Getting Your Excited Dog Out The Door. Calmly
So I've had an almost perfect German Shepherd for 7 year now. Well, she started off crazy, but she's been almost perfect for a few years, lol. My only complaint about her is how excited she gets running out the door, which then leads to barking in my yard. Hello? I'm THE Quiet Dog Daycare Lady! This has been a source of embarrassment for me, my dirty little secret… But enter my new mentor/advisor/friend, Nelson Hodges of the Canine Human Relationship Institute & he has given me a road map for success. Of course if someone came to me with this problem, I probably would have given the same advice! Yet, like most things, it's easier to give advice than to live it.
So what was his advice? Here it goes step by painfully slow step…
Step 1: Plan at least a half hour for this first day. Start to get ready to take the dog out.
Step 2: Notice dog gets excited. Sit down.
Step 3: Dog thinks you have changed your mind. Stand up & proceed with your routine.
Step 4: Dog bounces up again, you sit down.
Step 5: Dog thinks you have changed your mind. Stand up & proceed with your routine.
See where I'm going with this? Notice I didn't once say "give your dog a command". This is a huge part of the process- DO NOT SAY A WORD TO YOUR DOG. Don't even look at him. All you are doing is putting on your jacket, sitting down, picking up your sneaker, sitting down, taking a step towards the door, sitting down, grabbing the leash, sitting down, opening the crate door, sitting down. OK, you get my point.
The first day will be the hardest, so again, plan on taking 30 minutes to do this. Each day will get easier, I guarantee it. Here are my dogs after 10 days of this routine. Note: I did not tell them to lay down. They are just getting so bored with me stopping, they decided to take a nap as I got my act together!
This is how you start the walk off calmly, so they don't charge out the door & THEN try to settle them down. Do this daily & you will notice a huge improvement on your dog's reactivity on the walks. I promise.

Does Your Dog Fence Fight?
If your dog fence fights, it can be very frustrating. The best way to deal with it is to practice a solid recall, i.e. the come command. Once you can recall your dog off a small distraction, let's say tossing a kibble or toy & having him come to you instead of the item you tossed, you are well on your way. (I don't recommend balls to start as they bounce for too long, proving a more intense distraction)
For the best results I would use a remote collar, an "e-collar" to achieve this goal. An e-collar is like tapping someone on the shoulder to get their attention when they are tuning you out. Their levels can go up to 100, but we usually train on around 5, which most people can't even feel. Although you can buy these online, I recommend you get professional training if you go with this tool. They can either help or hurt your dog. The way we pair them with food on a low setting, the dog feels a tiny tingle, is conditioned to look at you when he feels it, then gets the food reward. Within minutes he's looking at you with every little tap he feels excited to get food.
Once we teach the dog the tap of the e-collar means "look at me, come to me", we can start adding distractions. Again, I'd start off with tossing a kibble, like I did in this session with Apollo today. This is his first e-collar lesson on his second day of training:
If you can add a layer of click/reward when the dog comes back to you, great. I get that you only have so many hands. I actually worked for months on the e-collar with my dog before I picked up the clicker. I don't know if I would have gotten the attention from him without it. But I'll never know. He was/is a very challenging dog.
Anyway, once your dog is paying attention to you, coming to his name instead of chasing a kibble or toy, change it to a ball you toss. Either tap the ecollar to get his attention and/or click/feed when he comes back. You really need to understand our Work4Food Program before you start. He needs to be hungry, motivated to work. If his belly is full, he will be less inclined to pay attention to you. We want him to have that "broke & hungry. will work for food" mindset. If you can't get him food motivated, the only other option for obedience is force, yanking him on that leash. We're trying to avoid that.
So, if you can now switch over to the clicker & do the NAME/click/feed in a quiet setting. Call him to you "Buddy, Come" backing up with the leash- click for compliance & give him a kibble. Do this in a quiet setting. Then a more challenging setting. Once your dog is bombproof everywhere else, now work near a fence, where no dog is on the other side. NAME/click/feed near the fence with no dog….closer to the fence with no dog…..now do it with a calm dog on the other side of the fence (if you can find that needle in a haystack), at a distance your dog can handle. When your dog can pay attention to you at the fence of a calm dog, "Buddy, come" click/kibble….now increase the proximity, stopping when you lose control. Back up the progress when he gets too worked up. When you can call him away from the fence of a calm dog, now go back & do it with an excitable/aggressive dog. Start at a safe distance & work your dog's threashhold. Get his attention "buddy, come" backing up, tugging the leash, click/kibble. When he can handle this distance, increase proximity.
This is a tough goal. The more you practice this, the better. I spent a solid week + feeding my dog only in the car for not flipping out when he saw a person/dog/cat. If you make the time & be patient & consistent, you can achieve great things!

Clicker Training for Dog Reactivity
How I got Annyong past charging at dogs in the car.
It used to be people too. I got past the people & then it was just dogs he would react to. Now it's just cats & we are making huge strides. I mean mind-blowing speed huge strides, not just the "we're working on it" lip service I often hear. I've been using a clicker. Yes, you heard it right, a clicker. I know people say verbal markers work as good & you always have your voice (I used to say this too). But I feel the clarity & consistency of the clicker sound to be so unique, that that is why it is so much more effective.

Will Work For Food
Assuming you are not independently wealthy, I imagine you have a job that puts food on the table. If you don't go to work, you don't get paid. And if you are broke & hungry, you are more motivated to get a job, right? But what about your dog? I bet he could in essence flip you off when you call him from barking at that dog (i.e. ignore you) & you would still feed him. But what if you didn't? What if you started using his food- his meals, not steak, to get his attention & obedience? Sound crazy? Keep reading.
So my 7 year old German Shepherd, Ziva, was never "food motivated". I had problems, especially when she was younger, overriding her desire to lunge & bark at people walking past our fenced in yard. No food would be more important to her than that. I scoffed at food training as a joke. I would put her kibble down & she would fast until I added some wet to entice her to eat. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to this. But then I took this weekend workshop with Duke Ferguson a year or so back. It changed my life. I'm not as hardcore & intense as Duke. Precision is not my priority. I just want a dog that will listen when I say his name or give a command (which I give very few) & not make a fool of me…
So now, instead of feeding her in a bowl, I put her meal in my pocket & give her kibbles all day long. Now I can call her from a mile away & she'll come running for a kibble. Yes, a kibble. Why? I assume for one thing, it's more fun & engaging for her. It's like a game "how do I get that kibble?". I think she also likes the stronger bond we now have. I'm paying more attention to her doing this program. She was an awesome dog before this, but now is damn near perfect.
Fast forward a year…So I recently acquired a new German Shepherd, 2 year old Annyong, from a client. He came with a litany of issues: lunging at my cat with bad intent, scaling a fence to attack another dog (that was before he was mine), barking & lunging at people while driving, ten thousand times worse if they have a dog. He looked & sounded like the Tasmanian Devil when dropping off my daughter at school. He was such an embarrassment, especially as a trainer. I kept having to tell people "I just got him. Please don't jude me on this dog!".
By using this Work4Food program, I've been able to overcome all of these issues at about 90% currently- which is huge! Considering he was one of the craziest dogs I've ever met (and I've been working dogs going on 17 years). He has been with me about 5 months now & I think another month from now he'll be at 99% recovery. Just yesterday I was able to drop my daughter off at school & he was quiet in the drop off. That right there is a minor miracle. And just this morning he ran after the cat, but instead of sounding like the hounds of hell, he was quiet & excited, almost like he wanted to play. The cat didn't run either, which was a good sign he didn't feel danger either. I've never been able to record any "before" video because it took all of my energy to contain him & prevent him from doing any harm. So just trust me on this ok? Think of your dog's worst day, make your dog a crazy Shepherd with bad blood lines & that's my dog. 😉
So here is what I want you to try: put your dog's next meal (just dry) in your pocket, or on the counter in a bowl. He's not to get the food unless he looks you in the eye when you say his name. Try it for a week both meals. Say his name, he looks you in the eye, give him a kibble. Now if you can do this all day, all the better. The more you do this & dragging it out, the better your results. Now if you have a large dog (i.e. a LOT of kibble) you can give in handfuls rather than one at a time. But remember the more you do this the better the results. Do this for a week, starting off in a quiet setting, then maybe your backyard, and as time goes on, start doing this in more challenging settings. If you dog ignores you, don't feed him. He'll listen when he's hungry enough. I asked my vet & she said most dogs could refuse to eat for a couple of days without her being concerned, as many dogs are overweight like their owners! (me too, so I'm not picking on you!).
Bonus advice: Never say your dog's name in conversation. ONLY say it when you expect him to drop everything & look at you (you will then give a kibble). This is my protocol & you can see the results here in this video. I have conditioned my dog to respond to his name with such precision by doing this method that he heard his name in conversation & came running to me!

