I'm sorry to hear about the things you and your dogs have been through.

The blog is meant to give workable information on ways to work with dogs with PTSD. If you need to contact me directly, feel free to do so. It might be helpful if we could talk on the phone, etc.

First things first, though: send me an email at email@example.com and I'll get back to you.

Thanks,

I have a 2year old rat terrier male and 1 year old jack Russell terrier female. Both dogs were well socialized with people and other dogs. They accompany my husband and me mostly everywhere, including the emergency clinic where I work.
The female has always been a little more bold and exuberant.

In January, we were on a walk at a local lake which was well populated that day. Both dogs were in coats and harnesses and on separate leashes. Ahead of us, a man walking his Akita suddenly stopped and pulled off the trail. Akita turned to look at us, promptly slipped the harness and came running at us. Akita proceeded to bite my male and hold him in her mouth while shaking him as owner failed to even get close to dog. I was trying to keep my female from getting into the mix while kicking the Akita and yelling for help. Akita let go of my male, proceeded to attack me to get at both dogs. Akita bit my leg and grabbed my female from my arms around the throat and began to shake her. It took 3 people to get the Akita to let her go. My female (who does not swim) ran into a lake and swam across it. The man with the Akita ran away, and was never found. I took both dogs to the emergency hospital, where the male was found to have moderate lacerations (ultimately both dogs were saved by their harness and coat as the Akita was less able to puncture through the material) and was put on pain meds. My female had a punctured trachea that did resolve, lacerations, and also was sent home with lots of pain meds and antibiotics.

Sorry to write a book, but I am at a loss. We have slowly started to reintroduce walking and hiking in public areas and trails. My male is ok. My female is less reactive on leash after working with her 5 days a week for the past 2 months. However, when she sees an unfamiliar dog, she begins to tremble violently and when we tried to introduce her to a new dog through a closed cage gate (other dog was in a run and very sedate, not reactive to her at all) she started screaming like she was being murdered and tried to attack it through the cage gate.

I don't know how to help her be less fearful..I don't need her to be friends with every unfamiliar dog we come across but we do go hiking a lot and come across other dogs quite often. I do not let the dogs sniff noses or interact other than passing by other dogs quietly and calmly. If they start to get upset or excited we pull off the path I have them sit and "focus" on me.

At this point I am not sure if she is going to get any better or if I am making the situation worse? I am very fearful when we come across another dog although I try not to express it. I am not afraid of other dogs (I deal with unfamiliar animals every day at work and not always in an ideal situation), I am afraid for my dogs and I hate that I let my dogs get hurt in January. Do you have any suggestions? I know that our story is long and complicated. I haven't been able to find anything helpful for the aftermath of a dog attack and an appointment with our local behavioralist at the veterinary college is priced way beyond my vet tech salary.Heather Scanlonhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098893893180848248.post-1440566563344742582015-12-16T07:02:10.518-08:002015-12-16T07:02:10.518-08:00Yes, dogs will often exhibit what I call emotional...Yes, dogs will often exhibit what I call emotional resonance with another dog.

That's been my experience.

Suppling might help in those situations, but again, in my experience, the barking tends to stabilize the dog, but only if it's a deep-throated bark.

For some dogs I find that carrying a chewable item on a walk, like Texas Taffy, can settle a dog's nerves to a certain degree.

can you tell me if I should be getting my dog to speak before or during her fear response? or does it matter? My dog is terrified of meeting groups of dogs on our walks and it has been escalating slowly despite the fact that we are doing the core excercises regularly. She is great at pushing, will speak brilliantly at home (getting better on walks), and will bite and carry/play tug in some locations but she just can't focus to do any of these once she's gone into fear mode. In some places she is constantly tense and looking for danger. I'm guessing working on "supple" in these places might help but do you have any suggestions for what the hell else to do? I don't know how to help her get good enough at the excercises so we can use them to manage a fear situation.

Thanks for your comment.

There are certain rules about doing the pushing exercise and how to get maximum results. One is that a dog should be fed all his meals outdoors, preferably in a secluded spot, via the pushing exercise until all behavioral problems are resolved. A sub-rule of that is that if a dog won't eat from your hand outdoors, he's not hungry. So you wait until his next usual mealtime to feed him via the pushing exercise.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because, as I write in the article above, "hunger cures fear." That's the first step over the bridge that will eventually (hopefully) bring your dog back to normal emotional functioning. As long as the dog's hunger is showing itself in a weak rather than robust manner, nothing will change.

I hope this helps!

The way I see it behavioral problems like PTSD develop because a person's or dog's emotions get stuck and don't have a safe form of release. For soldiers with PTSD there's evidence to suggest that violent video games like Halo can help resolve their emotional issues. This is supposedly because the game acts as "exposure therapy," exposing the subjects to a virtual version of the traumatic event. However, another study, done on volunteers who were merely subjected to documentary footage of horrifying events, and developed nightmares and other symptoms of PTSD, had their symptoms reduced by playing Tetris, a video game with no violent content; it's just about getting falling blocks to line up in the most optimal way.

The point is that play, in and of itself, can cause changes to the parts of the brain that are otherwise caught in a loop of stress and fear chemicals. His running around, squeaking toys and pawing at you are ways he has of finding emotional stability, but either a) only for brief periods of time or b) in a way that doesn't get at the heart of the matter. Playing tug-of-war, outdoors, where you always let him win and praise him for winning, will be far more helpful.Lee Charles Kelleyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098893893180848248.post-9408261824174086362014-10-23T15:30:49.466-07:002014-10-23T15:30:49.466-07:00No he does not.

