|Hoshi Sato in 2154
Hoshi Sato was a Human female stationed on board the Earth starship Enterprise during its historic mission of exploration.
She started serving as communications officer aboard Enterprise in 2151.
Childhood and youth
Born in Kyoto, Japan on July 9, 2128, the second of three children, Sato showed from an early age that she was gifted. Most of her childhood was spent with private tutors, learning languages. She did not have the opportunity to become very close to anyone. To her, it was often normal to spend an entire day virtually alone. This feeling of isolation stayed with her her entire life; even as an adult surround by other people, she still felt alone. The reason she studied languages was to try to make connections to other people and cultures. The last person she was really close to was her grandfather, Michio Sato. (ENT: "Exile") She also had a black belt in Aikido. (ENT: "Observer Effect")
When Sato was younger, she would often use "my stomach is a little unsettled" as an excuse not to eat her grandmother's soba noodles, which she disliked. Eventually, though, it became one of her favorite foods. (ENT: "Exile") Sato was never called to the principal's office. ("The Council") Her mother wanted her to become a pianist, but she chose a scientific career instead. (ENT: "Damage")
Early years
Hoshi went to school to become an exo-linguist. She graduated second in her class and would go on to spend three years in Starfleet training. (ENT: "Fight or Flight") In her second month Hoshi was discharged for breaking her CO's arm, after a dispute about a weekend poker game she organised for new recruits. Starfleet allowed her back in on probation as they needed language experts. (ENT: "Observer Effect")
While a university professor in Brazil, she took a commission aboard Enterprise as communications officer to have the chance to experience new languages from outer space. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
Onboard Enterprise
The reason that Archer chose Hoshi to be part of the crew on the Enterprise was due to her superior language skills. She was one of the few Humans who could translate Klingonese. This came in handy during the Enterprise's first mission in returning Klaang to the Klingons and preventing the Suliban from starting a civil war. (ENT: Broken Bow)
Shortly after the beginning of the ship's mission, Sato demanded a transfer off the ship after a harrowing experience aboard an Axanar vessel; her fear of the unknown almost overwhelmed her. However, she overcame her fear and stayed aboard and was strengthened by it. (ENT: "Fight or Flight", "Exile")
Hoshi knowledge of Vulcan proved invaluable. When an away team led by T'Pol became infected by the plant life on the planet making them paranoid and dangerous to each other, she was able to tell T'pol in Vulcan that an antidote was on its way. She was able to translate encrypted Vulcan messages that T'Pol was receiving. (ENT: "Strange New World", "Breaking the Ice")
She would discover Silik had stowed away on the ship and was sabotaging it when she found him in engineering trying to disable vital components. She would also be given the task of finding out what Reed's favorite food was for his birthday party. She was unable to find out, though, because even his family did not know. (ENT: "Cold Front", "Silent Enemy")
Hoshi would accompany Archer to a planet where they found Eska hunters engaging in hunting sentient beings. She would help protect the beings. (ENT: "Rogue Planet")
She would assist Dr. Phlox in attempting to find a cure for the disease killing the Valakians. It turned out to be a genetic mutation. (ENT: "Dear Doctor")
She was part of an away team that discovered that an alien race was secretly mining on a pre-industrial planet and poisoning it's water supply. (ENT: "Civilization")
Later that year she and Reed would become stranded on a disabled Klingon ship sinking into a gas giant. The ship was too low for the Enterprise to rescue them. Hoshi would suggest that they fire the ship's weapons to move them to a higher orbit. This works, and the Enterprise is able to rescue them. (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs")
The crew of the Enterprise is attacked by an organism that is trying to assimilate the nervous systems of the people it has entangled in its tentacles. All attempts to free them fails. Hoshi, using her language skills, is able to communicate with the entity, who releases the crewmembers in return for being transported back to its home planet. (ENT: "Vox Sola")
During shore leave on Risa, she meets an alien named Ravis, who she has a romantic affair with. (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights")
In 2152 she would helped teach a mining colony to defend itself against the Klingons. (ENT: "Marauders")
She would be injured by a Romulan minefield.
She would help translate the Kreetassans, who were a race very easily offended. She not only translated the language, but their customs as well. This helped Archer settle a misunderstanding between him and the aliens. Affected by a spatial anomaly that caused obessive behavior in the crew, she was determined to duplicate one of her grandmother's dishes. (ENT: "Minefield", "A Night in Sickbay", "Singularity")
During her first experience with the transporter in 2152, Hoshi imagined she was starting to disappear after returning to Enterprise, and that aliens were attempting to destroy the ship. While attempting to stop them, she materialized on Enterprise and discovered she had imagined it all while being the caught in the pattern buffer for several seconds. (ENT: "Vanishing Point")
Her body was taken over by alien entities that wished to steal the Enterprise. The alien who took over her body attacked Phlox, who was trying to find a way to drive the aliens from the crew's bodies. (ENT: "The Crossing")
The Xindi Mission
In early 2153 she was part of an away team that was infected by a virus, left behind by an extinct race, that transformed her into one of them. She was cured by Phlox. (ENT: "Extinction")
During contact with the Osaarians, she discovered a manifest. After translating it, she discovered that the race had been in a battle with the Xindi. This led Archer to interrogate the Osaarians and obtain valuable information about the Xindi. (ENT: "Anomaly")
In October 2153, Sato was telepathically contacted by Tarquin, an exile residing on a nearby planet. He told Sato that she had a unique mind, one of a few that he could connect to on a deep level. He tried to force her to stay with him in exchange for providing Enterprise with information on the Xindi, but she refused, despite his claims that he understood her loneliness better than anyone ever could. He later provided information on the Xindi. (ENT: "Exile")
She would help take the ship back after Archer, infected by Xindi toxin, endangered the mission. Hoshi discovered that the pod Archer was returned in after the battle of Azati Prime contained a message that Degra, leader of the Xindi-Primates wished to meet with Archer. (ENT: "Hatchery", "Damage")
In February 2154, Sato was kidnapped by Commander Dolim. Using Xindi neural parasites she was compelled to assist the Xindi-Reptilians in decrypting the Xindi-Aquatic activation codes for the Xindi superweapon. She fought bravely against them, scrambling the codes further and even attempting to kill herself to prevent them from gaining access to the codes. The Reptillians eventually forced her to comply and she decrypted the codes, but was subsequently rescued by a team of MACOs led by Major Hayes. Although she was still sufferring from the effects of the parasites, Captain Archer insisted that she accompany his team in their attempt to destroy the weapon. She was successful in decrypting the schematics for the weapon, allowing Archer to successfully destroy it from within. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown, "Zero Hour"")
The Return Home
Some months after the ship's return to Earth, Hoshi was infected with a silicon-based virus while part of a landing party on a planet's surface, looking for salvage amongst Klingon waste. While quarantined in the decontamination chamber and in a delirous state, she displayed skill in decrypting the locking sequence for doors on the entire deck, causing a ship-wide quarantine breach alert. Although Hoshi initially died due to the virus, she was cured by two Organian observers, who were watching the crew's reaction to the virus. (ENT: "Observer Effect")
She participated in the Enterprise's effort to capture Augments whose action threatened the peace between Earth and the Klingons. Also, she served during the Vulcan Awakening and the Klingon Augment Crisis.
Hoshi was the first Human to become fluent in the Klingon language, which she learned from a linguistic database provided by the Vulcans. (ENT: "Broken Bow") She once remarked that a book given to her by Tarquin, written by a civilization over a thousand years dead, was in a language very similiar to medieval Klingon. (ENT: "Exile")
In 2161, after having served aboard Enterprise for ten years, Sato is seen to still be wearing the insignia of an ensign. (ENT: "These Are the Voyages...")
Later Career
Following the founding of the Federation in 2161, Hoshi went on to serve in the Federation Starfleet for a time. Hoshi retired from Starfleet with rank of Lieutenant Commander, sometime in the mid-2160s, married, and went on to develop the Linguacode translation matrix. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
- A part of Hoshi's bio - which was written entirely by episode writer Mike Sussman - not seen on screen stated that Hoshi and her family were among the four thousand people who died on Tarsus IV in 2246 when a food shortage caused by an exotic fungus threatened the colony's population. Governor Kodos ordered the deaths of Sato and the others in order to save the rest of the colony. She was buried in Kyoto with her husband, Takashi Kimura.
Alternate timelines
In an alternate timeline where Earth was destroyed by the Xindi, Sato had been promoted to lieutenant by 2165 and was the executive officer of Enterprise. She was killed that year when the bridge of Enterprise was destroyed in a Xindi attack in the Ceti Alpha system. (ENT: "Twilight")
In another timeline where Enterprise inadvertantly traveled to 2037, Hoshi had two children: a boy named Taro and a girl named Yoshiko. She had died by the year 2154. (ENT: "E²")
Background information
Hoshi Sato was played by Linda Park. Sato's given name of Hoshi means "star" in Japanese, a fact which is likely not coincidental. Her translated name appears in katakana in the Japanese dubs of the series. "Sato," however, is the most common of Japanese surnames.

