing their own expertise and ideas of the European coffee segment," EVA said. "Starbucks understands what makes a good quality cup of coffee, and what a customer desires. This knowledge will be valuable to the EVA members seeking to 'premiumize' their self-service coffee offerings."
Starbucks entered Europe's vending and OCS market in 2013 when it teamed up with vending giant Selecta to install "vending cafés" in large offices throughout the continent. | READ MORE
The European Vending Association represents the interests of the vending industry before European governments and regulatory bodies. Its members include national trade associations, along with European operators, manufacturers and suppliers.

CHOW TIME!: It's eatin' day today! Or at least it's thinkin' 'bout eatin' day. How many times have we been told not to write a column on an empty stomach? In fact, if we're in the interrogative mood, how many people have chimed in with "How many times has HE had an empty stomach? Aaahahaha!"?
We're going to start out with eating for a cause, because nothing soothes the glutton's conscience like gorging himself in the name of benefiting others.
Taste at the Point is a fundraiser featuring local restaurants offering samples of their finest offerings from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Grace Presbyterian Church at 3955 Studebaker Road, at Los Coyotes Diagonal.
For a donation of $15, you get samples of food from the the Blackbird Cafe, Tiago's, the New Rick and Brian's Cafe, the Hot Dog Shoppe, Miss Priss Cupcakes, Bis Sports Cafe, Legends, Roadhouse Grill, Buono's, Glory Days, Gladstone's and Grounds.
Also, you get musical samplings from Jackie Young and the bands Totally '80s (featuring Grace First's maniacally talented Minister of Music, Stan DeWitt and Social Distortion/Adolescents/ Agent Orange drummer Derek O'Brien) and Squarefish.
The event, put together by Lynda DeWitt, benefits Breast Cancer Angels, which pays for essentials such as food, medicine and housing for women in treatment.
Check www.tasteatthepoint.org.
QMBBQ: This next one is something you have to start planning for now, because you're going to be eating so much you won't be able to drive home.
It's the first West Coast BBQ Classic at the Queen Mary's Events Park on May 12.
You buy yourself a mittful of tasting tickets and sample your way through more than 30 barbecue styles of competing Q'rs from Memphis, Kansas City, the Carolinas and Texas, although why you'd eat Texas barbecue when there's Memphis, K.C. and Carolina available is beyond us.
Besides mountains of meat, you can enjoy live music, BBQ-eating competitions, a kids' zone and a Jack Daniels' Lounge for guests over 21.
The best bet for the day is to just hang around and eat and then collapse in your room aboard the ship.
Packages starting at $199 get you overnight accommodations, two general admission tickets to the Classic, 13 tasting tickets and free parking.
Gates open at 11 a.m. General admission is $10 and includes one tasting ticket. Additional tickets are $2; six for $10: 13 for $20. Parking is $12.
Take a look at the competitors and other info at www.westocoastbbqclassic.com.
CINCO GUAC: If we learned nothing else in our two years of Latin classes, Saturday is Cinco de Mayo. It's a great day to celebrate Taco Tuesday early, with an occasional shot of nice agave tequila next to an ice-cold Tecate beer with lime and salt on everything.
And, of course, a giant bowl of guacamole.
We don't really have a recipe. We just smash avocados (they grow wild out by the Barn!) and toss things in until it tastes great. These things include tomato, cilantro, onions, lime juice, garlic salt, Cholula and jalepeño chiles.
Every October at Carpenteria's California Avocado Fest, judges select the best guacamole, so we figured we'd share last year's winner, by Cherisse Kirkendall, with you. Oddly, it's about as basic a guacamole recipe as you're likely to find anywhere:
You take seven medium Hass avocados (do we have to tell you gringos to remove the skin and the gigantic seed? Yes, remove them.), four diced and seeded Roma tomatoes, a cup of diced red onion, two tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic salt and a dash of pepper.
Smash the avocados in a bowl, add the onion and seasonings. Cut tomatoes into medium size squares and mix in. Serve chilled.
If you want to toss in other stuff - a minced jalepeno comes to mind - go ahead and do it. What could go wrong (we'll tell you: A friend of ours once tossed a banana into the mix. Don't do that)?
Runner-up in last year's contest had such ingredients as oregano, queso anejo, bacon (of course), shredded crab and diced shrimp.

