OMG -- we brought one of our dogs and one of our cats to the vet yesterday for their annual check-ups. The cat got one shot, the dog got three shots. The lab technician took a blood sample and a urine sample from our cat to do a wellness test (recommended by the vet 'cause our cat is an old guy -- 18). And we picked up two packs of heartworm pills and a small bag of cat food. I almost gagged when they rang up the bill -- $600!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Holy smokes!!!!! How the heck can those things cost so much?!?!?!?!
Is anyone else paying crazy prices like this for their dog & cat check-ups, or are we going to some sort of elitist vet?!?! :(
I had a Wheaton Terrier she was the love of my life. We fed her rice and lamb - not cheap but a lot cheaper than the Vet.
Yes - that face is way more adorable than any reno!
So, we got a little shock this past weekend. Our Golden (he's 1-1/2) injured one of his back toes - the bone isn't broken, the joint is sub luxated which means the tendon holding it is either torn or broken or displaced.
Turns out - this is a 4 - 5,000$ fix. !!!!!! Even with the insurance covering 80% it's going to be significant, and since there are very few orthopedic surgeons (apparently we are sharing with Alberta) it will also mean travelling to and staying in Vancouver for a couple of days while he has the surgery and recovers.
If you look at your dog's back feet, you can see the back toes, especially the center 2, are actually weight bearing, and completely necessary for jumping and running too. So - never think "it's just a toe".
Awww, but a reno wouldn't have that face!
I just want to say there is insurance that covers yearly shots, neutering/spaying, dental cleaning etc. - they cover 80% - I'm just getting the paperwork finished to send in for one of my pups for his yearly vaccinations as I read this. Mine is through Securican.
We've had it on him since he was a baby, and thought we would just leave it on for a year, but he's a Golden and at a year and a half still into everything so I think I'll leave it on a little longer. We have a new rescue now, and once Kuriboh is over the "accident prone" years we'll cancel his insurance.
I live in a small town, and work with the local rescue society, and we are having a battle with our vets because their prices are so much higher than in the city. If they would give people here a break on those costs at least we wouldn't have such a huge stray/feral and unwanted baby problem.
Oh yikes that is too bad about the diabetes. In case no one has told you, it's the pretty much the same for dogs as people and that means if you cut out all the carbs (grains, sugars) it really helps. Sometimes the kibbles they recommend for it are loaded with the stuff so I'll just put that out there so you know. Dogs never got diabetes until they introduced kibbles full of grains and sugars (starches).
I'm with you on the vet bills and have also considered whether the high-priced vet is necessarily the best vet. My dog is diabetic so, of course, vet visits are frequent. We took her in for one of her regular re-checks and she needed her teeth scaled, which required her to have anesthetic. Bottom line -- about $1,000 over two days for the re-check, anesthetic, IV drip (fluids), tooth scaling, test strips and lancets for her glucose monitoring machine, some more insulin and a topical spray to keep her from itching as a result of her dermatitis. Since she has been diagnosed in March, I've spent $3,000 to $4,000 -- I try not to add it up. Part of me thinks, "you've got to pay to get her the best care", but another part of me thinks, "yeah, they count on you thinking that way"!
If you want to experience lower veterinarian charges, do not tell your vet that you have insurance.
I have discovered that my vet likes my insurance more than she likes my dog. I discovered this one day when I wanted to get a renewal of a prescription for allergies, that I have been getting for my sheltie every spring for years. Once they discovered that I had insurance, they insisted on doing an examination, even though I have had the dog in for an annual checkup only a week earlier.
They wanted $90 for this 'examination'. They insisted, even though I told them about the exam a week ago, and so I changed vets. I told the new vet about the situation with the old vet, and now my charges are within reason.
The way I see it, if they are more interested in my insurance than in my dog, that shows that they aren't giving my dog the proper attention or treatment.
This happened at Barrhaven Animal Hospital, 2900 Woodroffe Ave, on Ottawa
I haven't found any fresh/unfrozen other than what I buy at the grocery store or butchers. People who make it all from scratch usually start from fresh, but it isn't necessary.
Meanwhile the news is still good as I found out you can partially thaw (or totally thaw) meat and then refreeze. I know we've all been told you aren't supposed to do that, but after asking butchers and checking it out, apparently it's not a big deal (most of the 'fresh' chicken you buy in the grocery stores arrives at the store frozen which is something I didn't know before starting raw feeding). The recommendation comes from worry about the time it takes to thaw allowing any bacteria to start growing but when it comes to dogs, that isn't an issue at all (remember they don't have as long a digestive process as we do so are basically immune unless in a very compromised condition).
Anyway, I buy the big bulk packs and let them thaw enough so that I can cut out and package serving sizes (or a couple of days worth per pack) and then I freeze it again. So instead of one big 20 lb lump of food I have 20 or so smaller packs in the freezer. I have never had any problems and the dog has been fine with it too. It's much easier when you can just take a pack out and use it for a day or two.
When I buy bones or 'parts' I do ask for the stuff that has been frozen individually. It's so much easier to deal with that way rather than have a large frozen mass to try and break apart (although dropping on the floor from overhead often helps there I find). My dog loves eating frozen things (I can't figure that out but she just likes it that way) like chicken necks so it's way easier to be able to pull one out at a time. It's also a bonus when it's the stinky stuff like offal as she has it eaten before I even catch a wiff.
DBD, can you buy it fresh and freeze it? It looks like it (pre-made stuff) is cheaper the more you buy.
Well that charge for a checkup and getting weighed is obscene unless they tacked on an emergency charge. Did they justify the charge to you? I would be asking for a breakdown as I can't see any reason for that unless they dinged you an extra $100 for an emerg charge ( if was during normal business hours on a Sat they shouldn't be doing that). I think a standard office visit in this city is normally around $50 - $70. Kohl could have been checked out on a Sat at my vet (and weighed no charge any time) and it would have cost you under $60. Please check where you vet is listed in the yellow pages and see if they are part of the Associated Clinics as hearing those sorts of charges, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were. Those guys charge for the air you breath in their clinics and you can just feel your credit card getting hot when you walk in the door.
Really, there are some great vets in this city who wouldn't soak you anywhere near that kind of money for a checkup and weight check.
oreo, that is highway robbery.... :eek:
Our check up on saturday was $160! All she did was weigh Kohl.
There are various raw diets. BARF is one of them and the rest go from the prey model (basically giving the dog a dead animal or bird and letting them have at it) to all manner of things in between to special blends by breed or ailment, organic or not. There are some raw forums and I can tell you it can get pretty heated with the ones that are really pro one way or the other. BTW, dogs can eat raw because their digestive tracts are shorter so they do not get food poisoning like we would but we do have to be careful to wash our hands after feeding or handling the food.
For me, I started with some of the premade blends that are based on BARF. That helped me get into it without all the prep that would make me squeemish (I thought). There are lots of pet stores (usually independents) carrying various types now and they all come frozen, various price points, and ready to go. I like them because I can feed her the tripe or organs in a ground pattie without gagging.
Here's a good site that explains a lot plus it has one page where the costs are calculated between various diets, premade vs home made, etc. [url]http://www.natural-paws.com/[/url] The owner of the site is in Calgary and also sells various products as do Tail Blazers, Especially for Pets, Pet Planet, and many others in Calgary. Smoodgie, if you called around you would probably find the suppliers in your area.
There are also some co-ops of people around who get great deals from ranchers and butchers. If you visit Raw Dog Canada (on yahoo forums..you have to join) you can find people and sources for various places and types of food.
Meanwhile, I personally have zero belief in the need for grains and carbs for dogs. I just don't see where they would get them in nature as you just never see a wolf grazing out on the grain fields or munching on leaves (there is a lot of debate on whether they get theirs from their kills inards or not). Some folks believe dogs need veggies and I fed mine veggies only when they were blended in some of the mixes. Other than that form, this pup does not like fruit or veggies at all so that sort of took them out of the equation for me (they just get left behind so it's a waste for me). My old dog would have eaten them as she loved things like carrots. So a lot depends on the dog too. You learn what they will and won't eat, what agrees with them (this a great way to feed when you have a dog that is sensitive or allergic as you can determine pretty quick what food is bothering them).
For Ebony, sometimes she gets the premade foods (they include things I find way to icky to make myself) but most of the time she gets whole chicken parts and canned salmon (Costco is great for that type of thing). The chicken is usually from sales when you can buy big boxes of legs with backs which I split up into managable bags. So, Ebony is about 20 lbs and eats a drumstick or thigh for her main meal and gets a frozen chicken neck as her evening snack. Sometimes I get beef or bison or venison from a local person who is hooked up with a butcher and a hunter (boy if you have a hunter around you can feed really cheaply as the dog eats what the hunters cast off anyway). ACtually that is the real bonus as the dogs do better on the things we don't usually use or eat anyway. The stomachs, the organs, the bones. They'll eat the stuff with freezer burn or that is a few days past what is safe for us so that works out great when cleaning the fridge. They will also eat eggs (I can not get Ebony to eat those which is too bad as they are nice and cheap and it's totally entertaining to throw a hard boiled egg in it's shell to a dog and watch them figure it out. They can eat the shells and they are full of calcium. Giving them a whole raw egg is a bad idea as I discovered as she had a great time throwing it around and it was sticky yuck all over the place being as she wouldn't eat it. Raw eggs go in the bowl with food so they don't get slopped on the floor).
I will never go back to any form of kibble. It uses cooked meats and that kills some enzymes that are very beneficial and there is no such thing as kibble without some form of starch or grain as it is needed to form the pellets. There are some dehydrated mixes that aren't too bad but still have some grains in them. The best one I know of is called NRG which comes in different combinations.
Ebony handled raw bones from day 1 and she was only 12 weeks old. I was amazed at how that little pup made fast work of chicken legs. They will eat any bones but weight bearing beef and such are generally not recommended because they a re too hard. If a dog is a gulper it's often better to get them the ground variety until they learn to chew properly.
The really bright side is how gorgeous the dogs are. Their coats improve, their teeth are white white and very clean and no bad breath. What you pay for in food is saved in vet bills. The other thing I really appreciate is the poops. I would say Ebony's were half size and now that she is grown there is no comparison as she has probably a quarter of the output she would have on kibble. They also aren't soft and stinky so they are easy to pick up. In my yard I have learned I can leave them. She poops, the magpies swoop in and take them away. Talk about a bonus. I sometimes find poop up on the top of my fence and have some explaining to do to the neighbours. The magpies seem to like the calcium or something in the poop. I swear there have been days when I have a dozen or so Magpies out in the yard cleaning up for me. If the magpies don't come, I can wait a day or so and the poop turns white and just disintigrates into a powder, then a dust, and then it's gone within a few days. It just doesn't get better than that in my book.
Your vet sounds great. I will drive far and wide for a great vet. We have even considered driving all the way to Red Deer to see our old vet as she is wonderful and no nonsense as well. Next time I will definitly give him a call.
DBD can you give me specifics about the RAW diet you feed your dog. You can email me if you don;t think anyone else wants to hear, but I have a little girl who is terribly sensitive to grains in her food and the pure protein food we are feeding her is making her quite rotund. I think I would like to start all the dogs on it (4 at present) as I have heard it makes the difference between surviving and thriving.
What do you feed them exactly and how much does it cost? At present I am spending about $90.00 every two weeks for their food and that is about the limit of my budget. Would it be more expensive than that?
Thank you for any info you can give me.
Mrs. M, my vet is Transcanada (16 Ave & 5 St NE). Super vet, just super I can't say enough about him and generally while sitting in his waiting room you hear people talking about how much they like him . He's a wonderful vet and I have never felt gouged or overcharged. More often than not I would say he does a lot of work for little or nothing above his costs. I also know he is a great diagnostician. He's figured out a few animals I know had stumped their own vets. I swear he is intuitive sometimes. he is also super with kids when they come in with the pet so there are usually a lot of kids there who only believe they brought mom or dad along to drive them. Apparently he has chats with them so they become very responsible little pet owners.
