TRENTON – As a steady, just-hard-enough-to-irritate-you rain fell in Trenton Friday night, the Jones Senior Trojans and Southside Seahawks were locked into a fierce battle on the football field.
In a game that came down to the final play, Jones Senior fell eight yards short of victory.
"It was a tough game and with the wet field that didn't benefit either one of us, it made it tougher," Jones Senior coach John Davis said. "You know with 18 kids dressed out from the whole student body, it's great to see them never quit and keep fighting."
Glen White quarterbacked the Trojans' final drive after the defense had forced the Seahawks to punt.
White led the offense all the way down to the 8-yard line, with 3.1 seconds left and one last hurrah.
White scrambled and launched a pass to the back right corner of the endzone that was batted to the ground by a Southside defender, ending the comeback attempt, and dropping the Trojans to 0-8.
Jones Senior (0-8, 0-2 Coastal Plains Conference) surrendered 30 points to the visitors from Chocowinity, but held their own by putting up a 20 spot.
One of the biggest plays of the game that came back to doom the Trojans occurred just before the halftime buzzer.
The Trojans were marching at the Southside 15-yard line with seconds remaining when quarterback Javon Andrews found Zac Brooks on an out route.
Brooks carried the ball to the end zone and appeared to hit the pylon on a dive before careening out of bounds.
The men in stripes didn't see it that way and marked the ball on the 1-yard line.
The Seahawks' defense then stuffed a quarterback sneak attempt by Andrews, forcing time to run out on the Trojans.
"We played much better in the second half, but time just ran out on us," Davis said. "Southside played well though, they are well-coached and a very good running team."
The Seahawks (3-5, 1-1) used a trio of hard-running backs for the brunt of their offensive force.
Lawrence Brown and Isaac Harrell dashed right and left, as Dylan Lewis was used in power running situations.
Brown scored a pair of touchdowns, as Harrell, Lewis and quarterback Johnny Sullivan added one apiece.
Neither team utilized a kicker and went for two points on each score.
"We needed a good morale boost and this game gave us that," Southside coach Jeff Carrow said. "Our offense was clicking pretty well, our defense just needs some work."
The Trojans travel to Northside (Pinetown) next week, while Southside heads to East Carteret.

Travel Safety and Security in a Changing World
By Kent St. John,
GoNOMAD Senior Travel Editor
Once upon a time the worst part of flying was pushy crowds, bad food and air rage. After September 11, 2001, the term air rage has taken on a new meaning. Since the tragedy of September, I have flown ten times and each flight was different. I, in fact, fly differently. I no longer just pack my bags; I also pack some pre-flight knowledge and information given by Kenneth Cooper, owner of THT Inc., one of America's top security training facilities.
Before leaving for your journey spend some time gathering information. Start with your destination. The gathering of information will not only give you safety advice but a better knowledge that will enhance your trip.Find out about more than just the main tourist sites. Gather some practical information such as customs, religions and governments.Be ready to respect and observe the traditions. >If there is some unrest at your destination, learn who the players are.
For links to information for government tourist bureaus, media sources and safety warnings, see GoNOMAD's Travel Resource Links
The airline industry was changed forever on September 11, 2001, and many changes have been implemented, which makes checking with your carrier before flying crucial. This applies to foreign carriers, as well as domestic.
For links to information for airports, the FAA, airlines, and other transportation providers see GoNOMAD's Travel Resource Links
The general concession is that America's airport security will resemble Europe's, and in some airports, it already does. Armed military personal have been a presence in airports worldwide for years, but National Guards and Reservists are currently patrolling many of America's terminals now.
And the old security checkpoints through which we casually breezed are a thing of the past. According to a GAO (investigative arm of congress) report, the average salary for a security worker at the Brussels Airport is $23.80 an hour. Compare that to the average per hour salary for US workers and realize that the pressure to acquire better-trained staff is in the works. And with better staffing, comes increased time spent on your luggage.
While in your destination, incognito and low key is the way to go. According to Ken Cooper, "Perhaps because of the excitement of traveling, people tend to give out more personal information than is prudent." These days, it is wise to use the two ears one mouth theory. Until you are sure with whom you are dealing with keep conversations off personal topics. That goes especially for religious and political topics.
In general, be on your best behavior: whether you want to or not you represent America. Showing respect and interest in cultures can go a long way to improving America's image abroad.
These days it is a courtesy to provide your family and friends with as much information on your itinerary as possible. Even if you are not anxious about traveling, ease the fears of those left behind.
While many are talking about the dangers of international travel now, remind them and yourself that you have a better chance of getting hurt driving to the store. Americans on their finest behavior is the absolute best way to help others worldwide to understand our country: your presence helps undo preconceived concepts and corporate identities, and allows others worlds away see us as not just a country, but as a members of the human race. You are our new ambassadors. Stay in touch with your sixth sense.

Strawberry, red currant, watermelon, nice acidity- juicy and easy. I served this to my family for our Easter dinner this year, and it was perfect with roasted ham, scalloped potatoes and green beans!

2014 Txomin Etaniz Rosé Getariako Txakolina
Review Date: 04-09-2015
Well hellooooooo summer! Man, I seriously love Txakoli. This Txakoli rose has cemented itself as my spring and summer sipper. Perfectly approachable with strawberry, red cherry, and cranberry but there is also the wonderful chalky, sightly funky earthy note of the classic Txakoli grapes, too- in a totally delicious way! Just a teeny bit fizzy, with mouth-watering acidity- perfect for priming the palate for dinner!

Super crunchy cranberry, red cherry, tart red currant and sandalwood, with an undercurrent of minerality.