May I Pet Your Dog? Let's Ask The Dog!
I get this all the time, as I'm sure you do too. "Can I pet your dog? Is your dog friendly?"
Today as my daughter played on the playground with her friends one of them ran up to me, not even going to ask me if she could touch my dog. I stopped her & told her he wasn't friendly. This stopped her dead in her tracks- mission accomplished. She turned and went back to the slide. I said to her a few minutes later she could say hi to him, that I was only trying to make her think before running up to a dog that he may not be friendly. I gave her a bit of advice I give to all my new employees "think of every dog here as going to bite you". I told her I didn't want her to be afraid of dogs, just more cautious.
Then I told her to stand still, take a deep breath & hold her hand out for my dog to sniff her. He didn't. He was too interested in looking at everything else. So I told her to wait a minute to see if he'd sniff her hand. He finally noticed her & sniffed her hand. I then instructed her to touch him with one hand only. I said to never use two hands, as it can be too confining to a dog. He was fine with her touching him & she ran off on her merry way, hopefully a bit wiser, but I doubt it. She is, after all, only 7.
This brings to mind a question I ask in my weekend classes. What are the 2 main reasons a dog bites? Answer: offense & defense. Which dogs bite more? Answer: defense. Why? Because most people are smart enough not to reach their hand out to a snarling dog!
Meanwhile, if a dog looks scared or shy like this, we feel bad & think they need to be comforted. Not the case!
We want the dog to WANT to be touched too! If you went up to a person to say hi & they backed up- they are saying they want to be left alone, right? Well these looks are saying the same message in dog language! The dog is saying "I'm unsure of you & want to be left alone". The best way to make friends with a dog like this? LISTEN TO HIM! Respect him! Give him space & by all means don't reach your hands out to invade his personal space. If you love dogs, you must think of their needs & wishes & you should want to keep their record clean! Don't give a dog a bite history that didn't have one. Did you know that 85% of dog bites are from human error? -I'm making this number up, but it's probably in that ball park 😛
Here is my flow chart for whether or not a dog wants to be touched:

Does Your Dog Bark At People In Your Car? Mine Does!
So Annyong has been with us 4 months this weekend. He's doing SO GOOD! Except…he still FREAKS out when we're in the car & he sees someone too close to the car, especially if he sees a dog. He's a lot better I've noticed, even in the last week. He's not as reactive & he doesn't react to "every" person.
It wasn't long ago Ziva (who was another owner surrender 7 years ago this week!) was the same. She would bark like crazy at anything in the car. She used to have to be cross-tied to drive anywhere, as she would run around the car barking. God, I don't miss those days.
Anyway, today I had Annyong on the day care floor for about 5 hours, where he played & got out a lot of energy. I then took him to a walk at Nelson Park in Plymouth, one of my favorite places to take dogs. There is always a good amount of distraction there between adults, kids at the playground & always dogs- LEASHED dogs. It's imperative that you avoid what you can't control (off leash dogs charging you) & train for what you can control. I walked him around the park & saw plenty of dogs & people. He handled it better than expected. He looked really good from the start, so when he did see a trigger (another dog), he was easily distracted & controlled. He looked like this at the START of the walk (important not to go anywhere until your dog is under control):
So when we actually saw a dog this his how easy it was to control him:
Soooooo…. now that he was good & tired & in a good frame of mind, I thought I would try to work him at a gas station. Well, I needed gas, so instead of putting it off, I went for it. With my trusty sidekick, Isabella, we did it! She kept him focused on her with food while we got gas. He did light up a little as you can see, however this is NOTHING compared to how uncontrollable he was. It was beyond embarrassing! So if we do this often, a few times a week, sit in a busy parking lot & feed him his meals, we can desensitize him toward the people passing by. Stay tuned!

Want Your Dog To Behave Better For Your Children?
Try this….Have your kid practice commands with him. First obviously he needs to listen & obey you. But then pass the torch to your kid! My daughter is enjoying the training as she likes to be involved. She is noticing the dog is listening to her better than ever, which helps keep her interested in it. Now she asks to do this every meal.
She is feeding him a kibble at a time, by hand, just like our program says. She gives a command, he obeys, she gives him a kibble. She has the leash on him in case he doesn't listen. He's now listening to her almost as well as he listens to me. Even I'm amazed. <3
The Magic of the "Place" Command for Separation Anxiety
I'm still working on Annyong's separation anxiety. He panics when someone leashes him up to take him away from me. And he barks like crazy when I leave the house. He's fine in a crate when I'm in the house.
So I'm practicing keeping him in a "place" command. A place command is a specific area with boundaries he must stay in. It's like a crate without walls. Place is just like a very advanced "STAY" on a specific "thing". It is great to practice keeping a dog in place to settle him down. I'm using this to keep him in place while I walk away & leave the room. Look at the difference in his eyes in each picture.
If you want to use this, once the Practice this daily for a few minutes a day, adding distraction, duration & distance (one at a time). The slower you ask more from your dog, the more you set the dog up for success rather than failure. We want to teach a lot, for a long time- lots of positive reinforcement & food before we start to correct a dog for doing something we don't want. We need to be fair to the dog.
I'm actually using a nap mat for kids, but most dog trainers use a Kuranda, which is a lot more durable. You can even use his blanket, bed or even just a towel. It just needs 4 sides he can't leave until he hears the magic word "break". Challenge him (when he is ready!) with bouncing a ball, tossing food, having the kids run past him, knocking on the wall or door, ringing the doorbell…. Another one of my favorite tricks is to play the sounds in this Dog Sounds App.
The more often you "place" your dog & the longer you build on it, he will chill out & be less anxious. Keep on it & eventually he looks like this:
Proof Our Program Works!
So here is my 90 day update on my new dog, Annyong. Proof our program works. He has been on "probation" for 90 days in my house. He gets walked, socialized & trained every day. A little affection of course, but no excitement or freedom. He's been out of the crate more & more as time goes on, always on a drop leash. Now we are starting to trust him off leash. We still have to work him through his cat issue, but he is SO much better than even a month ago. The other day he ran into the house & went chasing the cat & I called him (no leash, no e-collar) & he came! I was very proud! He will still be on probation for many months I imagine as he learns how to behave in the house. And learning he has to listen to me when I say his name. The more he listens/obeys/behaves, the longer he is out of the crate.
I think most dog owners fail their dog by first not having high enough standards for their dogs. They start off giving the dog too much freedom & then try to (partially) reign him in when trouble ensues (which it always does). They think of the crate as a punishment tool & therefore use it reluctantly. They think of leashes & collars are only for when outside. The more we use these tools (crate, leash, e-collar) IN the home, the more conditioned our dogs are to listening/obeying us. The better behaved they are inside the more likely are to behave outside.
I'd like the APO (average pet owner) to start with the end in mind. What do you want from your dog? And WHY do you want it? I want my dog to listen to me 99% of the time I say his name or give him a command. I want my dog to not pester my older dog. I want my dog not to chase my cat. I want my dog not to pick up items & guard them. All these things are unacceptable to me. And because they are unacceptable I will not allow them. The big picture of having a well behaved dog is what you allow & what you disallow. I use these tools to teach him manners so he will be safe & not embarrass me. (he still embarrasses me often in public! but better than before & we are working on that!).
A new question I ask dog owners in my class is "how confident are you your dog would listen to you if he was running into traffic & you called him?" I'm 99% confident Ziva will listen to me even charging after a cat/skunk/motorcycle- it's happened & I have a lot of faith she will obey. I practice often with her. Annyong is NO WHERE NEAR THIS YET. But it is my goal. And he will get there someday soon. 🙂
Managing your crazy dog around company
Start by waiting to feed your dog just before company comes. He will be more interested in food if he is hungry. Before company arrives, start dropping kibble into the crate & then have company come in. (He should start off in crate or on leash). I prefer a crate.
As my dog started to light up I dropped his kibble into his crate as a distraction. "Here think about this instead." After a few minutes he was pretty calm. I continued to stand there dropping kibble, his whole meal.
After he was very chill I opened the crate to let him go out & greet my mother. (He had not met her yet). Normally I would recommend leashing a dog for this but I was being lazy! You can imagine if you wait until your dog is totally chill to let him greet company how much better mannered they will be. Any bad manners (jumping, barking) will be milder & more subdued. Of course if your dog is aggressive at all you shouldn't go this alone.