Gads I would say $800 for a tooth is insane :eek: , absolutely out to lunch. My last dog had a few surgeries and none of them (even a major one) was over $400. What on earth could be going on with taking out a tooth to cost that much?
As for vets who apply guilt (and I am pretty sure they get extra classes in that after what some have done with me) there again, my vet sorted me. His attitude is why would you stress an animal when you don't have to (x-raying, needles for blood, the stress of just being in the office)? How is it being a good owner to put an animal through that sort of thing when it probably won't change the treatment the animal is getting. All it proves is some vets know how to increase the bottom line better than others.
Mine does recommend heart worm pills and shots but he and I have been having discussions about that as I mentioned. He is pretty open minded.
When I got Ebony I told him she was going to be fed raw. He didn't like that idea one bit, but I was not bending after what I had just gone through with my other dog and cancer so he said he'd just wait and see. Anyway, as she came in for her puppy shots he was more and more impressed with her and by the time she was spayed at 6 mos he had converted to recommending raw to his clients. He's always been more prone to recommend natural things first for problems so this fit with his attitude. My puppy was just too stunning to deny what the diet was doing. Also, I had to bring her in for a microchip at just over a year and again he raved about this pup and how he rarely sees pups going as long as she has without any illnesses (I can attest to that with my other dog who seemed to get the poops a lot as a pup). She's 2 now and still not been sick one day.
Meanwhile the reason for that explanation is that when it came to her boosters and my refusing (based on reading and such and not being sure of their benefit anymore), he had to admit I was right about the diet and we would adapt a wait and see with shots and heartworm too. To be honest, if there was heartworm in Calgary I wouldn't risk not giving the pills, but there isn't, so no need for the treatment. This dog will not be getting any chemicals or additives unless someone can give me a pretty good reason for it.
When it comes to the big gun treatments I can say my vet taught me again. When my last dog got cushings/cancer he sent us for an ultrasound (he doesn't have the machine). The jerk vet there insisted she have x-rays, blood tests, you name it even though I explained she only need an ultrasound. He refused the referral unless all the other work was done, applied copious amounts of guilt, charged me $1000 and recommended the dog be euthanized (add $350). I freaked out, grabbed the dog and an IV and left. My vet opened and I was waiting, fuming and upset. He gave the dog a shot, and she was right as rain the same day (she had a tummy upset from the stress of the other vets) and she lived another 4 months with no problem. I was so mad I went after the other clinic until they gave me my money back. My vet was also mad. How dare they question his referral for one test and make me pay for all the others we didn't need. As he said, the tests and x-rays would only tell us we needed an ultrasound anyway so why not go directly to ultrasound and save the dog stress and me expense? But no, some clinics do that trying to lay the guilt on when in reality it is they who don't have the animal's best interest at heart, only money is driving them. I still fume over that clinic as it was not my first run in with them and I have heard way to many nightmares about that sort of business.
Back to where I was going...(I warned you this hits a nerve with me so please excuse diatribe), even with the condition my dog had, the vet sorted me. He said I could pay $3000 for the treatments, stress the dog, put the dog in pain (operation might kill, after effects might kill, and recovery time would be long with little chance for a change of outcome) and still have a dead dog in 6 mos. who had suffered a great deal or I could watch for pain (which we could treat), let the dog live normally and happily and have a dead dog in 6 mos. He really laid it out for me (in a sensible way) that this condition was going to kill the dog and the choice to make was to let her live as humanely as possible. So he passed up me and my credit card willing to pay anything for even a faint hope to keep the dog alive in favour or convincing me to treat the dog humanely and without invasive painful proceedures. So, better to have a few good months rather than a few plus 2 maybe but full of stress and pain.
A second opinion I got tried to get me to go ahead, but in the end I was very glad my vet had convinced me to do what was best for the dog no matter how hard a decision it was. He was right. When it comes to some cancers they are going to win and adding painful treatments is not what a concerned owner should be doing. Meanwhile as a great vet, he let me know I was welcome to drop in anytime and I sure did those last months. Everytime he took us in, checked out what was going on and never charged me one cent for the visits. All to make sure the dog was not in pain or suffering at all.
On the other side, the ultra sound recommendation was to repeat the US every 4 weeks. My vet said no as it would only give us info and not change treatment. We would know how big the tumours were getting but what difference would that make? They were already bad enough that we knew the outcome. So the other vet would have made about $1500 on that recommendation and it would have been for nothing and would have upset the dog.
So I really think people should shop for their vet. They are not all equal. There are some really wonderful vets and some real jerks and generally there is no reason to pay dearly for a jerk to poke and probe when it isn't necessary.
[B]OH MY GOSH!!![/B]$800 is extreme. We just had 3 teeth extracted from my dog as well as a lumpectomey (nothing) and a wart removed and the whole shebang was $550. I would never return to that vet again. DBD your vet sounds remarkable. Where abouts in Calgary is that?
It is a problem in some areas of Canada but we don't have a problem here either I believe it came from the Southern States I am sure if you have had your dog to the Vets for reg. shots they would have told you about it if it was a problem in your area. I would check before travelling to far from home with the dog if it a problem in that area ie. trip to Florida.
What is this Heartworm thing? I have a 8month old schnauzer with thick dense fur, I don't think a mossie could possibly get in there to bite. I come from a country riddled with mossies and malaria in summer and have never heard of heartworm there. :rolleyes:
DH doesn't like to have the shots done but is forced to as we have to kenel our dogs and most kennels won't take them without their shots. We had a Vet before we moved and he told us once every 3 years was often enough and once in 5 yr.s for Rabies. He was an old school Vet and said that getting them to often doesn't hurt them just your pocketbook.
Gosh great tips guys!!
I must price around as my dog is due for shots but if too much here he will be waiting until we go on vacation back home. My Mom lives in country and I have been taking him to a nearby vet there. I can get his teeth cleaned for just over a 100 there which is very cheap!!! She really loves the animals and she may suggest a few things but always explains and prices etc
Gosh Smoodgie that was a pricey visit you had there and I really hope your Horse is OK!!!
What a great vet you have! I have had the "wellness" tests pushed on me (I have since changed vets). I succumbed the first time for a 13 year old sheltie.....but same thing, what did it tell me but she was old? They have a way of making you think "What, you don't care enough about your pet?" When they wanted to sedate and x-ray my current dog, an Aussie, because she was limping on her hind leg after a strenous weekend of frisbee catching. I asked another vet for a second opinion. He had the "wait and see" approach....he said to wait at [I]least[/I] 2 weeks for the strain to get better! She was better after a week, and I changed vets to his practice.
I understand they are in business to make money, but I hate getting gouged!
My first regular visit to this vet is this spring....hopefully I will be just as happy!
Many thanks for the tip about treatment.....I will always remember that one now...
What the #$@$ is a wellness test supposed to do? Sheesh an 18 year old cat would seem to have already done pretty well without having any tests to say so. I mean there are proactive approaches, but it's a little late at 18 isn't it? let me guess...$350 - 400 for the blood/urine tests?
I'm afraid this is one thing that always hits a raw nerve with me. I love my vet. I never feel overcharged or dooped with him. Others send me into a complete dither when they are gouging. My first vet I caught red handed, bald faced lieing to me just to scare me into some tests. Then I found this vet and he has taught me one valuable lesson, no tests unless it will change treatment. No tests for nice to know type things. No tests when a few hours will tell you what you need to know (for instance when my last dog had the poonapoohs she got a shot and I was told to come back if she wasn't better within a few hours. No blood test to test for giardia when chances are that's what she seemed to have and sure enough, she was better without tests. Experience should be good for something when it comes to vets but some just use them anyway). So when she got ill enough that I had to take her to emerg here I realized what a racket some vets have going.
One unfortunate emerg vet saw us when she had a bladder infection. I brought a sample in with us and they tested it, said it was an infection but felt she should have x-rays and an ultrasound (cha ching!). I asked how that would change the treatment and he said it wouldn't so I said no, give us the shot/pills and we'll be on our way. Gads he tried to convince me for a good 10 minutes and when I told my vet he just laughed and congratulated me for not being sucked in.
As for insurance, after going through cancer/cushings with the first dog I was really aware of what things can cost so was considering it when I got Ebony. My vet told me that the only time insurance pays for itself is the first and last year of an animal's life (which was certainly true of the first dog). He felt a person was better putting the same amount of money into a bank account and crossing their fingers that they would never need it as most people don't end up getting their investment back.
As for annual type things, well this pup is not getting shots or any of that other junk anymore (my vet and I are still debating that and so far we are going without). I've gone totally natural with this one (after reading about cancer etc. with the other). She eats only raw food and will only be taking things like heartworm if we happen to go to an area where it exists (none in Calgary at this point). I have come to realize there is some real questioning going on in the vet world when it comes to some of the things we have been lead to believe.
Meanwhile I would ask why the cat needed that testing, why it needs shots (if it's an indoor cat). As well you might want to read up on vaccinations for dogs as there is some question as to why they would need them annually. In people we seem to get away without boosters every year so what's going on here? You can get rabies shots that are good for 3 years, so why get them every year? The reality is mosts vets make a min of 30% of their annual income on shots so can get pretty stiff when questioned. The ones who are in it for the animals, don' t mind discussing it.
Anyway, if you have other vets around, call them and ask what they would have charged for the annual check/shots and see what you find out. I know here there is a huge difference in offices with some being almost triple what one like mine would charge. Boy $600 I'd be upset too.
We pay about $80 for yearly shots and check up per dog. It may be worth it to check around and get prices from other vets as that price sounds pretty high to me, but it may just be the city you live in. We used to take our dogs to a nearby small town for their shots and check ups and paid significantly less than the "citified" vets. No vet insurance pays for regular check ups or maintenance on dogs. Dental cleanings, yearly shots and check ups are not covered. For someone like me who has 3 dogs full time (4 right now) vet insurance is pretty expensive, but well worth it considering we are covered up to $12,000 over the life of our pets. We spent $5000 trying to save one of our little guys (didn't make it) and decided after that it was a worthwhile investment as I never wanted money to become an issue if one of mine got cancer or something.
They have got to be so expensive and they have you in a hold. I try to call and price it out before we go as I have also been hit with one of those bills. They are very good at suggesting this test or that test and really the cat is 18 years old what is the test going to tell you only that the cat is old which you already knew. Any time you get any kind of blood work done it is through the roof. I don't think your Vet is any worse than the others they are all expensive.
I am wondering if it isn't a good idea to buy medical insurance for pets, especially when you have a few. I have no idea what the insurance covers but it may be worth looking into. Years ago I used to drive to Carp, Ont. as I found a vet there that was more reasonable than some others. A friend drives to the Gatineau , Qc to vet. who charges less.
I stopped all the heartworm meds 2 years ago for my dog. Year after year another $30 blood test and $90 for meds. The reason being the dog is never around mosquitoes. I do not get all the annual shots either anymore, only every 3 years. The dog is never boarded out so no kennel cough shot either. We had dogs /cats as kids who never had shots after the ones given when they were just weeks old and they lived to ripe old ages. The family could just not afford it.
My dog is fed a premiun organic expensive food. No by products, no fillers, human quality ingredients. That is where I draw the line.
Maybe I am just an irrresponsible pet owner, I do not know but the Vet. business has becomea racket. :rolleyes: I do not remember years ago getting reminders either in the way of a mailed postcard or a telephone call, that a pet was due for a blood test, shots or a check up.

