Despite their large, intimidating appearance, the Doberman Shepherd has a heart of gold.
These dogs are known for being tough, strong, and resilient.
This guide will help you learn how to effectively take care of these dogs so they can become a great asset to you and your family.
Doberman Shepherd Puppies – Before You Buy…
With the intense loyalty of a Doberman and the high intelligence of a German Shepherd, you'll have one interesting dog in your hands.
While this dog is a great pet to have, understand that its Doberman ancestry makes it an independent dog.
As a result, you'll need to be patient when training and raising them. If you're a first-time dog owner, I wouldn't recommend starting with a Doberman Shepherd.
Unless you have the time, space and discipline to train them, these dogs won't do much for you.
Still, once cared for, these dogs will be great towards your family. They are obedient and are strong enough to protect you and your family from strangers with ill intentions.
Keep these things in mind before you buy this dog so that you have a realistic expectation as to how they will act once they reach your home.
What Price are Doberman Shepherd Puppies?
Doberman Shepherd puppies cost about $200 – $500. Any pup that's sold under that range might be ill-fed by their breeder so avoid them.
You'll also have to account for their medical needs as well. Expect to pay at least $500-$650.
Like any dog, you'll have to pay for their grooming, training, and daily expenses.
This will net you about $500-$650 as well, as this dog will need a lot of tools to keep them in good shape and good health.
Where to Find Reputable Doberman Shepherd Breeders?
Good breeders take time to provide health care, properly raise a litter, select good parents, and put in the effort to ensure that the puppies are healthy and well-adjusted.
They only breed only 2-3 litters a year and less than that on some occasion.
You can start searching for breeders by appearing at dog shows and speaking to owners and breeders about their dogs.
Also, you can search for dog advertisements that are on the internet or the specialist dog press.
Find out through breed clubs and ask people for a recommendation of a good breeder that's within your regions.
Usually, they are breed enthusiasts and have extensive and resourceful knowledge about the dog you're trying to own.
Ask people who own dogs of your breed where did they obtain the dog and if you can speak to their breeder.
Good breeders don't breed often nor do they breed to order. They should tell you when their next litter is expected to arrive, so stay patient – If you've found a good breeder then, it will be worth it.
Reputable breeders are one who fulfils these criteria. Make sure you ask questions and if you can't get good answers, look for another breeder.
3 Little-Known Facts About Doberman Shepherd Puppies
- The first Doberman Drill Team was created by Tess Henseler at the 1959 West Minister dog show in New York City. The dogs performed in various sporting events and celebrations and showed the dog's agility and advanced intelligence.
- While World War I, taught us a lot of things such as the horse cavalry that was used on the battlefield. The German Shepherd was famous amongst the allies and was used to fight against the Kaiser. They became Germany's most commonly used military dog. And they have gained popularity in the United Kingdom, and it's stated that the dog is becoming just as popular in the United States. However, the same war would make the "German" part of their name unpopular. Thus, these dogs names would be changed to the Alsatian Wolf Hound in the UK and other surrounding countries.
- The reason why Dobermans have docked tails and long ears are due to their breeders. Breeders wanted these dogs to be strong enough to intimidate others while also having short tails so that they couldn't be pulled during fights. Thus, making them a great dog to have for house protection and guard duty.

The Doberman Shepherd's Diet
If you're looking for a family dog that acts as a guard dog and a watchdog, Doberman Shepherds make a good choice. They'll need to be fed organic dog food at least twice a day.
You'll have to feed them a total of 4 to 5 cups to keep them satisfied. These dogs bark occasionally and can live in most climates except for cold ones.
As a result, keep them well-fed and they'll grow into healthy and confident adults.
Price-wise, this will cost you around $90 a month. This is because the dogs can grow very large once they are over 4 years old.
Save a few hundred dollars in your annual budget to ensure that they get the best food that they need.

So they like to have a mission to accomplish or a job to help them feel involved. Certain activities can include taking multiple long walks a day, following you on hikes and runs, visiting dog parks, and playing games.
Your Doberman Shepherd will enjoy obedience trials which help them stay mentally stimulated. Since they aren't good for apartment living, this large dog will need some space.
An urban environment with a bigger yard or a rural environment is the best place for him.
Doberman Shepherd Health and Conditions

