Kilroy Was There
In the summer of 1941, Adolf Hitler's apparently invincible Wehrmacht was grinding hundreds of miles into the Soviet Union, spreading mayhem all the way. Defiant Britain suffered crushing defeat in North Africa and the Balkans, as well as shipping losses in the North Atlantic that threatened national survival. The voracious armies of militarist Japan were in the third year of their nearly stalemated invasion of China. In America, however, many of those drafted in 1940--for a war President Roosevelt insisted they'd never have to fight--scrawled OHIO ("Over the Hill in October") on countless barracks walls, while Congress debated an eighteen-month extension of the Selective Service system.
Eventually, the draft was extended (in the House of Representatives by only a single vote), and a mass desertion of draftees never developed--partially, perhaps, because the draft extension banned deployment of Americans outside the Western Hemisphere.
Such events, detailed in Freedom From Fear, David Kennedy's comprehensive account of "The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945," offer a different view of Americans who lived through that era--those Tom Brokaw extols in The Greatest Generation. Brokaw's superlative may not be wrong, but Freedom From Fear suggests that it's in the eye of the beholder and that not everyone need necessarily agree with Brokaw's ably defended belief that "I have the facts on my side."
The Greatest Generation is devoted primarily to the personal stories of numerous Americans (most of them "ordinary," in Brokaw's description), who were undeniably admirable and achieving, in combat sacrificial and even noble. He notes that the stories of "so many others" could have been told--but not that these could have included draft-dodgers, profiteers, slackers of various kinds, incompetents, malcontents and--for instance--the white women cited by Kennedy who "shut down a Western Electric factory in Baltimore rather than share a rest room with their black co-workers."
Like most generalities, Brokaw's can only be sustained anecdotally--a method he employs with warm affection and ample research. But when "the greatest generation" is examined more broadly and dispassionately--as Kennedy does in this notable contribution to the Oxford University Press series on American history--then, naturally, a broader and more dispassionate picture emerges. Kennedy's book is roughly divided into two (if it were not an overused word, I'd say "magisterial") sections. One is about the origins and development of, and Franklin Roosevelt's unavailing efforts to end, the Depression of the thirties. It necessarily includes an account of Herbert Hoover's Administration (1929-33) that is surprisingly and deservedly sympathetic to the Great Engineer.
The second section comprises a history of how the United States was reluctantly drawn into World War II, partly owing to FDR's bold machinations, then fought that war not only with the battlefield heroism Brokaw celebrates but with what Kennedy asserts is the most remarkable production performance of any society--ever, anywhere. By the war's end, Americans had built 88,410 tanks and 299,293 aircraft--as well as what Kennedy calls "a glittering consumer's paradise." By 1944, even with half the nation's production facilities devoted to the war, civilian purchases of goods and services had risen by 12 percent. Compare that with the Thousand-Year Reich's production of 44,857 tanks and 111,767 aircraft, not to mention the utter ruin of all its major cities.
Both sections could stand alone, as detailed as any book on either subject. Both share the same theme suggested in the overall title: that Roosevelt's persistent quest, the core of his New Deal and his wartime leadership, was for the security of Americans. "Dr. Win-the-War" pursued it by different means in a war-torn world, no less than "Dr. New Deal" (Roosevelt's self-descriptions) sought it in economic and social reform. Both efforts, Kennedy makes clear, succeeded almost in spite of politics, tradition, public incomprehension, FDR's idiosyncrasies and fanatical opposition at home and abroad.
Brokaw focuses on individual achievements--only occasionally venturing into such polemical judgments as that the greatest generation "stayed true to [its] values of personal responsibility, duty, honor and faith." It's in such claims that Brokaw's title thesis is at its weakest--for example, when he says on no cited evidence that in 1940 it had become "clear to all but a few delusional isolationists that war would define this generation's coming of age."

