Here are some photos of our two rescued pit bulls. They sleep in our bed, think our son is their own, and bring tremendous joy to our family. They're good peeps. Kudos to you for doing the right thing.
Count me as another dedicated owner of two rescued pit bulls. I've had dogs my whole life, and these two pits are the sweetest creatures I've ever known. I have a 10 month old son who adores our dogs as well; our dogs have also adopted our son, making the whole thing somewhat reciprocal.
I've seen a real dark side to the stupidity and evil of people relative to pit bulls. One of our dogs (before we rescued her) was apparently beaten to a pulp by humans. She had one leg fractured in about 8 places and it was twisted backwards making the whole things useless. After we adopted her, we paid to have the leg reconstructed which took a lot of work from everyone. Now, she is the happiest dog that I have ever known. She has been in a delayed puppyhood for four years now, and her past is all but forgotten.
Recsue a pit. Best Life Experience Ever.
Also see the Java applet at the CBofN website. Select "L-Systems" in the pull-down menu for something very similar, a bit simpler to use, but not nearly as powerful as posted program. (warning: self-link)
I had a similar problem. In my case, the old DNS settings were not playing well with the upgrade. The main symptom was that my broadband connection felt as slow as a 56K dialup connection. After reading about similar issues with others, I found that deleting the old DNS server entries, then refreshing DHCP did the trick.
More specifically: go under network settings, and select configure. Erase whatever DNS server IP addresses that are listed. Then refresh DHCP.
Of course, all of this assumes that you are using DHCP to configure your network interface. If that is not the case (you have a static IP address), then *don't* do this.
