or, in microsoft speak 'A data-holding subsystem holding instructions executable by a logic subsystem is provided. The instructions are configured to output a primary image to a primary display for display by the primary display, and output a peripheral image to an environmental display for projection by the environmental display on an environmental surface of a display environment so that the peripheral image appears as an extension of the primary image.'

25MPH on a Treadmill

Yogi says...

Usain Bolts top speed is 27.44 mph according to the Internet. Sprinters can keep that speed up there for a longer period over the course of 100 meters though.

Also can you really trust a treadmills speed?

Puppy Determined To Get On Treadmill

Look up for yourself the data,videos, and testimonies from the experts and victims. The myriad accounts, and devastating injuries, i can assure you, are NOT anecdotal. But by your reasoning that "all is conjecture" you will not take the danger of fighting dogs seriously until one bites you in the ass.
I am well aware of the physiological effects of exercise my friend. Exercise promotes strength, staying power, and fitness, that is its prime function. The muscle breaks down and builds up again stronger. You seem to be saying that putting the dog on the treadmill on a daily basis will result in it getting weaker, slimmer, and having less energy. I'm afraid it is you who shows "shocking ignorance."

Interesting that A10anis keeps citing "the data and statistics", and yet hasn't cited a single datum or statistic. Although completely unrelated to knowledge of dog attacks, his shocking ignorance of exercise physiology (the relationship between long duration aerobic exercise and muscle catabolism is pretty well established -- exhaust your Glucose stores, and your body starts breaking down muscle and fat to keep your body moving) doesn't help his case much.

I haven't studied the "inherent violence" of the American Pit Bull Terrier to any great extent, so without any actual data, who knows whether or not they truly are "inherently violent". What I can say is that there are a number of breeds that are commonly mistaken for the Pit Bull, and dog attacks by any breed that vaguely looks like a Pit Bull often get called a "Pit Bull Attack" in the media. I have never owned a Pit, but my interactions with the breed suggest that they are very mellow and gentle: the polar opposite of, say, the highly strung, yappy, and territorial Chihuahua. The difference however is that if you piss a Chihuahua off it's not going to be able to do much to hurt you, whereas an angry Pit Bull can kill you. Of course, this is all just conjecture from anecdote, but until someone actually posts some data, that's all we have to go on.

1)Treadmills burn off energy, but create more muscle creating an animal with staying power and more energy (why do you think athletes use them?)
2)if you "don't have the time" to exercise your dog, don't get a dog. Oh, and an hour or so a day is NOT enough for breeds like this. 3) My dogs have all been big and, guess what, I live in an apartment and your "argument" that taking it for a walk "is more dangerous to this dog and handler" is sheer stupidity. In fact, sorry to be personal, but you're an idiot, so any further explanation is pointless, I'm done.

First off, the treadmill is healthy for the dog, and burns off energy, making the easier to control let alone giving him "something to do". Some people just don't have the time to exercise their dog for the hour or so every day like every dog NEEDS to, no matter what the breed. You have 7 acres of squirrels? Good for you! There's a lot of people who live in condos and apartments where taking the dog for a walk is more dangerous to this dog AND handler than this pit probably is to anyone else.

Your statistics aren't complete...

There are more "vicious" attacks on people by Shepherds worldwide then there are actual pitbull dogs. THAT'S a statistic too.

Dogs can be looked at like guns.

Chihuahua = Ether gas BB gun
Jack Russell = .22 target pistol
Shepherd = .308 bolt action hunting rifle
Pitbull - AK47

If the gun is taken care of, and used properly, it won't suddenly take off and kill a seeing eye dog any more than a properly cared for pitbull.

Interesting. The dog on the treadmill doesn't want to be there so it has to be leashed to it. However the puppy sees the big dog on there and desperately wants to have a go. Could this meme, a preference to exercise on treadmills rather than running around and stuff, spread through successive generations of dogs? Healthy for their body, but not for their mind me thinks...

Is the owner lazy or does he/she just want to build up the muscles on an already intimidating fighting dog. ALL fighting dog breeds should be banned. And before you say; "It's the owner who makes them vicious, they are really cuddly, cute and so friendly," look at the figures on attacks by these breeds on adults/kids/dogs. Look at all the sickening videos.The latest statistic is the number of seeing eye dogs being attacked. There are 5 of these dogs in my area and ALL are a problem to people and other dogs. Their owners want them for the wrong reasons, reasons that are obvious. Of course any dog can be made violent, but these breeds have innate aggression, unpredictability, terrific strength and sheer tenacity. In the wrong hands they are lethal and, be honest, it is usually the wrong hands who own them. I have had three German Shepherds and currently have a Tamaskan (mighty Wolf) so please don't tell me I am anti-dog.
