Scratching is an instinctive behavior for cats. When a cat scratches furniture, it is commonly thought to be sharpening its claws. Not so. Claws grow in layers and scratching is necessary to remove the old, flaky, beat-up top layer (husk) of the claw material to reveal the new, smooth claw underneath. Cats also have scent glands on their feet, and when they scratch, their scent remains on that surface, effectively "marking" their territory. Additionally, scratching provides exercise for their legs.
A scratching post is often the best way to meet your cat's inherent need to scratch, without sacrificing your furniture or drapes. Most cats prefer a rough, touch scratching post covering, such as sisal rope, although cardboard and carpet posts and furniture can also do the trick.
To train a cat to use a scratching post, three cardinal rules must be observed. If pet owners follow them consistently, they should have minimal trouble weaning their cat from scratching their furniture to using its own.
There are a handful of human foods that are very dangerous for animals to ingest. If you suspect your pet has eaten some of these foods, contact your veterinarian or animal poison control (888-426-4435).
Chocolate, Coffee, Caffeine: these foods all contain methylxanthines, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting, excessive thirst & urination, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms and even death.
Alcohol: beverages and food products containing alcohol can cause diarrhea, vomiting, central nervous system depression, difficulty breathing, tremors, decreased coordination, abnormal blood acidity, coma and even death.
Avocado: all parts of an avocado contain Persin, which can cause diarrhea and vomiting in dogs.
Macadamia Nuts: can cause weakness, depression, vomiting, tremors and hyperthermia in dogs.
Grapes & Raisins: can cause kidney failure. These symptoms can be more dramatic in pets who already have certain health problems.
Yeast Dough: can cause gas to accumulate in your pet's digestive system, which can be painful and possibly cause the stomach to rupture.
Raw/Undercooked Meat & Eggs: can contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. Feeding raw food is safe when handled properly.
Xylitol: used as a sweetener in many products (including gum, human toothpaste, candy and baked goods). Can cause insulin release in most species which can lead to liver failure and/or hypoglycemia.
Onions, Garlic & Chives: can cause gastrointestinal irritation and could lead to red blood cell damage. Cats are more susceptible, but dogs are also at risk if large enough doses are ingested.
Milk: pets to not possess significant amounts of lactase (the enzyme that breaks down lactose), milk and other milk-based products can cause diarrhea and other digestive upsets.
Salt: large quantities of salt can cause excessive thirst or even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Too much salt intake can cause vomiting, depression, diarrhea, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures or even death.

