As far as the negatives, first is just the overall value. Given how much one spends for the cruise I didn't expect any negatives so I'm a little disappointed at several items. First, the food was terrible. I've been on several other ships before and this was by far the worst. Second, one of our excursions was cancelled the night before we were to leave as there wasn't enough people signed up for it. While I understand that happens, a similar excursion was available the day they cancelled it and we could've gone on that one. Third, I am still fighting about my bill as I was charged $100 for 2 DVDs that I was watching the night before we disembarked. I dropped them off at reception where I was told they would take care of it. 2 weeks later and I'm still fighting.
As far as items that Silversea couldn't control would be the amount of wave action on the days at sea were pretty significant so much so that I was sick. I've never experienced that on a larger boat. Also, it was cold just about the entire time. The wind whipping off the ocean made the balcony virtually useless. The excursions were extraordinarily expenses. Lastly, the shower temperature fluctuated between scolding to freezing in a matter of seconds without touching anything.
I'm on the fence as to whether I would go on Silver Sea again solely because of the value aspect and the fact you spend so much money, but most of what I look for is a nice cabin, service and a quiet ship so that part suited me well. The biggest downer though is the quality of the food and the menu became very monotonous.

54 counties in Illinois have reported positive signs of West Nile Virus this year including positive mosquito collections and positive birds.
3 human cases have also been reported.
Positive signs of West Nile Virus have been reported in both Tazewell County and McLean County.
McLean County Health Department's Kera Simon Brossette says the lack of rain is increasing the risk of West Nile Virus.
Brossette said, "Dry and hot is whenever we see West Nile Virus increasing because rain isn't washing away the mosquito breading grounds."
Several collections of mosquitoes have tested positive in Mclean County.
2 birds have also tested positive one in Bloomington and one in Normal on Constitution trail.
Brossette said, "Positive mosquito collection sites have been both east and west of Bloomington Normal. So we know West Nile is present in our community. We're really just trying to stay diligent in informing people to take those precautionary steps because the disease is completely preventable."
No human cases have been reported in Mclean County however one has been reported in Tazewell County.
Tazewell County health department's Sarah Sparkman suggests taking precautions especially during dawn and dusk.
Sparkman said, "Make sure there is no standing water around your house, dump out any bird baths refresh that water on a daily or weekly basis for sure. The other thing we want people to do is if your outside between dusk and dawn make sure you are using something with deet in it."
Sparkman says West Nile Virus presents itself like a cold and 4 out of 5 people don't even know they have it.
The people with more severe cases are the ones who are typically tested.

SOURCE International Dairy Foods Association
WASHINGTON, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) has named J. David Carlin to the position of senior vice president of legislative affairs. In this role, Carlin will be responsible for managing all of the association's legislative, political and economic policy activities. He replaces Jerry Slominski, who left IDFA earlier this year.
Carlin, who was a partner with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP until joining IDFA, has extensive experience in food and agriculture policy. He has represented numerous food and agricultural companies, cooperatives and trade associations before the House and Senate Agriculture Committees and at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
"Dave knows agriculture policy well, having served as assistant secretary for Congressional Relations under Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman," said Connie Tipton, IDFA president and CEO.
Carlin was an associate at Akin Gump when President Bill Clinton appointed him in 1995 to serve with Glickman at USDA. As head of the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations, Carlin served as the primary USDA liaison with Congress and the White House Office of Legislative Affairs. He returned to Akin Gump in 1998 to focus his practice on public law and policy matters.
But his interest in agricultural and public policy began on the family dairy farm.
"Dave grew up on a dairy farm founded by his grandfather in 1940. He reports that during the early days, they sold their milk to JoMar Dairy in Salina, but by the time he was active on the farm, they sold their milk to a Wichita coop," said Tipton. "They milked about 40 cows and had the top producing herd in Kansas in 1977 and 1978. His father, John William Carlin, ran the operation from 1962 until he became governor of the State of Kansas in 1979. "
In Washington, D.C., Carlin also is active in many community, civic and charitable organizations. He co-founded the Homeless Children's Tutorial Project, Inc., a volunteer program serving children in Washington, D.C. He also is chairman of the board of directors for Video/Action, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization and serves as a member of the board of trustees of the Capitol Hill Day School along with Tipton.
Carlin received a B.A. summa cum laude in political science and modern languages from Kansas State University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, where he served as co-chairman of the Harvard Law School Legislative Research Bureau. He is a member of the District of Columbia and Missouri bars.
The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), Washington, D.C., represents the nation's dairy manufacturing and marketing industries and their suppliers, with a membership of 550 companies within a $125-billion a year industry. IDFA is composed of three constituent organizations: the Milk Industry Foundation (MIF), the National Cheese Institute (NCI) and the International Ice Cream Association (IICA). IDFA's nearly 200 dairy processing members run nearly 600 plant operations, and range from large multi-national organizations to single-plant companies. Together they represent more than 85 percent of the milk, cultured products, cheese, ice cream and frozen desserts produced and marketed in the United States.