In a 4-1 vote Monday, the Gorham Fayette Board of Education voted not to seek renewal of a seven-mill operating levy that will expire at the end of the year. The decision led one board member to resign.
Board member Kim Winzeler wrote in a letter of resignation delivered yesterday that he believed "there are significant tax burden requirements for basic public education...in small towns. Small towns must absorb these tax burdens in Ohio." Winzeler cast the sole dissenting vote.
School superintendent David Hankins called the action "phase one" of the board's plan to return money to district taxpayers. Winzeler felt the issue should have been placed on the May ballot.

Kenalog in Orabase16 messages in this subject.
|This stuff is fantastic but how do we get hold of it in Ireland ?
|Jim 24 October 19
|Just a word of warning. I have used Kenalog successfully many times. But on the last occasion I used it on a what I assumed was an ulcer on the back left side of my tongue. What I though was an ulcer would not go away and turned out to be an SCC (cancer, big operations and RAD/Tomotherapy). Please if you have something in your mouth that does note heal after three weeks (UK Hand guidelines) see a specialist!
|Geoff 17 August 18
|Leah - yes you can use it on your tongue, the hardest thing about Kenalog is getting hold of it in the first place!
|Dom Walton 17 February 18
|Ive had a very sore ulcer on the side of my tongue & would like to know if I can use kenalog on it. Or is is meant just for the inside of the gums.
|Leah 17 February 18
|Can i use kenalog on the tounge?
|Meme 24 November 17
|I have suffered from sore areas on my tongue like little blisters, burning tingling sensation on surface of the tongue and sides of cheeks..Could be due to autoimmune system problem fibromialaga..have tried numerous products with no success...one day exasserperated I asked my doctor I could. Not bear this oral pain any longer on top of my other problems..She prescribed this Kenalog stuff, apply tiny bit only.....I tried it and noticed only after serveral treatments a relief I had not experienced for years..Why did she not prescribe it before.....the most minimal amount should be dabbed or patted on the area...or it will feel thick and yucky...
|Carmela Correale 15 August 17
|What is the longest shelf life of Kenalog?
|Elaine H. Bailey 19 April 17
|My wife has always suffered terribly from mouth ulcers, and Adcortyl in Orabase was the only treatment that provided relief. When UK production of it ceased some years ago, I started buying Kenalog, 6 tubes at a time, by importing it from New Zealand via the internet. However, it looks like there is now a limit of two tubes per order by the NZ authorities.
|R M Crorie 2 February 17
|Samantha Hartman as far as I'm aware it's not available in U.K. Or Irl, my sister recently purchased it in Indonesia and brought it home. Just started to use it on my daughter who suffers with terribly mouth ulcers and it's amazing
|Elaine O'Connor 18 December 16
|I have used this product with great success, that was years ago. I wondered if it is still by script
|Samantha Hartman 16 December 16
|Where can I get it from?
|joyce vonnor 4 January 14
|Like most everyone else on this site, I have suffered from mouth ulcers for most of my life. I have tried everything from silver nitrate to mouthwashes and rises with little or no success. A prescribed medication (Kenalog in Orabase) has worked astoundingly well for me. Kenalog is a low grade steroid that can be applied up to 3X per day. Ulcers that would linger for 2 weeks are usually gone in 4 to 5 days.
|bwb 29 May 07
|I found out Kenalog and Adcordyl is the same thing - just different brand names.
|Bigmax 24 May 03
|I have a partial lower denture and get ulcers in the bottom of my mouth under my tongue - ouch! I use Kenalog at night time and have found it good. Also use SM33 during the day for pain. I use Kenalog the same as Bigmax and find it good.
|Sandra 22 May 03
|Andrew, The Orabase is best applied at bed time only - when you wont be talking or eating etc. Apply with a cotton bud, dont rub in. Just cover the ulcer. Then hold the gum /lip away from teeth /tongue for a few seconds until it sets. As i said earlier, it is not so suitable for daytime use due to its sticky properties. It is designed to stick to the inside of the mouth and not wash away easily.
|Bigmax 20 May 03
|I have been getting mouth ulcers for as long as i can remember. I recently was informed by my doctor to try Kenalog. I picked it up from the chemmist thinking this must be a miracle cream that would finally stop the pain of my ulcers. Instead it caused more. I found once applied to the ulcers ( which are usually on my gum between my lip and front teeth) it caused excruciating pain...not because of it being applied, but it kinda sets like a concrete to my ulcers and lip, so when i move my mouth it pulls at the ulcer, and sometimes leaves a course residue that rubs against it...
To this day i still think salty water gargled, and an extra genourous blob of SM33 does the trick.

Crime alert issued for Mounds View
Many northern cities report a decrease in crime during the winter months. January's bitterly cold temperatures have not deterred criminals from breaking into homes in Mounds View, however, which has experienced an unusual uptick in burglaries since the holidays.
Mounds View Police Chief Tom Kinney said that more than a dozen burglaries have been reported in the city between the last week of December and Jan. 27.
Kinney said that the recent spike in home burglaries is out of the ordinary for Mounds View, which in recent years has averaged closer to five reported incidents per month.
Investigators are trying to determine if the crimes are related, but so far have not come up with any conclusions.
"We've recovered some DNA evidence from homes and are awaiting lab results," the police chief said. "Whether or not these crimes are connected isn't clear yet, but they do share a lot of similarities."
All of the recent burglaries have taken place while homeowners were gone — some for a few hours and some for days — and in all cases the intruders got inside the homes through forced entry.
The burglaries have occurred at all times of day and night and have been reported in the following areas: 2600 block of Lake Court Circle, 5100 block of Eastwood Road, 7700 block of Knollwood Drive, 7700 block of Groveland Road, 5300 block of Clifton Drive and the 7700 block of Bona Road.
Kinney said the items that have been reported stolen are mostly jewelry and TV's and other electronic items that can be pawned easily for quick cash. He said the police department tries to monitor sales of the stolen belongings at pawn shops, but said sales often go undetected, especially jewelry. Electronic items like TV's have serial numbers that they can sometimes track.
The recent spree of home invasions, at least right now, appears to be isolated to the four square miles or so that encompasses Mounds View. There has not been an increase in residential burglaries reported in neighboring communities.
Randy Gustafson, the public information officer for the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department, said that the seven cities their department serves – Arden Hills, Gem Lake , Little Canada, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township have seen normal numbers for theft and burglaries.
Cold temperatures are often a police department's ally in winter — curbing crimes that require people to head out and brave the cold.
Gustafson said that typically the number of reported break-ins that his department responds to in winter are about half of what they are in warmer months. During the same time period that Mounds View — a city of just over 12,300 people — has had over one dozen reported home burglaries, his department has only reported eight for the entire seven-city area that the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department is contracted to serve.
"Burglars don't respect city boundaries, but so far the criminal activity that's been seen in Mounds View hasn't spread into our neighborhoods," Gustafson said.
Kinney said that his department is working hard to identify the person or persons responsible for the rash of home invasions in his community and are sharing and comparing notes with law enforcement in neighboring communities as well.
The police chief encourages people to contact his department with any information related to these crimes or any suspicious activity people notice at any time. He said some things to look for are: people lingering outside on the street who look out of place, or individuals sitting in a parked car for extended periods in front of homes.
The Mounds View Police Department recommends taking the following common sense precautions for your own home security: keep doors and windows locked at all times (sliding doors and windows should have a bar or other device to prevent it from opening), keep curtains or blinds closed at night time or when away from home, and do not leave valuables such as wallets, checkbooks and phones in view to the outside.
The Mounds View Police Department is actively investigating these cases and encourages anyone with any information on these incidents to call the police department at 763-717-4070.

