Art students design for the real (JMU) world
By Chris Edwards
THE TASK: Creating beautiful, sustainable, practical designs for three small campus sites. (To select these, says Institute for Visual Studies director David Ehrenpreis, "We went to Facilities Management and asked, 'What areas are you trying to figure out what to do with?'")
THE PERFORMERS: Student teams in Ronn Daniel's and Dawn Hachenski McCusker's Fall 2009 Environmental Design class.
ONE TEAM'S ANSWER: "Alluvial Gardens."
Seniors Phillip Gockel, Brittany Lyn Boveri and Emilia Randler, art majors in graphic design, designed their project for the small, uneven area bounded by athletic courts, a parking lot, railroad tracks below Duke Drive, and Black's Run below Hillcrest. It lacks pathways, but gets foot traffic … and sometimes, flooding.
Classmates' groups designed other projects for that area, as well as the Memorial Hall entrance and Bruce Street parking lot.
They each received "crits" during two visits from internationally noted artist/architect Michael Singer, IVS Fellow and project "catalyst," says Ehrenpreis. Environmental Design was one of a series of multidisciplinary classes held by IVS, each focusing beyond the classroom and culminating in public displays.
Students received critiques on their project work from internationally noted artist/architect Michael Singer, (l to r) Phillip Gockel, Michael Singer, Emilia Randler.
Alluvial Gardens features a walkway, garden area and stone terraces with raised sections for sitting. Spacing is intentionally uneven, says Randler. Gockel notes it directs water into Black's Run, away from nearby Mr. Chips. Considering varieties of both weather and color, Randler says Bovieri selected "hardy little plants" — butterfly bushes and sedum.
Facilities Management staff, including John Ventura and stormwater coordinator Abe Kauffman, stipulated needs and "kind of grounded the project," says Randler.
Now, in an independent study, the three designers are fine-tuning technical details, plus a budget. "We want to keep it affordable," says Randler.
In addition to sketches, their process booklet includes photos of the project temporarily mapped in blue tape across the ISAT building hallway, providing a feel for scale.
In visualizing ideas for their high-traffic area, the students cite inspiration from Singer's adaptations of designs to surroundings. Singer also made practical suggestions, such as acid treatment to encourage moss growth on cement, Randler said. Gockel added they considered permeable concrete until Singer warned it might not last well. So, "We used more of a channel system to redirect the water."
Each group presented, received feedback on, and revised its project, which was then shared again with Singer and exhibited in the IVS gallery. Last, the groups worked with environmental rhetoric students from the Institute for Stewardship of the Natural World (their projects' "client"), says Daniel. The projects became part of an environmental stewardship powerpoint, which the IVS and ISNW classes collaborated in presenting to officials including President Linwood Rose.
Projects became part of an environmental stewardship presentation to university officials including President Linwood Rose, (l to r) Phillip Gockel, David Ehrenpreis, Dr. Linwood Rose, Brittany Lyn Boveri.
Although students often consult each other, McCusker said, "to actually have to rely on each other for the success of the whole project was a difficult challenge," which students "met with pure professionalism."
Ehrenpreis said. "We raised the bar, and they went right over it."
Singer, who found their work "beyond my experience" of undergraduates, agrees: "Team interaction was the most challenging aspect." In the real world, he adds, "Autonomy is usually an earned position," and collaborative skill, a helpful asset.
He adds, "Each of the projects presented are at a 'conceptual design' level. If the class was a full year, I believe it would be beneficial for the students to further explore and develop their designs" — a suggestion the independent study is following.
Gockel hopes for a graphic design career. Randler, also interested in landscape architecture, hopes for further education or a design-related internship.
Employment as graphic designers for University Union, says Gockel, has shown them "The client-designer interaction can be frustrating, but most of the time it's a positive experience."

The Presidential Oversight Committee (POC) of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) today vacated participation by the University of Southern California (USC) in the 2005 Orange Bowl and the 2006 Rose Bowl, and also vacated USC's BCS national championship for the 2004-05 season, following a May 26 announcement by the NCAA that it had denied USC's appeal of sanctions imposed last year. As a result of the POCs decision, there will be no BCS national champion for the 2004-05 season.
"The BCS arrangement crowns a national champion, and the BCS games are showcase events for post-season football," said BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock. "One of the best ways of ensuring that they remain so is for us to foster full compliance with NCAA rules. Accordingly, in keeping with the NCAA's recent action, USC's appearances are being vacated.
"This action reflects the scope of the BCS arrangement and is consistent with the NCAA's approach when it subsequently discovers infractions by institutions whose teams have played in NCAA championship events."

