I recently moved back to the south suburbs with my young family. I decided to go to Lincoln Mall in Matteson and found it bare and practically stripped down. I was astonished at the lack of shopping options.
Our area can honestly boast about award-winning schools, safe neighborhoods and prestigious residents. There's no reason for the business exodus that's happening in the south suburbs.
The residents of Matteson and neighboring towns need to get together and Save Our South Suburbs. By keeping our dollars in our communities, we will create such a large demand that corporations will take our spending power seriously.
How many of you have iPhones? Where's the closest Apple store to your home? How about Victoria's Secret? Can we get a Kohl's? What happened to Old Navy?
Stop taking your hard-earned dollars and giving them to someone else's tax revenue. Support the vendors who support us, our families and our neighbors. Our communities just might be headed in the wrong direction. Save Our South Suburbs.

Reeder simplistic on pensions
This is in response to Scott Reeder's Jan. 11 column ("Time for Illinois to exit the pension business") in which he takes a very simplistic view of the state's pension crisis.
Reeder refers to a retired teacher's $91,692 pension and implies that a teacher doesn't deserve such a pension because it's more than "most Illinoisans can ever expect to make working."
A pension of $91,692 doesn't mean the teacher doesn't deserve it and doesn't mean the teacher hasn't earned it.
To look merely at the amount misses the point of this current pension crisis — state government promised certain pensions to its employees, failed repeatedly to fully fund their pension plans and now is planning to break its promise. It's all about trust!
The Legislature is saying, "Our desire to be re-elected is what's important and not what happens 20 years down the road."

Tighter gun laws not total answer
Regarding Dennis Gorecki's Jan. 11 letter, he writes that states with strict gun laws have the least number of gun deaths. Perhaps, but that's not the case in Illinois where Chicago is close to being the murder capital of the country despite having some of the most strict gun laws.
Assault guns and multi-round clips should be banned, except perhaps for collectors who must strictly obey regulations on them. But tighter gun laws alone won't dramatically reduce gun violence.
Let's look at addressing some of the other causes, such as people with psychological problems being able to obtain guns and the growth in violent games and movies.
When I saw the movie "The Hobbit" recently, there were many children in the audience and five violent movies were advertised in the previews.

We did a little wine tasting yesterday at Lafond Winery - enjoyed the wines, but I really loved a spread they offered, and I don't usually "do" feta. The cheese was very soft, and I know there was olive oil and garlic, and I think spinach in there, but does anybody have a recipe for me? TIA :-)

Here is a link that might be useful: Lafond Winery
Follow-Up Postings:
Becky I make a feta spread using my Spanikopita recipe as a base. No Garlic but you could add it if you wished. Actually I think I will omit the nutmeg and use garlic, maybe roasted garlic, next time. Thanks for the idea. Spanikopita Spread/Dip 3/4 lb feta Combine the three cheeses and process in the food processor until creamy, doesn;t take much. Add olive oil, spinach, and spices and give a qick whir to blend but don't over process (if using garlic add add this point). Add chopped dill and give a very quick whir or blend by hand with a wooden spoon. |
Thanks Chase! This'll give me someplace to start. Once I started to dig into recipes a little, I'm wondering if perhaps the cheese wasn't a French Montrachet rather than Feta. It was very soft, and not as "goaty" (for lack of a better term LOL) as most Feta seems to be. I'm going over to Solvang tomorrow and will have the chance to buy some nice cheeses while I'm there, so will be experimenting over the weekend - thanks again :-) Becky |

We were going to use our existing Grohe shower components in our new bath, but came into an unexpected small windfall and purchased the Kohler DTV system, new shower heads (fixed & hand-held) and slidebar. Now we find that Kohler does not make a soap holder that attaches to the slidebar. We just assumed that everyone made such an item.
We could buy a "free standing" soap dish and put it in the shower niche, which is at the other end of the shower stall -- about 65" long. But we'd really prefer a soap holder on the slidebar, because it keeps the soap from getting soft and mungy, The Grohe soap dishes fit either a 1" or a 1 1/8" slidebar; our Kohler is 7/8" in diameter. The folks at the local Kohler showroom which also sells Grohe say that we can't fit one on the other. Does anyone know of a company that makes these or of some way to retrofit a Grohe 1" dish onto a Kohler bar (model 8524). Thanks in advance for the ideas. |

The dengue epidemic has beaten all other contractible diseases recording the highest number of patients for 2012 so far, Health reports indicated.
It noted that up to December 28 this year, 42,799 dengue cases have been reported.
Of the total, a percentage of 46.92 is reported from the Western Province with Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara recording the highest figures.
Health sources said with rains setting in again, the epidemic was likely to loom large causing more patients in January 2013.
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry has planned to spray the BTI bacteria from the air in March 2013 to combat the spread of dengue mosquitoes.
The Ministry has pointed out that the months from March to May was the period that the dengue epidemic had hit high in recent years.

The Package
At the last minute Sapphire had actually slightly changed the box art to the HD 4890, so for this reason we've used one of their own shots. The general design is nothing new as we've been seeing this kind of box art from Sapphire for a while. Across the top we have the Sapphire logo, some other logos and a mention that the card has 1GB of GDDR5 memory, while across the bottom we have the model listed.
In the middle of the box we have a picture of a girl, while moving over we see the fueled by Sapphire logo along with a tagline and to the right we have a run down on some of the main features that are implemented on the card such as GDDR5 memory, HDMI, 800 streaming processors and more.
Turning the box over, Sapphire has expanded on the features along with giving us a run down on some of the product highlights and a mention of what's in the box. Like the front of the box, we have the logos across the top and the model again down the bottom.
Diving inside the package, we see in true Sapphire style that we've got a bit more than just the standard manual and driver CD. Apart from these we have 3DMark Vantage along with CyberLink PowerDVD and CyberLink DVD Suite. We can also see that we have a little sticker included in the package that you can place on your case.
Looking at the cables, we've got everything we need to get up and running; two molex to PCI-E 6-pin connectors, S-Video to RCA, Crossfire bridge, DVI to VGA and DVI to HDMI connector as well as a component out dongle.

