Well, at least the comment person said a `million' - I can barely stand it when someone says 1,000 years ahead of us - with a gasp in their voice. But, since this is where our `air' transportation was 100 years ago (see picture on top of post) - I guess to that person 1,000 years in terms of the `civilizations out there' might indeed seem impressive. But,.................. it's not.
Indeed, the points that Greg brings up in his article about the `alienness' of the aliens is dead on. To fully comprehend what may be going on in our skies and perhaps even in peoples minds (abductions come to mind) - I'd say that to get a grasp on even a tiny portion of that - one needs to take a view of `time' that is truly enormous - almost really, beyond human comprehension. Because, such a view on `aliens and intelligence' would lead the thinking person on into realms involving billions of years - yes - billions.I would hope that readers of this blog are knowledgeable enough to know that the material that our Sun is made of - and us too - are the remains of a `star' that `blew up' supposedly about 7 billion years ago. I would also hope my readers are aware that science speculates that our Universe is less than 14 billion years removed from the Big Bang event. And, finally, I would hope that my readers are aware that `stars come and go' and that stars (and most likely planets) have been present in the universe nearly all except for the first several hundred million years. But, what readers may not be aware of, is that as soon as the `heavier' elements began to be abundant - it was possible for `life' to be in the universe - a situation that could ONLY happen after the first generation of stars.
The long story short is that for BILLIONS of years - life, and indeed intelligent life - may have been present in the universe. Even intelligent live that could have been human like or beyond. So, what ultimately must be considered by folks with an interest in UFO's is that it's possible that entities or intelligences grown from our universe elements may exist in a form appropriate for life forms billions of years old. Indeed, the real question is - how would such life forms present themselves here, on Earth, about 14 billion years after the BB? AND, what could they possibly WANT from a species like human beings?
Greg Bishop in his post points out, and I agree, that they likely don't NEED us for anything, and, would probably have `solved' virtually any `problem' they had with their level of science intelligence. Indeed, if thought about - it makes the one UFO meme that the `aliens' need us for our genetics - seem silly.
Now, this isn't to say that `aliens' wouldn't exist at ALL levels of `timeframes'. Some civilizations could be billions of years old (obviously, they would be wanderers of the universe as their `parent' planet in all likelihood has been gone for eons) - although I expect that number to be quite limited. However, more and more civilizations may indeed be hundreds of millions of years old - and indeed, more would be only several million years old. And, yes, some would indeed, be only a million or even only a thousand years `ahead' of us.
Frankly, I think the odds that an alien race that is presenting itself to humans - is NOT just a thousand years ahead of us. Hundreds of thousands to many millions of years is much more likely. So, let's put ourselves into the position of a `species' that may have more than a million years advancement from humans. (And, obviously, advanced enough to NOT blow up their home planet - at least before leaving it.) What indeed could we expect from a civilization of such age - what would they want their legacy to be? What would they find of interest on planets?
Could it be that `drama' and `humor' - might fit the bill?
Did you know that in 2007 that over 200 star systems had been identified as being within 33 light years of Earth? And, that new ones are being discovered all the time (many of these are brown dwarfs - but - they too could possibly have a habitual zone too) - indeed one system recently discovered was only 12 light years away.
Now, why do I digress into these statistics?
Well, because we have been `broadcasting' to that universe for nearly 100 years. `I Love Lucy' has easily made it to over 500 if not 5000 star systems by now. And, what could be more humorous or have more drama than Human Beings? Could it be that the `things' that are seen in the sky are data collectors for that humor and drama? Would WE not watch such a `program stream' about another planet?
Are Humans Entertainment For Billion Year Old Entities?

2015-11-17 - In this series we get to know some adventurous families who are teaching their children about the great outdoors from day one. First up are Tim, Marieke and Polle, who walked the Camino de Santiago with their Bugaboo Buffalo earlier this year.
When Rotterdam-based entrepreneur Tim (35) and psychiatrist Marieke (28) welcomed their son in April 2015, they were determined to keep their adventurous spirit in the family. So, a few months later, they packed their bags for Northern Spain. Their goal? Walk 450-kilometers of the renowned Camino de Santiago route with their 3 ½ month old son in a stroller, in just two months.
Before becoming parents, vacations for the couple usually meant adventures in the outdoors. From the snowy highlands of Tibet to the jungles of the Philippines, Tim and Marieke traveled the world. "It's all about that moment when you steer away from the path, when you set off on your own with the few essentials you need strapped to your back. We tend to feel comfortable in the most uncomfortable of situations. That's when we end up in places that are right out of a National Geographic magazine," says Tim.
When their son Polle was 3 ½ months old, they decided to get back out there, taking advantage of maternity and parental leave (for her) and a flexible vacation schedule (for him). They chose Northern Spain, a place where they could speak the language (Tim had traveled around Spain and spent time in Barcelona while Marieke had lived in Portugal), where medical care was in close reach, and where the weather would be pleasant enough for all to enjoy.
More specifically, they chose to walk the Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James, the pilgrimage route that hundreds if not thousands of people walk every year to reach the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. While many undertake the journey as a religious pilgrimage, others take on the challenge for the adventure, the scenery and the conviviality of meeting strangers on the way. "The Camino de Santiago was one of Europe's first cultural routes and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. There's so much history, it was incredible to spend some time there," says Tim. The couple decided to walk the primitive branch from Cantabria to Galicia, which was a little rougher in terrain but more moderate in climate.
While Tim and Marieke are seasoned hikers, they had to get used to a new pace with their young son in tow. No longer were they ahead of the pack, they stayed behind with the older folks. "Walking that certain pace, we were lucky enough to befriend those who walked alongside us. We were known as the couple with the baby – Polle was even crowned the youngest pilgrim to walk the Camino de Santiago (laughs). But this definitely helped when it came to finding places to pitch our tent – we were offered to sleep in peoples' backyards, were lead to safe campgrounds by a police officer, and even given the key to a nearby café in case it were to get too cold during the night," explains Tim.
No regrets for this young family. Polle enjoyed the ride from the comfort of the sturdy Bugaboo Buffalo, and his parents couldn't have hoped for a better vacation. Tips for others attempting a similar adventure? "Trust yourself, and your baby. Give yourself time. And be willing to settle for an alternative in case it's just not going the way you planned."
Thank you Tim and Marieke for sharing your story! Have you recently been on an adventure with your family? Be sure to share your experiences with us.