The H.U.F. (Honoring Unsung Fathers) Awards & Scholarship Brunch is a special Father's Day [annual] event, created and hosted by Judge Mablean Ephriam. What started as an annual Mother's Day Vs Father's Day—"sibling rivalry" competition amongst brothers and sisters, in-laws, [some] nieces and nephews; later on transcending into an intimate jazz brunch for fathers only hosted by Judge Mablean at her home (humble beginnings), has now become a 'must attend' affair. Gaining notoriety, the H.U.F. Awards has been a sellout with exponential growth each year. | |
Presiding over [real] divorce cases on Fox TV Divorce Court, Judge Mablean had seen and heard it all. Issues surrounding family, especially the presence of a strong, loving and hard working father is very dear to her. She strongly believes that the positive interaction between a supportive and caring father and his child(ren), nurtures the inner spirit, and paves the way toward healthy adulthood and society. However, the courtroom was proving otherwise. With heart-breaking cases, feuding parents standing before her and innocent children as puns, Judge Mablean had seen enough. She decided that she was going to become a catalyst for family "dining" time. Thus, became the birth of Honoring Unsung Fathers. | |
The undertaking of the awards is to identify and recognize fathers who play a vital role in the development of their child(ren) lives with the intentions of reaching out to families and communities to perpetuate good quality and responsible attributes of African American and Latino/Hispanic fathers; to encourage and promote positive fathers by spotlighting fathers who accept their role and responsibility, and does it well. Awards are generally given in five (5) categories: Solo Warrior (single father), Love Cares (married father), Fatherhood Forever (divorced father), Village Dad (non-biological father) and Living Legacy (father, grandfather, great-grand, etc.) |