Best Parking in LoDo Denver 2005 - Wewatta St. between 16th and 19th streets
Readers' Choice: Writer Square parking garage
The construction of Wewatta Street in the Platte Valley from 15th Street to Park Avenue West is finally complete, making it the best parking in LoDo. The hordes have yet to find this convenient oasis, which, at the moment, remains meter- and pay-kiosk-free. Just pull over, step out, walk across the Union Station light-rail platform and hop the 16th Street Mall shuttle to your drinking destination. Or you can enjoy the evening while strolling along 16th Street: Wewatta is just one block from Wynkoop Street. The strip between 16th and 19th streets has a two-hour-parking restriction until 10 p.m., but local nightlife doesn't get started until after 10, anyway. And there's no street sweeping after 2 a.m., so if your night is a little too eventful, feel free to leave your car and take a cab.

Tim's lemon trickle mash cake
The idea for this lovely, moist cake came from Elena Wong on our production team. It's best made with leftover whole potatoes, which you've mashed or, even better, riced once cold. If you're intending to make it with leftover mash, make sure it doesn't contain too much butter, milk, cream – or any flavourings such as mustard.
Eggy bready pudding with rhubarb compote
This is really a bread and butter pudding done with breadcrumbs instead of slices of bread, and it's much easier to make. You can serve it, like rice pudding, with jam (very tart jams such as plum or raspberry are best) - or, best of all, with stewed/roasted rhubarb or plums.

On Friday, January 6, 2012 there will be a marathon of Dinothunder episodes on Nicktoons. Which will be the first time DinoThunder has been on TV in quite some time. Nicktoons recently aired a Nicktoons marathon of Jungle Fury back in November.
When it was first announced that Power Rangers Samurai was to air on Nicktoons....It was also announced that all 700 episodes of the series was going to air on Nicktoons. But once Samurai debuted there was no mention of reruns starting to air. The Jungle Fury Marathon and now this DinoThunder Marathon are Nick's first forays into using the full Power Rangers library.
Power Rangers has the scoop and the marathon schedule

Power Rangers has been on Neflix for the past several months. Anyone with a netflix streaming account can stream every episodePower Rangers from their computers, Roku Box, XBox, and other streaming devices.
Originally, only MMPR-RPM was available. The first 20 episodes or so of Samurai has since been added. With Super Samurai presumably being added sometime after the second half of the 19th season ends.
VR Troopers and Beetleborgs is also available on Netflix. Indicating that Saban Brands re-aquried those brands from Disney.
Go to Netflix to sign up and stream.
On Dec. 20, 2011, Dan Ewing pleaded not guilty on the assualt charged filed against him in the alleged assualt of his fiancee, Marni Little.
The alleged incident is said to have happened on Dec. 6. Where Ewing is accused of assualty Little at their apartment. Little has publically denyed any assualt has happened. The couple ( who are currently engaged) remain together
Ewing is currently a star of the New Zealand Series, Home and Away. But is best known to Power Rangers fans for protraying Dillion in Power Rangers RPM. His next court appearance is scheduled for January 31, 2012.

Since we are starting fresh. I think its important to at least mention some of the major things that have happened since the last news update. Even if we don't get them all. Many of them are obvious for people following.
Samurai's first season has wrapped up. With the episodes now available on Netflix. The second part of the season will be called Super Samurai. Antonio is the Sixth Ranger. We got a team up with RPM. Albit just using the morphed Red Ranger. The fandom learned that Amit Bhaumik, Former Story Editor of Wild Force and webmaster of Power Rangers Online Archives, is back on the writing staff as a consultant.
After Samurai the next season of Power Rangers will be called Megaforce. But probably won't air until sometime late in 2012.
This is all stuff that has been reported else where. So its no scoop
Sites like Rangerboard, Rangercrew, and Spandex Report are great places to track this information down if you are looking for the actual sources.

This is a loose powder foundation with sunscreen that's best for oily, sensitive skin. It contains high amounts of the sunscreen actives titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (this likely provides more protection than SPF 45, but as with any powder you'd really have to apply a lot to get the stated amount of protection) while the base formula has a light, smooth, and dry texture without a obvious shine.
This sheer powder is dispensed from a cylindrical component onto a built-in powder brush. The brush isn't the softest, but works to apply this loose powder evenly while minimizing mess. The powder goes on sheer and translucent, and does a good job of keeping oily shine at bay. It's a good way to add to your daily sun protection, even if you're just touching up to tone down shine.
As for the peptides and antioxidants this contains, they're a nice touch but it's questionable as to how stable they'll be in a powder base. They're not bad additions to this product and in fact they may offer anti-aging benefits (the sunscreen does that for sure) but just how much is up for debate.
Works immediately to block out the sun's harmful UVA/UVB infrared rays to help prevent sunburn, skin damage, freckling & uneven discoloration.
Active: Titanium Dioxide (20.50%), Zinc Oxide (19.75%) Other: Corn (Zea Mays) Starch, Silica, Maltodextrin, Glycerin, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Stearic Acid, Aluminum Hydroxide, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Polymethyl Silsequioxane, Glycolic Acid, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Water, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propyparaben, Isobutylparaben May Contain: Titaniumdioxide, Iron Oxides
Unique in the world of spa and salon specialty lines, Peter Thomas Roth is a large but straightforward line with mostly uncomplicated formulations that, for the most part, are quite good and state-of-the-art. Unlike many product lines, most of the acne, AHA, BHA, sunscreen, and moisturizing products contain what they should to be effective and helpful for skin.
A novel aspect of this line is that there are few (if any) nonsense ingredients. Roth products conspicuously lack the exotic, potentially irritating, sensitizing, and often unnecessary plant extracts and the irritating, fragrant plant oils that show up in most pricey skin-care lines, especially spa lines. Many of these products don't have fragrance, and they lack the long lists of ingredients that are often unnecessarily complicated. Even more impressive are the well-formulated cleansers, sunscreens, AHA products, and skin lighteners. The moisturizers have improved somewhat, and most are now packaged so that the light- and air-sensitive ingredients remain stable. In fact, Roth's packaging deserves special mention because it is exceptionally utilitarian and gender-friendly. No pretty pink bottles, sexy curved jars, or bejeweled caps—all of which reinforce the clinical nature of Peter Thomas Roth. Overall, this line should be admired for its simplicity and, for the most part, for its well-thought-out formulations.
After all that glowing praise there are a few embarrassing missteps to avoid, such as products that contain hydrogen peroxide, which can cause free-radical damage and hurt skin; irritating acne products that contain sulfur; unimpressive masks (odd for a spa-oriented line); and a bumper crop of products claiming to affect expression lines and wrinkles in a manner similar to cosmetic corrective procedures.
For more information about Peter Thomas Roth, call (800) PTR-SKIN or visit www.peterthomasroth.com.
It's THE product I was waiting for !!! I use sunscreen on a daily basis from march to october, but I still haven't found the perfect one ; always too oily, too white, or too pore blocking (even the non oily ones)... I have ordered the PC Clear liquid sunscreen, and waiting with impatience to try it, but, this is a transparent powder to re-apply on top of make up, so, there's NO EQUIVALENT.