Aggression in 14 month old male
Our 14 month old male exhibits periods of aggression. He has been neutered. He has chew toys which he wants to put on the furniture or have you hold them while he chews them. When we try to stop this behavior he barks continually. Sometimes he snaps or grabs clothing. Bitter apple spray seems to be most effective. He alternates between very docile and sweet behavior and aggessive behavior. Suggestions would be most appreciated. Also, is this a common trait for goldens and should we expedct to see a change in behavior at a certain age ?
From what you describe, it seems to me that he likes to play tug a war and not aggression.

Bratty perhaps, but doesn't appear to be agressive. We had an Aussie who would bark at us when we wouldn't give her what she wanted. We were told to let her bark that she would learn to stop. She just kept barking. I talked to our vet and said she won't stop barking and he said that we were giving in and that was the reason. He said if she barked non stop for 3 hours she would get the message eventually. That may be the case. She barks you comply. Grabbing clothes is a Golden bratty trait that Tayla grew out of thankfully. Let them know it's unexceptable and make him work for any play time. Make him sit if he bring you the toy and wants you to play. Every time you toss the toy make him do something for that toss.

Sounds like young dog brattiness rather than aggression. He wants your attention.

I agree, he's just being bratty, HOWEVER, at his age I would suggest you get him into classes asap. He has to learn what he can and can not do with his mouth. Snapping is a no-no.
The barking I believe you can stop on your own by ignoring but I'm really concerned about the snapping. I continue training my dogs throughout their lives. It will also help you get his brattyness under control.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Yup, teenage behavior, which some classes for him, more exercise and getting some training tips for you should fix pretty quickly.
Golden retrievers think life is a party thrown especially for them
Ugh. We still struggle at times with our Tucker, who is about 19 months old. Even though he's going on two years, he still has moments of that "bratty" behaviour. We are constantly working with him/using those "nothing in life is free" tactics, and exercising him a TON, which has worked tremendously for us. During these past few cold, muddy winter weeks, he is definitely showing his frustration at not being able to get out and run freely as often as he would like by getting very testy/barky/tugging at our clothes in the evening. We give him a couple reminder "off" commands, and if he refuses to go into a "sit" for us when we command, we put him in his crate for a VERY short (like a minute) timeout to show him that he doesn't get to be with us if he's acting this way. Usually after 2 or three rounds of this, he realizes we're not going to relent, and he goes and finds a bone to chew at our feet.
When he was a bit younger (about 9 months) I was very concerned about this brattiness, as he was very nippy/snarly at that stage, too, but as time has gone on, he's not nearly as mouthy (although these past few weeks have been a little rougher than normal). Give it time, be consistent, and work those commands with your dog, both inside and outside. I'm learning that our dog needs constant reminding/review of the basics to maintain his good manners both inside and outside. We're still a work in progress outside - that's where he can get REALLY wound up and jumpy/nippy/snappy with us, but we're always prepared to work some training in when he gets like this, and it calms him right down after a few repititions. Feel free to review some of my older posts, back in April of 2012. Boy were we at our wits end with our adolescent pup back then! We've come a long way, but like I said, it will always be a work in progress. Good luck!