Venus Spirits Batch #2 Gin 750ml
Review Date: 04-01-2015
I've got a new favorite barrel aged gin, and its name is Venus Batch 2! Sean Venus hits it out of the park with each bottling of his carefully crafted, local Santa Cruz spirits. Not just another bottling of the same darn gin just thrown into a barrel, Venus actually created this spirit independent of his Batch 1 gin. Batch 2 winks at you from the shelf with a bright amber sparkle, with dried orange peel, nutmeg, star anise and gingerbread teasing you to make yourself a Negroni, for goodness sake! This puppy will be a mainstay on my bar from today forward!
Price: $36.99
Anchor Old Tom Gin 750ml
Review Date: 04-01-2015
This year is the first year that I have played around with the Old Tom sweeter style of gin, and the Anchor Old Tom now has a permanent position on my home bar shelf. Slightly sweet, with notes of lemon and orange zest, and spicy juniper, this gin is absolutely fabulous mixed with blood orange juice and a bit of soda water! Or, try it with grapefruit juice! Such a fun and festive gin for springtime!
Price: $29.99
Marietta "Old Vine Red-Lot #62" Red Blend
Review Date: 03-30-2015
Jake and Scot Bilbro have re-launched their father's historic winery into the future. The Marietta Old Vine Red is still an amazing value and really, really good stuff. I love that they are carrying on the tradition of deliciously drinkable, affordable, well-made juice with this wine. Always a blend of old vine Zinfandel (and a few other reds they won't tell you!). Blackberry, black currant, cassis, and spice with medium plus acidity and medium tannin. Throwing a BBQ? Hosting a graduation party? Having a wedding reception? Kicking off the summer with a block party? This is one wine that needs to be on your list!

My friend Derek, the winemaker at Patton Valley, has made us such a fun rose to kick off the rose season! All Pinot Noir, this puppy is brimming with cranberry, red cherry, strawberry and red currant with zesty, fresh acidity. Pull up a chair on a sunny patio, pour a glass of this delightful rose, and let your cares fall away! But you better hurry- I might just buy it all first!

2013 Akitu "A1" Pinot Noir Central Otago (Black Label)
Review Date: 03-30-2015
The Akitu 1 Pinot Noir Black Label is a stunning, undeniably elegant wine. With clonal material from DRC in Burgundy, it shows all of the grace and poise of its genetic roots, with the vibrancy and purity of fruit I love about Central Otago Pinot Noir. Black currant, plum, red cherry, sandalwood, spice, red roses, and mineral, with medium plus acidity and medium tannin. Described by the winemaker as "The Chanel Suit" of his two Pinots (the Akitu 2 is his flashier "Dolce & Gabbana"), like classic Chanel, this wine is stunning now, and no doubt will continue to age with understated elegance. Buy as much as you can.

Ariston Aspasie Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne
Review Date: 02-15-2015
I just threw our family's first baby shower for my brother and sister-in-law, and this was the Champagne of choice to celebrate the new little life on the way! I love this Champagne for its easy and yet elegant personality. Apple, cream, citrus, and mineral with the stunning golden wine visible through the clear glass. It looks gorgeous on ice at a party, and its accesibility make it a total win for Champagne neophytes and connoiseurs alike!

Review Date: 02-10-2015

2012 Erik Banti "Carato" Toscana
Review Date: 02-10-2015
Every time I try a new vintage of this wine, I am reminded of how ridiculous this is for the price! The gorgeous Sangiovese stands out in this blend, with red cherry and sandalwood, the Merlot lends a little plummy fleshiness and the 10% Ciliegiolo a bit of mineral and delight. Seriously too good not to tuck away a few cases for your house wine! Fabulous with pizza, burgers, roasted chicken, antipasto--Salute!

2011 Tassi Rosso di Montalcino
Review Date: 02-09-2015
My love affair with Sangiovese continues.... Beautiful fresh cherry compote, cassis, mineral, sandalwood spice, and the tiniest hint of smoke & earth, with elegant, fine tannin and medium plus acidity. This lovely Rosso shows everything that Sangiovese Grosso is about- finesse, grace, and beautiful fruit. Guzzle this by the gallon while you are waiting for your Tassi Brunello to age! Try this with a San Daniele prosciutto & truffle oil pizza!

2013 Patient Cottat "Le Grand Caillou" Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 01-08-2015

2012 Filippi "Castelcerino" Soave Colli Scaligeri
Review Date: 11-26-2014
What a tremendously interesting white! Citrus, tart green apple, leesy richness, and a saline character that is a result of the volcanic soils in which the grapes are grown. Medium-plus quite zesty acidity. The length of this wine is significant--about 10 minutes after tasting, it was still lingering on my palate. A fabulous value--I am excited to give this a go with a cheese platter, roasted chicken or scallops!

2009 Il Valentiano "Campo di Marzo" Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 10-01-2014
Just when you thought that we had found all of the amazing, tiny producers in Montalcino to bring you incredible Brunello, Greg St. Clair has scored another coup with the Il Valentiano wines. Valentina and Fabbiolo blended their names together to create the name- and we are proud to say that the lovely estate near Caprili is quite the find. This 2009 is showing beautifully right now, but would easily quite happily slumber in your cellar for a while, too. Open it now and decant it, and it will delight you with notes of red cherry, cassis, spice, stewed cherries and earthiness. Medium plus acidity and medium tannin, this elegant, classy Brunello will not disappoint you!

Our friends at Zudugarai Amats bring it again! Zippy freshness with a hint of fizz and low alcohol- delish! Lime zest, mineral, green pear with a lively acidity that makes me reach for the bottle to pour another glass.

Bruno Michel "Les Roses" Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 10-26-2013
Every time I taste this Champagne, I want to sit and linger with it for the rest of the afternoon. It's a totally nerdy rose, unlike anything else we have. Barrel fermented, all Pinot Meunier and aged in bottle for a year, this particular bottling is all from 2006 fruit. Red cherry, spice, vanilla, leather, funky earth with medium plus acidity and a long finish. What a fabulous, fun rose Champagne!

Man, I love this wine. I had this again the other evening with pank-crusted salmon and a spinach salad, and it was light, pretty and delicious. Soft raspberry, strawberry and citrus with the tiniest hint of sweetness. The acidity really worked with my salmon's fattiness. Of course, the wine's pink sparkly glimmer on the dinner table in my wine glasses added to the ambiance. Stock up for birthday celebrations, brunch, baby showers, or just because it's a Tuesday night!