The Winds Are Always Changing at Muirfield
There's a Distinctive Style and a Hint of Danger at the Site of This Year's British Open
By the traditions of the British Open, the Old Course at St. Andrews is the prom queen, all taffeta and golden curls. But Muirfield, the site of this year's championship and 15 others before it, is the dark-eyed femme fatale, a quietly confident dazzler with a distinctive style and more than a hint of danger.
What makes this course distinct from other Open layouts is the interplay between its circular design and the notorious Scottish winds that can howl like the Monster of Glamis, turning a peaceful walk along the coastal lowlands into a harrowing struggle to remain upright.
On most courses in that part of the world, whipping winds essentially create two different courses in one. Since the layouts are designed in the classic out-and-back format, the first nine holes head basically in one direction, and the next nine head back toward the clubhouse the other way. If the wind is with you on the front nine, it's against you on the back.
Muirfield, set on Scotland's eastern coast, is perfectly located to endure the brunt of the region's erratic weather. The direction of play changes every few holes, forcing players to measure what seems like a constantly shifting wind—even on those days when it's only coming from one direction. And therein lies the secret to the mysteriousness of Muirfield: It seems like an open, what-you-see-is-what-you-get course nearly devoid of any of the quirks, awkward doglegs and oddly-placed pot-bunkers that characterize so many of the other courses in the British Open rotation. But you'd better not drop your guard.
"If the wind blows there, my god, you can lose your dog," said David Feherty, the Golf Channel commentator and former pro. "Every hole it seems like you're going into a different direction. With the other courses you get into a rhythm. You know you're left-to-right and upwind out and right-to-left and downwind back," he said. "At Muirfield you're constantly getting something different. It's left-to-right, then right-to-left, then downwind, then you don't know where the hell it's coming from, and then it disappears because there's a dune that blocks it."
Built on an old horse-racing course, Muirfield follows a circle around the circumference of the course through the front nine, turns at its clubhouse, then zigs and zags its way through the middle of the circle on the back. Ron Whitten, senior editor for architecture at Golf Digest, calls Muirfield, whose membership dates to 1744, "an old club with a relatively modern routing. Other Open sites are old clubs with old 19th century routings."
For now, the forecast is for a rather calm weekend at Muirfield, with winds hovering around 10 miles per hour. The prevailing wind is from the West, though it's likely to shift several times throughout the tournament, according to forecasts. Not that the golf gods have any particular respect for weather forecasts, particularly Scottish ones. Tiger Woods learned this in 2002 when a calm morning whipped into an angry, rainy, biting cold from the Northeast during his third round. He shot an 81 and lost his best chance at a grand slam. Woods shot a 65 the next day, but the round became an object lesson in the need for constant adjustment at Muirfield.
"You can't just hit one way," Woods said Tuesday. "You have to shape it both ways and really control the shots. Because you're not playing, like you are at St. Andrews, out and back, or Troon. You're playing almost in kind of a circle, in a sense, because you've got so many different angles."
Shifting wind may be the most beguiling of conditions for golfers. It gets inside the heads of even the best golfers and doesn't leave. Even Ben Hogan preferred to practice almost exclusively with a right-to-left wind hitting him in the chest as he stood over his ball. "Most right-handers can barely play in a left-to-right wind," said Paul Azinger, the ESPN analyst who bogeyed his way to a second-place finish at Muirfield in 1987. "And a lot of the players today hit such a spinny ball so that it tends to get up in the wind and that can be trouble. This is a course where it seems like more tournaments seem to be lost rather than won."
Veterans of Muirfield say the changing wind patterns require a rare steeliness, which may be one of the reasons Muirfield's champions list—Harry Vardon, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els—is as impressive as any in golf. It's worth noting that Nicklaus didn't name his home course in Ohio "St. Andrews west" but rather "Muirfield Village."
Conquering this course requires a seemingly counter-intuitive approach. The formula for success isn't to try to pound the ball through the wind. "You have to hit a lot of club and hit it soft, because the harder you hit it the more it will spin, and the harder it is to control," Feherty said. "It's like playing the game in miniature and at a lower speed. Eventually you realize everyone will suck it up out there, so it's a matter of making a bogey when the other guy makes double."

just got a Xbox 360 yesterday and I am now addicted to Fifa 09. I got it for $250 aussie dollars from EB, it was about $600 at the beginning of the year so I was pretty wrapped with the bargain. If I had the cash i wouldve preffered a PS3 because it has all the ea sports games including cricket 09 when it comes out which I dont think comes out on 360.

One of the most refreshing things about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 was the filmmakers' decision to not upconvert the film to 3D. And, if hard box office numbers are anything to go by, it didn't seem to hurt the film's reception one iota.
Alas, we were not so lucky with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which has gone through that post-conversion 3D process and will probably be released in more 3D theaters than 2D. Still, there's hope yet for a quality 3D experience, as Harry Potter Visual Effects Supervisor Tim Burke recently praised the final film's 3D.
When asked about creating the visual effects for Part 2, Burke said, (courtesy of Hero Complex):
We were past the wire, actually. We really pushed it right way to the end of any possible time on this one. We had the big conversion to 3D as well, and that sort of added a massive complication. So yeah, we've used every second we possibly could.
Speaking of the upconverted 3D, he said:
I think it's good, actually. I think people are going to be really pleased. I know everyone's a little nervous and skeptical of 3D these days, but the work has been done very, very well. We've done over 200 shots in 3D and in the visual effects as well, because so much of it is CG, so the results are very, very good. I think everyone's going to be really impressed with it, actually.
Nearly ten years later, it's hard to remember just how poor the special effects were in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. For a movie that had immense monetary backing from Warner Bros., top-notch production values in every other category, and one of the best casts in the history of fantasy adaptations, there seemed to be little concern for how the more fantastical elements came across onscreen. Trolls, centaurs, broomstick-flying wizards – all of it looked terrible, in terms of CGI.
One year later, that all changed with The Chamber of Secrets, a film with special effects that continue to hold up to this day (and will likely hold up in perpetuity). Dobby the House-Elf, the giant snake, broomstick-flying wizards – all of it looked exceedingly realistic and awesomely impressive. Sure, The Two Towers may have won the Best Visual Effects Oscar in 2002, badly-rendered wargs and all, but Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets deserved to.
The point is, Tim Burke, the man responsible for the massive leap in quality for Harry Potter's special effects between the first and the second film - and the continued quality ever since - knows what he's talking about when it comes to this sort of thing. That said, he's also an employee of Warner Bros. who specifically worked on the film he's praising, so his word on the issue isn't exactly unbiased.
Regardless, Warner Bros. has had the time – and they certainly have the money – to craft some serviceable, if not quality, 3D for the final Harry Potter film. This won't be Clash of the Titans or The Last Airbender. But that doesn't mean that this particular Screen Rant writer is going to pay the extra five dollars (or whatever) to see either serviceable or quality upconverted 3D.
Lastly, Burke also discussed the final scene in the film at King's Cross – which had to be reshot – wherein Harry, Ron, and Hermione are older and sending their own children off to Hogwarts:
Oh, yeah, they actually had to re-shoot that. I'd even forgotten about that already. Because they were re-shooting it, they couldn't go to King's Cross, where it was staged. So they shot it with green screen, and we had to put King's Cross in. So that was a surprise. I'd forgotten it all. And then they did some sort of makeup for the aging. But then at the very end, after the audience screening, they asked us to start enhancing it to make the kids seem older. So that was another surprise. See, you just forget these things. I think it's called therapy. You just try and blank them.
How do you feel about the final Harry Potter film being released in 3D? Will you be watching it in 2D or 3D, if you have your druthers? Let us know in the comments.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hits theaters July 15th, 2011.

