Cory Jefferson added 21 points, Brady Heslip had 14 and Isaiah Austin 13 for Baylor (20-14). Carrick Felix scored 23 points to lead Arizona State (22-13). Jahii Carson - the top-scoring freshman in the country - had 20 points, Chris Colvin scored 15 and Evan Gordon 14. Baylor was up 84-78 with 44 seconds left before Arizona State cut it to 85-83 with 26 seconds to play. Jefferson hit one free throw to put Baylor back up by three, but Carson turned the ball over under the Sun Devils' basket. The teams then combined to shoot 10 free throws in the final 24 seconds. Jefferson scored six early points to help Baylor jump out to a 12-4 lead. Heslip, on a pass from Walton, hit a wide-open 3-pointer, prompting Arizona State coach Herb Sendek to call a timeout just 3:45 into the game.

Firstly, with posture, it is critical that the individual both walks tall and sits tall. This has to be learned in the teenage years and maintained throughout their life. One never thinks about how they walk, but it is essential that the taller person maintains the head up, shoulders back and chest out style walk. A slouching style of walking will inevitably lead to spinal and or back pain.
Secondly, in the combat against bad posture, the tall teenager should develop a strong core. The core muscles are those around the stomach, abdomen and lower back. The key thing about this set of muscles is that they support the upper body, which can be a considerably bigger weight to support than somebody 18 inches smaller than you. Each time you swivel or rotate your upper body, the core muscles provide the foundation of that movement. In fact, almost every movement of your body, involves the core muscles. There are many well documented and safe exercises for strengthening the core muscles.
Finally, stretching is a great discipline for the taller teenager to learn. Use both lower and upper back stretching techniques to relax the back and strengthen. Even upper leg, neck and shoulder stretches assist the maintenance of good posture, balance and strength conditioning. The overall benefits of a regular exercising and stretching regime is well documented in many journals for the avoidance and reduction of back pain.

Is there a reliable way to map touch screen controls to the gamepad functions yet?
Maybe something along the lines of creating an overlay lined up with onscreen controls, linked to the hardware buttons?
Fairly limited to what you can do otherwise.
We're working on getting something integrated to enable touch screen control mapping, although if you've rooted M.O.J.O. using Paul's mod then something like Tincore Keymapper has you covered.

I have loads of questions:
1) Does GTA Vice city/San Andreas work?
2) Do YOU THink Mojo will be a HIT or Flop?
3) I think the price is Waaaayyy to high!!! £219.. Is alot for a android console. Do you think the price should have been less around £129?
4) Whats the Best alternative: I want a Andriod Console, Cheap, TEGA 4 , 2GB RAM , can play good games and be used as a media playback device. It hard to find, but do you think there is a furture for Android Consoles
Phones: Samsung Galaxy S4 Qualcomm & Huawei Ascend G300

Once you've rooted, Vice City works just fine. San Andreas is currently not available rooted or unrooted but Rockstar's developer has it working fine on M.O.J.O. so we're just waiting for them to enable it.
The price is absolutely correct for the level of hardware that you're getting in M.O.J.O.. Remember that if you're comparing with other Android consoles released so far you're not comparing like with like: they're using older chipsets that are less powerful by at least a factor of five. Even if you compare with an Android phone, as some do, there's still a distortion there in terms of price expectation - sure, I can get a Galaxy S4 for around £100 if I go for a 2 year contract, but if I want to buy one sim-free then you're looking at something more like £420. Either way you do end up paying for the phone somehow!
Plus you're getting the best Bluetooth game controller available today when you get one.
If you want a powerful Android-based console that the community are already starting to open up to then M.O.J.O. is it and with more great features on the way (such as Gamestream) it's a box that's only going to get even better. So to answer your final question (and also question 2), we think there is definitely a future for Android consoles, which is why we're here with M.O.J.O..

I take it you didn't read my fourth post down. And yes, swap is being used. I would never have thought this was a problem if I hadn't seen symptoms that were reminiscent of a memory leak.
Typically what I notice is that after such a stall in UT (generally while the system still is using ~100MB of cache), the amount of swap used increases. This means, to me, that the cache isn't being cleared out fast enough to eliminate the need for the swap. In other words, I'd really like to see an option to force Linux to leave some more free RAM, and see if that fixes the problem. I'm sure it's possible to make Linux do this, but I was hoping that there was an option for it.
Regardless, I'm going to be moving back to Windows for at least a little bit. Sound doesn't seem to be working with my nForce2 (although it is no longer crashing upon loading Gnome/KDE). I'll return to Linux when some new sound drivers are released.