Bubba Starling is faced with a decision that would make any red-blooded American teenager jealous. The 18-year-old two-sport phenom must choose between quarterbacking the Nebraska Cornhuskers, or signing with the Kansas City Royals (receiving a reported $7.5 million signing bonus), and he has until August 15th to figure it out.
Throughout the process, Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini has carefully played his hand, supporting his prized recruit as he makes his decision. However, the tide seemed to turn Monday morning as noted ESPN baseball writer Peter Gammons unleashed this bombshell:
Bo Pellini going off on and threatening Bubba Starling is great news for the Royals.
If this morsel is true, it would likely turn the tide in the Starling sweepstakes. But, as it turns out, the news was as surprising to Pelini as it was to the rest of us. The coach quickly rebuked Gammons' report, addressing the tweet in this statement released by the university:
"As I discussed Saturday, Bubba Starling, his family and I are all on the same page, and have been throughout this entire process. I have a complete understanding of how this situation works, and from the outset we have supported Bubba and his family as they make a very difficult decision. All of our interactions as a staff with Bubba and his family have been nothing but supportive and have been very respectful from both sides. Any information contrary to that is not accurate. It is disappointing that media would comment on the situation without talking to any of the primary parties involved."
As for which side falls on the truth, it's impossible to say. But, in the end, the decision is Starlings' alone, and regardless of who is in the right in this petty matter, one party is sure to be left devastated in the ashes of what could have been.

I'm newbie to MIDP development. Could you tell how can I display a Jpeg image in a midlet without converting into png format?
I think you cannot... unless you write a jpeg decoder by yourself :-(
exept for the 3650 that have the multimedia API that can decode jpg pictures.
Thank you.
How can I decode using MMAPI for 3650? I appreciate if you can provide a sample.
With lates devices with newest SW versions you can display .jpg same way as .png pictures. This works currently at least in S40, and S60 devices.
I'm using Nokia 3650 (S60) . But I could not see the jpeg image. Do I need to update the software? Could you tell which software? and How to update?
Thanks in adnvance.
You can display the .jpg image in series 60 mobiles (at least in emulator i'm doing that) in the same way as we display png images. e.g
Image image = Image.createImage("/test.jpg");
and then in paint function
obviously image should be in class scope
I display JPG on 3650, 7210, 6610 and 3510i
I tried it on S60 and it works.
But on 6610 it definitely does not work.
(All real phones, no Emulators).
@zivgr: could you post a code snippet you used for 6610? I cant believe it; my 6610 is really new.
The fact only, that some phones don't support it should make you wonder whether you really want it... If you create an app that you would like to distribute, you cannot expect your users to go thru the difficulty of upgrading firmware.
And to give an indication on what phones it works you would need to try each and every phone's latest software versions and stuff... Difficult...
Nothing special just append the image to a Form/Canvas after create it...