USU Extension 4-H Youth Attend National Conference in Washington, D.C.
LOGAN, UT – A delegation of four Utah State University Extension 4-H youth, representing Utah's 98,000 4-Hers and 8,400 volunteer 4-H leaders, recently attended National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C. The Utah delegation returned home from a week where more than 270 youth and adults representing 4-H programs across the country gathered to exchange ideas, gain knowledge to share back at home and develop recommendations to help guide the future of 4-H programs both nationally and in their communities.
Alayna Bealer of Minorsville, Kayden Ence of St. George, Jacob Webb of Beaver and Karli Wells of Spanish Fork represented Utah 4-H at the April 6-11 conference. Through various conference sessions and facilitated discussions, delegates learned and shared information on current trends and issues relevant to 4-H and youth. Building effective partnerships, creating innovative 4-H programs, expanding the use of technology, working with diverse groups and impacting community needs were also conference topics. At the completion of roundtable discussions, delegates gave presentations to federal agencies to recommend innovative change and represent youth voice.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many youth," said Paul Hill, USU Extension assistant professor who accompanied the delegation. "Not only because of travelling to and touring Washington, D.C., but presenting to high-ranking officials who have the ear of our Commander-in-Chief."
The group worked for two days to prepare and deliver presentations to the White House Office of Science and Technology as well as the United States Department of Agriculture. They also met with with U.S. Senators from Utah, Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, as well as Utah's U.S. Representatives Jason Chaffetz and Chris Stewart.
"Our youth have a heightened sense of the problems that our nation currently faces, particularly the problems their generation is going to have to solve," said Hill. "When they come home, our youth are commissioned to work on a local level to help solve these challenges in their communities."

[COLOR="White"][SIZE="4"]Of course we can install BT4 to HDD using a USB key or a CD/DVD. But I wonder if we can install using the ISO file we've downloaded?

Hypertension - home monitoring
Your doctor may ask you to keep track of your blood pressure at home. To do this, you will need to get a good quality, well-fitting home blood pressure monitor.
There are two types of monitors you can use at home: a manual monitor, and an electronic or digital monitor. A digital monitor is a better option. It is very important that you have a monitor with a cuff that fits your arm (above the elbow). Make sure that the cuff is the right size (one size does not fit all).
Practice using the monitor with your doctor or nurse to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly.
Ask your doctor to show you how to use the monitor. Your arm should be supported, with your upper arm at heart level and feet on the floor (back supported, legs uncrossed).
It's best to measure your blood pressure after you rest for at least 5 minutes. Do not take your blood pressure when you are under stress, have had caffeine or used a tobacco product in the last 30 minutes, or have recently exercised.
See: Measuring blood pressure for steps to take when measuring your blood pressure.
Manual devices include a cuff that wraps around your arm, a rubber squeeze bulb, and a gauge that measures the blood pressure. A stethoscope is needed to listen to the blood pulsing through the artery.
You can see your blood pressure on the circular dial of the gauge as the needle moves around and the pressure in the cuff rises or falls.
When used correctly, manual devices are very accurate. However, they are not the recommended type of blood pressure monitor for home use.
A digital device will also have a cuff that wraps around your arm. To inflate the cuff, you may need to use a rubber squeeze ball, or simply push a button and the cuff will inflate by itself.
After the cuff is inflated, the pressure will slowly drop on its own. The screen will show a digital readout of your systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
After showing your blood pressure, the cuff will deflate on its own. With most machines, you must wait for 2 to 3 minutes before using it again.
A digital blood pressure monitor will not be as accurate if your body is moving when you are using it. Also, an irregular heart rate will make the reading less accurate. However, digital monitors are the best choice for most people.

In just the past 24 hours, I have heard or read seven national news stories about the role of libraries in these challenging economic times, often when library funding is being cut.
All of the stories stress that people turn to libraries for help with a job search, computer classes, free wifi, free family programs, books, AV materials… the list goes on.
In many of these communities, especially ones in which the library is part of city government, the library has experienced major financial set backs and been forced to reduce hours, lay off staff, close branches at the same time the need and demand for library services is exploding.
KPL is a district library and directly responsible to the voters. Our revenues are flat this year….state aid has been reduced, interest income is flat, there is limited growth in our property tax base. We are trimming some "backroom" operations, not filling some staff vacancies, continuing to look for efficiencies in our processes. We have not had to reduce hours, close branches, or drop entire services.
"...more people are re-discovering the value of the public library." (CBS News)
As with the libraries mentioned in these national news stories, our use is up in all areas: our total circulation is up 10% so far this year, AV over 20%; patron assistance is up 22%, computer use over 50%. Program attendance is strong too.
I am often asked about our funding. We will have a millage renewal vote on May 5. This is our basic operational millage approved by the voters 20 years ago. It provides about 95% of our revenue. Its renewal will allow us to continue to provide these services: materials, programs, branches, computer classes among many others.