Wife who stabbed husband 200 times may get review
Woman who killed husband may get new sentence
By Brian Rogers | February 26, 2009
Photo By KHOU-TVHarris County prosecutors Kelly Siegler and Paul Doyle demonstrate during Susan Wright's 2004 murder trial how she tied her husband to a bed and stabbed him.
Photo By Houston Chronicle
Susan Wright reacts to testimony of her father-in-law, Ron Wright Sr. during the punishment phase of her murder trial after a jury found her guilty of murder in 2004 in the stabbing of her husband. Ron Wright told jurors: "She is evil."
A Houston judge has agreed that a woman convicted of tying her husband to their bed and stabbing him almost 200 times deserves a new punishment phase because certain witnesses were never called to testify in her trial.
The ruling by state District Judge Jim Wallace will now go to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which will clear the way for a new punishment phase for Susan Wright if it agrees.
Wright was convicted of murder in March 2004 and sentenced to 25 years for killing Jeffrey Wright, 34, at the couple's northwest Harris County home on Jan. 13, 2003.
After burying his body in a hole he had dug for a fountain on their patio, she tried to conceal evidence of the slaying with paint and bleach.
Wright's attorney, Brian Wice, had sought a new trial because he maintained that her original attorney had provided an ineffective defense. Wallace denied the request for a new trial, but recommended the new punishment phase.
That could backfire, however, since a new jury could choose a lengthier sentence, up to life in prison.
Wice contended that jurors should have heard from some important witnesses in the original trial, including an expert on sudden passion; an expert on battered-wife syndrome; and Misty McMichael, who had dated Jeffrey Wright before he married Susan.
McMichael testified in a hearing in October that she suffered physical abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Wright during the period she dated him about 1989 to 1991.
Wright's new lawyers argue that McMichael's testimony could have persuaded jurors to believe Wright's claim that she had suffered years of abuse at Jeffrey Wright's hands.
"He was charming in the beginning," McMichael told Judge Wallace in the October hearing. "Then he wanted to kill you."
She said she left him in 1991.
She is now married to Steve McMichael, a former University of Texas All-American and member of the 1985 Chicago Bears team that won the Super Bowl. He later became a professional wrestler.
Misty McMichael said she didn't condone Susan Wright's actions, but understood them and believed that Wright was trying to protect her children.
Susan Wright testified in her 2004 trial that her husband had abused her for years and that she killed him after he raped her and threatened her with a knife. She also said that he threatened to take her young son away from her.
Prosecutors said she killed him so she could collect his life insurance and start a new life.

2013 Range Rover road test
Low-profile tires, high-profile image and off-road ready
The Range Rover has a tough image hill to climb in the U.S.
This descendant of safari notoriety handles like a sleek luxury sedan. But it rolls like a privileged brat of high society.
Just because it is handsome, expensive and New York City is the largest metro market, doesn't mean the Range Rover has been sissified.
The re-engineered 2013 model is only the fourth generation in 42 years and this is the first redo in 12 years.
While the exterior styling is familiar, the new model is a complete re-engineering with an all-aluminum body, which saved 700 pounds over its predecessor.
It also is equipped with a computer bank of electronic assist systems, including four-corner air suspension. And an off-road Terrain Response System that can be set for street, snow, mud, sand or rock crawl – or just leave it auto mode and let the computer decide the proper approach.
Sold in two 5.0-liter V-8 packages, pricing starts at $83,545. The 510-hp, supercharged model is $99,995 and the ultimate Autobiography model is $136,000.
The supercharged test truck was $115,140 with options, which included a 19-speaker audio system, rear seat (headrest) DVD screens and headphones and power door closers. The Vision Assist upgrade, $1,760, added a very revealing surround camera system, blind-spot monitor and reverse traffic detection. Leave the parallel parking to the Rover for $650.
With 5,100 pounds to heft, the supercharged V-8 – with 461 foot-pounds of torque – vaporizes poundage and fires off a visceral rush of acceleration to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
Fuel economy ratings are 13 mpg city, 19 highway and 15 mpg combined. The non-supercharged improves mileage by just 1 mpg in both cycles. An eight-speed automatic rolls through the gears with elegant delivery.
Later in 2013, certain European and Asian markets will have a diesel hybrid powertrain. But it is NOT certified for sale in North America.
Of course, the Range Rover is still engineered to ford rivers and the flood of holiday shoppers at the mall. The new model's wading depth was improved by 7.8-inches to almost three feet (a new air intake system draws air through ducting in the hood).
Ground clearance was increased by about a half inch to nearly a foot at the off-road ride height. Every millimeter matters for off-road approach and departure angles. The bottom side is smooth.
Gradient Acceleration Control and hill-start assist are quite handy off-road to prevent an inadvertent and unwelcome rollback by holding the brakes a second or two. And to leave no stoneware unturned, the two-speed permanent four-wheel drive has high and low ranges.
While the exterior footprint is about the same there, there is more than 4.6 inches of new back-seat legroom. This is a tasteful pleasure palace for five privileged travelers.
Leather is lavishly applied, covering nearly every interior surface from the seats and instrument panel to the doors and headlining.
Uplevel models get semi aniline leather, which is dyed but still looks and smells like a good ball glove.