According to new data from the U.S. Education Department, college enrollment fell in 2011 for the first time since 1996. As Inside Higher Ed explained, "it's possible that enrollments are leveling off (and shrinking slightly) now because the economy had begun rebounding enough by fall 2011 that some of those who had flocked to higher education during the recession began finding jobs. It's also possible that college tuition levels — which have continued to rise in recent years, driven in part by cutbacks in state support and other traditional sources of colleges' revenue — are pricing more students out of higher education." Four-year public colleges saw an encouraging increase in enrollment of 120,000.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Seattle Seahawks' eight-game exhibition winning streak remains intact.
But the confidence of the starting offense might have eroded in Friday night's 17-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers in front of a record announced crowd of 74,030 onlookers at Lambeau Field.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson scuffled in his dress rehearsal for the regular season, as he finished 11-of-17 passing for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.
Wilson's first interception was tipped by Green Bay linebacker Nick Perry. The deflection bounced off linebacker Robert Francois' hands and was corralled by cornerback Casey Hayward.
On his second interception, Wilson tried to force a ball into double coverage down the middle of the field on a pass intended for Doug Baldwin, but was picked off by safety Jerron McMillian.
"The good thing is we won the game," Wilson said. "The disappointing part is the turnovers, and I can't ever do that. I think that's my main focus. It's my fault, so I've got to fix those things."
While Wilson shouldered the blame, he was running for his life most of the evening.
Green Bay's defense brought constant pressure, sacking Wilson three times. Wilson finished with a 47.3 passer rating.
Head-scratching penalties once again plagued Seattle (3-0). In all, the Seahawks finished with 14 accepted penalties for 182 yards.
Seattle has 34 accepted penalties through its three exhibition games, or more than 11 per contest.
"We're over-trying," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said, when asked to explain his team's penalty issues. "We're trying too hard to make plays. That's the situation, whether it's the late hit, or whether it's trying to reach out and grab a guy so he doesn't tackle our returner. We're trying too hard. And we have to trust that we're okay doing the regular techniques."
J.R. Sweezy was one of the team's main offenders. Named the starting right guard after the Seahawks traded John Moffitt to Denver this week, Sweezy totaled three penalties on the first two series of the game — two holding calls and a personal foul penalty — and was replaced for a play by second-year pro Rishaw Johnson while he received an earful from Carroll on the sideline.
"I just wanted to let him know how serious it is when one guy makes a penalty," Carroll said. "It's not OK. And I just wanted to make sure, and get him right then. And he would have been pulled out in a regular-season game in the same fashion."
The Seahawks looked good on the opening drive, marching 71 yards on 12 plays. However, Seattle had to settle on a 27-yard Steven Hauschka field goal after Clay Matthews sacked Wilson on second and goal from Green Bay's 9-yard line.
Wilson finished 5-of-5 for 67 yards on the opening drive.
The Packers (1-2) answered on the ensuing drive, with Aaron Rodgers moving his team 52 yards on 11 plays, capped by a 38-yard field goal by Mason Crosby.
The Seahawks took the lead midway though the third quarter on another impressive run by rookie Christine Michael, who burst through a big hole up the middle and cut up the right sideline for a 43-yard score. Michael finished with
97 yards on 11 carries.
The Packers tied the score at 10 with an 11-play, 80-yard drive directed by backup quarterback Vince Young, who hit University of Washington product Jonathan Amosa for a 1-yard touchdown pass with 3:41 left in the third quarter.
But Seattle took the lead for good in the fourth quarter on receiver Stephen Williams' third touchdown of the exhibition season, another 42-yard reception from quarterback Brady Quinn.
Seattle's defense played well, holding the Packers to 75 yards rushing on 23 carries, or 3.3 per carry. Young led Green Bay with 39 yards rushing.
"They really had a hard time running the football inside," Carroll said. "I thought our guys played great. Their running game came on the two breakouts on the quarterback runs. Other than that, they really didn't do too much."
Carroll also got two impact players back on Seattle's already talented defense: outside linebacker Bruce Irvin and defensive tackle Tony McDaniel.
Irvin had been sidelined most of training camp because of a groin injury, but he managed to talk his way into an exhibition game for the first time this season after a good pregame workout.
Irvin was in for seven plays, finishing with a tackle for a 5-yard loss.
McDaniel had been penciled in as Seattle's starting defensive tackle next to Brandon Mebane to begin training camp, but a groin injury forced him to miss the first two games.
Against Green Bay, McDaniel finished with two tackles and a pass deflection.
"We really pushed the pocket so the quarterbacks didn't have any room to throw," McDaniel said. "We kind of got them out of the pocket, which made them uncomfortable, so I think that was a plus."

Scientists from all over the world are using the Sanford Lab at Homestake to help them answer questions about the universe, more specifically, dark matter. To detect the undetectable, scientists are working from the ground up.
"Either we will find it or we will figure out new constraints on its nature," said Simon Fiorucci, the LUX science coordinator.
Construction of an underground experiment to find dark matter began 3-years-ago, at lab nearly a mile underground.
"They are trying to understand more about what's going on in the universe," said lab supervisor Connie Giroux.
As with the universe, dark matter is sort of a mystery. Scientists know it makes up 23% of the universe but without the help of gravity it's hard to find.
"If we find it, if we can actually find any direction of it, then we have a lot more handle on its actual nature and its properties," said Fiorucci. "And without that there's not much more we can do but say it exists but we'd really like to say a lot more."
Scientists working on the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment are now a step closer to finding dark matter. They've filled their detector with xenon, a gas they've cooled to its liquid state. The detector sits inside a 72,000 gallon tank.
"We have to surround our detector with lots of shielding, in our case we use a large tank of ultra pure water to shield the detector," said Dan McKinsey, assistant professor at Yale University. "The other thing we need to do is go deep underground because a lot of the radioactivity at the surface comes from cosmic rays."
Now that the xenon is inside the detector, scientists will circulate it, purify it inside the detector for a few weeks and then start taking dark matter data for a year. Scientists will have to analyze and verify the data. But if all goes well, this could be the team that cracks a universal mystery.
And when LUX is done, there will be more research ahead.
"I think the main focus right now is what comes after LUX," said McKinsey. "We have a design that we're building to how we would build the next generation of dark matter experiments."
The future experiments will use the same water tank in the same lab to produce the same results but on a much larger scale.
"Instead of having 350 kg of Xenon we would have 7,000 kg or 7 tons," said McKinsey.
Scientists say it's all in the hopes of bringing the dark side of dark matter to light. The current LUX experiment is expected to wrap-up in 2015.