By far the darkest rose champagne I have ever seen, the color of this incredible Fluteau Rose Brut Champagne is the color of a classic Pinot Noir!

A rose not to be missed.... A fabulous alternative to standard Pinot Noir on your Thanksgiving Day table! Think ahead for your holiday celebrations & stock up- this is unusual & incredible!

Deligeroy Cremant de Loire Brut
Review Date: 09-28-2012
What a screaming deal at $11.99! This bubbly from the Loire Valley will delight you with its refreshingly pleasant acidity, fine bubble structure, and hints of pear, apple and minerals. Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay & Cabernet Franc. When I first brought this wine home, I admittedly had intended to just mix it with my Mathilde Cassis for a Kir Royale, but I wanted to give the wine its proper due and poured a glass out straight first. A wonderful surprise met me, and I never did add that cassis.... the wine somehow disappeared too quickly! Perfect for holiday entertaining!

Quartz Reef "Methode Traditionelle" Sparkling Wine Brut Central Otago
Review Date: 07-16-2012
I had the pleasure of tasting this elegant sparkling wine with the winemaker from New Zealand, who stopped by our store recently. Having just stepped off the plane not 24 hours prior, he was still enthusiastic about presenting us this wine! Pinot Noir dominates the blend with Chardonnay, with a sweet apple and pear, a lovely leesy toastiness, hints of mineral and zippy acid in the finish. This wine is biodynamic, hand picked, and done in the traditional method- and it is HAND riddled to boot! Not many sparkling wines left in the world today can claim that! The care taken with this wine is clear- and the price makes it a steal!

Fans of fresh grated ginger rejoice! This is the stuff for you! No cloying stickiness here, just lots of spice and real ginger heat. Made with 20 year old Glenrothes, and macerated with real fresh ginger root- just add soda!
Price: $27.99
St. George Terroir Mt. Tam Gin 750ml
Review Date: 11-15-2011
Having read Melissa and David's reviews of this gin, I was excited but rather dubious in approaching it- how could it be so expressive of the terrior of Northern California? I poured it over ice, added some Fevertree Tonic water and a splash of lime and BAM! Hands down the most incredible experience of drinking in the landscape I love so much! Bay laurel, damp redwood, eucalyptus, wild fennel & dill- this California girl is enraptured!
Price: $30.99
San Venanzio Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut
Review Date: 09-05-2011
Bright citrus & apple nose, lovely minerality. A clean and refreshing prosecco for your summer entertaining! I'm thinking fresh black figs wrapped in proscuitto, tiny goat cheese & fontina grilled cheese sandwiches, and musk melon cooled in a creek. Delicious!
Price: $12.99
La Caudrina "La Selvatica" Asti
Review Date: 07-04-2011
A soft, mildly sweet Moscato d'Asti with light floral aromas. A pleasant choice (best when chilled) to enjoy on its own or for a sunny Sunday brunch on the terrace with friends!
Price: $19.99
St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 07-04-2011
Drinking St. Germain is like drinking liquid flowers! Subtle, sweet and captivating. Who knew that hand-picked elderflowers from the French Alps could be so lovely? Delicious with Gran Cava champagne with a curly twist of orange, even more amazing with soda on the rocks! I served St. Germain with soda and fresh watermelon juice at a springtime cocktail party, and could hardly keep up with the demand! My absolute favorite spirit for spring and summer!
Price: $31.99

I did practice some one-steps yesterday. Not the results that I hoped for. I just don't want to injure myself before next week and my vacation to Japan. That would stink having a broken ankle and not being able to play.

in my experience, tweaking your back / straining it, is much easier to do on a "greasy" tee pad than rolling an ankle. Although, it guess it is possible.

ok i am responding to this thread because i thought that jeremy would delete said thread , after i edited my original post, but after a heated conversation with dave yesterday afternoon, i came to find that whom ever made dave aware of my "opinion" tweaked it to seem as if i said, quote dave" that he designed the course inorder to cheat" end quote dave, i said no such thing, keeping the thread here seems to be only to let everyone read the accolades to dave, and to turn my opinion, into what everyone considered to be bashing, toward me. not that i mind because every one has a right to an opinion whether it is agreed upon or not. i made sure to say that i wasnt bashing dave, yet the post everyone else made were defending him, as if i had. i wont rehash what i wrote, but will say, i wasnt bashing anyone and for dave to quote "accuse me of slander!" ridiculuos!i will have my own opinion, and i will voice it, i am entitled to it as are all of you!

I was going to delete the thread until you deleted your message. The reason I left it up at all was because enough people had already read your post and I thought it would only be fair for people to read the defence. I hadnt really viewed the message as an insult to anyone since your post was deleted so I dont really see a reason to delete it now.

Finish Line's Ceramix Wet Lube incorporates nan-sized platelets of ceramic boron nitride and micron particles of flouropolymer. Essentially, that means that it creates a lube with a very low coefficient of friction. In other words, it keeps the surfaces that are rubbing together very slippery. This keeps the drivetrain running smoothly and reduces friction, which in turn increases the life of the components.
The Finish Line Ceramic Wet is a full waterproof lube that is very effective for mountain bikes, road racing, cyclocross and track racing. Finish Line 1 Step and Lubricant features a Readily Biodegradable formulation which means that more than 60% of the product's base oils will degrade within 28 days once exposed to contact with common soil-borne bacterias.
Note - The white ceramic particles may turn grey or black over time. This discoloration is normal and will not compromise performance. After several applications this will lessen.