An overview of the Texas defense from the second open practice on Thursday, August 12, 2010.
It's become an offseason rite of passage for Longhorn fans -- extensive wringing of the hands and gnashing of the teeth about the defensive line position. The last several seasons players have stepped up to fill the void, but will it happen again in 2011?
The first-ever GoBR Texas 25 for 2010 -- ranking the top 25 high school football players in the state of Texas.
Behind the numbers of the 2010 Texas recruiting class -- a look at the astonishing success rate the Longhorns experienced in securing commitments from nearly every player offered.
It's National Signing Day 2010 and the Texas Longhorns just received Letters of Intent from all 25 commits. BON brings you an overview of the entire class, including in-depth analysis and scouting reports on each player.
It's National Signing Day and this is your headquarters and open thread for all the action today as the 25 members of the 2010 Texas recruiting class fax in their Letters of Intent and several national prospects announce their decisions.
With the late commitments of DeMarco Cobbs, Darius White, and Mike Davis, the Longhorns have one of the best classes in the modern history of the program and could even add a few more players in the final weeks before NSD.
A preview of the Under Armour All-American game, along with insights from the week of practice and updates on the recruitments of Darius White and Jordan Hicks, two of the remaining Texas targets.

GM extends summer shutdown at Volt factory
GM is planning to extend a production slowdown for its extended-range electric car, the Chevy Volt.
Last month, Michigan Radio's Tracy Samilton reported that GM was halting production of the Volt for five weeks in March and April to reduce inventory, in part because of lower-than-anticipated demand.
Samilton wrote:
The car has been highly praised, but it's expensive. Even with a $7,500 federal rebate, the Volt still costs about $32,000. Meanwhile, people can buy a highly fuel-efficient regular car for much less – including GM's own Chevy Cruze, which costs about $19,000.
Additionally, the Volt facility was scheduled to be shut down for two weeks in July---a common practice for car factories---but GM has now extended that period to three weeks, again citing a need to reduce inventory.
But according to the Associated Press, "a spokeswoman says the company sold a record number of the electric cars in March and may cancel the extra week if strong sales continue."