The city has received its first installment of property taxes, a total of $1,060,344.
"We have received 40 percent of the extension on the general levy," City Finance Director Merle Hollman said.
In addition to the general levy, the city received tax increment finance funds. The Downtown TIF received $77,878, about 33 percent of the expected full total of $234,00; The Homestead TIF received $80; and the Industrial Park TIF — also known as the West Side TIF, received $368. The East Side TIF did not receive any funds.
"We had a multiplier this year of 1, but to get that, the Supervisor of Assessments adjusted the (Equalized Assessed Valuations) by about negative 6 percent," Hollman said. "We were told the EAV went down, but it went down because they adjusted it by negative 6 percent."
According to the most recent audit of city funds, property taxes for general corporate amount to a total of 6 percent of the city revenues including TIF funds and employee benefit levies. Franchise tax receipts, which is the cable television tax, is 1 percent of the total revenues. The Hotel/motel tax receipts are 7 percent of the budget; public service tax receipts — which includes the diesel tax, food and beverage tax, state income taxes, road and bridge taxes, telecommunications surcharge and personal property replacement taxes — are 18 percent of the revenues. The audit states that 54 percent of the city revenues are from sales taxes; 7 percent from hotel/motel taxes and 18 percent public service taxes coming to a total of 79 percent.
Hollmann stated during the audit year the diesel tax receipts were at $640,000; the food and beverage tax receipts were $639,000; state income tax receipts were at $1.294 million; the road and bridge taxes were $137,000; telecommunications surcharge was $226,000; and the personal property replacement tax receipts were $163,000.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The family of cartoonist Chester Gould has donated a collection of Gould's original Dick Tracy comic strips and related materials to a cartoon library and museum in Ohio
Gould died in 1985. He wrote and drew the Dick Tracy newspaper comic strips from 1931 until retiring in 1977. His daughter and two grandchildren gave a collection of his work to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at Ohio State University.
Ohio State says the collection consists of more than 850 original Dick Tracy comic strips along with 64 original Sunday strips. Highlights include the original art for the first 30 days of the strip and Gould's drawing board on which he created the comic strip.
The collection will be catalogued and made available to researchers in the coming months.

Linn, Bearcats take down Owen to stay perfect in WHC
Tue. March 26, 2013 at 10:09 p.m. | By From staff reports

Despite snow falling on the ground and temperatures dipping down into the mid- to low-30's, Hendersonville was one of the few teams Tuesday afternoon that kept its originally scheduled game.
It was a good thing the Bearcats did, as they held off visiting Owen, 5-2, for another conference win at Green Meadows's The Den.
Sam Linn (5-0), who tried to keep warm near a Propane heater in the dugout when he wasn't pitching, went the distance and gave up Owen's two runs on five hits. He struck out eight and gave up one walk to keep Hendersonville (6-2, 5-0) undefeated in the Western Highlands Conference.
Powered by their four-run second inning, the Bearcats got out to a 4-0 start over the Warhorses and never trailed. HHS catcher Justin Sparks' courtesy runner Landon Blythe scored first on an Owen overthrow error, and Henry Clements scored next on another error.
On another error to third base, Linn's courtesy runner Luc Rodriguez scored and Shawn Rogers finished up the scoring run when Bradley Schmidt grounded out to second and Sparks barely missed getting a grand slam as Owen's centerfielder caught the ball at the top of the fence.
Owen responded with one hit in each of the second and third innings but Hendersonville capped things off with a run in the fifth. Derrik Doyle drew a one-out walk then advanced to second base when Sparks struck out. Clements singled to left field, scoring Doyle from second.
Sparks (1-for-3) and Clements (1-for-2, walk, RBI, run scored) were responsible for Hendersonville's two hits. The Bearcats finished with two errors to Owen's three.
Next up for Hendersonville is another home game at The Den, Thursday against East Henderson at 4 p.m.

With a new athletics director set to take over the Forty Acres and change in the air, Texas' basketball coach needs a strong season if he hopes to stick around.
The Texas Longhorns earned a No. 11 seed in the 2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament, where they will face No. 6 seed Cincinnati.
The Longhorns are back in action vs. Sam Houston State after two disappointing losses in New Jersey.
In Part 1 of this comprehensive preview of the Texas Longhorns men's basketball 2011-12 season, Burnt Orange Nation takes a look at the four freshman guards arriving in Austin this winter.
"Perhaps the most GQ-ready look was found on Tristan Thompson, the fourth player selected, also by the Cavaliers. The forward from the University of Texas wore a custom charcoal suit by Paper Brown Bag, a Harlem label, that called to mind a very fashionable Pee-wee Herman with tapered pants and a shrunken jacket. Thompson, 20, comes to the league with a taste for Ferragamo, YSL and Comme des Garçons. 'I definitely like a European look, pride myself on the European style,' he said."