Unless you are a reputable breeder or are under the study of one, you shouldn't be breeding. Breeding dogs is very dangerous for the dam, sire and the puppies. Unless your dog is of impeccable breeding, has passed all temperament and health checks and has titles in confirmation and/or has shown he/she is capable of doing what the breed was made for, the dog should be spayed/neutered. Having a litter of puppies does nothing to help your dog, but can instill the possibility of getting mammary cancer later on in life. Please just get her fixed so that she can live a happy, healthy and long life with you.12/29/2014 2:01:25 PM
The recommendation used to be to have one litter then get them spayed. That is not the case today. Most Veterinarians recommend spaying before the first heat cycle so get your girl spayed and not bred. Whelping is very risky and you could lose your beloved pet by breeding her. Please leave the breeding up to the experienced breeders....you'll be glad you did.1/11/2015 7:07:43 PM
They are absolutely correct! I bred our shihtzu and almost lost her and the pups! I would not recommend in breeding your! They are telling you the truth. When you go through a scare like I did, you will be thankful you listened to them!3/27/2015 1:53:42 PM
I bred mine one time and it worked out fine! Got her spayed like 6years later and had no problems! Good luck, pups are so fun and easily adopted.5/15/2015 1:16:27 PM

The Japanese Chin's coat color can be either black and white, sable (black and white with tan points), or red and white. These colors can vary in intensity (such as lemon and white, mahogany and white). The coloration of the dog is not for any purpose but for aesthetic reasons. In making the Japanese Chin breed, several colors were standardized by the several Kennel Clubs that accepted the Japanese Chin as a breed.10/3/2014 2:01:38 PM
There is a fourth color/pattern recognized in the US, black and white with tan points.10/14/2014 2:38:04 PM

Sadly, the Japanese Chin is known to live under 10 years of age on average. Because of breeding issues, the dogs don't tend to live as long as other small breeds that live an average of 15 - 17 years. There are no reports as to whether males or females live longer. It is all in the breeding/linage of the dog and what food the dog is fed over it's life-time.7/21/2014 10:36:19 AM
My Japanese Chin lived to be 14 1/2 years old 12/17/2014 9:29:18 PM
Mine have often lived to 14 years and my customer's Japanese Chins have an average lifespan of about 14-15 years. If they are well bred, healthy, happy, have good conformation, and are well cared for, they will outlive many of the other breeds.
I see very few health problems in the Japanese Chin breed. They are a hardy, athletic, people pleasing breed. They are the best kept secret in the dog world.12/27/2014 3:51:31 PM
A Japanese Chin from a reputable and qualified breeder ranges from $800.00 - $1000.00 per puppy.7/11/2014 12:52:44 PM
Depending on the blood line, females are higher from 750.00 to 1500.00.7/18/2014 7:23:25 PM
I am sorry to say I can't recommend a Japanese Chin for your family. I don't think a Beagle and Japanese Chin are very compatible. Chins do not like to be rough housed. They are a fancy and dainty breed that requires gentle family members and calm, quiet, companion pets. I would say absolutely not with the breed you have and why have a second dog if you have to keep them separated. Please consider either another beagle or another high energy, rough playing dog to even things up. A chin would be no match for a beagle unless, of course, it was extremely laid back and very, very gentle. 7/10/2014 11:27:21 PM
The dog's should have no problem getting along. Just understand that the Japanese Chin is a frail dog compared to the Beagle, so any play must be supervised until the pup is an adult and can tell the Beagle to stop when he/she wants to stop.7/11/2014 12:54:52 PM
As a Japanese Chin breeder I agree with the first persons comments completely. I would never subject a Japanese Chin to a rough housing larger breed. Chins are fine boned, polite, and would be overwhelmed by a beagle or terrier breed. It's a really good thing you are checking on this..I commend you for being an owner who checks it out before putting them together and having a tragedy. Extremely tolerant is another word for the Japanese Chin...they will do anything to not fight back. Stick with your Beagle breed. 12/27/2014 3:57:26 PM
My chin is extremely tolerant of my Siberian Husky. They play well together and while the Husky is the
Dominant one - my chin loves to play and chase her. My chin is happy go lucky and loves his big fur sister 1/14/2015 12:20:14 AM
Great question~
Japanese chin coat colors do not change from when they are born. My sable & whites look almost black and white but they are brown & white from birth...a dark brown & white. I have had a few get lighter in color but always keeping the basic color they were born with. 3/9/2013 8:51:38 PM
That is true of the black/white and the sable and white Japanese chin coat colors. But the lemon and white are often born solid white and their spots -which are there- don't really show until they get older.4/26/2013 5:33:39 PM

Because the Japanese Chin is a small breed, they do not consume as much water as a large dog, of course. My chins have free access to fresh water and I only have to fill the self waterer every few days with about 7 or more drinking from it. It probably holds close to a gallon. They really don't eat much either. 3/9/2013 8:55:18 PM
I have read that Japanese Chins are average shedders...I, as a breeder, think that they may be a bit above average depending on the time of the year. If you brush you chin often it will help alot. All dogs shed..it's just whether or not they loose the shed hair or have it become matts, all dogs shed. The myth of dogs that don't shed is just that...a myth.
If you don't mind putting up with some seasonal shedding, the Japanese Chin is the toy breed of choice.1/12/2013 1:08:45 PM
It really depends on the time of year. In the winter and spring time my chin sheds quite a bit. So much actually that there's clumps of fur in the corners of the rooms if I don't brush him at least twice a day. In the summer and fall though he barely sheds. In fact, if I brush him once a day I don't even notice he sheds. 6/13/2013 4:04:07 AM
So glad you chin has recovered... I would first analize his diet, water, etc. Does he drink treated water? Is the food he eats extra high in some nutrients or deficient in others? Beware of stores or places that will want to sell you their "special" foods. No need for special foods if the ration you have him on is a balanced, complete food. I would find a nutritionalist to analize the ration who is impartial. Blatter stones are fairly common in dogs but can become fatal if obstruction occurs.12/3/2012 12:38:05 PM
Your Chin should always be an indoor dog. They love to play outside for a short time but this breed is happiest living indoors with their owner. They thrive on companionship. Bring your chin in and I bet it's behavior will improve. 11/26/2012 4:18:26 PM
First, I must ask why is your Japanese Chin kept outside? They are bred for companionship and since he can't be inside, he can't have companionship....no wonder he's going crazy. Please, please, let your chin live in the house with you or find him an owner who will. This is not a good environment for a loving companion dog. I'mn sure with some companionship, he will calm right down. He is trying to tell you something, please take time to listen to him....he wants to be inside with you.12/7/2012 11:42:47 AM
Your chin is something precious that should never be left outdoors. They are extremely heat sensitive. Please let him live indoors they are very easy to train and you will have a ball just watching their crazy antics, ps it will also adore you.1/14/2014 8:34:57 PM
He may be a Jap Chin mix but not a full blood. He does not have the correct facial structure of a Chin. They are bug eyed, short nosed little round faced dogs. Good luck finding out what he is. You can send in a blood test to several different laboratories to find out exactly what kind of mix he is. The first one that comes to mind is VETGEN. Google it.4/26/2013 5:37:34 PM
Occasionally Japanese Chins have "backward sneezes" it's a funny sounding sneeze attack which is harmless and only last a minute of two. If you believe this is not what's going on with your Chin, please contact your veterinarian. 12/31/2012 1:10:01 PM
If your chin has had puppies, sometimes the mom will "blow" their coat and look sort of bad. If your chin has not given birth this is not normal, seek another opinion. My chin never lost hair like that but her skin was very sensitive. It helped her tremendously when we switched her to grain free food such as "Blue
Buffalo Co. You might try that. She had a few episodes with breakouts we tried steroid shots and creams, but what finally cleared her up was the antibiotic Simplecef. Remember, skin is the bodys largest organ don't let her get infected she could become very ill. Hope this helps.1/14/2014 8:40:37 PM