Raw food is considered by many nutritional experts to be the best diet for dogs and cats since it most closely mimics their natural evolutionary diet. Dry kibble has only been popular for 50 or so years and was developed primarily for pet owner convenience, not for dietary improvements.
By feeding raw food, you are giving your pet the meat and bone mixtures they were designed to eat. Because the food is raw, many of the enzymes and beneficial bacteria present in pre-cooked meats and bones are still available for consumption. These enzymes and bacteria help to keep teeth clean and stomachs healthy, balanced and strong. They also provide many of the nutrients necessary for good health, temperament and long lives.
Dogs, and especially cats, do not require grains or large amounts of carbohydrates in their diet. Many dry kibble formulas contain high amounts of these unnecessary grains, which can cause food intolerance and often obesity. Raw foods will help keep your pet lean and active. Raw bones also provide the perfect fiber source to keep their digestive system regular.
There are many different ways to feed raw food. Whole, meaty bones, like chicken backs, chicken necks and small animal frames are inexpensive and easy to prepare. You can also choose ground meaty bone mixtures (available in a variety of protein sources) that include some vegetables and organs, and often mineral and vitamin supplements. A combination of raw bones and meaty bone mixtures is recommended to promote protein diversity and keep supplementation to a minimum.
Conduct some research at home and talk to your vet. There are also many books available (such as Give Your Dog a Bone and the BARF Diet). It is extremely important to educate yourself about the proper way to feed raw food in order to ensure that your pet receives a well-balanced diet.
Be sure to wash your hands frequently when working with raw food. Cleaning surfaces, bowls, etc. during the preparation process will also help to prevent the transfer of food borne illnesses.
Feeding amounts include all food consumption: main diet, treats, bones, table scraps, etc. The above guide is intended to be used as a reference – the proper amount depends on your dog's activity level, age, environment and individual needs.
The majority of the diet should consist of raw meaty bones, whole or ground 10-20% ground raw vegetables and 10% raw organ meat. Ground raw meaty bones can be introduced at 12 weeks of age. Feeding bones before 12 weeks can cause constipation. At six to seven months of age, adult teeth should be in and you can begin feeding whole raw bones. Provide large bones for chewing once or twice per week.
Other additions include eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, cooked grains, table scraps, cheese, honey, and milk (in small amounts). Daily supplements, such as flax oil, garlic oil, kelp powder and brewer's yeast can also be added. Your goal should be to provide a complete and balanced diet for your dog over time. Do not be concerned if the diet is not 100% balanced every day, but rather over the course of a week.
For centuries wild canines and their predecessors chewed on the hides of their hoofed prey. Chewing the tough hide provided cleaning action for teeth, exercise for gums, and a source of sport for the young. Only since 1959 have we recognized the dog's natural desire to chew animal skin and its benefit to domestic dogs.
Rawhide is the inner layer of the hide of any cleft-hoofed bovine livestock. Beef hide is premium rawhide made from cows raised for consumption. American beef hide is derived from corn-fed cows within U.S. borders.
Collagen fibers link to make the animal's hide tough yet flexible. Human skin has the same basic structure but is much thinner.
The animal's skin is split into inner and outer layers. The tough outer layer is used for leather shoes, garments and upholstery while the softer inner layer is cut and formed into different shapes for dog chews.
Your dog's preference will vary with different beef hide shapes. Fortunately, chews come in every size and shape imaginable. It is important that the chew be large enough, and thick enough that your dog cannot easily chew up and swallow a large piece or the whole chew. Dogs should be supervised with their chews to monitor for ingestion of large chunks. Rawhide that requires more than seven days to chew should be replaced due to dirt and bacteria build-up.
Ground Rawhide Chews
These chews come in all shapes and sizes and consist of ground rawhide held together with binder. Best for: Choosy dogs, or dogs with sensitive mouths.
American Beef Hide Chews
Made from U.S. feeder cattle, it is the premium chew choice because of its consistency, softness and taste. Best for: Most healthy dogs.
Pressed Rawhide Chews
Made from layers of skin pressed together by machine, it is very hard. Best for: Very aggressive chewers.
All dogs have an inherent desire to chew, especially puppies. Aberrant chewing can be a sign of boredom, lack of exercise, or a vitamin deficiency, but is most often a normal desire to chew. This drive can exhibit itself on furniture and clothing items. Beef hide offers dogs a more acceptable chewing outlet.
When collagen in the skin dries out, it become stiff. As your dog chews, the saliva moistens and softens the rawhide.
If your dog has gastrointestinal disease or is eating a therapeutic diet, you should seek a veterinarian's approval before feeding chews. Dogs with beef allergies or that consistently swallow bones whole should probably not receive chews.
Rawhide is not a food, but a relatively safe, chewable toy. It is high in protein, low in fat, and has fewer calories per ounce than a typical dog biscuit. An hour of chewing daily is a good rule of thumb for feeding chews. Always supervise your dog while he is chewing his rawhide, since a dog could potentially choke on a large piece of rawhide if swallowed. Once a chew is small enough for a dog to swallow it whole, it should be taken away and discarded.
Natural antler chews last much longer than traditional rawhide or synthetic chew toys, and often, even longer than raw bones! Deer antler chews are a great natural source for the calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, iron and zinc your dog needs. Antlers are a clean, odorless, non-staining, non-greasy treat that can keep active chewers busy for days.
Bully Sticks:
Made from fibrous digestible beef muscle, these are a great hard, tough chew sharing many of the same qualities and benefits as rawhide.
Yak Milk Dog Chews:
100% natural chews, made from yak and cow milk, salt and lime juice.
Raw Frozen Bones:
Raw bones are an excellent natural source of minerals, essential fatty acids, proteins, calcium, phosphorus and enzymes. Additionally, they can help promote gum and teeth health for better breath! Always supervise your dog when chewing bones.
Sweet Potatoes:
Dried yams, or sweet potatoes, make excellent nutritious treats that are rich in antioxidants.
One of the most important decisions you will make is deciding the appropriate food to feed your pet. Some good questions to ask when selecting a food for your pet are:
What is your pet's age – puppy, middle-aged or senior?
What is your pet's condition – fat, skinny, average? Is your pet active or idle?
What is your pet's health history – medical conditions (allergies, cancer, digestive difficulties, etc.)?
What is your budget – can you really afford the most expensive foods? How many pets do you have to feed?
When selecting a puppy or kitten food, be sure to start with the food the breeder was feeding in order to avoid stress during transition to a new household. In dogs, be aware that the large/giant breeds need specific types of food to help prevent problems associated with growth. Ask your veterinarian or other pet food professionals for recommendations about the right food for your dog or cat. There is also an abundance of information available online about different types of food and ingredient sources.
As your pet grows, he or she will need an adult food that meets his or her dietary needs. Remember, variety is important to our pets – mixing flavors helps reduce the risk of allergy development or food intolerance. Feeding the same formula for years can cause boredom as well. Just remember to use the proper dry food transition guidelines when changing your pet's food.
Combining the old and new foods together slowly during a transition will lessen the impact on your pet's digestive system, especially if you are switching from a grocery store brand to a premium food or from a premium food to a super premium formula.
Be sure to also accommodate for different caloric values in food – you may have to increase or decrease the amount you feed your pet based on the recommendations on the back of the new bag. Using a measuring cup will help ensure your pet is receiving the recommended amount. This is especially important when you are feeding premium or super premium formulas, since they are calorically dense.
Feeding your pet table food is acceptable in small doses, so long as the table food is of high quality. Feeding too much table food can upset the balanced formula of his or her pet food and can add calories that contribute to obesity. If you are feeding table scraps, please remember to decrease the amount of pet food you are feeding accordingly so that your pet does not consume excessive calories. Feeding table scraps can also cause your pet to become a fussy eater.
Look for foods that contain whole or fresh meats or a single source of meat meal. A whole-meat or meal source should be listed as one of the first two ingredients (even better if there are two meat sources among the top three ingredients). Whole meat sources are defined as the clean flesh of mammals or the clean flesh and skin from poultry (no feathers, bones, etc.). Whole meats, since they contain mostly water, are less concentrated than meals and the quantity contributed to pet food is often limited in the manufacturing process. Meat meal is defined as the rendered product from mammal tissues or the skin and flesh from poultry or fish. Meals contain only about 10% moisture which contributes to a higher concentrated amount of animal protein. Meals are, however, more processed than fresh meat.
Fats in a diet are concentrated forms of energy. Fat plays a major role in the palatability and texture of pet foods. It also supplies essential fatty acids Omega 6 and 3, which benefit the skin and coat. Fat also carries fat-soluble vitamins.
Dietary fiber is primarily non-digestible, but is important in an animal's diet to help food residue move through the digestive tract. It also contributes to the consistency of stool. Fiber is used in elevated amounts in "diet" foods to help create a fuller feeling for the animal.
Vitamins and minerals are also important ingredients and contribute to bone and tissue development, aid in cell formation and assist the immune system.
Water is one of the most important nutrients and is required for all bodily functions. Fresh water should always be available for your pet.
Whole, unprocessed grains, vegetables and other foods are also very important. A previously unprocessed food has the best chance of surviving the manufacturing process with its nutrients intact. Grain fragments (lower cost by-products of other food manufacturing processes), such as brewer's rice or wheat bran, should be minimal. Also be wary of meat by-products and generic fats or proteins (like "animal protein"). Artificial preservatives and artificial colors are also signs of low-quality food. Propylene glycol is a chemical (traditionally added to keep foods moist or "chewy") that your pet does not need to be exposed to. Added sweeteners, such as corn syrup, are also sometimes added to low-quality foods to increase their appeal.
When reading food labels look for a few key items: brand name, purpose statement (dog or cat food), guaranteed analysis, list of ingredients, directions for use, manufacturer name and contact information, claim that food meets AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) nutritional adequacy.
On the ingredient list, it is important to remember that ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. Generally speaking, the first few (4-5) ingredients contain the bulk of the weight of the product. Sometimes manufacturers use a technique called "splitting" where multiple forms of an ingredient are listed in order to lower its proximity to an ingredient listing. For example, if a product contains Chicken Meal, Rice Flower, Brewers Rice and Rice Bran, the product actually contains mostly rice, even though chicken meal is listed first. All pet foods will be formulated with some form of grain or starch (typically at least 50%) as they are necessary for binding the product together (it would be impossible to create dry kibble only from meat).
The guaranteed analysis stated the minimum or maximum nutrient values contained within a product. For dogs and cats the following values are required: Crude Protein – Minimum; Crude Fat – Minimum, Crude Fiber – Maximum; Moisture – Maximum. Often, manufacturers will list other guaranteed nutrient values to provide the consumer with additional information.
This is a basic guide to a cat's needs. If you have any questions, our friendly sales staff is always ready to help determine the best products to care for your pet. By choosing high quality pet food, treats and supplies for your new cat, you will create the perfect environment for a happy, healthy companion.
A book will help you better understand the needs of each different breed of cat – i.e. temperament and grooming needs. It is important to keep new cats inside your home for the first 2-3 months so they will understand that it is their forever home and will be less likely to get lost if they are scared and runaway while outside and be unable to find their way back.
Collar: Your cat should have a collar with an ID tag and local license if it goes outside at all. A quick-release collar will ensure that your cat does not harm itself if it becomes caught in a tree or high area in your home. Outdoor cats should also have a bell to ensure that your cat is not successful at capturing any small critters which may transmit disease to your pet.
Bowls: Choose a dish that is large enough to accommodate one serving of pet food and that is easy to clean. Ceramic or stainless steel bowls work the best. Oval-shaped bowls are also available to accommodate long whiskers. Fountains are another great option.
Make sure water is available at all times. Keeping fresh water accessible in multiple locations throughout the house will help to ensure your cat stays hydrated and will reduce the risk of urinary infections.
Toys: Cats love to chase, bat things and pounce. Small balls, stuffed mice, catnip toys or any toy that has something that dangles or hangs will give your cat hours of play time.
Scratching: Scratching is an instinctive behavior for cats. You must provide them with something appropriate to scratch or they will use something inappropriate (such as your couch or door frame). Scratching posts can be free standing, hung from a doorknob, or mounted on a wall. It can be made of sisal rope, wood, cardboard, or rug remnants. Catnip can be sprinkled on it to help entice your cat to use it. Start early! Scent glands on your cat's paws will mark the post as something appropriate to scratch as they grow.
Catnip: Most cats do not react to catnip until they reach adulthood. If you get an older cat, you should definitely invest in it. Otherwise you can wait until the cat is at least eight months old.
Harness & Leash: For safe outdoor walks with your indoor cat. A cat does not have the natural inclination to walk on a leash, but in time, the cat will get used to it and enjoy your time outside together. Let your cat adjust to wearing the harness inside the home, under supervision, for the first few times, then gradually begin taking the cat outside, wearing the harness, for longer periods of time. This will help ease stress. NOTE: do not try to walk your cat using a break-away collar as these are designed to release when pressure is applied.
Cat Litter: It is best to use the kind of litter your cat or kitten has been using at the shelter or their previous home to ease the transition. You can gradually mix in a new litter of your choice. There are many different kinds of litter available to suit any budget or lifestyle.
Litter Box: Purchase a deep box that your cat or kitten will be able to use as an adult. Kittens will climb into it with no problem. A deep box allows the cat to dig and bury. Covered boxes will help contain the litter as cats dig around, and often come with filters to keep odors down. If you have more than one cat, you may need more than one litter box – some cats do not share!
Litter Scoop: Plastic or metal tool to scoop clumps of litter to extend the life of litter and remove odors.
Brush: Cats shed all year, sometimes heavier than others. This is also great bonding time for both of you. Cats need to be touched a lot, and grooming them helps fulfill this need. Regular grooming easily removes excess hair which can contribute to hairballs.
Flea Comb: Part of grooming. This will help you detect potential infestation.
Nail Clippers: Clip nails while your cat is young, and do it often – this will get your cat used to having its paws touched and nails clipped.
Cat Grass: Chewing greens helps aid in digesting food and hairballs. Giving cats their own grass will also keep them from chewing your other plants. Many houseplants are poisonous to your cat (please see our list of toxic and non-toxic plants).
Cat Food: A super premium dry, canned or raw food is a proper diet for your cat. Choose a food with high meat protein content, as cats are true carnivores. Also, look for low magnesium/phosphorus (ash) content in your cat's food, to reduce the chance of urinary tract problems later on. Grain free and low carb foods are also more digestible for cats. Investing in a good quality food will actually save money – super premium foods have dense nutrition and require less per feeding. This also translates to less waste to clean-up out of the litter box. You can supplement dry food with canned or raw food occasionally or even feed them exclusively, being careful not to overindulge and/or create an imbalanced diet. Canned food increases water intake and may be helpful in preventing the formation of urine crystals.
Treats: An occasional treat is fine. There are many on the market, but not everything will be to your cat's liking. Treats should not be fed in place of a meal.
Carrier: Cats can be skittish travelers. It is a good idea to get a carrier that your cat can grow into, to keep your pet safe in the car on trips to the vet.
Stain Remover: Every pet owner should have a bottle of enzymatic pet stain and odor remover for those occasional accidents. These all-natural cleaners remove stains and odors effectively so cats will be less likely to re-mark the area.
This is a basic guide to a dog's needs. If you have any questions, our friendly, knowledgeable sales staff is always ready to help determine the best care for your pet. Remember, for a happy and healthy canine companion; always choose high quality pet food and supplies.
Get a book or go online and read-up on your desired breed or breeds (in a mixed breed). Learn about their particular habits, health issues, grooming needs as well as the general pros and cons of welcoming this, or any dog, into your home. Also consider the potential size of the dog when it reaches adulthood. Share all of this information with everyone living in your household, kids included, before bringing the dog home.
It is also important to "dog proof" your home. Put away all household cleaners, chemicals, or other potentially hazardous materials. Remove any objects from the floor or low-lying shelves that could cause the dog or puppy to choke. Keep litter boxes in enclosed spaces or out of reach, and make sure your house is free of any toxic plants.
CRATE: Crates are important because they allow your dog to have his or her own space, or den. Crate-training your dog inhibits destructive behavior and will help with housetraining. In general, it is not safe to leave toys (or chews) in the crate with your dog, unless the dog is under close supervision. The crate should never be used as a punishment for your dog. Never bang on the crate, kick it or shake it.
COLLAR & LEASH: For fast growing breeds, select an adjustable collar. For smaller breeds, a lightweight buckle collar is good. Lightweight leashes are also good for smaller dogs. There are many different leash and collar options-- stop into our store and let our sales staff help you find the perfect one for your pet.
PET FOOD: In order to determine the proper type of food for your dog, consult your vet or other pet professionals. There are many different options available, ranging from dry to canned to raw diets. Be aware that large or giant breeds need specific types of food to help prevent problems associated with growth. Our knowledgeable sales associates are available to help you decide what's best to feed your dog on any budget.
To ease the transition to a new household and avoid stress, start off with the same brand of pet food the dog has been eating. After 2 weeks, slowly begin switching your dog onto the new food using this suggested guide (please note, it may take more or less time for your dog to adjust to a new food – make sure stools are firm before moving on to the next step.):
GROOMING TOOLS: Good grooming is important and is also a great way for you to bond with your dog. A soft brush gets a dog used to being handled, while a comb is good for long coated breeds and for flea monitoring. Learning how to use dog nail clippers will help you save on grooming expenses.
OUTSIDE CONTAINMENT: Runs, kennels, dog houses and trolleys can safely open up the outdoors for your dog. Remember, however, that if a puppy spends most of his or her time with you outside, they're not going to know what to do with you inside. Make sure to spend time with your puppy both inside and outside.
TOYS: Dogs, especially puppies, love toys. Toys are not only fun for dogs, but offer mental and physical stimulation as well. It is important to supervise a dog the first time it is given any new toy. Trying different textures and sizes with toys is also important when searching for the right kind of toy(s) for your dog.
If you rotate your dog's toys, he or she will think that they're getting a new toy and you'll get more life out of the toys. Remember never to forcefully take a toy away. Try substituting a treat or another toy for one being taken away.
Chew Toys: Keeps a puppy working on a toy, not your hand, table or couch.
Soft Chew Toys: Plush chewable toys for those cuddly times.
Hard Chew Toys: Raw or sterilized bones, antlers, bully sticks and kongs can provide hours of enjoyment. Dogs should be supervised at all times with any type of hard chew.
Interactive Toys: Your puppy likes sharing his or her toys with you! Tug toys are good, but make sure that the human always wins (the owner ends the game with the toy).
Supervised Toys: Some toys can be left with a puppy when you are not around, and some toys cannot. Certain toys can be eaten or swallowed and thus are potential choking hazards or could cause digestive problems. Rope chews, frisbees, squeaky toys and rawhide should not be left alone with a dog. If you have questions about what toys can and cannot be left alone with a dog, please ask your vet or a member of our sales staff.
Remember, keeping a large variety of toys in rotation will provide the most entertainment for your dog!
ENZYME CLEANER: No matter how carefully you watch a puppy, there will be accidents. Natural enzymes break-down the molecular bonds of bacteria, "eating" stain causing elements and removing it completely. Enzyme cleaners are safe and effective at thoroughly removing spots, helping prevent dogs from returning to re-mark the same area. Special formulas for cat stains and odors are also available.
BOWLS: Separate food and water so they don't mix together. Depending on the amount of food you are feeding, you will need an appropriate sized bowl or elevated double-diner arrangement (recommended for large breed dogs). Stainless steel and ceramic bowls do not scratch and are easier to sterilize. Plastic bowls need to be inspected regularly and should be replaced once scratching and/or flaking occurs. Always have fresh water available for your dog.
TREATS: Dogs love treats. Treats come in many flavors, shapes, textures and sizes and can be extremely helpful when training your new dog, as they are an effective reward. Remember that treats have calories, though, and should be used in moderation. Kibbled dog food is also a great lower calorie substitution. Food servings, in general, should be cut back on big treat training days.
SOCIALIZATION: Dogs are social animals. If you have a puppy, make sure it gets to interact with responsible children and older dogs. Introduce your puppy to all situations that you think they will come into contact with. Be your own judge when you think your puppy has had enough socialization-- don't over stimulate them all at one time. Training classes or doggie daycare are great ways to socialize your puppy and have fun, too. All dogs need exercise and activity to keep them happy and healthy.
BEDS: Dog beds provide a comfortable place for your pet to rest. This is especially important during the winter months, as a bed will keep your dog off the cold drafty floor!
VETERINARIAN: Make sure to take your dog or puppy in for regular check-ups at the vet. Keep both your vet's phone number and an after-hours, emergency vet's phone number in a convenient place at home, and carry those numbers with you as well. Make sure to get your puppy spayed or neutered when he or she is the age recommended by your vet.
For additional information about your dog's health or questions you should ask your vet or visit:
FDA: http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/default.htm
ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/
I.D. TAGS & LICENSE: A simple I.D. tag can reunite a lost dog and their owner quickly and relatively easily. Make sure that your puppy always wears his or her up-to-date I.D. tag. Having your dog licensed by your town is not only the law, but it will also help if your dog is lost.
FLEA COMB: Part of grooming. This will help you detect potential infestation.
As with Humans, preventative dental care is the key to a healthy mouth and a quality life for pets, too.
A preventative dental program, including regular check-ups and home care, can prevent emergency dental problems for pets. Some veterinary statistics suggest that nearly 85% of all dogs and cats older than four years have some form of dental disease. Your pet depends on you to provide home dental care and regular professional examinations.
Common signs of dental disease are dark deposits on the teeth, bad breath, a change in appetite, bloody gums, drainage inside the mouth or under the jaw, frequent sneezing, watery or bloody nasal discharge or excessive salivation. Also, if a pet has an abscessed tooth, the owner may notice swelling around the face.
Have your new pet's teeth checked at their first vaccination visit so any dental problems can be treated right away. Continue regular dental check-ups during your pet's life. If tartar or plaque is forming, the teeth should be cleaned. Some animals may need to have their teeth cleaned frequently. Similar to human dentistry, owners should brush their pet's teeth between check-ups.
Most small animal veterinarians will do routine cleaning and extraction, if necessary. Depending upon the severity of the problem, owners may have to take their pets to a specialist. Veterinarians can perform oral examinations when the animal is awake, but cleaning and/or extraction requires general anesthesia.
Tooth Brushing
This is the very best home dental care you can provide for your pet. Tooth brushing removes plaque above and below the gumline and slows the accumulation of tartar while helping prevent gum and bone infections. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste intended for pets. Pet tooth brushes are soft and shaped to fit in your pet's mouth. Pet toothpastes are made to be swallowed, unlike toothpaste made for people, they also do not contain fluoride. Pet toothpaste comes in flavors that appeal to dogs and cats. Take your time, be patient and always use positive reinforcement (praise and rewards) when brushing your pet's teeth. From your pet's perspective, tooth brushing means attention from you, tasty toothpaste on a soft brush and a reward afterward!
Dogs or cats should have their teeth brushed regularly. This is especially important for older dogs or cats, which are more likely to have plaque buildup.
To introduce a puppy, kitten or adult dog or cat to brushing, rub its mouth and gums for a few minutes each day. After your pet becomes accustomed to this, begin to put a small amount of pet toothpaste on your finger when you rub the mouth and gums. Next, begin putting a small amount of toothpaste on a soft-bristle toothbrush specifically designed for pets and brush the teeth gently in a circular motion.
If your dog or cat struggles when having its teeth brushed, try wrapping a large towel around your pet to restrain it. Be as gentle as possible and follow the brushing with praise and play, so your dog or cat associates the experience with something positive. Just like with nail clipping, if your pet starts to struggle, let them go and resume the next day. If using a tooth brush just does not work, try a rough washcloth or put a little enzymatic toothpaste to chew toys like Kong Dental Sticks or similar toys.
Chew Toys
Chew toys provide some benefit by partially removing plaque and tartar above the gumline. Always watch your dog when he or she has a chew toy, to avoid potential problems if the toy comes apart. Rawhide strips, raw bones, bully sticks, dimpled hard toys, flexible plastic polymer toys and firm rubber toys are safe for most dogs.
Breath Fresheners
The most common cause of bad breath in pets is dental infection. If your pet's bad breath is due to infection, the breath will improve only when the infection is treated. However, sometimes temporary bad breath can be caused by digestive odors or dietary indiscretions (your pet ate something offensive). In these situations, a breath treat can control the problem. If your pet has persistent bad breath, consult your veterinarian promptly.
Dental Supplements
Dental supplements can also be added to your pets food and will help decrease plaque build-up.
Plaque is composed of hard food debris and bacteria, combined with proteins and calcium salts from the saliva which hardens to form tartar or calculus. Pets fed a diet consisting only of soft or canned food are apt to build up tartar more quickly. Canned food is nutritious, but because the meat is ground, minimal chewing is necessary. This does not mean that all gum disease is caused by feeding soft food s or that pet should not be fed soft food. Dry pet food provides good nutrition and assists in the removal of plaque by the mechanical action needed to chew it. A pet's gums and teeth tend to be healthier when the pet eats at least some dry food and/or has access to hard chews or raw bones.
Dental Checkups
Home dental care and regular professional examinations help protect your pet's health. Ask your veterinarian how often your pet needs a dental exam. Even if your pet appears normal, regular examinations could reveal severe dental problems that might have been hidden well by your pet.
Flea & tick control and prevention is a key factor in keeping your pet safe from disease and your home free of unwanted guests. Ticks are also a growing concern in our area - fortunately, however, most flea preventatives will also work for ticks. Checking your pet for pests after it comes in from outside is a great way to spot and remove ticks and begin treatment for fleas immediately.
Below is some information about fleas.
There are four stages in the flea life cycle: adult, egg, larva and cocoon/pupae. In and around the home, there are three areas where fleas, at various stages of development, are likely to be on your pet, in the yard and on the carpet, upholstery and drapery inside your home.
No single product can kill fleas in all four stages of their life cycle in all the areas they live. It takes a program consisting of the right combination of products applied at exactly the right time to kill fleas during the key stages of their life cycle.
Products include: topical spot-ons, sprays, collars, shampoos, powders for pets, foggers for home and yard, carpet sprays and powders, etc.
Active ingredients include: Methoprine, Pyrethrin, Permethrin, Piperonyl Butoxide, Linalool, Nylar, Fipronil, Propoxur, etc.
Products include: shampoos, pet sprays, pet powders and home/carpet sprays.
Active ingredients include: Cinnamon Oil, Cedar Oil, Clove Oil, Lemon Grass, Citronella, Peppermint, Brewer's Yeast, Garlic, Pennyroyal Oil, Melaleuca, D-Limonene, Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, Boric Acid.
Fleas are more than just a nuisance. Fleas can cause your pets serious medical problems. Many dogs and cats are highly sensitive to flea bites and may develop an allergic reaction. Fleas also may transmit tapeworms and cause infested animals anemia (severe blood loss) not to mention great pain and misery. Once your pet becomes infested, products must be used to exterminate the existing flea population. All affected areas must be treated including your pet's bedding, the areas outside your home that your pet frequents, and all carpets, furniture and drapery inside your home. Failure to properly treat all areas will increase the likelihood that some fleas or eggs could survive and re-infest your pet and your home.
There are 4 steps to complete flea control:
We recommend using flea treatments year-round for best results. Most monthly topical flea treatments are easy to use and are effective at killing and repelling fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.
A common misconception is that fleas and other parasites aren't a problem in the winter. This is not the case. Under the right conditions, such as a midwinter warm spell, fleas can survive and reproduce indoors. The onset of flea season is impossible to predict.
Read Labels Carefully Before Using Any Flea Product!
Just like human fingernails, a dog and cat nails grow all the time, so regular manicures should be part of every pet owner's routine. Trimmed claws are also less likely to snag fabric and inadvertently scratch people. Nail trimming is much easier if the your pet has been accustomed to regular manicures since it was a puppy or kitten, but most owners still have a good chance for success even with an adult animal, if they follow these simple instructions.
To get a dog or cat used to having its paw handled, gently hold and massage each paw for a short time. Before clipping, study your pet's toes and paws carefully. The pink area in the nail is a living nail (called the kwik), which carries the blood supply and should not be cut. The white area that forms the sharp, pointed nail tip is the part that needs trimming. Just take off the tip of the claw, leaving a little white nail on the end to protect the pink portion. If your pet's nails are cut too closely they could bleed profusely and be quite tender and painful.
In case of an accidental cut, keep syptic powder on hand – this antiseptic clotting agent will help to stop the bleeding quickly.
Spaying and Neutering are surgical procedures performed by veterinarians where reproductive organs are removed. There are many benefits to having your pet spayed or neutered.
Females who have been spayed are less likely to develop breast and ovarian cancers. Males who have been neutered are less likely to develop prostate and testicular cancers. Once their reproductive organs have been surgically removed, pets are less apt to roam, thereby reducing the risk of injury or contracting infectious diseases.
Having your pet spayed or neutered also helps to ensure that they will not contribute to the growing problem of pet overpopulation.
Your veterinarian can provide more information on these procedures as well as recommendations for the appropriate time and age to have your pet spayed or neutered.
By using a high quality cat litter you can more easily trap odors and your litter will last longer. A covered litter box will also contain more odors. Many also come with a filter to clean the air coming out of the box. They will also help reduce the amount of litter scattered on the floor around the litter box.
Feeding your cat super premium pet foods will also cut down on waste, since these foods are more highly digestible.
Tips for Guiding Kitty to the Litter Box:
Follow a few basic principles to train your new kitten or cat to use the litter box.
There are many different types of litter. Visit Accessories for a list of available brands, or visit one of our retail stores and a sales associate can help you find the best type of litter for you and your home!
Leaving your pet in a parked car can be dangerous.
On a warm day, the temperature in a parked car can reach 160 degrees in a matter of minutes, even with partially opened windows. With only hot air to breathe, your pet can quickly suffer brain damage or even die from heatstroke. Dogs and cats dissipate heat through the act of panting, they do not sweat like people do and are unable to signal when they are over-heating.
Signs of heat stress:
If your pet becomes overheated, you must lower his or her body temperature immediately! Get your pet in the shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over their body. Let your pet drink small amounts of water or lick ice cubes or ice cream. Bring your pet to a veterinarian right away, it could save their life.
Pets can also suffer from hypothermia if left in a parked car on a cold winter day.
In general, if you can't take your pet with you when you get out of the car, they are safer at home!