Meeting to Help Neighborbood Find Its Identity
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--A Cedar Rapids neighborhood is holding a first of its kind meeting.
The Wellington Heights Neighborhood Association wants to strengthen its identity.
At first glance Wellington Heights is just like any neighborhood.
"One of the biggest hurdles we're facing right now is a perception issue," said Justin Wasson, President of the Wellington Heights Neighborhood Association.
But work is being done through various projects to show that it is a safe place to live; now they are bringing it all together through a brand platform.
"It's an opportunity for residents of Wellington Heights to come out and talk about what they want for the community. What's the vision for the community, how do they want to see their community look," said Dorice Ramsey of the Jane Boyd Community House.
It's all thanks to the City of Cedar Rapids.
They are working with a marketing firm to help hold an identity meeting for some neighborhoods.
"What we're really doing is helping them identify what they want to be known for and then help market that particular point of view," said Mark Mathis, Chief Strategy Officer of Amperage.
The purpose is to identify the strengths of the area and help create a brand and direction for the neighborhood association.
"So it will help attract other people to the neighborhood. A lot of people say you don't buy a home, you buy a neighborhood so how do you talk about your neighborhood how you market it to other people," Mark said, creating a more defined purpose for the community.
"When you define your purpose it's just easier to act on it and find ways to improve the area, said Wasson.
The meeting is set for tonight at six, at the Paul Engle building.
It's open to anyone in the neighborhood who wants to offer input.

Well, I did it again. My big plumeria by the back door was in need of another major pruning. Here's what it looked like prior to the cold snap we just had. After the cold snap, it looked like this. After pruning, it now looks like this. Got quite a few cuttings though. Thirty-four to be exact. |
Follow-Up Postings:
WOW! Is this the right time of year for pruning/cuttings...I guess depends on your area...I prune in Ca. in late March...you must be lucky..roxanne |
HEy quaguy, Those are some MASSIVE cuttings. Looks likr you have some excellent new plumeria there in the making! What kind of plumeria is it? Good luck with your cuttings! I'm jealous!! Andrew |
Looks like an instant replay !!! Did you get your helper this year? Looks like their lined up just like Jen's work. It sure didn't take long to over grow again. Good job. You sure have a forest in the making. Peg |

Hi T.. It seemed like "yesterday" when you pruned this beauty!! I remembered this beauty from pics that Jen posted and they were just beautiful.. My trees will hopefully bloom next year and somehow i was thinking that it coukd possibly be a VV? Vera Verde? I had another tree that was mislabeled from a vendor in Florida. It was labeled Aztec gold and it was something more beautiful than that. Your pics and the one that i had from this mislabeled looked the same and Brad as well as Dewaine called it a possible VV. The original tree was from your area and i was wondering if you had heard of your tree possibly being that variety? Mine is labeled T's beauty!!! I think Peg calls her that too! Mahalo!! I hope your trees are feeling better from that awful cold snap that you all had.. I agree with you that the leaves protected your tips and that may have saved you trees from more damage. Thinking of you and hoping that you had a wonderful Christmas!! I know how you love to decorate your home and open it to guest and others to share in the beauty!!! Did you particape in the tour this year? YOU take care and i am so glad that you did your trimming.. She looks wonderful and im sure you will be blessed with plenty of gorgeous blooms!!! Did Jen come over this year? I miss her... Please tell her i said hello!!! Thanks T. HI Rox!!! Hi Peg,, ANd HI ANDREW!!! ;-) Take care, Laura |
When my plant needs pruning...seems like annually now...I usually prune in mid-Jan to mid-Feb. The frost we got just coincided with the normal times. The plant is about as dormant as it gets. Don't know what variety the plant is. It does kinda look I just did a google image search on Vera Verde and the most No helper this year. I haven't seen or heard from Jen lately.

Wow- I too remember when you trimmed that beauty! Time sure does fly.... What will you do with all your cuttings? Looks nice and ready to grow like crazy again! :) Chuy |
Cuttings will go to a nursery in Pasadena. I trade the cuttings for vegetable starts (mostly tomatoes). I will probably announce their availability to the folks I will have some restrictions. I'm not going to go to I'll probably make the recipients send me a box with |

Hi T!!! This is a great thread!!! i have just searched like Jen mentioned ( HI JEN!!! ) ;-) Your original thread popped up and i loved looking at your pics. Soooo beautiful!! Really enjoyed following the trimming of this gorgeous tree. Thanks for the email.. i'll be back to you about the info.. I also find this really fascinating!! Things here at my house have been very hectic since my DH had a complete knee replacement.. "nurse Ratchett" has been very busy!! ;-) My email has been backed up and i did read your info.. When i had posted last summer of my mislabeled IR, i had also posted a pic to the FPS asking their opinion about a possible ID. That is when i had a few people say that it looked like Via Verde. Knowing that it can't be called the named variety since it isnt a true cutting from a nammed tree and it is really a Noid from a nursery from Florida (Plumeria Gallery) Don't get me started about that!!! LOL.... Anyway, it looked so much like yours and i had some experts ( Dewaine and Brad from BBB) tell me that it looked like VV. So i tagged my mislabeled tree "Hopeful VV" Jen was great about the proper name.. Thanks Jen!!! Thank You T for always being so generous and kind to me and everyone here on this forum!! Your cuttings are doing great.. Glad to hear you are well.. I will have to send Jen (labland) a shout and see if she is doing alright. Sounds like your home was decorated beautifully for CHristmmas.. always nice to hear comments from your neighbors. What a nice feeling to hear them talking about your home. I need to find a pic of mine and then it would be fun to post a pic of yours.. Love to see the connection and the possibility of your findings with the Via Verde tree. Jen did keep all of your cuttings last year in great shape.. looks like your "loot" on the table looks nice and organized too! Great job!! Have a wonderful night. Now you have me thinking of blooms.. We are expecting snow tomorrow. Only a dusting expected tho.. Cheers... Wishing I was in sunny CA!!! Have a great night everyone!!! Laura |