Bladder Infection 2 0
Approval Ratings
[YEA] I found this website last night while searching for home remedies for my dog's UTI. I thought why not lets give it a shot. With the horrible economy I can't afford a $200 dollar vet bill. I started using the ACV last night. I gave my 65 pound 5 year old boxer 1.5 tablespoons mixed in with some plain yogurt. When she went out for her morning potty break she urinated only one time. It was normal in color with no blood. Just the night before she was going every 5 minutes or so and nothing was coming out and when urine did come out it was bloody. I have continued to give her the ACV today and plan to keep her on it for about a week. Boy was this one of the most effective home remedies I have ever found.

11/25/2009HELP ASAP! i dont know if my baby (1.5 yr old 36lb pitbull) has a bladder infection or not. my roomies were watching her for a week and a half and they told me shes starting to urinate and number 2 inside(dont know exatly how many days now), even when the back door is open. tonight i got home and she peed on my twise, probably with in 2 hours, and the carpet soon after. theres no blood and she doesnt seem to be in pain, shes cheery and everything but i cant tell theres something not right about her. is it a bladder infection??? or seperation anxiety for leaving her so long??? (shes very attatched to me, she was horribly abused befor i got her, shes my shadow, so could leaving leaving for a week and a half have affected her in this way?)
theres no blood, and shes doesnt seem to be having a hard time cus its a lot of urine, not whining, can walk. but shes urinating way more often then normal, and on the bed which has never happened.
please dont hastle me about not being a good moma by not taking her to the vet and coming on here for adivse, i love her very much like a daughter but i cant afford the bills or else i would.
is ACV highly recomended? please help mePosted by Pete (VeryRural, MN) on 09/21/2008
[YEA] Day 1 of ACV & I like what I see. Please read the below.
My 8 yr old Springer Spaniel had a bladder infection about 6 months ago, it was soon after she'd come out of heat, it gave her the typical discomfort, whimpering, peeing indoors, multiple dry pees outdoors etc... I took her to the vet who did the standard test & diagnosis exam, antibiotics and out the door for $275, a few days later Kayla was on the mend.
Well here we are today, yesterday actually & Kaylas been out of heat for a week now when she suddenly developes the same symptoms, as it was Saturday all I could do was sympathise w/her & made sure to walk her often. Poor girl she was panting, whimpering, pacing & me knowing the vet was at least two days away. Late last night I came to this site & saw this Apple Cider Vinegar remedy forum and figured what the heck it couldn't hurt....... I got some fresh ACV at the general store this morning and gave her 1.5 Tbsp. mixed w/her kibble. One hour later she's sleeping comfortably for a change, no whining, no visible discomfort, in fact she's obviously feeling just fine 'n dandy all afternoon. I give her another 1.5 Tbsp with tonights supper feeding, still she's feeling well & really appearing to be back to her old self. I'm retired & I'm with my dogs 24/7 mostly so I'll be careful to watch Kayla & to try to be impartial in my continued assessment of ACV treatments for UTI or bladder infections. I'll update this every day or so with a few quick comments, sorry this was so long winded but it seemed only proper to give Kaylas known history.

[NAY] Apple cider vinegar didn't help my dog. However, I found that keeping his eyes clear of discharge by using a clean index or thumb finger pad as often as possible cured the issue. You must be very gentle! At first your dog may not particularly like this being done. However, if you are very gentle with the process, your dog will soon allow you to clear his/her eyes and will be forever grateful for this ritual.Replied by Debbiefudge

03/19/2013Gently clean the eye area with some cotton wool and cooled boiled water. Not your fingers!!
A spoonfull of ACV onto the back of the dogs neck, twice a day. In about 3 days the infection will have gone. If you don't have a syringe to apply it. Just soak some cotton wool in the ACV and squeeze it onto your dogs neck. This works on cats also. I think it's systemic. Just use it like you would put flea drops on the back of the neck. Try to get it on the skin, rather than just on the fur. With a cat, you may need someone to help you!!