There's a black market for craft beer.
Brewers have taken things to the next level, spending the time and effort to increase the complexity and scarcity of their beers, catering to the crowd of rabid consumers who spend hours on beer-rating websites like RateBeer.com.
Christian DeBenedetti, editor-in-chief of The Weekly Pint, has covered the craft beer industry since the '90s and he wrote in a story at Slate that he thought he'd seen it all.
That is, until he saw the beer black market in action.
He explained:
At New York's Blind Tiger bar one late afternoon last March, a slight, unsmiling young man in a dark windbreaker ordered several pints of beer from the bar, transferred them one by one to a canteen, then slipped away.
"He's going straight home to resell that on eBay," muttered a patron standing nearby.
The perishable beer in question was brewed by Shaun Hill at Hill Farmstead brewery in Vermont, which is currently rated the sixth best brewery in the world by the users of RateBeer.
It's illegal to sell alcohol for consumption unless you have a license, but there's plenty of the shady practice happening on eBay. DeBenedetti wrote that the number of successful auctions closed is in the thousands. Sellers ignore U.S. laws and eBay's rules.
And prices for some of these beers are spectacularly high. Here's a single 12-ounce bottle of unopened Midnight Sun M that sold for $1,310 on eBay.
The description of the item reads: "The bottle is a factory-sealed unused bottle and the content of the bottles are incidental." Below, a disclaimer notes that "any incidental contents are not intended for consumption."

Saffan talks career and running Harbor Yard
Howard Saffan has a love affair with Bridgeport.
He learned to embrace the Park City as the owner of a window and door manufacturing business, and his allegiance has grown since he became president of the Sound Tigers hockey team and the Webster Bank Arena.
During his youth on Long Island, Saffan loved playing soccer, but reality took hold as he matured, and after earning a law degree from Brooklyn Law School he pursued a career as a lawyer and later as a real estate developer.
In 2005, he circled back to his love of sports when he became president of the Sound Tigers and in 2011, president of the arena.
Saffan, 54, has learned to separate his business responsibilities from being a fan, and he understands the need for the region's residents to embrace the team, giving talks to non-profit organizations and interacting with college students interested in pursuing sports business careers.
Married and the father of four, the Weston resident is also president of Bishop Design and Development, a real estate development company, and owns and operates the SportsCenter of Connecticut, a Shelton skating and recreation venue.
Saffan took some time out to talk about his career and what it takes to lead a staff in managing Sound Tigers and the arena under the umbrella of Harbor Yard Sports & Entertainment.
Q: What was your specialty as a lawyer?
A: I was a bankruptcy lawyer. I clerked with a federal bankruptcy judge and worked on the Johns Manville bankruptcy -- at the time the largest in the world. Then I worked at Otterbourg, a Park Avenue, New York City law firm, and my first case was Jane Fonda Workout Wear. The greatest part was getting to see why a business failed. It's basically like doing an autopsy. Later on in my business career, it's been incredibly helpful.
Q: How did you move into commercial real estate?
A: I owned a window and door factory -- Bishop Manufacturing on Knowlton Street -- one of the largest in Northeast. It grew to three factories -- one in Bridgeport, another in Farmingdale, L.I., and one in Clinton, Mass. I sold the business... but my love for Bridgeport remained. I tried to find a job in sports, but no one would hire me. At the suggestion of my real estate lawyer, I started a development company, Bishop Design Development. It's both commercial and residential. We build residential spec homes and commercial development. It's mostly residential focused in Fairfield, and commercial development mostly in Shelton. I just bought a property in Monroe.
Q: How did your involvement in the Sports Center of Connecticut occur?
A: Two miles from my window facility in Farmingdale, L.I., they were building a golf driving range. It was called Family Golf. I grew up in a blue collar family, and I couldn't believe people would pay money to hit golf balls. They built it into a public company, but it went upside down, and they filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A friend called and said you might be interested in Connecticut where there's a Family Golf. I went to the auction in Shelton bought it not knowing a darn thing about golf. That was 1999. My partners are Alan Phillips and Kevin Schumacher. We turned it into an entire sports center. It's exceeded my expectations. Last year we had 1.7 million customers. It's a wonderland for kids. I have four kids, and they love to run around the facility.
Q: How did ownership of the sports center turn into presidency of the Sound Tigers and the Webster Bank Arena?
A: The Sound Tigers came into being in 2001. Alan Panzer, CEO of U.S. Surgical, knew I was a hockey fan. He encouraged me to see the Sound Tigers. In the suite next to us was Mike Milbury, general manager of the Islanders. I introduced himself, and I said we were building hockey rinks less than 10 minutes away. I was introduced to the owner of Islanders, Charles Wang, and two months later, I was at their practice facility in Syosset, L.I. He asked me to comment on what they should and shouldn't be doing. It led to me becoming partners with Charles Wang at Ice Works at Syosset.
Two years later, the Islanders purchased -- took over the assets of -- the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and Charles asked me be presi
About five years ago, Charles asked me to help him run the business side of the Islanders and oversee the Nassau Coliseum, which I did for approximately two years. But I was reverse commuting from Weston every day, and I told him I wasn't having fun. Those are the magic words for Charles -- not having fun.
I told him I have a great idea -- why don't we become partners in the Arena at Harbor Yard? I believe we can turn it around. On March 30, 2011, we purchased it from CenterPlate. We've invested millions of dollars into the facility. We've taken what I foresaw becoming the next New Haven Coliseum and bringing it back to the jewel status that it is today.
Q: How many people do you employ and what measures do you take to ensure you have a dedicated workforce?
A: We look at everything as an umbrella. It's Harbor Yard Sports and Entertainment that operates the arena and the Sound Tigers. We have 300 full- and part-time employees. This isn't my first rodeo. We're hands-on management. Several of our employees have been working here for 10-plus years. We have excellent managers. We try to over-deliver in terms of customer service. First impressions are critical. We have discriminating customers from Fairfield, New Haven and Westchester counties and the Valley.
We take the responsibility to be the gateway to Bridgeport. People don't know how beautiful Bridgeport is. We want to change misconceptions about the city.
Q: As you advanced in your career, what did you learn about being a good leader?
A: You have to make lots of mistakes. Everybody has the thought process that to be a good leader you have to be perfect. That just isn't true. You have to make mistakes to be successful, and you need to learn from your mistakes. You need to be a good person. The world is round, and what goes around comes around.
We have the Arena Angels, a 501c3 headed up by Pat Hansen. It enables groups of young kids in need to see live entertainment. Hopefully it changes their lives. I come from humble beginnings. My father would take me to a Ranger game once a year. He would save his money. That forever touched my heart. It was the most selfless thing he did for us.
Q: What are the pluses and minuses of being president of both the Sound Tigers and the arena?
A: A plus is flexibility of scheduling with 365-day control of the calendar. We can be mobile. Example, Elton John wanted to practice and wanted to play a date here, but the date was blocked by a Sound Tigers game. I called the president of the other team, and we changed the date. Elton John was a sellout and a huge success for the city of Bridgeport. That was a huge get. The minuses -- aggravations 365 days a year. When hockey season is over, whole other series of issues arise.
Q: What do you enjoy the most?
A: What I enjoy most is giving back to Bridgeport. I was fortunate to make my money on Knowlton Street in Bridgeport in the window and door business. Nobody wanted to acquire this arena. This arena was going down hill. We knew that. We were the tenant. The ability to bring people from the region to this arena and Bridgeport is priceless. UConn is playing basketball here when people said it would never happen.
Q: Are the Sound Tigers and arena profitable?
A: When we took over the Sound Tigers, they were losing quite a bit of money. Charles has been extremely patient, and the fans have come out. The team does well in the American Hockey League. But in Fairfield County, people have the means to go to Madison Square Garden, the Nassau Coliseum and the Prudential Center. It's challenging, but being part of the community is critical in what we do.
It's substantially better. Harbor Yard Sports & Entertainment is a profitable venture. Both entities have been turned around.