Educational Testing Service (ETS), the creator of the TOEFL� test, has announced that the largest TOEFL iBT� administration in its more than 45-year history took place December 10 -12th. The number of international test takers surpassed the previous administration record by 8 percent, including large numbers in China, India, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand. To date, more than 25 million students have taken the TOEFL test.
The record-breaking
administration and the overall number of TOEFL test takers on the rise is
attributed to the growing number of students studying abroad and the increased
recognition of the TOEFL test, the most widely accepted English language
assessment worldwide. The TOEFL test is used by more than 7,500 colleges and
universities, including the most prestigious institutions listed in U.S. News &
World Report's "Best Colleges 2011" (U.S.), the Russell Group (U.K.), and the
Group of Eight (Australia).
"The recent
record-setting TOEFL iBT administration represents a growing and diverse pool of
international test takers eager to pursue their educational aspirations,"
commented Teresa Sanchez-Lazer, Executive Director of the TOEFL Program. "With
TOEFL testing sites in more than 165 countries, we are pleased to make the
testing process accessible and more convenient to students around the world."
The TOEFL test
measures a student's ability to use and understand English at the university
level and evaluates how a student combines reading, speaking, listening, and
writing skills needed to succeed in an academic setting. Students can take the
TOEFL test at more than 4,500 testing sites globally and can benefit from the
various free-of-charge study resources offered by ETS, including the TOEFL Go
Anywhere website available in English, Chinese, and Korean and the "Welcome to
the TOEFL iBT Testing Site" video.

IT HAPPENED TO ME: My Boyfriend Gave Me An Incurable STI
The worst part about him will always be a part of me too
The worst part about him will always be a part of me too
The search for true love starts with the quest for a tall, shaggy haired man with soulful eyes, and ends with just finding a man to fart with.
As an experiment, I decided I'd l write up a profile of what I would actually say about myself if I were being 100 percent honest. Here's how guys responded.
It's that time of year. Joy and cheer and interrogative questions about your dating life and career choices from people you only kind of know and care about.

Off the top I must say that this is a class event. I came down Saturday to pick up my kit with my wife and ended up staying for lunch with friends and watching a fashion show/ comedy show, show casting women's running and exercise clothing. It was very entertaining.
Race day was cool with a stiff breeze off the lake. I met up with some of my old Guy`s and we lined up for the start. We knew that the winner of the 60+ would come from our group and although we all joked about our various disabilities ( according to us we should be in the wheel chair division) we all had our RACE faces on. When the Gun went off we all took off like Mad Men. We ran the first K in 3:48 still in a bunch. Shortly after that my legs turned to MUSH and not surprising we all ground to a halt. We had 15K to go. The winner was determined by. One; who could stand the PAIN best. Two; who recovered the fastest. Three; who had to walk the shortest.
I finished in 1:38 for fifth place the winner 1:35. We were all 5 to 10 minutes off our PBs. We had an average of about 50yrs running experience. It just shows that anybody can make a novice mistake!

Posted by Vladimir Brockovich on 20th Jul 2015
For some first time growers the hydroponic shop is the candy store; shelves lined with product after product, each of which could be incorporated into a nutrient regimen to help kick out the best finished flowers possible. On the other hand, some novice gardeners feel nothing but overwhelming uncertainty about the array of choices available to them.
So I've put together a guide that focuses on two simple nutrient lines, which will make choosing what to feed your plants the least of your worries.
FoxFarm's user-friendly three part line that almost anyone can get the hang of quickly. It consists of Grow Big (6-4-4), Big Bloom (0.01-0.3-0.7), and Tiger Bloom (2-8-4).
Grow Big will act as your main base nutrient for the vegetative life cycle of the garden and provides everything a plant will need to grow strong, sturdy stalks for handling all the weight they will put on later. Since it is a concentrated product, it is only required every other watering, which makes it easy for the user.
Big Bloom is a micro-brewed flowering nutrient that will be extremely effective in providing plants with what they need, but is still mild enough to use with every watering. Being composed mostly of earthworm castings, fossilized bat guanos, Norwegian kelp, and rock phosphate; this product is 100% organic. It provides the added boost needed to help get flowering nutrients to the places they need to be.
Tiger Bloom will act as the flowering base nutrient. You'll begin using it at the first signs of flowering. Being high in phosphorus, Tiger Bloom will be a needed part of your plant's nutrition for its flowering cycle. With a purposely low pH, the shelf life of the product is incredible; just do not forget to pH balance after mixing everything up!
Since Dyna-Gro is a one part nutrient, I love setting new growers up with their product line.
They make quite a few supplemental products, but their main line is just their Grow (7-9-5) and Bloom (3-12-6), which is used for exactly what you would think, vegetative growth and flowering growth.
Some of the biggest things that set Dyna-Gro apart from the competition are that they include the sixteen essential minerals necessary for the healthiest plants possible, contains no urea (that's a win for the hydro growers out there), and is chelated extremely well, so there shouldn't be any left over salts.
This product is not registered organic but nonetheless, it is relatively mild. Dyna-Gro claims that it will not harm any sea life in either a pond or fish tank, so for any newer organic focused growers out there looking to break into using mineral based salts, this is a great stepping stone!
Now I know there are many other products available, some that may be just as simple as the ones that have been suggested, but for any newbie gardener looking to get across the finish line with a sound product, both Fox Farm's three part and Dyna-Gro's one part formulas do the job every day of the week.
Stop into Urban Garden Supply at either location or visit us on the web at www.urbangardensupply.net for all your growing needs!
As indoor gardeners, we're always trying to maximize the quality of our yield, pushing our crops as hard as we can; however, plants can only achieve the quality that their genetic make-up allows.Unfortunately, some growers still do not see the quality and results that they anticipated even, though they believe they are maximizing their nutrient regimen. The ugly truth about the [...]
When toying with the concept of organic gardening, both seasoned and novice growers alike tend to be skeptical on the effectiveness. Fortunately, with quality amendments and a little planning, organic gardening can produce a similar yield, better aroma, stronger flavor and equal potency to other conventional growing methods.As far as choosing the right formula to use on your organic growing [...]
You're in the middle of your blooming phase; everything is going well, except you can't seem to achieve the weight or size that you were anticipating. You're wondering what you can do to change that, and luckily, there are plenty of products that will help you get your plants on track to what you envisioned in your mind! These are [...]
Regardless of what nutrient regimen you choose, there are two common ideas both commercial and hobbyist growers agree upon: the need for increased yield and the ability to harvest more frequently.Two products that do just that are Advanced Nutrient's Bud Ignitor and Bud Factor X. Both nutrient additives are vital to seizing any grower's opportunity to utilize the maximum genetic potential of their [...]
Anyone who's been in an indoor garden supply knows there are enough nutrient bottles on the market to make your eyes bleed. Trying to figure out what does what can be completely overwhelming.Quite often after looking at a vast number of bottles our customers will ask, "Do I need all of these to grow?" The answer [...]