After Thanksgiving, there is usually an abundance of food in the refrigerator. Everything from leftover turkey to leftover pumpkin pies, many are eating Thanksgiving leftovers for a few days after Thanksgiving Day.

One after Thanksgiving recipe for leftover sweet potato pie is sweet potato cake. Its basically using the already made for Thanksgiving sweet potato pie into a great tasting moist cake (or rolls) that can be used for a breakfast, as a side dish for dinner, or dessert.

3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes or sweet potato pie
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup beer
1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2.Stir together the sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sweet potatoes. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl; stir into the batter 1 cup at a time, alternating with the beer just until everything comes together. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
3.Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting (optional) or serving.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Gagne Still Not Ready For Return
by Paul on 11/27/07 at 10:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Philadelphia Daily News,
When Simon Gagne went out with a concussion on Nov. 7, there was a feeling that he could miss up to a month.
But now, as the Flyers are nearly at the end of the month, the likelihood is that he might take all of December to get healthy….
While this is some indication of progress, it is not a sign that he will return soon. Even after he is able to start skating and work back into practicing with the team, he will need a significant length of time at full practice to get back into game condition, as well as make sure the concussion has healed.
He can't even say when that might be right now.

text: Sprint readying Galaxy Nexus LTE promotional store Posters, April 15th looks Solid Stormy Beach 10 April, 2012 1 Comment HTC this, HTC that. The HTC EVO 4G LTE does look like a stellar device. Many of you die -hard EVO and HTC fans a like are going to flock to the stores to snag one. Does that mean the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is any less awesome. Not really. The point of Android is to offer diversity. Having a Google branded stock AOSP device land on Sprint is going to be almost as big of a deal as when it first launched. Packing in their LTE radios and Google Wallet is sure to make some people want to pick it up. While Sprint's LTE network isn't ready to rock just yet, at least you know it is coming. The first cities to get the LTE treatment have been announced as Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City and San Antonio. Some say the G-Nex is old news. Most thanks to Verizon and their lackluster desire to promote it, AT ALL. It could have been a much bigger launch had all 4 major players picked it up together. I suppose that defeats the purpose of 'exclusive,' though. I always think back to something I was constantly told at T-Mobile, "We are a service provider, we don't make phones." If that was really the case, then why do carriers get exclusives to certain devices or launch their own line, like the myTouch series for instance? No matter, Sprint getting the Gnex and the EVO 4G LTE should do wonders for their customers. Anyone out there weighing their options between the two? Source: Phandroid Chris Not even a second thought. Waiting for the HTC EVO LTE. The Nexus was a mediocre device when it launched on my Verizon service last year. I didn't waste my upgrade on it because of the display, camera, no sd, etc… 4 months later it's even less appealing. Sure, for the "I must have stock android!" crowd it might be somewhat titillating. The S2 has come out since then, and some other very nice devices. The Nexus is already a dinosaur on the spec sheet. The Evo LTE may make me jump carriers and finally pick up a worthwhile phone. I am over my DroidX and really don't feel like waiting another 6+ months for the S3 to come to the US and possibly not even be able to get it (thanks, Verizon).