It just depends on the personality of the dog. However, the chihuahua and japanese chin are two TOTALLY different dogs. It's been my experience that chins are more affectionate toward a specific group while chihuahuas tend to be more one person type dogs. This isn't always the case, it depends upon social interaction you give your dog within the first year. If you want your chin to be only your dog then limit their interraction with others and increase your presence within their daily lives for the first year. But remember that by doing this you are also creating a dog that is socially untrained and will never be suitable for small kids and other dogs. You must ALWAYS be present with the dog for atleast 70% of the day because you are creating a dog that see's you as a daily necessity instead of a companion/friend. Chins are a very emotional breed so this isnt a method of traing that I completely agree with for this breed.8/22/2012 3:45:34 AM
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLM WITH MY CHIN. nO MATTER HOW LONG WE ARE OUTSIDE HE MOVES HIS BOWELS INSIDE. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!6/25/2012 12:19:41 PM
Mine is trained to use a litter box inside my house - perfect solution!!! he loves his walks, but prefers to use his box in provacy.2/12/2013 3:06:08 PM
My feeling is that he may still be figuring everything out. It must have been a total world shaker to find himself dumped or lost What is he like just with you? Does he sniff you? He sounds traumatized so maybe just give him time and extra affection. Thank you for taking him in. It never hurts to have him examined on the other hand. 5/1/2012 4:01:54 PM

Absolutely! Japanese Chins are the BEST dog you can have! They are warm and derserve a home. They love a car ride and enjoy being around your family and friends. ;-)4/11/2012 10:50:29 PM
My Chin's tongue hangs out constantly after
he had to have surgery..nerves in back of neck were paralized. I keep it lubricated with vaseline and vegtagle oil and let him drink water as much as he wants. See a vet.4/7/2012 6:15:55 AM
japanese chins are always sticking their tounge out, when mine sticks it out it gets dry then when he licks it it is okay but if you are worried you should take him to the vet or call them.7/15/2012 3:50:04 AM
he could have asma you should get him checked up by a vet7/15/2012 3:51:20 AM
japanese chins have large tounges they always stick out no need to be worried but the blood line you should be worried about
There is a lot of size variation in the Japanese Chin breed I would say 8 - 12 lbs is typical but boys can get just a touch bigger. Wonderful size for indoor house dogs.
Your local pet supply store should have a variety of pet hair removal tools. You can try the typical sticky roller but you're likely to go thru a lot of sheets. I'd look for something reusable, like a lint mitt or something. Good thing about Chin's is their long fur stays on the surface of things for easy cleaning rather then embedding itself. You can also use a vacuum attachment.5/3/2012 10:18:11 PM
i found that by giving camimile tea to my dogs help them to not shed as much 8/1/2012 8:33:02 AM
you can buy combs for removing excess hair from your pet at walmart or any pet store helps out lots8/2/2012 10:42:36 AM
There is no dog that is completely hypoallergenic for all people. The dog hair is not the problem with allergies, it is the dog dander (skin) and saliva. I am slightly allergic and I wash my chin twice a month and he sleeps on my head and I have NO problems.9/27/2011 7:54:56 AM
My japanese chin does, that we took him to the vet and they gave him special food and treats for just him, i think all japanese chins may have this problem.9/4/2011 4:53:46 PM
Let me start off by telling you that Japanese Chin are very catlike. They clean thier faces on a regular basis by rubbing it. If she is tearing alot it may be due to dust, pollens but generally speaking it is just cleaning like a cat. The loss of hair around the neck can be from shedding naturally, a collar around the neck is rubbing it too much. Try and figure out when the started and it may answer your own question. Also, if you have other pets and they rough house it can be from that. Most likely the loss of hair around the neck is shedding, or a collar. 9/18/2011 2:16:01 AM
The Japanese Chin breed is sensitive to corn. If you have it in your dog food or treats, that might be the problem. 12/15/2011 8:19:11 PM
I had a similar problem with my chin. I took him to the vet and they treated him with sterhoids and antibiotics. After a few rounds his skin became more irritated. I searched on the net and found it may be a fungal infection. I found a product at Tractor Supply Company that was used for cleaning the eyes of cattle. It cleared up the fungal infection. I now clean his eyes an creases around his muzzle and eyes regularly and it has not come back.9/9/2012 6:25:50 PM
I have both a male, Diego, and female, Diohji, Japanese Chin. Diego is approximately 13 pounds, and Diohji is about 10. As far as the male dog being attracted to females and vice versa, it is true in our case. Diego is my dog and absolutely will not leave my side if I am home. Diohji is more my Fiance's dog. She listens to him over me, and would rather curl up on the couch with him over me... unless he's not home, then she figures I'm second best and still likes to snuggle! Hope that helps!8/26/2011 1:32:37 AM
I dont think so my japanese chin is in really good shape and he is 15 pounds and he is a male.9/4/2011 4:54:43 PM
The average Chin weighs between 7 pounds upwards. YOu can have a tall Chin that weighs 7 pound and a small one that weighs that much. Once a Chin is spayed or neutered the weight goes up. We don't go by pounds anymore at the shows but by color and height etc.. 9/18/2011 2:18:20 AM
I have a nine year old male JC. Kato is his name, I am looking at some of the reports on here about weight. Kato was good at 6 yrs her was 18lb. Then last year he had to have surgery on his neck disc problems, he was on steroids for 12 weeks, his weight shot up to 25lb. He was a porker. Of course could not walk him due to surgery and had to carry him everywhere outside to do business. But, he is active again and walking great, the weight is slow to come off I have him on Blue Buffolo Yellow bag not diet but weight control. Vet says she would like to see him at 20 or less. So statistics are different for each dog. I was looking at puppies and they were saying 7lbs. Well, not so true.. :) Good Luck. Chins are the best.