Kentucky Derby lore is filled with stories of jockeys and their quests to capture the roses on the first Saturday in May. Bad luck or the hand of fate have often stepped in to alter the best of plans.
In 1942, Eddie Arcaro selected Devil Diver as his Derby mount, even though the trainer begged him to ride the stablemate, Shut Out. Had Arcaro listened, he would have had a career six Derby wins, instead of being tied for the record of five with Bill Hartack.
Al Snider was the regular pilot for Citation in 1948, but the rider went fishing off the Florida Keys in March and was never seen again. Arcaro got the mount.
In 1958, Hartack was the regular rider for Tim Tam. Had he not broken his leg seven days before the Derby, Hartack would have ended his career with a record six.
Bill Shoemaker was riding both Northern Dancer and Hill Rise in 1964. The Shoe chose Hill Rise in the Derby. Northern Dancer (with Hartack subbing) beat him by a neck. If Shoemaker had made the other decision, he would have retired with five Derby wins and Hartack would have retired with only four.
See how many of these Derby jockeys you can identify.
1. Pat Day rode in the Kentucky Derby 22 times, winning only once (Lil E. Tee in 1992). Laffit Pincay Jr. rode in the Derby 21 times, winning only with Swale in 1984. Bill Shoemaker holds the record for most Derby mounts with 26.
Remarkably, 22 jockeys won the Kentucky Derby the one and only time they rode in the race. Ten of those came in 1800s, before the Derby gained its widespread notoriety and importance. Three of the 20th century jockeys who retired 1 for 1 in the Derby were aboard Triple Crown winners. Name the riders.
2. Of the 26 jockeys who have ridden in the Kentucky Derby at least 10 times, no one has a better win percentage than Bill Hartack, who died late last year at age 74. Hartack won with 5 of his 12 lifetime mounts, a winning rate of 42 percent. He won with 5 of his first 9 mounts (56 percent).
Of the riders with 10 or more mounts in the Derby, whose win percentage is second highest?
3. Johnny Longden won his only Derby as a rider aboard Count Fleet in 1943. (He trained Majestic Prince to win the Derby in 1969.) Longden died in 2003 at age 96, meaning he had 60 years to savor his winning Derby ride. Other jockeys were not so fortunate.
George Garret Lewis, who won the 1880 Derby on Fonso, died two months later from injuries sustained in a racing spill in St. Louis. Frank Goodale, who rode Chant to an easy victory in the 1894 Derby, died two days later when a horse he was riding tripped and fell.
Perhaps the strangest death involved Eugene James, who won the 1932 Derby aboard Burgoo King. How did he die?
4. Only four riders have won the Kentucky Derby in back-to-back years, the most recent being Eddie Delahoussaye in 1982 (Gato del Sol) and 1983 (Sunny's Halo). No jockey has won three straight.
In 1903, however, everyone seemed ready to concede that future Hall of Fame rider Jimmy Winkfield was going to win his third straight Derby. There were only six horses in the race and Winkfield was on the 3-5 favorite, Early. An unbelievably bad ride by the jockey cost the colt the race. Name the winning horse and his rider.
5. Because of Kentucky's proximity to the South, African-American jockeys rode prominently in the Derby during its first three decades. They won 15 of the 28 runnings from 1875-1902. By contrast, only two Preakness Stakes and four Belmont Stakes have been won by African-American riders.
Only one African-American jockey can lay claim to winning each of the three races that make up what we now call the Triple Crown. Name him.

Hi Everyone,
One of my foodie projects for 2017 is fermentation and I'm going to be busy over the coming months learning more about food fermentation and creating and testing recipes to share.
Homemade fermentation preserves the nutrients in food and breaks it down in a way that it's easy to digest. Hence why one of the big benefits of food fermentation is improved digestion.
Fermenting foods is not a new phenomenon. It's something that cultures have been doing for decades but due to the way we live and eat now (fresh foods are available all the time via supermarkets and it's too easy to pick up jars) the traditional has declined. Therefore as a result probiotics and enzymes in most diets have also declined over time.
Other reasons fermented foods are good for us, aside from the fact they improve our digestion are that some foods are sources of probiotics, i.e they produce good bacteria. These natural probiotics can help various diseases, aid digestion and improve bowel health. It's also a great way to preserve food. Fresh beetroot for example will only last days in your fridge, but fermented beetroot will last months. So it's great for tackling food waste.
This week I'm sharing my recipe for homemade tomato ketchup. Fermentation does take patience. It takes time to reach perfection so don't give up!

I thought it was a great take on the superhero genre, and managed to tread the line between silly and trying-too-hard. It's nice that the trailer didn't give everything away, but I can't say more without spoiler warnings.