Walker County Springfest, taking place Tuesday through Saturday at the old airport, will include those activities and many more, according to organizers of the event.
Tom Pearson, founder of Walker County Springfest, said this will be the largest event he has produced.
"Jasper is where we started our fairs a few years ago," he said. "We weren't here last year, so we wanted to come back with the biggest and best event we could do."
The event will include what Pearson calls an "ultimate fair" with more than 25 rides as well as games and 10 food vendors. There will also be a midway circus with two shows nightly, 7:30 and 9 p.m. The circus includes several former Ringling Brothers performers as well as a Spiderman aerial stunt show and a motorcycle daredevil globe of death. A sideshow will also be a feature of the Walker County Springfest, and Pearson said it would include the world's smallest horse and largest pig, among others attractions.
Southeastern Pro Wrestling will bring its athletes to battle on the midway with shows at 7:30 on Friday night and 7 p.m. Saturday. Wrestlers will include "Action" Mike Jackson, Johnny Swinger, Ultimate Dragon, Bubba Cagle and many more. The Saturday night wrestling show will include Jasper's first ever cage match.
Gate admission is $2 per person with children under 3 admitted for free. On Tuesday and Wednesday, gate admission is buy one, get one free. Pearson said gate admission is good for midway attractions such as the circus and professional wrestling but additional tickets or armbands must be purchased for rides. There is no charge for parking and gates open at 6 p.m. each day.
"We are happy to be back in Walker County, and we promise to have a family-friendly show that people will love," Pearson said.