Family Business? Consider Your Succession Options
The statistics are very troubling. By the time the family business gets passed down to the third generation, over 70% will fail or be sold. Yet no matter how perilous the path of choice for so many family owned businesses may be, as if it is the only way, they pass the business to sons, daughters or their spouses to keep it in the family. They do this even if it means the end of the golden goose, and the implosion of the dream. They do this to be able to provide for their family and their descendants.
The first notion that must be exorcised is the entitlement trap: the fathers believing and the children also believing that this is theirs, no matter what. The fact that it belongs to the children whether or not they are capable is irrelevant. This entitlement has been part of the issue from the beginning. When the children are very young they are told, "this will be yours someday". This myth becomes part of the family culture and is a mistake. Better stated is that, "you will have an opportunity if you are prepared, adequately schooled and trained and have the capability of running the business after serving an apprenticeship".
In other words, yes there can be favoritism. But only if the children are capable will they succeed in the leadership plan. Far better to hire a manager to support the children in a meaningful way while they build their own careers and have the benefits of lifetime income, than to potentially destroy the business with inept leadership.
There must be proper education, training, possibly a required stint away from the family business as further training followed by an apprenticeship path within the business. If successful, this can end in the children taking leadership positions. This is a much better path, as opposed to entitlement.
Another trap is the need to employ all of the ever growing family members as they come of age or marry in. The opportunities are not endless, and the business may be able to support only one or two children and maybe one or two grandchildren while there may be 6 or more waiting their turn. It must be understood that the opportunities are limited. And while financial arrangements can be created out of retained earnings and profits, job opportunities are not endless and only those fit to lead in appropriate positions will have that opportunity. The others will enjoy benefits, but not employment. This also works.
The first priority is to provide economic support for your descendants. The second priority is to provide employment for those that can be and want to be employed. Continuing the line of ownership should not be confused with continuing the line of leadership unless it is done appropriately and with a plan that will work.
It is a trap for most family owned businesses. But it need not be if you know in advance what your priorities are and how to achieve them.

