Need advice for a problem pet?

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Number 1, i am not an animal lover or an animal hater for either cats or dogs. I have 3 cats (2 outside, 1 inside) and 1 dog. I have a history of a previous medium sized house dog for 15 years, when it passed away of old age, i was happy to have my life back, no more cleaning up messes, ruined flooring/carpet, scratched furniture doors, chewed up things, digging, messy yard, urine stained snow, messy car, and no more hair. I was dog free for 3 years. Then, last spring, my spouse decided to get a german shepard puppy, didnt even ask my opinion. I absolutely cannot stand this dog. It is hyper. It has to sleep in a kennel in our room or would tear the house down. It is in the kennel at least 8 hours during the day because we both work. When out of the cage, it turns in circles to the point of distraction, snagging up the carpet as it goes, it has damaged my couch, chair, outside plants in the ground, rips them right up, shredded brooms, cardboard boxes (UPS delivery + its contents left on the porch), basically total piarrhana dog wants to eat everything, also eats feces (its own & the litter box treats) it wants to maul and jump all over you all the time, needless to say it is now almost a year old and is about 5 ft tall when it stands on its back legs, it will snap at your face when it jumps, stepping on its back foot doesnt work, down, no, etc commands dont work, it is ruining my new back door with the jumping on the door to be let back in, it wants to maul your arms all the time and bite, i have not taken a nap on my couch for almost a year for fear of being bitten in the face if doze off, i cant even sit on my couch to watch TV without being mauled. My child disappears to the bedroom and only comes out to eat dinner. Dinner is a joke it runs around the table begging and pretty much can sit and reach anything at the table to pull it down, kitchen countertops too, it doesnt even have to get on its back legs to reach anything to get it off the countertops. it chases and mauls the cat so much, the cat is probably ready for a nervous breakdown (declawed). the dog is fed and watered properly, has plenty of doggie things to chew, nylabones, pigears, giant rawhide bones, a leather shoe that is "its" property. the dog has been to the vet, is fixed, shots etc and all that is taken care of. it has a electric fence in the yard and knows the perimeters, that was the only thing it learned easily, only went over that fence once. I am in the process of moving to a new home, that i have to remodel, we are going to be putting in thousands of dollars into this home. i absolutely do not want this dog in my house, or for that matter, outside ruining my yard either. how can i convince my spouse to get rid of this dog, give it away, etc. we are not home enough to give it the attention it needs, no time for those recommended long walks and exercise, weekends in the summer are not free, etc. this dog absolutely does not fit our lifestyle and it was a huge investment ($600 dog + $300 fence/collar + vet bill, food, etc) that we cant get back, also feeling guilty that this dog has "bonded" if you want to call that myself and child are terrorized by this dog and neither one of us can absolutely stand this animal, small dog would have been more tolerable, but this large dog (he wanted it for to detour trespassers) is just inexcusable, but also feeling guilty that dogs are pack animals, and this "pack" is sometimes a 12+ hours working family. Extremely hard to convince the spouse that they are wrong etc. i think that the spouse actually would rather be without this dog. Everyone (family/friends etc) that has heard the situation or knows the dog, says to get rid of it. what do i do short of getting a divorce, which i have threatened. i will be fair in saying that the cats, i would be happy to see them go too, tired of cat hair, litter boxes & coughing up furballs. Any advice?

It is all about management. First of all, GS’s are very active dogs. They are working dogs. They need to be stimulated and worked. Your dogs needs to be active. Take him to the dog park. Take him for walks, etc. He needs to be active. This breed is known for needing an active lifestyle.

Basic obedience classes will help tremendously with getting him to settle down. He needs positive reinforcement training. That will not only settle him down for your sake, but give him something to do. Work so to speak.

I understand your frustration, but it truly is all about mgmt.

Check in your local area. PetsMart, PetCo, in-home obedience trainers or even some community colleges offer basic obedience classes for their community.

Good Luck!

Thanks everibody . I hope I will never get these spasm messages again.

LOTTERY SCAM:-
♦Its purely a ‘SPAM’. Do not respond to any of those messages as they intend to ‘STEAL’ your personal information. It is also enough for one E-mail to bait users into more of such lottery winning games. It is entirely a ‘FAKE’. Who would give you free money if you had never participated in any of the contests?

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse/abuse-15.html

♦Its an EASY way of getting personal information and send you MORE of such messages to FILL up your Inbox! Yahoo keeps telling that they never send lottery E-mails to anyone saying that you’ve won XXX amounts. Never go to a site, which has contests and hosts mail lotteries.