Brevard vs. Wingate Game Day InformationSeptember 22, 2011
Directions, Game Notes and Radio/Stat links at the bottom of the article
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados embark on one of their most difficult road trips of the 2011 season this Saturday as they make the trip east to Wingate, N.C. and Wingate University to take on the reigning South Atlantic Conference Champion Bulldogs in their first road conference game of the season.
The last time these two teams met on the field, the Tornados offense jumped ahead in the game, going up on three first half rushing touchdowns by Neville Bryce, but preseason All-American Honorable Mention quarterback Cody Haffly led the comeback in the second half, throwing five touchdown passes over the last 31 minutes of the game in leading the Bulldogs to the 44-37 victory in Asheville High School Memorial Stadium.
Both teams come into today's contest with matching 1-2 overall records, but the Tornados have fallen in South Atlantic Conference action, losing to Mars Hill College this past weekend in Brevard Memorial Stadium, while the Bulldogs have yet to open South Atlantic Conference play, having faced Valdosta State, Albany State and UNC Pembroke.
The Tornados continue to feature one of the most potent rushing attacks in the NCAA Division II, averaging 232.67 yards per game, led by the talented duo of quarterback Aaron Reese and Kelvin Jeter. However, the Tornados rushing onslaught took a hit this past week when fullback Derek Church went down for the season with a broken leg, and the burden will fall on the burgeoning BC passing attack led by tight end Eric Watts to pick up the balance in the BC offense. Haffly and the SAC's leading receiver Chris Bowden pace a Wingate passing attack ranked 11th overall in the NCAA Division II, averaging 330.67 passing yards per game and will challenge a BC defense which is giving up 291.67 yards per game through the air.
Wingate holds the 6-2-1 all-time edge in the series against the Tornados.
Brevard Players to Watch
Kelvin Jeter - A sophomore rarely has the chance or the ability to crack into the school's all-time record book in a single category, let alone multiple however that is what sophomore slot Kelvin Jeter is threatening to do in this game against Wingate University. The Tornados first offensive All-SAC First Team selection, Jeter is currently three yards away from Neville Bryce's one year old record of 1,254 career rushing yards, and Jeter broke the All-Purpose record last week against Mars Hill and is first all-time with 1,787 yards. With the loss of redshirt senior fullback Derek Church for the remainder of the 2011 season, the Tornados look for Jeter to regain some of the magic he possessed last year as he picked up 138 yards on 11 carries against the Bulldogs as Brevard nearly picked up the upset against Wingate last season in Asheville High School Memorial Stadium.
Rashad Dirton - One week after a tackling display only seen three times before in Brevard College history, Dirton looks to continue to display his skill set in the Brevard College secondary, having lined up at both safety and cornerback for the Tornados in his four years with Brevard. Dirton's 17 tackle performance tied with Trey Jenkins' performance last season and was behind only Stanley Jones' 21 and 18 tackle games. Dirton, lining up at cornerback this past Saturday against Mars Hill, recorded nine solo tackles and eight assisted tackles and is currently second on the team and third in the South Atlantic Conference in tackles on the season with 9.3 tackles per game and will have his hands full against Wingate as he looks to team up with Salonick Amos to shut down the Bulldogs' passing attack.
Wingate Players to Watch
Cody Haffly - One of the most accomplished passers in both Wingate and the South Atlantic Conference history, Haffly led the Bulldogs deep into the NCAA playoffs last season and was a nominee for the prestigious Harlon Hill trophy last year. This year, the most experienced quarterback in the conference is currently 79-for-142 with a SAC high nine touchdown passes and has thrown for 901 yards, averaging 300.3 passing yards per game. Last season, a trio of touchdown passes from Haffly turned the tide in Wingate favor and the Bulldogs will look to his strong ride arm to lead them to victory again this season.
Jared Seate - The reigning South Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, Seate leads the Bulldogs defense on the season with 32 tackles on the year and has been a disruptive force behind the line of scrimmage with three tackles for loss. In a week of players standing out for their high tackle totals, Seate took the crown, recording a career high 18 tackles this past weekend in the Bulldogs 29-26 overtime victory over UNC Pembroke. A redshirt junior, the 6-3, 230 pound linebacker is the heart of the Bulldogs defense and will look to disrupt the potent Brevard College rushing attack.
Kickoff for the South Atlantic Conference game between the Tornados and the Bulldogs is set for 1:30 p.m. at Irwin Belk Stadium in Wingate, N.C.
Fans who are unable to attend the game, can listen live through the broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Dwayne Summers over the radio at WSQL Radio 1240 AM, or over the internet at www.wsqlradio.com.