Amy Heckerling has made some serious classic films in her career namely Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless. She was in NY this past weekend screening Clueless and her new film Vamps at the Lena Dunham curated program at BAM, Hey Girlfriend. Vamps is about vampires living in contemporary NYC starring Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter.
Women and Hollywood: You started directing in 1982 when there were just a handful on women directors. What was it like then?
Amy Heckerling: There were actually a handful of women working before me – I call them the Joanses. There was Joan Rivers, Joan Tewkesbury who did a movie called Old Boyfriends and Joan Micklin Silver. And then of course there was my buddy Claudia (Weill) who I loved.
WaH: What is it in you that made you want to direct?
AH: I love movies to death. I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies and as soon as I was able to get a subway pass when I was 14 I joined the Museum of Modern Art and was there all weekend watching old movies.
WaH: How did you come to make Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
AH: I had a student film that I made at AFI and Art Linson saw it and Thom Mount and Sean Daniels at Universal saw it too. I had a project I was writing and Art Linson showed me the script and asked what I thought of it and I gave him some notes and then he asked if I wanted to do it. And I was like Whoa.
WaH: And now it's 30 years old. What is it like to make a movie that has had such a long life and is still well known?
AH: That's very weird to me. Sometimes people say oh you did one of my favorite movies and I will ask them what the other one is and it's always something that I totally hate. I say it can't be you have to see Tokyo Story, Citizen Kane, Metropolis, Umberto D.
WaH: You dealt with so many issues in that movie around sexuality and specifically abortion that we never see in the movies anymore.
AH: It's so stupid. When I watch it with other people they say wow you couldn't do that now, wow you couldn't do that now.
WaH: What things can't we do now?
AH: The fact that they were under 18 and they're having sex and you are seeing it. Not to say that that isn't exploited in a lot of the cop shows, but to have that be just regular part of a girl's life. The disconnect between what's going on in schools and what's allowed to be shown in movies has gotten really bad because girls in junior high are having oral sex and getting bracelets for it, and in movies everybody's got to be 30 years old to have sex. It's very bizarre. At that little sliver of time I was allowed to do something — even with a lot of fighting — but actually was actually allowed to show something about a real teenagers life.
WaH: I next want to talk about Clueless. That is a film that has resonated and lasted. Why do you think that one has endured?
AH: I'm not the one who can explain that. I don't know.
WaH: What was it that made it special for you?
AH: It was probably the most fun I've had writing because once I got into that head I just enjoyed living there.
WaH: What one thng can you point that has changed in the business that you are surprised about?
AH: What bothers me is not how it changed since I got in, what bothers me is how it changed before I got in. For my money the movies of the 70s were just amazing. People were making movies like A Clockwork Orange and Mean Streets and now there is a lot of science fiction and there is a big gap between the little movies that are so small and deal with tiny things and then the big splashy tent pole outer space stuff. A move about 4 knuckleheads in the neighborhood who get into trouble with gambling with the cool music and the great actors like Mean Streets, and A Clockwork Orange which I guess you could call science fiction but it is so smart, stylish and sexy. That kind of stuff I don't think anybody is allowed make right now.
WaH: I am a huge fan of I Could Never Be Your Woman and I know it was a terrible experience since it never got released in theatres Can you talk about that?
AH: What happened with that I don't even understand it. When I would say to people where is this money coming from, they would say, you don't want to know. I asked Is it being used to kill Jews in Israel? Is it guns? They would reply you don't want to know.
WaH: Are you referring to the producers who were raising money for your movie?
AH: One guy in particular [whom she never named] apparently, I still don't know, he announced that he raised a 100 million fund and making all these movies. As we were making it things kept getting taken away and you are going huh what happened $100 million. My movie wasn't $100 million but the budget that we had that we counted on when we started planing was in constant flux and there were people calling up and saying we're not going to get distributed unless you talk to Michelle Pfeiffer and tell her to change her deal. I said I'm not going to do that. Michelle did this out of love and fought for a long time to get it made and didn't get what she deserved as a salary and now you are telling me that I should tell her that everything is her fault. I don't know what was going on.
The company went under and I'm not a thousand percent sure of what happened but this guy had sold off — to make other movies — our foreign distribution. He wanted to be considered the next Harvey Weinstein. He made a deal with Harvey and Harvey got th DVD rights. I don't even know if he got any money for that or if he was just hoping to start some partnership with him. Meanwhile when we would go to the studios and distributors and show them the movie and ask them what they thought they would say yeah and then they would find out that they wouldn't be getting any foreign or any DVD rights. So it was not worth putting in the money you would need to advertise. Meanwhile I was taking care of my parents. My father was vey ill and my mother had cancer and every day my father would ask when is the movie coming out. It was a really miserable time. I don't know what I could have done. I was not in the loop of the deals this guy is making behind my back.
WaH: You have to trust the people you work with.
AH: Theoretically. If there is a lesson to be learned I don't know how I could have done anything differently.
WaH: How did Vamps come about?
AH: I met Lauren Versel a producer who had just won the Tribeca Film Festival with City Island and I was telling her I was writing this thing and she said if you can make it for $10 million I can get that. I was like ok. Anything could be made for any amount. So I showed it to her and she really liked it.
WaH: How was it like working with Alicia Silverstone again?
AH: I love Alicia she is the greatest girl in the universe.
WaH: When I was watching your film I felt like I was watching her character Cher in Clueless again. Was that intentional?
AH: She is Alicia and I've been watching Clueless a lot because I am working on the musical and I appreciate her more and more.
WaH: Clueless the musical for Broadway?
AH: We're working on it as sort of a jukebox musical and Kristin Hanggi who did Rock of Ages is directing. It's so much fun.
WaH: Is the trust you have with Lauren at a different level – do you feel confident that this film will get distribution?
AH: It will with a limited release. It is a small movie. There has been a recession and it's a whole new world.
WaH: It seems timely with the vampire theme.
AH: I love the cast. Wally Shawn is great. Sigourney Weaver and Malcolm MacDowell are so fun and Krystin Ritter and Dan Stevens from Downton Abbey.
WaH: Do you have any advice that you could offer people?
AH: I have no clue. I wish somebody would give me advice.
WaH: What was the most challenging thing in making Vamps?
AH: Doing it on tight budget. Trying to make a movie that would have a certain look and effects and still not feel like a little movie.
WaH: Do you feel like it is important for directors to write their own projects as a way to direct?
AH: I don't know how a person gets to direct now because it is a whole new world with getting things out online. People find their voice. It's very different from when I was a kid when you went to film school, made your short and then you tried to get it to people.
WaH: Do you have any comment on the fact that only 5% of movies are directed by women?
AH: It's a disgusting industry. I don't know what else to say. Especially now. I can't stomach most of the movies about women. I just saw a movie last night. I don't want to say the name – but again with the fucking wedding and the only time women say anything is about men.
There is no release date yet for the film.