My name's Timofey. I'm from Russia. I've read your article, "Here's what Ultraviolet feature does and does not do." Thank you! I have a situation. I've got a friend in [the U.S.]. Her birthday is coming, and I've decided to gift her a movie. I registered on Amazon to get a code to watch it online. However, during purchasing, a message has appeared that reads, because of the terms-of -use policy, it's not allowed to be used with "Amazon Instant Video" in my region. Even if I've finally bought a movie, could I give that code to someone else? I thought about gifting her an Ultraviolet copy, but as I read it in your article, a person can get it if she or he has got the DVD or Blu-ray disc. I don't know where she lives, so I can't send her the disc. Do you have any ideas how I can actually give her this present? — Timofey Klyzhko.

Post a Comment |
Timofey has run into a common problem whenever you deal with Hollywood and its movies. The studios want to make sure you buy their films over and over and over again.
Timofey is referring to a fairly new digital movie streaming service called Ultraviolet that comes with some DVD and Blu-ray movies. It's a code included that when entered on a website unlocks a digital version of that movie so you can stream it to a laptop computer or a mobile device such as an iPhone or iPad.
Ultraviolet is Hollywood's way of introducing digital versions of movies for people on the go so they don't have to illegally make copies from the disc. Users pay extra for DVDs or Blu-ray discs that have the Ultraviolet version, so don't think that Hollywood is doing this out of the goodness of its heart.
But in an effort to prevent piracy, the studios have placed certain restrictions on these Ultraviolet copies, as well as on other similar digital downloadable movie services, such as the one at Amazon.
One is that users cannot trade or give away a movie code to someone else because it would violate terms of service. In reality, it means the studio would rather the user's friend fork out the money to buy his or her own digital copy of the movie.
Another probable restriction is that these codes, like the movies on DVD and Blu-ray, are region coded. In other words, they are programmed to play only in certain areas of the world, again to prevent piracy. So, an Ultraviolet code from a Russian DVD probably wouldn't work with an American download and vice-versa. I suspect it's also the same for iTunes redemption codes.
It's also a violation of the terms of use to sell Ultraviolet codes. It appears some users have posted their codes for sale on eBay. In one case, an Ultraviolet code of "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol" on eBay was stopped by the site for copyright infringement.
So, if Timofey wants to buy his friend a movie in the U.S., he will have to buy the whole movie on DVD or Blu-ray with the Ultraviolet code. He also will have to purchase the movie in the right region code so it can play in this country.