Why in the world would Minnesota would to trade back for their own 1st round pick if they think they'll be good? It makes no sense. I don't think I've ever seen any team trade away their pick and then trade to get it back.

Now that we are 1/4 through the season instead of 0/4, how are we looking on this pick?
What was its value? What is its value? What will its value be?
I know I placed a value on it in here and it seems that would have been a good deal I'm not sure we could get today: Rubio and Love. How about tomorrow?
Rubio and Williams was mentioned as just rightsaying and toothe low. How about that?
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Would anybody trade Kaman, Jack and one of the firsts for Rondo and Jermain O'Neal? Saw Boston fans discussing it on some forum.

What bar were they drinking in? Sounds like a killer joint.
So maybe we should have shopped it? And Love and Williams too high? Not too low?
Packaging it could work but I'm not sure we want to dump Okafor now. Maybe we do. It's worthy of consideration.
Also, forget about the fix. There is no evidence of such a thing.
Rubio's good play hasn't helped, but I think the value of the pick changed when Adelman took the job. By the time we got the pick it had already been devalued so shopping it immediately probably wouldn't have gotten much more than shopping now.So maybe we should have shopped it?
I mean why would the Hornets do it?
I see it as an unqualified step. Maybe without our pick or their 'worst' one coming our way. Long terms, it hurts us.
I'd trade the pick and Okafor for Derrick Williams. He was the #2 pick last year and maybe should have been the #1 pick. I'm not sure who this year in college is better than Williams was last year, or further more who would be better as a rookie than Williams as a 2nd year player.
Being able to get rid of Okafor would seal it for me.
Also... no way Wolves are trading Rubio. It's not happening.
Minnesota is the 10th seed right now and i dont see them leapfrogging the more established West teams. Keep the pick unless we are bombarded with an overwhelming offer.

That is correct. I don't want Rondo's deal going forward. I think we will have better options overall for the next 2 summers, and I want Dell to have his shot so we can see if he's legit or not. He's shown great promise, but we need to see him build, not manuver. Any deal like Rondo's going with Gordon and Okafor hurts that.
Next stop: Okafor. This summer or next season.
Most definitely I would trade one of the picks along with contract filler like Okafor,kaman, or Ariza to get a pg like Rondo. Jack is nice, but if I had a chance to get a pg like Rondo and pair him with EG that your backcourt for the next decade potentially.

NEW ORLEANS -- A dog rescued out of the 17th Street Canal by Good Samaritans visited her old owner who had to give her up after undergoing a tragedy in 2011.
Originally named Dede -- short for Ditch Dog -- she was adopted by Scott Hoppmeyer in Metairie after he saw our story. He renamed her Gracie, short for Amazing Grace.
But while training for an Ironman Triathlon, he had a bike accident and broke his neck. She had to go back to a temporary home at Zeus's Place.
But a New Orleans man who now lives in West Des Moines, Iowa, adopted her months ago, and while visiting for Mardi Gras he brought Gracie to visit Hoppmeyer.
'I've had a real spiritual uplifting since I met Scott and Grace, and I decided I had to bring her down to see him and all the other people who love her the people who rescued her,' said Kim Niles, Gracie's new owner.
Hoppmeyer said he stays in contact with Niles and his new pooch.
'The great thing is that Kim has kept in touch with me and he sends me a lot of pictures of her,' Hoppmeyer said.
Gracie is not fond of the snow, so her new owner made sweat shirts to keep her warm.

Lions president Kevin de Klerk says Elton Jantjies and Jaco Taute's loan deals, the team's 2013 schedule and the John Mitchell hearing should be finalised over the next two weeks.
The major talking point is which franchises Springbok duo Jantjies and Taute will represent during Super Rugby next season.
Both players have received offers from all the major unions. It's likely that Jantjies will make a move to Cape Town and join the Stormers, while Taute has confirmed to this site that he's still overlooking all his options and stressed that there's no possibility of joining the Kings. Taute has been in talks with the Stormers, Sharks and Bulls.
'We are currently holding meetings this week to discuss these deals,' De Klerk told keo.co.za. 'Right now, the players are focused on their Currie Cup duties. We hope to get everything confirmed as soon as possible.'
The deals are likely to be confirmed over the next fortnight.
De Klerk also confirmed that the Johannesburg union is close to settling on a fixed schedule for 2013.
The Lions have already agreed to host several clubs from Europe and will face two American teams during a tour to the USA. They are also set to face Fiji, Samoa or Tonga in June. These matches will be televised.
'These plans are very exciting,' said De Klerk. 'We just need to get clearance from Saru and settle these fixtures with a broadcaster. The major thing is that all these games will be televised.'
Meanwhile, the disciplinary hearing with suspended head coach Mitchell is still ongoing. The matter has been postponed several times since June.
However, De Klerk said a settlement should be made by early next week.
'Both parties have voiced their arguments to the chairman in charge. We should get a final decision on Friday or early next week.'
It's believed that interim coach Johan Ackermann is set for a permanent post once Mitchell makes an exit.

