I am taking a detour from our next scheduled movie to run a vehicle poll from (TPM) in light of the latest Q&A with Hasbro:
This is our final close-out poll for ROTJ. I could have made the poll for ANH, but I have something else planned for that film's final poll.JediTempleWarRoom.com: Back in an August 2009 Q&A session Hasbro stated that an upgraded Original Trilogy Y-Wing was in the works for 2010. Might this version finally represent the Grey Squadron from RETURN OF THE JEDI, or could this version be from A NEW HOPE with a mission to "Stay on Target"?
Hasbro: Here we don't have such good news. We had been working on a new Y-Wing, but this was dropped from the plan as retailers decided to scale back on Star Wars exclusives for 2010. We do think that we will have an opportunity for a new version in 2011 or 2012. So the question back to your fans is "which one would you most like to see us do next?" Let us know what folks think.
However, you can vote for a Y-wing from ANH or ROTJ - please specify in your post.
I am not going to stay on the sidelines for this one myself, and strongly support a Grey Leader figure packed in with the ROTJ Y-wing fighter!
The figure is of an Asian-actor pilot I believe, wearing a Gray Squadron uniform and similar to the 1999 Rebel Pilots 3-pack mistake Hasbro dubbed as Arvel Cryynyd - who was a Green Squadron A-wing Pilot as everyone now knows since Hasbro corrected that mistake for the 2009 toy line (Wal-Mart exclusive I think).
The Y-wing? It would be larger than the original mold they've been releasing, and more on the scale of the late Clone Wars Y-wing release, but an all-new sculpt (it has to be). The Y-wing would fire 4 missiles (two from the front nose guns, and 2 from hidden side-of-the-cockpit torpedo tubes). The real ship shot the latter and the front projections were actually laser guns. The cockpit would probably be a 2-seater like the CW version. Perhaps you could put a targeting computer package in the rear seat for ANH scenes. The droid socket would be fully accessable to any astromech droid from the 3 3/4" line.
I think the bomb bay doors should open underneath the ship - similar to how the missiles launchers open up on the top of the new CW Y-wing. But with lower doors, you can carpet bomb. I recommend having at least 4 bombs below - maybe 2 on each side or more, for single-shot release.
I still think the ANH Gold Squadron markings would be fine for this ship even if it came with the ROTJ Gray Leader pilot figure.
What do you think?
Do you want a new OT Y-wing Fighter?
What color scheme would you want on the Y-Wing?
Do you want a pack-in pilot figure? Who?
I honestly think by Hasbro's Q&A answer, that this ship would not be released with a repaint / re-issue in mind. It would be too costly and more obscure than say a new larger Slave-One, which is nearly a main-character's ship whereas Jango / Boba repaints would prove more popular than say Dutch Vander and Gray Leader's ships. (EU retcon's Colonel Horton Salm was Gray Leader, but Salm is an aging, balding white guy, and the movie showed a younger Asian Y-wing pilot with the line "I'm hit!" - though perhaps he was not Gray Leader after all. In any event, I'd rather have the younger Asian pilot that actually appeared in the film (in the correct uniform this time) than Col. Salm - who could be released later as an EU figure from the Rogue Squadron novels and comics.
Anyway - we could be looking at another $70 Y-wing. Would you buy?

Patterns of somatic mutations in the tumor may affect prognosis of cancer patients, and many studies routinely collect tumor tissues and sequence known commonly mutated genes. We consider a problem of building a prognostic model that will define a patient's survival risk based on the somatic mutations that are observed in the patient's tumor. These mutations might co-occur or be mutually exclusive, and they might affect the survival through both main effects and interactions. Various decision trees methods are available for such problem. We develop an alternative approach where we consider each possible combination of mutations, and then we cluster their survival curves into few risk groups. Various distance metrics between survival curves and clustering methods are compared using simulated data.
This is joint work with Mithat Gonen and Sean Devlin.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
Today, EFF and the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) filed joint comments to the FEC, urging the agency to leave its current Internet rules in place. As we blogged about earlier this week, the FEC is considering whether or not to develop new Internet rules. But as we note in our earlier post—and in our comments to the FEC—increased regulation of the Internet could chill speech and harm privacy and anonymity.
Increased regulation of online political speech may also undermine two goals of campaign finance reform: protecting freedom of political speech and expanding political participation. As we explain in our comments:
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is considering amping up its regulation of online political speech—an idea that should be rejected from the get-go. Back in 2006, the FEC adopted a limited approach to regulating the Internet. Some FEC commissioners feel that its approach has grown outdated. But increased regulation of the Internet would threaten both free speech and privacy.
EFF submitted an amicus letter to the California Supreme Court urging the justices to review a case that has significant implications for the free speech rights of anonymous online speakers under California law.
EFF submitted an amicus letter to the California Supreme Court urging the justices to review a case that has significant implications for the free speech rights of anonymous online speakers under California law.
For the last three years, EFF has greeted the holiday season by publishing a list of things we'd like to see happen in the coming year. Sometimes these are actions we'd like to see taken by companies, and sometimes our wishes are aimed at governments, but we also include actions everyday people can take to advance our digital civil liberties. This year has seen great progress in areas such as transparency reports and encrypting digital communications. We want to build on that progress in 2015.
Here are some of the things we're wishing for this holiday:

A fun and unusual way to serve your favorite chili recipes!
Planning a casual get-together with friends? Bake, then freeze these little bowls in an airtight freezer bag up to one month. Let them thaw a few hours before serving. If bowls get soggy, place them in a 350ºF oven for a few minutes or until crisp.
Not in the mood for chili? These versatile bowls are a great container for thick stews, creamed meat, vegetable mixtures or even savory salads.

I also enjoyed reading the manga despite the fact that I technically was too young to read it (I was only 11 when I started reading it and it is definitely not for children).

Roland JX-8P
The JX-8P is a decent analog polysynth. It has 6 voices of polyphony, great MIDI implementation and patch storage as well as an external memory cartridge slot. Though it is far more advanced than its predecessor, the JX-3P, the JX-8P has its drawbacks. Hands-on programming is sacrificed and reduced to assigning the parameter you want to tweak to a data-slider near the pitch/mod bender. Enter the PG-800 controller which gives you total control of all the JX-8P's editable parameters with hands-on traditional slider control. Membrane buttons dominate the front panel of the JX-8P providing access to the various preset and user patches and to page through and assign editable parameters.
Professional features can still be found under the hood of the JX-8P. Its 61 note keyboard is velocity and aftertouch sensitive. Just like the Juno synthesizers it uses DCO's for a very stable system, however its sounds are a little thin and bright. It also features portamento, unsion and solo (monosynth) performance modes. It is used by Biosphere, 808 State, Tangerine Dream, The Shamen, Depeche Mode, Überzone, the Cure, Go West, Ozric Tentacles, Future Sound of London, Jean-Michel Jarre, Europe, and Jimmy Jam.

"Eight Million Stories": Humans of New York Project
"There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them." – From The Naked City
In 2010, Brandon Stanton lost his job as a trader in Chicago. Despite his mother's objections, Stanton moved to New York City to pursue the latest thing with which he had become "borderline-obsessed": photography.
At first, Stanton was only snapping pictures of the city's residents. His original goal was simply "to photograph 10,000 New Yorkers and plot their photos on a map." But after a few months, Stanton began adding captions and commentary to the photographs. "Taken together," the photographer explains, "these portraits and captions became the subject of a vibrant blog, which over the past two years has gained a large daily following. With nearly one million collective followers on Facebook and Tumblr, HONY now provides a worldwide audience with glimpses into the lives of strangers in New York City."
In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald called New York City the "wild promise of all the mystery and beauty in the world." Some eighty-eight years later, it still holds all that mystery and beauty, and through his lens and careful attention, Stanton helps develop those stories in colorful resolution.
The following are just a few of my favorite images and stories. Follow Humans of New York here.

Lightning storm, Waratah Bay

not signed
91.5 (h) x 127.0 (w) cm

Lightning storm, Waratah Baywas inspired by a particularly dramatic storm that Williams witnessed from Walkerville looking across to Waratah Bay. The work is one of his first experiments using the layered, horizontal format in oil painting. Within each layer there are indications of rain and streaks of lightning breaking up the varied blue tones of water and sky.
The painting reads equally well as a tautly conceived response to abstract painting. Williams had been inspired by the exhibition Two decades of American painting that came to Australia in 1967. As he said: 'I couldn't ignore the Colour Field movement and continue to paint. I had to make a response to the most significant art movement of that time in Australia, and that was the New York Colour Field Movement.'

Synallaxis erythrothorax
Rufous-breasted Spinetail
- Order: Passeriformes
- Family: Furnariidae
- Polytypic 2 Subspecies
Chiapas, Mexico; 21 July 2009 © Peter Bono
The Rufous-breasted Spinetail (Synallaxis erythrothorax) is endemic to Middle America. The greater part of its distribution extends along the Caribbean slope from southeastern Mexico to northwestern Honduras, but it also occurs on the Pacific coast from southwestern Mexico to El Salvador. This spinetail is a skulking bird found low in dense second growth and overgrown edge habitats, and is much more often heard than seen. Adults have a black bill and red eyes, surrounded by a grayish brown head and mantle. The rump and tail are a somewhat paler brown, and the wings are bright rufous. Its white throat has black streaks that form a color between the throat and bright rufous breast and flanks. The gray belly gives way to brown undertail coverts. Juveniles have a dusky breast and less defined or absent black collar, and have brown eyes and a dull yellow bill with a black culmen. The Pacific population (S. e. pacifica) is generally paler, sometimes lacking a strong collar or throat markings. The Rufous-breasted Spinetail constructs a globular nest of sticks with a tunnel entrance, suspended low in dense bushes.