My new book Screw Work Let's Play (How to do what you love & get paid for it) is a best-seller!
Download a free chapter plus a whole toolkit of guides and audio classes to help you get paid to do what you love at screwworkletsplay.com.
I'm blogging more regularly there so will only very occasionally update CreativeMaverick.com. Check out the Screw Work Let's Play blog for interviews, inspiration and how-to posts.
In 2006 I started my first blog, technologyturkey.com, about the irritations of modern technology. Despite being a gadget lover, I also get very irritated at some of the terrible devices made by technology creators – from TVs that crash to mobile phones that can't make calls. I vented my frustrations about a handful of these devices on the blog.
Here's a post from the blog that's a little different – it's about being an early adopter of technology in the 1970s.
I belong to a class of consumers that marketers call "Early Adopters" (or alternatively, "Mugs"). This means my passion for technology makes me willing to buy version 1.0 of any half-baked gadget that the manufacturers can sneak past their Quality Assurance department.
Sometimes a piece of technology is so far ahead of its time it should never have been released from the lab. My first memory of such a Technology Turkey was some time in the late 70's. It was the first TV I ever saw with a remote control. Infrared remotes hadn't been invented yet so what did this use? A sonic controller – that's right, sound.
The remote had one button. I say a button, it was really a lever pressing on a bent piece of stressed metal that made a loud "clack" as it straightened. This clacker, forerunner to the modern zapper, performed only one function – to change to the next channel. By pressing the button repeatedly you could hop through all 3 British TV channels and start again at the beginning.
This wonderful invention was owned by a friend's father, local restaurateur Mr Collodi, making him one of the first men in Britain to gain control of the remote. His reign of power did not last long however as his children quickly discovered that the sound from the remote was not the only thing that caused the TV to change channel. Whenever one of them slammed the door to the playroom, the TV would turn over. Soon, they worked out that they could have the same effect as the remote by clapping their hands. This quickly led to a battle of control between Mr Collodi and his two children. Dad would press the clacker to watch the football and the kids would clap their hands to change to the cartoons. Dad would press the clacker twice to get back to the football and the kids would just clap again.
During primetime, the Collodi's lounge would reach a frenzy of clacking and clapping not normally seen outside a Tourettes convention. The high pitch sounds would eventually set the dog off barking. And each bark would add to the channel hopping.
Today it takes 3 remote controls just to turn my TV on. The total button count on these remotes is 149. Perhaps I'd be better off with a one-button clacker.
NOTE: I am blogging daily at ScrewWorkLetsPlay.com on how to do what you love and get paid for it in advance of publication of my book in June 2010 – as a result I will be blogging here only very intermittently.
I went to a fascinating talk at London Zoo this week about how evolution and our biology affect who we fancy and who we settle down with.
The speakers were Professor Robin Dunbar from Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University and Professor Karl Grammer from Department for Anthropology at University of Vienna.
Here's how it was billed:
Biological approaches to human behaviour suggest that human mate preferences are influenced by similar underlying mechanisms to those seen in animals. Visual cues play a large part in judgements of attractiveness and compatibility. Recent research has revealed new insights into the intricacies of these cues and how we form early judgements based on them without fully realising how these decisions are made.
Here are some of my notes from the remarkable talks:
"Men are more likely to display their mobile phones when there are women nearby."
Provocative stuff huh? I await your angry comments…
I've been quiet here on Creative Maverick as I've been very busy elsewhere with a new blog on a similar topic.
My book Screw Work Let's Play: How to do what you love and get paid for it is published by Prentice Hall in 9 weeks' time. And in preparation I am blogging every day on how to make a full-time living out of stuff that feels more like play than work.
I am also giving away a Play Toolkit – a whole set of worksheets, guides and several hours of audio instruction to help you get paid to play. Here's what it contains:
I love this business card belonging to web designer and social media consultant San Sharma. It has no contact details whatsoever!
It gets some strange reactions though as San explains,
My business card makes people think I work for Google and/or wonder what the "I'm feeling lucky" button does
Of course, it only works if you have a relatively rare name (ie, not for me).