Ascent of Lawson Peak on 2007-06-11
Richard Carey
Monday, June 11, 2007
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Lawson Peak
3660 ft / 1115 m
Ascent Trip Report
To reach Lawson Peak from San Diego drive east on Interstate 8 to the Japatul Road exit which is about 7 miles east of Alpine. Exit here and go south for 5.4 miles and then turn left on Lyons Valley Road. From this junction go 4.9 miles and pull off on the right side across from milepost 13 at a junction with a dirt road coming down steeply from the hill above. This unmarked route is Carveacre Road, 16S03, which is steep and badly eroded. I recommend hiking this rather than attempting to drive it unless you have a short wheelbase 4WD such as a small jeep. Hiking up the road it is 1.8 miles to a high ridge to where it turns north and descends to an open 4-way intersection. The summit of Lawson is the massive rock directly to the NW. Cross the intersection and follow a trail that ends soon in the brush with a use trail continuing up to the base of the peak. After some boulder scrambling stay to the right or north side of the peak and look for a route up a steep series of small ledges on the left side of a large rock. On top there are some easy slabs to the large flat summit area. An alternate route is found further along the north side where a short ladder has been placed in a slot allowing one to get over a chockstone. The hike is 2 miles to the top with a gain of 1500 ft. About 1 3/4 hours is sufficient to reach the top. This hike is in "Afoot and Afield in San Diego County, 2nd ed., by Jerry Schad on p. 169. The book " California Hiking" by Stienstra and Hodgson also details the climb on p. 777. 5/95 RLC

Maine's Angus King to Caucus With Senate Democrats
(WASHINGTON) -- Maine's newly elected Independent senator-elect, Angus King, announced on Wednesday that he'll caucus with the Democrats, boosting the party's control to 55 seats, compared with 45 held by Republicans in the new Congress.
"I have decided to affiliate with the Democratic Caucus because doing so will allow me to take independent positions on issues as they arise and at the same time be an effective representative of the people of Maine," King announced in Congress Wednesday morning.
The senator underscored remaining independent even in caucusing with the Democratic Party. He will be one of two Independents in the Senate, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who also caucuses with the Democrats.
King noted that the decision was "relatively easy" after the Democrats' victories on Election Day.
"In the situation where one party has a clear majority and effectiveness is an important criteria, affiliating with the majority makes the most sense," King said. "The majority has more committee slots to fill, has more control over what bills get considered, and more control over the Senate schedule."
But he left open the door to the possibility of caucusing with the Republicans if, in a new Congress, Republicans were able to take back control of the Senate.
"It would be a question of the majority but also a question of, which I emphasized, on my ability to maintain my independence," he said.
King won his seat with 55 percent of the vote, replacing the retiring Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., welcomed King into the Democratic caucus, noting that he and the Democratic caucus embrace his independence.

Ditto to everything you said.
Learning method is also what I use, each of my dogs require different techniques to achieve a certain result, one method only on 6 very different breeds and types of dogs just doesnt work.
Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyways. ~John Wayne
lol, I was afraid I'd get tomatos thrown at me...
it is still early I suppose
Sibes are intellegent & fast learners they can be willful during training if they don't see the need to constantly repeat a command they already know. It takes time, patience and a gentle but firm, confident & consistant handler to properly train a Sibe. They need mental as well as physical exercise/stimulation or they may become destructive or escape artists from sheer boredom.
Some info on Sibes here:

The Spirit Lives As Long As Someone Who Lives Remembers You - Navaho Saying
Vindication ~ For all those pets who became sick or lost their lives from tainted pet food
The Key to what you said was 'watch those that have mastered it'. I keep saying and pushing is that the only way to learn is to keep an open mind. I cannot say that I would completely follow you as I also incorporate other methods as well. I personally could not be a one way trainer. But you have me very curious and I really wish I could attend one of your lessons. I really mean that.
This was invaluable when I had a HUGE Rottweiler that growled at my son when he was learning to crawl. The SECOND he did that, I flipped him and let him know there was NO WAY that was going to happen. He never did that again and turned out to be an amazing nurturing protective dog that watched over all the neighborhood kids, especially when they toddled "through the woods" of our joined back yards, "hunting for bears".
If he had continued to growl and threaten, he would have been gone. It was imperative he realized he had to quit that fast.
PS. The only thing I would change in your post would be changing method to principle. The principles of learning are universal, the methods are the application of those principles.
I don't doubt that your methods work, if they didn't, you wouldn't be using them. But I suspect that many methods would work if one is willing to put countless hours into it...hours that many dog owners just don't have because some of us have to work most of the day.
I don't claim to be an authority on dogs but I know a few things about fads, especially in child rearing. One of the biggest fads complete with mountains of books promoting it, is that kids should never be spanked.
I worked 6 years at Mental Health and all the therapists that taught that insane theory had no kids of their own. They also seemed to think all kids start out like a blank page and would react the same. They don't. What works with one kid often doesn't work with another. "No spanking" doesn't work at all and it's proved by the current generations that grew up under that fad. Rebellion has runamuk and countless cities have teachers afraid to teach classes.
I suspect dogs are much the same way. They don't all react the same to the same circumstances. And they ALL would act better if they got consistent interaction often and could easily understand what so many of us are trying to tell them in so many ways.
I think they understand being flipped on their backs and growled at when they misbehave. It's what commonly happens in nature, they easily understand it and remember it and it doesn't hurt them in the slightest.
Of course my sweet little Bell has never needed that, she's always tried to please. Rufio, though......lol. Gotta get that beast's attention.
"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." ~ Chinese Proverb
We must not refuse to see with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies. ~ Gretchen Wyler
Another interesting perspective (short article) on respect and dominance.
Very interesting article MX3. I am curious actually what the word 'dominence training' actually really means.
I am confused. (not surprising)
I was watching the interaction between my GSD and the puppy. His mouth was gentle, he would use his weight to push the puppy from him when she got too 'rough'. He also gently puts her whole neck into his mouth. You can see his gentleness in holding her still until she settled, and then he released. Again using his body to redirect her next 'plan of attack'. And it starts all over.
Within minutes the GSD turns towards the Anatolian. The clash of the Titans. Both on hind quarters, neck holding, chest smashing, random pawing to get the other off balance with the final holding the neck ...with the release and the play continues. All this supervised as both are sore losers.
All this to say that everything observed using the GSD as an example, is a dog that uses negative, positive and positive negative, and finally dominence. Interesting thing is that the GSD adjusted his tactics to fit the situation based on the size of the dogs he interacted with, and his ability to understand the difference in their size and most probably the age.
That is why I say that every tool can be used in order to suit the dog and the situation at hand. I appreciate that this is dog on dog interaction, and we as humans can learn by watching such displays but we cannot mimic them effectively...obviously. It gives you the appreciation that the dog will adjust to all circumstances...something that humans must also take into consideration when training, evaluating and interacting with canines.