Health-wise, the Doberman Shepherd is a great mix, and won't give you too much health concerns throughout their lives. Make sure that you keep the pet updated on their flea/tick
treatments, vaccinations, regular examinations and consider spaying/neutering.
A Good Guard Dog?
Not only is the Doberman Shepherd an alert and inquisitive watchdog, but it will also prove to be a highly efficient guard dog.
Therefore, if you are seeking to get a pet for purposes of security, the Doberman Shepherd will be an excellent pick.
The Doberman genes in this hybrid dog contribute largely to its overall protective nature.
This is a brave and fearless breed that will go to any lengths to thwart any threat or danger that can potentially harm its human family.
Additionally, this is also a good scouting dog with a keen sense of smell.
Therefore, this aspect of the Doberman Shepherd will prove to be of great use when it comes to sniffing out any dangers that lurk about in your vicinity.
The strong innate guarding tendencies of this pet will cause it to be quite wary and apprehensive towards strangers.
While this can be both a good and a bad thing, one thing about this breed that cannot be questioned is its deep loyalty towards its owner.
Once it acknowledges you as its master, you can expect to have 24/7 protection under the guard of the Doberman Shepherd.
Loyal to the core and extremely obedient when it comes to your commands, this is a companion to have by your side if you live alone and want to enhance the security of your house.
The dog is undoubtedly well-mannered and easy to please, but if you want it to gel well with strangers, especially your friends that are meeting your pet for the first time, early socialization will be paramount to keeping its defensive mechanisms at bay.
With consistent training, you can teach your pet to not attack people that are accompanied by you so that it can correctly differentiate between visitors and intruders.
Grooming Advice
Special breeding and an overall focus on the protective qualities of the animal have made the coat of the Dobermann Shepherd largely smooth and short, and that means it only adds to the low maintenance nature of this dog breed.
Even as the season's change and your dog's fur coat changes with it, you'll find that shedding is rarely an issue, and any hairs you happen to find as a result of this are thick enough to easily notice and simple enough to sweep away.
Actual grooming of the Dobermann Shepherd is needed only every two weeks to every month or so, depending on how much time your pet spends outside, your preferences, and the overall temperament of the dog.
It takes just a normal dog grooming brush and no more than half an hour, providing your dog keeps still, to comb that slick fur smooth and remove any dust, grime of unpleasantness from the coat.
Your dog might well enjoy the process, and it can become a nice bonding exercise.
Many owners find the brushing motion a good way to combat stress or anxiety, and as you might imagine, being pampered this way leaves your pet in a good mood too.
This dog rarely needs a trip to the salon for professional attention – even as a treat, there simply isn't that much fun to work with.
Remember, as a work dog breed mix, this animal was built for a more utilitarian lifestyle, rather than lots of fussing and preening.
Supplements and Vitamins
Health and vitality are extremely important to the Doberman Shepherd, and so you'll find there are lots of products on the market that claim to enhance that. But of course, there's so much choice, it can be a little overwhelming at times!
As a general rule, it's best to approach this issue from a knowledge of whether your dog has any allergies to worry about.
In cases like these, it's best to rely on those vitamin supplements that are hypoallergenic for the best results.
Doberman Shepherds are highly active dogs, which can cause a lot of wear and tear on their joints into their latter years.
Supplements specifically designed to overcome these issues are a great proactive way of ensuring your dog enjoys his or her old age nicely.
Doberman Shepherds are often recommended Vitamin E, to help keep their immunities strong and their minds sharp.
Similarly, Omega-3 fish oils can prove superb ways of keeping your dog's mind smart and their senses honed – very important if your pet is also your guard dog.
For Doberman Shepherds who are fussy with taking pills or supplemental gels or liquids, turn to nature's remedy.
For instance, a decent piece of boneless fish boosts both protein and omega-3, while vitamins are readily found in some fruits and vegetables that dogs love to eat.
For the best results, consider slices of cucumber or watermelon.
They make great treats to reward a Doberman Shepherd, but also are low in the natural sugars often found in other fruits that dogs don't digest well.

My Final Thoughts on the Doberman Shepherd
To conclude, the Doberman Shepherd is the smartest and strongest dogs you can own.
Not only are they great for watching over you and your family, but they are also known to be smart enough to learn multiple tricks in one setting.
Keep this dog as they will become reliable lifelong companions.
Even if it seems difficult at first, they will start to grow to your affections and learn how to become responsible pets.
Thus, you can't go wrong with a Doberman Shepherd in your household!

Last week I was chatting with a lady who works with my husband. You know us girls we can talk just about anything, and the conversation led us to Christy telling me about her amazing proposal. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her tell the story as if it happened yesterday not ten years ago. I wish I could have recorded it and replayed it for you.
Christy is a professional acappella singer and so was her husband until he joined the Air Force. On the night of their engagement, Christy had a big performance (hundreds attending) and Jim organized a "surprise" without her knowing. He got a group of fellow singers together, and turned Christy and his song "God Blessed The Broken Road" (awesome song by the way) into an acappella performance.
It was tradition for someone special to hand the performer a rose at the end of their acappella. After Jim handed Christy her rose, the group of gentlemen came from behind her and joined Jim in serenading her. By the last verse, Jim was on one knee, with a cheering crowd, proposing to Christy! They have now been married for 10 years and she still gets gitty telling the story. Love love love!
One of the best parts is the proposal didn't cost Jim a dime, just time writing the acappella and contacting his wonderful friends for help! Stay tuned…I'm hoping to get the video from Jim and Christy's proposal so we can all enjoy the romantic acappella.