When replacing a lens there are some considerations to take into account.
Many of Axis network cameras offer an exchangeable lens and it is important to select a lens suitable for the camera. If a lens is made for a smaller image sensor than the one that is actually fitted inside the camera, the image will have black corners. While, if a lens is made for a larger image sensor than the one that is actually fitted inside the camera, the field of view will be smaller than the lens' capability since part of the information will be "lost" outside the image sensor.
When changing a lens, it is also important to know what type of lens mount the network camera has. There are three main standards used on network cameras:
- CS mount
- M12 mount
- C mount
Every lens is also identified with the f-number, which defines how much light can pass through a lens. The smaller the f-number the better the lens' light gathering ability. In low-light situations, a smaller f-number generally produces a better image quality. A higher f-number, on the other hand, increases the depth of field.
An iris is used to maintain the optimum light level to the image sensor so that images can be sharp, clear and correctly exposed with good contrast and resolution. If the network camera has been designed with an iris control, the lens needs also to match the same specification.
IR-corrected lenses are very beneficial for cameras that support removable infrared-cut filter. Day/night cameras automatically remove an IR-cut filter in lowlight conditions to take advantage of invisible, near-infrared light.

|Powered by QM on a Linux server
Ambulance Control Software
This software package was developed by Ladybridge Systems, initially for St John Ambulance Northamptonshire. It is now widely used by St John, the British Red Cross and many private ambulance companies. We also have users in the Australia and the United States.
Please note that ownership of this application was not transfered to Zumasys when they acquired rights to the OpenQM database software on 1 January 2019. All queries relating to this application should continue to be directed to Ladybridge Systems.
This brief description can only scratch the surface of what this system offers. Please let us know if you would like a demonstration.
The system was developed for use at large events and in the case of major incident call out. It enables multiple controllers to track the availability of resources and to dispatch these in an appropriate manner to handle incoming calls. The system maintains permanent historic records locally and also on a central master database to which data is periodically exported.
Design Goals
The system uses a client-server architecture. The server system runs the database and the client systems provide the user interface for controllers. Both run on any current version of Windows. Typically, one client is also the server system. There is no practical limit to the number of client systems that can be connected. The client displays are automatically updated as things change.
The underlying database is our OpenQM multivalue product which provides fast and secure storage of a virtually unlimited volume of data. The multivalue data model ensures that the system is very easy to extend as new requirements emerge. QM is a very stable commercial grade database and the application software is designed to be restartable without loss of data if the system crashes, for example in the event of a power failure.
The user interface deliberately uses a minimal set of Windows operations so that users who are not Windows whizz-kids can use it without having to get to grips with drag and drop, multiple selections, clever keyboard shortcuts, etc.
Screen Samples
There are many screens. These samples show just a few.....
The main screen is shown below. The upper half displays the status of all available resources (For St John Ambulance readers, this screen is from a training session so don't read too much into who is where!). These are colour coded according to their current status and are divided into classes so that the screen can be set out in various ways and multiple controllers can have different views of the world or a single controller can pan across many classes. In this example, based on the British Grand Prix, the crowd cover ambulances and first aid units are in the left column and the track cover ambulances are in the right column.
In this sample, the lower half of the screen shows details for an active call. At other times it shows a list of active and recent calls.
Typing is kept to a minimum. A new call necessarily requires the call details to be entered but even this can use a speed-type system to perform automatic expansion of short forms personal to the individual controller. Most actions require only two mouse clicks; one to open the pop-up menu for the unit, the other to select the action (on scene, clear, sign-off, etc, etc). When a vehicle leaves the scene or moves to a standby location, a pick list of standard locations relevant to the event is displayed so that this also usually only requires a mouse click.
The system holds a map of the event which is typically scanned in but can come from various sources. Our skeleton Silverstone map came off the web.
The system can superimpose an arbitrary grid onto this map (for historic reasons, the Silverstone grid has no P in its letters!). Resources are displayed on the map according to their status and last known location, derived automatically from the pick list described above, or entered manually or by clicking on the map for non-standard locations. Again, multiple map pages can be set up to display different classes of unit for each controller or a single controller can pan through map pages.
The pop-up action menu for a unit can be selected by clicking on the unit on the map. This makes vehicle dispatch at a big event very easy. A simple mouse click on the map can also be used when entering a call to record its grid location in the system.
Data Tracking
The system tracks the names of ambulance crews and first aid patrols. This information is collected when a crew signs-on and is automatically recorded against any calls assigned to that unit so that those attending an incident can be identified at a later date. Every stage of a call is logged and a printed report can be produced automatically when the call is closed or manually at any time. This report contains a complete record of the response, the basic ASHICE report on leaving scene and a cross-reference to the patient report form(s).
A detailed log of all activity is maintained and can be viewed in its entirety, for a specific call or for a specific unit.
There are many reports available and new ones are usually simple to add.
Radio Traffic
The system has been designed to be used at the same time as operating the radio on a busy event. Ideally, a radio with a headset and footswitch should be used but most actions can be processed with one hand, leaving the other free to work the radio. The pop-up menu that appears when the mouse is clicked on a unit shows only the few actions that are valid based on the current state of the unit. This menu includes an "undo" option to backtrack if an action is accidentally applied, for example, to the wrong unit. It is usually possible to backtrack step by step through the entire day!
The pick lists of default standby locations and medical destinations are based on selection of a "scenario", a collection of information that describes a view of the event. There can be multiple scenarios covering aspects of the site or different controller requirements.
Creation and editing a scenario is a trivial task and is often something that is done as an event progresses, for example, to add an unanticipated new standby location to the list.
The Call Pool
A major design goal of this system is that calls are assigned a unique reference number. Without a wide area network linking different venues, this can only be implemented by each venue having a pool of numbers from which to assign calls. This is coordinated via the central master database.
Every controller signs on to the system with a personal id and password. Each user can further be allocated different levels of access. For example, a terminal could be placed in a major incident control centre. The user of this screen would be able to view the system and enter calls but not dispatch vehicles.
And the Rest!
There is much more to this system than can be described here. The best way to learn what it is about is to see it in action. Please contact us if you would like an evaluation copy.
Unlike most Windows software, this system does not require an enormously powerful PC. It was originally developed on a very low end system so that we knew it would run on almost anything. Version 2 requires a minimum of Windows XP, service pack 3.
The Bad News
Ah, yes. Unfortunately this system is not free, however, because of our special relationship with St John Ambulance, the price tag is ridiculously low by comparison to the normal price for quality bespoke software from a professional software development company. In fact, it is less than you would normally pay for the underlying database product alone! Don't write us off because there is money involved without talking to us first. This is a very cost effective product.
The system will continue to develop as its use expands. We are keen to add features of general interest but would expect to make a small charge for site specific developments. New versions will be downloadable by licensed users.
Please ask us to quote if it all looks interesting.
Current versions of the control software can be downloaded here. Right click on the Download link below and select Save As. Alternatively, we can supply this on CD on request for a small additional charge. The software will not operate without a valid authorisation code. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange an evaluation licence. This is NOT the same as a QM evaluation licence available elsewhere on this web site. You should NOT download and install QM separately as it is part of the download available from the links below.
NOTE: Version 2 requires a minimum of Windows XP, service pack 3.