In nature, animals very rarely get involved in real physical fights because of the risk of injury (which is a death sentence). 99% of observed fight behavior is posturing - which means that one animal voluntarily goes to ground to submit to the other's superior strength. When one animal physically throws the other down, it is preparing to kill it.
By grabbing your dog and throwing it to the ground, you are initiating the equivalent of (what would be) a fight to the death.
I know someone who has had 3 rescue dogs and all of them have developed severe aggression because of these methods.
This person was very loving towards their dogs in other respects and the dogs were treated like family - given great amounts of exercise, positive social interaction, and structure.
Over the course of their lives, two of them began to show some aggressive behavior towards other dogs and one began showing aggression to people. This aggression was corrected with alpha rolls and growling/shouting.
The dog who was human-aggressive has since been euthanized for attacking and biting 2 people.
The larger of the dogs who was dog-aggressive (the smaller is a chihuahua mix and not corrected as often) has lost any of the warning signs that would normally pre-curse and attack. It is very scary to watch. One minute she is happily sitting next to you, the next she lunges and grabs the other by the neck (pinning him down) snarling while the boy screams. There are absolutely no warning signs. None.
In addition, they have both also started showing some aggression to people.
If the dogs understood why they were being corrected, it would have stopped the behavior.
Dogs know that we are not dogs. They do not treat us like other dogs - and we wouldn't want them to.
Dogs - with the possible exception of those hand-raised since birth - do know the difference between a dog and a human, and are capable of responding to human behaviours and learning our language (body and vocal).
There are certain advantages to being human that can be used to trigger natural reactions in a dog. Height for instance: when your dog is on the floor and you are standing up your dog sees this as an expression of dominance on your behalf. Grabbing a dog's muzzle with your hand and applying light pressure and restraint - NOT grabbing it with your mouth in order to simulate the exact behaviour of another dog. Meal-feeding or nothing-in-life-is-free feeding. The use of personal space - walking into your tog to get him to back off accompanied by you talking in a growly voice - all done with your face safely higher than him (caution with some dogs on this, which you will know from the initial evaluation). And there are many others.
To me, the best way to express dominance and leadership to your dog is usually by combining an understanding of his natural behaviour and instincts with your natural abilities and advantages, rather than by getting down with him and pretending to be a dog, which he knows and understands you are not.
millitntanimist, your example is good. Thank you.
But from what I mainly deal with and from what I see (shelter dogs mostly) is that the dogs may be loved to pieces, but the dog has not learnt to respect their handlers or other dogs. Respect is the biggest part of training, the dog must feel comfortable to have enough of this to trust the handler. Respect and Trust is the foundation to successfully train a dog and also overcome unwanted behaviour.
Alpha rolling a dog is NOT teaching the dog either of these very important ingredients. I personally think that the dog is belittled and therefore loses interest and respect for their owners.
After seeing what they teach kids in public school thanks to our academic elite and their twisted ideas, a degree is more like a badge of warning..."CAUTION: I have been exposed to liberal think tanks and excelled in regurgitating their social agenda"
Just my .02
With humans however it is not forgiven if they are roughed up. They become fearful and this can possibly flourish into other problem areas.
What dogs do to dogs, people cannot effectively pass on the same 'message'. It just will not work and infact can do more harm than good.
Just look at the expression on the dogs face if you do this. Also, look at the eyes, the tail and the legs.
Most dogs will almost take on the fetal position. Fear. Not respect.
I just feel too many people judge "positive only" trainers by the few people they see doing it incorrectly, or doing it poorly. The people doing it 'well" are often not out in public, they are world famous trainers, many working in zoos and aquaria, out of view. Or people like me and many of my online friends, who are in rescue or don't want to compete with dogs, so once again, out of the limelight. I rescue special needs dogs, only 2 of my 5 dogs are physically sound. One is elderly, and the other is a pit bull who still has potential if I want to use it. I was training the reactive dog for agility and he was diagnosed with luxating patella (both knees) so we'll have to go after som'thing different to show a reactive rescue can be trained with PR and still title.... sorry OT a bit.
dog never growls again, never bites
dog never growls and begins to bite without warning
the first one is a product of a dog that would have not biten anyway, and the second is a what you hear about on the news. "the dog bit without warning". To be honest, you did yourself a dangerous disservice. Your dog could have easily been in the second catagory.
as far as spanking. Not sure what to say to that. Do you know what "fallout" is? A method can "work" but thats not always the objective...there is falllout to punishment. Sure I can beat a dog with a brick (or a kid) to keep them quiet...OR I can reward them for being quiet when I ask. Both methods "work". But one has fallout.