How often do you hear things like "let's ban email", "no more attachments", "death to PowerPoint decks", "we're going paperless", "meeting free friday" or one of dozens of "bans" designed to do away with something that has become annoying or inefficient in the workplace? If you're around long enough you can see just about anything cross over from innovative new tool to candidate to be banned. The problem is that banning a tool (or process) in an attempt at simplification never solves the problem. Rather, one should to look at a different approach, an approach that focuses on the work not the tool or process.

Yet the same folks end up at every protest be it about TPP, a tree in Utiku, worm rot in Taranaki. These folk seem to be passionate about so many issues.
I would think this should be seen as a good thing. Many issues are important and those who are passionate about them rate higher in my opinion than those who don't give a damn.
Lots of us "give a damn" but are busy supporting those who don't work so they can protest, by going to work and earning money on which we pay tax.

Re: Some initial clarifications
- Posted by petelomax Jan 14, 2019

OE does not do parallelism. I have done multi-threading in both C++ and phix, and found the latter significantly easier, but then again I am slightly biased.
So does multi-threading use only one core?
Multiple cores. Note however that each thread deserves its own private copy of any data it is working on. (I would recommend using serialize() and deserialize() to set things up.) Here's a simple multi-core-basher:
constant nThreads = 10 sequence results = repeat(0,nThreads) constant res_cs = init_cs() -- critical section procedure mythreads(integer id) -- enter_cs(res_cs) atom res = 0 for i=1 to 40000000 do res += i end for enter_cs(res_cs) results[id] = res leave_cs(res_cs) exit_thread(0) end procedure atom t0 = time() sequence threads = {} for i=1 to nThreads do atom thread = create_thread(routine_id("mythreads"),{i}) threads = append(threads,thread) end for wait_thread(threads) ?results ?elapsed(time()-t0)
On my i3-2120, which I believe has 2 real cores/4 virtual, it takes 17s and TaskManager shows 100% CPU utilisation. If I move the enter_cs() call up inside mythreads() so that only one can run at a time, the execution time jumps to 53s and TaskManager never goes above 33% CPU utilisation. EDIT: on 64-bit, where the results fit in an integer, which makes it tons faster, the timings are 2.3s vs 4.6s, and trivial cases like this are precisely where I would expect C to seriously outshine OE/phix - it wouldn't surprise me in the least if some C compiler manages to replace the entire loop with a single simple algebraic expression such as 40000000*20000001.
As said often, however, if phix on linux does not work for you, the above is useless.
Are sequences implemented as C arrays, not as linked lists?

Introduction. Physical activity has an enormous impact on the human body, affecting each of its systems.
Aim. An assessment of the physical activity and pro-health behaviours of physiotherapy students from the Medical University of Bialystok (MUB) and law students from the University of Bialystok (UoB)
Materials & methods. The research was carried out on two groups of 100 students each from MUB and UoB, using a specially developed diagnostic survey questionnaire, the Physical Activity Goals and Inventory of Pro-health Behaviours Questionnaire.
Results. 73% of MUB students and 49% of UoB considered themselves physically active, with 38% of MUB and 28% of UoB respondents claiming to usually exercise three times a week. About 96% of MUB students and 85% of UoB students knew that inactivity could lead to medical problems. 81% of students from MUB and 65% from UoB took care of their health. There were significant differences between the two student groups in terms of healthy eating habits. A significant correlation was found between field of study and participation in fitness classes, gymnastics and Nordic walking. MUB students had a higher average score for the amount of time regularly spent on physical activity.
Conclusions. Physiotherapy students obtained better results for pro-health behaviours and were more physically active compared to law students. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in favour of physiotherapy students with regard to proper eating habits. There were no statistically significant differences between physiotherapy and law students in terms of their goals in practicing physical activity, their motivational value, the organization of their time, perseverance in action and motivational conflict.
Key words: physical activity, pro-health behaviours, physiotherapy students, law students