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse/abuse-63.html

♦People get thousands of E-mails everyday saying that they’ve ‘WON’ lottery prizes and amounts and even go to the extent of claiming their prize. NEVER RESPOND TO IT!!
Folks are also getting ‘DUPED’ by such kind of activities and fall to the trap of spammers! These lotteries ‘CONFIRM’ your working E-mail address and intend to send more of such mails

Monday, April 26th, 2010

1)Read the following two examples. Then, respond to the statement below.
Example 1: A crowd of nearly 4,000 people gathered yesterday for a free concert in Central Park. Eight local bands gathered to perform three songs each. At the end, all eight bands performed an encore. Audience members donated a total of nearly ten thousand dollars to support the OCH, or Organization to Combat Homelessness in New York.

Example 2: A huge crowd gathered yesterday for a long-awaited free concert in Central Park. Eight of the best New York bands gathered to perform their favorite songs. At the end, all of the bands performed an encore after the crowd begged for more. Audience members generously donated to the Organization to Combat Homelessness in New York.

Example 2 is more subjective because it inserts opinions in the description of the event.

-True
-False

2)Which of the following categories is NOT an example of how media is classified?
-the tools used to produce it
-its intended audience
-its mode of delivery
-number of mediums used

What’s the best Climate Change Documentary Film Can we make?

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Our project for our Finals is the Documentary film we’ll be making upon our community service. our topic’s about climate change. i wanted to make a short film on climate change to awaken people about the global problem we’re now facing wherein man gradually suffers.

I would like to start the story with the creation of God, there’s a clip and narration. but i don’t know what’s next to that. the only idea i have is for the end of the film, where i’ll be showing the footage of our destroyed environment in the present.

help me please.

It seems appropriate for you to couch AGW in religious terms. While the AGW advocates use science to advance their cause, the science falls short, and they make up the difference with faith based methods.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_consensus
AGW requires some religious thinking to truly grasp it.
http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/lds/meridian/2005/sci_rel_qa.html

To scientifically support the AGW theory, you need to provide evidence for the AGW articles of faith:

1) The earth is currently in a warming phase. The problem is that satellite measurements have failed to show a clear trend over the last decade (TLC for near surface):
http://www.ssmi.com/msu/msu_data_description.html#msu_amsu_time_series

2) The warming is caused by high levels of CO2.
http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/File:Atmospheric_Absorption_Bands_png
The problem is that high CO2 concentrations are associated with cooling phases of the earth’s climate:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/01/30/co2-temperatures-and-ice-ages/

3) The rise in the CO2 concentration from 0.028% to 0.039% of the atmosphere is caused by man’s burning of fossil fuels, and not the effect of a rise in the temperature of the ocean.
http://www2.canada.com/components/print.aspx?id=433b593b-6637-4a42-970b-bdef8947fa4e
The problem is that measurements done in the 1800’s do not support that thesis:
1878: CO2 = 344 ppm
1880: CO2 = 271 ppm
http://www.springerlink.com/content/t7h40g8355613013/?p=39b2395f1a8e43e5b1acb6d5c2ad8e2f&pi=1

4) The current temperature of the earth is historically unprecedented:
http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/McKitrick-hockeystick.pdf
Historians sing a different tune:
http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/mandias/lia/vikings_during_mwp.html
So do scientists who study ancient flora and fauna:
http://www.co2science.org/data/mwp/mwpp.php

5) If the earth continues to warm, it will be a disaster. The evidence supports just the opposite. There will not be more terrible weather. There is no good indication that this will affect the pandemic rate. The oceans are not rising at an alarming rate. Glaciers and sea ice are not going away globally. Agriculture would benefit, and might be able to keep up with our growing population a little longer if global warming actually happens.

6) Governments can and should control the climate. There is no reason to believe that government action will affect the climate on earth any more that it would on the surface of the sun. The draconian measures being proposed by governments are highly controversial.

******* the formatting is messed up, I know.. and I had to take out personal information to stay safe :) I guess I should add that I’m not actually looking for anyone to hire me through here, I’m just looking for feedback on my resume.

Thanks everyone!

It looks good to me. Do you already have a professional resume prepared? If not, you might want to look online, or in your local area, for a professional resume writing service. I have used a company called Rescue My Resume in the past. Had good luck, but they are only one of many out there. I have found that a well written resume has a very positive affect on potential employers, and you would be surprised how many people don’t bother to have one prepared. Anway, it looks like you are on the right track best of luck to you. M:)

The negative effects of commercial advertising on TV? Can anyone tell me what is the best way to search for an?

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

Hi I am trying to write a paper about the negative effects that commercials / advertising has on our society via TV. I would like to write about political Ads, Ads that focus on children as the consumer etc… any advices please!!!!!