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — After 19 years working as a cook at Atlantic City's Showboat Casino, Dave Rose is counting the weeks until he and about 2,000 fellow workers lose their jobs when the casino is shuttered at the end of the summer.
The Showboat is among three major casinos planning to close this year in this struggling New Jersey shore city — a trend that has some tourism officials talking about revamping the aging gambling mecca to broaden its appeal beyond bachelor parties and bus loads of retirees, with more family-friendly attractions.
"They've been saying that for 10 years," said Rose, who holds out little hope of that strategy working and fears he will have a hard time finding a job that matches the $18.18 per hour he earns at the Showboat.
"There aren't too many good-paying jobs out there," he said. The unemployment rate in the city stood at 10.3 percent in May, among the highest of any major U.S. metropolitan area and well above the national rate, which was at 6.3 percent in May, and has since fallen to 6.1 percent in June.
Atlantic City, which once held a lucrative East Coast gambling monopoly, has fallen hard. Gaming revenue has fallen to $2.8 billion, a little more than half its 2006 peak of $5.2 billion.
The decline reflects the opening of new casinos in the northeastern United States in recent years: Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Maryland and Connecticut all have casinos and Massachusetts is in the process of awarding licenses.
One of the main questions for officials and workers in Atlantic City is: After Caesars Entertainment Corp pulls the plug on the Showboat on Aug. 31, how many of the city's remaining 10 casinos will survive?
On Friday, lawyers for Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino told state officials that Trump Plaza would shut its doors for good in mid-September.
"I believe Sept. 16 is the targeted closure date that we were told," New Jersey Assemblyman Vince Mazzeo told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Mazzeo said he and state Sen. Jim Whelan were informed Friday afternoon by a Trump Plaza lawyer.
Mazzeo said the attorney told him that Trump Plaza management plans to make a formal announcement and issue 60-day layoff notices to 1,600 employees on Monday.
In addition, the Revel casino and resort, which was a centerpiece of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's effort to bring Las Vegas-quality gambling to Atlantic City's declining gaming business when it opened in April 2012, last month filed for bankruptcy for the second time in its short history.
The Revel, which employs 3,140 workers and is losing $2 million a week even in the peak summer season, is trying to line up a buyer. If it doesn't find one in the next few weeks it plans to close.
Christie had provided a $261 million tax package to help build Revel after Morgan Stanley, which had begun building the casino, pulled out of the project two years ago and took a $932 million loss.
"We still have five or six relatively successful casinos," said John Palmieri, the executive director of New Jersey's Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, an economic development agency funded by a tax on casinos. "There were 12. Can we support nine' Will that end up dropping to seven or eight' That's the big question."
Losing more casinos could punch a big hole in Atlantic City's budget, which has historically offered generous contracts to public employees and relied on casinos to provide about 80 percent of its tax revenue, said Michael Busler, a professor of finance at Richard Stockton College, located in Galloway, N.J.
"We aren't done dropping yet," Busler said. "What [the mayor] has to do is get spending way down."
Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian took office early this year to discover the city ran a $10 million budget deficit last year, a number that is on track to rise this year without budget action. Almost one in three city residents live below the poverty line, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, more than triple the poverty rate across New Jersey.
In a teleconference on Thursday to brief the media on the city's efforts to address changing market conditions, Guardian acknowledged the singular focus on gaming had run its course.
"We put all our eggs in one basket," the mayor said. "We know that was foolish."
He voiced optimism about the resilience of the city.