Mercedes Service & Maintenance
Look no further! We can save you as much as 65% from main dealer Mercedes servicing prices across the country!
The Mercedes-Benz automobile is a vehicle well noted for its luxury status and performance. Mercedes-Benz is a grouping of the passenger car brands of Daimler AG, a range which includes some of the most valuable brands in the automotive industry, which is why it deserves a service of equal standard to keep its maintenance optimal.
Why Use Service4Service?
At Service4Service we provide a quality car service for your Mercedes, maintaining its optimal performance, safety and comfort, at a much lower price than found with any of the main dealers locally in your area.
We can update your Mercedes-Benz digital service record
The Mercedes-Benz digital service record (DSB or digital service book) provides an online look at your vehicle's service history. These digital records can be easily accessed by servicing technicians for reference to the history of the vehicle and as the record is stored online there is no risk of it being lost.
Independent garages, like Service4Service, can also have access to record the servicing work on the system. This ensures that our customer's service record is always complete.
We only use approved Mercedes-Benz parts
We guarantee that your Mercedes will be serviced by manufacturer trained technicians using only approved parts so that your car continues to perform the way the engineers who built it intended. All of our Mercedes services comply with EU block exemption laws so your manufacturer warranty is completely protected when your car is serviced in one of our specialist Mercedes service centres, which means you can benefit from big savings on your service compared to main dealer prices.
For most people, car servicing is a necessity rather than a luxury and it's something that just needs to be done once a year or as the odometer clicks around. Unfortunately, it always seems like the expense comes at the wrong time of year, but of course it's essential to keep your Mercedes's service history in good order.
To make things easy as possible for you, and to ensure your Mercedes service doesn't impact upon your day, we offer a collection and delivery service. Either leave your car at home or at work and we'll collect it before dropping it home when the work is complete.
Alternatively you can call us on 0808 164 0418 and one of our friendly sales team will be able to help with your enquiry or booking.
Manufacturers Warranty will be fully protected using genuine parts

LOOKING FOR A HASSLE-FREE Mercedes REPAIR?
You'll find our technicians are happy and willing to repair almost any problem your Mercedes might have, from a damaged clutch to a difficult gearbox. We only ever replace parts with manufacturer's approved parts.
Mercedes Brake Repairs
Brakes are responsible for your safety so it is important to ensure that Mercedes brakes are regularly checked by a fully qualified mechanic. Be mindful of signs that your Mercedes brakes need attention, this includes a pulsating or vibrating brake pedal or a longer than usual braking distance.

Mercedes Clutch Repairs
Your Mercedes clutch is a key component for your car to work efficiently. When you change gears whilst driving, your clutch is simultaneously working to ensure your car reacts and performs based on the gear you select. Clutch failure results in the car failing to drive and here at Service4Service we want to help keep your car on the road, using our specialist knowledge.
Clutches do not have a recommended replacement mileage, so should be inspected regularly. With our approved, quality clutches fitted by our qualified technicians, you can't go wrong!
Mercedes Cambelt Repairs
There are no warning signs that a timing belt is worn out! Often, the warning signs of a damaged Mercedes timing belt appear after it is already too late, and this can become expensive. Your Mercedes vehicle engine will suffer from the consequences.
Mercedes specify certain intervals based on the age/mileage of your car to recommend when you should replace your timing to prevent any damage. Our quality parts that we supply and fit will suffice to prolonging the life of your engine.
Mercedes Exhaust Repairs
Exhausts are a major part that controls the level of emissions that come from your Mercedes. For the engine to run smoothly and producing the correct levels of emissions, keeping your exhaust in good working order is so important and we are able to help you with this.
It's key to use only OEM or genuine Mercedes parts and we will always provide the quality service you should expect when looking after your car.
Mercedes Gearbox Repairs
Gearboxes are an intricate part of your car, therefore Mercedes gearbox repairs are an important part of your car maintenance needs. Service4Service offer a high quality Mercedes gearbox repair and replacement service.
Clunking sounds when you shift gears or leaking transmission fluids? Our technical expertise means that we can provide fast and inexpensive Mercedes gearbox repairs..
Mercedes Turbo Repairs
Nearly all Mercedes turbocharger faults are the result of a handful of causes usually involving the turbo pump or turbo injector. Commonly found in diesel engines, an increasing amount of petrol-fuelled engines are also being built with turbochargers.

From the end of August single use plastic bags will no longer be available in Tesco stores in Northern Ireland.
Single use carrier bags – which had cost 5p – will be replaced by a new bag for life made from 94% recycled plastic and priced at 10p, which can be exchanged for free when damaged.
The new environmentally friendly scheme will begin on August 28.
The announcement follows a successful 10-week trial in Aberdeen, Dundee and Norwich, where Tesco found that customers bought significantly fewer bags. Sales of bags in trial stores have since reduced by 25% and customers found that the Bag for Life, which is replaceable for free if damaged, helped them move to re-useable bags.
Tesco has seen an 83% reduction in bag use since Northern Ireland's levy came into force. Removing single use carrier bags will significantly reduce the number of bags sold and will therefore help reduce litter and bags sent to landfill.
Online customers will still be able to opt for single use carrier bags for their shopping or select a bagless delivery, which 57% of Tesco's online customers are now doing.
Tesco also revealed today that it will be removing single-use wine carriers and lowering the price of its 'Carry me bottle bag' from £1 to 40p.
Brendan Guidera, Store Director for Tesco in Northern Ireland: "Our customers have already been dramatically reducing their bag use in Northern Ireland. Today's move will help this further and will really benefit the environment. As well as making bags for life more accessible for customers, we will be encouraging them to use and reuse bags for life as often as possible."

