That is why that bloody dog - they are about as big as a goat & become VERY protective, and are easy to train to chase certain people (strangers), and make a lot of noise, and even bring them back to the yards at nite.... Waimaranas I think???? look a bit like a cross between "Lassie" and a "great dane" thingie except they do not carry a mini cask of rum for the frozen mountaineer..... Then you may get a chance at some target practice.....

In png a while back I had 2 guard dogs one we called "stupid", and the other "dumber" - one would bark and kick up an awful fuss barking VERY loud, but wagging tail in happiness, the other dog was "shy"? and would cower in the background, till someone went to pet stupid, then dumber would burst forth and BITE in the groin - what a dumb place to bite and the stupidity of the person to try to pet the "guard dog" he he he

I trained them according to their "personalities" - - Not all that difficult to do, be consistent, and don't "fool around" as it confuses the status of a working dog.... I use rewards and no "punishment" and when "off duty" are on the chain, and when working free to roam in the yard which is secured to keep the dogs in.... The "chain is attached to a long high tensile wire about 8 ft high so the dog has a long run with water and kennel (on the back verandah), at one end and nothing to get tangled around at the other - the chain is a standard light dogchain of double length (16-18 ft)....

Remember a dog is a pack animal and NEEDS to know its "social position" which HAS to be below all your kids, else jealousy problems may arise as you will be the "Alpha dog in the pack"... therefore never "restle" with a dog as a pet....

And so, back to topic, I feel "Climate Change" is vastly over-rated, as it changes by the hour - sometimes in periods briefer than a minute, or second even... So what is new? its hot, its cold, its wet, its dry, its windy, its calm, its sunny, its overcast, and sometimes the rain is solid and sometimes it is foggy. It comes in any compination and intensity.....

Now to post some calming thoughts about other metrological/climate threads....

Did you hear about NAASA recently admitting that it knowingly decieved the public by issuing false information about global warming between 2004 and 2006 because of political pressure on them at an election time?

People like that should'nt tell lies. They say it wont happen again Quote "they have cleaned thier act up"

Some one should be castrated for that.

Brian,

When conditions change by the hour, we Brits call that "weather".
Greenpeace are about to be hauled up by the short and curlies according to a report I saw yesterday.

Quote:
A group of real estate developers and property owners in La Manga del Mar Menor - a spit of sandy, low-lying coastal land and Murcia’s premier beach resort - are threatening to take Greenpeace to court over its graphic predictions of what global warming may do to the area, which they say have caused house prices to plummet. The lawsuit, which the plaintiffs plan to present unless Greenpeace agrees to an out of court settlement of almost EUR 30 million in damages, comes more than six months after La Manga featured prominently in a photo book published by the environmental organisation that was intended to shock Spain into action on climate change.
...

Icecap note: Let’s hope this is the first of many suits against alarmists and irresponsible environmental groups. The La Manga group has a case. Note that sea levels are not accelerating up but appear to be falling in part due to ocean cooling and compression and perhaps part due to record extent of Antarctic ice. Certainly there is no signs of an alarming increase threatening coastal areas as Gore and Hansen have prophesised. http://www.icecap.us/

Attachment. Sea level changes since 1994 from TOPEX and Jason satellites.