Every year at the Holy Trinity Church in East London, there is a service held to bless working clowns and commemorate the clowns that died in the previous year.
The mix of religious service and being surrounded by outlandish clowns makes it quite an experience.
What struck me was just how many members of the press were present, both photographers and TV cameramen.
What it shows is how great a hunger there is for people to see something out of the ordinary. The quirky will always get press. That's why in my consulting sessions I often look for what's unusual in a client's business that we can use to make it stand out and get free publicity. What's unusual about your business or project?
Watch the video below of the clowns entering the service.
Why don't people change? Why do we struggle on with the same old problems, wanting to be happier, more successful, to have better relationships, but not getting very far?
To explain why I think this is, I need to talk about Bono, lead singer of U2.
A lot of people find Bono annoying, particularly in Britain where hating Bono has become something of a national sport. There are T-Shirts, blogs and more than one Facebook group.
Why do people hate Bono?
Whatever you might think of his music, when the strength of feeling is far out of proportion to what he does you can be sure it's not simply a matter of taste. (Let's face it there are far more despicable people out there in the world)
Bono is hated in Britain in particular because he breaks the rules of British culture. He gets ideas above his station, he behaves as if he actually is all that. And this is the great taboo of our country – to boast, to be arrogant, to believe you have the right to change the world.
The cost of this taboo is that we Brits err towards being apologetic, downplaying our abilities, and suppressing our own power. It is a culture of playing small.
When a natural part of our personality (in this case, our confidence and willingness to acknowledge our own talents) is suppressed at an early age, we see it all the larger in others. And we hate it.
It's a universal (and uncomfortable) truth that our salvation lies in that which we hate. Wherever your life is stuck, whether it's wanting more confidence in your work, making more money, allowing yourself to relax, or having a better sex life, you have locked away the part of yourself you most need.
How do you find out what this part is? Look at who you hate. Whoever you find most irritating or infuriating will represent the part you have hidden. If you're suppressing your own confidence, it might be Bono. If you're suppressing your sexuality, it might be Russell Brand, Helen Mirren or Belle de Jour. If it's allowing yourself to relax, it's the guy at work who seems to do no work at all and gets away with it.
Don't worry, I'm not suggesting you become exactly what you hate. You may not want to start wearing wrap-around shades. Indoors. Mixed in with your prejudice, there may be some very valid reasons for disliking someone. But you can still use that person as a pointer to what you need.
Look at this person that irritates you, ask what it is that gets your goat, then ask yourself "If I could have a more palatable version of what they represent (confidence, ease with making money, more access to my own sexuality), would that help me get what I most long for in my life?"
I bet the answer is yes.
The question now is how to do you find a more attractive model for this quality? If you want confidence but hate Bono, don't try to emulate him. Choose a model you can respect. Perhaps the quiet assuredness and brilliance of Bonnie Greer facing Nick Griffin on Question Time.
Keep them in mind whenever you want more of this part of yourself. Find a photo of them on google images, print it out and keep it visible as a reminder of this quality. Let them be your virtual mentor. When faced with your challenge ask "What would my mentor do?" and let them inspire you to do the same.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
For a lot of us, particularly creative people, conventional goal setting and planning techniques just don't work.
So how do we engineer a great year for ourselves without all that SMART goal crap? One doing the whole variety of stuff we enjoy while making a good living at the same time?
I gave a talk at January Scanners Night on exactly this topic.
Listen now and discover the 3 steps to creating your own Back Of An Envelope Plan for the year that's simple, exciting, effective, and doesn't box you in.
Being a careers coach I inevitably meet a lot of people unhappy in their job who want to do something else. But I also occasionally meet people (at social events) who love their job. And it's funny how shy they are about it.
I ask what they do and they sheepishly reply "Oh very boring, I'm a solicitor" or "I'm in IT I'm afraid" and when I scratch beneath the surface it's obvious they love it. Why the apology? Well I guess it's actually quite revealing to show our passion for something, particularly if it's not something a lot of people understand - "Actually, I am just crazy about object oriented programming".
But when we do show our enthusiasm for what we do, we give permission to others to do the same, we take another bite out of the myth that we all like the same things, and we inspire others to dare to do what they really enjoy.

Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith announced late Tuesday that residents of Colorado Highway 66 and U.S. Highway 36, up to and including Aspen Brook Drive, will be allowed to return home at 9 a.m. Those allowed to return will get an emergency evacuation at 7 a.m. an ostensibly more welcome notification than the evacuation warnings that started early Saturday morning after gusting winds blew the fire 3 miles east in about a half hour.
Those winds caused the fire that has burned since Oct. 9 to double in size over the weekend. While not all mountain residents and business owners will be able to return home Wednesday, Smith also announced tentative plans to lift the remaining evacuations along the Colorado 66 corridor on Friday.
Winds on Tuesday continued to challenge the firefighting effort in Rocky Mountain National Park as an attempt to drop slurry from an air tanker proved futile.
"The wind blew it away, and it wasn't effective, so they called it off for the rest of the day," David Eaker with the National Park Service said.
It was the first attempted drop against the wind-fed wildfire since the weekend. Gusty conditions have kept most of the firefighting aircraft grounded. But burnout operations and firefighters digging lines have made progress on the east perimeter, aiming to prevent further spread toward Estes Park.
More winds are expected to keep firefighting aircraft grounded Wednesday.
About 1,000 buildings have been threatened by the human-caused fire. One cabin in the Moraine Park area has burned, and the effort to fight the blaze has cost about $1.9 million.
Firefighters from across the country are among the 250 people involved in the fire containment effort. The fire is 40 percent contained.
Park service officials are investigating the cause of the fire, believed to have been started by an illegal campfire at a backcountry campsite.

