On Bob Grant's radio show, Ann Coulter suggested that President-elect Barack Obama's "civilian national security force" would lead to "a lot more Waco raids, Elian Gonzalez snatchings." In fact, Obama's comments about the necessity of a "civilian national security force" referred to expanding the Foreign Service, AmeriCorps, and the Peace Corps.
Sean Hannity asserted that Barack Obama's new White House chief of staff, Rep. Rahm Emanuel, is "one of the hardest left-wing ... radicals" and stated that the choice of Emanuel shows that Obama is "hard, hard left." But contrary to Hannity's assertion, a study using every non-unanimous vote cast in the House in 2007 to determine relative ideology placed Emanuel in a tie for the ranking of 126th most liberal Democratic congressman, and news reports have labeled Emanuel as "a centrist," who has "worked at good relations with Republicans."
Beyond the echelon of widely known conservative radio hosts with national audiences lies a vast network of lesser-known syndicated and regional radio hosts who have become key components of an echo chamber for conservative talking points and falsehoods. Like their better-known counterparts, these syndicated and regional radio hosts have played active roles this election season in promoting falsehoods and smears in an all-out effort to foment hate and distrust among their listeners for President-elect Barack Obama. While the hosts vary in the degree of vitriol they spew and in their ratio of rebuttable falsehoods to unbridled smears, Media Matters for America and Colorado Media Matters have identified common themes that many, if not all, have promoted over the past year.
President Bush was re-elected in 2004 with 286 electoral votes, the smallest popular-vote margin since 1976 (excluding the 2000 election) and the lowest electoral vote count for an incumbent president's re-election since 1916. Nevertheless, many in the media were quick to echo Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion that "the nation" gave Bush "a mandate." It remains to be seen whether the media will apply the same standard in assessing the results of the 2008 election.
Media critics have recently postulated that while Matt Drudge may have once set the media's agenda, his influence has waned and his efforts to inject himself in the media's coverage of the presidential election have largely fallen flat. This election season, Drudge has posted a long series of items that were false on their face or turned out to be false, making the strong case that, if his influence is not in fact waning, it should be.
Radio host Bill Cunningham compared Sen. Barack Obama to dictators such as Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, and Adolf Hitler, and also stated: "Obama now is poised ... to seize power in America, and I hope to be a bloodless coup."
While discussing the death of Sen. Barack Obama's grandmother, Michael Savage again revived widely debunked "rumors" about Obama's "birth certificate not being valid."
Andrea Mitchell said it was "a great irony, a sad irony, for John McCain" that Hispanic voters are "shifting to Barack Obama" even though McCain "lost his Republican base ... partly on supporting immigration reform." But Mitchell did not note that McCain reversed his position on immigration reform, aligning himself more closely with the GOP base, or that McCain stated that he would not support his own reform bill if it came up for a vote in the Senate.
Rush Limbaugh played an audio clip "montage" from Charlie Rose's interview of Tom Brokaw, in which Limbaugh asserted that Rose and Brokaw were "trying to figure out who Obama is." In fact, Limbaugh heavily edited the clip, at one point falsely suggesting that Brokaw expressed the opinion that "there's a lot about him [Obama] that we don't know," when in fact Brokaw attributed that assertion to "conservative commentators."
The Washington Post distorted a quote by Sen. Barack Obama in reporting that Sen. John McCain "ma[de] fun of something Obama had told a reporter, 'The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster.' " In fact, Obama said during a January 2008 interview: "The only thing that I've said, with a respect to coal -- I haven't been some coal booster -- what I have said is that, for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter, as opposed to saying, if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it. You know, that I think is the right approach."
The Washington Times falsely suggested that Gov. Bill Richardson said Sen. Barack Obama would raise taxes on Americans making more than $120,000, stating that Sen. John McCain "continued to hammer the Democrat over his plan to tax Americans making more than $250,000 -- a number that has crept down, first to $200,000, then to $150,000 and finally to $120,000." In fact, the number hasn't "crept down," and during the interview to which the Times was referring, Richardson said that under Obama's plan for "those in the middle class, anybody under $250,000, there is no tax increase."
The New York Times quoted McCain spokesman Jeff Sadosky saying: "Barack Obama's plans to raise taxes on small businesses and his attacks on Midwestern family farmers have turned off rural voters." But the Times did not point out that less than 2 percent of taxpayers declaring small business income would see a tax increase in 2009 under Obama's plan, according to estimates by the Tax Policy Center.
A Washington Times article stated that Sen. John McCain "drew fresh attention this week to Mr. [Barack] Obama's friendship with Rashid Khalidi" regarding "a 2003 party in Chicago honoring Mr. Khalidi where Mr. Obama gives a speech." But it did not note McCain's own reported "connection to Khalidi": His role as chairman of an organization that awarded a $448,873 grant to an organization Khalidi co-founded.
Fox News repeatedly allowed Dick Morris to solicit donations for a conservative political action committee to fund an ad attacking Sen. Barack Obama.

November 28, 2014
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Democrats have passed a bill that would provide overtime pay, meal breaks and other labor protections for domestic workers in California.
Lawmakers in the Assembly passed AB241 by Democratic Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San Francisco on a 41-24 vote Wednesday. Ammiano said the bill - called the Domestic Workers of Bill of Rights - seeks to give housekeepers, nannies and caregivers fair pay and safe working conditions.
It now moves to the Senate.
Ammiano says the bill provides "a basic labor guarantee" to workers who care for children, the disabled and the elderly.
Republican Assemblyman Brian Jones of Santee says the bill would make in-home help unaffordable for all but the wealthy. Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a similar bill last year citing the financial effects on families.

Back in 1996, every mutton-chopped songwriter with a rhyming dictionary wanted to be Jay Farrar. These days, most of them would be happy if Farrar would just be himself and go back to rocking like Neil Young's bastard son. After two mysterious solo albums filled with abstract instrumentals and Eastern tunings, Farrar has returned to the Son Volt moniker to reward his faithful, and Okemah and the Melody of Riot sees Farrar stepping back into the cowpunk dust storm Jeff Tweedy helped him kick up 15 years ago in Uncle Tupelo. The anti-Bush anthem "Jet Pilot" rewrites Gil Scott Heron with a Crazy Horse-stomp, while the chorus of "Atmosphere" reaches for the melodic heavens occupied by Farrar's old buddies the Jayhawks. While his new band doesn't quite have the chemistry of his Trace-era lineup, he did pick some good ringers, borrowing from the bands of fellow songwriters Ryan Adams and Richard Buckner. Farrar's sheepish stage presence might fool some fans, but Okemah is a fine reminder that he can still roar like a lion.