Hey, Laura! Long time, no see! Hope DH's knee is doing better--ouch, what a thing to deal with. I'm sure he'll be out there playing tennis soon ;) Btw, I think I'll have something here for you in a couple of months, something special. Keep in touch! Jen |
Hello qaguy, I live in the great SF bay area, CA and have started growing sub tropicals recently. I have 2 guavas, arabian jasmine, ixora & curryleaf plant. I am wowed by your plumeria & equally wowed by the cuttings. The plant looks amazing & healthy and so much bigger than the one my dad is growing in India. Would love to get a cutting from you if you still have one to spare. My email is nv_here@hotmaildotcom Thanks, |

Hi T!!! Wanted to say that those pics do look the same.. Whatever the name, You have one beautiful tree! Jen (TX) Hope you are doinng well with the new job. Always nice to hear from you too! You are so sweet... Thank you!! I would be more than grateful.. DH Is ready to jump in the ocean right now.. ;-) This is one painful operation. Just a reminder to stay healthy and be careful with your knees!! I am now an RN..LMAO!! Don't ask him for any references tho!! ;-) YOU take good care and give your little one a extra hug!!

General Discussion
Autoimmune blistering diseases are a group of disorders in which the body mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, causing blistering lesions that primarily affect the skin and mucous and membranes. In autoimmune blistering diseases, antibodies mistakenly attack proteins that are essential for the layers of skin to stick (adhere) together. The specific symptoms and severity of blistering diseases vary from one person to another, even among individuals with the same disorder. In some cases, blistering lesions can cover a significant portion of the skin. Although there is no cure for autoimmune blistering diseases, they can often be controlled with treatment. In other cases, autoimmune blistering diseases if left untreated can eventually cause life-threatening complications. In recent years, new insight into the causes and development of these disorders has led to research into new therapies such as the development of drugs that target the specific antibodies which cause the symptoms of these diseases. NORD has individual reports on many of the specific disorders classified as autoimmune blistering diseases.

Man accused of
choking woman
BENNINGTON A local man was ordered held without bail after being accused of choking a woman.
Bobby L. Nelson, 49, pleaded innocent this week in Bennington criminal court to felony counts of second-degree aggravated domestic assault and first-degree aggravated domestic assault, and a misdemeanor charge of violating his conditions of release.
Bennington Police Officer Thalia Hudson said a woman on Applegate Drive told her early Sunday that Nelson had choked and punched her.
Hudson said the womans neck was red and swollen.
The woman said Nelson accused her of injuring his 7-year-old daughters hand earlier in the day, leading to an argument in which Nelson choked her and punched her in the mouth and jaw, Hudson wrote.
According to the affidavit, Nelson admitted to choking the woman but said it was in response to her trying to strangle him first.
Nelson has nine felony convictions and 11 misdemeanor convictions in Vermont. He was convicted of domestic assault in 2003.
Nelson said at his arraignment Monday that the allegations werent true. He asked for a hearing as soon as possible on whether he would continue to be held without bail.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full StoryPolice are looking for a hit-and-run driver.

15 June 2010
Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE, titled by the Guinness Book of Records as "The World's Greatest Living Explorer" will be visiting the University on 15 June to deliver a public lecture, commemorating the centenary of Captain Scott's Antarctic expedition.
Due to an unprecedented level of interest, tickets are no longer available for this event but, to accommodate the popularity of the lecture, the University will be streaming it live across the web. The lecture begins at 7.45pm and viewers can watch it live at www.cardiff.ac.uk/fienneslecture.
The lecture, entitled "Living Dangerously: In the genre of Captain Scott", marks the start of a series of lectures organised by the University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences to celebrate the anniversary of Scott's epic expedition.
Sir Ranulph is well-known for a series of record-breaking expeditions with Charles Burton, including being the first to reach both Poles, the first to cross the Antarctic and Artic Ocean, and the first to circumnavigate the world along its polar axis.
Sir Ranulph's lecture also forms part of the Hadyn Ellis Distinguished Lecture Series, which marks a fitting tribute to the memory of Professor Hadyn Ellis CBE DSc (1945-2006), formerly Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University.
This is the third lecture in the series, following Mary Robinson, former Irish President, in 2008 and Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director of Forum for the Future, in 2009.
On 15th June 1910, the SS Terra Nova and Captain Robert Falcon Scott's British Antarctic Expedition sailed from Cardiff, bound for Antarctica to undertake the historic and ultimately tragic journey to the South Pole.
To help commemorate 100 years since the ill-fated expedition to the Antarctic and particularly the links with Cardiff, the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences has organised a series of public lectures and school activities throughout 2010/11.
The Earth and Ocean Science Scott Series, which starts on 12 October 2010, will see a number of high-profile guest speakers from the world of polar exploration and scientific research visiting the University over the course of the next twelve months. More information on the Series can be found at www.cardiff.ac.uk/events.

Jamie Oliver's sugar bus…
April 18, 2011
Jamie is doing it again – stay with this series, we can change the school lunch program; it takes some will & volunteers in each district – what if every parent spent an hour a week helping with the cafeteria cooks to build
their child's lunch from fresh local REAL food? Revolution! I hope you see this show soon... -Annie PS My daughter was totally influenced by school food...wasn't yours?
GMO – just say NO!
April 10, 2011
Addicted to GMO?…the word is now out – GMO foods are bad for us medically as well as making things tough for organic farmers, destroying our bee population, our seed diversity & a host of other sins. The years of banging drums in the dark are over…it can be stated in public that GMO corn & soy are slowly killing us. Of
course, the warnings have been loud & clear for awhile – the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, Union of Concerned Scientists, Huffington Post, Institute for Responsible Technology, and others have been trying to get our attention. But, the seeming need in our recession for more & cheaper food has outweighed the information & the public airwaves ignore this subject.
Recent testing in Europe ..by feeding normal diet of these "foods" – caused liver & kidney damage in lab rats – and as we know from years of this type of testing, the effects on humans are almost parallel! By reviewing data from 19 animal studies, Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini and others reveal that 9% of the measured parameters, including blood and urine biochemistry, organ weights, and microscopic analyses (histopathology), were significantly disrupted in the GM-fed animals. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes. The liver of females followed, with 30.8%. The report, published in Environmental Sciences Europe on March 1, 2011, confirms that "several convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GMO diet effects." The authors point out that livers and kidneys "are the major reactive organs" in cases of chronic food toxicity. The Institute of Responsible Technology has lots more to say…take a peek!
So note your food source…Kids – this means Fritos, McDonald burgers & fries, sodas, and almost all sweetened corporate foods. So – how much do we need to know in order to quit this addiction?
We could list the newer GM foods & the ones coming on line soon, just to get more worried…GM Salmon, GM Alfalfa, and even GM Wheat! But – let's stay focused on the big boys…Monsanto's own seeds into eternity…our field corn & soy…and I know we can find alternatives to chips & sodas!
Just say NO to GMO! It's fun & easy – get your
self some organic cornmeal, make tortillas with your kids have a fun & clean meal your garden &
the local Farmer's market can provide. It won't cost much today & You will save money at the hospital later.