Smart Metering
Smart Solutions Beyond Metering
Smart metering and smart grid systems have been devised at the end of the 20th century to allow for better control of the grid, better knowledge about utilities distribution from the core to the endpoints, and automation of provisioning and maintenance processes. Continuous communication capabilities and the need for intelligent monetization and demand management for utilities were not on the agenda in early smart grid concepts, and still are not supported well by numerous national regulators.
We believe that the capabilities and challenges of today and tomorrow require a monetization component and subsystem that is backed by experience in the billing and payment as well as in the utility industries.

|Photographer: Darren Robertson
When my husband came home early from his deployment to see his dying father back in April, he hardly looked at me and wasn't interested in me at all. He was so different. I chocked it up to grief and just tried to be supportive. Well, in hindsight, he was stricken with guilt because he had just committed infidelity.
So now, whenever he comes home from being away, it's like I return to that time and it enrages me. The last time he came home about a month ago, I couldn't control it and we ended up having a heated discussion about the affair for better part of the night. Not exactly what he had in mind when he came home, if you know what I mean.
As I go through the process of surviving infidelity, I feel myself progressing. Last night, I again had those same feelings but I was able to swallow them. They were there...I just chose not to fulfill the urge to fuel it. It was hard but in the end, the night was much more romantic and peaceful.
I would not recommend that anyone swallow their rage until they are ready to. It's taken a lot of yelling at him and processing of the affair to get to this point. I am also not saying that I have swallowed the rage forever. I will have my time again...it just shows some progress that I was actually able to control it this time.