Book a flight to Riyadh and visit Saudi Arabia's capital, one of the world's wealthiest cities. Riyadh is a city of contradictions; the gleaming modern skyscrapers are in stark contrast to the conservative, cautious vibe of the city. Traditional dress codes are still observed here and Riyadh is a great place to witness the juxtaposition of old and new.
You can fly to Riyadh with Qatar Airways to explore this thriving metropolis for yourself. The summer months are best avoided, as temperatures can exceed 50 degrees centigrade.
You'll discover no shortage of historical sights on your trip to Riyadh, but visitors should be aware most sights are closed on Fridays and Saturdays. Everything is shut during prayer hours, so sightseeing needs to be carefully planned.
In the heart of Old Riyadh, visit Masmak Fortress, restored in 2008. The museum inside recounts the story of King Abdul Aziz's raid in 1902 – you can even see a spearhead still lodged in the doorway.
The city's most stunning sight is the Kingdom Tower. Saudi Arabia's second-tallest building attracts visitors to the Skybridge. Set on the 99th floor, the walkway connects the two towers at 300m above ground level and the best views of the city can be experienced after dark.
It's well worth exploring the National Museum, one of the Middle East's finest museums. Here you'll find galleries covering Arabic culture, history and art, and it's easy to spend a whole day here.
Travel to Riyadh and you'll find the area is home to several excellent golf courses. Try the Dirab Golf and Country Club, just 30 minutes from the city, where you'll also find a swimming pool and tennis courts.
The Saudi royal family's ancestral home, Al-Dir'iyyah, was Saudi Arabia's capital until 1818. While you can't visit the old city ruins themselves, the surrounding area has plenty worth seeing and some excellent photo opportunities.
'Dune bashing' in a 4 x 4 at the Thumama sand dunes or guided tours of the desert are a great way to escape the city. Football is also a popular pastime here. Matches are held at King Fahad Stadium, but women are not permitted.
Saudi Arabian cuisine can be found throughout the city, and it is possible to eat very well on a budget here. Traditional dishes such as Shawarma (meat and vegetables in pitta) and Falafel (spiced chickpea fritters) are popular.
Drinking tea is customary in Riyadh, although you will find it is usually served black. If you ask for milk, you may get sheep, goat or camel's milk. Spending an afternoon at a traditional coffee house on Tahlia Street in Olaya is a great way to mingle with the locals.
For basic curry and rice, the city's Indian restaurants are a safe bet and Olaya Street offers plenty of choice. It's easy to find international cuisine here too. For breakfast or brunch, many of Riyadh's five-star hotels offer indulgent buffets featuring a wide range of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.
It is easy to find unusual souvenirs for friends and family when you travel to Riyadh. Head for Souq al-Thumairi or Lamma for coffee pots, carpets, silver jewellery and handicrafts. You'll find English is widely spoken and haggling essential.
The city's air-conditioned malls line many of Riyadh's main roads and offer welcome respite from the summer sun. Al Faisaliah, one of the city's best malls, is home to designer boutiques and department stores. Al Mamlaka is also a good place to find designer labels, with the third floor specially reserved for women.
Flights to Riyadh with Qatar Airways arrive at King Khaled Airport, around 35km from the city centre.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Riyadh please check the visa and passport requirements.
Currency: Saudi Riyal (SAR)
Voltage: 127 / 220 V 60 Hz

Rob Kardashian tweets and deletes after skipping Kim Kardashian's wedding
(Yahoo!) - Nothing keeps Rob Kardashian down.
After skipping his sister Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West on Saturday, Rob, 27, took to Twitter on Monday morning to let everyone know he was doing just fine, writing, "Good morning here in LA."
However, not long after posting the simple tweet, he deleted it -- along with every other tweet he'd ever published -- and started fresh with several posts for Memorial Day and a birthday message to Scott Disick.
Happy Birthday @ScottDisick! Love You Brother! pic.twitter.com/815h9ZjLGy
— ROBERT KARDASHIAN (@robkardashian) May 26, 2014
His tweets didn't reveal why he chose not to attend the much-anticipated Florence, Italy, nuptials of his older sister, but the sock designer was in Paris for the days leading up to the main event. However, he skipped most of the celebratory activities, including the group's Wednesday family dinner at Hotel de Costes and the Friday morning brunch at Valentino's Chateau de Wideville.
He also skipped the rehearsal dinner at Versailles and the wedding, a source tells People, because "he just didn't want to see a bunch of people both nights and really just is not feeling like himself."
The source denies reports that Rob and Kim were fighting.
"He is really overweight and having a hard time with it," added the source.
Rob also didn't make any strides to explain the cryptic move to completely refresh his Twitter account... but we guess everyone deserves a fresh start.