STORYLINE Mob presence in the political and business infrastructures of cities like New York and Chicago gave the Mafia the power base needed to run illicit activities, such as gambling and bootlegging. A phenomenon of the modern era of Mafia business is its infiltration into legitimate commerce, as a cover for illegal activities. The episode looks at some of these practices and government measures to stop them. Joey Cantalupe opens this episode by basically stating that one of the keys to the success of the mafia empire is its ability to make profit from legitimate business alongside its illegal rackets. A typical example that is explored in this episode is loan sharking, one of the earliest mafia activities. The immigrant communities from which the mafia sprouted in the USA provide the ideal customers for the loan sharks. Despite the extortionate interest rates charged by these gangsters, there are always people looking for loans, because they cannot get credit through legitimate avenues. This is explained by John Vitale, a victim of loan sharks, who was still avoiding the mob at the time of filming. Furthermore, an undercover film demonstrates the huge interest paid on the smallest of loans. Cantalupe also recounts times when payments were missed and the consequences, while Vitale reveals his personal experiences which paint a vivid picture of the lengths the mob will go to, in order to recover their money. As Cantalupe continues, the loan sharking opened further opportunities. Often when a debt could not repaid, the mafia gained a foothold in the borrower's business. Cantalupe's father owned a property business and the Colombo family used this as a front but they were most heavily involved in the catering business. Cantalupe explains how such businesses could incorporate other business ventures as off-shoots. But it is not just loan sharking that gets the mafia in to legitimate business – with all their illegal activities, especially pornography and narcotics they have the money to fund their own legal enterprises. As such the mafia has its fingers in so many pies 'it can take care of you from the cradle to the grave'. The programme reveals how the mafia also controls the garbage and the trucking. A legitimate garment manufacturer named Conheim explains how he cannot afford not to use the transportation company and refuse collection agency that have been 'suggested' to him. If he refuses, things go missing, deliveries are late and so forth. The mafia have the reputation and means to scare off competition and their union problems. In Newark, drug dealing is the main industry and the programme follows a bust. Newark law enforcement are drastically under funded and overwhelmed. Paddy Carr of the Newark drug squad claims that twenty five years previously, Newark was thriving with a bright future till the mafia took a hold in alliance with local politicians. Lt Freddie Martens of the New Jersey police explains what happened – the mafia completely controlled both legitimate and illegitimate ventures to the exclusion of all others, the frustration eventually leading to riots in which 26 people were killed. The city has never recovered as Herb Stern, a rackets prosecutor, explains. He elaborates that one of the findings of the report in to the riots was a feeling of a completely corrupt government of the city, where everything required a kickback. Stern was actually the man who prosecuted the mayor of Newark and we are left with images of a ghost town which is one big no-go area after 5pm. docuwiki.net IMDB (6.2) Liked it?

Luther posted its second win in a row, defeating Buena Vista University 69-66 this afternoon in Siebens Fieldhouse.
The Norse led by as many as 17 points in the first half, but found themselves in a battle late in the fourth frame. Buena Vista's Holly Schneider, who finished the afternoon with 16 points, knocked down a three-pointer with seven minutes left in the game, to give the Beavers their second lead of the contest since they made the opening basket and led 2-0. The Beavers extended their lead to four, only to see Luther level the score 66-66 with 1:28 remaining. Laura Hamilton scored what proved to be the game winner, assisted by Sarah Holtz, with 51 seconds left in the game.
Holtz led the Norse attack producing a career high 20 points. Holtz was 8-of-12 from the field and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe. She fell one rebound shy of posting a double-double collecting a game high nine.
Madison Spence had her best outing of the year scoring 17, while Kaylee Parks chipped in a career high 15. Spence also recorded a career high five blocked shots.
Buena Vista was led by Erin Gerke who led all scorers with 21 points.
The win gives Luther an American Rivers Conference record of 3-1, 4-7 overall. Buena Vista fell to 0-5 in league play, 5-9 overall.
Luther travels to league leading Wartburg College on Wednesday, Jan. 9. Tip-off is slated for 6:00 p.m.

Asian women have been using rice water for their hair and skin for centuries. A 2010 study focused on Japanese women who used rice water found that it improved the condition of the hair's elasticity. So if you are looking for an all natural way to strengthen your hair the amino acids, vitamin E and minerals in fermented rice water may just do the trick.
There are a plethora of rinses out there that you can try from beer (yes beer!) to coconut water, but what impresses me the most about rice water rinses, is that there is scientific research to support that this can actually benefit your hair.

Gdańsk: Sunshine in the Darkness
About two weeks ago, I visited Gdańsk, Poland, a medieval city in the northern part of the country on the shorelines of the Baltic Sea. Visiting Poland was special for me: it is the land of my maternal grandmother's family and ancestors. In some ways, I felt like the trip was a pilgrimage of sorts. At 90 years old, she never visited Europe, but I think that if she could go anywhere, she would go to Poland.
We arrived on a partly sunny day and were picked up by a 20-something employee from the hostel. He threw our bags in his hatchback, and flew through the outskirts of town to take us to our new home for the next three days: Hostel Happy Seven. When we stepped out of the car, drowsy from travel and hungry for lunch, we set foot on the cobblestone roads of Gdańsk that ran along a narrow canal.
The hostel was cozy and dark. Upon entry, we were required to remove our shoes. After taking a brief rest in our room, we set out for dinner to a unique basement café called 'The Dragon' (Polish translation not available). The café had a similar dark, ombré ambiance to it. The dimly lit basement served amazing pierogi for a great price; an unheard of concept in Norway. With full bellies, we walked the city streets to do a bit of nighttime sightseeing as we headed back to the hostel.
Gdańsk radiated a gothic, medieval vibe…a different, but alluring characteristic that I have never experienced in any other city. The architecture is colorful but dreary, stately but sorrowful, and masculine but feminine. The streets are filled with stray cats that howl and fight underneath cars and in the sidewalk, a sad sight for any feline lover. Black birds line the leafless branches of trees in hoards, cawing throughout the night. The city feels silent, almost lifeless when the sun goes down. It is almost as if you can hear the echoes and reverberations of war from the city's violent past.
When daylight arrives, the sun peaks through the clouds, and Poland is awake once again. Streets are filled with school children, business men and women, and Eastern European tourists alike. Needless to say, English was not an option in this country…most of our communication was primitive, including hand gestures and pictorial signs.
Perhaps most memorable was our trip to the sea. After a frightening train ride with the locals and missing our stop, we finally arrived in Sopot: a small town on the shores of the Baltic. We immediately walked to the beach and strolled along a wooden pier that boasts the claim of being "Europe's longest." The sea was gray and dreary, but I have never seen livelier birds playing in the water. Swans, ducks, seagulls, and pigeons frolicked near the base of the pier: bobbing, flying, and splashing about. It was a magical sight that I will remember for the rest of my life. This was the first time that I saw amicable, happy birds in Gdańsk. There is something about the Baltic Sea that invigorates the senses and wakens the soul, yet it still emanates the same feelings of darkness and obscurity. It is something almost inexplicable, but worth experiencing first-hand.