He's The One! Rubber Duckie Joins The Toy Hall Of Fame
By Mark Memmott
Originally published on Thu November 7, 2013 2:27 pm
Saying that "one toy stretches our gray matter; the other expands our sense of childhood wonder," the National Toy Hall of Fame announced Thursday that its 2013 inductees are the game of chess and the rubber duck.
This year's finalists that didn't make it into the Rochester, N.Y., hall:
The game of Clue
Fisher-Price Little People
Little green Army men
Magic 8 Ball
My Little Pony
Nerf toys
The scooter
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
All of the hall's honorees are posted here.
We've written about the hall before. Yes, we're still hoping for sidewalk chalk to get in.
Also, with Rubber Duckie in the hall how can they leave out Ernie (and Bert, of course)?

It's no secret that as health care costs continue to rise and insurance providers relentlessly apply pressure to bring costs down, one of two things is bound to happen:
In 1993 alone, healthcare workers made 458 million visits to some six million people at a cost of over $30 billion dollars or about $70 to $80 per house call. Much of this cost was covered by federally funded Medicare and Medicaid dollars. Other examples of possibly avoidable high costs in healthcare involve patients at rural hospitals needing transportation to metro hospitals for case review by physician specialists not available in the rural areas. Nursing home patients being sent by ambulance to an emergency department for physician evaluation is another example. Unnecessary utilization of ambulances, helicopters, and planes as transportation for patients from home, work, or remote locations to the emergency department, for evaluation of minor health needs due to lack of physician availability on sight to accurately advise on treatment, also greatly contributes to our nation's healthcare cost burden.
The technologies employed in all of these scenarios are variations on a common theme: Transportation of the patient or the doctor to the same location for the provision of hands on medical care. An emerging technology that may circumvent some of these unnecessary costs, especially the massive costs of medical transportation, involves the use of a multimedia communications platform that can be deployed remotely or even in a mobile manner. This emerging technology is Telemedicine. The technology rests on the simple idea of transferring information instead of patients.
Telemedicine allows for a virtual communication, using real–time audiovisual information transmitted over, between a patient and a physician at two different sites. Use of this technology has the potential to dramatically reduce the cost of providing healthcare. By changing the way patients are treated, from the traditional methods of in person care to remote care, telemedicine may also improve healthcare access to areas where it was essentially not available in the past. It is easy to see how telemedical technology can be implemented to provide routine patient house calls and even provide healthcare in remote areas, such as to a North Sea oil platform, an Antarctic expedition, a battle field, or a remote Pacific Island.
One aspect of this technology is aimed at treating the chronically ill and/or elderly patients who live at home but require regular medical check-ups for vital signs and medications. The technology encompasses communication (via telephone line, ISDN/ADSL, Satellite, or Cable TV), modem/data terminating device, customized PC computer nurse/physician work stations and roll about patient carts complete with data collection capabilities. The patient set up includes a PC based data collection cart that collects the data in the patient's home and transmits it via the communications line real time to the base station. For example, American TeleCare's Personal Telemedicine System lets healthcare providers, using two way interactive systems at centralized work stations, virtually walk patients at home through simple tests, including blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiratory rate checks. There are numerous other types of data that can be transmitted using telemedicine as well, including x-rays, real time interactive images of catheter sites and wounds, electrocardiograms. Telemedicine technology may also be used to assist patients with medication administration.
Another version of this technology is exemplified by a system called Dosing Partners. Dosing Partners is an in-home medication monitoring and intervention service made by the Aprex division of Apria Healthcare in Silicon Valley. This system provides healthcare providers with information via phone lines on how often patients are taking their prescribed medications. A device called a SmartCap collects the data using a prescription medication bottle cap fitted with a computer chip that records the exact time a bottle is opened. The SmartCap device also provides visual and audible reminders to the patient at the prescribed dosage intervals. At night the patient places the cap on a Homelink modem that reads the information from the cap and transmits it. Tests have shown that this system can increase patient compliance with prescribed medications, helping to prevent many of the previously avoidable visits to the hospital.
According to Telemedicine Today, the typical interactive equipment costs from $3,000 to $8,000 per nursing station, and $4,500 per patient unit. Transmission charges run at least $20/hour depending on the communications speed and methodology.
Key Applications
Teleradiology- transmits patient images, including plain film x-rays, CT scans, and so on at high speed across communication lines for remote consults and additional expertise.
Telephone Triage- provides healthcare professionals with real time audiovisual data including a patient's vital signs and pertinent history and physical exam data to assist emergency medical service personnel along side the patient with medical care while in remote locations or in transit to the hospital.
Remote Consultations- gives physicians practicing in rural locations the ability to tap into databases at large metro areas and consult with referral hospital specialists using audio-visual information from the patient's bedside.
Electronic Housecalls- facilitates the remote monitoring, routine testing, diagnosis, and treatment of patients within their own home.
Distance Learning- provides a multimedia meeting room for continuing medical education for healthcare professionals without having to travel to central sites.
Major Players/Users
Due to the high costs associated with deploying telemedicine technology its major users are primarily confined to large teaching hospitals, teaching institutions, prominent hospital systems, and the governments of various nations including the United States. The US Military has spent millions of dollars to develop what it calls "telepresence surgery" to put medical experts essentially on the front lines in MASH units and so on. Systems have already been used successfully at the Mayo Clinic, the University of North Carolina, the University of California at Davis, and the Abbott Northwestern Hospital. The basic technology needed for a telemedicine system has been around since the 1960's. As long ago as 1968, the Massachusetts General Hospital used a system to remotely staff the airport medical facility. Large health maintenance organizations (HMO's) like Health Partners in Minneapolis, Minnesota and large insurance companies have also vested an interest in the eventual successful deployment of such cost cutting technology.
Telemedical technology is provided from three major areas within the Information Technology industry:
Future Viability
Reimbursement issues will play a key role in the development of home based and mobile Telemedicine systems. Given its relatively high cost, most patients will not have the financial capability to afford the service as an out of pocket expense. Thus, reimbursement will depend largely on the healthcare insurance industry's acceptance of the technology. During its initial deployment, services provided by telemedical systems were not covered by Medicare/Medicaid insurance. This lack of insurance coverage has severely limited deployment beyond the trial stages. It's not a viable technology until the government and private health insurers anoint it as such.
The first step toward correcting this stumbling block has been made by the federal government enacting new legislation requiring the Health Care Financing Administration to reimburse rural providers for telemedicine consultations. The legislation was signed in late July of this year and requires HCFA to develop a payment methodology and begin reimbursing for the service by January 1, 1999. The provision will yield and estimated $100 million to $200 million annually in Medicare payments. This payment scheme, although far from complete, will provide some additional steam in getting further development, deployment, and equipment cost reductions implemented.
Another emerging source of funding for telemedicine involves the modernization of healthcare systems in lessor developed countries using telemedical systems to link with medical experts in the US, Japan, and Europe. A Malaysian firm called Tongkah Holdings Bhd recently entered into a joint venture agreement with the US firm WorldCom Ltd. to provide expert medical consultation by US physician using telemedicine. British Telecommunications has also entered into the market of providing telemedical services to smaller countries in need of expert medical advice. Oceania nations including The Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau are implementing systems for the delivery of telemedicine and other telecommunications services via satellite through a recently formed a cooperative with Orion Network Systems, Inc.
The degree that telemedicine emerges beyond its current state and the extent of its market penetration within the US will primarily depend on how the insurance companies and HMO's view the technology. The applications are limitless for high bandwidth multimedia in the healthcare environment. But with reimbursement issues remaining in question, and the dollars controlled by the insurance companies, what individuals and health care providers select as the best treatment option may not be what they get. In the meantime, the market will probably remain in the $100-200 million a year range and lie primarily in large research oriented academic teaching hospitals and overseas with developing nations.
The paradox here is the group holding up the development and deployment of this technology is the same group that has the most money to gain by implementing it. Given this scenario, the future of telemedicine is not held up by technology but the governors of the healthcare market place and the dollars that flow within it.