T Christensen, Bo (k, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The in vivo research methodology holds promise to improve some of the limitations of typical design cognition methodologies. Whereas typical design cognition methodology use protocol a nalysis (utilizing special 'think-aloud' instructions and/or artificial settings) or retrospective analyses, in vivo research attempts to study design thinking and reasoning 'live' or 'online' as it takes place in the real world. No special instructions are used since the method relies on natural dialogue taking place between designers. By recording verbalizations at product development meetings (or other suitable objects of study), transcribing, and coding the data, it is possible to test hypotheses about design cognition in the real-world. This promises to improve the ecological validity over typical design cognition studies. Problems with the methodology include labor-intensiveness leading to small samples (possible sampling errors). To deal with this problem, it is recommended to supplement in vivo research with traditional larger sample laboratory studies. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8147

Quitting smoking is one of the most daunting challenges you may face in your life. It is an addiction that is both physical and psychological. However, quitting smoking can be done. In fact, you will join the company of millions of Americans who are former smokers.
There are plenty of reasons to quit when you consider smoking's link to lung cancer, emphysema, and heart disease. Smoking also has harmful effects on your family, like exposing your family members to dangerous second-hand smoke. By being a smoker, you may also increase the chances that your children will follow your example become smokers.
You have seen the warnings. You have received the advice. You have listened to your kids nag you about it. You know you should quit smoking, but it's hard to know where to start. Knowing what you are up against can help you form a successful plan to quit.
The Mind and Body Connection
Smoking is addictive—both physically and psychologically. The physical addiction can be traced to the nicotine in each cigarette. It hooks you just as completely as other drugs. The withdrawal symptoms—cravings, anxiety, nausea, depression, and lightheadedness—are similar.
Nicotine surges through the bloodstream and gives smokers a high—a quick jolt that makes them think they feel better. What really happens is that smokers develop a tolerance for nicotine, which is why they tend to increase the amount of cigarettes they smoke each day.
The psychological addiction is, in its own way, just as bad. Smoking becomes second nature, like blinking or breathing. If you consider that 1 pack of cigarettes can turn into 150 to 200 puffs a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, you will see how hard it is to de-program yourself.
The Key to Quitting
There is no easy way to quit, but there are ways to make the experience more tolerable. Do not be discouraged if it takes many attempts before you kick the habit.
The key to quitting, is patience, perseverance, and having a plan.
How to Do It
Keep these points in mind when you quit:
Know Why You Are Quitting
Pick a reason that you believe in, be it for your family or for yourself. If you do not believe in your reason, it is that much harder to quit.
Take it One Day at a Time
Worry about not smoking for just 1 day, and not for the rest of your life. Besides, it gets easier to stave off the desire the longer you do not smoke. The nicotine will soon leave your system, and the worst of the withdrawal symptoms will go away.
Taper Off
Some quitters achieve their goal by quitting all at once. However, there are many other options, like slowly decreasing the number of cigarettes you smoke each day.
Whether you gradually taper or quit cold, your goal must be the same: abstinence. If you choose to taper, do not let the process give you an excuse to delay the final step of quitting entirely. Set a quit day and stick to it.
Change Your Environment
Think about the things that lead to lighting up, and do not do them. Get rid of the ashtrays at home. Do not come back from lunch 15 minutes early to sneak in a cigarette break. Avoid places where smoking is part of the atmosphere.
Practice the Three D's
Delay; deep breathing; drink water. When you feel like a smoke, delay. Try to think of something else. Breathe deeply, and count to 10 slowly as you do so. Drink plenty of water. It helps flush the nicotine out of your system. Do something else, like chew gum, until the craving passes.
Keep a Diary
This technique, which has also been used effectively with people who eat too much, is surprisingly effective. Each time you feel like a cigarette, write down the time of day, what you are doing, and how badly you want to smoke on a scale of 1 to 3, with 1 for the worst craving. A diary helps you to learn to unlearn the responses that make you want to smoke.
Discuss Medicines
You may want to talk with your doctor about medicines that are available to help with smoking cessation. One example is varenicline. It helps by blocking the pleasant effects that nicotine causes on the brain.
In addition to varenicline, there are a range of other medicines available to help you quit smoking. Examples include nicotine replacement products, which may be in the form of chewing gum, lozenge, nasal spray, or patches; and an antidepressant called bupropion.
Based on the research available so far, it appears that varenicline works better than placebo and bupropion. However, taking varenicline has been associated with some side effects. The most frequently reported include nausea, headache, insomnia, and unusual dreams. Varenicline and bupropion may also increase the risk of serious mood and behavior changes.
While medicines may be a good option for you, these are definitely not a magic cure. You still need to be committed to quitting.
Work with Your Doctor
For the best results, work with your doctor. Together, you can test your lung function and compare the results to those of a non-smoking person. The results can be given to you as your lung age. Finding out your lung age may help you to stop smoking.
Your doctor can also talk with you about your options, such as:
- Over-the-counter nicotine patches, gum and lozenges, which may be used alone or in combination
- Prescription nicotine inhalers or nasal sprays
- Prescription medicines
- Alternative therapies like hypnosis and acupuncture
- Smoking cessation classes
- Group therapy
- Self-help programs—For example, web and computer-based programs are an option. You can find many programs online, like the American Lung Association's Freedom From Smoking program. There are also telephone quit lines, cell phone programs, and text messaging programs. To learn more about these options, visit Smokefree.gov .
Trying a combination of these options may work best for you. For example, using a nicotine patch and going to group therapy may help you to become smoke-free.
Reward Yourself for Succeeding
Quitting is hard. You deserve a reward for meeting short-term goals, such as being smoke-free for 1 week, 2 weeks, or a month. Give yourself something you really want but have been putting off getting. Remember how much money you are saving by not buying cigarettes!

The 2012 Fisher 5k has come and gone. Maybe you ran, maybe you walked, maybe you crawled, or maybe you made the mistake of not getting involved. If the latter is the case, don't worry – it'll be back again next year! I was lucky enough to attend the event, and here's what I experienced.
The event was incredibly well run. All runners and walkers were placed in the corral with plenty of time to get rid of the pre-race jitters before the 9.00 start. There was ample space in the corral too – some races make you feel so packed and uncomfortable while waiting to start, but that was not the case here. Well done, Fisher 5k! A member of the OSU Women's Glee Club sang the national anthem for us, and soon after 9.00 the race began.
Along the race course, volunteers did an excellent job of pointing out the route. Not once did I question where I was going. Further, the volunteers did such a great job of cheering on all the participants, even when they had no idea who we were. These anonymous words of encouragement can really make a big difference during a race – especially if you're going through a bit of a tough time.
Speaking of the route – wow! It was a new route this year, and was incredible! I posted a map of the route, but seeing it firsthand was incredibly different and way awesome. Participants got to see all portions of campus, and the stretch through Mirror Lake was so picturesque. There were no laps or repeat stretches of the course, which is always nice too.
Following the race, generous sponsors provided Panera bagels, bananas, apples, oranges, and Nutrigrain bars. And of course, there was plenty of water and Gatorade for runners to rehydrate with. These treats are always appreciated when you're dripping in sweat following your great race.
I honestly don't know what else the Fisher 5k could have done this year to make the event any better. Operations seemed flawless, all participants I spoke to and saw had a great time, and it looked like a fantastic turnout. I'll be very excited to see what the final fundraising dollars are when they are released. If you were unable to participate in some way this year, make sure you do next year – and remember, even if you're graduating you can still run/walk/crawl! Trust me when I say that you won't regret it.