Discontinuing antidepressants and benzodiazepines upon becoming pregnant:
Adrienne Einarson, RN; Peter Selby, MD; Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC
March, 2001
Two of my patients are planning to become pregnant. One is taking paroxetine and the other lorazepam. We have discussed what to do when they become pregnant and have decided they should stop taking these drugs as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. Is this the right decision?
The decision to discontinue these drugs during pregnancy should be based on scientific evidence rather than "hearsay" that women should not take psychotropic medications during pregnancy. Recent epidemiologic studies have documented the relative safety of these drugs, so women should not feel compelled to stop taking them when they become pregnant. If, after receiving appropriate evidence-based information, a woman decides to stop taking the drugs, they should be gradually tapered off to avoid abrupt discontinuation syndrome.
Depression and anxiety disorders are common among women of childbearing age, and these women are often prescribed antidepressants and benzodiazepines. Although many of these drugs have been found not to be teratogenic,1-4 fear of taking them during pregnancy persists. For some reason, more fear appears to surround use of psychotropic drugs than surrounds other types of medication, probably because the illnesses for which they are prescribed even today still carry a certain stigma. We were able to illustrate this in a recent report on the safety of echinacea during pregnancy where 94% of the women in the study perceived the herb to be safe for use during pregnancy even though not a single study attested to its safety.5
Sudden discontinuation of antidepressants can cause patients to experience discontinuation symptoms or re-emergence of the primary psychiatric disorder.6 (The term "discontinuation" is preferred over "withdrawal" because withdrawal implies addiction or dependence.) Antidepressants have an extremely low risk of abuse; they are not considered addictive agents.7 Symptoms of discontinuation can include general somatic, gastrointestinal, affective, and sleep disturbances that tend to occur abruptly within days to weeks of stopping or reducing the dose. Re-emergence of depression occurs more gradually.8 Reinstitution of antidepressants mitigates the symptoms of discontinuation within a day, but it might take several weeks for a beneficial effect on depression to be felt.9
Although benzodiazepines can be abused, most patients do not abuse them.10 Benzodiazepine dependence is well documented, however, and is characterized by loss of control over use of the drug, escalation of the dose, and much time spent acquiring and using the drug or recovering from its effects.11 Patients physically dependent on benzodiazepines, whether they meet DSM-IV criteria for "abuse" or "dependence," might experience symptoms following abrupt discontinuation.12 Symptoms can last for weeks or months and can occur when even therapeutic doses are stopped suddenly. Patients report excessive anxiety, palpitations, insomnia, labile mood, and restlessness and can suffer from perceptual disturbances, primarily of vision and hearing. Seizures, psychosis, and delirium can also occur.13,14
We recently published a study documenting the adverse effects of
36 women who called the Motherisk Program after abruptly discontinuing
either antidepressants or benzodiazepines (28 had discontinued the
medications on the advice of their physicians). Before becoming
pregnant, these women had been functioning well with their depression
well controlled. They stopped the medication only because they feared
it would harm their babies. All the women suffered abrupt
discontinuation syndrome; 11 subsequently reported suicidal thoughts;
and four were later hospitalized. One of the remaining women had a
therapeutic abortion, and one substituted alcohol for a benzodiazepine.
After Motherisk's reassuring counseling, two thirds restarted their
medication within several days. All babies born to mothers who
restarted medication were normal and healthy.15 Physicians
should ensure that pregnant women with psychiatric disorders receive
evidence-based information that balances the benefits of treatment
against unproven adverse effects on unborn babies.