The Tanzania Football Federation has unveiled shocking allegations against former Football Association of Tanzania secretary general Michael Wambura which they said render him ineligible to contest for leadership in the country's soccer.
The allegations were first made public ahead of federation's 2008 elections, and handed over to police authorities for investigations.
Deogratius Lyatto, who chairs TFF's electoral committee, released a lengthy report of how Wambura was allegedly involved in massive embezzlement of funds.
Following the allegations, the former FAT executive was and remains barred from contesting in any election conducted under the auspices of the federation.
It is four years now since TFF handed over to the police the documents and other evidence relevant to the case involving Wambura.
It is hard to believe that police authorities have not made any enough progress in investigating these serious allegations to proceed with prosecution or drop the matter altogether.
It is in the interest of the law-enforcement agents to be transparent about how far they have gone in connection with investigation into the allegations or cite any stumbling blocks they have come across.
We say so because what Wambura is complaining that he is unfairly denied his constitutional rights on the basis of mere allegations. It is a typical case of justice delayed is justice denied.
We are not trying to argue the case for Wambura. If the allegations against him are proved, the law should fall on him like a tonne of bricks; if not, his innocence should be declared.
All we are saying is that the handling of the allegations does not show the police as being keen enough in facilitating the process of ensuring that justice is done and seen to be done.
It is sad that Wambura is being denied some of his basic rights on the strength of mere allegations. In fact, TFF now says the only way for him to clear himself is to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) and win.
TFF ought to feel the need to ensure that the investigations into the allegations make progress, but it absolves itself of any blame in Wambura's current plight, saying it is the police who are the culprits here in that they are the ones holding a detailed file on the said allegations.
What is more, TFF says it cannot set aside the barring of Wambura from contesting any post unless he is cleared of the allegations against him.
It should be emphasized that the accusations levelled against Wambura remain mere allegations unless verified through the legal process.
The only way by which the police can prove that they are not under any undue influence in the handling of the investigations is to tell the public and the country's soccer fraternity how far they have gone with investigations in the last four years.
They need to act fast and take the case to court or declare that, after their intensive investigations, they found that the allegations against Wambura are without a grain of truth.
Be it as it may, the public needs a definitive statement from the police on the issue – and the sooner this is done, the better.

Help with Skin Problems
Hello Everyone, First post here and i'm looking for some help. I'll apologize for the ramble to begin with.
I'm looking for some help to try and get my golden to become a happy and healthy dog. His name is Ferguson and he's almost 2 years now. (end of march). Here is a photo of him: Ferguson | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Since this summer we have been dealing with constant (as it seems) skin problems with him. He's been to the vet multiple times which usually results in a few weeks of antibiotics to clear things up. He also had an ear infection and a staff skin infection at one point that was treated with antibiotics and steroids. All of which seem to clear up his issues within the time period of the treatment, but shortly after his skin starts to become itchy again. Lately he's been very itchy which results in hotspots and then trying to keep him off of them so that they can heal. We usually do ok for a day or so, and then he will rip them open again as the process starts over. A simple rub of his belly he will begin to lift a leg to itch at it. Just within the last day or two he's been developing somewhat of a rash of red bumps. He's going back to the vet tomorrow first thing for, what i'd guess, are some more antibiotics.
As a result of this he seems to have very thin hair (from what i see on other goldens) and sheds pretty abundantly. He's always scratching or licking, although we try and limit it as much as possible. His hot spots eventually scab up, but are sometimes scratched again when we go to work. More recently( last 5 days or so) his scabs have been smelly and look like they are infected (although we do try to clean and sterilize them as often as possible.
Here is some information that may help.
He has been on blue buffalo chicken and brown rice + 2 fish oil pills a day. More recently (3 weeks ago) he is now on blue buffalo fish and sweet potato with 2 pumps of wild alaskan salmon oil. The change in food has not seemed to make much of a difference (yet anyway)
He gets a bath with some dry skin formula shampoo about every 3 weeks to a month.
I frequently clean his ears with the blue home made formula since he's had so many ear issues. This happens probably once or twice a week.
I'm at the point that i need help, and that i feel like i need to change vets.
Is there something that i should be looking out for? Should we change his food again (once he is in good condition) to see if thats the problem, Less or more baths, anything else?
thanks for the help, Were just trying to get a healthy and happy puppy... we feel so bad for him.

Hello and welcome
Firstly, I would suggest having a FULL thyroid panel run by Dr Dodds. Mine has the exact same issues as yours and he has a low thyroid. They do not have to be fat and lazy to have low thyroid. Heres information on it
Here is where you need to blood sent to for testing (most regular vets say if the dog falls within lab range they are fine when its not the case)
Thyroid Testing
Chances of a food allergy is really slim but a change in food couldnt hurt any. If a thyroid problem is ruled out I would lean more towards environmental.
Mine would get constant staph infections on his skin, antibiotics would clear it up and then it would come back. Also, how long has your dog been put on antibiotics and what dose was prescribed? Sometimes 10-14 days is not enough I am just finishing up a 7 week course of antibiotics with mine.
Search for "Apple Cider Vinegar" here on the Forum. EXCELLENT for any/all itches & hotspots. Read what other people have said about it.
And, please read in full this link ("Apple Cider Vinegar" is usually called "ACV")
Apple Cider Vinegar for Dogs
Very Important: If you decide to get it, ONLY get the ORGANIC "Apple Cider Vinegar". This organic ACV contains the nutrient-rich sediment, which is called "the Mother". The best brand to get is Braggs sold at the Health Food store, e.g., Whole Foods, or the health food section of your local supermarket.
Here's one of this forum's links with info about how to treat hot spots and allergies, etc.:

Both posts said what I was gonna say...Doc Jean Dodds @ Hemopet.org
Thyroid Testing
Get the full Thyroid 5 Panel done, don't let your vet send the blood anywhere else for this.
Also you may want to try the Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Saliva Tests. I found out Tailer is sensitive to corn, wheat, chicken...we were having the same problems that you are talking about...we only did one run of prednisone n antibiotics before I found Doc Dodds! Tailer also has low thyroid...2 tiny pills a day a pond that is under control!
Apple Cider Vinegar, Braggs, is part of "Tailer's Dressing." I mix up Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Braggs ACV, granular garlic n herbs in a salad dressing bottle...shake well before you shake a couple of teaspoons full on each meal...I am using "Now" DHA 500 fish oil capsules, one on each of two meals. I feed Evo Herring n Salmon, grain free.
We have the additional issue of seizures so add things to help there too.
Welcome to Golden Retriever Forum, tons of Great People n FurKids here from around the world. Loads of good advice. Use the Advanced Search to find things...you my become addicted, but...what's wrong with that! Tailer will drop a ball on my laptop if we wants me to quit cyber-dogging!