Lake City Us
05/09/2015Its always best to start out weak and move up to stronger solution... I suggest, after my own trial error and research to take 4 quarts of water to 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar (u can add 2 tbs of scent free tear free baby soap especailly for sensitive or irritated skin) this mix should last a 25# dog over a week.
For broken or irritated skin sponge or cloth on solution until coat n skin are damp and air dry. repeat daily until skin is healed, you can use more solution if needed just remember slowly increase the amount of acv, pat dry with towel wet dogs until damp then air dry, and never place dog where its under 70 degrees until its completely dry. ;) good luck

[YEA] Our Tibetan Mastiff/German Shepard mix puppy had really itchy dandruff and a really dull coat. I started feeding her about 5ml of apple cider vinegar once or twice a day. She really doesn't like it, and when I add it to her food, then she doesn't want to eat her food. Instead I put it in a syringe and feed it to her that way. Her coat improved in about two days, and now it is thick and shiny and not much dandruff. She also had weepy eyes and now she doesn't. Other dogs from the same litter have thin hair and patches coming out. Our landlord was so impressed that they started using it themselves! They said that our dog looked like a different dog altogether.

My dog has an ear infection, and medication is not helping. I've heard you can use Apple cider vinegar in a dilution for the ears and ive heard on a few online forums it has cured a lot of people's dogs with yeast in ear and also infected ears. How would I make a solution? Does one cup ACV To one cup of water sound right? and rinse the ear out just like you would with EPIoptic ear cleaner brought from vet? Any help would be great. thank you.Replied by Theresa

02/19/2015Hey Latasha!
If the medications are not working, I would schedule a check up with the vet who first prescribed the meds as you may be dealing with ear mites as opposed to yeast or bacteria.
That said, yes - flush the ears as you if you were using EpiOtic solution. If the ears are tender and sore I would use 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water OR use garlic infused olive oil until the skin heals as the vinegar can sting abraded skin. If the skin is not broken you can use 1 part each vinegar, water and rubbing alcohol.Posted by Shaun (Portsmouth Uk, Uk) on 11/02/2010
[YEA] May 2009 I placed a thread concerning ACV. (Apple cider Vinegar, regarding my dog's ears. Without warning my dog's ears would start to get red and inflamed. After the first signs a day or two later they would be very bad. Red, sore, and in some cases bleeding. I then apply a solution of ACV (equal amount 50/50, Apple Cider Vinegar and water), twice a day, and this within 3 to 4 days would solve the problem. Before I tried a number of vets without any resolution. They would at great cost give me ear drops and other creams etc. They never worked just money down the drain.
I now apply ACV once a week to my dog's ears using a large cotton wool ball. I just wipe the inside of the ear and squeeze the AVC solution down the ear, I never push the cotton wool ball down the ear, just simply allow the solution to run down the ear channel. I believe the problem with my dog is down to his reaction to pollen, like rolling in cut grass. If it was not for ACV, I would not know what to do. Shaun Cunningham

I was out of the eardrops and have recently been a believer of Apple Cider Vinegar and I thought I'd give it a try 50/50 Apple Cider Vinegar and water mix and one application and no more ear problems. Thank God cause I'd be in the vet and then prescription drops. But I akready have the treatment at home and cost be nothingPosted by Sean (Hawkeye, Iowa) on 06/24/2009
[YEA] Simply Amazing. Our Dauchshound had bad eye gunk to the point he could not open his eyes. We were constantly using a warm wet wash cloth to clean them 5 plus times a day. Yesterday he just looked so depressed and was so tired. Found some spots he must have been biting at so we were concerned. We were going to call the vet again to make an emergency appointment in the morning. 2 Different vets have just given him eye medication previously but it never seemed to work. I found this site yesterday looking for what has worked for others. I ran straight out to the convienence store, bought some ACV and came back to the house. I put a half mixture of ACV and water in a spray bottle. I bathed him, then after his bath I spayed the mixture on him. I dipped his Pupperoni Stick that he loves so much in a 1/3 miture ACV to water and tried to feed it to him as his treat after his bath. He refused to eat it. I then dipped my fingers in the sollution and opened his mouth and driped a few drops into his mouth. Also BTW I did not dry him off after the bath i let him air dry in the ACV mixture.
The Very next morning he has NO EYE GUNK! His coat looks great, he is not itching, or biting anywhere! He is running around as happy as can be! And NO vet! As someone said before, sometimes a vet can't get your issue taken care of as we had found. It is not that we dont care enough to take them to the vet, BECAUSE WE HAVE, its because the Vets solution does not always work. If it did I would have never found this website. After 2 summers of seeing my dog suffer from allergies, I can finally say we found a solution and he is right as rain!Replied by Kelsirish1974