Sensex 28334.63 267.07 0.95%
Nifty 8477.35 75.45 0.9%
The Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has declared higher bonus rates for the 2011-12 year under seven of its With Profit Plans and Loyalty Additions under seven other plans, the countrys largest insurer announced on Friday at a press briefing in Mumbai on the occasion of its 55th anniversary celebrations.
The bonus was declared in seven plans, namely, Jeevan Anand, Jeevan Tarang, Jeevan Madhur, Child Future Plan, Jeevan Shree I, Jeevan Bharati I and Jeevan Pramukh, all in the range of Rs. 1 Rs. 6 per thousand sum assured.
Out of a net actuarial surplus of Rs 227.16 billion, which rose 10% from a year ago, bonus has been allocated to participating policyholders to the tune of Rs 215.8 billion versus Rs 195.57 billion the year ago.
LICs market share in terms of number of policies stood at 78.41% and that in terms of premium stood at 72.43% as on July 31, 2011.
Talking on growth in premium income, S. Roy Chowdhury, Executive Director (Marketing), said that there has been negative growth so far this year as no new products like Market Plus were introduced.
Market Plus contributed to the premiums last year and so far we have not introduced a product like Market Plus which is why there is negative growth," he said.
However, the situation was expected to improve from hereon, as LIC is confident of achieving its targeted premium income of Rs 540 billion in FY12. The insurers income from premium stood at Rs 480 billion last fiscal.
LIC is expected to introduce new products shortly, which would aid the growth in its premiums.
LICs investment in equity markets in the last fiscal year was approximately Rs 2 trillion. This year, the company believes the investment should be above that, said Vipin Anand, Executive Director (Corporate Communications).
When asked about the breakup of the targeted investment, Anand said it was not possible to provide a breakup as it depends on the developments in the market and the opportunities available. It also depends on when the flow of premium comes at a particular time, he said.
Among its existing policies, Jeevan Saral, Jeevan Anand, Jeevan Tarang and Endowment Plus were the popular ones. All the popular products have higher bonuses this year which will hopefully rise further, said Anand.
When It's About Money: Don't just save for your child's education

Many a times parents overlook other goals as they are too busy focusing on just one goal, that is on their child's education. They are too emotionally involved in achieving this particular goal that they forget planning for their retirement and saving for other emergencies.

Lamar County reaps benefits from shelter
Officials in the only county thusfar in Mississippi to use federal dollars to build an emergency shelter call the facility a "great asset" to their community.
Lamar County administrator Chuck Bennettt said the shelter, completed early in 2012, even came in a million dollars under budget.
"We turned it down at first," Bennett said, "because the rules were then that you couldn't use it for anything else.

With nine months left until the football players of the class of 2015 sign with their designated programs throughout the nation, Oregon is poised to step up their recruiting game another notch. This is the year that the Ducks must sign the most highly touted talent in the history of the program. With the recent verbal commitment from the top all-purpose back, Taj Griffin, the foundation of this class is established. Now that Oregon has the platinum-talent, Georgia-native running back, the Ducks can focus on a premium quarterback. The future offensive general to replace Marcus Mariota may be a key position for Coach Helfriech to aim his sights on and build a top-10 recruiting class.
A few days ago, I was attempting to run the family dog while listening to my favorite playlist on my phone. My snail's pace was boosted a bit by a particular song that I had cranked up, which began filling my head.
The beat, the lyrics, the rhythm, the melody, the voice, the 80's. Some of the most inspirational music can be found in my 80's library of mega-hits.
This specific song by Bonnie Tyler put my legs into auto pilot, but had my mind wandering to the green turf of Autzen Stadium. "Holding Out For a Hero" had me mesmerized with thoughts of the Oregon Ducks and the need for a stellar recruiting class.
"He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be fresh from the fight, I need a hero," describes exactly what Duck football fans are asking for with the likes of Griffin as the newest member of strength and speed. How many players on the Oregon roster can be described this way? How many future recruits finding themselves in Eugene will be summed up in a powerful, lyrical package such as the one Tyler belted out as only she can?
Will one of the heroes be Mariota's future replacement with the likes of Kyler Murray from Allen, Texas? The dual-threat signal caller is unanimously a top-five quarterback in the nation who has Texas A&M at the top of his list, but may be swayed toward Oregon and their high-octane offense that fits Murray's style perfectly. His recent, unofficial visit to Eugene may have been the answer he needed to make an informed decision.
Murray is an elite quarterback at the high school level and viewed as a dual-threat. In his junior year he threw for more than 3,600 yards and 46 touchdowns — not unlike an NFL QB – and he also ran for over 1,200 yards and 19 more scores like a true running back. If he matches those numbers his senior year, he'll have nearly 10,000 passing yards and 100 TD's in his high school career.
Oh wait! He can run too! He will push 4,000 rushing yards and 70 touchdowns on the ground in three years starting by merely matching his junior stats, as a senior. He has great pocket presence, accuracy and decision-making. His only draw-back could be his size at 5-foot-11-inches and 170 pounds. He can still fill out his frame during his final year of high school and eventually get the best trainers at Oregon to bulk him up, if necessary.
Let me be the first to discourage Murray on becoming an Aggie. Let's look at the competition at Texas A&M compared to Oregon. A&M lost Johnny Manziel this offseason; however, there are several backups that were chomping at the bit in eagerness for him to leave.
The 2012 class brought in Matt Davis who transferred to Tyler Junior College when he felt uneasy about backing up Manziel for the 2013 season. There were two signal callers in 2013 brought to play at the home of the 12th man – former Texas player of the year, Kenny Hill, and arguably the runner-up, Kohl Stewart. Last signing day, Texas A&M was able to steal away the unanimous 5-star QB, Kyle Allen, from Arizona and the rest of the Pac-12. With Allen's obvious skill set, he wasn't brought to College Station, Texas, to be a back up. He will start very early in his career as an Aggie and not relinquish his starting duties until he gets injured or goes to the NFL.
Murray will be only one year behind Allen and wouldn't seem likely to start in Allen's second year. Murray will probably need to redshirt and get the opportunity to finally start with only one or maybe two years of eligibility remaining. That doesn't sound like much fun for someone who's potential at the next level could earn him a starting position in his first or second year in a solid program.
Now, the number of Oregon's quarterbacks on scholarship don't immediately match the elite talent that Texas A&M will have. Mariota will no longer be there but two third-year guys will be involved with the starting competition with Jake Rodrigues and Jeff Lockie.
Damion Hobbs came in a year later who flipped to Oregon from Arkansas State. Hobbs was recruited as a "green talent" at best and in no way at the same level as Rodrigues or Lockie. Last letter of intent day the Ducks were able to land a potential future starter in Morgan Mahalak as a highly-touted dual threat QB. Mahalak, however, doesn't have the elite talent to step into the complex offense of Oregon and start right away.
We will see Rodrigues and Lockie as early favorites in the fall of 2015 as the starting competition heats up. Oregon does not currently have a "platinum-level talent" player at the quarterback position which makes it more likely for some young blue-chip to walk right in and give the experienced guys a serious run for their money.
Murray already has a state championship under his belt as a young starter and with his continued growth and understanding of the game, could come into Oregon's program and help find another championship at the highest collegiate level.
So, Murray could be that "hero" the Duck fans have been frothing at the mouth over, to claim that elusive title. Until Murray commits to his preferred football team, Oregon fans will have Bonnie Tyler echoing in their heads, "Holding Out For a Hero."