New threats to the Ozone Layer
Scientific researchers have discovered new evidence that four man made gases are involved in the depletion of the ozone layer and two of them are present in amounts that are causing serious concern. The original fears about the ozone layer date back decades and in the mid 1980s production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC's) became restricted. The source of the new chemicals affecting the ozone layer however, are a mystery. The four new gases are, CFC-112, CFC-112a, CFC-113a, and HCFC 113a. CFC-113a is an 'agrochemical intermediate for the manufacture of pyrethroids', a category of insecticide commonly used in the agricultural industry. CFC-113a along with HCFC-133a are intermediaries commonly involved in making refrigerators. It is thought CFC-112 and 112a may be being used in producing solvents for cleaning electrical components.
New threat to the Ozone Layer
The ozone layer is critical to maintaining a habitable environment on Earth and lies between 15 and 30 kilometres up in the atmosphere. The ozone layer blocks harmful Ultra Violet rays which would otherwise cause cancer and affect the reproductive capacity in animals. Scientific researchers from the British Antarctic Survey discovered a massive hole in the in he ozone layer in 1985. It was immediately agreed that the cause were CFC gases which had been invented and been in use since the 1920s. They had become widely used in propellants for products such as deodorants and hairsprays which had been used increasingly widely since the 1950s since when the effect on the ozone layer had been accumulating. Global action was almost immediate and the Montreal Protocol agreeing to restrict the use of these substances in the hope of reviving the ozone layer, was implemented in 1987. Eventually a complete world wide ban came into operation in 2010. But now new research into the ozone layer by the University of East Anglia in the UK, has unearthed evidence that four new man made gases capable of destroying the ozone layer are escaping into the atmosphere from sources yet identified. Three of the new gases are CFCs and the fourth is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) which is also capable of damaging the ozone layer. The scientists say that these four were not present in the atmosphere at all before the 1960s, a fact which indicates that they are likely to be man made substances. The scientific researchers discovered their newly introduced presence and potential effect on the ozone layer by doing scientific analysis of the polar snow pack. The air present in the snow contains a perfect record or what the Earth's atmosphere would have contained at any time in the last 100 years.
The scientists compared the air extracted from the snow with up to date air samples collected in Tasmania and have estimated that around 74,000 tonnes of the offending gases have been released into the Earth's atmosphere and are capable of damaging the ozone layer. Two of them are accumulating at a worryingly rapid rate. The concern is that eventually the gases will contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer. The main obstacle to any potential action at the moment to save the ozone layer would be the lack of information as to where the gases are coming from. Theories as to their origin include solvents used in cleaning electrical components and feedstock chemicals used to manufacture insecticides. But some scientists believe that for the sake of the ozone layer the problem has to be tackled urgently. They point out that the three CFC chemicals are destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere so even if emissions were to halt immediately they would still be present in the atmosphere for years to come and have an effect on the ozone layer. At the moment the gases are present in volumes which don't present any serious threat to the ozone layer but may do in the future if nothing is done to restrict or eliminate further accumulation.
A job not yet done
Until these revelations emerged in March 2014 the ozone layer had dropped out of the headlines. It was considered that the Montreal Protocol had been so successful at eliminating CFCs that the threat to the ozone layer had been removed. But news about the new chemicals indicates that the ozone layer is not as yet and old story. At the moment CFC-113a seems to be causing the biggest cause for concern. But other mysteries surround the progress of the ozone layer in recent years. The hole which still appears over the Antarctic, changes in size and depth from year to year. The US Space Agency Nasa, thinks that it's the weather rather than chemicals which is the driving force in variations in the ozone layer. They think it unlikely that chemicals are to blame for year to year fluctuations. The CFC's which were restricted by the Montreal Protocol have now partly dissipated and the ozone layer was stating to recover. The CFCs had been damaging the ozone layer by breaking down in the upper part of the atmosphere and releasing chlorine. In reactions assisted by the Sun the chlorine systematically destroyed the ozone layer. Following the CFC ban however the hole stopped getting any bigger. But in some years, for example 2006 and 2011 the hole in the ozone layer appeared large but in 2012 it looked small. Nasa has concluded hat weather must be a driving force and is affecting the amount of ozone brought into the polar regions by the wind from year to year. Nasa has identified wind direction changes and fluctuating air temperature as influencing the amount of ozone hovering above Antarctica and so believe that weather is the cause of annual fluctuations in the apparent size of the hole in the ozone layer. Nasa thinks that these fluctuations will be the dominant feature of the hole in the ozone layer until about 2030 and after that the long lasting chemicals present in the atmosphere will start to decline steeply. They expect the ozone layer to make a full recovery by no later than 2080 and possibly sooner.
No laughing matter
The United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) has however identified yet another threat to the ozone layer. Unep thinks that the ozone layer is being depleted by nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and believes the chemical presents the biggest of the existing known threats. Scientists at Unep have concluded that owing to human activities including farming, levels of nitrous oxide might double by 2050. If that happens and the gas presents the threat to the ozone layer that Unep says it does, all of the gains already achieved by reducing CFCs could be eliminated and the ozone layer will become thinner. Thinning of the ozone layer apart from the effects identified in the mid 1980s might hasten the onset of global warming. Nitrous oxide is sometimes referred to as one of the 'Cinderella Gases' because its effect goes unnoticed. N2O is present naturally in the atmosphere, but agriculture is the largest man made source contributing two thirds of emissions and any effect of the ozone layer will derive from the man-made contribution. The gas is sometimes used as a painkiller and anaesthetic in surgery and dentistry. It's sometimes used as a recreational drug called 'nozz' which itself is a cause for concern. Laughing gas abuse might lead to neurological damage and death. Unep believes that N2O is the third most important gas involved in potential global warming and although Nitrous Oxide makes up only 6% of greenhouse gases, its effect is the equivalent of emitting 3 billion tonnes of CO2 a year. Put in perspective this is the equivalent of half the emissions of all the motor vehicles in the world.

The Alameda Gardens were established on the 14th April 1816. They were the brainchild of Lieutenant-Governor General Sir George Don, who planned the Alameda as part of more extensive reforms to improve living conditions on the Rock. Monuments and artefacts around the gardens remind us of their age and the Rock's military and social history. By the end of the 19th Century, the Alameda had developed into a beautiful and well-known garden. It now holds thousands of plants from around the world.
To commemorate the 200th anniversary of this historical and botanical touristic destination Gibraltar Post has designed five special stamps that are recommended to our readers by FindYourStampsValue.com.
64p stamp: The main entrance to the Alameda Gardens is marked by two Russian guns, which were taken during the Crimean War and brought to Gibraltar in 1858. The steps alongside these guns are known as the Heathfield Steps, because they lead up to the bust of the 1st Baron Heathfield, General George Augustus Eliott .
70p stamp: The Gibraltar Botanic Gardens specialise in succulent plants. Aloes, such as this lovely Aloe pseudorubroviolacea from Arabia, are a particular focus, with some 140 species present. The bandstand in the background is known as the Prince of Wales' Summer House.
80p stamp: The old bridge over The Dell affords the prettiest vistas in the Alameda Gardens. The stunning Bougainvillea that grows over it is over a hundred years old. Parts of the Alameda Gardens and other gardens in and around Gibraltar were designed by Italian landscape gardener Giuseppe Codali, who is commemorated by a bust that lies at the entrance to the bridge.
£1 stamp: The Dell or Italian Garden is without doubt the most attractive part of the Alameda Gardens. It was established in 1842, shortly after the Alameda's inauguration. The Dell is an extremely popular wedding venue during the warmer months and, although access into The Dell itself is restricted, the views from the bridge that crosses over it display this subtropical garden at its very best.
£2 stamp: The Alameda Gardens house some old monuments. These include a bust of General George Augustus Eliott, who was the Governor of Gibraltar during the Great Siege (1779-1783). The four howitzers that surround him date back to 1778. Some of the most characteristic elements of the gardens can be seen around the bust, including Candelabra Aloes, Stone Pines and Dragon Trees.