Check out the search engine results below. Some may be good, some not so good, but it should give you a start.

are my answers right?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

1.) If a word problem is using information that represents a distance, a rate of speed, and amount of time, what relationship do these 3 pieces of information have? i put Rate of speed = (Distance) (Amount of time)

2.)The sum of 3 consecutive odd integers is equal to 386. Choose the equation that could be used to find the first number, x. i put x+(x+2)+(x+4)= 386

3.)Twice the sum of a number and 8 is the same as the difference of 3 and the number. Find the equation that could be used to find the number, x. 2(x+8)=3-1

4.)If a pair of shoes originally marked $90 is discounted 40%, what is the cost of the shoes after the discount? i put $36

5.)
The perimeter of a triangle is 36 inches. The short side is 4 inches less than the medium length side. The long side is 7 inches longer that the medium length side. Find the length of the medium length side. i put 14

6.)The total price of a new television, including a 15% delivery charge, is $1725. What is the price of the television excluding the delivery charge? i put $1275

1) No. Any of the following is correct:
distance = rate of speed * amount of time
time = distance / rate of speed
rate of speed = distance / time

2) Right on. Point of interest, three odd numbers cannot sum to an even number. odd + odd = even and even + odd = odd.

3) Close - 2(x+8) = 3-x

4) No - $36 is the amount of discount. The price of the shoes is 90 - 36 = 54. Think of it this way - would shoes that are 40% off cost less than half of their original price? Not a chance.

5) Let x be the length of the medium side.
x-4 + x + x + 7 = 36
3x - 4 + 7 = 36
3x + 3 = 36
3x = 33
x = 11

6) 1725 = 1.15x
1500 = x

Which two documentary films are the most visually startling, dramatic and effective?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

I choose one Russian, one German, both made in ’30s within a couple years of each other and both heralding–from the perspective of each protagonist–what would become the savage conflict of the Eastern Front. They are ALEXANDER NEVSKY and TRIUMPH des WILLENS (Triumph of the Will). If you’ve seen them, what do you think?

Hi Friends,

Concerning Evolution, how many tries did it take the Bombardier Beedle to get the firing chemicals just right?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

so that it stopped blowing itself up prematurely ?

It appears to me that this little beedle has a very complex set of chemicals that causes its Fire Blasting abilities….

Here are some unbiased details of the Beedle’s functions from the "Institute of Physics"
http://www.iop.org/Media/Press%20Releases/2008/press_29046.html

"The bombardier beetle, found mainly in Africa and Asia, is remarkable in that it can fire a powerful jet of hot, toxic fluid to fight off predators such as birds and frogs. While the chemical reaction that makes the venom has been understood for some time, the actual power behind the venomous squirt, which can travel as far as 20cm, has been cause for speculation.

Quantities of hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide gases build up in the beetle’s abdomen but, when necessary for defence, get mixed together in a connected ‘combustion chamber’ to produce toxic benzoquinone. This hot fluid is then fired off at force in the face of enemy predators.

The key to the beetle’s powerful defensive trick is in its combustion chamber’s inlet (or entry) and exit valves. The inlet valve opens to receive the chemicals, which begin to boil as soon as they meet, and closes when a sufficient amount of gas has been received.

As the gases react together, they generate heat and increase the pressure in the closed chamber. When the pressure reaches a critical point, the end of the exit valve is forced open and the hot fluid is ejected as a powerful burst of toxic steam in a process known as "flash evaporation".

Once the gas is released, the exit valve closes, the inlet valve opens and the chamber fills again, preparing for the next venomous ejection."

So after seeing these amazing functions….how many tries did it take the beedle to perfect its present day function?

Or was it very intelligent design from the start?

Physicists are at this moment still trying to grasp what is even occuring in order to develop new technologies based on this design from nature.
As seen here…"The bombardier beetle is inspiring designers of engines, drug-delivery devices and fire extinguishers to improve spray technologies, writes Andy McIntosh, from Leeds University, and Novid Beheshti, of Swedish Biomimetics 3000 Ltd, in April’s Physics World."

Thank you for your intelligent review and answers : )
Also….Scientists recently watched the "blasts" in slow motion and noticed that what appears to be One Spurt…is actually a repeated series of smaller blasts that are released in such a way to not propel the beedle like a rocket!….

Isnt that Just Amazing?

What a deal that is, that this little crittle can do all that…..what are the chances of that perfection being developed by chance? *smiles*

This is to be an unbiased review of these things….do you hav an unbiased answer for me? : )
I thought it would be more obvious really….but my mention of "how many tries" is purposefully worded to show the silliness of such a thought : )

I believe that this little beetle was created by God…The non believer or the evolutionist will dig up all kinds of theory’s that will convince many people, just as they have done the last 250 years or so…but God has told us of these things.