November 28, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Brewers slugger Ryan Braun is talking publicly for the first time since accepting a season-ending suspension for violating Major League Baseball's anti-drug agreement.
Braun was taking part in a food drive at Miller Park on Wednesday. He says he is "deeply remorseful," and eager to get back to playing.
Braun was the first star to be suspended as part of the doping scandal surrounding the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in Florida.
The five-time All-Star tested positive for elevated testosterone in October of his 2011 NL MVP season, but his 50-game suspension was overturned when an arbitrator ruled the urine sample was mishandled. Braun has apologized for blaming specimen collector Dino Laurenzi Jr. He says they have "made amends." He says he not made any payments to Laurenzi.

I'm a new member. I'm wondering if anyone remembers "Southern Missionary College" and the self-supporting Little Creek Academy? I endured those educational institutions from 1966-1972. Felt a need to be re-educated by state universities. Am immersed in science, evolution, and working with those who have left religion. It's great to know this community exists and to be a member!
Going over logical fallacies in my critical thinking class and this website given for the homework is awesome. http://www.logicalfallacies.info/presumption/
I love the examples given for 'arguing from ignorance' and 'begging the question/circular reasoning'.
I like to pass this link around. Is dark, humorous and was pretty much what put the last nail in the coffin of my religious adherence. An Atheist's Critique of the Bible done by one of my old platoon mates from the army.
You're very welcome and welcome to the group and thank you for enjoying the story.
Hello, everyone. Former SDA here. Went to PUC in the late 90s taking theology with the goal of becoming a minister. Didn't pan out. Believed in god till about 2005 and was pretty sure I was an atheist in 2007. Nice to find this community within this larger community. Thanks to Dustin for creating this group and it was interesting to read your story!
I was born to and raised in an SDA family in Philadelphia. My dad was the director of our Pathfinder club (mom and dad both are Master Guides).
Mom is still and Adventist and doesn't like that I've defected to the side of rationality. I've had many conversations with her on the subject. Both of my parents are scientists. I've asked my mom, "With all that you know scientifically about the world around you, you'd deny all of that for your faith?" She answered without hesitating, "Yes." Unfortunately, I can't do that. My dad is a bit more rational, though he's still a believer in... something. He's much more accepting of my lack of belief, because, as he said, "I taught you to think for yourself, so I have to respect that." Even so, I still have a great relationship with both of my parents.
Pretty much anyone else can osculate the posterior if they don't like that I'm no longer an SDA. My grandmother, who used to take us to church every weekend, recently passed away, so I didn't ever have this conversation with her, and I'm rather ok with that.
I'm looking for former Adventists in the Los Angeles area. I see a few people in this group that live in that area and I've sent some messages, but I also see a lot of people with no location listed so I thought I would put a general comment on the wall here. Feel free to send me a private message to connect with me.
Hi, Ronda! I'm glad you found this group. My reaction when i found the group online was "At last! People who know what it was like!"
I share your feelings about seeing old Adventist faces and places. My grandmother, a lifelong Adventist, died in July at age 101. She had a large funeral in Gladstone, Oregon - at the same time that camp meeting was going on! It felt a little weird being surrounded by Adventists after 23 years away, but nostalgic, too. Some of the old hymns still move me, even though I've been an atheist for decades now.
I actually went to my 35th reunion at Laurelwood Adventist Academy today. First one I've attended since I left the church. It was ok. I got a little weirded out when I saw the campus, but the "kids" (we are all 53) were awesome. We didn't discuss religion...just laughed about old times. They did pray over dinner. I just watched. It was good to see them, and I'm glad I went. And I am so glad I've moved on from Adventism. It was a healing kind of day.

A word from ZZest Market & Cafe
At ZZest we feature products that are small batch, artisan created, and handmade following traditional family methods. We source local farm raised ingredients as often as possible, fly in fresh seafood from the coasts, and fully utilize the ingredients that are at their seasonal best.Continued
Our Cafe is small, and, it is very, very casual (just like the rest of our store) -- the focus is on the food. We do take a few dinner reservations but we save most of the tables for walk in, just to keep it relaxed. So put on your favorite jeans and a comfortable sweatshirt and enjoy an elegant meal without having to count the silverware. And yes, we do have real waitresses and even bathrooms.

- Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/11/2014We like to have a dinner in this great place! Great atmosphere, great service and delicious food.Special Features:
- We'll be back! Loved it.ZatzpaVIPDined on 10/7/2014This was our first time at Zzest. And we loved it. My husband and I both had the tasting menu and found the portions to be perfectly small (we left satisfied and not too full) and the flavors wonderfully big and bold. Enjoyed the seating nestled into the market.Special Features:
- namojnDined on 10/4/2014Great food. A little small on space but the food and service was top notch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KathyDined on 10/1/2014I had a wonderful artic char (perfectly grilled) with a delicious sauce. The creme brulee with blackberries was yummy! Delighted by the wine list-not overwhelming with wonderful "gems" to choose from.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placevisitingVIPDined on 9/27/2014ZZest never fails to have great food and great service. LeAnn and Jerry bring great things to you as the diner.Special Features:
- almostsspjalDined on 9/25/2014Good in tensions. Food pretended craftsman. Meat ordinary. Sauce uninspired. Vegetables a malange of misfits. Waitress lovely but untrained. What will it take to persuade owners that serving is important and should be professional.
- Fit for foodiesChipDined on 9/16/2014inside or out, lunch or dinner, Zzest is totally fit for foodies. Family owned and run by LeeAnn and Jerry, two long time pros in the restaurant business. Great service and a constantly evolving menu never disappoint, they don't miss. in addition to the restaurant, there's a market inside with thousands of ingredients for culinary extroverts. Robust and intense flavor, the definition of Zzest.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite placeBrigidDined on 9/12/2014We go to ZZest at least once a week, and love to go outside on the patio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Epicurean treatSagaciousPalateVIPDined on 9/11/2014I think I forgot to mention in my last review...that...in addition to "never a bad meal @ this restaurant"...the place includes a fabulous culinary market! Aaaaand....there always seems to be a cheese tasting going on(yum). The tasty cheeses are often paired with various jams, preserves, and honeys. Also, there is often a decadent chocolate something to taste as well ;-d A true epicurean treat from start to finish @ Zzest in Rochester, MN. My Fav! Hands down!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great night out!lacrossefoodieDined on 9/6/2014We had a wonderful night at Zest. Very surprised by the inexpensive Cabernet on their wine list. We enjoyed the squid appetizer with hummas to start. My husband really enjoyed the lobster roll. Wish we would have had room for dessert the options looked tempting!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ParentvisitDined on 8/16/2014We tried the chef's choice menu and it was great. We never ate sweetbreads before but found them very palatable. A great dining adventure!Special Features:

- The following 17 reviews are from the ZZest Market & Cafe reviews archive.
- ZZestOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014Great outdoor place to eat. Food is excellent - perhaps the best in Rochester. Menu changes frequently -but the favorite standbys (e.g.scallops) always seem to be there.Special Features:
- Spot on!Aruba99VIPDined on 6/27/2014The meat and cheese trays are a hit with us....so many choices for both and served with fantastic tasting baguettes, nuts, dried fruits and a surprise chutney/jelly that is always spot on! Special entree this evening was a lobster roll (tons of lobster on this one!) and the halibut prepared with asparagus and swiss chard. Overall an excellent dinner! Wish they'd kick up their wine list a notch or two.Special Features:
- best food in RochesterSagaciousPalateVIPDined on 6/17/2014Hands down the best food in Rochester. Most creative chefs in Rochester. "Consistently" best food, service, presentation of any restaurant in the area. These folks(LeAnne and Jerry Zubay) revolutionized/raised the bar the restaurant scene in Rochester with their former restaurants:The Bank, Henri Wellington, Broadstreet, Redwood Room, City Cafe. Now they continue with ZzzzzBest of everything with Zzest Market and Cafe. We dine @ Zzest several times a month. Lunch or dinner, they are always consistent in their top notch service. We've never had a bad experience there. Smart casual dining indoors or out: seafood, beef, woodfire pizzas... You can't go wrong! We are fortunate to have Zzest in Rochester.Special Features:
- ZZest is the Best!RochesteriteDined on 6/14/2014First time trying ZZest, but it definitely won't be the last - we have found our new favorite restaurant in Rochester!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A cut above the restEatmoreDined on 5/23/2014If you're weary of chains and "family" restaurants, then try ZZest. It's the most unique and special, and delicious, food in Southern Minnesota.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CandyCaneDined on 5/21/2014Great meal! However, the restaurant did not know we had made a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Like dining at a Whole FoodsOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 5/17/2014This is a small but cool place. It's like dining at an open market, or if Whole Foods served dinner in their cheese department, this is how it would go. We stuck with the cheese, dried meats, and eclectic menu items like the lentil cake, which were all good. Desert was good, as well. The only negative was the guy who is either the owner or manager was hovering around by desert making longing eyes to reclaim our table. I didn't think that was fair since we were there for only two hours and our check was over $250.00. And for that reason only, I will think twice before going back.Special Features:
- A hidden gemScottsdaleFoodieDined on 5/8/2014Incredible incredible food. We were visiting from Scottsdale Arizona. We are recommended to eat here by a local. We were not disappointed. The pulled mozzarella with some of the best I've had in my life. We had the bread dish with dipping oils as well. They were incredible. We also got the roasted beet salad which was out of this world. The entrées were fantastic. We had a fish dish as well as a chicken dish. Finally, we had dessert and pressed coffee. We have excellent restaurants in Scottsdale, but ZZest is as good as any of them. They opened up shop in Scottsdale, they would be packed with lines out the door. I will eat here on every trip to Rochester.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gem!Aruba99VIPDined on 5/1/2014I've been coming to ZZest for several years and only just learned that they are now on OpenTable. The food is exquisite and prepared in unique and tasteful ways! The atmosphere is casual and friendly, you can even buy "a round for the kitchen" right from the menu. The cheese and meat boards are phenomenal and come with nuts, dried fruits, bread and chutney. The flavors blend very nicely. Just wish the wine list were worthy of these boards! The main entrees are uniquely prepared with ingredients from sustainable & organic sources as listed on their menus. Can't wait for the patio to open so that we can enjoy the fresh pizza prepared with their pizza ovens on the premises!Special Features:
- The best!ParentvisitDined on 3/15/2014Excellent food as always, served with a personal touch. My favorite place in town for sure, beats out many in the big city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A unique experience includingredheadDined on 3/14/2014A unique experience including an outstanding selection of cheeses and entrees. This is the place to try something different with the knowledge that the blend of flavors will be perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Date NightxjubeixDined on 3/6/2014I took my wife out for her birthday, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff is nothing short of passionate, knowing all the little details of the food and it's characteristics. Their personalities really shined, and it was a comfortable, pampered experience where we had nothing but time to spend enjoying our time together and the delicious food.Special Features:
- Off night, but still reliableAnneDined on 2/19/2014My 25 year old daughter and I were really looking forward to our weeknight dinner here! I think it was an off night because the menu didn't offer the variety that it usually does. My daughter opted for the Adventurer's Meal which basically is whatever the chef concocts; she was very happy with all 4 dishes that were offered, especially the dessert that consisted of a combination of chocolate ice cream and flavored olive oil and, I think, caramel with sea salt. My main entree, some type of filled ravioli was bland, not the typical excellent Zzest entree. Eating utensils had to be asked for and the dessert (final 4th dish) came before the 3rd dish. Service & food typically excellent, so again, I think it was just an off night . . .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful serviceGpatrickDined on 2/12/2014I think that every member of the staff asked us how our experience was and if there was anything else we needed. That was refreshing considering the experience was already quite nice with delicious, unique foods and well-mixed drinks. I will certainly be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love at first tastefoodrulzDined on 2/12/2014We had heard so many good things about this place so had to try it out. Best meal we have had in a long time. Real fresh artisan food. Every bite was mouthwatering. It is a small place great for couples or groups of 4. We arrived early which allowed us to chat with the service staff to get recommendations on the menu items. The menu changes so you have to keep going back to try more. This is our new fav place to dine!Special Features:
- Great foodvisitingVIPDined on 1/10/2014We had a great night there. Food and service were fabulous as usual. Love the popcorn.Special Features:
- ZZ Zest ReviewPaulDined on 12/27/2013Took my wife to ZZ Zest last weekend for dinner. Have never eaten there before but had purchased items from their in store food market. Food was very good. Menu is rather limited and I would not recommend this place for kids or for those who are not interested in trying something different. The French bread is awesome! The pasta dish I had was also very good. My wife had melt in your mouth scallops but they were on some rather spicy potatoes. Crime brûlée was very good as well. Nothing spectacular but overall a very nice place to eat for something different. Prices are not cheap. Dinner for two without liquor and we shared the creme brulee was nearly 80 dollars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Hot Black Woman Asks Out Kief Olberman: But Is He Man Enough To Accept?
I don't think Kief is man enough. He's probably already hiding under his desk. heh! Via the Dallas Tea Party.
I don't think "Short Round" Olberman is capable of handling a hot black woman, or a hot anything.
Good God. I never really noticed the absolute lack of "diversity" in MSNBC's political line-up. Talk about hypocrisy of the highest order. Its no wonder Chris Matthews was so observant of Obama's skin colour, with so many white people surrounding him at MSNBC who could blame him.
Brilliant! I say we award algore's Oscar to this film maker.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
To most of us, it's "Eastwood," but around the state it's "Pemberville
Eastwood." "Pemberville Eastwood" got mentioned quite a bit in state-wide media during 2009.
It's not Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller, Canton McKInley, or Lakewood St. Edward, but it's getting there.
Let's see, you had, in order —
Combine them into one news item, and you've got the most significant sporting event in the Eastern Maumee Bay region during 2009. The bowling title came in March, the state track championships in June, and Shimel's title in October.
The Eastwood bowling team, Jessica Heestand, Mikayla Young, Mallory Fritz, Carrie Lorenzen, Brandi Roller, Kelsey Waynick, Emily Walston, Peyton Himburg and coaches Jay Young and Josh Jaworski, defeated Troy in the state final. After losing the first two matches of the best-of-five, Eastwood defeated Troy 193-148, 241-201, and 166-147 as Sports Time Ohio television play-by-play announcers seemed more speechless than the Eagle bowlers. On the STO video, one can see parent and Pemberville resident Michael Fritz spilling popcorn and cheering wildly in the background for his daughter, and who can blame him?
Eastwood's track team scores 47 points to defeat runner-up Cortland Lakeview (38) at The Ohio State University's Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium to win the state title, even with sprinter Cody Seifert injured on the sidelines. Schemenauer did his part, clearing 15-3 to win the pole vault, and Welch defended his discus crown with a D-II record whip of 196-1, one of the top five Ohio discus prep distances ever recorded.
Shimel, making her third trip to the state tournament, defeated runner-up Morgan Ransom of Gahanna Columbus Academy by two strokes on OSU's 5,560-yard, par 70 Gray Course. Shimel had a two-day total of 145.
However, there is more —
(3) Genoa football goes 10-0, again, in the regular season under Coach Michael Vicars. After three seasons under Coach Vicars, the Comets have not lost a Suburban Lakes League contest. In 2009, the Comets (11-1) were ranked No. 3 in state Division IV polls and dominated the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press First Team with 18 players.
(4) The league domino effect. Even though the Northern Lakes League nixed Clay for Napoleon, they did so because Rossford left. Why did Rossford leave? To fill the void left in the Suburban Lakes League when Lakota left to join the Midland Athletic League. After Lakota left, at least two schools were not willing to allow Rossford to fill that void, so five schools left the SLL and in two years will begin play in the Northern Buckeye Conference.
Elmwood joined the party after having been turned down by the MAL, and will participate in the NBC alongside Eastwood, Genoa, Lake, Woodmore, Otsego, Rossford, and Fostoria beginning in 2010-11. That same year, Gibsonburg will begin competing as a member of the Toledo Area Athletic Conference.
Clay and Waite will see a new league opponent that year in Fremont Ross, which joins the City League. Even Genoa Community Christian Academy, a tiny parochial school located in the former Genoa public school building on State Route 163, is in its fourth year of basketball and joined a league this year — the six-team Independent Christian Schools of Ohio/Michigan. Will it ever end?
(5) Former Clay defensive back Jordan Kovacs walks on and makes the University of Michigan football team, and then this year as a freshman becomes a full-blown starting safety and is nominated for the national College Rudy Awards. The 5-10, 194 pound Kovacs, the son of former UM player Lou Kovacs, played a key role in Michigan's win over Notre Dame, and was second on the team in tackles (75) and ranked 26th in the Big Ten Conference with a 6.2 tackles per game average.
(6) The Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference names Scott Bergman, a former Woodmore basketball player, as its Athlete of the Decade. While a senior at Bluffton University, Bergman put up 22.5 points per game and was named a Third Team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He scorched the net for 30 points or more seven times his senior year and scored 50 on HCAC rival Anderson as a junior.
(7) Championships start coming in droves at Lake — girls' basketball and soccer both have astounding seasons and athletic prowess is restored at Lemoyne Road. Levy failures had threatened sports beginning seven years ago and about 150 of its best student-athletes left, even though athletics never really left. We all knew Lake would be back within good time, though.
(8) Pemberville native Jerry Sigler gets his 600th coaching victory at Sylvania Northview, and he's still rolling as this year's Lady Kats are still undefeated at the holiday break. In 33 years at Northview, the 1963 Eastwood graduate has never had a losing season and his teams have made three state final four appearances. Northview has the fourth-winningest program all-time in the state.
(9) Waite boys' basketball wins the City League regular season championship. Who would've guessed that Waite would have a better league record (10-1) than St. John's Jesuit, Libbey, and Scott? It happened under Coach Dave Pitsenbarger, a former Waite player himself. Of course, the glory was short lived because Central Catholic coach Jim Welling and his Irish put an end to the dream by defeating Waite 58-47 in the CL final four playoffs.
(10) The East Side Raiders, after 70 years of football, announced it may fold. The CYO junior high program, perennial Toy Bowl champions, provided a feeder-youth club team for mostly Clay, Waite, and Cardinal Stritch high school teams for nearly three-quarters of a century. It is in danger of folding because of lack of participation resulting from closing Catholic parishes on the east side, say team officials.
• Kate Achter ends her record-setting career at Bowling Green State University and travels to Athens, Greece to take a try at women's professional basketball.