Picture from the official site of Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin (mirror site)
Eh Yo, CaptainJack! Hey everyone, this is CaptainJack (@CaptainJackSSB4) here!
Today, I'm going to talk about "The famed "Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin 1"". It's a shame no pictures are remaining from this event though, I'm very glad I can introduce this memorial 3 days tournament held in a ryokan (Japanese traditional hotel) to you.
So let's get started!
What is "Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin"?
Image of a venue, a ryokan (Japanese traditional hotel). Picture from Earth Home.
So let me start by explaing what it is actually.
Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin, so-called "Ren-off" (連オフ, ren-ofu, abbreviation of "Rengou off-kai" which means united offline meeting), is one of the most famous tournaments series held almost annually 4 times from March 2001 to March 2005 in Japan. Official website is here (it's a mirror site. Original one is not available anymore).
Its caracteristics
The caracteristics of this tournament series are as follows;
- 3 days event in a ryokan (Japanese traditional hotel)
- Held in a round-robin style
- Participation of remarkable players
Firstly, basically tournaments have always been held only in one day in Japan, so it was a totally new experience for us to stay in a ryokan for a Smash tournament, even 3 days in a row. Please remember that we were barely around 13-19 years old at that period, and even Internet was not common enough! So this trial widely attracted national Smash players' attention.
Secondly, it was a "provocative" attempt in a way for passionate players that this event was decided to be held in a round-robin style. Because since it is not a bracket and you need to play everybody, you cannot make ANY excuse on your results. No Johns, dude!
Lastly, this interesting attempt attracted many famous players. As a result, most of the notable players took part in the tournament, such as Keropi-, Pikirby, Pikacchi, Oikawa Meijin, Thunders, Prince, Bakutan and me, CaptainJack, except for Samus, Kotera and Tenbatsu Una-ju who couldn't make it for some reasons.
Even though the total number of participants 24 people might seem to be quite few for the players of today, thinking that it was kind of "Smash Summit" series that only the most motivated players in the nation participated at their own expense, I'm convinced that that amount was successful for us, for the player who know that era.
Notale Results
|21 wins, 2 losts
|Keropi- (けろぴー)
|21 wins, 2 losts
|Ryusei Kirby (流星カービィ)
|19 wins, 4 losts
|Pikacchi (ピカっち)
|19 wins, 4 losts
|Oikawa Meijin (及川浩一)
|16 wins, 3 losts
|Purin Saikyo Densetsu (プリン最強伝説)
|16 wins, 7 losts
|Thunders (サンダース)
|15 wins, 7 losts
|Prince (プリンス)
|14 wins, 7 losts
|14 wins, 8 losts
|C. Falcon
|Bakutan (ばくたん)
|13 wins, 10 losts
|Hyoga (氷牙)
|12 wins, 9 losts
24 participants in total, I picked up top 11th. View Full Results and Pool (in Japanese).
As a result, I could take the 1st place together with Keropi-, whom I thought was the best player in the game at that time. It was a true honor for me to have taken the 1st place at this historical event.
I have also wanted to see what it would have looked like if Kotera, Samus, and Tenbatsu Una-ju could participate. But ifs are ifs.
To be honest, it was an upset somohow, the fact that the two official Smash master of Nintendo - Oikawa Meijin and Bakutan - couldn't make an unbeatable records. After these results, other top players including myself, could finally think that we can do it, that we are really strong in this game, even if we haven't awarded anything officially from Nintendo.
So since the tournament has been ridiculously well carried out, we were all very happy of our success. Just after finishing the whole event, we must have started to think about the next year, Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin 2, in Melee! And it had been a reality. :) As this round-robin was so successfull, the series continued 3 times more again, as I mentioned in the beginning.
To answer your expectation, I'm finally moving on to Melee's topics from the next entry. Let's see Melee's history together, just don't miss it!
- The tournament held "with items". It makes us feel that time has changed since then.
- The ryokan kindly prepared a dozen of CRTs for this tournament exclusively.
So the history will continue with our beloved game, Super Smash Bros. Melee.