Jennifer Aniston — Before She Was Famous (PHOTOS)
Jennifer Aniston wasn't always the sexy Hollywood blond who attracted the likes of Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux -- and we've got proof.
Celebuzz has obtained a pile of pictures showing the 43-year-old Just Go With It star during her years at Rudolf Steiner School in New York, circa the early 1980s -- way before she had women all over America asking their hairdressers for "The Rachel."
And speaking of hair...
The actress sported some 'dos that may look cringe-worthy today but surely rocked the house party back in the Eighties. Also on display: an adorably fuller face and Aniston's trademark smile.
So just how important was the future superstar's time at the school?
Put it this way: if it weren't for Rudolf Steiner, fans may have never had a best Friend and so much more.
"I was always fascinated by acting, but my experience [there] encouraged me to pursue it as a career," she once said. "Steiner was a free-spirited school that encouraged creativity and individualism."
What do you think of Aniston's transformation? Click through the gallery, then share your thoughts in the comment section.
Aniston has dated quite the array of Hollywood hotties through the years. Get the full breakdown in this video below.

Faith Sigal Jacobson
A few people have asked why we waited to name her so here is the story.
Boys are named at their bris (circumcision) on the 8th day. Its not forbidden to announce the name before the bris but in a metaphysical sense the child only 'receives' his name during the ceremony at his bris.
The naming of a Jewish girl is a very spiritual moment. The naming ceremony is linked to the public reading of the Torah. This is usually on a Monday, Thursday or Saturday morning. The blessing begins with a prayer for the mother's health. It continues with the giving of the baby's name and a prayer that this new Jewish daughter should grow to be a wise and understanding Jewish woman of goodness and greatness.
Since Faith was born on Sunday, Paul should have been in shul on the Monday to name her but the service started very early and he wasnt able to make it as he was looking after Aaron. Today is a public holiday and as such Shul started a bit later and one of the teachers from Aarons school offered to look after him while Paul was at Shul. So Paul named her today.
Traditionally Ashkenazi Jews name children after a deceased relative, not only to honour the deceased but also to inspire the child to live up to that persons name. Serphadi Jews name after living relatives as well as deceased relatives.
We are Ashkenazi and as such chose to name Faith after my grandmother who passed away almost a year ago. Her 'english' name was Fanyse and her Hebrew name was Feiga. Faiths second name is Sigal, it is a hebrew name meaning violet (sigalit is a type of violet in Israel) or meaning treasure. We chose Sigal to honour my late grandfather Sydney and Pauls late aunt Sandra.
Her hebrew name is Feiga Sigal bat Nachama (Feiga Sigal 'daughter of' Nechama – my hebrew name).
So, in a nutshell, Faith received her name today at shul in honour of two great grandparents and a great aunt.
So I am home, I have my laptop and internet access…
Here are a few pictures I took with my phone, most have been up on Twitter or Facebook already but I thought I would add them here again.
New ones coming shortly
P.s. theSQL will be named in Shul tomorrow morning. Its tradition to name a baby girl during a Torah reading and the next one is tomorrow
So Friday 10th was my last day at work. It was also our housekeeper/nanny's last day of work. It also happened to be my OB's last day at work.
Anyone seeing a pattern here?
We went to my MIL for shabbos dinner and on Saturday we did some shopping, visited my granny and went home for lunch. We had booked tickets to see the new Harry Potter and my mom agreed to look after Aaron in the afternoon.
When we got back to my mom to fetch Aaron he didn't want to come home. I jokingly asked him of he wanted to sleep at Nana knowing that the last dozen times we had asked he said no. Well he surprised us and said yes. My mom agreed and Paul and I went home alone.
We made dinner, caught up on a few episodes of CSI New York, closed up the house, settled the dogs and went to bed. Well, Paul went to sleep and I stayed up a bit playing on my laptop. Just before midnight I put the laptop away and turned off the lights. Not 5 minutes later my water broke!
Now I had been having contractions very erratically for a few days and theSQL was definitely head down and in position but I really didn't expect her to come so soon. Especially because that's pretty much what happened with Aaron at just over 36 weeks. I mean really, what are the chances of it happening twice?
Pretty darn good it seems…
So I woke Paul up and the darling man got everything together and in the car while I waited in the bathroom. I had called the hospital and they were expecting us. Paul drove us in record time through the rain and we arrived at the hospital shortly after 12:30am Sunday morning.
The lovely sister in charge, who happened to be a midwife too, hooked us up to a monitor and confirmed a strong foetal heartbeat and regular contractions. She did an internal and could feel her head pushing against my cervix.
The OB on call was spoken to and within an hour and a half of arriving at the hospital we were waiting outside theatre ready for theSQL to make her appearance.
The spinal was quick and not so painless but worked like a bomb. Paul was called in and at 2:23am on 12 Dec 2010 our beautiful baby girl was delivered into the world weighing 2.91kg and measuring 48cm long.
She has a full head of dark hair and latched on to the boob straight away. She is already on her own schedule and wakes up every 2 hours or so for a feed.
Aaron is in love with his baby sister and tells us at every opportunity that he NEEDS to hold his baby. I think he will be quite protective of her.
Right now I'm about to try catch up on some sleep since I've technically not really slept since Friday night…
***fixed the picture now that I have my laptop
A little while ago Pick n Pay asked me if I would like to review their new range of baby products.
With an active 3 year old and a new baby on the way I jumped at the chance.
This is what arrived for us last week:
*prices taken from the Pick n Pay Online Store.
I was totally blown away by the package that arrived for us. The best part is that these are not sample sizes but the actual sizes you will find in store.