I have to add in one thing about the way that other dogs correct one another.
A mother dog will correct her pups behaviour by pulling their ear, grabbing and holding a pup's snout ect. This is because she's a dog and she knows her pups, and sometimes a mother dog will accidently kill her pups (I've read about it and heard it).
Dogs communicate the only way they know how, physically. If they could talk it out in complex terms and use devices and such, they probably would correct other dogs in another way. But they can't so they are doing what is natural to them, using the only body parts they can (teeth and body).
We're humans, there's a better way to train and it's been proven to be much more effective. But if you want the "quick fix" then people can jab and poke their dogs, don't go crying and saying "it was out of nowhere!" when he or she finally bites you in defense.
(dramatic sigh) lol
As I previously wrote,
With a rescue dog I did nothing but love on it, THAT was the dog that went for the throat of a child with no warning.
With a dog that I had since a pup, I growled in his throat and he got the message there was no negotiation about growling at my infant...and (gasp) he was smart enough to figure out that included actual attacks...
With the incredibly smart monster dog that I have now, it was scarey to try that on him, I agree it was risky (which someone else wisely wrote) but so far it's worked again. As for that being "fear" and not "respect", I disagree again, because he doesn't behave in fear of me at all, but he appears to know his limits (so far)
heh, if I start typing like thjiis, tjhenm we'lkl knooow I placced a badd bet....
Jen, do you have an overall leadership program of other things you do as well with your dog?
Free-fed, meals, or earn-every bite?
Dishes left down when empty or picked up?
Who eats first, you or him?
Where does he eat?
Is he allowed in the dining/food prep/food storage areas?
Where does he sleep?
Is he allowed in the house/certain rooms/on furniture?
Who goes first through a doorway, gate, hall, stairs?
Which part of his body is beside you during a leash-walk?
Who decides when it's playtime/walktime?
Do you play tug? If yes, who wins? Are tug toys left out between games?
Does he fetch? How well?
Do you play rough games like wrestling?
Does he show any resistance to grooming/hugging/restraint?
Do you ever let him sit on your feet?
Sit directly in front of you?
Shove you physically or get you to sidle over to avoid tripping over him?
Demand affection?
Free-fed, meals, or earn-every bite? Free fed
Dishes left down when empty or picked up? uh...refilled
Who eats first, you or him? LOL you're kidding right? me
Where does he eat? in the front hallway away from the kitchen
Is he allowed in the dining/food prep/food storage areas? nope
Where does he sleep? He's a monster, wherever he wants! (but not on furniture or the bed)
Is he allowed in the house/certain rooms/on furniture? Whole house, not furniture, only when I'm home
Who goes first through a doorway, gate, hall, stairs? they do
Which part of his body is beside you during a leash-walk? I sled/bike them
Who decides when it's playtime/walktime? me
Do you play tug? If yes, who wins? Are tug toys left out between games? Nope, he and bell have pull toys between each other
Does he fetch? How well? Nope, and not bred for it
Do you play rough games like wrestling? Heck no, he's too big
Does he show any resistance to grooming/hugging/restraint? When I put his harness on to pull the sled/bike, he's so excited he can hardly hold still but it's not resistance.
Do you ever let him sit on your feet? nope, he's too big
Sit directly in front of you? sure
Shove you physically or get you to sidle over to avoid tripping over him? nope, he knows to not get in my way
Demand affection? Do you mean sit near me to get attention and petted? sure. I give him tons.Okay so...(grin) how'd I do?
Actually? The only person who can give you a score is you! Just from reading the questions, you probably have a pretty good idea what the "right" answers are. What we are doing is showing your dog that you are the dominant/leader member of the family (and remember ALL humans including very small ones should outrank all dogs) and that you control the things he values.
The worst scenarios are when someone gives all the "right" answers but has a very badly behaved dog, or when they are unwilling to make any changes. Most people will give a combination of "right" and "wrong" answers, and are willing to change some, but not all of what they are doing. The worse your dog's behaviour is, the more of these you should do. Many dogs go through stages either due to maturity, or due to life changes like a new home or new family member, "act out" at those times, and need a reminder of who's in charge.
The answer to my question is yes, you are doing other leadership things with your dog!
If you have any behaviour problems now or in the future, do some or all these suggestions for a week or two, or even permanently:
Food doesn't fall out of heaven or grow out of empty bowls. It is earned, piece by piece, in exchange for work, or given, at human-decided mealtimes, to polite dogs. Yes, they know you eat first, and they care. Good neutral spot for them to eat. Good keeping them out of your food areas.
Keeping him out of the bedroom (and ideally out of respect for you, not just from a closed door) is a possibility. People whose dogs are outdoors only or only in the porch or one room tend to have fewer problems, for some dogs that's a possibility. Off the furniture is good. Dogs allowed on the furniture could be grounded (literally!) for a while and they do respond to that.
You should go first, when possible, through a doorway, gate, hall, stairs and there should be no pushing and shoving. Leash-training and leash-practice can help with respect. I would have the shoulder (small dogs), neck (medium dogs) or skull (large dogs) beside your leg. Behind that but not lagging to the end of the leash is fine too, unless you are in an obedience ring. You should be able to turn without pulling on the leash or tripping on your dog - this only happens if he's paying attention to you and respecting your choice of which direction to go. Exercise with a harness and sled/bike is fine, providing he is trained to turn/stop/slow when asked.
Games like tug, fetch, and wrestling are not necessary, but if you do play them, you need to win every time, and play/quit when you decide. This is often an issue with small kids, who tend to lose.
You should be able to touch and restrain your dog everywhere, such as feet, ears, nose, and in every position, such as him lying down, without a problem because (1) you are the leader and get to do whatever you want and (2) you are trustworthy and would never hurt him. (Not all dogs believe that of their owners, even if it is true.) Allowing him to dance around when you are putting on the harness is your choice. If you are getting frustrated with it, or if you want others to be able to put it on him, teach him to stand nicely for it.
Personal space is the most important aspect, but it is also the most difficult to assess without actually seeing you and him interact. Most people need a lot of improvement in this area. I think but can't promise you that you are already doing fairly well... so for now I'll leave you with the vague instruction, personal space is very important!
So my assessment?
(1) You are doing a lot of things that support your role as the leader, AND
(2) You have a lot of things that you could change if you want now, or want in the future to change his behaviour.
What is your assessment?
Of course it comes down to credibility. You would be a lot more credible if you weren't using the internet. A tool invented by those academic elites and their twisted ideas.
Besides, this is an example of the post hoc fallacy.

There is what works for your dog/cat/hedgehog. And, as all good scientists know, there are actually very few empirical "knowns" ~ when it comes to behaviour, cognition and training of animals or people for that matter. We as a species barely understand how our own brains work physically, let alone how we can communicate with and understand how our companions think and feel.
There is nothing "magical" about training animals folks unless you are have something to gain by it. So lets stop putting this into the realm of Adler and Skinner. This is a pet forum for real people. All your chit-chat (yes I'z being sarcastic ~ surprize!) about P+ and P- is marvey-doo (more of that goll-dang sarcasm...) but not helpful unless I'm interested in becoming an animal behaviourist.
Though I have to admit I did enjoy thinking about the post hoc fallacy thingy.

Auto Doctor: Car's blue smoke usually indicates oil leak
Dear Doctor: I have a 2004 Toyota Camry with 69,000 miles. I recently had it serviced for blue smoke coming out the exhaust on the first start of the day. They replaced the PVC valve, however, I still see the smoke each morning. What should I do next? -- Don
Dear Don: The blue smoke indicates oil that has entered the cylinders. The most common fault is oil leaking through the valves via seals or guides. You can try switching to high-mileage oil, even though you have less than 70,000 miles. I would not advise spending money on a cylinder head overhaul.
Dear Doctor: I'd like your input on the 2010 Toyota Corolla XRS with the 2.4L engine. I know that when new these cars were hard to find at dealerships. My son wants to get one, but most of them are out of state and still holding a high price used. Is there anything we should look for on these cars? We found one in Pennsylvania with 17,000 miles on it. He wants the 5-speed automatic -- is this a good tranny? -- Patrick
Dear Patrick: Prices usually reflect supply-and-demand on just about everything, and this includes vehicles. If this is the car he wants, then he will have to the pay the market price. I have a couple of customers with this car, manual-transmission-equipped. I have replaced clutches on these cars and the transmissions do have a good track record.
Dear Doctor: My 2004 Chrysler Town & Country Platinum Series often stalls after a fuel fill-up. After filling it up, I start the engine, let it run a few minutes, turn it off and repeat before driving away. Sometimes this works other times it has stalled when driving. My dealer has flushed the fuel lines several times to no avail. It has been suggested it might be "vapor lock." What else can I do? -- Beverly
Dear Beverly: There is no question that when the tank is full unwanted gas is getting to the engine via the evaporative emission system. The technician needs to check all parts involved with the system. He will find the specifications needed on both Alldata and Identifix.
Dear Doctor: I've had several problems on my 2005 Lexus RX 330: 1.) The transmission does not shift smoothly at 40 mph and under; 2.) It feels as though there is something holding the car back; 3.) The transmission has been changed twice, but I still have the shift problem. Any suggestions? -- Ron
Dear Ron: Without actually feeling the shift complaint it's hard for me to suggest a fix. I recommend you go to a good local -- not a big franchise -- transmission shop and get their opinion on your complaint.
Dear Doctor: I'm a retired woman looking for a new car that I can keep for 10 years. I like the Kia Sorento and the Subaru Forester. What's your take on it? My main concerns are safety, mileage, warranty, and service. I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima with only 84,000 miles in very good condition. What should I expect to be offered? -- Elaine
Dear Elaine: I really like the Subaru Forester. I spent a week in the new Forester lineup -- in both the turbo and non-turbo versions -- and was very impressed. This SUV with all-wheel-drive has grown up in a very nice way. There is plenty of head room and it was easy to get in and out of during my time with it. I would not do a trade-in on your Maxima -- it's too old for most dealers to put on the lot and retail it. You would do best to sell the Nissan privately. Any cash price of $2,500 or more is good.
Dear Doctor: When starting my 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer I realized I had left on the fan control and it would not shut off -- even when I shut off the engine. My repairman replaced the blower motor resistor and recommended to change the blower motor as well. What should I do if the blower won't go off and I can't get to a repairman? Will my battery go dead? -- George
Dear George: Your vehicle, if equipped with the automatic fan control, has a faulty blower control module. The module has power when the ignition key is turned in the off position. When it fails the blower motor will get power and this will kill the battery. -- Junior Damato, Motor Matters