23Is Miley Cyrus an Irresponsible Pet Owner?
From Tish Cyrus's super fancy personal blog:
…As for Miley, its been a really tough week. As you all know her beloved baby girl Lila passed away. Everyone has been so precious and so supportive of her and I love you all so much for that. Miley loved Lila more than anyone can imagine. I know some people were saying its JUST a dog, but to Miley she was so much more. In Miley's life, as you can imagine, its hard to let many people into your tight circle of family and friends. Anytime, that Miley is sad or having a hard day, Lila was her angel. The one that always loved her unconditionally no matter what was going on in her life at that time. She would always just curl up in bed with Lila for a few hours and then everything would always feel better! She always made me feel better too. I gave her the nickname Lila Sue Pumpernickel! lol I have no idea where that come from, but it stuck!
The way that Lila was taken from her was beyond terrible. Sometimes things happen that we just cant understand. Miley still isn't ready to talk about it, but I thought you guys should know what happened.
For some unknown reason, Ziggy…….. grabbed Lila. Not really sure if she was playing or what? She grabbed her in just the wrong spot and Lila didn't survive…………. Please understand that Miley isn't ready to talk about this and we dont think Ziggy is a mean dog…….. We took Ziggy to SPOT dog rescue and they found her a new home with no other pets or children just in case it wasn't a fluke. So not only did Miley lose Lila, she feels she lost Ziggy as well.
So, OK. I have a story for you guys. Once there was this girl I knew who had three dogs and two cats, among other animals. And something similar happened, where one of the larger dogs attacked the smaller dog and beat it up pretty good. The little dog had to go to the vet and get stitches and anti-inflammatory medications and everything, and then a few months later, one of the bigger (more "aggressive-breed") dogs, went and attacked the small dog again. No one could figure out why, as the dogs had shared a house for their entire lives so far, but some were willing to venture a guess at jealousy over their master. See, the small dog could easily climb into bed with its master, whereas the two larger dogs could not. Jealousy? Maybe. Too many damn animals in the house? F-cking definitely. Well, after the little doggie had its ear stitched back on for the second time, one of the larger two dogs decided that it was high time to do the little doggie in, and the larger breed dog took a big old chomp out of little dog. Little dog's major internal organs were all perforated, and little dog died a slow, uncomfortable death in the vet's office while the doctor tried to save him.
You know, I'm not saying that I don't feel bad for Miley, because I do—oh my gosh, I do. Ultimately, it's not like she was the one who forced her little dog into the mouth of her bigger dog. But you know what? When you have *that many* animals, you run the risk of something like this happening, and how can you not be aware of it? Or take precautions to not have that happen like, I don't know, not have so many damn dogs? I'm not saying that Miley's an irresponsible pet owner, but shit like this happens and the reality of the situation is that it happens more often than people want to admit.
Honestly, where does the fault really lie?
December 18, 2012 at 6:30 am by Sarah
23 Responses to "Is Miley Cyrus an Irresponsible Pet Owner?"
I don't think it's somehow Miley's fault for having so many animals and not "taking precautions." Things like this happen so suddenly and so randomly that there's literally no way you could possibly foresee it. Some dogs live together their whole lives and never have an issue with each other. Other dogs that have lived together their whole lives in a friendly way will suddenly get into a fight for no apparent reason. *Something* will set them off, and you don't know what it is. If there was no history of such behavior in her dogs before, how could she be aware of it? It reminds me of a fairly recent news story in which a family dog that had been perfectly well-behaved and friendly and cuddly for years suddenly killed the family's new baby. That was just one dog (so you can't blame "having too many animals"), and there was no way for the parents to know it would happen, because nothing in the dog's previous behavior suggested it.
As for the story of that girl you know, *she* should have known that something like that would happen, because the small dog had already been attacked a couple of times. THAT's being irresponsible.
It was mentioned in another article that when Miley had a bad day, she'd crawl in bed with Lila for hours until she felt better. Lila was her "feel better" bed buddy dog. You KNOW Ziggy wouldn't be allowed to do that.
My boyfriend's dog is miffed because only the CAT is allowed in bed and the cat is allowed out by herself without a leash.
It's a situation. Ziggy's jaw structure makes it so that if he just bit without much pressure at all – it would be too much pressure for a little doggie like Lila.
Dogs are not 100% predictable. I wouldn't leave dogs with a baby – unattended nor would I leave a Pittbull or a Bull dog with a 3-4 lb. dog – unattended. But, I'd NEVER want to own a pack of dogs. I don't have 3 hours a day to walk, feed, play and train dogs and I don't have the money to hire someone to take care of them either! I sure don't want to clean my house daily!
I'm being catty….meow.
I really don't like Miley..at all, but I can't blame her for this. She's very immature and didn't realize that in a large group of dogs this can happen. She obviously has a big dog heart and can be commended for adoption as aposed to purchase. Hopefully a lesson was learned. Now, if she can be taught to quit grabbing her junk on stage..we'll talk.
I wonder what kind of dog Ziggy was? Sometimes bigger dogs don't understand they can't play with smaller ones they same way they'd play with ones their own size and shit happens. That said, I think it's pretty damn naive of her to not have realised having SO MANY dogs could result in this kind of problem. Dogs need so much time and training and you can't just fill a house with them and think everything is going to be fine.
I'm glad she didn't get Ziggy put down though, which I think would be the reaction of a lot of people.
i do think having too many animals that are not the same or similar breed can be problematic, honestly she should have castrated the bigger dog, thats what i did and know my dog is such a teddy bear
Do we know the dog wasn't neutered? She has been adopting these dogs, and most shelters/adoption agencies these days automatically neuter/spay the animals for you.
agreed – if Ziggy was adopted, he would have been neutered before she took him home.
i dont know that dog looks like the type you buy but whatever if u prefer a dog too much jealousy is goin to happen so in a way it is her fault
I do find it odd that people are always so eager to put down people for the way they care for and raise their pets. If you allow your dog or cat to produce offspring.. Holy Shit! You'd think you were Hitler! And if someone has more than one or two pets, than you're considered a hoarder, or it's your own fault when something happens between the pets. People seem to forget that a lot of people see their pets as children. And not, like, someone can't have a child so they develop a mental disorder and start collecting pets to fill a whole. No, I'm talking about, people (like myself) straight up feel the same responsibility and love towards and animal as they do a human child.
I know this will sound outrageously stupid to some people, but these really are similar topics. What is the difference between a person having four dogs, and a person having four children? Apparently, people who have four dogs are somehow responsible for what happens to their pets if they don't get along, or if there are behavior issues, because they shouldn't have so many animals. But, if a person has four children, and one of them has many bad behaviors toward a sibling, it's because something is wrong with the child? It's pretty much the same damn thing.
Be thankful Miley is a responsible enough person to care for that many animals. You definitely can't say the same for most individuals her age. What happened is absolutely awful! I have four of my own dogs, all large. I have the utmost respect and sympathy for her because of her situation. Honestly, when you see animals the way her and I do, they really are your children. Have respect for someone that's going through something so traumatic.
Sorry, most of the time when a child has behavioral problems, it usually has a lot to do with bad, indifferent, or ignorant parenting.
WTF is wrong with you? I get it, you write for a gossip blog but gossip/snark/whatever is one thing, insinuating that it is this poor kids fault that her dog died is quite another. Have you got a heart in there someone? Fuck Sarah go ask someone to give you a hug, I think you need one.
The fact is we don't know how dogs think, all we do know is that their is a heirarchy, with Alphas etc. It could well be that the top dog in the pack saw this little twerp who was probably way down the pecking order, as having priveleges beyond their ranking & decided to take her down. It would all make sense to the top dog involved. I once saw this thing on tv about these monkeys who lived somewhere with a lot of snow, but there were these thermal pools, and only the high-ranking female and her offspring were allowed luxuriate in these while the 'peasant' monkeys were literally freezing their paws off six inches away
When I was in college (UCB), one day a dog started following me around and waiting for me outside every class. Turns out she was after the chicken salad in my backpack. I ended up taking her home. She was a wolf mix and I named her Heike.
Fast forward about 15 years. She got pneumonia twice in one winter, and never quite regained her energy. She spent a lot of time in the house, but I still put her out in the garage when we left for awhile. One summer afternoon she was laying in the hallway and when I told her she had to go to the garage she didn't get up. I took her by the collar and she SNAPPED at me.
My mom was visiting at the time, and the incident really freaked her out, especially since my son was 3yo at the time. It's not something I would have made a big deal of since living with her had always meant having my dominance challenged (not that she had ever snapped at me before). But my mom finally made me see that Heike had to go. I tried and tried to figure out how to make things work (could she be trained? probably not. And even if she had been, could I have ever felt like my son was safe near her? No.). I had to take her to the vet and have her put to sleep. Even the vet felt it was the best choice. But I still feel terrible about it ten years later.
I have always thought Miley was kind of a dipshit, but I've never doubted her true love for dogs. I really feel for what she went through.
That's a very sad story :~(
It brought me back to when I was in hospital having my first child, one of my beloved dogs got out and bit a child on the street. Before I came home from hospital my lovely black lab Fluke had been put to sleep, the police had been involved and with him biting a child, and me bringing home a new baby, it was out of my hands. I never got to say goodbye but I will never forget him, so I know how you feel.
miley is a piece of trash. skank whore
Miley probably mistreated her pet possum back when she was with kinfolk in the hills of the grande old south.
Women are cheating all over the place, nowadays! (Leann Rimes/Cibrian, Coco/IceT, Kristen Stewart, Suzy Favor Hamilton the Olympian & Vegas call girl, Rita Ora/Rob Kardashian, Petraeus women).
My latest book, "I Steal Wives: A serial adulterer reveals the REAL reasons more and more 'happily married' women are cheating" is a powerful look at this EXPLOSIVE topic of female infidelity. And the REAL reasons aren't the typical blather you hear on talk-TV or read in the SECOND-HAND information of some psychologist's self-help book. It's now in the top 1% of books selling on Amazon!
The book is the FIRST BOOK EVER WRITTEN on female infidelity from the FIRST-HAND, insider experience of a serial adulterer, who cheated with the wives/girlfriends of over 25 married men (and a few women), and who also happens to be a therapist (never cheated with clients)! "I Steal Wives" is a salacious, self-deprecating, at times funny, and penetratingly insightful look into what is now the very cutting-edge of relationships.
It's the relationship version of "How to Secure Your House, as told by a professional burglar!" This is no joke, the raw truths of "I Steal Wives" will forever change how you do relationships and understand women, especially if you are one!
Check it out now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble!! It's selling FAST!
I think the bottom line here is that even though Miley clearly loves dogs, she doesn't know much about them at all. She gets a new dog every few months (how many in 2012 alone?) that means she gets a new pet before the other even has a chance to settle in and Miley doesn't have the chance to learn about the dog's behavior and habits. Mistakes like that are what cause accidents like the one you see here. Additionally, she adopts very young dogs for the most part and all of her current dogs are 2 years or less. This likely means that non of her dogs are fully matured and generally you see problems with dogs "suddenly" becoming more dominant or aggressive with one another when they reach maturity. Much like young teens becoming more hostile when they hit puberty, dogs do the same thing and it isn't until they are 2-3 (and for some breeds it takes longer) that the dog is mature. She'll probably continue to see problems like this until she stops being so impulsive and takes the time to really connect with her dogs and evaluate if adding another pet is good for the whole "family" instead of just something that will make her feel good in the short run.