Error Loading OS after Restored Backup
Hi, sevenforums. I'm the owner of a Lenovo W520 (system specs at the bottom). I have been trying to recover Windows after a seemingly successful upgrade to version 1.30 of the BIOS left me with a borked installation. When the installation was finished and the BIOS chip finished flashing, the power LED was on and the fans were at normal levels, but the screen was entirely black except for a slowly blinking underscore in the top-left corner. Since the update's changelog mentions some specific changes to the boot order, I figured my MBR had become collateral damage.
Here are the unsuccessful things I've done so far:
-Checked BIOS for version (displayed as ver. 1.30 w/ ECP at ver. 1.17)
-Booted into Windows PE and ran MbrFix's "restoreMBR" command on the affected drive
-Tried pointing Windows repair image running off my USB drive to the drive controller (RST) files, iaStor.inf and iaAHCI.inf. It thinks the files are unrelated to my system hardware.
-From cmd prompt, bootrec.exe/ScanOS sees my installationon the D: drive. Startup Repair claims it has successfully repaired the installation, but reboot produces same problem.
-Built a custom Windows 7 image using RT7 Lite integrating iaStor.inf and iaAHCI.inf into the Drivers section and repeated last step.
-Ran the familiar bootrec.exe /fixmbr then /fixboot then /rebuildBCD commands. They failed, giving the message "the requested system device cannot be found".
-Manually marked partition 1 active on my system drive. Startup Repair failed again and gives me the following error:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Sig 1: 6.1.7600.16385

Problem Sig 5: ExternalMedia
Problem Sig 6: 1
Problem Sig 7: NoOsInstalled
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
-I finally got sick of troubleshooting and restored my C drive from a backup I ran a few days ago via my Macrium Reflect rescue ISO. Sadly, I'm still greeted by the black screen and continuously flickering disk activity LED. Booting to the hard disk from inside a multiboot menu (Xboot) reveals the message: "Error Loading OS". What should I do now?!

Thanks for the info. Here's what I did to fix the issue:
1) Swapped out my secondary HDD for my DVD drive
2) Verified that DVD had higher boot priority in the BIOS
3) Booted into the installation DVD and ran "sfc /scannow" at the Command Prompt
4) Ran Startup Repair until it was devoid of problems
5) Shut down the laptop and replaced the DVD drive with the secondary HDD (with Users folder on it)
6) Booted into Windows
Thanks so much for your help, theog. Now I can finally enjoy what's left of my Sunday!

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Kaija Straumanis on Wiesław Myśliwski's Stone Upon Stone, translated from the Polish by Bill Johnston, and available from Archipelago Books.
Kaija Straumanis is a grad student in the MA translation program (MALTS for short) here at the University of Rochester. She's currently in Latvia, "partying like an Eastern European" (?!) and trying to find the perfect work of Latvian Literature for Open Letter.
I assigned Stone Upon Stone for the "World Literature & Translation" class I taught last spring. It's 534 pages long. I initially thought there was going to be a silent coup, with everyone griping about all the stuff they have to do for other classes . . . But no! Everyone loved the novel. (Or almost everyone—I'm remembering this with an optimist's viewpoint.) And with good reason. This is my early favorite for the 2012 Best Translated Book Award due to Szymek's incredible voice, and Bill Johnson's amazing translation. This is a stunning book—one that is very easy to get sucked into . . . Those 534 pages fly by as if it were a novella! (Well, OK maybe not fly, but still.)
Here's the opening of Kaija's review:
It doesn't take that many pages to figure out that the narrator of Stone Upon Stone is a womanizing, egotistical douche bag. Through a hyperbolic and highly digressive retelling of his life (ironically centered on the construction of a tomb), main man Szymek Pietruszka makes it clear that he is known by all around him as the best drinker, fighter, singer, dancer, ladies' man—all the men want to be him and all the women want to be with him, etc. etc. But what's amazing is that as much as Szymek is the type of guy you'd want to elbow hard in the back of the neck "on accident," you can't help but feel for and even like him. In just under 600 pages of palpable rural Polish imagery and culture, author Wiesław Myśliwski shows how easy it is to take a man who has seemingly spent his life at the top of his game and break him down piece-by-piece until he has nothing left but himself and the land.
Wiesław Myśliwski (1932- ) is an award winning Polish novelist and playwright whose novels have largely not yet been translated into English (with the exception of Palace [1991, Peter Owen Ltd] and the forthcoming A Treatise on Shelling Beans [2013, Archipelago]). Stone Upon Stone (Polish original published in 1984) has been called Myśliwski's "grand epic," and not without reason. In addition to specializing in all things Polish countryside, Myśliwski is a master not only of invoking location, but also of creating characters. The voice of Szymek Pietruszka is so distinct and so unique that it's almost unreal to think the English translation is, in fact, a translation. That's not to say it's been streamlined to fit what could be considered a more "American" ideal or standard for fiction—this book is undeniably European. It's more like the book was originally written in English.