Joint Association Event
Elizabeth Rosenzweig
Co-Director of Outreach, UPA
An exciting event took place on January 13, 2004 at the Wong Auditorium at the MIT Tang Center at the MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Despite subzero temperatures in the Boston area, over 100 people from local chapters of Usability Professional's Association (UPA), ACM Special Interest Group for Computer Human Interaction (SIGCHI) and the New England Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (NEC-HFES) put on a joint event to kick off a new community service project.
The meeting was fun and energizing. Together, the three groups formed a community, with new connections being made between members, as well as reunions of old friends. The collective community all practiced the same type of work, and is concerned with product development that creates usable products. The energy the group created was what the planners had hoped for, a renewed sense of community, of people with common beliefs and practices, and a warm place to connect and network.
There were two takeaways from the meeting. The first was that the three chapters wanted to raise public to the importance of human factors and usability engineering in developing products. That this important work should not continue to be secondary considerations in product development and in fact, all users should know that their products should be workable and usable for them. In fact, that people should expect products to work that way.
This was demonstrated by the first speaker, Beth Loring of the Design & Usability Testing Center at Bentley College who spoke about a video piece she worked on that aired on ABC 20/20 news magazine on the usability of assembling toys and furniture, for the recent holiday gift giving season. The piece demonstrated how difficult those tasks were, and that companies were in fact, not really concerned about that usability aspect of the products. The piece was a wonderful example of gaining a spotlight and publicity for the issues of human factors and usability.
The second takeaway from the meeting was the community service project, its ability to give the three chapters a project to work together for a common goal. We know that times are still hard, and that now, especially when times are hard, it is important for us to come together, to form communities to help each other and those that have needs that we can help meet
The second speaker, was Richard Pew of BBN Technologies, who spoke about
a National Research Council Report that he was working on that explored
issues of adaptive aging through technology and the potential of recent
technological advances for improving the lives of the elderly.
This event was the beginning of a larger series of meetings and events
that will culminate on May 1, with volunteers from the three organizations
working together in teams with senior groups around the Boston area. The
specifics of the project are being defined, and I look forward to continuing
to connect to the new and energizing community.