The hotel was updated, breakfast was good
The business center computer was not operational.
Affordable, clean, en route to where we were headed. Exactly what we were looking for.
Room was very large
Comfortable bed
Decent shower
Easy to get to
Rug needed vaccuming
No breakfast included
The location is proably good
Load music on Friday evening/ dirty dinning area.
Convenient like the restaurant.
I would stay there again.
The room was very clean. The complimentary breakfast was Amazing. The work out room was clean quite just a little hot. The indoor pool area was amazing for kids and adults
The only thing I didn't like was our heat kept working for a little while then it would start blowing cold air all night. And it had no microwave or mini refrigerator
Location and value
Small area for breakfast
Decent hot breakfast as these things go.
Pre registration was a good idea but they did not follow through on specific requests and would not accommodate once we got there.
1. Breakfast is not that great.
2. No stores or restaurants near by hotel.
3. Swimming pool open only till 9 PM.
excellent location right off the interstate. easy drive to buffalo. not far from niagara falls. excellent price, quiet.
really nothing.
Nothing..very bad experience
Worst stay overall
Rooms were old, outdated, smelled like smoke. Breakfast wasn't anything worth eating.Snow and ice covered over 50% of the parking from a month ago. Truck drivers blocked vehicles that were parked. Pretty much sucked.
Location for me. It all went down hill from there.
Rate started out at $---- a night, then my rate was $---- a night when I asked them to match Motel 6 rate which was across the street. I was one of those lucky people who got stuck in the Buffalo storm. With no way to get out they tried to raise rate to $
Everything was clean and very comfortable! Breakfast was great, but it was too chilly to try out the pool.
Breakfast was very crowded but otherwise I have no complaints.
Friendly & helpful staff, AWESOME breakfast that was well-stocked and kept clean. Great grounds. Clean motel. Laundry facilities. Highly recommend!!
Wished there was an indoor pool in addition to the outdoor one.
Hotel on premises, location to public transportation, cleanliness, overall everything was great
not an ice machine on every floor, slow elevators
Location was great! Had to be at the convention center and hotel is just a short walk from the convention center. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was excellent! Also liked the complimentary bottled water.
Refrigerator could have been a bit colder but kept food cold enough.
People that worked there made you feel at home,they were really nice and welcome us with a smile. They provided info of fun things to do.
Breakfast area a little small, but they open the meeting room so not a problem
Staff was very kind and helpful.
The bed seemed smaller than a queen so I slept on the sofa soy daughter had enough room
Everything was wonderful. The room was large, beds were comfy, large TV, big modern bathroom and an excellent hot breakfast was included.
The hotel is right off the highway, but traffic noise was minimal.
Was close to where had to be next morning early.
The hotel was impressive for the price point and every staff member we interacted with was pleasant and helpful.
Nothing would never recommend this hotel to anyone!
smell of paint
The staff was friendly and the complimentary shuttle service was very accessible. Location to local shopping is excellent.
The restaurant was way too expensive. Television channel selection was very limited. Free WiFi signal was erratic.

Schools And Libraries Program:
Actions Taken to Improve Operational Procedures Prior to Committing Funds

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Schools and Libraries Corporation's progress in implementing GAO's July 16, 1998, recommendations for improving its procedures and internal controls.
GAO noted that: (1) the Corporation has taken actions to implement the key recommendations that GAO believed needed to be completed prior to issuing any funding commitment letters to applicants; (2) these included: (a) sampling processed applications to identify and correct any systemic weaknesses in program integrity review procedures; (b) finalizing the program's procedures, automated systems, and internal controls; and (c) obtaining a report from its independent accountants on the suitability of the Corporation's internal controls to prevent or detect material departures from its program objectives; (3) the Corporation is taking action on GAO's recommendation to complete special reviews of high-risk applicants before issuing commitment letters to these applicants; (4) the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not yet implemented GAO's recommendation to develop adequate goals, performance targets, and measures for the program; (5) with GAO's key operational recommendations implemented, the Corporation began issuing its funding commitments for the first year to applicants in late November 1998; (6) the program still faces major challenges as it moves into new operational areas, such as reviewing and authorizing reimbursements to vendors; and (7) given the fact that the program is still essentially in a start-up mode, close oversight by FCC will be especially important in helping to identify and resolve operational problems.