Canned Cat Food... [moved from General Topics board]
- c
- Clarkafella Oct 28, 2012 09:46 AM
OK, I know this is going to get moved or removed by the Mods, but it is a serious question and I hope that it stays up long enough to get an answer.
How long can an opened can of cat food stay out and still be safe for them to eat?
I know that we could put it in the refrigerator, but it just seems like it wouldn't be as good for them taste wise. I know that Deviled Ham isn't as good, so that is what I am basing this on.
We are supposed to feed them 1/2 a can in the morning and 1/2 a can at night, and with 3 cats, we will always have a half a can left over!
re: KSlink
I have a snap on cover that fits cat food cans or I just use plastic wrap if the cover isn't clean. I microwave the food very briefly to bring the food to about room temp. The cats don't seem to have a problem with it and the few extra seconds it takes isn't a hassle at all.
Moved to NOT ABOUT FOOD is likely.
Many cats here.I don't like to refrigerate open cans.I will not feed COLD FOOD.The cats don't care flavor wise after the frig,but rewarming is a PIA.If it's no more than 8 to 12 hours in a cool spot,less than 70*f I just cover tightly.I have a cupboard that is very cool,58*-60* right now where leaving a breakfast can until dinner is my habit.
I've never had a cat that would eat the food cold from the fridge, and only one that would eat it reheated. I just feed them less food more often - i.e., divide the whole can between all each meal and feed three or four times times a day instead of two. I actually started doing this because I found they digested smaller meals better, but I don't know if that would work for you.
re: ratgirlagogo
Our cats wouldn't eat food from the refrigerator until we switched from the pate style to in Gravy. Now we have no problem taking the open leftover can and dishing it out to the cats. After all, they eat turkey, cheese and other deli straight from the refigerator.
re: bagelman01
Our cats won't eat anything cold from the fridge, including people food. I know other cats who will, but ours won't.
I refrigerate Fancy Feast (a.k.a. crack for cats) ALL THE TIME since Queenie gets 1/4 can per day as a vehicle for one of her medicines. She doesn't balk at the chill at all (she is katty-BATTY for FF), but definitely you can pop it in the micro for a few secs and test the temp with your finger to make sure it's not too hot.
For her regular food, also canned, I leave it covered on the counter all day--1/2 can in a.m., 1/2 can for dinner.
re: kattyeyes
My pigs, I mean cats, will eat cold canned cat food. They nosh on dry kibble all day and get the canned good stuff in the morning and at night so it's like a treat for them. I suggest taking the food out of the fridge as soon as you get home from work so by the time it's dinner time for the cats, the food is at room temp.
re: MysticYoYo
Honest and for true, about 5-10 seconds in the microwave takes the cool off of a little bit of canned cat food right quick! But my girl does not seem to mind her "pâté" straight from the fridge. :) Her midday meal is at 2; I set an alarm on my phone so I don't forget. But somehow my cat can tell time and sometimes even shows up early. HA HA HA!
I feed Friskies pate to one cat and Benefuls stew meals for dogs (at the moment) to the other. They each get the equivalent of 1/4 can of cat food each morning. I pop a pet food lid on the can and keep it in the fridge. They've never complained about the temp.
I had previous cats who would lick off the stew in those type of foods and leave the chunks, so I switched to pate.
re: tracylee
They're funny about consistency, aren't they?!
At the advice of our vet, we just switched to the canned stuff. They will eat it straight out of the refrigerator, but it just seems less appetizing than it already is!
As others have already mentioned, very few cats will eat food straight out of the fridge. Can you blame them? It's sort of like asking you to eat ice cold leftover chili. There may be a few takers, but the majority would probably prefer it warm or at least room temp.
While these days I have enough cats (4) to enable me to divvy up 2 cans equally, back in my minority cat population days (& pre-microwave, I might add), I used to remove the plastic can-saver top from the can & sit it on top of an old electric toaster that I never used anymore. One "toast" cycle & the leftover food was warmed perfectly. But I'm sure the same results could be obtained by putting the food in a dish & microwaving it for a few seconds. Just be sure you stir it before serving to eliminate any searing hot pockets.
re: Bacardi1
micro for a few seconds is good, and ditto on stirring it up...plus, since my cat eats the "pate" texture (which tends to dry out more) I usually mix in a tsp of hot water to make it softer for her...noticed that since she licks it off the plate, if it is dry it sticks in her mouth (she makes that weird face and her tongue tries to work it off the roof of her mouth or something).
Funny how the cats have trained us in their preferred food prep!
re: BeeZee
We are trained well aren't we? This post made me giggle thinking about the cats face.
re: Bacardi1
OK, I've read this whole thread and now I have to respond:
My wife and I have had, in 27.5 years of marriage, more than 20 cats we have lived with. She had cats log before that. We have never -- NEVER -- had a single cat refuse food from the fridge. (Or, in the case of Clementine, one of the current brood, from anywhere else for that matter.)
This repeated shibboleth sounds an awful lot like putting "People" intentions on feline behavior.
Honus Wagner would come running if he heard your hand _touch_ the milk jug. I experimented for years; he wouldn't be present if I touched the marmalade, the butter, the cheese, or the wine, but by gum touch the milk jug and he'd be there before you could lift it.
re: jmckee
My cat absolutely walks away from ice cold food, she will come back to it later when it warms up to room temp. I certainly didn't "teach" her the behavior. I think it may have more to do with the cat not smelling it as much if it is cold, rather than the temp, per se.
re: jmckee
But still that's just your personal experience - regardless of the 27.5 year timespan. Obviously others - myself included - have personally watched cats walk away from cold food. No anthropomorphism whatsoever.
re: jmckee
Above my remark was "I will not feed "COLD FOOD"" yes most of mine over the years would eat it,starting with our first litter of siamese born 1949.But why do it?It's too easy to serve neutral temperature food.
I don't even subject our "barn" animals to icy water.Cold,yes because you can't do everything.
Mouth comfortable temperatures isn't that much work.
re: jmckee