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll talk to the vet today and hopefully get a sample drawn and sent out. I'm sure then he will go on antibiotics again until things clear up. I'll keep you posted.
Once i get those results, I may try the Nutriscan after.
Lets say the T3 is 12 with a reference of 10-45. According to the lad that would be normal. To Dr Dodds that would be really low. A large breed dog needs to sit in the upper 50% of the range. So take 10+45/2=27.5. So, according to Dr Dodds Lincoln would need to sit at 27.5 or higher to be considered a normal thyroid. These calculations would be done for all the values from T3, Free T3, T4 and Free T4. My vet was open minded, did his own research as we agreed to treat him. Since starting thyroid medication hes improved a *little*. If thyroid is your dogs only problem then thyroid meds would essentially "cure" him so to speak. If theres other issues like my guy has it can help a little or a lot or not at all.
Food allergy/sensitivity testing is not accurate, save your money. Ive learned a ton over the past couple weeks. I have been dealing with mines issues for over 3 years. Feel free to do an environmental allergy test though. Spectrum (I think this is the name) and Heska are two labs commonly used.
MSU also does thyroid panels, but, I prefer Dr Dodds personally. Dr Dodds takes into account breed, sexual status (spayed or neutered), age and all that. Different breeds hold different "normal" thyroid values.
Just my two cents
Definitely check thyroid. You may also want to look at the drup Atopica--while my boy has been in the unlucky minority for adverse reactions, he's finally infection free (we battled skin & ear infections for the first 12 mos he lived with me). His triggers are a combination of environmental and food allergies, thyroid is perfect.
I believe Dr Dodds advises against the use of Atopica or any generic formula because of the effects it has on the immune system short and long term. Something to look into when making your decision