Question: Do you remember when performing changed from a hobby to when you knew it was going to be your career?
Question: Did you end up taking that role? Did you get to go on…
Question: What was that like for you, stepping into the world of musical theatre?
08 Mar 2013
Photo by Joan Marcus
Settle: To be honest with you, I really am not a musical theatre performer. I'm more an R&B singer and have been doing that my whole life. My mother is — well, was — also an R&B singer, in New Zealand — she's a native of New Zealand — and did a lot of Dusty Springfield as well, stuff like that, and it kind of passed on in our family because it's a cultural thing, because all of us sing. But, I guess for me, I got into musical theatre really late in the game because I didn't really know you could do it because I was too busy wanting to sing backup or doing studio work singing chorus stuff, and singing backup for Gladys Knight in Vegas — because I was living in Vegas for a while, very briefly. The funny thing was that I remember reading they had an audition for Hairspray, and I wanted to be one of the Dynamites. [Laughs.] That's how clue-free I was — just so you know. I went into an open call in Los Angeles and went, "I'm going to come out being a Dynamite because I'm going to blow this out of the water! I couldn't be more black, trust and believe." [Laughs.] And, I walked in there and came out — eight auditions later — being the standby for Tracy Turnblad. And, I thought, "What is going on?" … All the way to the first day of rehearsals, I figured they had 24 hours to fire me and say this is a joke because I don't get it, but if you get it, then I'm good. [Laughs.] That was the last person I wanted to play.
Settle: I did! I went on quite frequently, and finally the girl that I was the standby for — she was transferred to New York, and then I just took over her spot. That was six months in, and I finished out the tour.
Settle: It was scary because it was my very, very first big thing, and I didn't know how to live in that world. I mean, I'd done bits and pieces of musical theatre, which was really like R&B stuff, in Vegas, but it was never the real thing. I went from nothing to everything, and I didn't handle it very well and ended up getting really sick. And, once the show ended, I had to leave the business for a few years and kind of get myself back together and in order.
Question: Do you remember when performing changed from a hobby to when you knew it was going to be your career?
Question: Did you end up taking that role? Did you get to go on…
Question: What was that like for you, stepping into the world of musical theatre?
I did that for a couple years, and I finally saw that they were doing some production of South Pacific somewhere — in Texas or something — and I was like, "Maybe I'll just go do that real quick to see if I still have anything, and I found out that it was the Lincoln Center production," and that was it. I got called in, and came back.