Cold temperature isn't necessarily bothersome to cats (anyone have a cat that loves ice cream? uh huh). Cats respond strongly to how food smells -- that's also why they lose their appetites when they have a respiratory infection. Cold food just doesn't smell as strongly as a freshly opened can of yuck. I'd say your experience is a bit of an outlier, Jmckee; prob more about your training of them than cat preference.
Most of my cats through the years have turned up their noses at chilled half-cans. I simply gently microwave and they become more interested. I'd never leave it sitting out.
re: jmckee
Ben (our hound dog) loves Fancy Feast Chicken Hearts & Livers in Gravy that we can actual bury a pill in a spoonful, which he'll wolf down in a mouthful. We keep it on hand for the off times we run out of cheese or PB in the house. Ben's an omnivore, but he does not like cold food. The only thing he likes cold (with ice cubes, actually) is his water, but he too likes food warm .
I have a feeling (if this hasn't been said upthread) the warming enhances scent, too...part of the appeal.
re: mike0989
Just out of curiousity, how large/old is "His Highness"? Those cans of Fancy Feast are uber tiny (I know - have some on hand for special treats for our super-senior feline), & estimate that 1/4 of one of those cans amounts to maybe 1/2 a tablespoon?
re: Bacardi1
He's about 9 lbs and 8 years. We just give him the Fancy Feast as a bit of a treat. He's fine eating his dry food the rest of the time.
The other thing is that I really don't like the smell of canned cat food, and heating it would make it worse, especially first thing in the morning. Thank goodness the cats have a better sense of smell, no matter what the temp of the food.
re: Joyfull
I am not so sure you are correct.Most if not all canned dog and cat food is cooked twice.Once prior to the can and fully again in canning.
re: Joyfull
I have one cat that eats canned cat food, and he gets about a quarter can in the morning and night. So it sits out for 2 days before he gets the last quarter can. He's been fine.
re: Clarkafella
The way to entice a sick cat to eat is to microwave a bit of wet food for a few seconds and then stir it up. The heating brings out the stench in the food, which cats find appealing. The stinkier the better.
re: GraydonCarter
Our best ever vet said, if a cat is sick and will not eat, the most enticing food is the cheapest, crappiest canned tuna cat food, the one that smells like what I remember all cat food smelling like when I was a kid.
She also said that Fancy Feast, while not ideal nutritionally, had saved more kitty lives than she could count. Certainly did for our one dear boy, 6 years' worth.
re: buttertart
I agree, particularly re: the Fancy Feast. It's kept one of our old geezers going for quite some time now when we thought he was fading.
re: Bacardi1
Our one dear boy lived on cod, sole, and shrimp feast for the last 6 years of his 19 1/2, after having been terribly sick and not expected to recover.
re: Clarkafella
If you keep your microwave relatively clean, that shouldn't happen. I microwave leftover fish dishes all the time in my microwave, & nothing has ever carried over.
re: Bacardi1
I agree the leftover smell in the microwave should NOT be problematic, though I don't eat fish in the first place (unless sushi), nevermind leftover! ;)
I raised and showed pedigreed cats for over 30 years - hundreds of cats and kittens have been nurtured in my home. Ever eaten human food that has been refrigerated in an open can? Once the can is opened, a metallic taste is imparted to the contents unless the can is lined with BPH or other risky compounds. Better to transfer the un-needed cat or dog food to a food-safe covered storage container. Better yet, a microwaveable one, so that it becomes the bowl for warming up and feeding for a subsequent meal.
If your concern is the freshness of unconsumed canned food left out for the cat while the owners are off at work: use heavy ceramic pet food crocks, whose mass controls temperature better than thinner bowls. Put half the desired amount of food into a crock, cover, and freeze until morning. In the morning, "frost" the frozen food with the rest of the canned food, which has been refrigerated overnight (NOT in the can). You may want to add a third, room-temp layer. Unless your home is very hot, this will keep the food cool for most of the workday. This is the way I fed weanling kittens, and nobody ever got sick from spoiled food.
In my home office, I have an L-shaped built-in desk with a tw0-drawer filing cabinet at one end. Next to that, is mrs. al b. darned's desk.
Queen Tutt is old, arthritic, and mostly deaf, and spends most of her day sleeping on one desk or the other. Though I have had one or more cats for the better part of the last 30 years with varying tastes, this is the first one I've ever had who doesn't like milk products or cat food containing tuna or other fish products.
Though she has a bowl of water and Kitty Crunchies on the floor, she also gets one can of Kitty Crack per day which is served (in a small bowl on the desk) one spoonful at a time throughout the day. She only (sometimes) likes turkey, chicken, liver, or some combination of the of the three. Though pate is sometimes acceptable, bits in gravy is usually the preferred form. Even then, the gravy is licked off in the bits eaten later, if they don't dry out first. I usually open the can around 9 in the morning and, depending on her mood, is usually gone by 9 or 10 at night. It is never refrigerated and she has never shown any ill effects from it being left out all day. Anything left over by then is given to Webster, who also (gladly) eats it with no ill effects.
Webster also gets a can of Kitty Crack a day, half a can at a time. The half not served in the morning is capped and put in the refrigerator. It is served in the evening straight from the refrigerator and promptly gobbled up.
re: al b. darned
LOL, someone else understands Kitty Crack! Send my kind regards and a pet to both your kitties, but especially Queen Tutt. I also live with a Queen(ie)--that is but one of her many nicknames.
re: kattyeyes
Don't get me started on kitty nicknames. And i feed my two kitty crack as of the last few days. I switched from a previous brand they stopped liking.
re: kattyeyes
Just fed the 'muffin head and big boy kitty crack and it went over swimmingly. They love that stuff.
re: suzigirl
And thank goodness for kitty crack--it's the gateway back to "real food" when things are off. At least it has been, for the most part, for mine.
re: kattyeyes
As our Bklyn vet said...man I miss her.
re: kattyeyes
Everything was off for the babies tummies for a while and i switched from Fromm to Natural Balance and kitty crack for the nighttime dinner. For the moment we are cool. Hope we stay good for their sake
re: suzigirl
I hear ya, suzigirl. Fingers crossed for your babies and my kattygirl as well. When Queen was in really rough shape, I was also lucky with Harmony for her.
re: kattyeyes
Thank you bunches. I will try it for sure.
re: kattyeyes
I've always heard kitty crack as the name for freeze-dried bonita tuna flakes