You probably know Scarleteen has been the premier online sexuality resource for young people worldwide since 1998. We have consistently provided free inclusive, comprehensive and positive sex education, information and support to millions for longer than anyone else online. We built the online model for teen and young adult sex education and have remained online for nearly eleven years to sustain, refine and expand it.
What you might not know is that Scarleteen is the highest ranked online young adult sexuality resource but also the least funded and that the youth who need us most are also the least able to donate. You might not know that we have done all we have with a budget lower than the median annual household income in the U.S. You might not know we have provided the services we have to millions without any federal, state or local funding and that we are fully independent media which depends on public support to survive and grow.
You also might not know Scarleteen is primarily funded by people who care deeply about teens having this kind of vital and valuable service; individuals like you who want better for young people than what they get in schools, on the street or from initiatives whose aim is to intentionally use fearmongering, bias and misinformation about sexuality to try to scare or intimidate young people into serving their own personal, political or religious agendas.
To try and reach our goal, we're asking our supporters to consider a donation of $100 or greater. If that isn't possible for you, what you can give will still help and will still be strongly appreciated. To donate now, click on one of the links below. If you'd first like more information on why we're setting the goal we are, what Scarleteen has done in the last year and during the whole of our tenure, our plans for 2010, and what the scoop is with our budget and expenses, keep reading.
Had around 1 million overall hits to the site each day from an average of 25,000 unique users daily. Scarleteen has a very high page-load rate as compared to other websites: on average, our users load 3.5 pages each when visiting Scarleteen. Since 2006 alone, our site has had over one billion overall hits and nearly 70 million page loads.
Currently, Scarleteen is the #1 ranked site by Alexa for teen sexuality education/information and for general sexuality advice for users of all ages. It is ranked 27,823 of all websites internationally, and is ranked 11,210th in the United States (on 10/12/2009). Our core users are international, 15-24 and diverse in their race, gender and sexual orientation. To see some of our user testimonials, click here.
To find out more about our educational philosophies and model, you may want to read Scarleteen Is..., What Is Feminist Sex Education?, On Innovation and Inclusivity in Sex Education, A Calm View from the Eye of the Storm: Hysteria, Youth and Sexuality or look at our general about page. If you've never taken the time to just look around the site as a whole, please do!
Engaged in over 4,000 conversations with young people on our message boards, providing them factual and friendly answers on contraception, sexual anatomy, safer sex, sexual health, masturbation, interpersonal relationships and other related topics; helping them through struggles like pregnancy scares or unplanned pregnancies, STIs, sexual harassment, rape and intimate partner violence or abuse; talking them through relationships and breakups, family conflicts, gender, sexual identity or body image issues and their sexual decision-making; discussing political issues pertinent to sexuality and youth rights. Most posts at the boards are answered within a few hours, some within minutes. Many of our board users return to the boards again and again for more help, to engage in deeper discussions or to talk with or support other users.
In total our boards have over 43,000 registered users who have posted over 60,000 topics: all have been answered by one or more of Scarleteen's staff and volunteers. Our boards are fully moderated and a safe space for young people. To help protect our users from potential harassment, they may not share personal information like full names, e-mail addresses, messenger or social networking handles or personal webpages. Managing and moderating the message boards often requires the bulk of our staff and volunteer time.
Answered nearly 100 column-length young adult questions in our Sexpert Advice section, which is also syndicated weekly at RH Reality Check. There are around 900 Sexpert Advice columns in total published at the site. However, our advice queue typically has over 500 questions waiting for answers. In order to catch up with this backlog, we need the funds to acquire more staff to handle the high demand for the longer, in-depth answers our advice column provides and our users are seeking there.
Generated fresh static content. So far this year, we have posted 42 blog entries, half of which were penned by young adult volunteers, and have added more than ten new full articles to the site. Some of our most recent articles include Positively Informed: An HIV/AIDS Roundup, Boys Do Cry: How To Deal With a Breakup Like a Man, An Immodest Proposal, Chicken Soup for the Pregnancy Symptom Freakout's Soul, Let's Get Metaphysical: The Etiquette of Entry, Give'em Some Lip: Labia That Clearly Ain't Minor and Love Letter. We have also added several new youth-written articles this year, and updated several existing articles to be sure our information is accurate and timely.
Excluding the message boards (where there are tens of thousands of pages), Scarleteen currently contains around 1500 pages of content: articles, advice answers, blogs, external resource listings, polls and more. We are not able to pay authors for articles, though we often are queried by authors we'd love to hire who have great ideas. An increase in our budget would allow us to provide more new articles and to further diversify Scarleteen's editorial voice.
Received media coverage: In the last year, Scarleteen was mentioned by/in Salon, Glamour, BUST magazine, Medill Reports, TIME Magazine, City on a Hill Press, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The New York Times, Utne Reader, CBS News and other outlets. To see some of this and more media coverage for Scarleteen in previous years, click here.
Provided direct community education and outreach: In the last year, Scarleteen director Heather Corinna gave talks to sex education students, sex educators and sexologists, youth and/or their allies via presentations at or for the University of Texas (NSRC Regional Training), the sex::tech conference, the American Medical Students Association, Harvard College, the NARAL Youth Summit and Garfield High School directly reaching around 350 total participants. In addition, through the CONNECT program for Washington Corinna currently directs through Cedar River Clinics, direct to-youth sex education was provided on an ongoing basis both to Cedar River young adult clients and homeless teens in Seattle at Spruce Street SCRC, a secure residential shelter. In 2010, Scarleteen will inherit the CONNECT program and continue Seattle-based direct outreach. We also have plans to continue providing information and education both to youth and other educators via conferences, summits and other public outreach opportunities nationally. In addition, with the help of a student intern, Scarleteen is preparing four informative pamphlets for print and distribution to clinics, schools and other groups which serve young people on sexual readiness, consent, managing sexuality after rape or abuse and on how to be queer and trans friendly.
In 2009 we ran a pilot program to train young adult peer sex educators online. To find out about that program and see what trainees had to say about their experience click here. We want to provide two more sessions of the training for 60 trainees in 2010. We have also just debuted a new SMS service for young people to text sexuality, sexual health and relationship questions to us and have them answered on their mobile phones. For more information on the text-in service, click here. As with all of our services, both of these new services are provided at no cost to youth.
On top of continuing the existing services we provide, we would like to continue to grow, adding new sections, functions and levels of service.
What We've Got & What We Need: As of November 1st, 2009, Scarleteen has received approximately $42,000 in grants and donations, the bulk of which has come from a single private grant. Only around $8,000 of that total has come from individual donations, $3,000 of which was from a single donor. To meet our needs for 2009 and the start of 2010, we need $70,000 in total financial support. Our goal now is to raise at least $24,000 in the next two months to meet our needs and cover the costs of 2009, as well as to walk into 2010 on financially healthy footing.
Beginning next year, we will require a minimum annual operating budget of $75,000 and the revenue to support it. While that is a substantial increase from our existing budget, it is essential: our existing budget cannot adequately sustain our staff or the organization as a whole. That new minimum budget is also still incredibly low: it accounts for the site running at a total of around $200 a day to provide all of the services we do to all of the young people and their allies who use them.
75K is exceptionally cost-effective and reasonable for the level of service we provide, especially compared to other organizations and initiatives, including those which do not match our reach and our level of direct-service. To find out details about our budget and expenses, and to compare them to other budgets and expenses of both similar and opposing sex education initiatives, click here.
Please make a donation if you are able, and consider the value and level of the services we provide to young people in doing so. A $100 donation can pay a major chunk of our server bill for a month, or half the monthly cost of the SMS service, or, can fund any kind of use of the site, including one-on-one counsel and care, for around 10,000 of our daily users.

Over 60 years ago, Cinderella came to life in a Disney film and more than half a century ago, Sleeping Beauty was released and Aurora became another Disney noblewoman. These royal girls are beloved today by girls as well as their parents, grandparents and even great grandparents.
The Little Mermaid (Ariel) and Beauty (Belle) are relative newcomers who have been around for a little less than a quarter century. Aladdin's Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan made their debut in the 1990s while the Princess and the Frog's Tiana, Tangled's Rapunzel and Brave's Merida are all 21st century royalty.