The eye catching yellow, white and grey packaging is great, and Aaron was all over the bottles and tubs naming the cute animal drawings on each product. I was excited to see that all the creams, lotions and powders have chamomile extract in them, this soothing extract is wonderful to help put niggly babies at ease (and its smells great too).
I must admit we haven't tried any of the products yet. The reason being that we had just opened a new pack of nappies for Aaron and we are waiting to finish those before opening the Pick n Pay ones. As for the other products, poor Aaron is missing out, Im being selfish and hanging onto those for theSQL. She should be here in the next 3 weeks and I am so grateful I dont need to buy any toiletries for her now.
I did open almost all the bottles and tubs and they smell divine, the chamomile extract is delish and Im sure its going to be very soothing for the baby.
Watch this space for our review of the Junior nappies in the next few days…
Ok, sorry, had to get that out there…
Yesterday I went for my 35 week appointment.
#theSQL is doing really well. She now weighs 2.76kg (about 300g bigger than average) and is apparently quite tall. I blame Paul for all that
She is still moving all the time. We had one quiet day but she really made up for it the next day
Dr D was expecting her head to be engaged but its not, she looked at me and said deadpan, "Its because your pelvis is narrow and her head is big, just dont see it happening…", OMG, seriously, I cant be that small although she can be that big!
She is pretty sure that even if I do go into labour naturally that her head will get stuck and she would rather do the c-section to be safe. I tend to agree with her. I asked if I would be allowed to watch her do the c-sec and she said sure. Im quite excited about that. We agreed that Paul will just have to turn his back and pray that he doesnt pass out.
The other thing I asked her was about the pain meds afterwards. Last time they gave me some pretty hectic stuff in my drip and I was out of it (and not in a good way) for most of the first day. She said that this time we can start with the minimum dose of the lightest painkiller and then if I need more we can up the dose and/or the type of painkiller. So happy she agreed because I really hated feeling so out of it last time.
I also spoke to Dr D about the swelling in my calves, ankles and feet (I even showed her the picture I put on Twitter). She said that coupled with my low BP made her want to book me off work on modified bed rest. Unfortunately I still have quite a bit to do at the office including showing the other ladies what they need to do for me while Im away. So we compromised. She booked me off today and Monday on modified bed rest so that I can get 4 straight days of relaxation.
So Im not allowed to drive or go do grocery shopping or anything like that. I am allowed to walk around at home as long as I take it easy and dont do anything hectic like clean out the baby's room of all the crap that is in there at the moment (I really feel the need to do that though, I hate sitting idle and Im all about the nesting at the moment!)
I did get a tub of Puff Ease Bath Tea from BodyThrills yesterday and let me tell you it works. And it smells divine. Almost makes me want to have swollen ankles so I can feel the relief as they go down in my bath tonight
Once again, I cant get the Vimeo video to embed so here is the link
The other thing we discussed was that since my OB is going to be away from the 10 Dec until the 24 Dec, I will need to see her locum in about 10 days time. She made me an appointment to see her for the 13 Dec. I completely trust Dr D so I know she would only leave us in good hands and Im glad I get to meet the locum before (please Gd) this baby comes.
Hopefully we will see the locum and the next time we go to Sunninghill will be to deliver theSQL with Dr D when she is back.
So last Thursday we had our 33 week appointment.
#theSQL is doing well. She is a big girl and for the first time was lying still during a scan
She has chubby cheeks and you can even see that she has some hair!
She is almost 2.3kg and is head down. Now she just needs to turn to face my back and we are all set.
I really really cant wait to meet her.
6 weeks and counting!!!
Here is the scan for those that are interested (I cant embed the file so please click on the link below)
Are you having a baby shower? What can we get you?
The answer is that as Jews we don't have baby showers. With a boy, gifts are brought to the Bris and with a girl, gifts are brought when people come and visit baby and mommy at home.
That being said people have asked what they can get us so I have made a list of the things we will need/want when theSQL arrives. What would really be appreciated is new born nappies
Things for theSQL
So, in this post my OB mentioned that theSQL will turn into a head down feet up (or vice versa) position soon and that it would hurt like a mother…
I think the last two days has been her turning, my belly was hard and sore constantly and I couldnt even touch it without being in pain. Now the top of my belly, which was soft before, has gone harder and I am getting kicks/punches right under my ribs which I never had before.
Im not as sore today as I was yesterday, although Im still a little uncomfortable but Im sure I will get used to it
Yesterday Paul, Aaron and I took a drive to Sunninghill hospital to have our 4D scan.
Netcare hospitals have what is called a Maternity Passport. You pay R300 and for that you get a free 4D scan (worth R600), Netbaby gift pack when you have your baby (a baby bag with lots of sample products in it), the first in hospital vaccinations for free, free birth registration (what a pleasure, we had it done with Aaron) as well as the first Wellbaby Clinic visit at the Storks Nest. For R300 I think its worth getting!
Back to the 4D scan…
The technician that did the scan couldnt believe how active theSQL is. She didnt stop moving the entire scan, so much so that we couldnt get a decent shot of her legs or arms and she kept moving her legs in front of her girl bits. What we did get were some great shots of her face along with her hands. She kept touching her face and hiding behind her hands and sucking on her fingers. Too cute.
We took Aaron with us and he was pretty interested, for the first 5 minutes, then he got a bit bored, but wanted to look again at the end. He kept saying we were going to see his baby… so sweet.
So without further ado, here are some of the clearer shots (with descriptions)

The Best Indie-Pop of 2012
Writing about the best indie-pop seems inherently an individualized, personal experience -- but that is fitting for a type of music that on one level seems more person-oriented than mass-movement-oriented.