Dog Discussion Forum on Behavior problem, Dog training questions & answers by dog owners. We are not vets but we often can help or guide on dog health & training behavior issues.
Emergency and First Aid Kit for Dogs
Be prepared for disasters or emergencies, carry a kit in your car and have one at home.
When the unthinkable strikes, don't be sorry.. be prepared!
4-5 month old puppy. Loose stool and blood.
Driven by diet or illnesses, dog can react by vomiting or diarrhea. What is happening to your dog? Let's help each other!
4-5 month old puppy. Loose stool and blood.
I just bought a puppy [spaniel] about two weeks ago. She's about 4.5 months old. We took her to the vet two days after we got her, and they ran a fecal test, which came back negative for anything. Her only problem from a mild ear infection, which we have topical antibiotics for.
Recently, two days now, she's had small amounts of bright pink blood in some of her stools. Her stools have also been very loose. She is fed once, sometimes twice a day.
Could this be anal bleeding, or something more serious? Would giving her rice w/ chicken broth help?
first of all, you don't feed a puppy "once, sometimes two times a day"! Your puppy needs to be fed twice a day EVERY day & I would also suggest a late nite snack to help keep her glucose levels up during the nite.
What are you feeding her? Does it have any red pieces in it?
blood in the stool is never something to be ignored. Take a stool sample to your vet for analysis. It is possible to get a false negative if the fecal was done when there were no larva present.
Is she straining when she poops? Sometimes the anus becomes raw just from diarrhea.
Just for future reference - when a bland diet is needed it is never with chicken broth. It is boiled, rinsed hamburg or chicken. It is boiled & rinsed to eliminate any grease. By using broth you would be putting the "grease" back into it
Thanks for the tip on chicken broth. I didn't know that it introduced grease.
She isn't straining when she goes, from what I've seen when I take them out to play. She is kept in a small room instead of a crate at night, so she has some accidents then and I can't vouch for that.
I was able to get an appointment this afternoon, so we'll see what they say then.
It's gone from bad to worse. There's nothing but blood now and it's bright red. She doesn't seem to be acting strangely, but I'm very worried - about Wookie, about the money, about my kids, and about my other dog. 3:00 can't come fast enough.
Could it be a virus? What kind? Can my other dog get it? What about cats or humans?
it really sounds more like an internal injury rather than a virus. It it were parvo or some other virus she would be down & out & vomiting.
Have you been giving her rawhides? that would do it. Some kind of bones? Did she get into the trash & get something sharp?
If she had a severs infestation of hooks or whips that could do it but if they are that bad they should have shown up on the fecal.
Please let us know.
I just got back from the vet. The bill was enough to make me vomit.
They ran another fecal, but nothing came back. The vet said that was common. He did a rectal, and found alot of bleeding. He found no signs of injury. He suggested that it was either a) parasites that hadn't shed their eggs, or b) some kind lower bowel infection. He gave her a deworming medication in the office and sent me home with an antibiotic and something to attack the parasites.
A few things came together. I had commented to my husband that Wookie eats more than any dog I have ever had, including my old rottweiler. Today, I found out that she's actually lost weight. Go figure.
He also did a blood test on my older dog, for any signs of infection or infestation. The results will come back tomorrow. In any case, we're going to have her spayed just to prevent any kind of uterine problems.
They're both on I/D Prescription Diet now for a week or two.
The only thing we gave her to chew on were those little cylinder boney things, and some bagged puppy chews. No raw hides.
hmm something is just not right here. While she is on the antibiotics give her plain yogurt to help the good bacteria.
What kind of food were you feeding her? It is odd that she would be losing weight if she is eating that much. Unless it was a brand that is full of fillers.
I would suggest strongly that you feed her a straight bland diet of boiled rice, boiled hamburger (1/3 meat to 2/3 rice) with some mashed canned sweet potato in it and some yogurt to keep the good bacteria in the good healthy. Something really does not sound right. No treats or anything else. You need to get her gut settled down fast. Oh yeah, dogs and vet bills can run pretty high. Have you talked to the breeder you got her from? If not, I suggest you contact them!