The bottom line is Hollywood studios would rather squeeze every last bit of money from film fans rather than make it easier for them to watch their movies.

How can I rate this when I can't even see how much sugar is in the recipe,so I can make a decision to make it or not??? How can it show no sugar in the recipe. Low fat yoghurt, we all know (or should know) has more sugar in it, than plain Y plus there's all the sugar in the fruit. NO WAY!! |

this smoothie is great to make. If I don't have orange juice, I use v8 splash and I add a little protein powder as well. No need for sugar, the bananas add their own sweetness. once you put in the bananas, and the different types of berries, you are good to go!! |

good stuff... i use plain yogurt and add wheat germ and a can of unsweetened pineapple tidbits for more fiber and flavor! |

All that fruit + juice still contains a lot of sugars. I substituted water & ice for juice. Plus add some form of protein (whey powder, almond butter, protein powder). |
Submitted by: BERRY4 (7/13/08) report inappropriate |
Don't give up the fiber, potassium, and thickening power of the bananas...freeze them beforehand for extra thickness. Added flax seed is good, as is a scoop of rice or soy protein powder-or add a handful of ground almonds for additional protein. This is a good basic recipe! |

Add some cocoa for a chocolate berry smoothie, no need for sugar as the berries are sweet enough. :) |

First: September 3, 2011 Last: September 3, 2011 |
I am a retired American livimg in Thailand. The reason is that I am married to a Thai woman, and have a Thai family here in Bangkok.For that reason I need to contact the Social Security for information and documents required by the Thai government so that I can continue to live here in Bangkok as a foriegn retiree living in Bangkok. I would just like to say that the access to www.ssa.gov (the social security website) is almost impossible from here in Bangkok, Thailand. Other American retirees living outside the U.S. have told me that it is the same for them. For every 100 attempts to log in I am lucky if I manage to get 5 that work.. And when I do manage to get to the website, I often find it impossible to continue on to the particular topic I want to go to. Now I am not a "novice" in communications by computer...in fact I worked for the last 25 years a communications technician for a civilan contractor company providing communications for the U.S. military. So I have a lot of experience with computers and communications. My question is this: If I can go online anywhere in the world, sign in to my U.S. bank account with my password, and transfer funds from that bank to my bank in Thailand in a few minutes...then why can't I contact the Social Security and download a simple verification of my Social Security earnings as REQUIRED by the Thai immigration authorities to allow me to remain as a foriegner retired and living in Thailand. Frankly, I think that is because the Social Security Administration has not yet realised that it is not 1950 or 1980. This is 2011, and you can get just about anywhere online --- except the Social Security Administation it seems. The SSA needs to wake up and see the light. That is why my user name here is stuckinBKK ---- standing for stuck in Bangkok. And for those of you do read this ... please do let my complaint be known to the SSA . There service for American retirees living outside the U.S. is terrible. |

There, certainly, is a great musical in your life — and you're actually working on one, right? Prince of Broadway? Who's going to play you? Robert Morse?
Are you a character in Prince of Broadway?
Considering the career you've had, I'm expecting The Ultimate Broadway Musical. How could it be anything else?

HP: He did that — a long time ago [Morse played the Prince-inspired Ted Snow in 1958's Say, Darling]. When I saw it, I thought, "My God, have you been tailing me?" He hadn't — but he caught me. It was fun.
HP: No. I'm a voice, a presence. There are some surprises, and I don't want to give them away. No, I ain't on the stage, I assure you of that.
HP: Well, I hope so. It's going to be not quite like anything anybody has ever seen. We'll go into rehearsal next year, with Susan Stroman, Linda Lavin, Sierra Boggess, Richard Kind — 11 people in all, a goodly list of talented people that I've always wanted to work with.
HP: Yes, I sure do. I remember when people actually wore coats and ties to theatre every night. They don't anymore. It's very different. I wore a black tie to the opening of Phantom.
Your opening-night party was at the Beacon Theatre. Do you recall anything about it?
HP: Not too much. I just remember it was very elaborate and swell, very festive. I met David Merrick coming in, and I was glad to see him. He had had a stroke and could not talk, really, but he was very friendly. We started the same year — 1954 — across the street from each other. I was in the St. James with The Pajama Game, and he was in the Majestic with Fanny.
I always had a good time in theatre, even when shows don't turn out as well as I'd like. I've always been happy in the theatre — a Pollyanna — but I don't live much in the past. That's maybe more to the point than anything else. I really like to live in the future.