- Web Design - 4.6% (I include this because I'm doing a website for a friend... it's something I choose to do, but it is part of my income this year.)
Suffice it to say that I'm renting a house in Wellesley, MA with a couple of room mates... I'm not starving, I can still eat sushi from time to time, and my car (neither a Pinto nor a Bentley) is paid off.So, he's making a living wage, but not raking it in, which is to be expected (and is certainly a hell of a lot better than many musicians). Now, of course, the other number that stands out above is the "subscription site" with the single largest percentage of his revenue. That would be his MatthewEbel.net site, where he offers a $5/month subscription offering. It actually looks quite a lot like the music business model I suggested back in 2003, so it's nice to see someone making it work directly. Basically, it's people paying for access to Matthew (he even admits that in the description, saying it's like a permanent "backstage pass"). While subscribers will get regular access to new music as soon as he creates it, the selling point is special invitations and access to the artist.
And, of course, Ebel seems to certainly recognize the CwF (connect with fans) part that has to go along with this RtB (reason to buy). In the interview, he discusses the importance of really connecting with those fans. First, he notes that one of the nice side effects of his "subscription" offering is that he promises fans two new songs and one live concert recording every month, and that keeps him top of mind:
Little did I realize that new releases every two weeks would be better than any good album reviews or press coverage. Giving my fans something new to talk about every two weeks meant exactly that: they talk about me every two weeks. They're not buying an album, raving about it, and losing interest after a few months, they're constantly spreading my name to their Twitter followers, coworkers, pets, etc. Regular delivery of quality material is damn near my one-step panacea for the whole industry.And, of course, he uses social media to connect as much as possible:
Good music is barely enough to get fans to hand out 99¢ anymore; they have to be emotionally invested in the artist if that artist wants their loyalty. Don't get me wrong, there can still be a "fourth wall" during a live concert or video, but real, meaningful connection with the fans is what keeps me in their heads after the show's over (heck, even your "character" can interact with fans in-character). I chat with my fans via Twitter, Facebook, matthewebel.com and matthewebel.net, and as many other channels as possible. The more I interact with them between performances, the more I stay fresh in their minds and the more inspiration I draw from them.Yet another musicians showing how CwF+RtB works. Now, I'm sure some will complain that this isn't a "real" success because he's not selling out stadiums or something (of course, those are the same people who would say that those selling out stadiums don't count because they can afford to do crazy experiments). But given how many musicians we're hearing about these days making exactly these types of things work to the point where they can make a living doing it, you have to begin to realize that something's working.

Seems like everyone has Hunger Games fever, including top designers! Calvin Klein and Jennifer Lawrence have made red carpet magic together in the past (Oscars 2011):
And again at a Hunger Games red carpet:
And now Calvin Klein is giving a nod to his muse by creating a "Katniss" dress:
The dress cost $5,000 (kinda pricey) and according to Net-a-Porter it's – "A key piece from the runway, this apricot silk-crepe dress is a fashion-forward take on the sweet palette. Give this cutout design a streamlined finish with a few gold accents and ankle-strap sandals." But let's face it, if we had Jennifer Lawrence's body, we'd spend that amount of money on dresses too!

You really can't.However,by stopping the running game,(which we should be able to do),that makes Warner one dimensional.When ANYONE puts the ball up in the air 30-50 times,thats where mistakes occur,INT's,sacks,et. It is said that the Cards are going to spread us out,which would enable Warner to be better able to pick up the outside blitzers,so the Second Thing to do to take away the pasing game is by blitzing up from the inside more often.Fitz will get his catches,but I don't think he will maje any big plays.

These super-duty 5-foot race shift cables are the highest quality available. They have rotary swaged ends with an eyelet on one end and a threaded stud on the other, with double jam nuts and internal locking washers for mounting. They're pre-lubed, have a 0.375" O.D. red "long lay" outer jacket for greater cable protection and have less than 0.015" backlash per foot, which means you'll get almost instantaneous gear engagement when shifting. These super-duty shift cables have up to 50% less backlash than some competitor's cable and the 5-foot length is what comes standard with all B&M race shifters.

Black Liqid Poop???
I have 2 male German Shepherd puppies (6 months old). They are both on a very strict BARF Diet and have been for some time now. They love the food and have thrived on it. My only concern is that they both are pooping what looks like back thick ink. The dogs seem to be ok physically and mentally so I have not gone to my vet yet. Several people have told me that the color is from the dogs ingesting blood from the food, which they do. But shouldn't there be some substance to the stools? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!
-Matt in Colorado
Can you tell us more about what you feed -- how much bone vs. meat, what kind of meat, is there anythign else that you add, etc.

I think a visit to the vet is needed. I know there are several members that feed raw diets, and I've never read anything about their pets pooping like that. If anything, it should be well formed and from what I understand should have very little odor.
There are only two rules at my house: House rule #1. Cats rule. House rule #2. See rule #1.
I am thinking maybe the OP is not feeding bone or enough bone.... some people think that raw feeding = raw meat. Lack of bone would lead to odd poo and deficiencies in nutrients.
Black thick ink sounds like poo that has old blood in it... A visit to a vet that understands raw feeding is a good idea.

"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person."
Tarry black stools are often a sign of bleeding in the upper digestive tract. Sometimes dogs can have allergic reactions to proteins--and it can cause inflammation and sloughing in the intestinal tract. So I think a visit to a vet would be a good idea, too, just to rule out certain things that could become serious problems in the future if left unaddressed.
I hope you can get the root of the problem soon, Bo and Spectre! Welcome to the board!

Funny you should ask....I just returned from the Vet for the exact same reason,
turns out my own prognosis was correct. After taking X rays we found that there were bone fragments still in the intestines that are a little too big to pass and they have caused some small punctures in the intestinal track.
The black tarry and runny poop which my own dog has been suffering from for the past few days is caused from the blood bleeding into the intestine.
Now he is on an antibiotic and another medication to stop any infection and help break down the bone still stuck in there.
Take your dogs to the Vet, ASAP!
I will feed only softer bones from now on and not until he is fully recovered.
Good luck!
Glad you got your pup checked, black poop is never something to fool around with.