With season over, Wolves' focus shifts to finding new parent club
BY SETH GRUEN For Sun-Times Media April 21, 2013 9:53PM
Chicago Wolves Vs Rockford Ice Hogs. Rockford IceHogs No.17 Brandon Bolling checks Chicago Wolves No. 21 Guillaume Desbiens. October 13, 2012 I Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Updated: April 21, 2013 10:16PM
The Wolves, who failed to advance to the AHL playoffs, finished their season with a 3-1 loss to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Sunday at Allstate Arena. Now that the team has concluded play, the front office might be entering its most exhaustive month of the year.
A two-year affiliate contract with the Vancouver Canucks ended Sunday, and Wolves general manager Wendell Young said the agreement will not be renewed.
So Young and the rest of the Wolves' executives are tasked with finding an affiliate for next season. Young said the search is down to two teams.
The deal needs to get done in a timely fashion because the Wolves have to begin the process of signing players for next season.
"We really have to see what our inventory is, and then we have to see what our affiliate is and see what they have in their inventory, and then we kind of go from there," Young said. "I can't sign a right winger if they've got five right wingers."
The expiration of the affiliate contract with the Canucks also means that the Wolves' coaching staff will not return next season. The coaches are employees of the Canucks.
It is unclear whether the Wolves' next affiliate contract will allow them control of the coaching staff or whether that will rest with the parent club. Regardless, it is an issue that can't be resolved until the team comes to an affiliate agreement.
For this year's Wolves team, which will be disbanded, it was a disappointing end to a season that once looked to have the potential for a deep run into the playoffs. The Wolves finished 37-30-5-4.
"This team was real tight and we won't be playing together as a group again" coach Scott Arniel said. "It would have been nice to get in the playoffs and try to have some success there."
The Canucks' prospects will remain together wherever they play, but the future of Wolves captain Darren Haydar remains in doubt.
"I don't if they're interested," said Haydar, 33, who was the team's top points producer with 20 goals and 37 assists in 71 games. "I love it here. The organization has been great to me and my wife."