We bought her from a local pet store. The owner, described as an avid pet lover, is friends with my cousin, so we thought we were safe. I'm going to call her tomorrow and let her know what's going on. This dog, so far, has had an ear and eye infection (picked up the visit the day after we got her).
The conditions the dogs were in were less than optimal. Tiny cages, like you see cats in the pound in. She said it was only temporary, as she was remodeling the puppy section. I'm believed that less and less as this goes on. Her other dogs need to be checked, as I know mine was clean.
I had dropped them off at my parents house after I went to the vet (interview). When I picked them up, Wookie just puked. And puked, and puked again. Huge piles of flesh colored garbage with all the scraps she'd stolen off my kids' plates this morning as well as some funky colored chunks of...something. I started panicking, paged the vet, and he was very happy. He said it was a good sign that the deworming medication was working. He said the nasty chunks were the worms, and from the sounds of it, she had a nasty infestation. They want her back in in three or four weeks to give her another round of medication. Until then, I have two bottles sitting in front of me : metranidazole and albon.
The only problem with the boiled rice/meat is that over the next three days the only time I will be home is after 7. Other than that, it's just going to be my roommate or husband keeping an eye on them, and neither of them I can trust to go through the effort (but I can trust them to scoop food out of a bag and put in in their bowls). I'll try it when I'm home, though. I'm sure it works better.
The bill was $275. He just kept saying 'They need this and they need that' and then it was...so much...
the albon is an antibiotic used most often for coccidia which would show blood in the stool, altho it would not present as chunks in vomit. It is not a worm. I guess it could be used for something else. The metranidazole is for the stomach.
You are missing the point on the need for the rice & hmbg or chicken. You can make a quanity up & the husband can scoop that out for the puppy. It is not an option! It is not an if it suits everybody! This puppy is very sick & needs care. Puppies have died from parasites
To put her right back on dog food is going to be very detremental to her health.
Just for the record - all puppies from pet stores are from puppymills or byb's. Reputable breeders do not sell to pet stores. The person who owns this store could care less about the dogs. You can bet your puppy was probably sold & returned at least once- very possibley because it was sick. That is usually the reason a store would have a puppy that old!
It never ceases to amaze me. At the very front of this forum it says to consult your vet. And when my vet says to me 'You can make her rice and hamburger or you can feed her this food' why shouldn't I feed her the food?
Come to a forum for advice and support and get this abuse? Very nice. This was a mistake.
The hamburger is the best way in this situation, I am guessing that you do not want to spend the money-since feeding meat is more expensive then dog food.
I did not see any abuse what so ever, they are being firm, but not abusive.
Dogs from petstores are often in bad condition. My aunt purchased a cocker spaniel/poodle from petland and it came to her with double pnemonia.
Altari.......I have seen no abuse directed at you either... What you have is a critically ill puppy......and one that has had some bad breaks in early life. Most of us here are going to come down on the side of doing what is best for your puppy and to be honest, not all vets are going to see it that way. Many are quite happy to take your money and not worry as much about what is best for your puppy! We are trying to help you save money and time in the long run......by helping you get this puppy healthy and strong now. That way in years down the road you will have a strong healthy dog. Sure you can feed the puppy the bagged food however don't expect it to work as well as making the bland diet! And if you have a few more trips to the vet and have to shell out a few hundred more $$, that's up to you...Many of us here have many years experience dealing with sick dogs and have learned the hard way. We are trying to help you so you won't have to learn things the hard way but it is entirely up to you if you chose to...just don't come crying to us when they get bad.......we simply would like to see the puppy get well as fast as possible and not suffer...