Kim Kardashian's Terror: Her Dress Caught On Fire At The CFDA Awards
Oh, no! A newly pregnant Kim Kardashian just revealed on Instagram that her dress almost went up in flames after the CFDAs — and you'll never believe who saved her life!
Kim Kardashian, 34, looked incredible as she walked down the red carpet alongside Kanye West, 36, at the CFDA Awards in New York City on Monday night, June 1. However, their first night out after revealing that Kim is pregnant with their second child did not go completely as planned. The expectant mom's dress caught on fire, leaving her terrified until one very "Happy" singer came to her aid!
"Shout out to Pharrell & [his wife] Helen who saved my life last night!" Kim captioned a photo of the two couples, letting her fans know she had a pretty scary wardrobe malfunction. "After the awards at dinner the feathers of my dress caught on fire from a candle & they jumped on me to get it out!"
Apparently, Proenza Schouler should put a "flammable" warning on their glam gowns!
But in all seriousness, thank goodness for Pharrell and his wife jumping in to save Kim before it was too late. Not only could Kim have seriously been injured, but she also has a tiny bun in the oven that she needs to keep safe, too.
Thankfully, Kim seems to be over the whole thing already. Not only did she add in the playful tag "#WereOn[fire emoji]," but she even threw an "LOL" into her caption to break it up. She totally handed it like a pro!
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — Are you shocked to learn that Kim's dress was so flammable? What do you think of Pharrell and his wife saving her? Comment below!

Introduction: How to Make a Worm Compost Sifter
Simply put, it's three second-hand bicycle rims screwed to some batons and mounted onto a frame that sits on top of a wheelbarrow. You load up the cylinder with compost and as you spin the cylinder smaller bits of compost ready to go on the garden fall through the wire mesh. Larger bits are deposited out the end for further composting. Costa's video is straightforward and easy to follow. In need of more detail, I have undertaken the build and recorded it here in my own worm compost sifter.
WARNING: I have a year 8 pass in woodworking, so some of the steps can probably be done better! Also, be careful with the tools kids and use the appropriate safety gear.
The compost sifter is ideally used as a faster way to sort worms from worm compost. The 6mm wire I eventually used, should be small enough to stop worms dropping through into the finished vermicompost.
However, some smaller worms and also cocoons in the worm compost will fall through the wire. You can either sort through the sifted worm compost to retrieve the worms or leave them where they are. A more thorough sorting method is to take the finished worm compost and place it under a light source.
Worms are photovores and will naturally burrow towards the centre of the pile. After giving the worms ten to twenty minutes to burrow begin scraping the worm compost away. It should be devoid of worms or only have a few slow coaches left behind.
Step 1: Tools Needed
- Wood for the frame – This is store bought. Dimensions are 1200mm by 70mm by 30mm. Costa's video, rightly suggests, that you can also use any recycled wood to build the frame. A recycled pallet would be ideal.
- Wood for batons. This is used to screw the bike rims and form the cylinder. Each baton is 1200mm by 42mm by 19mm.
- Bicycle wheel rims. I was able to pick these up at a local bike recycler for $AU10 each. Most bicycle shops or bicycle repair places should have some lying around. The gentleman at Bicycle Recycle was very confused when I needed three rims and probably MORE confused when I explained I was going to use them to make a worm compost sifter.
- An angle grinder. While not mandatory, it makes removing spokes from the bicycle rims much easier.
- 4 castors. These were chosen to be small enough to fit inside the bicycle rims to turn the sifter.
- A square and pencil to make sure that all the lines are straight and true.
- Pliers are a much more labour intensive way to remove the spokes from the bicycle rims.
- Electric drill because screwdrivers are so last century.
- A hand saw and sawhorse for cutting the pieces of the frame and the batons to the right length.
- Screws to assemble the frame and attach batons to the bicycle rims.
- Tape measure.
- Tin snips.
- The wheelbarrow is pretty important. It is these measurements that will determine the size of the frame.
- The wire mesh lines the inside of the bicycle rims and forms the sifter. The original wire mesh I used was too big and I changed it for 6mm square wire used in aviaries to help keep out pests like mice.
Step 2: Worm Compost Sifter Build Instructions
The frame is constructed to fit over the top of the wheelbarrow.
The frame is four pieces of the larger wood lengths. Two lengths match the width of the wheelbarrow and two matches the length of the wheelbarrow.
NB: Make sure the body of the wheelbarrow is square. The one pictured is slightly wider at the top than at the bottom. Make adjustments to the layout of the frame appropriately.
The cylinder is three bicycle rims with the spokes removed and they are then fastened to the batons. You CAN remove the spokes with a pair of wire cutters, pliers or a screwdriver but do it with an angle grinder; it is so much more fun. Spokes are under tension and the first few will "ping" as the tension is broken. With an angle grinder.
Attaching the bicycle rims to the batons
Two of the three bicycle rims are attached with screws. The third is purposely not attached so that it can be adjusted once the castors are attached.
The castors are held in place with four screws. Because the spacing of the castors and the bicycle rims may need adjusting, hold the castors in with only one or two screws before final positioning of the cylinder is finished.
This bit is a bit fiddly. The third rim should only be attached once the correct adjustments for fitting the castors into the first and third rim.
Cut the wire used to sift the compost to length. It should be slightly larger than the circumference of the bicycle rims. Then it can be rolled up and fed down the centre of the cylinder. Unwind the wire inside the cylinder and attach it to the batons using the plastic ties. The fun of this is that these are the one-way plastic ties. There's no coming back from this.
NOTE: There are two rolls of wire attached to the cylinder. The wire turned out to be about 30mm short, which required cutting and attaching the second roll of wire. Once the correct sized wire is attached, you should have something that looks like this:
Which produces this BEAUTIFUL black gold. Or worm compost if you're slightly less excitable.