Ald. Burke, Reilly urge library workers to forgo raise to avert Monday closing
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com January 10, 2012 7:36PM
Updated: February 12, 2012 8:19AM
A pair of powerful aldermen is urging Chicago public library employees to forfeit their 3.5 percent pay raise for 2012 to eliminate the all-day Monday closing of branch libraries that started earlier this week.
The surprise proposal by Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th), chairman of the City Council's Finance Committee, and Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd), vice-chairman of the Budget Committee, strengthens Mayor Rahm Emanuel's hand in the mayor's stand-off with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31.
Chicago's branch libraries were closed all day Monday for the first time in recent memory after the latest in a string of disputes between Emanuel and organized labor.
Emanuel accused AFSCME of blocking a scheduling change that would have averted the Monday closing — by closing libraries on Monday and Friday mornings — because they're using libraries as a "bargaining chip" to "achieve something else."
On Tuesday, Burke and Reilly joined the fray with a letter to Henry Bayer, executive director of AFSCME Council 31. In it, the aldermen noted that AFSCME's 3.5 percent pay raise for 2012 comes with a $1.6 million pricetag — enough to restore 120 or 65 percent of the 176 library employees who were laid off last week.
More important than saving jobs, that $1.6 million would allow the city to open libraries on Monday afternoons, restoring six days of library service, the aldermen wrote.
"We strongly urge you and your members to put on hold the pay raise for AFSCME library employees which, it should be noted, is one of the largest of any public employee pay raises. It would allow the city to keep libraries open six days a week in our communities, ensuring critical community anchors serve our residents and provide children a place to study and learn after the school day has ended," the letter states.
"We believe this must be part of the solution ... as opposed to rolling back the employee head tax reduction, as your union leadership has recently suggested. A reduction in this tax is essential to economic growth and job creation throughout Chicago and is not an option when our goal is to strengthen the city's economic future."
AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall welcomed the "exchange of ideas" on how to preserve library hours and rescind the 176 layoffs. But, he said, "We don't think the values reflected in this particular proposal — values that prioritize corporate tax cuts over fair pay for working people — are in step with most peoples' values."