The prospect of their homes basking in sunlight after years of shading by a huge tree is being celebrated by a group of Manurewa residents.
The owners of three properties in Arthur St had to fight for their share of northern sun after they learned a 50-year-old totara on a neighbouring property was recommended for Auckland Council's schedule of protected trees.
The tree's owner did not object to protection, so it was up to the five residents to show it was a nuisance to the commissioners, Bill Smith, Rebecca Macky and Ken Graham, who were delegated full responsibility by the council to decide the Manukau District Plan schedule.
The panel agreed to add to the list about 200 significant individual and groups of trees but in their decision said they gave considerable weight to the views of those who have to live with the effects of the trees.
After visiting the home units in Arthur St, the panel said the neighbours' health, safety and amenity outweighed the views of the tree owner and council's experts.
The panel said damp and mould inside the units "compromises the quality of life and amenity values".
An arborist advised that pruning to let the light through would halve its dense foliage and merit for scheduling.
People need to apply for resource consent for works proposed on, near or under scheduled trees.
Residents' spokesman Dene Bowmar said the decision was common sense "because it's in a bad spot" and offered the prospect of work that would be fair to residents.
However, the tree's owner said he was surprised it missed out on protection because it had scored highly in the arborist's checks.
A Howick land owner, Kevin Farmer, failed to persuade the panel to leave his pohutukawa and a Norfolk pine off the schedule.
The Herald reported the felling of several other trees on his property at 96 Marine Parade in January, when the Government removed general protection of trees on private urban land.
At the time, the felled trees were nominated for the protected schedule.
Mr Farmer said the two remaining trees would restrict future development of the site.
The panel said he gave no proof of development plans and could put his concerns when he applied for a resource consent.
In Manukau, arborists assessed 742 individual and groups of trees before putting forward about 200 for adding to the schedule.

What are the benefits of purchasing a UK Applicant Resource Download?
Our UK Applicant Resource Download helps you to obtain a first or renewal UK passport. There are many rules and regulations that British law requires you to adhere to, and these requirements are often difficult to make sense of. Most people do not have the time to make themselves an expert in the nuances of these regulations just to attain one vital document, nor can they afford to hire an immigration consultant that will charge hefty service fees. Our full time researchers have cut out all the excess jargon and assembled the truly necessary information into an easy to understand application guide, including sample pre-filled application forms.
Can a passport that was originally issued for 5 years when the child was under 16, be extended for a further 5 years now that they are over 16?
Yes, the passport can be extended as long as it was issued before March 26, 1998 and has been valid for less than 10 years.
If I am 16 or 17, must one of my parents (or legal guardian) sign my application form?
Yes they must sign the 'declaration of parent' section. If a legal guardian is signing, an original court order must be supplied.
Are photos required for the extension of a passport?
Yes, photos are required for the extension of a passport.
Must a child who was born outside of the UK be registered?
No, it is not necessary to register a child who was born outside of the UK. It is a matter of choice. Nationality is defined by sight of original marriage/birth etc documentation.
What happens to my valid visa in my expired passport?
If your passport is still valid, you can cross-link your visa to your new passport. This is not necessary for US, Canadian and Australian visas.
I am concerned about providing personal and credit card information over the internet. What security measures have you taken to ensure my information is kept private?
E-Book Resource Center takes the privacy of all its customers very seriously. We have practices which include the secure storage of personal information and safeguards against the accidental release of personal information. E-Book Resource Center uses SSL encryption to transmit sensitive information. All information submitted is strictly confidential and will not be passed on in any other form for any commercial purpose. This privacy policy has been developed in compliance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). PIPEDA sets out rules for how organizations such as ours can collect, use and disclose your personal information. Read the full Act at the following link:
Who should sign a child's passport application?
A parent or legal guardian should sign a child's passport application, as well as the child if they are 12 to 15 years of age.
Can a child be included on a parent's passport?
Since October 4, 1998, all children must apply for their own passport.
My child is already on my passport, can we still travel?
The change of rules regarding the addition of children to passports does not affect children already on a parent's or sibling's passport. They can still travel until the passport expires or until they choose to apply for their own passport.
When only one parent is accompanying minor children to the UK is it necessary to carry a letter of consent from the other parent?
There is no legal requirement to do so but it may be helpful to have such a letter available in case a problem should arise. We have included a template for this type of letter within the UK Applicant Resource Downloads.
Do I need to have my application countersigned if it is a straightforward renewal?
If your passport was issued in the last 10 years, it is not normally necessary to have your application countersigned unless your appearance has noticeably changed.
Who should I ask to countersign my application if I have been in Canada or the US for less than 2 years?
You should ask a professional person of good standing (doctor, dentist, teacher, etc) who knows you to countersign your application. Or you can obtain a countersignature from your previous location.
Are passport application forms included within the UK Applicant Resource Download?
Application forms are provided free of charge from government websites. For your convenience, below you will find links to download the links to all passport application forms and guidance notes. These links are found in the UK Applicant Resource Downloads as well, along with detailed instructions and samples showing how to correctly fill them out.