The RNC vs. The Internet
November 11, 2008 1 Comment
by twit
The lights are on but nobody's home…
This kind of thing has previously happened to the McCain campaign, when no one was minding the online store that allowed comments on all of the items for sale. But now it is the RNC's turn to open a "feedback forum" without moderation, suggesting that the RNC fails to understand how the Internet works:
and about six hours later, the top two suggestions on the site are:
At about nine ten hours later, there are 3947 3963 3990 4015 votes for Truck Nutz for all! and 725 731 738 750 comments. It took days for the McCain campaign to notice and shut comments down for their site.
It has become performance art at this point…
update: they finally noticed!

Montreal diverting just 20% of its organic household waste, says auditor general
Composting, with inconveniences like insects and odours, a 'tremendous challenge,' report says
Afifa Maaninou would like to compost her organic waste, but she can't, because there are 14 units in her apartment building in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood, and the city only provides compost bins to residential buildings with fewer than nine units.
When she called her borough office and asked what she could do, she was redirected to a city bureaucrat, who told her to try putting it out on the street anyway.
Nobody picked it up.
"If you're not on their list, they won't take it," Maaninou says.
It's problems like these that contribute to Montreal's dismal rate of diverting organic waste from its landfill — just 20 per cent in 2016, according to the city's auditor general's report — far from the lofty goal of 60 per cent the province set in 2011.
Quebec has since postponed that target date to 2025, expanding the scope of its plan to divert organic waste to include factories, businesses and institutions.
"The diversion of organic waste from landfill sites is a tremendous challenge for municipalities," said Auditor General Michèle Galipeau in her report, released this week.
Nearly 47 per cent of Quebec household waste is organic and thus compostable, according to Galipeau's report.
While she said recycling has been widely adopted by Montrealers, far fewer are composting food and other organic waste.
In part, that's because of the city's focus on providing composting to single-family homes and buildings with eight units or less, although the city says that covers 87 per cent of residential buildings.
The report says it's also a challenge because many people are apprehensive about odours and attracting insects.
From 'box of worms' to 1,606 compost bins
"It's not smellier than trash," insists Faisal Shennib, the environmental co-ordinator at Concordia University.
Concordia now has 65 bins throughout the campus, but Shennib said when the university started its recycling program in 2008, you might have found "a box of worms" in somebody's office.
This school year, it collected 1,606 bins of compost — 684 more bins than the previous year.
Shennib said there was a "huge educational component" behind getting people on campus to compost. He and his went to faculty meetings and met with students to talk up the benefits of composting.
The auditor general cites two major municipal initiatives which may result in increasing the amount of organic waste that's composted.
The first is the construction of five organic waste treatment plants across Montreal, three of which are expected to be operational by 2020.
The other is the expansion of composting to all residential buildings with eight units or less.
"By 2019, we expect all these buildings, or around 540,000 doors, to be served," said a spokesperson for the city in a text message.
There is no immediate plan to expand the program to larger apartment buildings, which the auditor general said is "imperative" if the city wants to boost its composting rate.
The city says it's at the information-gathering stage, with the intention "to move forward quickly."
Opposition councillor and Saint-Laurent borough Mayor Alan DeSousa says the city should be moving more quickly to roll out its brown compost bins to all residences, piloting organic waste pick-up in bigger apartment buildings at the same time.
"You have to be able to play on two pianos at the same time," DeSousa said.