How Well It Works
Urease inhibitors may keep some struvite stones from coming back.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Depression, anxiety, or nervousness.
- Rash.
- Severe tiredness or weakness.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Headaches.
- Loss of appetite.
- Nausea and vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Drinking alcohol when taking this medicine may cause a skin rash. The rash usually goes away after an hour. Call your doctor if you get a skin rash when taking this medicine.
Do not take iron supplements or vitamins containing iron while taking urease inhibitors.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Iowa 4-H History Blog Expands to 38 Counties
AMES, Iowa – Thirty-eight Iowa counties now have added their stories to the Iowa 4-H History by County blog, just in time for National 4-H Week, Oct. 7-13. The history blog is a partnership of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development and the Iowa 4-H Foundation.
Calhoun, Lyon, Monroe, O'Brien and Plymouth counties are the latest to add histories of their 4-H programs to the blog. Also included in the county 4-H histories are stories about influential Iowa 4-H'ers and leaders.
New this month is a feature on Iowa 4-H legend Glen Thompson, who served 14 years as a 4-H leader in Benton County, followed by 20 years as the ISU Extension state recreation specialist. He said he worked with an average of 6,000-8,000 youth every year, adding, "I learned as much as they did."
According to the 4-H online history:
- 4-H in Calhoun County began just like it did in many other Iowa counties. Boys were active in baby beef, sow and litter, poultry and corn projects. Girls focused on activities like cooking, sewing and furniture refinishing.
- The first joint boys and girls county 4-H rally was held in 1960 with a presentation of the better-groomed girls and boys in the appropriate dress in Lyon County.
- In 1964, Iowa was invited, along with nine other states, to Washington, D.C., by Reader's Digest. Chosen for this mission were two 4-H'ers from Monroe County, and two 4-H'ers from Lucas County.
- A market pig club was organized in the Sutherland area of O'Brien County in 1925 with 11 members.
- 4-H made its roots in Plymouth County in the mid 1920s with around 25 clubs being organized in those first years.
View the full history on the blog, at http://www.iowa4hfoundation.org/4hhistory.
Over the next year, 4-H staff and volunteers will be reviewing additional county 4-H histories, with two to four being published on the blog each month, said Shelly Greving, marketing director for the Iowa 4-H Foundation. The project is close to halfway finished, with 38 of Iowa's 100 county 4-H programs represented and many more histories in progress.
"We hope 4-H alumni and current members alike use this site as a living history of 4-H. We encourage 4-H members, alumni, volunteers, leaders and staff to add their comments and continue the history of 4-H, sharing the many facets of each county's 4-H program," Greving said. "Individuals also may choose to continue the legacy of 4-H by making a donation to directly impact Iowa 4-H or their county 4-H program."
Those who wish to support 4-H in their county may make a donation to their county 4-H endowment through the Iowa 4-H Foundation, http://www.iowa4hfoundation.org.

County Historian
On December 13, 1977, Charles Hardee, Chairman of the Levy County Board of County Commissioners and Rollin C. Janney, representing the Levy County Planning and Zoning Commission, held a public hearing to consider the proposed purchase of environmentally endangered lands called the Cedar Key Scrub Habitat. There were 18 persons in attendance and there was no opposition to the proposal.
Litter is like sunshine, it is everywhere. Energy Advisory Panel members volunteered to assist our school children with the Route 24 Adopt-A-Highway program and a clean-up at the City Marina on Jan. 12 and 14, respectively. Once you pick-up roadside and community litter you seem to notice it more. It really is pretty much everywhere.
By Daniel J. Vance
In 1927, two local newspapers, The Williston Sun and The Levy County News joined forces to print a LEVY COUNTY DEVELOPMENT EDITION profiling local businesses and their contribution to the economy.
One of the featured businesses was the Montbrook Crate Company. The company employed 80 workers making it a community prosperity feeder with its payrolls.
At that time, Montbrook thrived on one industry, the Montbrook Crate Company. The company was organized in 1924 when J.T. Flowers, the present owner, bought all the stock in the old Montbrook Veneer & Basket Company.

G.L. of Cross City asks, "Last year I had my lawyer revise my Will. She also prepared a Living Will and a Designation of Health Care Surrogate for me. However, I recently heard about a DO NOT RESUSCITATE form. Should I get one of those prepared, too?"
Dear G.L.,
Since 2005 our electric bills from our electric co-op have gone up 60 percent due to higher charges per kilowatt and increases in fees charged on a monthly basis. That is about 10 percent per year when the increase nationally is about 6 percent per year.

How Cool is Your Roof?Written by Jordana Fyne
When it comes to roofing, sure it's hip to be "weatherproof " and "sans leaks," but if you want your roof to be really cool then you need to consider the hue. PPG Industries launched an online tool that helps architects and building owners select the best cool roof coating color based on reflectance. A highly reflective paint job means more of the sun's rays are bouncing off the house, keeping it cooler and requiring less air conditioning. By cranking down the A/C, you're reducing the amount of energy your house is consuming while also shrinking your utility bill. Pretty neat. Many of the colors in the Cool Colors Database have even been many registered with ENERGY STAR or the Cool Roof Rating Council, which is an EPA-recognized certification body for the ENERGY STAR program. "We understand how difficult it is for architects and specifiers to sort through manufacturers' catalogs and industry listings to find the right colors and products for their projects," said Scott Moffatt, PGG's director of marketing for coil and extrusion coatings. "This tool enables them to expand the search process and accelerate it at the same time." Tres cool.

ViroPharma Inc. Stock Downgraded (VPHM)
TheStreet) -- ViroPharma (Nasdaq: VPHM) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- VPHM's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.20 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.27, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for VIROPHARMA INC is currently very high, coming in at 74.70%. Regardless of VPHM's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, VPHM's net profit margin of -5.00% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. In comparison to the other companies in the Pharmaceuticals industry and the overall market, VIROPHARMA INC's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$0.08 million or 100.14% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

So I was kinda bored and looking for something to play, when I realized that I really haven't played much as far as Falkow rushes go. So I chose a tribe at random, and decided to make a Deep Ones file.
First thing I noticed was that file space was really tight. I ended up just taking the field snowballers and the open skill Deep Ones, and EX Mermaid and Faytis for both an opening tank and Character fodder. As far as grimoires went, I had no clue where to stuff them, so I just put in a single tidal for emergency removals or something.
Went into Folrart. First game was against Augments.
http://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/repla ... b016537e6c
To be honest, the win was through a whole lot of luck with both Overdose and Grudge missing EX Mermaid. I messed up a couple times, but got quite lucky with some rolls. The problem is, the file seems off. It feels like a blue Refess file. Any tips/advice? Play tips?

Comments On Jan 05, 2014:A worthy investment for your Voyager. Provides a tough metal case for the exterior of the Voyager that will protect the unit in case of crash or other trauma. The top mount kit comes with an external antenna for the same price as the plain protector kit.