My German Shepherd will get poop as you describe if I overdo it with the organ component of her meal, especially beef heart or liver. It took quite a few nights of black, liquid, stinky poop on the floor in the middle of the night to realize it was too rich for her to eat in large quantities. Since I dialed down the organ component a bit, she's been fine. That said, it can't hurt to have a checkup just in case.

Thank you to everyone who responded! We went to our vet today and she presribed extra fiber (Metamucil) and Panacur just to be extra protective. She gave them both fecal tests and they came back just fine as well. In regards to what I have been feeding them: a mix of raw chicken, pork, beef, fish, and organs, always with the bones included. I never remove the bones and I would say that 90% of what they get has bones in it. I have not been mixing in any other supplements, veggies, or fruits. From all of the literature I have read I have gotten mixed takes on whether or not to add these additional items. Any opinions? Thanks for all of the input!
We don't mix in any veggies or fruit, although he does get it as a treat once in a while (apple, green/red peppers, pineapple, etc.)
We feed whole chicken/turkey parts (chicken quarters, turkey necks, chicken backs, etc), lamb ribs when they are on sale, fish, eggs and feed and paultry organs such as chicken/beef hearts and chicken gizzards and chicken liver.
Sample meals:
-- chicken leg quarter with the back attached, a few chicken hearts or gizzards (3-4) and a piece of fish (basa or whatever else is a decent price at the time).
-- turkey neck, an egg and a few chuncks beef heart
-- chicken carcass, a bit of chicken liver and piece of fish
We reached this balance after a while, we experimented in the begining untill we got the right 'poop'. Before we fed less organ/fish but his poo would be too crumbly and he strained. Adding more organs and fish to his meals made it better.
A very good author i like is Tom Lonsdale (australian vet) , google him, he has a lot of free info on his website.

Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.
"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person."
I give veggie's and fruit once in awhile, but certainly not on a regular basis. Whether you do or not is entirely up to you... there is no right or wrong way to do it. I don't add them on a regular basis, because I don't think they are necessary, but my dogs like them. I make up my own carrot, apple, broccoli, and celery mash for them.
As for supplements, I only give specific supplements that my dogs need. For example, I give my oldest gal a glucosamine supplement (Recovery SA). I do give all my dogs fish oil. I used to only give it to my boy as he has severe skin issues, but I've started giving it to all of them.

Quote from: bros on May 15, 2007, 02:59:41 PMany other ?s ?ask anything at all.How'd the summer job search go? Have much time for this between classes/studying? (apologies if you covered this elsewhere)
any other ?s ?ask anything at all.
aagain, you're TOTALLY exaggerating what i am saying and projecting your idea of a gunner, library book stealer, classmate fucker over.
furthermore, you go to a school where competition is less important because the quality employers will go VERY deep into the class, so you really have a different experience, don't you?
Thanks for the advice, bros!I read your posts and I didn't feel like you were being overly dramatic. I appreciate you being upfront about your school's situation. I will not be attending a "T14" and am willing to here different point of views about the law school atmosphere. I may just be a naive 0L, but I haven't seen anything wrong with what you said or how it was phrased.You might have already covered this (I believed I read the entire thread) but do you have any tips on when to take practice tests? I am *striving* to stay up-to-date with my reading assignments and outlining, but when exactly would you suggest starting to look at practice tests? Also, do you use any student support programs/systems at your school? (For example, mentoring from a professor/3L student, etc.)Thank you for your help and thank you for volunteering to talk about your experiences!!
Quote from: bros on May 15, 2007, 09:10:46 AMaagain, you're TOTALLY exaggerating what i am saying and projecting your idea of a gunner, library book stealer, classmate fucker over.I'm not exaggerating what you said. You said that it is "important" to do "ANYTHING you can do to give yourself an advantage over your classmates" (emphasis YOURS). You said that you shouldn't focus on "learning the law/material" but rather focus on "BEATING your classmates" (emphasis again YOURS). Moreover, one should focus on "doing things that will put you ahead of them" (whatever that is). You said that all of this should be a law student's "primary goal" (thus ahead of things like doing the best you can, getting good grades, getting a good job, having a fun time, making friends, building a network of future colleagues, etc.)I'll assume that you simply overstated your thoughts. But I still stand by my point: focusing on the competition isn't good advice for future law students. This is true regardless of where you are. You still don't seem to get my central point: If you do the best that you can in a competition against yourself, you will do just as well as if you're thinking about beating out your classmates. Do you get this? Obviously, you have to know the material better than the other guys to get a good grade. But you have NO CONTROL over that, unless you resort to gunnerish douchebaggery.You're right that A's aren't given out like candy, as they often are in college. But you're wrong that this means you need to "do anything you can" to hurt your classmates. My suggestion for future law students is that they keep their mental frame of reference on THEMSELVES, not on their classmates.Quotefurthermore, you go to a school where competition is less important because the quality employers will go VERY deep into the class, so you really have a different experience, don't you?Before, you implied Columbia students DID need to be cutthroat to get ahead, since they're outside of the HYS. I'll assume that you just overstated your belief there too.You are totally right that just about anyone can get a biglaw job paying market from CLS. To this extent, there's a little less pressure in my experience. And no doubt a lot less of this cutthroat competition. Regardless, Columbia students still want to do well. Regardless of job prospects, no one likes getting a B-. And there are still limited numbers of Law Review spots, prestigious clerkships, academic awards, etc. So even students at higher ranked schools feel the need to do well. But I think the point is that you can do well without targeting fellow students as your enemy.bros, I'm sure you're a nice guy. I don't want to imply you're a gunner or a feminine hygiene product or anything. But I want to emphasize a take-away point for those actually looking at this thread for advice: don't let yourself be consumed by competition. You can do just as well by focusing on working hard and doing the best you can, and will be all the better for it. Perhaps you can agree to that premise?
Can I just say that I am not really concerned about the other students in the class, but "competing" with myself and doing the best I know that I can do...so hopefully my question concerning taking practice exams was not seen as someone who misunderstood this. Or someone who will potentially try to out do my classmates.I am not quite understanding the disagreement here though, but I believe it is because the other "T14" schools were not mentioned along with HYS, by bros. So will the back and forth cease if the whole HYS argument was extended to everyone in the "T14"? Again, I did not take from bros' posts that focusing on competition was the way to get ahead in law school...just wanted to make that clear.P.S. Thank you answering my question, bros! I really think that the practicing route is the way I am going to be approaching this!
lol yeah I realized a while ago that this site can be bad for your health...and potentially your grades! I try to weave through the "fluff" to get to the good stuff! Thank you again for posting! I consider this good stuff