Each mother is typed with either one or two elements, each element is avalible except for Light and No-Element.
1 Fuuko – WaterFuuko's best stat is in luck, and worst is in Magic attack a majority of her babies that she will produce will be more balanced all around even her in magic attack while being the worst stat it is not extremely low.
2 Ellie – Fire
Ellie is seen as a magical type, her best stat is in Magic defence, with magic attack a close second, and her attack stat is the lowest, all of her babies will be more superior in magic and magical defense, while lacking in physical both offense and defense.
3 Narika – Earth
Narika has off the charts TEC stat, while lacking in both speed and magic attack. All of her babies will have great accuracy, with good attack stat, however they will be mowing a lot slower than babies made by other moms.
4 Chloe – Wind
Chloe's best stat is luck, and worst stat is physical attack. She is KINDA like Fuuko in regards to balanced stats however, her Attack stat is extremely low making up that with her good TEC and speed. Her babies that she makes will move quickly and be very accurate while having really high luck.
5 Serina – Fire/Earth
Serina just like Narika has off the charts good TEC, with horrible physical attack. While her attack is the lowest stat she has, her speed is her second lowest and her magic attack is the second highest. Her babies will be born with good accuracy and also deal good magical damage, however they will be moving very slowly.
6 Torri – Wind/Water
Torri is the third of the mothers who has more or less balanced in terms of stats. Her best stat is in magic defense and her worst is in physical attack. Her second best stat is in speed, while her second worst stat is in magic attack. Her babies will have high defenses and good speed, but lack in both forms of attack.
7 Feene – Dark
Feene has really great magic defense s her best stat, however he speed is extremely low, tied with the lowest of all the mothers. Her defense, magic attack, and physical attack all come very close second, third and fourth place respectively. While her luck and TEC are tied for second lowest, they are still in the decent level.
More Info編集
By looking at this you will notice alot of mothers do not have good physical attack, this is not to be a problem since there ae some who do have their physical attack as a close second. it should also be mentioned no mother has their best stat as Magical attack also.
Recommended Mothers for classes編集
A few things about this section, this is biased on my personal opinion only which I calculated biased on the mother's growth rates given to the baby. Some mothers like Fuuko and Chloe have sharing recommendations due to the growth rates for both are extremely similar it doesn't matter which you pick. A recommendation section for trimating will be added at a later date. Also not every class is in this list that doesn't mean they are not good, just do not fit nicely in any of the mother's growths.
Fuuko – Theif, Magic Knight, Dungeon Master, BondsmanEllie – Warlock, Magician, Cleric, Witch
Narika – Grappler, Merchant, Ether Sniper, Gun Saint
Chloe – Thief, Blacksmith, Gambler, Astromancer
Serina – Archer, Merchant, Hunter
Torri – Ranger, Berserker
Feene – Paladin, Dark Knight, Magic knight, Lancer, Minstrel

I love buckwheat. I always forget about it, but recently it came back into my life and now I can't let it go. It has a nutty, very earthy flavor that tastes so… real. Maybe that doesn't quite make sense, but the earthiness just makes it so substantial. The crunch of buckwheat groats (recipes to come!) is incredibly satisfying and this pancake recipe made with buckwheat flour has such a simple, natural taste.
So what is the deal with buckwheat? Paleo peeps shun it BUT it's technically not a grain. Buckwheat is a seed of a flower. So, it's a seed. Not a grain. Certainly paleo (in my book), although most paleo eaters shun it due to it's high carbohydrate content and lower nutritional value. HELLO CARBS! If you're vegan, you probably ain't scared of them. And if you're high carb vegan, you're about to praise Jesus for these pancakes. But 1 serving of buckwheat contains 6 grams of protein, as well. This recipe has 1 cup of buckwheat flour, so if you eat the whole batch (which isn't hard to do, trust me) that is 24 grams of protein! Even if you just eat half the batch, that is 12 grams of plant based protein. Sorry, I wasn't aware that carbs and protein were BAD for you.
A few notes about the recipe:
This is a recipe for the most basic pancakes you can get your hands on. This allows you to flavor and top them with whatever your little heart desires. They are not sweet, allowing you to go for a more savory dish if you please. You can add more liquid for a thinner batter and create more of a crepe which can easily be made savory by stuffing it with whatever saltiness you love (you can leave out the maple syrup to really get that affect).
If you use the original recipe and want a sweeter flavor, just add a little more maple syrup to the batter. OR just douse them in maple syrup post-cooking. That's what I do. Or add fruit and little maple syrup on top. And they are perfect! I'm not a fan of overly sweet pancakes (or breakfast foods in general, for that matter). I'm trying to fuel my body for the day, not put myself in a sugar coma for the next 12 hours. But, that is what I love so much about these pancakes! Not super sweet and so earthy I feel fueled and healthy after consuming them.
Simple, Basic Buckwheat Pancakes
Makes about 8 medium sized pancakes
1 cup buckwheat flour (or fresh ground buckwheat groats=buckwheat flour)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking soda*
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbs. maple syrup
1/4 cup applesauce
3/4 cup non-dairy milk or water*
*I am at altitude (over 7,000 feet) so you may need to up the baking soda to 1 tsp. and decrease liquid to 1/2 cup if you are lower. Start with 1/2 cup of liquid and if the batter is too thick add the remaining 1/4 cup.
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add wet, and whisk to combine.
Heat frying pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil of choice to keep pancakes from sticking (coconut oil works great or the spray can of olive oil).
Drop about two tablespoons of batter into pan and allow to spread. Cook until bubbles begin to form around edges (or edges begin to harden) and then flip. Cook about 2 minutes per side.
As the pan heats up during the cooking process, you may need to decrease your heat to medium-low so that future pancakes don't burn.
I like to top mine with almond butter, fruit, and maple syrup.