I have worked from home for just over a year now after spending my working life in an office. I am surprised at how much I like it! I have enough meetings and outside interactions to not feel isolated and I love the flexibility that it offers me to support my child's school and our home life. I don't want to go back to an office any time soon.
Couldn't have said it any better. I will go back to the office kicking and screaming :)

- Current Price:
This 65' Harker's Island Rhode Craft is located in Rhode Island
This dive boat was made famous in the book, Shadow Divers. She is located in Rhode Island, and
has recently been restored to allow her to get back in the water.
As many in the dive community know, Seeker has been dry docked for several years and many thought she would never sail again. Well, thanks to the current owner she is in the water and ready to go back to work.
Here is just an example of the amount of work that was done in the past year:
ALL NEW: Bow sprit, Windlass, 200' 1/2" chain, 72lb anchor, Foot controls and helm switch 8 frames, Planking, 22 butts, 3 hide a butts Fuel lines 12volt system, Starters, Alternators Hydraulic steering lines 316 stainless steel lines (windlass) 12v Hydraulic control with filter Reglassed the foredeck Windows (Salon) Wooded the hull - taking it down to the bare wood. New batteries 7(8D's), 6(G31's) 130amp charger 2500 watt inverter Fresh water plumbing Fresh water pump New Head New Holding tank New rudder posts and packing bearings Rebuilt steering arm and gear Packing bearings on drive shafts Chart plotter w/ down view transducer
Paint ...
In short everything you need to put her back to work. There is still some work to be done to the interior, but compared to what has been done, that's minor.
A lot of work has been done to get her ready for fishing/diving.
If you are a serious diver, The Seeker (and it's crew from the 1990's) are probably known to you.
If you are not familiar with the story, The Seeker is a 65' Rhodes Craft dive boat. The following comes from Wickepedia:
"In 1991, Bill Nagle a former wreck diver and the captain of the Seeker learned about a wreck outside New Jersey and decided to mount a diving expedition to the site. On September 2, 1991, an unidentified U-boat wreck was discovered 73 meters (240 feet) deep (a hazardous depth for standard scuba diving) off the coast of New Jersey. Nicknamed the U-Who, the exact identity of the wreck was a matter of frequent debate, and initially the wreck was thought to be either U-550 or U-521. The discoverers of U-Who, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, continued to dive the wreck for the next several years, taking considerable risks (three divers,died exploring the U-869).
Eventually, the team recovered a knife inscribed with "Horenburg", a crew member's name. However, they learned at the U-boat archives that U-869 was supposedly sent to Africa, so this piece of evidence was initially discarded. A few years later, they found part of the UZO torpedo aiming device, and spare parts from the motor room engraved with serial and other identifying numbers. On August 31, 1997 they concluded that the boat they found was the U-869."
She is still regarded, even today, as one of the best dive boats around.
The story is fascinating and the movie rights have been purchased by a major motion picture studio.
If you are a dive fan, please get the word out that Seeker is back in the water.

The Texas Auto Writers Association, made up mostly of people whose work you've never seen, has named the Ford F-150 Raptor SVT the "Truck of Texas." We question the decision makers but not the decision. Like Katemcy, the Raptor rocks.
Texans love their trucks so much that automakers have to name special editions of their full-sized offerings just for the state; for example the Texas Edition Toyota Tundra/Silverado/Titan, Dodge Ram Laredo, King Ranch Edition F-Series, and Port Arthur Edition Mitsubishi Raider. As you can read in our review, the Raptor is a vehicle capable of crossing terrain from El Paso to Beaumont.
Granted, for such a small production number the "Truck of Texas" will not be driven or owned by the vast majority of Texan truck buyers. But we imagine it'll have a good chunk of its sales in the state.
UPDATE: It seems the F-150 line is the truck of Texas and the Raptor is the "Full-Size Truck of Texas." MOST. CONFUSING. AWARD NAMES. EVER.

Dear Heavenly Father, it�s us. We, Your people who are called by Your Name. Wash us in the Blood of Your Dear and Precious Son, Jesus in Whom You are well pleased. Guide us by the Power of Your Holy Spirit to humble ourselves and pray, and seek Your face that we and our land may be healed. In Jesus� Name. Amen.
First, let�s revisit a little history, going back even before the 300 terrible years of the Willie Lynch Saga, which we all know is about the dark time of racism and slavery in America. Let�s go back even further to visit a man named Jacob. His great-grandfather, Abraham, is the ancient Father of Many Nations. Joseph�s grandfather, Isaac, sowed in times of famine and became a very rich man. Joseph�s father, Jacob, wrestled with the angel of GOD and his name was changed to Israel. Anyway, a spirit of miscommunication caused spirits of jealousy, greed, murder and slavery to be released into Joseph�s life. His brothers � who by the way were the same color as he was, so slavery isn�t just about skin color- Jacob�s brothers threw him into a pit and Joseph became a slave and later by the grace of God, he became a liberator.
And then there was Moses, a Hebrew baby who was adopted by an Egyptian Princess. The brown Hebrew nation was oppressed by the brown rulers of Egypt. God raised up Moses to be the voice of liberation for His �chosen people.�
Then there is Africa of a more modern day, which found the same brown skinned descendents of Abraham, Isaac, Israel and Joseph in bondage for hundreds of years, still singing the freedom Bible songs, GO DOWN MOSES, JOSHUA FIT THE BATTLE OF JERICO� They were still singing THE LORD�S SONGS in a strange land � Africa.
Again, brown-now-black skinned people sold the FREEDOM SINGERS to another land, this time to people with pink and beige skin, called Caucasians. The slaves were transported to a land called America and met the Willie Lynch slave system, and Jim Crow and a host of horrors.
Today, we are gathered together, and we are still singing the Bible Freedom songs, which you will hear at THE CALL DETROIT 11.11.11
Today, as human beings, many of us have lived in two centuries. We have experienced the presence of Almighty God across the ages. In the 20th Century, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was called as a modern day Moses to lead a spiritual movement that would be historically labeled as the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th Century. The hub of the 20th Century Movement was in Birmingham, Alabama. Called the �Sons of Thunder,� my father, Rev. A. D. King is brother to Martin. They have been compared to John and Robert Kennedy in that they both gave their lives as Freedom Fighters. Both men love the Lord, and they live in heaven together today.
Uncle M. L., Daddy, and their earthly father, Daddy King were preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They were Freedom Fighters, and they were also Pro-Life Warriors. Daddy King rescued me from abortion in 1950. You can read the story in my book: HOW CAN THE DREAM SURVIVE IF WE MURDER THE CHILDREN?
Even though I had two secret abortions in the nineteen sixties and seventies, and a miscarriage due to the ravages of sin and secrets, God did not give up on me. In the mid-nineteen seventies, Daddy King and the father of the fifth child I was carrying convinced me spiritually, scientifically, medically and socially that the baby in my womb was truly a human being entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
In 1983, I gave my life to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and in the 1990�s became a �Voice for Life,� working today with Priests for Life Ministries.
Last night, I met a young woman who sat on the knee of Daddy King when she was 2 years old. She is 32 years old today. She shared with me that she was slated for abortion, and her father and mother let her live. Daddy King said she would have a spiritual destiny, and that her life would help many people.
You see, Daddy King, like his sons M. L. and A. D. and like many in our family, was a prophet. All those years ago when my mother wanted to abort me, Daddy King told her: �No. They are lying to you. She is not a lump of flesh. She is a little girl, with bright skin and bright red hair. She will be a blessing to many.� So you see, this little girl who is part Irish, part African and part Native American is standing before you today to bear witness of Acts 17:26, that of One Blood, God made all people to live on earth in a Beloved Community, and one day, to live in Eternity with Him. So we are one human race, not separate races. Racism is the spawn of a divisive lie. We are one human family in need of the Blood of Jesus!
Amos 5:24 says: But let justice roll down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. My Uncle ML quoted that in his MOUNTAINTOP speech. He had a dream that we would all be free one day. Our prayers today are for repentance and freedom. For all human beings, from conception until natural death.
As Dr. Levonne Yuille, the Father of the Black Pro-Life Movement of the late 20th Century prepares to come to you, please allow me to say that I am Dr. Alveda King. I too have a dream. It is in my genes.
Here in Detroit, Michigan, a focal point of the 21st Century Civil Rights Movement, we lift up the banner of JESUS, coming against the lie of abortion, eugenics, genocide, euthanasia, and all that would destroy abundant life that our Lord and Master Jesus promises us. We bind murder in the womb, we bind sexual immorality, we bind idolatry. We chose Life In Jesus� Name!
Friends, we are standing at the river. Justice and Righteousness flow together at the ford before us. For some the crossing is shallow, for some the crossing is deep. There is a river whose streams make glad the people of God. Agape Love is the bridge across the rushing streams. Let us launch out into the deep without fear. The freedom rides of the 20th Century meet the pro-life freedom rides of the 21st Century. The witness of the Dreamer Joseph of the ancient Bible days, the witness of the Prophet Moses of those times, the witness of the Sons of Thunder and all the beloved apostles of the early century all are with us today in the cloud of Heavenly worshipers. We gathered here and across the globe join together at this THE CALL DETROIT, 11/11/11. We Occupy this Planet today in our prayers. We resist the forces of darkness that try to wrest the knowledge of our Kingdom Inheritance from us. We resist their violent attacks against the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father. Their force must bend, bow and break before the Power of Almighty God! We draw near to God. We resist the devil. Flee Satan! As Jesus teaches us, by the Power of God�s Holy Spirit, and the ministry of the Holy Angels of God, we Occupy Until Jesus comes!
Loose the sound of true worship! Let the sound of the worship of the people who love the Lord fill the atmosphere, drowning out the ancient songs of the enemy that have once ruled this place.
Father, we give you all the glory, all the honor and all the praise. In Jesus Name. Amen