What is your refund policy?
If you are not completely satisfied with the UK Applicant Resource Download you have purchased, we provide a 100% money back guarantee.
Can I hold more than one passport?
The British Government has no objection to dual or multiple citizenships, or to a person holding passports from more than one country. However, certain other countries do object so it is advisable to check with the authorities of the other country concerned.
I have held a UK passport in the past. Does this mean I need to fill out a renewal application?
You can apply to renew your passport if you still have your last passport and:
• it was a standard UK adult ten-year passport or a UK five-year child's passport issued before you were 16
• it is undamaged
• you do not need to change your name or national status
You cannot renew your passport if you were previously included as a child on someone else's passport. In this case you will need to apply for a first adult passport.
Can my spouse obtain a British passport or citizenship through marriage?
British citizenship cannot be acquired through marriage alone. Your spouse would have to live in the UK for a continuous period of three years and apply for naturalisation through the Home Office while still residing there. Once the naturalisation certificate is obtained, they can then apply for a UK passport. It is not possible to apply for naturalisation while residing outside the United Kingdom.
I have been told that I do not qualify for British citizenship. Can I appeal against this?
If you feel our interpretation of the law is incorrect then you can seek legal advice. Copies of the British Nationality Acts can be ordered from Her Majesty's Stationery Office or from a book shop that specialises in legal documents. The legislation currently in force is the British Nationality Act 1981.
What do I do if I lose my passport and need one urgently?
Whenever a passport has been lost or stolen, you must fill out the Lost or Stolen Passport Notification Form. The issuing office will need to verify the applicant's identity before a replacement can be issued and this can only be done during normal office hours. When you receive your passport it is always a good idea to note down or make a photocopy of the passport details and save them somewhere safe just in case it is lost or stolen.
Why can't I provide my short form birth certificate to support my first passport application?
The British Embassy needs to confirm your place/town of birth and your parent's details (if you were included in a parent's passport, for nationality purposes and in case you were the child of a diplomatic parent). This information is only shown on a long form birth certificate.
Do I need to send my birth certificate and expired passport?
If you hold a valid passport, a birth certificate is normally not necessary. Always send an expired or expiring passport if you already have one. The expired passport and any original documents will be sent back to you once your application has been processed.
Are church-issued marriage certificates accepted?
Chuch-issued marriage certificates are only accepted for name amendments. Otherwise, you should supply a full, original civil marriage certificate bearing a raised seal.
Who do BNO application forms apply to and what important documentation should I include?
The BNO application forms are only for applicants who have previously held, or been included on, a BNO passport (Hong Kong connection). You will need to provide your original PIC.
How long are passports issued to children under 16 valid for?
Child passports are valid for 5 years. Please see 21 below.
How can I obtain an extract (original copy) of my original UK birth/marriage certificate?
You may obtain an original copy of your UK birth/marriage certificate from the General Register Office. Postal Applications can be sent to PO Box 2, Southport, Merseyside PR8 2JD. You can apply in person at St Catherine's House, 10 Kingsway, London WC2B 6JP and collect certificates on the fourth working day following your visit or have certificates posted to any address supplied. A priority service is available by phoning 0151 471 4524 or faxing 0151 471 4368 (UK codes – from USA dial 011 44 151 471 4524/4368). You will need to have a credit/debit card for this service.
Can the Passport Office add pages to my current passport if it is full?
No, new pages cannot be added to a passport which is full. You must renew your passport.
How do I contact the British Embassy from my country?
For general inquiries or to following up on your UK passport, you may contact the British High Commission call centres at: Australia: 0011 44 208 082 4726 Credit Card Line (£0.69p per minute, excluding the cost of an international call).

This is the script I've been using for over a year with no problems:
ffvideosource("insertvideohere.mkv", colorspace="yv12")
Now I'm getting a crap ton of artifacts or basically the screen is greyed out. I tried it out with two different videos just to make sure it wasn't due to the video I was using. I also tried running it without the colorspace and it was still the same.
Since it was impossible to convert like this I tried using Directshowsource instead, and I removed the colorspace in the script as well since apparently directshowsource doesn't handle that? (I really have no idea) The video ended up upside down in Vdub with the subtitles still there (normally the subtitles are removed from the get-go without me having to do anything).
I also have no idea how to fix that so I'm stumped. I normally convert to lossless lagarith but I don't mind converting to another codec as long as it's relatively quick and problem-free. The majority of anime I have is 10-bit as well so I'd like to use something that converts that to 8-bit.
Codecs and things that I've downloaded:
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 10.0.0 (not sure if CCCP is better, if it is let me know and I'll download that instead)
AMVApp 3.1
UT Video codec
Quicktime (not sure if this is important but I'm throwing it out there)
I downloaded ffdshow again after having the grey screen in Vdub