INSIDE-OUT: Tony Bedard on "Batman and the Outsiders"
|"Batman and the Outsiders" #1 on sale October 17
Fear not Supes and Diana, the Dark Knight will still be answering roll call at Justice League meetings — despite the fact he'll be leading his own team starting in October, in the pages of the re-launched "Batman and the Outsiders."
As series writer Tony Bedard told CBR News, Batman is set to pull double duty for the foreseeable future, sharing the spotlight with DC Comics' heavy hitters for some plum assignments and getting his hands dirty on some others. "He's staying on the Justice League and he's secretly running the Outsiders," explained Bedard, who is himself pulling multiple duties these days as the writer of "Countdown," "Birds of Prey" and "Supergirl."
"In fact, the Outsiders are designed specifically to carry out the missions that are too politically sensitive or morally ambiguous for the JLA to do," Bedard continued. "Imagine if the JLA was the U.S. Army and we pinpointed Bin Laden in Western Pakistan. We couldn't send in the Army because it would probably touch off a new war and topple the friendly Pakistani regime, but if we secretly had a team of 'outlaws' to send in, then we could get Bin Laden and still have plausible deniability."
|The original 1980s "Batman and the Outsiders"
The solicitation for "Batman and the Outsiders" #1 appears to reveal the roster for the latest incarnation of the team that made its debut in 1983's "Brave and the Bold" #200, but Bedard advises fans to hold on a minute and cool their bat-jets.
"It would seem that Batman has assembled Martian Manhunter, Katana, Metamorpho, Grace, Thunder, Aquaman and Catwoman, wouldn't it?" Bedard teased. "But it's not quite as simple as that, and you'll have to see how it plays out in 'Outsiders: Five of a Kind' and 'Outsiders' #50 to see what I mean."
"Outsiders: Five of a Kind" is a five-issue, weekly miniseries running throughout August that will feature a different team-up each week. The adventures in these books are expected to depict the method by which Batman will choose his new lineup, selecting a new member each week.
|"Outsiders" #50, concluding the current series September 5
As for the existing "Outsiders" ongoing series, Judd Winick's run ended earlier this month at #49, and Bedard will be writing the final issue, #50.
Bedard said in terms of both roster and title, this new Outsiders series is not simply a case of change for the sake of change. "I got to do some picking of the roster, but a lot of the existing characters already made sense for the team," explained Bedard. "If I had wanted a completely different lineup, I could've gotten it, but there's a rhyme and reason to this group. There are a lot of characters I love and they may make appearances in upcoming issues, but the team I have is the team I want."
There is no one Bedard wanted on his team more than its leader, the Dark Knight. "[Each hero] has their allure, but Batman is the greatest comic hero ever invented, and it's a thrill to handle him," Bedard confessed. "I have a longstanding affection for J'onn J'onzz from my days reading 'Justice League International' and editing 'JLA.' And I have always been an Aquaman fan. I like this new Aquaman. I know there's a sort of Hal Jordan/Kyle Rayner thing going on with young Artie, but despite all the Rayner-haters, Kyle turned out to be a terrific character and one of my faves from Grant [Morrison's] 'JLA' run. That's what I see in the long run for our sword-swinging sea king."

While it may be true that Bats has been running with Aquaman and J'onn J'Onzz since his original Justice League days in the 1960s, Bedard reminds readers that both characters have gone through some major changes since then, and past JLA history won't figure prominently in "Batman and the Outsiders."
"Batman's personal history with Martian Manhunter, Katana, Metamorpho and Catwoman will play out in very different ways as each member of the team develops their own view on what the Outsiders should really be accomplishing," explained Bedard.
While not a direct spin-off of "Countdown," Batman does assemble this version of the Outsiders due to the storyline surrounding the missing-in-action status of some of the world's most wanted criminal minds, as depicted in that weekly. "It's happening in the here and now as the world is more distrustful than ever of costumed adventurers and metahumans," Bedard said. "In fact, the team is gathered in response to recent disappearances of super-villains around the globe, and Batman's opposition to the forces behind these disappearances."
|"Outsiders: Five of a Kind" Week 3, Week 4
Bedard, who confessed he didn't follow the popular "Batman and the Outsiders" title in the 1980s – even despite the fact two of his all-time favorite artists, Alan Davis and Paul Pelletier, worked on it– hopes to enjoy a long stay on 2007's "Batman and the Outsiders." "I hope it is successful enough that I'm still doing it five years from now," said Bedard. "But we'll take this one issue at a time."
One reason Bedard hopes to stick with the book long-term is the opportunity to work regularly with rising star artist Koi Turnbull and legendary inker Art Thibert. "Koi brings incredible energy to every page, so even a 'talking heads' scene is dynamic and visually interesting," said Bedard. "And Koi's characters are very expressive and endearing. He excels at the light and funny moments when you really fall in love with a character.
|"Outsiders: Five of a Kind" Week 5
"Art Thibert is a legendary inker, one of the top ten I'd want to work with from throughout the history of comics," Bedard gushed. "His own drawing ability can elevate any penciller's game, and he also has the good judgment never to overpower someone's unique style. We're very lucky to be working with him."
A DC-exclusive writer, Bedard joked that one project he needs to work on is getting some more sleep, and highlighted a few other titles he has coming in the months ahead, including yet another response to the Bat-Signal. "I have an upcoming four-part 'Batman Confidential' story with Rags Morales and Mark Farmer that I'm already looking on as a personal creative high-point," Bedard said. "Rags is knocking it out of the park, and I can't wait for it to hit the stands.
"I'm also doing a run on 'Legion of Super-Heroes' with the astonishing Dennis Calero."

MediaWorks Radio is replacing Solid Gold with a new nationwide broadcast station called The Sound come January 1.
The Sound will target 35 – 59 year old men with a timeless rock playlist from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac to Queen, The Eagles to David Bowie and U2 – all the music from the audience's most formative years, according to Andrew Szusterman, group programming director MediaWorks Radio.
He said The Sound would incorporate less talk and more of the best music of a generation.
"While The Sound is a completely new radio station – from the music to the presentation, style and content – we will deliver a better product than we did with Solid Gold for this demographic.
"The music format of The Sound fills a gap in the market which appeared when both Hauraki and Classic Hits changed their formats to include a substantial amount of new and current music. The listeners who want primarily older music are no longer being catered for, with Classic Hits more interested in Lady Gaga than Radio Gaga and Hauraki playing more Creed than Creedence."
The music has been hand-picked and placed, including album tracks lifted from the vinyl of some of the biggest classic albums including Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Hotel California from The Eagles.
The Sound breakfast show will be hosted by Mark McCarron and Geoff Bryan, both huge fans of the music. The show will be music-focused with news and information every 20 minutes.
Paul Hancox, director of national sales for MediaWorks Radio, said: "With the addition of The Sound to our strong stable of music brands, including The Rock, MORE FM and The Breeze, we will be able to deliver an even stronger 25+ year old audience combo for our clients. With a portfolio that now stands shoulder-to-shoulder, we can offer a one-stop-shop solution for our clients wanting to reach an influential target audience."
The Sound will offer clients the opportunity to have commercials played in any of 24 local markets or nationwide and can extend campaigns further with integrated sponsorships, website activity and promotions.