Was $39.95 NOW $19.95
This is the patented collar that uses ultrasonic sound to humanely restore peace and quiet for those vexed by a dog's nuisance barking. When a dog barks while wearing this collar, a built-in microphone detects the sound, causing the unit to emit a harmless high-pitched tone—inaudible to humans—that startles the animal into silence. The dog eventually associates its bark with the unpleasant sound, which conditions him to curb this undesirable behavior. An LED lights when the collar is operating and shows battery status. The rugged nylon collar fits up to a 28" neck; alternately, the unit can be removed and attached to an existing collar up to 3/4" wide. Includes two CR2032 batteries. The device works on all breeds and sizes and is most effective when used in conjunction with standard canine obedience training techniques. For dogs 8 lbs. and up.

Had to return after one day
By Expectant Mama
from Wisconsin
Unfortunately, I had to return this product. It would make the ultrasonic sound, to scold the dog for his barking, but only sometimes. If my husband would be talking in the same room, it would also scold the dog. Finally, every time my dog ate out of his food bowl, it would scold him. Because of its inaccuracy, it is not the right product for us.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Works exactly as advertised
By 4 dog owner
from Castro Valley, CA
My cavalier king charles spaniel has high anxiety and barks incessantly to go outside, and at smells of wildlife in the yard. I previously tried a shock-collar which I do not recommend for smaller dogs as she was truly unable to tolerate it. However this signal does not seem effective for altering her behavior after the first day. It is like she adjusted to the noise pretty fast and stopped responding.

The Bark Deterring Ultraonic Collar
By Charles
from Washington, DC
Our female pug - 9+ years, a very intelligent and energetic pug, who had been barking at other dogs, runners, bicylists, skateboarders, etc has been subdued and limits her barking. She still hasn't figured out the ultrasonic.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Barking Deterring Ultrasonic Collar
By Cathy
from Weston, MA
The collar picks up other noises so that the collar emitted the noise detterent even when our dog wasn't barking.
Bar know Collar
By Doug
from Collingwood, Canada
Barking behaviour changed completely from the first time the collar was used.
Fantastic Product
By Stephanie
from St. Louis, MO
I've never written a product review, but I wanted to let others know about this product. I have an 8lb miniature dachshund who loves to bark. I have a standard bark collar for her by the same company but it is very heavy and I don't think it really works. I was hesitant about trying this, but the minute I put this collar on her she quits barking. It's not heavy and she doesn't seem to mind it. If you have a barking dog, this is definitely worth a try!
Instant Pet Programming
By CF Pickin Chick
from Clark Fork
my terrier mix loves to bark at other people and dogs, but once the collar is on, he instantly stops his Tasmanian devil attitude. He comes to me and stays near my feet instead of going berserk! No harm to him is observed.
I would recommend this product!
By Wesley
from London, Ontario, Canada
This collar provides a humane way to reduce excessive barking...very pleased with product...worked within seconds.

Jury is still out
By sieperson
from Vermont
We've got two large dogs. Collar seems to deter barking in the bigger one and has absolutely no effect on the smaller. We'll keep trying because i just can,t go the shock route.
Works on a 7 year old habitual barker.
By Annie
from Cape Cod, MA
Preferable, and kinder, than the shock bark collars.

Slayer names Paul Bostaph as band's new drummer
Listen to Slayer on iHeartRadio
Slayer has a new drummer. The band has announced that Paul Bostaph has rejoined the band on a full-time basis, replacing the group's original drummer Dave Lombardo. Paul had previously been Slayer's drummer from 1992 until 2001, and frontman Tom Araya says they're pleased to have him back in the fold.
The singer-and-bassist adds that having Paul on board will make it easier for the group to move forward following last month's death of guitarist Jeff Hanneman. Slayer is launching their 2013 European trek in Warsaw on Tuesday. Exodus guitarist Gary Holt will be filling in for Hanneman on the tour.
Lombardo had been on the outs with Slayer for the past several months. He missed the band's Australian tour in February over a contract dispute. At the time the drummer said he didn't want to leave the group, but he had problems with the way their business was being handled. He explained that he felt the entire band had been undercompensated in 2012, and he couldn't bring himself to sign a new contract that didn't spell out how much or how often he'd be paid for upcoming work. Dave also expressed his hope that they'd be able to work things out.

That dude's put together.
He was a monster at middleweight and he's got a pretty good chin on him as well when people aren't throwing Harold Howard style rolling axe kicks.
Uscola hit him pretty flush with a spinning backfist as I recall that he shook off without issue.
Good signing.
If he finds his feet at welter he could give a lot of people a load of problems.