In the 30 years of it's formal history, the American Indian Movement (AIM) has given witness to a great many changes. We say formal history, because the movement existed for 500 years without a name. The leaders and members of today's AIM never fail to remember all of those who have traveled on before, having given their talent and their lives for the survival of the people.

Wes Dyer and Jeffrey Van Gogh: Rx Virtual Time
The latest release of Rx includes new tools for testing reactive programs as well as virtual scheduling. In this video, Jeffrey
and Wes discuss virtual time and virtual schedulers and how they can be used to write tests and query historical data.
What is virtual time, exactly? What purpose does it serve and how is it related to reality? Wait a century-second. What time is it? When?
As usual, Wes and Jeff go deep. Dive in with us. This is heady stuff and also really useful for practical programming with Rx. It's always great to spend some time with Wes and Jeff at the whiteboard and at the computer (they demo this for us towards the end of the session).

The Discussion
Just like any other co-ordinate system can the virtual time convert to decimal, binary time or 13 month year time system? Covariance and contra-variance over time; nice. Where to plug-in the landmarks? At the extension points?
Awesome, finally understand how Scheduler.Now is used, when I first saw that in Rx I knew you guys were using (or planning on using) virtual time but there seemed to be no documentation anywhere on the subject. Thanks for the explanation guys, extremely useful. Eagerly waiting on your unit tests so that I can start writing my asynchronous unit tests like that!
I just realised I can write unit tests that simulate "hot" observables that I don't normally have control over i.e. mouse moves etc, I can replace the original source with a mock observable that raises events a pre-determined times and pushes them through a virtual scheduler. Excellent!
I was hoping for a tutorial or video on the scheduling aspects of Rx because they remained a mystery for me, so thanks. Please do release the test code!
Thanks for sharing! I've still not spent the time with Rx I've been meaning to. :-/
you would create a scheduler that derives from VirtualScheduler, give it two type parameters that implement the absolute and relative part of your notion of time. For this to work, your notion of time will need to be able to :
- Convert your notion of absolute time to DateTimeOffset
- Convert TimeSpan to your notion of relative time
- Increment your notion of absolute time with your notion of relative time to produce a new instance of your notion of absolute time.
https://blogs.msdn.com/b/jeffva/archive/2010/08/27/testing-rx.aspx contains sample code, that hopefully will give you a headstart. We're working on getting our tests shipping as well, but will take a bit more time..
getting "Do you want to download this file" prompt (IE) when clicking "Play" to watch the video...
nevermind - working now.
Great stuff, thanks a lot.

Grand Theft Auto V frequently captures the look, vibe and vehicles of the best California-based crime fiction. If you so desire, it's not too difficult to hop into a CHiPs motorcycle or a Joy Ride truck and recreate your favourite cinematic scenes. Can you name all the references in this new video from CinemaSins?
I did ok with their first one, but a few of these were too obscure for me.
From their video description, the full list of references is:
0:09 Back to the Future
0:21 The Great Food Truck Race
0:36 Joy Ride
0:50 Castaway
1:01 Jackass
1:27 CHiPs
1:42 Groundhog Day
2:02 Street Hawk
2:19 Transformers
2:37 Smokey & The Bandit
2:59 Goodfellas
3:10 Sneakers
3:20 Star Trek (2009)
3:33 Airwolf
3:52 The Matrix
4:27 & 4:37 Breaking Bad
That reminds me, I kinda want to rewatch The Matrix.

The three nuclear power plants in North Carolina have each reported at least 90 safety violations since 2000.
The Government Accountability Office report obtained by The Associated Press shows that the McGuire plant near Charlotte reported 119 lower--level violations and one higher-level violation from 2000 to 2012. The Brunswick plant near Wilmington reported 93 lower-level violations and five high-level violations, while the Harris plant near Raleigh had 90 lower-level violations and four higher-level violations.
Lower-level violations pose very low risk, such as improper upkeep of a transformer, while higher-level violations range in significance, such as an electrical system that caused a fire.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report before its release.

Considerations for dance music mastering
Dance music is split into a number of genres and sub genres so it covers quite a wide range of music such as house, garage, trance, dubstep, drum and bass, techno, breakbeat and electropop. A good mastering engineer should be capable of mastering music in any genre. His or her experience should be all encompassing, being able to understand enough about all genres and how they should sound. Most mastering engineers will have their own internal references and intimate knowledge about their mastering set up. This gives the engineer a high chance of satisfying clients needs across a wide range of genres.

AMERICUS - The Georgia Southwestern men's soccer team fought back from a late second-half deficit to force overtime on Wednesday afternoon at Hurricane Field only to have Talladega College deliver the decisive goal in the 102nd minute to earn the victory, 2-1.
Jose Luis Rodriguez, who ranks second in NAIA and fifth in goals scored, was the hero for the TC as he punched in both scores for the Tornadoes.
Rodriguez's first score came at the 54 minute mark when he dribbled through the GSW defense and beat goalkeeper Ryan Tucker to the right side to notch his 20th goal of the season.
Moments later Tucker made a game-changing save when he dove to his right and denied a penalty kick by Augustos Maciel.
GSW capitalized on the opportunity to pull even in the match.
Joshua Manga delivered the game-tying score for the Hurricanes in the 66th minute when he dribbled through the Talladega defense and scorched a shot to the upper right corner from 18 yards out for his third goal of the fall.
With the momentum, GSW had a couple of good looks late to win the match in regulation.
Charlie Curran hit the crossbar in the 87th minute and James Romaniw placed a corner kick in front of the keeper with 10 seconds remaining, but Manga's header curled over the top of the goal.
Turns out that would be the Hurricanes' final shot of the match as GSW did not take a shot in either overtime session.
Rodriguez's 21st goal of 2012 would prove to be the game-winner. Rodriguez took the pass from Kenrick Preston 1:40 into the second overtime and struck a low shot that rolled past Tucker into the left corner of the goal.
The Hurricanes fall to 2-13-1 overall. Talladega improves to 12-4.
Talladega led GSW in shots on goal, 9-2, but the Hurricanes held the Tornadoes well under their goals per game average (4.21) which ranks third in NAIA.
The Hurricanes held a 9-6 advantage in corner kicks with all nine taken in the second half.
Tucker saved seven for GSW. Di-Stephano Occil stopped one for the Tornadoes.
Southwestern closes out the season on Saturday when it hosts Palm Beach Atlantic on Senior Day at 3:30 p.m.