Remember the casual abandon you displayed with your clothing back in your teen-age years? Chances are you didn't own an overcoat yet, so you probably slipped your trusty ski parka over your suit or sport coat and then, when you got to your destination, quickly took it off and stashed it away before anyone could notice. And don't forget those lug-soled shoes you wore with everything, including dress pants.
Today, with the sporty look acceptable for even dressy occasions, you can take a certain comfort in the fact that what may have seemed inappropriate in your youthful years has become downright fashionable today.
In a scramble for newness, designers have added a subtle twist to menswear this fall by combining unexpected elements in a more casual mode. The stodgy sameness of menswear past has loosened its grip. Traditional fabrics in softer weights and more relaxed tailored shapes have given men's clothing a less molded effect.

Qualifications for computer training programs may vary widely. Learn about computer programming specializations, such as website design, software development, and database administration. If you complete the data communications program, for example, it's possible to combine related fields of study such as WiFi network administration, wireless LAN internet access, or network architecture. The Cisco certified network associate (CCNA certificate) data communications concentration is a Cisco certification program appropriate for entry-level, network administrators that teaches how to manage internet access, and ensure computer network integrity. CCNA certification is valid for three years, after which time candidates need to renew their qualifications to troubleshoot, configure and operate medium-level switched and routed networks. This may also include verification and implementation of data communications software via remote internet access using either WAN or WiFi networks.
Cisco certified network architects usually need at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, or a related field. Degree programs in a computer-related field give network architects hands-on, laboratory work in classes such as network security or data communications. According to the US Department of Labor, the average salary increase after a Cisco certification program is around 20%, and the median annual wage for certified network and computer systems administrators was $77,810 as of May 2015. Projected employment is expected to grow almost 10% over the next decade, driven by investments in new mobile network technology.

I read with apprehension about Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club getting involved in online gambling ("Legal online betting could kick off next June"; Wednesday).
On the one hand, the authorities are implementing a ban on online gambling, on the other , they are going to promote it.
It's like a parent telling a child not to smoke while holding on to a lit cigarette. There isn't any moral authority on the part of the parent.
Singapore already has many gambling facilities, including two casinos, horse racing and not to mention, many conveniently located 4D and Toto outlets spread across every neighbourhood.
We must not make gambling more convenient or easily accessible to people, especially the younger ones.
Many families are struggling with having a breadwinner addicted to gambling. Sometimes, they go without food, and children are unable to pay school fees and have to drop out of school to help feed the family.
Many of these gamblers also owe thousands of dollars to friends, relatives, banks and moneylenders.
Some resort to crime or suicide as an option.
Some lose their homes and, as a result, their children are being moved from place to place, including public parks and beaches.
This creates a vicious circle of homelessness, crime and various addictions.
In a nutshell, online gambling does more harm than good.
Let us forgo the potential earnings for the sake of our nation's future.
The social cost is going to be very high for future generations.
Let the people of Singapore be proud of their government this SG50 year, knowing that the future of our nation is in good hands.

March 16, 2010 (CHICAGO) --A man Chicago police say has been arrested more than 150 times is now charged in connection with an incident on the CTA Red Line.
Keith Anderson is charged with felony attempted robbery and battery. Police say he grabbed a woman by her clothing and tried to steal her briefcase as a Red Line train stopped at Division Street last night.
Police say the woman was able to run away and press an emergency button on the platform to call for help.
Anderson was arrested near the scene and later identified by the victim.

Veranda – Cillie Barnes (RAC Mix)
As far as I'm concerned, pretty much everything RAC touches turns into gold. I am always particularly struck by the organic quality of his mixes – how he manages almost always to avoid the tinny, digital sound that plagues so many others. His feels like a sound that will last. This track is no exception. Download on Soundcloud.