I was wondering. Is everything we do, even good brave deeds self serving. Like I am thinking about good things we do, even those where it seems like we are geting nothing in return. Like giving money to a person that is beging, like someone in a wheelchair who you might never see again.
Is even that in a way self serving? It makes you feel good about yourself if you are a non believer. If you are a believer than you either score points with God or you end up good wich leads to peace in next life. I suppose those things depend on what you believe.
At wich point are shure that you are good enough and all you do is maintain good because that's what you have become. At wich point are you certain that all you are doing is because you don't want nothing in return because you already have what you want?
I think that it takes a lot of work on arriving at that point and once you are there you still can't rest but you know that you have either come close to or have fully disolved your ego.

Gov. Inslee begins term with focus on jobs
Governor's inaugural address touts the state's clean-energy industry

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Gov. Jay Inslee addresses the crowd assembled in the Capitol rotunda after being sworn into office Wednesday morning in Olympia.
"Make no mistake: Our top priority today, tomorrow, and every single day for the next four years, is jobs," he said in his inaugural address.
"The world will not wait for us. We face fierce and immediate global competition for the jobs of tomorrow," he said. "Leading this next wave of growth is our opportunity, not our entitlement."
Inslee did not announce any major policy initiatives in his speech to a joint session of the Legislature. He did stake out positions on climate changes and women's rights in conflict with many Republicans, including those influencing the direction of the majority coalition in the Senate.
Inslee insisted that expanding Washington's clean energy sector will spur job growth and provide an antidote to the ravages of climate change.
"As a parent and grandparent, I cannot consciously accept the dangers of climate change for my family or yours," he said. "As a governor, I can't afford to look the other way or point fingers or deny these realities, and I cannot allow our state to miss this moment that is our destiny to lead the world in clean energy."
He said the "scientific controversy" on climate change is settled. "What remains is how we respond to the challenge," he said.
But GOP members are unconvinced the clean energy industry is where most new jobs will be found. And when it comes to the matter of climate change, it's far from settled with them.
Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe, said she "cringed" at his comments.
"If it is settled how come half the Legislature was stone-faced," she said. "There are hundreds of scientists with Ph.D.s who disagree with his conclusions."
Inslee received his loudest applause from Democrats when he said he would sign the Reproductive Parity Act to require health plans that cover maternity services to also cover abortions.
"Washington women need the freedom and privacy to make the health care decisions that are best for themselves and their families," he said. "Let's get this done."
The bill died in a swirl of politics last session. Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, and Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, re-introduced the bill this week though it's uncertain if Litzow's coalition will let it advance.
House Republicans and the leader of the Senate Majority Coalition, Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina, have repeatedly stressed fiscal matters and not social issues, such as the Reproductive Parity Act are the focus of the session.
Sen. Nick Harper, D-Everett, praised Inslee for making his position clear.
"That sets the stage for what I hope we will see out of this administration -- leadership and courage," he said.
Republican lawmakers did laud Inslee for saying his top priorities will be jobs and retooling the operations of state agencies.
"Where I agree strongly agree with the governor is the need for fundamental reform of government and to focus on the services they provide to make sure our businesses are dealt with efficiently, effectively and respectfully," said Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton.
Inslee, 61, became the state's 23rd governor shortly at 10:42 a.m. Wednesday when, in a break from tradition, he took the oath of office in the rotunda of the Capitol as hundreds of people looked on. Governors are typically sworn in with the rest of the statewide office holders in front of the Legislature.
"There's a new governor in town," Inslee declared minutes later when he and his wife, Trudi, entered the lobby of the office that will be his for the next four years. They were there to meet with now former governor, Chris Gregoire.
Following that sitdown, Inslee delivered the inaugural address to the Legislature. In mid-afternoon he and invited friends played basketball at the governor's mansion, using a new hoop he had installed on the garage. He returned to the Capitol last evening for the Inaugural Ball.
The Bainbridge Island resident who lost a 1996 bid for governor, served eight terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, the last seven in the 1st District which included south Snohomish County.
He enters office facing a divided government as Democrats hold a majority in the House while the Senate is guided by the coalition of 23 Republicans and two Democrats.
Topping the list of challenges for him is erasing a projected $900 million deficit in the next state budget.
And there is the task of complying with a Supreme Court order to increase state aid to public schools.
In his speech, he gave no indication he's open to new taxes or fees or keeping some temporary taxes in place as a source of money -- though Democrats in the House and Senate are pushing such ideas.
Inslee said a commitment to education should be honored "through systemic, sustainable reform of our schools."
On gun violence, Inslee cited the slayings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in pledging to tackle the vexing problem in Washington.
"Any failure to address the issue of violence in our communities and our schools will be intolerable," he said.
He suggested a "common-sense solution" lies in doing a better job treating those with mental illness and keeping guns out of the wrong hands "while respecting the right of my son to hunt and my uncle to defend his home."
As he did on the campaign trail, Inslee endorsed drafting a broad transportation plan. He said it should recognize "creativity is as important as concrete" and deal not only with roads but also trains, light rail, buses, bike and pedestrian routes and other nontraditional modes.
Inslee's full remarks as prepared can be found online at www.governor.wa.gov.