Oregon State Motto - "She Flies with Her Own Wings"
Home /
Press Release: August 16, 2011
(SALEM, Ore.) — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber announced the approval of Oregon State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) application. The SSBCI funds will help create new private sector jobs and spur more than $165 million in additional small-businesses lending in Oregon. The SSBCI program, which supports state-level small-business lending programs, is an important component of the Small Business Jobs Act President Obama signed into law last fall.
"These funds will provide critical support to state-level programs that help expand small-business lending and spur private sector job creation," said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Neal S. Wolin. "Continuing to help unlock credit for small businesses will provide a powerful boost for investment and job creation in local communities across the country."
"Over 16,000 jobs have been created in Oregon this year, and we continue to use every tool available to get Oregonians back to work across the state," said Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber. "Access to capital is a critical issue for businesses ready to expand in Oregon, and the Small Business Jobs Act funds will help spur investment and job creation in both urban and rural communities."
Under the Small Business Jobs Act, Oregon can access $16.5 million in SSBCI funds. Oregon expects to generate a minimum "bang for the buck" of at least $10 in new private lending for every $1 in federal funding. As such, this $16.5 million allocation for Oregon is expected to support more than $165 million in new private lending in that state.
The Oregon Business Development Department will use these SSBCI funds to support the Oregon Capital Access Program, its Credit Enhancement Fund, a loan guarantee program, and the existing Oregon Business Development Fund, a loan participation program.
Under the State Small Business Credit Initiative, all states are offered the opportunity to apply for federal funds for state-run programs that partner with private lenders to increase the amount of credit available to small businesses. States must demonstrate a reasonable expectation that a minimum of $10 in new private lending will result from every $1 in federal funding. Accordingly, the overall $1.5 billion federal funding commitment for this program is expected to result in at least $15 billion in additional private lending nationwide.

I am staying in Guerneville with some friends this week. We already have plans to visit Russian River, Lagunitas, and Bear Republic, and we went to Stumptown last night for dinner. I also stopped at the Whole Foods in Santa Rosa yesterday on my drive up here, and it was totally worth the stop. By far the best craft beer bar & selection I have seen at a whole foods, plus they have a good selection of homebrew supplies. And they gave me a discount for my AHA membership to boot.
Aside from those, where should I be going for good beer while I'm here?
You've already hit my favorites in that area, but you can do some research on your own at the Beer Mapping Project.
Yah I think you've already named the classics... have fun!
You aren't terribly far from Anderson Valley Brewing.. They have a few very nice brews. That's well worth the trip.. You can take the coast route up and over.. or just head up 101 to Cloverdale and over.. either way it's a very nice trip. Mendocino Brewing isn't far up the road in Hopland. Red Tail Ale used to be a favorite.
Anchor steam, Speakeasy, and 21st Amendment is an hour and a half done 101.
Linden Street brewing is a fine lager joint in Oakland.
Primary:Farmhouse Triple, Simcoe Session IPA, 100% Brett Brux IPA
Conditioning: Willamette English Pale Ale
Thanks for the suggestions! That book suggestion really helped. It also turned out amazon.com was nice enough to let me just browse through all the relevant parts of the book on their website, because it wasn't in any of the bookstores I checked, and it would have arrived to late if I tried shipping it.
Didn't make it up to Anderson Valley, but I did make it to Hopmonk Tavern and Barley & Hops in addition to the aforementioned places...and probably a couple others that I cannot remember now. It was an great trip, and I had a ton of excellent beer, wine, and food while I was there. Now I need the rest of the weekend to recover.

Off and running by signing your name
The day after a holiday didn't deter some local politicians from getting a quick start on their campaigns for this fall.
Candidates for mayor and city or town councils — both incumbents and challengers — signed up to run for office Friday afternoon on the opening day of the filing period for this year's municipal elections.
In Thomasville, Mayor Joe Bennett filed for another term. Three candidates filed for City Council — incumbent Raleigh York Jr. and challengers Joe Leonard and Jason Varner. Thomasville voters will fill all seven council seats this fall.
In Wallburg, Mayor Allen Todd and Town Councilman Steve Yokeley filed for re-election. Residents of the northern Davidson County town will fill two council seats in the general election.
In Denton, Mayor Scott Morris filed for re-election. Voters of the southern Davidson County town also will pick two Town Council members.
On opening day for filing, one exception to the sprint to the board of elections office involved candidates for Trinity mayor and City Council. Voters this year will pick four of eight councilmembers as well as the mayor. No Trinity candidates filed Friday, though local observers expect a robust election campaign this fall.
The northern Randolph County city has been embroiled in a series of controversies dating back years. The most recent one surfaced in the past week when not enough Trinity elected officials showed up for a meeting on an important vote on budget amendments for the city's sewer system.
Municipal elections in Guilford, Davidson and Randolph counties are nonpartisan, meaning the party affiliation of the candidates won't appear on the ballot.
Candidate filing for this year's municipal elections began Friday and continues through noon July 19. The only exceptions are High Point and Archdale, which hold their elections for mayor and city council in even-numbered years.
For more information, call your local board of elections office:
Guilford County Board of Elections offices in Greensboro at 641-3836 or High Point at 641-7895
Randolph County, 318-6900
Davidson County, 242-2190

Pittsburgh N'at Shoot #2Cats: Pittsburgh N'at with Dave & Dave and Friends|
Day one of shooting went so well with Cathy and Stan, we're really looking forward to today's interview sessions. We've got three of our media friends lined up and they all work with us here at WQED!
First up, Minette Seate in WQED's studio B. That's the studio where they shoot "OnQ" every night. Minnie goes waaaay back with Dave & I, and of all the "friends" in this show, she's without a doubt our closest. Minette does a lot of stuff here at WQED like producing "Black Horizons," "OnQ" stories, and all kinds of shows, and we love working with her any chance we get. I've also never met a person who knows more people then her. We could be in a Mongolian restaurant in a suburb of Buffalo, and she'd know somebody at the next table! Yeah she's that cool.
Next up, we wind our way down to the edit room home of the one man who knows more about Pittsburgh than probably anybody else we know… Rick Sebak. This is the man who brought us such classics as "Kennywood Memories," "The Strip Show," and dozens more of those great programs that really showcase this region and the people who call it home. Dave & I have been lucky over the years to benefit from having a producer of Rick's caliber just down the hall… and we're lucky to have him in our show.
Our third and final interview of the day is our good pal Mr. McFeely (aka David Newell) from "Mister Rogers Neighborhood." Pittsburgh is made up of a myriad of neighborhoods but the one thing they all have in common is "Mister Rogers Neighborhood!" Dave & I grew up with him and I'm betting you did too. Sadly Fred himself is no longer with us, but McFeely (that was Fred Rogers' middle name), is and we're glad to have him as part of the show.
Okay so three more interviews in the can… things are starting to feel like a show! But lots more to come. – Dave H.

Well consider travelling 9 storeys into the air, swinging at up to 75 km/hr! Scared? Wait! It also spins 360 degrees. Dare yourself. The first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, The Claw is the most powerful pendulum on the planet is now the most terrifying talon in the world.
Themed to look like the prehistoric paw of a 3D rampaging velociraptor, The Claw propels adrenalin junkies nine storeys high, mercilessly swinging them back and forth at 64km per hour while twisting 360 degree full circles. Guests who dare to dice with the ten to two o'clock swing experience insane gravity hang time as they perch perilously close to the edge. But once they're harnessed, there's no escape as the floor retracts and they're in the clutches of The Claw.
Hold on tight. Dreamworld's fingernail-biting, spine-tingling, knee-knocking nightmare, The Claw, is the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
The new attraction complements the park's existing suite of scream machines including the Giant Drop, Tower of Terror, Buzzsaw, Shockwave, Mick Doohan's MotoCoaster, Cyclone Rollercoaster, Wipeout and The Claw.