A recently laid off loser of a man (Zack Ward) teams up with his cult-leading Uncle Dave (Foley) to steal ballsack-shaped Krotchy dolls from a local amusement park to sell on eBay to make some cash. Coincidentally, the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden want to do the same thing, except replace the part about 'selling the dolls on eBay' with 'lace them with biological chemical agents and then sell them'. Uwe Boll and George Bush show up (the former wearing lederhosen), bullets fly, and videogame fans wait with baited breath as to what kind of sh*tstorm Boll has cooked up.
Alright, before I get mass emails (yeah, right) from video game fans wanting Uwe Boll to die in a fire, let it be known that I too have been a fan of videogames for many years (come on, I reviewed them on this site), and I absolutely hated what Boll had done with his previous videogame-to-film efforts. That said, the man is obviously a real-life internet troll who wants nothing more than to push videogame fans' buttons 'for the lulz', and will eventually have to do something else before folks cease to care.
Enter POSTAL, which despite the title, has little to do with the original game it was based on, save for a few references here and there. Instead of going the action-horror route, this time Boll figured he'd go balls out with an action-comedy, emphasizing as much South Park-type humour as possible, and offending as many people as possible. The question is, is all this offensiveness funny? In short, not really.
Despite a sort-of-funny beginning with two of the Taliban discussing the topic of how many virgins they get (or don't get) if they become martyrs, and a spot where the aftermath of a shooting rampage has a hundred dead kids lying around and a reporter complaining that they're heavy to move, the rest of the film tries too hard and spirals downward into aping a South Park episode, which isn't so much flattering as it is annoying (just for the record, I haven't enjoyed South Park since they decided to do all of their 'satire'). Acting wise, while I give Zack Ward credit for keeping a straight face (and his sanity) through the film, everyone else comes off as boring or just plain awful. I will give Boll credit for picking some hot ladies for the eye candy, but even that can't save POSTAL.
In fact, some of the 'jokes' in the film wouldn't make any intelligent person laugh, and some are downright tasteless. I realize that some of these are supposed to be tongue in cheek and satirical, but having Dave Foley doing a full frontal for over a minute (including taking a dump and not wiping) isn't satire or funny (at least to me), and the same with the 'George Bush/Bin Laden skipping while holding hands' scene. They're not clever, and they serve no purpose other than entertaining people who really don't know what humour is (really, the former shows just how far Foley's career has fallen since Kids In The Hall). The same goes for the scene involving a corrupt cop using a brain-damaged paraplegic's pandering for donations as a way to get some quick money, or the Holocaust jokes during the Little Germany scene.
I know that this might seem ironic coming from a guy who loved SUPER TROOPERS, but at least the Broken Lizard crew put some thought into what they were doing, unlike Boll, who seems to have half-heartedly tried to make something resembling a comedy (complete with a rip-off scene of morality a la South Park), but promptly screwed it up with brain-dead humour. Actually, I take that back. Boll basically tried to make his own version of a mash-up of a Jason Friedberg/Aaron Seltzer film and a Troma film and succeeded, in that he made a film resorting to lame gags and unfunny jokes to pass the time.
Oh, there's stuff to offend for those who get off on that sort of thing, but I'm guessing your definition of 'funny' isn't consistent with someone who lost a family member in 9/11 or the Nazi prison camps. POSTAL is probably watchable if you're loaded, but you'd have to be close to passing out to get to that point. At which point, you'll probably be wanting to pass out.
Video: One word (actually two) comes to mind upon seeing the 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer: interlacing errors. The video is full of 'em. Granted, it might be the promo copy I received, but it's ridiculous how much of it there is. Edge enhancement also crops up, but it's nowhere near as distracting. As for colour, everything's consistent, though not very vibrant, and feels kind of flat.
Audio: Consisting of a Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track, guess which one you'll be picking? It doesn't really matter which one you pick, as they both sound pretty much the same, thanks to a shortage of directional and multi-channel effects. From explosions to gunfire, everything that's supposed to be loud is appropriately, uh, loud (probably to compensate for the lack of directionals).
Double your pleasure, double your pain. The Unrated version of POSTAL comes with two discs of 'fun'.
First up is commentary with director Uwe Boll, and for a guy who talks non-stop, he's actually quite informative at first, that is until he gets going on a tangent about POSTAL being his 'personal revenge' on Hollywood, the fans, the haters, the world (?!) etc. for treating him like crap (gee, I wonder why?). After that, the commentary drifts between informative and his rants about stuff like how POSTAL is full of 'courage' for not pussying out to the censors or something. Overall, the commentary would be better if he kept it straight and not used it to take pot shots.
Next up is a sort of behind-the-scenes featurette entitled A Day In Little Germany: On The Set Of Postal. Running just over 9 minutes, this is below EPK, showing various shots of the Little Germany set with oompah music playing over the actual audio from the set. No real information, just mugging and tasteless attempts at humour.
Following that is probably the most worthwhile extra, Raging Boll: The Director Boxes His Critics. For those who don't know (or recall), Boll decided to box some of his more vocal critics 'for charity', as well as use the footage in the film (though it's nowhere to be found in the film). Boll's first opponent was Richard 'Lowtax' Kyanka of SomethingAwful.com, who got his ass handed to him by Boll (and rightfully so, considering how unfunny SomethingAwful.com is for a humour website). After Lowtax was Jeff Sneider of Ain't It Cool News, who fared somewhat better, but Boll still managed to own the match (no matter how much running around the ring Jeff did). Chris Alexander of Rue Morgue fared the best out of the bunch, as he lasted the longest and actually made Boll break a sweat. Chance Mintner, a '17 year-old web site critic', received the worst beating and never really landed a punch.
Last up on the first disc is a Verne Troyer Clip, with Verne calling out Harrison Ford and the latest INDIANA JONES film, saying POSTAL is the superior film (which is about as funny as chewing tinfoil, and just as painful), and the film's theatrical trailer.
The second disc contains the full version of POSTAL 2 for the PC, which is okay, if only just to kill Gary Coleman with a rotting cow's head (seriously) or piss on the bodies of dead terrorists.
As far as this film goes (and from what I've seen of his other work), POSTAL is probably the best of Boll's career, but that's not saying much. Instead of being offensive in an unintentionally hilarious sense, Boll has decided to go the high road and offend folks in an unintentionally unfunny sense. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for it, but if you think jokes about the Holocaust and 9/11 are funny, you might find some enjoyment in this. Other people will shake their heads in wonder and disbelief at how Boll keeps doing this.

Estimate kilocalorie and protein requirements of an enteral feeding candidate and design an enteral nutrition (EN) regimen to meet these. Evaluate patient-specific parameters to determine whether EN is appropriate. Compare clinical efficacy, complications, and costs of EN versus parenteral nutrition (PN). Formulate a monitoring plan for an EN patient. Select appropriate medication administration techniques for an EN patient. ++ INTRODUCTION ++ Enteral nutrition (EN) is broadly defined as delivery of nutrients via the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The terms enteral nutrition and tube feedings are often used synonymously. Formulas for EN usually are delivered in the form of commercially prepared liquid preparations, although some products are produced as powders for reconstitution. Nonvolitional feedings in patients who cannot meet nutritional requirements by oral intake include EN and parenteral nutrition (PN), which are collectively known as specialized nutrition support (SNS). ++ Several organizations have issued clinical guidelines on the use of EN. These include the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.), European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), and a Canadian team known as Critical Care Nutrition.1,2,3,4 A.S.P.E.N. and the Society for Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) have jointly issued guidelines for SNS in critically ill patients.5 ++ GI TRACT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION ++ Anatomy and Absorptive Function ++ With normal volitional feeding, food is ingested via the mouth. There, the process of breaking down complex foodstuffs into simpler forms that can be absorbed by the small bowel begins. Solid food is chewed in the mouth, and enzymes begin digestion. The trigger for release of many enzymes and GI hormones is the presence of food in specific regions of the GI tract. Food is swallowed and passes through the esophagus and the esophageal sphincter to the stomach, where additional digestive enzymes and acids further break it down. The stomach also serves a mixing and grinding function. ++ The food, now in a liquid form known as chyme, passes through the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum, where stomach acid is neutralized. Most absorption of digested carbohydrate and protein occurs within the jejunum. Most fat absorption occurs within the jejunum and ileum. In the small bowel, breakdown of macronutrients (ie, carbohydrate, protein, and fat) occurs both within the lumen and at the intestinal mucosal membrane surface. The absorptive units on the intestinal mucosal membrane are infoldings known as villi. These villi are made up of epithelial cells called enterocytes. Projections from these enterocytes called microvilli increase the surface area of the small bowel and make up the brush-border membrane. ++ Digestive substances secreted by the pancreas play a role in food breakdown.