After creating an OLE object using the CREATEOBEJCT() function, releasing that object does not remove the OLE application session from memory.
For Visual FoxPro to remove certain OLE application session objects from memory, the OLE application must be terminated. For example, after running the following code, three instances of Microsoft Excel remain in memory:
To end each Microsoft Excel session before reentering the FOR loop, the Microsoft Excel session must first be terminated. For example:
In this example, Microsoft Excel is told to quit, and then the code releases the memory variable in Visual FoxPro by using the oObject.Release command. Quit is a method that Microsoft Excel recognizes and can act upon, the actual method for your OLE automation application may differ.
This behavior is by design.
The OLE Automation release method is program specific. In the previous example, Microsoft Excel was used. Microsoft Excel version 7.0 is designed to remain in memory after a OLE object is released. However, other programs may behave differently. For example, Microsoft Word version 7.0 terminates with just a RELEASE command.
For more information on how your program will handle an OLE Automation RELEASE command, please refer to that program's documentation or refer to the vendor of that program.

Lady GaGa
United Nude Makes Shoes For Lady Gaga Perfume LaunchOctober 2012
Rem D Koolhaas, Creative Director, United Nude: "We were invited to make a shoe for Lady Gaga's new FAME perfume launch. Since we are fans, we thought we'd give it a try. They wanted the shoes to be as high as possible, so that's what they got (over 12inches!). We came up with a few concepts, one of which was inspired by her own FAME campaign where she's a naked giant and people are climbing on her. In the case of the shoes, we went for climbing gold men, and yes they are nude, United Nude."

Updated: July 1, 2009, 12:03 AM ETAssociated Press
SAN DIEGO -- Jake Peavy's injured right ankle was re-examined Tuesday, and the San Diego Padres ace could get his protective boot off in about two weeks.
Peavy, the 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner, has been on the disabled list since June 13 with a strained tendon. He was injured running the bases against the Chicago Cubs in late May.

Australia's agriculture sector could see a boom in Chinese investment in the coming years at a time when interest in its resources sector is facing a slowdown, according to KPMG.
Doug Ferguson, head of KPMG Australia's China Practice, said that Chinese companies are showing an increasing appetite for investing in Australia's food sector "from gate to plate" as they seek to meet rising food demand at home and capture more expertise from Australia's companies and farmers.
Banks, both domestic and Chinese, are also increasingly interested in financing the sector at a time when many miners and energy producers are struggling to secure financing for new projects in the face of falling commodity prices and concerns of a falloff in demand, according to a report by the advisory firm.

Foreign ownership of farm land is a sensitive issue in Australia and across the "ditch" in New Zealand.
Debate over whether to sell the farm to investors from hungry but wealthy regions like Asia and the Middle East will take center stage at the largest agricultural show held in southern hemisphere this week in Hamilton on New Zealand's North Island.
The sale of Crafar Farms, a block of 16 dairy and drystock farms, to Chinese bidders Shanghai Pengxin this year has polorized the issue of foreign ownership in New Zealand in a way not seen since the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840 between the local Maori population and the European settlers. The government has approved twice the sale of Crafar Farms to the Chinese bidders, but the transfer of ownership has again been held up after a new appeal was filed to block the deal.
Aussie salt is pleasing to the palate, both home and away.
Ridley Corporation could sell its Cheetham Salt asset for more than 240 million Australian dollars (US$256 million), a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
Strategic buyers, private equity investors and global agricultural investment funds have expressed interest, the person said, adding that buyers were drawn to the asset due to its sustainable nature, negative correlation to equity markets and yield of between 9% and 10%.