Just another plug for the "purple stuff" used it only a few times when my BLM was a pup and it's been two years since and have not had any more issues
Just another plug for the "purple stuff" used it only a few times when my BLM was a pup and it's been two years since and have not had any more issues
I use Oti clens in my dogs ears. He has never had any problems and he swims daily.
mine has the same problem
I am a huge believer in an allergy symptom from a food ingredient/s. Wheat, Corn, Soy, Glutens, Chicken, Beef, by-products etc. can all cause some type of allergy symptom to different degrees. "Been there Done that" as they say... with Golden's (pets not hunters) in the late 70's & early 80's. One big issue for my dogs was brewers yeast. I live in So. California where fleas were a problem due to the humidity. Battled the ear yeast infection problem for years till I figured it was from a supplement I used Brewers Yeast and Garlic for fleas. I stopped the supplement in fall & winter and started up again in spring and as soon as I started feeding the BY&G the dogs ears got bright red. Stopped the supplement and the ears cleared up. Never used anything like it again. Nutritional yeast is much different and not the same. Found a food back then that didn't use brewers yeast also. Natures Recipe Lamb & Barley formula. I tested a lot of different foods over the years on those dogs and many more dogs since and as long as I stayed away from the grains, glutens, by-products I have never seen another ear issue of any kind ever. Long before grain free foods there were manufactures that use other grains that seem to not cause any problems with ears. Keep in mind every dog is different.
I am a huge believer every dog needs a digestive enzyme like Prozyme or other like it to keep the gut healthy. Especially if you have used antibiotics for ear infections. Antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria in the gut and the enzymes add in the good bacteria.
There are many good supplements on the market all of which will help most health problems. You can Google for more info. PROZYME Products, Total-Zymes, Nzymes.com, Animal Naturals, NUPRO All Natural Dog Supplement, Kelp Products of Florida, and for serious flea allergy issues is Body Guard by Protech Pet Health http://www.protec-pet-health.com/body_guard.html

Training Isn't Expensive..... IT'S PRICELESS!
You can keep cleaning the ears but that doesn't solve the problem of why it's there in the first place. That's what you need to figure out. Usually if a dog is licking his feet or scratching his ears it's a food allergy. Put him on a limited ingredient food. Buy a good higher end food that is grain free. One with a meat protein he has never had (lamb, duck, venison etc) A limited ingredient is the key. It will take a few weeks but if he does well you know you are on the right track. He isn't allergic to anything you're feeding at that point. You can then reintroduce another protein and wait again to see if he is okay with it. If he has a reaction you need to omit that from his diet. Might want to add coconut oil or salmon oil. Just a spoonful/squirt a few times a week will help with general well being, digestion, skin and coat. Hope this helps.

What are you using for bedding in his outside doghouse? If you are using straw, especially old straw ,get rid of it and buy wood chips.
I had problems with ear mites when I had beagles several years ago and my vet told me that mites of any kind will lay eggs in the hollow center of the straw, I changed to cedar bedding and the problem went away.
Might help IDK

I have reached an impasse, or what I consider an impasse, I am currently reading Beginning C++ Through Game Programming, Third Edition by Michael Dawson, and I can't read more then a few pages before I have to put it down again. It took me about two weeks just to get through Chapter 1 Types, Variables, and Standard I/O: Lost Fortune.
Its not that I'm a bad reader, on the contrary I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows in a Weeknight front to back, but I just can't seem to read this book. So my question is, can I learn programming from reading and doing the example projects, or should I switch to doing my own projects and referencing to the book and the internet when I reach a problem.
This has become a really big problem for me as I'm a very fast learner (I'm Currently taking AP Classes and AICE) and my lack of progress, or what i perceive to be lack of progress, is really frustrating me, and the more frustrated I get the less I want to read the book, and the longer it will ever take for me to master this or any language in general. I would really like some feedback on this issue as I have read some topics on this and still haven't decided by myself.