Jon DeRosa: A Wolf in Preacher's Clothes
This is time-travelling, but it doesn't feel like it. Rather DeRosa's connecting the dots across the musical timeline, in the way most of our record collections do, while uniting it all into one compelling sound and feeling.

Hello again everyone and thank you to all that replied to my first post regarding removing silicone. I did remove it using the dental tool that was recommended as well as some WD40 and it worked very well. Now tonight I have grouted my project and cleaned most of it up following instructions. The only thing I am disappointed with however is that some grout ended up under some of my glued pieces of glass. I know that some of my grout lines were large because that's what I wanted but I wouldn't think that would be the reason. Would any of you have any idea why that would be? I was really careful, and I would like to know why before I go on to my next project. It still turned up very nice though, I didn't follow a pattern or anything and I still think it will look good outisde in my porch. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow. Thanks! |

Hey There! I think for al of us, this is a trial by error kinda thing...making sure to put just enough silicone on...smooshing the pcs down evenly onto the glass, I know that I tend to get doing something and get sloppier, but have all good intentions of being careful!!! My front door is just such an example! I started out real good(bottom) and by the top I was a crazy woman..just gluing and sticking without abandon!lol! And it shows! I am reminded everyday(cuz it's my front door!!lol) to slow down and be more vigilant with the small details! Now onto your next one!!!heh heh! |

There is a new product some have been using, I have not tried yet-called polyseam seal avail at Lowes I believe, It goes on white-so you can see any gaps that might result in grout bleed, then drys clear. I use lots of silicone to cover all the edges and then scrape the wet silicone at the edge to remove the extra with a toothpick.(so it doesnt pile up between tesserae) There is also a method where you coat the piece with weldbond, using a brush to get it in the nooks and crannies letting it dry before grout to prevent bleed. And my personal opinion, its just gonna happen sometimes no matter what. |
all good advice WW and Jane, I'll just add that I have less problems with bleed if my grout is mixed dryer |
Thank you girls for the advice. The way I see it with what Calamity says about putting enough silicone etc...I think I may have taken too much silicone off when cleaning...I knew that grout doesn't catch if there is silicone in the grout line, so I reallyyyyyyy cleaned hard, probably too hard! I read on another forum that "pieces have to be sealed off completely" so I wonder if it would be better to use a sealer over the whole project before grouting? If so, what kind? Calamity: About the panel in your window, only one word: WOW! It is beautiful! I saved the picture for future inspiration! |
Nicethyme might have hit the nail on the head. How watery did you have the grout? Even sanded grout which is what you should have used with large gaps can be to watery if you mix it that way. I make mine about as thick as sour cream. If I was to turn my container upside down it would not pour out for at least 5 minutes. |
I go for peanut butter myself Barrel! lol Charmo, grout will stick to your adhesive so when cleaning I just remove anything above or at level with my tess- just deep enough for grout to get in. Course with gog you don't want to see globs of silicone in your interstices from the back but I wouldn't try to remove it all or surely you will pull some from under the tess. Cindiloo recently tried the weldbond wash on a glass block she was sure was going to have grout leak and it was successful for her |
Thanks everyone! Barrell, my grout was sanded grout and pretty thick I would say, maybe not 5 minutes before it would pour but still thick. I am pretty sure I cleaned my silicone wayyyyy too much. I guess I'll learn the hard way. It's so nice to have this forum and read all your ideas from your expertise. Can't wait to start another one! |

Could you repost your picture please. I'm sneaking over from Hypertufa enjoying all the info. GOG is what I'm leaning towatd. Thanks |
Leaf, best thing to do is post a new thread asking folks to show you their GOGs |

I'm new to mosaics, so I'm going to ask a dumb question. What does GOG stand for? |
it means glass on glass mosaic, gives and appearance similar to stained glass but with grout instead of solder |
and I forgot to say - there are NO dumb questions here EVER! anything worth learning is worth asking about |

The Use of "Pruteen1" in Broiler Diets
Mak, T. K and Oh, B. T. (1983) The Use of "Pruteen1" in Broiler Diets. Pertanika, 6 (3). pp. 111-115.
2603Kb |
A study, involving 1,200 birds., was conducted to compare the performance of birds fed pruteenbased and commercial diets. The mean individual feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio (F.eR.) of birds fed the pruteen-based diet were 4673.8 g, 2172.3 g and 2.15 respectively, whereas in those fed the commercial diet they were 4832.5 g, 2151.8 g and 2.25 respectively. Birds fed the pruteen-based diet consumed significantly less feed and had better F. C.R. (P < 0.05). However the difference of 20.5 g in weight gain/bird in favour of the pruteen-based diet was not found to be significant. Mortality figures of 4.5% and 3.8% respectively of birds fed pruteen-based and commercial diets were considered normal. There was a difference of $0. 0878 in the feed cost/bird in favour of the pruteen-based diet.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Simba!
Facts about Simba
- Breed: Pomeranian
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Simba's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Simba is an adorable male Pomeranian, 5 yrs old and weighs 12lb. Come and meet him at The Shelter Hope Pet Shop!
Other Pets at Shelter Hope Pet Shop
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Simba, a Thousand Oaks Pomeranian dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pomeranian for sale in Thousand Oaks, or seeking a Pomeranian dog from a breeder in Thousand Oaks.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Thousand Oaks already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Thousand Oaks breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pomeranian breeders who help with Pomeranian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Thousand Oaks paves the way for another one to be saved.