Albert Haynesworth, Chad Ochocinco, Reggie Bush and Kevin Kolb were on the move, and Vince Young is now free to search for a new home.
Johnathan Joseph and Darren Sproles each decided on their new teams.
Day 3 of the compressed, post-lockout offseason was wild, and there promised to be more fun to come.
NFL clubs made a move a minute Thursday, with everything from contract agreements to trades to cuts, that teams were finally allowed to start announcing at 4:01 p.m. EDT. Among the released players were Young by the Titans, Nate Clements by the 49ers, and Jake Delhomme by the Browns.
In the first dramatic example of how the new labor deal's rookie salary system will affect elite players, No. 2 overall draft pick Von Miller got $21 million guaranteed over four years from the Denver Broncos. The No. 2 pick in 2010, Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, signed a five-year deal worth $40 million guaranteed and as much as $68 million overall.
Broncos football chief John Elway tweeted, "We have agreed to terms with our 1st round pick, LB Von Miller. Can't wait to get him on the field."
The man widely regarded as the best available player in free agency, Nnamdi Asomugha, hasn't picked a team yet. But Joseph, another top cornerback, agreed to terms with the Houston Texans, according to a person with knowledge of the deal, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the signing hadn't been announced.
Bill Belichick has had success reining in outspoken, do-it-my-way players such as receiver Randy Moss. Now New England's coach gets two more guys who fit that description in defensive tackle Haynesworth and receiver Ochocinco.
All the Patriots gave up for Haynesworth was a 2013 fifth-round pick. By shipping the defensive tackle to New England, the Washington Redskins rid themselves of a two-year distraction and fiasco of a free-agent signing — Haynesworth was guaranteed a then-record $41 million in the seven-year, $100 million contract he got in the early hours of free agency in 2009. On the same day, he infamously declared: "You're not going to remember Albert Haynesworth as a bust."
Haynesworth played in only 20 games for Washington, making 6½ sacks, and was in constant legal trouble away from the field. Last season, he feuded with Redskins coach Mike Shanahan and was suspended for the final four games for conduct detrimental to the club.
A person with knowledge of the Ochocinco deal told the AP he agreed to a three-year contract with the Patriots. It was not known what the Bengals received in return.
In the Kolb deal, Philadelphia received cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2012 second-round draft pick from Arizona, which was in need of a starting quarterback. Kolb had lost the Eagles' No. 1 QB job to Michael Vick and wanted a chance to lead a team.
Kolb, who turns 27 next month, reportedly will get a $63 million, five-year contract with the Cardinals. Rodgers-Cromartie, who went to the Pro Bowl in 2009, will play opposite four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel in Philadelphia, shoring up a pass defense that struggled last season.
The Dolphins completed their trade for Bush by negotiating a two-year contract for nearly $10 million with the running back. New Orleans gets reserve safety Jonathon Amaya in the swap, which also involves an exchange of draft picks.
"Change is never easy but I look forward to building something special in Miami and can't wait to embark on this new journey!" Bush wrote on Twitter.
New Orleans replaced Bush with Sproles, who told the AP on Thursday night he had agreed to a four-year contract with the Saints.
In other transactions Thursday:—Five-time Pro Bowl kicker David Akers agreed to a deal with San Francisco, leaving Philadelphia after 12 seasons. Akers told The Associated Press on Thursday that his contract with the 49ers is for three years.
—Kansas City released longtime star guard Brian Waters, who made 149 starts in 11 seasons for the Chiefs and went to five Pro Bowls. Waters said he plans to continue playing.
—Chicago traded tight end Greg Olsen to Carolina for an undisclosed 2012 draft choice. A first-round draft pick in 2007, Olsen has 194 catches for 1,981 yards and 20 touchdowns in his career, but Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz prefers blocking tight ends. Olsen finished 2010 with his lowest totals in receptions (41) and yards (404) since he was a rookie.
The Bears also agreed to a five-year contract with punter Adam Podlesh, who comes to Chicago from Jacksonville to replace Brad Maynard, whose contract expired after he spent 10 years at Soldier Field.
—Linebacker Clint Session left the Colts but stayed in the AFC South when he agreed to a five-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars worth slightly more than $29 million, with $11.5 million in guaranteed money.
—Dallas made official nine cuts, many of them leaked previously. Gone are tackle Marc Colombo, guard Leonard Davis, receiver Roy Williams, running back Marion Barber, kicker Kris Brown, offensive linemen Robert Brewster and Travis Bright, linebacker Kelvin Smith and receiver Troy Bergeron.
—Buffalo agreed to a four-year contract worth about $15 million with Brad Smith, the versatile receiver-running back-kick returner who was a force in the wildcat formation with the Jets.
—Minnesota released starting safety Madieu Williams, who spent three seasons there but was largely a disappointment after signing a big-money deal to come over from Cincinnati in 2008. He was due to make $5.4 million this season.The Vikings also released defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy and receiver Freddie Brown.
—The Redskins added free-agent defensive end Stephen Bowen, whose agent announced the deal on Twitter. Bowen played five seasons with the Cowboys; he had 1½ sacks in nine starts last year.
—Philadelphia put defensive end Brandon Graham (left knee) and offensive tackle Winston Justice (left knee) on the physically-unable-to-perform list. Also, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and cornerback Samuel were excused from training camp for personal reasons.
—Linebacker Justin Durant is leaving Jacksonville for Detroit; receiver Rashied Davis also agreed to join the Lions after six years in Chicago.
—New Orleans left tackle Jermon Bushrod agreed to a two-year deal to remain with the Saints. He's been a key part of Drew Brees' pass protection.
—Daryn Colledge, the starting left guard for the Super Bowl champion Packers, agreed to a five-year deal with Arizona. Colledge started 76 games over five seasons for Green Bay.