SXSW Comedy '11 Lineup Released, Looks Incredible
[READ MORE on HuffPost Comedy: SXSW Lineup Announced]
South By Southwest, the Austin arts festival widely known for its Music, Film and Interactive events, has announced its 2011 Comedy lineup. Drawing both established stars and rising new talent in the world of comedy, this year's festival (which takes place March 12-19) appears to cater to an audience more actively using new media to get their comedy.
Unlike in the past, SXSW Comedy will take place concurrently with the Film and Interactive festivals. Comedians expected to appear during this portion of SXSW are Michael Ian Black, Thomas Lennon, Anthony Jeselnik, Pete Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani, Al Madrigal and Dave Foley.
Also during the Film and Interactive portions of SXSW:- "John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show": The "Daily Show" correspondent will bring his Comedy Central stand-up show, which features sets from the most exciting emerging American comedians, to Austin for a special taping.
- "Comedy-Death Ray": This notorious stand-up showcase, normally held weekly at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles, will once again take place at SXSW. The show, which is curated by Scott Aukerman, has been one of the hottest tickets at SXSW in years past.
This year, SXSW is featuring live performances of four of most popular comedy podcasts:
- "WTF with Marc Maron": Maron, a presence on the stand-up comedy scene for over two decades, will record a special live taping of his podcast. His twice-weekly show delivers insightful and often soul-baring conversations with comedians, writers and other artists he's met throughout his varied career.
- "Comedy Death-Ray Radio": Scott Aukerman will host a live version of his radio show that consists of interviews, sketches, characters and music from members of the comedy scene.
- "The Nerdist": Chris Hardwick and his co-hosts Jonah Ray and Matt Mira will also perform their podcast live with a special guest(s). Hardwick's unique background as both a comedian and self-proclaimed nerd (he hosted "Web Soup" and regularly writes for Wired) fits well with SXSW's bent towards technology and innovation.
- "Doug Loves Movies": Doug Benson fills out the festival's podcast roster with his weekly podcast where he and his comedian friends riff on anything movie-related, known for the famous Leonard Maltin Game.
The Music portion of SXSW will include Comedy events as well:
- "The Benson Interruption": In addition to bringing his live podcast to SXSW, Benson will also do a taping of his Comedy Central show where he interjects his opinions into other comedians' acts.
- Two final nights of stand-up showcases held during the Music festival, featuring SXSW returnees Tig Notaro, Donald Glover, Glenn Wool, Eugene Mirman and a special appearance by Aziz Ansari.
Finally, here's a complete list of comedians scheduled to appear at the festival:
Scott Aukerman, Matt Bearden, Doug Benson, Michael Ian Black, Kurt Braunohler, Rob Cantrell, Chris Cubas, Joe Derosa, Chris Fairbanks, Dave Foley, Brett Gelman, Donald Glover, Chris Hardwick, Andy Haynes, Pete Holmes, Anthony Jeselnik, Howard Kremer, Ben Kronberg, Tom Lennon, Darryl Lenox, Al Madrigal, Marc Maron, Doug Mellard, Eugene Mirman, Kumail Nanjiani, Tig Notaro, John Oliver, Brody Stevens, Bryson Turner, Brendon Walsh, Glenn Wool, Hampton Yount.

Come Party With Me: Inauguration — Dessert
Although the Inauguration isn't until next Tuesday, I'm inviting friends over to kick off the ceremony on Sunday. Since Barack Obama was senator in Chicago, the menu has a Chicago theme. After finishing the deep-dish pizzas, wait an hour before serving this decadent dessert. Eli's is the Windy City's famous bakery known for its chocolate chip cheesecake. While you could order a cheesecake from Eli's and have it delivered, I recommend whipping up a homemade variation. This recipe features sour cream (like most Chicago-style cheesecakes) and results in a cake that is firm on the outside, but deliciously creamy on the inside.
To look at the recipe, read more.