The gap between animal-agriculture and consumer perceptions of food production continues to grow, and we need to communicate better with the general public. Most participants at last week's Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholder Summit would agree with that statement. But once the discussion shifted to specific messages and methods for addressing that perception gap, the opinions were, well, less in alignment.
The theme for this year's summit was "Activists at the door: Protecting animals, farms, food and consumer confidence." The first speaker was Joe Miller, general counsel for Rose Acre Farms, a large egg-production operation. Miller focused largely on "livestock interference" legislation, or the so-called "Ag-Gag" laws passed in eight states and under consideration in others.
As a lawyer, Miller approached the issue from a legal standpoint, stressing the laws protect businesses from spying and clandestine videos, but do not prevent whistle-blowing or reporting of abuse on farms or ranches.
Miller stressed that an expectation of privacy in businesses and some limitations on First Amendment free-speech rights are well established in U.S. law. He also noted that most of the new laws require immediate reporting if employees observe incidents of abuse, while animal-rights groups have withheld clandestine videos for months while gathering more evidence. Thus he says the laws will promote better animal care.
Opponents of these laws maintain that consumers have a right to see how food is produced, but Miller said they really have no such right. He was speaking from a legal perspective, but his statement drew criticism from several later speakers and panel members who insisted whether consumers have a legal right or not, the industry has an obligation to provide the public with information and transparency.
Miller acknowledged agriculture needs to engage consumers in a discussion of animal welfare and other issues of concern in livestock production. His statement that "they don't need to understand us, we need to understand them" found agreement among the audience and other speakers.
Kathy Keiffer, a broadcaster who produces a food-issue program on the Heritage Radio Network had a different perspective. Saying consumer awareness is the biggest change occurring in the food business, Keiffer maintained that agriculture makes a mistake by responding to consumer concerns in a defensive, crisis mode. We try to shoot down activists while stonewalling, redirecting blame and maintaining a veil of secrecy. She stressed that activists continue to catch animal-abuse offenders in spite of the industry claiming the videos are isolated incidents. The farm-protection bills send the wrong message, she insisted, by indicating farmers and ranchers are unwilling to let the public know how livestock are raised.
Keiffer, who stressed she is a meat lover who supports livestock producers, also said mainstream animal agriculture needs to reconsider its defense of some uses of antibiotics and beta agonists. She cited antibiotic residues in animal waste and antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and said 160 countries have banned the use of ractopamine in livestock. Animal agriculture's scientific defense of these products, she maintains, send a message that the industry favors profit motive over public safety.
We're in the midst of a food revolution, Keiffer says. Influential celebrity chefs are embracing new paradigms in raising livestock and progressive food companies are shifting toward more "natural' production systems. Keiffer acknowledged that specialty meats such as organic or free range cost more, often a lot more, and seemed to suggest there is huge, untapped demand for these products, even at exponentially higher prices, which caused some eyes to roll in the audience.
Many in the audience disagreed with some of the details in Keiffer's presentation, but accepted her message that stakeholders in animal agriculture need to listen to consumers and embrace change.
Taking more of the middle road, David Westcott, director of digital strategy for APCO Worldwide and a social-media expert joined a panel on using social media. He led off saying legal arguments to defend practices do not play well with consumers. In response to the earlier statement that consumers "do not have a right to know how their food is produced," he responded "tell that to a mom."
As for dialog with consumers, he simplified the process by suggesting three steps:
- Know who your stakeholders are.
- Ask them what they want.
- Give it to them.

Sony 400 Blu Ray Disc Changer
[font family="Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"size="24" color="DE0202" textshadow="0" alignment="center" weight="bold" style="normal" lineheight="110"]Change Over 400 Discs Automatically[/font]
Have you ever fallen in love with something that couldn't love you back? Well in my case, I have. But don't worry; this story doesn't end in heartbreak or shed tears, but rather in endless hours of great movie watching experience. I purchased the Sony BDP CX7000ES a few months ago as a gift to myself after getting promoted at the office. Otherwise, there was no way I would spend as much as I did on the unit if I too, wasn't getting an upgrade in my income.
This Blu Ray Disc Changer Is Really Impressing!
There is absolutely nothing I don't like about the Sony BDP CX7000ES. Everything from its size to its features is very impressive. I would have to deem it the ultimate media player, and not just because it can play and organize up to 400 different discs and CDs, but also because it's the only thing you need in a home entertainment and theater system.

Main Features
A couple of main features that I would like to point out:
[list style="blue-check-5"]
- First off, it's capability to hold up to 400 Blu-Ray discs, DVDs and CDs is amazing. I don't personally think a lot of people have that massive of a collection, but if you're a movie lover like me then it won't be long until you've reached that limit. I'm more than halfway there.
- You're able to download the cover, title, category and other movie information onto an onscreen display. This makes it easy to sort and search through all your movies.
- In addition, the Sony BDP-CX7000ES has all the same capabilities of traditional Blu-Ray disc player; which includes HD audio support, full HD 1080p video output, BD-live access and can upgrade the quality of DVDs to near HD images.
- It's compatible with any type of audio system because of the 7.1 channel analog output.
- Loading and ejecting discs is so quick and easy. You can literally watch another movie in less than two seconds. Only a fraction of the time it usually takes if you have a regular single disc player.
- The picture quality is absolutely amazing. It's so clear and the images are so vibrant; it makes watching movies so much more enjoyable.
- It's easy to set up and use. I just took a quick scan of the instruction manual before I experimented with the unit. Setting up the menus and navigating through the different features was not at all difficult. Actually, I think the most difficult (and tedious) part of the whole set up process was just loading the discs. And I only have about 220, what more if you had all 400.
What Other Buyers Saying
[testimonial testimonialimgurl="" tessize="small" style="TI"]Overall, this thing does store 399 of my movies (not 400 because of that rental slot), picked up the names of all of them, and seems to work as advertised.[/testimonial]
[testimonial testimonialimgurl="" tessize="small" style="TI"]If you are a home theater freek like me, you know the hassles of storing dvd/bd close to your player. This unit solves this problem while keeping disks clean,in order with pic of cover. The quality of play back is well ahead of any BD player I have seen. Buy one, You will love it! [/testimonial]
[testimonial testimonialimgurl="" tessize="small" style="TI"]I have hundreds of discs in several different formats. This device helped me to store and organize them all together with easy access and the familiar Sony Xcross navigation. [/testimonial]

Overall, the Sony BDP-CX7000ES delivers in every single aspect when it comes to providing excellent quality, convenience and performance. Like I said, what's not to like about this unit? And it also comes with a 5 year limited warranty on all parts and labor. So if anything were to go wrong, then Sony fixes it for free. I've had mine for just over a month, and so far so good.