Species: Greek goldenring (Cordulegaster helladica)
Status: Endangered (EN)
Interesting Fact: Like other dragonflies, the Greek goldenring is a supreme aerial predator, hunting a range of other insects in flight.
The Greek goldenring is a large, beautifully patterned dragonfly with wide yellow rings encircling its otherwise black abdomen. It also has bright yellow markings on its thorax, and its eyes are large and green. Male and female Greek goldenrings are similar in appearance, but females are slightly larger, growing up to about eight centimetres in length. Like other golden-ringed dragonflies, the female Greek goldenring lays its eggs by driving them into the sandy sediments of rivers and brooks in a distinctive rhythmic, vertical flight. The eggs are likely to take a few weeks to hatch, but the larvae do not transform into adults for around two to six years, depending on the altitude. As its name suggests, the Greek goldenring is endemic to Greece, where it is found in the south of the country and on a number of islands.
Populations of the Greek goldenring are severely fragmented, and are believed to be declining due to habitat destruction and water extraction by humans. Some previously reported sites for this species have dried up in recent years, and drought and forest fires are also significant threats which could potentially increase due to climate change. Three subspecies of Greek goldenring are recognised, one of which is classified as Critically Endangered as it inhabits just a single spring at the Delphi archaeological site. No specific conservation measures are currently targeted at this threatened insect, but forest preservation and the control of water extraction have been recommended. The single site at Delphi also needs greater protection.
Find out more about European dragonflies and their conservation at the British Dragonfly Society and the European Red List of Dragonflies.