Production constraints and demand pressures mean high gas prices are here to stay.
Gary Hunt ( email@example.com) is president of Global Energy Advisors. George Given ( firstname.lastname@example.com) is chief economist and senior vice president at Global Energy Advisors.
Production constraints and demand pressures mean high gas prices are here to stay.
Volatility in energy prices is both a scary and wonderful thing. It brings risks that must be managed under uncertain future conditions. It also brings opportunities to profit from price movement and competitive market advantages exploited through strategy, skill and luck. Just how good the outcome of such volatility can be depends on how well each market participant studies the fundamentals, manages uncertainty and remains flexible.
With natural-gas supply and demand nearly in balance, gas prices and volatility levels have remained tenaciously steep by most historical measures since early 2003. The horrific hurricane damage sustained in 2005 in the Gulf of Mexico added further stress to domestic natural-gas and oil supply infrastructure that is not quite yet back to normal. U.S. crude oil production in 2006 averaged about 5.1 million bbl/day, down slightly from 2005 levels as a result of the hurricanes. And offshore gas production averaged 7.8 Bcf/day in 2006, down nearly 20 percent from mid-2005 levels, although some is undoubtedly due to gas-deliverability depletion. Since that time, gas prices have retreated but still remain well above long-run supply cost.
Current high gas prices reflect several factors that have converged into the "perfect storm."
First, the high cost of replacing natural-gas production across all basins has raised the price floor. The gradual reduction in supply from conventional gas basins and the steady increase from unconventional basins, coupled with increased imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), has exacerbated the situation. Absent immediate alternative sources of supply, these price levels will persist for some time.
Second, persistently high crude prices (in part due to increased global turmoil) have strengthened the "crude sympathy" that exists between the two commodities. High oil prices "allow" gas prices to rise due to competitive fuel switching. Also, the petroleum supply industry tends to favor oil development over gas when prices rise, because oil development costs less and leads to production sooner than gas development does. And due to cold weather, a record amount of natural gas was withdrawn from storage in February, dropping inventories below the five-year maximum for the first time in more than a year.
Oil and gas price moderation likely will occur after several years, but the actual timing and extent are still subject to large amounts of uncertainty. In particular, price declines are not expected until significant new sources of supply materialize in North America.
For some time, Global Energy has considered the impending increase in LNG supply as one sign that moderation eventually would occur, and the recent startup of the Gulf Gateway Energy Bridge and Altamira projects bolstered this opinion. Additionally, significant new LNG-import capacity is now under construction (such as Canaport in New Brunswick), as is more drilling for "unconventional" gas.

Obama skipped his invitation to speak at the NAACP convention, and sent Joe as his proxy. Word was that almost nobody showed up to listen to what Joe had to say. Romney spoke & got some boos, but he showed up, probably knowing that some of the things he was going to say weren't going to be popular.
Can you think of any reason why Obama would essentially snub the NAACP like that? Made no sense to me.

Vandals season ended by Utah State
LOGAN, Utah - University of Idaho men's basketball missed 13 of its first 14 shots and never got on track in a 76-56 loss at Utah State on Saturday in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.
The loss ends Idaho's season with a 19-14 record. The Vandals came up just short of their first 20-win season in 19 years, but still posted their most wins since the 1992-93 team went 24-8. Utah State (19-15) advances to the CIT quarterfinal round.
Idaho didn't score until the 15:34 mark and didn't hit a field goal for the first five minutes of the game. USU wasn't much better over the first five minutes, as the Aggies made just two of their first 10 attempts. Once USU found its touch at the 14:01 mark, leading 6-3, Idaho wasn't able to hang around.
The Aggies rattled off 13 unanswered points on 4-of-7 shooting to take a 19-3 lead at 9:32 of the first and never trailed by less than 12 points from then on out. Idaho didn't crack double figures until 5:37 remained in the first half and saw itself down by as many as 24 points in the first half.
After Utah State took a 39-16 lead into the break, Idaho outscored the Aggies 40-37 in the second half, but pushed the deficit below 20 points on just two occasions in the period.
"They haven't won 92 percent of their games here for no reason at all," Verlin said of the Aggies. "This game needs to be flushed down the toilet. I don't think we need to focus on this game as far as our season."
As a team, Idaho shot just 40.8 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from 3-point range. No Idaho player reached double-digit scoring, as junior Kyle Barone and sophomore Stephen Madison scored nine points apiece.
Utah State shot 51.9 percent in the first half and finished the game shooting 29-of-59 (.492) from the floor. The Aggies also went 6-of-16 (.375) from 3-point range and 12-of-14 (.857) from the free throw line.
Idaho held a 33-30 rebounding edge, but gave up 10 offensive boards that USU turned into 13 second-chance points. The Vandals also committed 18 turnovers - six on traveling violations alone - which led to 21 Aggie points.
Despite the loss, Verlin said he's still proud of the way the team responded to adversity this season. After losing three straight games by a single possession in late December, the Vandals won 12 of their final 18 games, posted their best Western Athletic Conference record in school history and qualified for postseason for the third time in four years.
"They played with their hearts all year long," Verlin said of his team. "There were numerous times where we could have cashed it in. This team did a number of unbelievable things, and things that you have to be proud of."

Mom's Pickled Beets
Summer on the hot prairies brought wonderful vegetables in a huge
garden my mother grew not far from the house. The only trees around
our property were the ones around the garden, so there was some
shade from the hot sun. When the restfulness of Sunday came, and
we wanted a snack, mom would send us into the garden with a pail
of water, a salt shaker, and a paring knife.
We would work out way through the peas, radishes and beans,
then on to the carrots and kohlrabi. The water was used to wash
off the dirt, the knife to peel the vegetables and salt made the
kohlrabi so much better tasting. In the fall, Mom would also dig
up the horseradish for a special treat.
While I don't eat these recipes often, they bring about a wealth
of memories - places, people, and my Mom's ability to make these
dishes without any measuring or fuss.
Boil together:
1 cup of vinegar
3/4 cup of pickling spice water
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Sterilize lids and rings, then pour liquid over beets and seal.

