If you’ve been watching Cesar Milan as I have you have probably seen people giving too much affection to their dogs because of one reason or another.
this makes the dog the alpha in the family and usually aggressive to other animals
in Cesar’s show you see all those people that finally see the problem they’ve created by giving too much affection and then they call Cesar to help them control the pet
now, I’m not Cesar Milan but today I met a family that spoiled their dog
it’s a great therapy for the family but poor dog…
I won’t go into details here about the dog but I will say that the owner walks the dog wearing a baseball bat
why?
well because the dog is aggressive (since it thinks it’s an alpha) and attacks other dogs
and instead of handling the dog the right way, the guys wears a baseball bat to kick the other dog in case of the fight
now, he takes his dog on a leash but that’s not the reason to beat the other dog when his dog provokes the other dog
strange…
every hour or two my or my dad’s job is to help Mina (the cat) get off the tree, the house or similar
this is how it looks like
It’s been more than a year since I’ve transferred any of the files from my mobile phone to my computer and I finally did it
the reason is that my Toshiba laptop P200-14O has poor Bluetooth support under Linux
to enable it, I had to install the omnibook module and start it with something like modprobe omnibook ectype=12
now for the fun part, lets start with an old photo of myself that my friend made a looong time ago
here it is
and this is my cell phone Sony Ericsson K-700i (guess which one)
this is a game I used to play A LOT
it’s called Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
I used to panzer the sh*t out of people
ah, the good days
here are some cool pictures of the hills of Soko Banja where I spent some good time last year
I was fascinated with this small object in the middle of the forest and I didn’t know at the time what it was
later I found out it was a small orthodox church people built probably on the site where the Turks killed some local people

then I saw a larger group of objects below it and I knew they were a restaurant/kind of hotel that I knew from before
here’s a view of Soko Banja from those hills
and then there is Soko Grad, an ex Turkish fortress, now a tourist site
and a look at the hills around the fortress
and finally something I laughed a lot about ![]()
this guy made a bull bar for his yugo car
Some 20 years ago, biologist Richard Lenski, of Michigan State University took a single Escherichia coli bacteria and then kept on feeding it the glucose
one bacteria lead to many and he made 12 different populations that he kept going for 20 years
but then, at about 31 thousand 500 generations of bacteria later, he noticed Escherichia gained the ability to metabolise citrate
the other populations didn’t develop this
now, being careful, Lenski has an archive of every 500 generations stored, so he could replay the process and see if the later generations would develop the same ability (mutation)
the result was, only the original population developed the same mutation when replayed

you can learn a lot about humans by watching the mess they create with their dogs
I have a neighbor that has a dog his kid brought home
he keeps her on a leash because the dog digs in the yard
instead of telling the dog to stop digging and making a point of it he plans to let the dog walk somewhere away from home which will probably result in the dog starving and dying
these days, I’m watching Cesar Milan’s videos
there you can see all dog behavior problems are actually the problems with the people that don’t know how and why dogs act the way they do
they usually see the dogs as humans and nurture bad behavior by petting the dogs
and this revels things not so many people want to talk about
in many families the wife is the one leading the pack
instead of the wife and the husband doing it together
and more disturbingly
it shows the poor state the todays family is in, in regards to leadership
the authorities don’t do much to promote social values, correct behaviors, morals
and as a result you have broken families and dog troubles
families just don’t know how to handle owning a dog
and probably, families don’t know the right way to handle kids
or the relationship between the husband and the wife
in my opinion, both a guy and a girl feel a need to have sex (hormones kick in) so they do it and then they are usually stuck with a kid (unless they use protection)
and all kind of bad things happen from that point on
it’s really dumb
and the real problem is we just don’t have a plan as a society as to what is the best way to behave, to do in our lives