As they were eating lunch at California Pizza Kitchen last Monday, Colin Tierney and his buddies from Bishop Hendricken couldn't have imagined the devastation that would soon unfold on the surrounding streets.
They couldn't have imagined it later, either, when they missed their 1:45 p.m. train out of Boston, or even after they missed their 2:30 train. Really, there was no need to worry about schedules. They were having fun, laughing, playing XBox Kinect in the Microsoft store and – most importantly – watching the Boston Marathon, along with thousands of others.
It was the carefree kind of day that Patriots Day in Boston is supposed to be. After all, Tierney had been to the marathon every year since he was a little kid and always enjoyed it. There was no reason to suspect that this time would be any different.
Tierney, a junior at Hendricken was in the city to watch people do what he and his friends also love to do. He wanted to watch them run. Tierney, along with fellow Hendricken cross country and track standouts Connor Doyle, Tyler Henseler, Grant Gauthier and Tom Grizzetti were all there because running is a part of their lives, just like it is for all the participants in the marathon.
"We actually thought of the idea of going down the block a little ways, throwing on our running clothes and hopping into the race and finishing," Tierney said. "We thought it was so cool and everyone was so happy, it would be really cool if we could finish, maybe pick up one of those towels and get out of there."
At just after 2:40 p.m., Tierney and his group – which also included two girlfriends – moved to an enclosed glass bridge between the Prudential Center and the Lord & Taylor clothing store. From that spot, they had a good view of an area not far from the race's finish line.
Roughly 10 minutes later, their view was of mayhem on the streets of Boston.
"Everyone was just cheering and cheering," Tierney said. "Then it was like, 'Boom.' Complete quietness. Then screaming, and franticness."
The first of two bombs in what turned out to be a deadly terrorist attack on the city had detonated just out of sight. A few seconds later, the second bomb went off.
More mayhem. More chaos. And this time, Tierney saw even more.
"Then I looked up at the building straight across the street from us, and the second bomb just exploded," he said. "When explosions happen, you know how they're black and fiery? Right when it got the biggest it got without smoking, I was already turning and running the other way."
What ensued was one of the most frantic moments of Tierney and his friends' lives. They navigated their way through crowded streets, sometimes holding hands, observing a city that was in complete panic.
They had no way of knowing at the time what exactly had happened or who was behind it, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was getting as far away from the finish line as possible.
"You see on TV that everyone is running and screaming and crying," Tierney said. "It's exactly like that in real life, except it's more real."
Seven teenagers, alone in Boston, running for their lives. Moments earlier, they were having the time of their lives.
Luckily for each of them, their nightmare ended sooner than it did for some others. They eventually made their way to the apartment of the brother of one of the group members, and from there the mother of one of the girls drove in from Swansea, picked them all up in a van and shuttled them out of the city just moments before Boston went into lockdown mode.
"It wasn't until we got home and we sat there that we were like, 'Whoa, did that actually happen?' Because from the time the second one went off until we got home, we were running and frantically moving," Tierney said.
Plenty of people, though, were not as lucky as Tierney and his friends. Three people died that day, with over a hundred more wounded. Many lost limbs, surviving only thanks to the courage of a nearby civilian or the blood donation of a hero.
While nothing will ever make up for the pain felt in the city that day, people have rallied together to ease the suffering – an unanticipated positive side effect of a terrible tragedy.
Upon returning home, Tierney felt the need to rally as well. He wanted to help the victims, in one way or another, because he saw the looks on the faces of the people in the city that day.
With the help of his parents Mary and Scott, Tierney came up with an idea. They ordered 200 bracelets online, colored in a blue and yellow combination to represent the official colors of the Boston Marathon.
On the bracelets, they had the words "Combat Evil With Good" written on one side, and the quote is attributed to Pope Francis on the other side. After the Pope's name, the words "Boston 2013" are inscribed.
Pope Francis said those words in his homily the day after the bombings.
"We thought it was so impactful what Pope Francis said," Tierney said. "We don't even really mean it as a religious type thing, we just thought it was an influential quote."
The Tierney family decided to sell the 200 bracelets for $5 each, and they didn't plan on using any of the profit to cover the initial purchase of the bracelets. That way, all the money could go toward the relief effort, a charity known as "The One Fund Boston" that was set up the day of the bombings by Boston Gov. Deval Patrick and Mayor Thomas Menino.
The bracelets came in the mail, and Tierney went and spoke to Hendricken principal Jay Brennan. An announcement was made over the loudspeaker, and Tierney sat at a table during lunch periods on Tuesday selling the bracelets.
In one day, he sold approximately 180 of the 200 bracelets.
"Yesterday, during school, I went to the bathroom and texted my mom," Tierney said on Wednesday. "I was like, 'Mom, order 200 more. We're going to need them.'"
And the Tierney family did order 200 more. They're still being sold at Hendricken, or really to anyone who wants to make a donation. Many people have been particularly generous, giving more than the $5 asked for a single bracelet.
Tierney also called his pastor at his local church, Our Lady of Mercy in East Greenwich, and Tierney will be sitting outside the church this Sunday selling bracelets there.
After that, Tierney and his parents will re-assess. They might even need to make another order.
"The idea was that if we could raise $1,000 that would be great," Tierney said. "Then we basically sold all 200, so why not go $2,000? Why not 3? Let's get as much as we can get."
The One Fund has already raised over $20 million in its first week in existence, and the Tierneys and the Bishop Hendricken community are certainly doing their part. Hendricken is holding a dress down day today, where students pay to dress out of uniform. All proceeds are going to the fund.
The effort of the Tierneys and the school community is indicative of people all over New England. It's a microcosm of the love that we have for each other, and the love that the two men who planted those bombs were trying to take away.
But they can't. Even those, like Tierney, who saw the destruction that day, and were scared that they may never make it home, are undeterred.
And through the help of people like the Tierney family, healing from a day of excruciating pain is happening every day.
"We didn't really know how successful it would be," Tierney said. "Luckily, it was great. We ordered another 200. If we sell those 200, we'll order another set and just keep going."

It has qualified for its eighth World Cup final tournament, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, having been the only unbeaten team during the AFC qualification tournament. It won the first two editions of the AFC Asian Cup. I love Blue Dragon, name "Chung-Yong" derived from Chinese characters.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel! The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the accommodations were very nice for the price. The location is excellent, too. We would definitely stay there again!
Christine Bender
Perfect location for the Vatican! Highly Professional and Helpful front-desk staff! Cozy and Clean Rooms! Our Highest possible Recommendation to anybody visiting Rome.
Gary Gackstetter
Below is what I wrote on Trip Advisor - thanks for a wonderful experience! Exceeded ALL our expectations (which were high to begin with). Went with my wife to celebrate my 60th birthday and our 33rd wedding anniversary. Wonderful in all respects. Outstanding staff (the front desk, especially Fabrizio, as well as the ownership) saw to our every need. They helped with sightseeing, selecting fine restaurants and making reservations, etc. 5-star all the way. Elegant, comfortable rooms (we had the junior suite facing the rear - very quiet) ; nice rooftop for breakfast and late night after dinner drinks - with a view of St. Peter's dome; easy walk to the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums - - as well as shopping and dining. Prior to our arrival, they even assisted our family/friends who wanted to surprise us with wine/champagne on arrival - which worked out perfectly. And they even gave me a birthday gift! A great special place.
I believe our stay at the Dei Consoli last week was our fifth visit. We love everything about your hotel and especially enjoyed the new (to us) rooftop terrace. All of your staff is pleasant and gracious. We will definitely make plans to return. Grazie mille!