Darren Aronofsky's ``The Wrestler'' is a devastatingly poignant look at not just an athlete, but a person who – like all of us – is suddenly coming to the realization that he's no longer what he used to be.
No one appreciates pro wrestling's lusty combination of showmanship, story and character better than movie folk. Besides a sacred obligation to make the fake look real, the two entities share an insatiable thirst for the dramatic, a commitment to spectacle that fuels an obsessive need to always top themselves.
That's why it's always struck me as odd that Hollywood has been so reticent about portraying these hulking Adonises of bravado and brawn. I secretly suspect it's because it's nary impossible to write a movie that could possible match, let alone exceed, the thrill of a live bout.
Or at least that's what I believed until I walked out of Darren Aronofsky's ``The Wrestler,'' a devastatingly poignant look at not just an athlete, but a person who – like all of us – is suddenly coming to the realization that he's no longer what he used to be.
Mickey Rourke is also such a man, a matinee idol from the 1980s whose reckless lifestyle has taken a heavy toll both physically and professionally, rendering him virtually washed up.
But unlike Randy ``The Ram'' Robinson, the regret-filled, broken-hearted musclehead he so hauntingly plays, Rourke is a survivor, an actor who silently absorbs his unfair share of lumps only to repeatedly emerge from the dark.
He did it with ``Sin City,'' and he's doing it again and doing it even better in ``The Wrestler,'' a film so utterly perfect for him that it's difficult to sort out whether it's life imitating art or art imitating life.
Like Rourke, Randy has burned one too many bridges, scorched too many hearts and severed too many bonds. He's old, alone and suddenly coming to the realization there's a fast-approaching expiration date if he doesn't hurry up and reinvent himself.
Randy's up against the ropes and taking a pounding from the landlord who wants his rent, the boss (Todd Barry) at the A&P who demands he tuck his Samson-like golden locks in a hairnet, and the estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) who won't let him forget what a jerk he was when she was small and he was the biggest wrestler in the world.
His only salvation is Marisa Tomei's Cassidy, an aging stripper who dances around the indignities of her profession by trying to convince herself that it's her only means to support her fatherless son. The reality, though, is that she's just like Randy, thrilled by the roar of the crowd and hungry for the need to know she's bringing pleasure to those who watch her perform.
Tomei fearlessly tackles her role with a quiet intensity that shakes you to the bone and leaves you rooting intently for she and Randy to emerge from their downward spirals. But will they do it together as a couple?
Aronofsky and writer Robert Seigel tease you with the prospect, while also creating a similarly convincing case that a romance based on co-dependency could be the equivalent of the time Randy's sweet, but sadistic, opponent emptied a staple gun into his body.
Ditto for Randy's attempts to reconnect with his daughter. Is what we want and wish for really what's right for the people involved? That's just one of the many mind games ``The Wrestler'' so slyly plays on you, as it leaves you laughing uproariously one minute and weeping the next.
Those contrasting emotions are ``The Wrestler's'' heart and soul. But the film is just as much a fascinating journey behind the scenes of pro wrestling, a world few of us ever get to see. And it's nothing like you'd think, either, as your mind struggles to comprehend how the opponent who literally wants to kill you in the ring will be the first one to die for you outside of it. It's a compelling sort of camaraderie that's strangely beautiful.
Just like the movie, an amalgamation of ugliness and grace that locks you in its hold and never lets go.
THE WRESTLER (R for intense violence, nudity, sexual situations and language.) Cast includes Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. Directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Swimsuit trends: Fringe factor, cut-outs and more
It's a cross between go-go dancer and a Western rocker.
The bathing suit of the season undulates when you move and is selling well in stores, despite some fashion types thinking it's a bit -- well -- questionable.
That would be the fringe bikini. "Fringe is one of the hottest styles," says Bloomingdale's fashion director Susan Marasco, pointing to music festivals like Coachella, "where the uniform is a fringe bathing suit top with cutoffs."
But fringe can be really hard to pull off, says style expert Jacqui Stafford, author of "The Wow Factor: Insider Style Secrets," ($25, Gotham). "When it comes to real women, it draws the eye to exactly the part of the body where the fringe is." The message? If you're hippy, don't wear it on the bottom, and if you're buxom and trying to be discreet, avoid it on the top.
"It's a young thing," adds Adam Glassman, creative director of O, the Oprah Magazine. "If you're old enough to have worn it the first time around, then you might look like you're trying too hard this time. It could look 'Real Housewives,' and not in a good way."
Fear the fringe? There are many other fresh style options for the season. Bloomingdale's Marasco says the return of the one-piece as a seasonal swim statement is "huge," with styles that include graphic prints, new textures such as crochet and "playful cutouts, laser cuts, slits on the side -- it's all very modern." And, along with a vibrant color story, find plenty of black and white, which matches right up with the ready-to-wear trend.
In the world of two pieces, retro structured bralettes are plucked straight from the runway, often paired with a newer, more modest bottom. Overall, says Marasco, "the bandeau top is one of the bestselling silhouettes. It's very versatile and comes with a v-wire, flutter, ruffle and in sporty styles."
"Women are looking at swimwear more and more as they do apparel," says Kay-Lin Richardson, sales director of Panache, the British swimwear and lingerie company.
Are you ready to take the plunge?
"It's a traumatic experience, isn't it?," asks Adam Glassman, creative director at O, the Oprah Magazine, referring to the project of swimsuit shopping. Yes, Adam. Yes, it is. He offered a few tips to help ease the pain of the process when you're not exactly a Victoria's Secret model.
1. Be prepared to devote a little time. You don't always find the right one on the first try.
2. Wear a little makeup, get a bikini wax, try to look a little cute, it will be less traumatic that way.
3. Remember that size varies and your dress size is not always your swimsuit size. Don't be put off by going up one or even two sizes.
4. Properly adjust all tops, straps and ties before making a decision.
5. Take the "towel test" -- pick up something from the floor and if anything pops out, pouches or bags when you bend down to pick it up, don't buy that suit.
Cut-outs are a huge trend, but you need to be careful, warns style expert Jacqui Stafford. If it's too tight, you could get a bulge -- she recommends buying one size up.