(too much smoke for crowded Tokyo housings!)
Umm, Burned parts of meats and other flavor's harmony really stimulate appetite!

It's interesting to see what Americans use for food. I was typical Japanese who loves healthy and light taste. We usually don't prefer flavor's that much though, since I moved to the States, I've become a flavor addict! Flavor stimulates appetite. And glaze of oil! It can be beautiful. LOL I'm not fond greasy food that much, yet glaze of food really look good!

Anyway, you made me hungry now! :) Me and my husband should go back to your Inn for weekend bbq breakfast sometime soon. : )Applerikohttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486732971411880465.post-52394054028236192532010-06-11T17:54:45.810-07:002010-06-11T17:54:45.810-07:00Just made this tonight.

Oh Great, Now Debbie Riddle Can Play Angry Birds
It's hard to decide who my favorite oddball in the Texas Lege is each session, but Debbie Riddle bubbles to the top most of the time. Not only is she decidedly the meanest woman you ever met, I have often said that she could find a loophole in the law of gravity. Debbie invented the whole terror baby scare and once seriously said, "Where did this idea come from that everybody deserves free education, free medical care, free whatever? It comes from Moscow, from Russia. It comes straight out of the pit of hell." She also believes that children should starve to punish their parents.
And with Looney Leo Berman getting beat in the primary, the field narrows. Berman once appeared on CNN and said that he didn't believe that President Obama's long form birth certificate was not legit because "there is no plaque in the hospital where he was supposedly born." Leo will be missed.
Anyway, you wanna know what's worse than a fool? A fool with an iPad.
Each lawmaker's office in the Capitol will be offered two iPads for the session that begins Jan. 8. Each committee will get one, too. And the Legislature's website has been upgraded to be readable on mobile devices for members of the public wishing to track legislation or find out about where and when committees are meeting.
Now, I'm pretty sure that we can convince Debbie Riddle that iPads are a tool of the devil. And maybe teaching her to play games will keep her out of mischief.
And I, personally, am not too happy with spending money on iPads for a group of people who voted to cut $5 billion dollars from public education. But that's just me.

A report by the UK AIRPROX Board has concluded that a passenger aircraft preparing to land at Glasgow Airport, Scotland, had a near miss encounter with a UFO. The pilot and co-pilot of the Airbus 320 observed the 'ufo' pass some 300 feet beneath the aircraft and calculated the risk of collision as high. The incident which happened on December 2nd 2012, was reported to aviation authorities by the pilot thereby triggering an AIRPROX investigation. The Airbus was descending at 4,000 feet when the ufo, described as 'Blue and yellow in colour with a small frontal area' loomed ahead. The pilot dismissed the idea of it being a balloon.
The investigation was unable to determine what the Airbus encountered, but was able to reject the idea that it was any readily identifiable flying object as they would all have been discernible on radar with the possible exception of a glider (although they discount the idea of it being a glider as thermal currents were not conducive to gliding and no glider was known to be flying in the area).
A transcript of the Pilot talking to Air Traffic Control has been released;
A320: "Glasgow Approach [A320 C/S]"
EGPF: "[A320 C/S] pass your message"
A320: "Er yeah we just had something pass underneath us quite close [1255:30] and nothing on TCAS have you got anything on in our area"
EGPF: "Er negative er we've got nothing on er radar and we're n- not talking to any traffic either"
A320: "Er not quite sure what it was but it definitely er quite large [1255:40] and it's blue and yellow"
EGPF: "OK that's understood er do you have a an estimate for the height"
A320: "Maybe er [1255:50] yeah we were probably about erm four hundred to five hundred feet above it so it's probably about three and a half thousand feet."
Search action was initiated but nothing could be found or traced.
The Airprox report concluded: "Investigation of the available surveillance sources was unable to trace any activity matching that described by the A320 pilot. Additionally there was no other information to indicate the presence or otherwise of activity in the area."
The report said the Airprox board had been of the opinion that the object was unlikely to have been a fixed wing aircraft, helicopter or hot air balloon, given that it had not shown up on radar.
It was also thought that a meteorological balloon would be radar significant and unlikely to be released in the area.
A glider could not be discounted, the report said, but it was unlikely that one would be operating in the area because of the constrained airspace and the lack of thermal activity because of the low temperature.
Similarly, the board believed that a hang-glider or para-motor would be radar significant and that conditions precluded them, as they did para-gliders or parascenders.
The report stated: "Members were unable to reach a conclusion as to a likely candidate for the conflicting aircraft and it was therefore felt that the board had insufficient information to determine a Cause or Risk".

As promised, coverage of the Flowers Sea Swim. This year, the annual one mile swim was renamed the "Recovery Mile", as local companies donated all kinds of services to the "live free for a year" fund. Ten local families in all five districts of Grand Cayman were selected as being in need after Ivan. Three were drawn at random at the presentations after the race and will "live free for a year". This will also include year long coverage on local television and should prove to be a positive and uplifting story, the sort of thing we all need here. We are tough people, but we all need a little lift sometimes.
Anyway, to the swim. As it always seems to be for sea swims, it was a gorgeous day. Hundreds of swimmers set off from the Ritz Carlton beach, swimming North to the beach across the road from Courtyard by Marriott.
Whilst it was a typical hot and sunny summers day, a light ocean breeze took a little edge of the heat (as I was walking the course, I was happy for the breeze!).
After the race, all finishers waited around for the random prize drawing. 1 in 5 finishers won a prize…. including my two boys, including my 7 year old, who was the source of great amusement as he excitedly ran up to the stage to collect his… cellphone ! A 7 year old who had managed to finish a one mile sea swim, then got a cellphone ? His grin looked like his birthday and xmas rolled into one.
Anyway, a few photos :
Hundreds of swimmers blast off at the horn to start the race :
Swimmers took from 17 minutes to 70 minutes to finish, so they were well spread out along the course, keeping the safety marshals in boats, kayaks and on the beach alert.
Of course I am sure that the speech by the Leader of Government Business was scintillating, but I'm guessing most of the crowd were thinking (I hope I win a Cayman Airways ticket… or a cellphone)

Navy swamps UD
Navy's Keenan Reynolds completed 10 of 13 passes for a career-high 233 yards with two touchdowns, including a 63-yard strike to DeBrandon Sanders, leading the Midshipmen 51-7 over Delaware on Saturday.
Reynolds also ran for 109 yards on 15 carries. Sanders finished with 86 yards on three receptions, while Geoffrey Whiteside rushed for two touchdowns.
Navy (2-0) also forced three turnovers and amassed 591 yards on offense.
Navy has scored 92 points in its first two games.
The Midshipmen also beat Delaware (2-1) for the third consecutive time and improved to 10-7 in the series, first played in 1931.
Trent Hurley, who is one of 11 FBS transfers on the Blue Hens roster, was 17 for 25 for 152 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
It was the most points Delaware allowed since a 49-21 loss to Appalachian State in the Football Championship Subdivision title game in 2007.