Question: What was it like for you coming back?
Settle: It was scary. It was really, really, really, really scary — to the point where I had to pull the director aside and said, "I can't do this. I can't come back to this." I had forgotten how different the world is — the two different worlds are… From being a member of IATSE to being a member of Actors' Equity — they're so completely different. We work together towards the same goal, but the mindset is completely different, and I didn't know if I could do it.
Question: What was it like for you getting to Broadway with Priscilla?
Settle: I was scared because I wasn't originally a fan of this city. I mean, I was raised on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean… You walk off the plane in Hawaii, you get a lei and a hug — completely different — but, you know, I could live in that world and say, "I hate that, I hate that, I hate that." Or, I could just roll with it and be me. I just do that, hopefully… [Laughs.]
Question: Last question. How has audience reaction been to this show so far?
Settle: I think it's been fantastic. I think a lot of them were expecting something completely different, and, you know, by the time intermission hits, they're all looking at each other going, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening!" [Laughs.] The music that we're singing — it's like a rock concert. It's a dream… We have old-school people in the pit… We have serious rockers in the house, and it's fun to have them a part of our show.

I've got two of them for Game 4, should the Dodgers make it through the playoffs, which begin with today's opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. I'm talking about some pretty good seats too. Field level, third base side. Close enough to hear the pop of the catcher's mitt.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
So why the early Christmas?
I'll tell you why. I've had a 10-game portion of a season ticket plan for several years, and I love going to the ballpark. I like most of the Dodgers too. But I've got problems with the Dodgers' biggest star, who was suspended for much of the season for having a little something extra in his Cheerios, and I can't bring myself to pay good money for the privilege of watching a fraud.
Yeah, I'm talking about Manny Ramirez.
I still can't get over the number of fans who gave him a pass this year. They'd wear their Manny dreadlocks, looking ridiculous, by the way. They'd sit out there in Mannywood so they could be close enough to call his name.
Wake up, folks, and take a look at yourselves.
Do you really think Ramirez gives a fig about his fans? Ask that question in Boston, where Ramirez got run out of town after dogging it and letting his team down.
So here I am with World Series tickets in my hand and a wave of hysteria sweeping the city. I'm sorry for being the cockroach in the punch bowl, but I can't bring myself to join the party. The only thing that could get me to the ballpark in the post-season would be if Manager Joe Torre were to staple Manny's dreadlocks to the dugout wall and play Juan Pierre in his place. I'd rather lose with a scrappy singles hitter like Pierre than win with a loafing slugger like Ramirez.
The scandal was bad enough, with Major League Baseball revealing early in the season that Ramirez had tested positive for a female fertility drug that has been used by athletes to juice their testosterone production after steroid use.
But you'd think a guy who held out for $45 million over two seasons, and then got suspended for 50 games just when this looked like a magical season, would bend over backward to earn the mercy and respect of teammates and fans.
Not Manny.
He served up a halfhearted apology and no real explanation as to what happened -- "Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me."
Blaming it on the doctor was as hollow as Ramirez's bat has been since he came back. Maybe he's just not the same player without his "fertility medication."
But it gets worse. Ramirez actually said he expected the forgiveness of fans. And what did he do to earn it?
He played like he didn't care.
Offense? Average. For the year he's had a meager 63 runs batted in and 19 homers. Defense? A Harris Ranch cow could do as well out there.

This is my second recipe as a member of the The Food Matters Project. Last week, I just did not have enough time to track down my ingredients but this week, normalcy returns and I managed to get everything although, I was one orange short. I had no vision what this would like or taste like and I admit, I was happily surprised. I am not sure why I am surprised since Marc Bittman has not steered me wrong and I trust in his recipes, especially with the choices he suggests.
Dominica of Wine Food Love chose Mark Bittman's Seared Bean Sprouts with Beef and Sesame Orange Sauce. You can find the recipe at Wine Food Love.
I made this dish and served it on soba noodles which was a good mix. Alternatives are rice or quinoa and I think all three would be yummy. I followed this recipe almost exactly. I was short that orange so I did not have as much zest and I added some juice from the container to the fresh orange juice to make enough for cooking. The citrus flavor turned out to come through clearly and we like that. The honey gave it very slight sweet taste and all the flavors blended beautifully. This is a winning recipe.
To see what others did with this recipe, check out the Food Matters Project.