Two of the core foundations of a property's success converge to give hoteliers insight while providing guests with what they want.
BANGKOK—Technology and marketing. Marketing and technology.
When it comes to hotels, those two disciplines are like wine and cheese, or shoes and socks: They might be fine on their own, but when paired, can provide complimentary palettes, efficiency and even a hint of camaraderie, according to consultants participating in a Hotel News Now roundtable discussion conducted in conjunction with the recent International Society of Hospitality Consultants annual conference.
Marketing and technology—two of the core necessities for any hotel's success—are fast becoming indistinguishable, said Steven Seghers, president of Irvine, California-based Hyperdisk Marketing.
"If you're in marketing now and you do not have a strong understanding of technology, you're in serious trouble," he said, referring to what he calls "fusion marketing."
"When you think about advertising, you have to be thinking about data insights," he said. "When you're thinking about direct response, you're thinking about (customer relationship management). When you're thinking about your website, you're thinking about software and integration and personalization. So, everything has a counter-balance.
"You cannot engage in a marketing program without having a complementary technology solution to support it," Seghers added.
The meshing of the two disciplines is epitomized by social media, said Ravish Jhala, director for Mumbai-based Haatt India Services.
"You can schedule your post in a single tool, and it manages all your channels and gives you a report of which channel is performing for you for your brand, where you should spend your money on campaigning," Jhala said. "It's a very guided decision a hotelier can make using a tool on technology."
The integration of marketing and technology is a big part of creating the experiences that consumers crave and hoteliers strive to provide, said Jeff Dover, principal with Toronto-based Fastrategy. But it also has some potential drawbacks.
"Instead of going to a restaurant in a hotel or sitting in the lobby with a book or newspaper, people want to get together and have these social experiences," he said. "But the technology is really cutting back on the social experiences that they have with the (hotel's) staff. You book online, you check in online, and you check out online. You might never even have to go to the front desk anymore. You pick your own room.
"There's all these social spaces where we're putting our guest to interact with each other, and there's less interaction with the hotel," Dover added.
Joanne Jia, head of Asia for London-based Christie & Co., said the emergence of common areas for socializing is a clear indicator of what consumers of all ages want, which provides a great incubator for the technology-marketing convergence.
Guests' habits and preferences are clearer, and that helps create an interactive environment, she said.
"They just want to talk with others," Jia said. "They do not really say, 'Oh, I want to make a good friend,' but they just don't want to be alone."
Jhala said studying data trends can give hoteliers better insight into consumer preferences.
"I feel we are more reactive in terms of decision-making than proactive in decision-making," he said. "This leads to (the questions): Does a hotelier really know which guest is attractive for him, which guest is attractive for his brand, and do we have the right to do the analysis of the guest sentiment in the online space? Because all the guests today are in the online space, and they talk about the brand in the online world. We need to understand the sentiment of the guest in the online space compared to our competition brands and do the analysis of the data."
Specific wires—or at least airwaves—have crossed as the melding of technology and marketing plays out, speakers said. Wi-Fi internet access and payment options are important issues around the globe. Jia pointed out the need for hoteliers to understand guest preferences in these areas, particularly in the payment department.
"I spend one-third of my time in China. … I do not need to bring any cards. I just have my mobile with me, (which is) fine because you can pay by Apple, you can pay by WeChat pay or Ali Pay," Jia said. "Now when Chinese tourists go to Europe or the U.S., what they use is Union Pay. … Union Pay now also links with Ali Pay, which is like PayPal, but PayPal currently does not have the function to scan it. In China, you scan it, and you pay it. Providing the technology is as important as knowing what consumers want and when they want it."