Did you know?
In Sri Lanka, with average life expectancy at 76 years and rising, and urbanization bringing with it lifestyle changes affecting more and more sectors of society, people are increasingly exposed to risk factors for chronic disease. While life expectancy for women in Sri Lanka has made steady gains since 1920, it has not improved for men since 1980 due to risk factors such as smoking and excessive drinking and delays in seeking healthcare.1
The findings to date of this BRIDGES project have confirmed the presence of risk factors for diabetes among young people in Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, studies have shown that one in five adults has either diabetes or pre-diabetes, but until DIABRISK-SL, no research had been carried out into risk factors among the nation's young people. Their findings suggest that urgent action is required to raise awareness of diabetes and obesity in developing countries and encourage young people to make lifestyle changes to reduce their risk.

I will bet that BHO either mentions the sequester or the nay vote in his speech today in Boston during the "interfaith" service for the marathon victims
Sorry, but this is SOP nowdays for either party that has things go the other way. A pitiful way to lead on either side. In the State of the Union Address he asked for a vote, " the American public deserve a vote". OK, a vote was taken and a majority said no.

Harry Reid and all like him are 'snakes in the grass'....Obama and his Administration are the worst possible thing that has happened to our Country in history. Time will prove this correct as we go through the next 2 or 3 generations paying for the mistakes and problems they have caused! God help us all....

Her astronaut Husband should be ashamed of himselves; methinks he probably has future political aspirations and sadly is using his disabled wife as a stage prop to further his aspirations and get publicity & face time for his own self. Sadly in our celebrity crazed culture face time trumps everything including substance.
What is disgusting is Obama in effect scolding those who voted to uphold the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. They took an oath to do just that. The scolding should be given to those who didn't honor their oath. Hopefully the voters will remember and deliver their own scolding at the polls
From a Constitutional standpoint the First 10 Am to the Constitution comprise the Bill of Rights. They arent negotiable. Any politician who want's to should be ousted. F
From a practical standpoint anyone who goes into a school, movie theater, or other crowded public venue and opens fire is a despicable demented COWARD. The last thing a COWARD wants is the prospect of being confronted with equal or superior force. IMHO from a practical standpoint the way to minimize events like Sandy Hook is with the advancement of the arming of America, NOT the disarming of its citizenry.
The Colo theatre killer had maps s of gun free zones and planned his attack with those in mind.
Whether or not I'm right or wrong on my premise is actually irrelevant though due to the fact that the 2nd Amendment & The Bill of Rights is not negotiable and shouldn't be subjected to emotional irrational assaults upon it
Giving society a fish is the definition of insanity, Teach them to catch their own fish and then they become INDEPENDENT and Free Thinking and the D's just can't have that.

I think that maybe I can explain it. For "universal" background checks to work, first the govt has to know who owns ALL the guns. It is possible that I could legally own guns that no one knows that I own. If I were to transfer them to you through a private transaction, there would be no way that the government would be aware of the change in ownership and if you committed a heinous act with one of them, as long as you didn't tell the govt where you got the guns, they would never know that they were at one time in my possession, so the only way for "universal" background checks to work is for the govt to first REGISTER ALL firearms. If a universal background check law were passed AND everyone with a firearm that had been in the family for 50 years or so actually complied with the law and went to the trouble of having a background check run before transferring ownership of that gun, then eventually ALL guns would be "registered". Those two reasons are why many (including me) oppose universal background checks.
Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.

Gig'em Aggies!! BTCO'77HOO t.u.!!
I don't understand what the bill was set to accomplish? From what I understand of it, it was making things that are illegal...illegal. Is that what all the outrage is about? The bill didn't affect private sales at all. Sales at gun shows and the internet are required to go through the background check process unless they are private sales. And the internet private sales cannot go across state lines. So again what did this accomplish?

- Description
This 360 degree panorama shows the tent city of Place St. Pierre in the process of being emptied into hopefully more permanent homes. This was a rare moment to capture an event like this, which demonstrates that progress, while at times slow, is progress nevertheless.
Thanks to Leonard Doyle and Jaako Helleranta for helping me to capture this amazing moment, and to Paul Heckbert for dramatically improving the lighting near the tents.

text: I am not very up-to-date on my EU, most of the books were very hard to find in my area. I know about the Sith Luke figure, and I was wondering, did he really become evil, or did he "join" the Sith as some sort of undercover thing to obtain information? And if he really did join the Sith and become evil, what brought him back? And one final question-What book was this in? Thanks.