Donald Hardison found his purpose early in life and lived it through to the end.
His purpose was bettering his community both as an architect and as an active member.
Hardison, an influential architect whose firm designed many of the defining buildings in Richmond and the East Bay after World War II, died Sept. 17 at his home in El Cerrito. He was 96.
His signature works included numerous school buildings, including the new Richmond High School, and the student union and Zellerbach Hall at UC Berkeley.
One of the projects he most treasured, and received national acclaim for, is no longer standing. Easter Hill Village was a federal housing complex designed and built as Richmond's hastily built wartime housing was being demolished.
The project, opened in 1950 at a former quarry site where Easter services were once held, was designed to bring together elements previously unheard of in such projects, including exposed beam ceilings, gardens and play areas. The project, designed to house a mix of tenants of various incomes, incorporated boulders left from the quarry as design elements.
The innovations won honors from the American Institute of Architects in Washington, D.C.
Hardison was honored by Richmond with a Historic Preservation Award in 2009, and his involvement with the community was readily apparent at the ceremony, where your columnist sat next to him and he offered insights on aspects of the city's history and built environment.
"His interest in so many community groups, his love of architecture and his love of nature — he combined all of those into his profession," said Hardison's daughter Jan Brown.
Hardison was a native of Fillmore who came to the Bay Area to study architecture at UC Berkeley, where he graduated in 1938.
He remained in the area and during World War II worked as a naval architect at Mare Island and the Kaiser shipyards in Richmond.
He opened his own firm after the war, which is still in business today as HKIT Architects in Oakland.
In a 40-year career, he served on state and local commissions, became a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, was president of the local and state AIA chapters, and became AIA Chancellor of the College of Fellows.
In the community, he was active with the Richmond Art Center, the Richmond Museum of History, the SS Red Oak Victory and the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.
A celebration of his life will be held at 2 p.m. Oct. 12 at First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley.
WEST COUNTY NOTES: Here are the top finishers in the annual parade that opened this year's Solano Stroll on Sept. 9, as judged by Lisa Bullwinkel of Another Bullwinkel Show and professional wrestling announcer Alan Bolte:
1. El Cerrito Preschool Cooperative; 2. (tie) Albany Preschool and Crestmont School; 3. (tie) Hot Pink Feathers, Dance Azteca and El Cerrito High School Gauchos.
Honorable mentions included the Albany-Berkeley Soccer Club, Berkeley Ballet Theater, Berkeley Pools for All, Berkeley YMCA Dancers, Brasarte, Brushstrokes Studio, Head Over Heels Athletic Arts and Saint Mary's High School cheerleaders.
There is also a permanent dropoff box (no liquid medications, please) accessible from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at the Richmond Police Department, 1701 Regatta Blvd.
Davaran has the title role in "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," a new musical set to open Oct. 9 at the S.F. Playhouse (www.sfplayhouse.org).
The group assembled and shipped five boxes of new underwear, socks and sleepwear to Our Lady of Grace Catholic School in Reserve, La., to "assist families in that parish school that lost everything in Hurricane Isaac."
Stewart writes that "we are hoping that this will be the beginning of a new relationship between our little group and the parish school."

The most common issue is the relatively recent vintage for state mandated vital records. It is usually quite a surprise to beginners to find out that their ancestor who was born in Arizona in 1880 doesn't have a birth certificate. It was not generally the practice around the United States to issue either birth certificates or death certificates on a consistent basis until well into the 20th Century.
Massachusetts is an example of a state where the vital records date back into the 1600s. Most of the early records were kept in local records. Many of these local records were compiled into state records by the mid-1800s. For that reason, you can find collections of birth, death and marriage records dating back into those early years. Here are some of the collections from FamilySearch.org:
- Massachusetts, Births and Christenings, 1639-1915
- Massachusetts, Births, 1841-1915
- Massachusetts, Deaths and Burials, 1795-1910
- Massachusetts, Deaths, 1841-1915
- Massachusetts, Marriages, 1695-1910
- Massachusetts, Marriages, 1841-1915
- Massachusetts, Springfield Vital Records, 1638-1887
- Massachusetts, State Vital Records, 1841-1920
Even though the Massachusetts records go way back, the records did not take the form of the now familiar, birth and death certificates for a long time.
The stumbling block comes from having a record that is a ubiquitous as a birth or death certificate with a life span such that no one living now can remember a time when they did not exist. So new researchers immediately assume that genealogy is like geology, that there is a principle of uniformitarianism. Such a principle may work for earth sciences but following that same principle in genealogy is a trap. Genealogists have to learn that every few years both the form and the type of records changed. Before the civil governments got into the business of keeping track of everybody, the common folk were relatively unnoticed except when needed for military service or something of the kind.
Consistently, however, the churches have been concerned with records of common people for a considerably longer time. For example, quoting from Archives.com on Catholic Church records, "There are about 23,000 parish archives throughout Spain that make up the 70 Catholic dioceses. The Guia de la Iglesia en España (Madrid: Oficina de Estadistica, 1951) is a published guide that breaks down each diocese by parish and tells when the records began for about 90% of the parishes in Spain." Some of the Spanish parishes have records dating back into the 1200s.
It is important to understand more about records that making unfounded assumptions that you can find the same records available today for time periods in the past.

Pavement hogging Segway rider convicted
A UK first
A Yorkshireman is the first person in Britain to be fined for driving a Segway on the pavement.
Coates 51, an unemployed factory worker, was fined £75, and ordered to pay £250 costs and a £15 victim surcharge at Barnsley Magistrate's Court.
Coates bought the two-wheeler after taking one for a spin on holiday in Florida.
"I've used it ever since for going to work and for trips into Barnsley," he told the Daily Mail in an interview he gave when charged last year. "They are perfectly safe and I've even let my mum, who is 86, have a go on it."
According to the UK Press Association, Coates's prosecution was seen as a test case by British Segway users. But why?
Under UK law, Segways are classified as motor vehicles, which means that it is illegal to ride one on the pavement. Period. It is also illegal to ride Segways on UK roads. For either to change, the House of Commons must vote to change the law.
Segway has lobbied for many years for such a change, butthe closest it has got to bothering Parliament was in 2009, when LibDem buffoon Lembit Opik sponsored a parliamentary debate to make "self-balancing personal transporters" street legal.
"To paraphrase Shakespeare, I come to legalise Segways, not to praise them," he said at the time. "The evil that machines do lives after them – the good is oft interred with their cogs, and so it could be with the self-balancing personal transporter."
With friends like this ... thankfully Opik was turfed out by his decidedly more sensible constituents at the last election. ®

Chavez Speech On Target
Ironically, many who are now so outraged about Chavez's comments don't show the same vociferous outrage about all the innocent people being killed by the imperial avarice of Bush and company.
(President Hugo Chavez).
So, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's speech at the U.N. has ruffled feathers in the political establishment. Good.
It's about time someone starts telling the truth. During his address, Chavez speaking of our "president" said "yesterday, the devil came here." And apparently, the reference to this "president" as a "devil" upset many, including New York politicos like Charles Rangel.
Rangel chastised Chavez for criticizing "President" Bush and stated that he would not condone any "foreigner" coming into America and disparaging his "president." Rangel and all those who are hooting and hollering in front of the cameras and microphones need to get a grip.
First of all, Rangel and those on the so-called "left" need to reassess their miserable failures that have led to the ascendancy of, arguably, the most despotic regime in the history of the republic. Many are now blowing hot air about how "un-statesmanlike" Chavez was in calling Bush a "devil."
According to them there is a certain decorum that must be maintained at all times, no matter how superficial and hypocritical it may be. However, what people like Rangel –who by the way a few weeks ago called Vice President Dick Cheney crazy—fail to comprehend is that people are starving for real leadership, leadership that passionately represents the desperate plight of the people.
For far too long suffering people have been saddled with "misleaders" that are too concerned with projecting a false diplomatic front filled with pretentious pleasantries and niceties, while the neighborhoods of their constituencies go up in flames. This must stop, if we are to ever move forward in the fight against poverty and racism. Therefore, a new paradigm of leadership is needed to break down the business-as-usual approach in diplomatic circles.
Chavez may very well represent a new shift in this regard. And his humble beginnings may be the reason why in truly exercising "free speech" at the U.N. he was so fiercely passionate. Mainstream media with its spin-doctoring succeeded in reducing his entire eloquent and all-encompassing speech to his comments about Bush being a "devil." Chavez illustrated all the destruction and death that this hellish administration has wreaked in Iraq and the Middle East.
Ironically, many who are now so outraged about Chavez's comments don't show the same vociferous outrage about all the innocent people being killed by the imperial avarice of Bush and company. Why is that? Moreover, if one is in possession of all the implements of wealth and technology and yet cannot bring prosperity but only misery, then perhaps they are devils.