Natasha Katz creates a neon jungle for Sweet Smell of Success
Say the words "film noir" and a child of three will know what you mean. They conjure up the moody, dark glamour of 1940s and 50s cinema, the chiaroscuro contrast of black-and-white cinematography, the fatalistic imagery of sex and death. There is no more indelible style in 20th-century culture.
All of which poses certain problems for a lighting designer who has to create a film noir world onstage. Just ask Natasha Katz about Sweet Smell of Success, the controversial new musical based on the classic 1957 noir about the vicious machinations behind New York's most notorious gossip column. The film, set in a Times Square where daylight never intrudes, is a neon-lit view of hell, where columnists troll for dirt about the rich and famous, and desperate press agents feed them manufactured "items." A total flop on its initial release, the film ultimately attained cult status thanks to its punchy screenplay and the scathing performances of Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, as columnist J.J. Hunsecker (based on the notorious Walter Winchell) and press agent Sidney Falco.
The screenplay covers a 24-hour period, as Hunsecker seeks to destroy the romance between his sister, Susan, and her lover, jazz musician Steve Dallas. The agent of Hunsecker's fury is Sidney Falco, a flack who sets up a vicious smear of Dallas that destroys his career. And that's just for openers, in 96 minutes of cross and double-cross, no motivations offered, and none needed.
Interestingly, Sweet Smell of Success is one of the few musicals not to dilute its source material; John Guare's book is far more complex than the film, setting up an elaborate backstory that details the origins of the Hunsecker-Falco relationship and transforms Susan from an immature young girl to an assertive aspiring actress who knows a thing or two about deception and betrayal. The characters are more rounded, their motivations and fears laid out explicitly as the action moves to a climax that is even more violent than that of the film. Marvin Hamlisch's score (unsentimental lyrics by Craig Carnelia) blends blaring orchestral jazz with be-bop rhythms and vaudeville parodies, adding an extra tone of musical menace to these sad, sordid doings.
Given the film's celebrated look — James Wong Howe's black-and-white cinematography is a classic — the production's designers had their work cut out for them. In this case, they are more than up to the challenge. In Bob Crowley's scenic concept, a ring of New York skyscrapers is torn out of the ground and dangles ominously over the stage, with neon signs, tenement facades, and screaming newspaper headlines lowered in as needed. (Crowley's show curtain, in which an uncountable number of J.J.'s "Broadway X-Ray" columns retreats into the vanishing point, is some kind of classic.) It's a startling design that also allows the action to move from one scene to the next with the addition of minimal scenic pieces.
Equally gripping is Natasha Katz's lighting, with its daring experiment in color and angle. Nighttime sequences feature acid-etched neon colors — pinks, purples, greens — pouring in from sharply-defined angles — diagonals, sides, ultra-high positions — that fade into no-color mornings that, in contrast, have the look of period black-and-white photography. The show's backdrop, an ominous steel-gray collage of clouds, suddenly bleeds red as the denizens of Times Square line up at the newsstand to read about J.J.'s latest smears.
In addition, Katz's lighting efficiently carves up the stage as needed, isolating Susan and Dallas in a seedy bedroom at one moment, then finding J.J. and Sidney making an unholy pact in a dark corner of St. Patrick's Cathedral a few minutes later. Her command of space is really put to the test in the climactic number "Don't Look Now," in which J.J., hosting a telethon, performs a beloved vaudeville routine while a gang of cops beats Dallas insensible.
"I've always wanted to do film noir in the theatre, but I never really knew how," says Katz. She adds that it wasn't until the production's Chicago tryout that she realized, "You can do film noir with color — that's because film noir, in many aspects, is really about single sources of light. It's about creating an abstract environment in a realistic world. I don't think an audience would sit through a full night of black-and-white lighting."
As for her unexpectedly angular compositions, the designer says, "I must attribute that to Bob Crowley — there's a ring of lighting units that sits on top of the buildings [suspended over the stage]. That was the beginning of those angles. I knew how dynamic that ring would be." In addition, she says, "I was able to go even further with the angle idea. There are pipes way offstage, in the corners, put at very dramatic angles. Also, there are beams coming in between the buildings. That angle defines the look of the show."
Katz says that sidelight was very important to her concept but, again, sidelight from unexpected angles. "When I used low sidelight, you could see the black legs on the other side of the stage. The dancers looked great, but you saw what holds up the buildings. So I shifted to a number of different angles, and it looked a hundred times better."
Interestingly, the designer says, "The color palette on this show is extremely limited, even if it is bold. You don't have any intermediate colors." This is best seen in numbers like "Welcome to the Night," in which J.J. takes Sidney out on the town, or "One Track Mind," in which Dallas makes a splashy nightclub debut — colors stream in from steep side positions, giving the playing area a disturbingly artificial glamour. These scenes "have to do with the street versus the nightclubs, what makes these people live and breathe at night," she says, adding that with those buildings towering above the cast, "it looks like cockroaches scattering at night. These are people who don't want to be seen at 3:00 in the afternoon."
This contrast is best appreciated in "Don't Look Now": "The song is defined by color; in the beating of Dallas, color is sucked out. Those two worlds exist side by side, in one visual idea. I think moving lights have a lot to do with being able to isolate different areas like that."
One particular moving light was central to the design: the x.Spot from High End Systems. "They're on the ring above the buildings," says Katz. "With the x.Spot's zoom optics we could light the buildings using gobos, then zoom them so it was just a slit of light on the building. Those zoom optics were the main thing — the units are trimmed really high, at 36' [10.8m], and the x.Spots are brighter than many other moving lights. On the other hand, they're noisy — that's our next big problem to solve in the theatre."
Katz adds that an acoustician consulted with the creative team, adding baffles that considerably reduced the lighting units' noise. However, she notes, the noise generated by moving lights is an issue that isn't going to go away. "It's got to be fixed," she says. "On one hand, I don't think Sweet Smell could look the way it does without the equipment I had. But this is an extremely serious issue that affects the lighting designer, the sound designer, the director. Do you edit yourself and not use the x.Spot, or do you find a way deal with the noise, or fix it?"
Katz is quick to point out that her close working relationship with Crowley and director Nicholas Hytner was responsible for the show's notably unified look. ("I can't tell you what a satisfying experience this was, creatively," she says.) The trio also collaborated on the spectacular Lincoln Center Theatre production of Twelfth Night a few seasons ago, and she and Crowley have done several musicals together, including the current hit Aida. Each of their co-designs is filled with technical and creative challenges that result in unique looks.
Others involved in the production include associate LD Jeff Whitsett, assistant LD Daniel Walker, moving-light programmer Richard Knight, production electrician Robert Fehribach, head electrician Randy Zaibek, assistant electrician Lonnie MacDougall, and advance moving-light tech John Blixt. Equipment for the production was supplied by Fourth Phase.
Although Katz was nominated for a Tony, the only award the show received was for John Lithgow for Best Actor in a Musical. Unfortunately, the show closed June 16.
Like everyone else involved in the production, Katz was dismayed by its critical reception. However, she says, the work provided many compensations. "It was one of the most process-oriented shows I've ever done. I didn't know how far we could go with it, and every day it grew." That's a statement that's worth any number of awards.

Book Description:This is a survey of the point in history when Sweden rose to preeminence in Europe. Drawing on the latest literature in Swedish and other languages, Paul Lockhart examines the institutions of the Swedish 'empire' at the height of its influence, while focusing on the key historical questions: why did this impoverished state become a great power, how was it able to maintain this status, and what brought about its eventual decline?

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has scheduled two public workshops and a telephone conference call to hear what people think about possible rule changes that would extend FWC octocoral (soft corals) regulations into federal waters adjacent to state waters off Florida.
The FWC also wants to receive comments regarding the possible creation of an octocoral harvest quota that would include landings from state and federal waters, and the continuation of octocoral harvest prohibitions in Atlantic federal waters north of Cape Canaveral and from the Stetson-Miami Terrace and Pourtales Terrace Deepwater Coral Habitat Areas of Particular Concern.
The FWC encourages interested people to participate in the workshops and telephone conference call. The workshops are from 6-8 p.m. as follows:

Tuesday, May 3 City of Key Colony Beach City Hall Building, City Hall Auditorium Mile Marker 53.5 600 W. Ocean Drive Key Colony Beach
The telephone conference call is Thursday, May 5, from 6-8 p.m. EDT (5-7 p.m. CDT). Please contact the FWC at 850-487-0554 for information on how to participate in the call.
Anyone requiring special accommodations to participate in the workshops and conference call should advise the FWC at least five days prior to the events by calling 850-488-6411. If you are hearing- or speech-impaired, please contact the FWC using the Florida Relay Service at 800-955-8771 (TDD) or 800-955-8770 (voice).