09/02/2009Something a bit off topic, but that is so often overlooked, is diet. While I am a huge believer in ACV and its myriad of benefits, nutrition is extremely important for your dog's health, as well. Almost all Veterinarians know absolutely nothing about nutrition for your dog. Treats like pupperoni are like giving your kids McDonald's everyday. (I know it is so hard to not sneak them a snack they love now and then:) There are a lot of great foods emerging now, though. They are not very much more expensive and your dog will truly get proper nutrition. Dogs that are malnourished are always hungry, just like people! Dog foods are not regulated at all and many bad things go into the foods they market to our best friends. If dogs are nourished well they may not need a "cure" like ACV or a visit to the Vet! I found this all out the hard way....I had a dog with severe allergies. I changed his food to a great quality food. It is a great gift to give our dogs...GOOD HEALTH! Thank you for letting me ramble about this topic for a moment. It is very close to my heart!Replied by Mullaghcleevaun

06/12/2013Hi, ACV is the best... FORGET the Vet. I have been using ACV for 62years on my my dogs and the following is what I have been doing/giving to my present dogs which are...
Jindo 2years, Labrador 3years and a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon 18months.
Food, "Fromm" with one tablespoon of organic ACV (undiluted) and one tablespoon of Flaxseed oil twice a day.
One Tablespoon of ACV with every bowl of water.
Clean ears with 50/50 ACV once a week
Sponge bath the dogs with 50/50 ACV and let it sink into the skin (do not towel dry)
Start out with 1/2 a Teaspoon, Teaspoon and the Tablespoon... you will have a healthy dog for a long time.

07/06/2013Thanks for writing about your Dachshund. We've acquired a mini-wire and her eyes are doing the same thing. We're trying the vinegar and water. Hopefully it'll be good for her and make her more energetic. Is it still working for you, and are you on a raw food diet? We're going to try it.Posted by Georgina (Hobart, TAS Australia) on 06/21/2009
[YEA] Apple Cider Vinegar for dog's eye infection
I noticed my 2 yo Labrador had some gunk in the corner of one eye 2 days ago. It looked like the normal eye-boogies he gets so I ignored it until later that day when it was clear he had an eye infection, as I could see drak green/grey gunk inside the eye itself. It was a Saturday morning so I called the vet to make an appt for later that day. I really didn't want to fork out $130-odd bucks (by the time you factor in the weekend consult plus anti-biotic prescription and then the follow-up visit), so I started searching for home remedies. I've used this site before for some opinions on extra virgin coconut oil (which I now use solely as my beauty routine and for any cuts/abrasions/infections) as well as Apple Cider Vinegar (which I use for digestive balancing).
I saw all the posts about dabbing ACV on the back of a pet's neck and thought, well if this many people swear by it I'll give it a try. I tried this as well as a weak solution (just enough to colour the water) to flush my dog's eye. After I washed the eye out I applied EVCO on a cotton ball to soothe the skin and hopefully help with the infection. I did this several times over the course of the day and it seemed to improve so I cancelled my vet appt, thinking at worst I could take him on the Monday. I thought the EVCO was doing the job so I continued with this as I figured it was also more comfortable for my dog. His eye got worse again in the afternoon and was quite yucky by evening. By this time it was too late for a vet visit and I felt like a terrible "mum"!
I tried the ACV on the back of the neck again, and this time I used at least a quarter of a cup undiluted, as he has SUPER thick hair and I really had to work it in to reach the skin. Most of it rubbed off or stayed in the outer coat I think. Anyway, enough must have got in this time because he started really quickly improving, so I did one more dose before bed. This morning I very tentatively checked on him thinking it would either be much better or totally disgusting. Luckily, it was much better and today after a couple of the same treatments it's looking really good. Still some eye-boogie but the reddening inside lower eyelid has really improved. I still used some EVCO for soothing the eye area, he seemed to like that.
So he stinks like high heaven and the house smells like "rotten feet" as my boyfriend tells me, but he's just as impressed as I am and I can't believe this actually WORKED. I don't know HOW this could work but the main thing is it does so without risk of harm. As any lab owner would know, they traditionally have pretty sensitive skin, but this doesn't appear to bother him. It saved us a wad of cash and it cleared his infection quicker than anti-biotics would have. I think he knows it's working too because he willingly leans his neck toward me when I put it on now. Cute little fella! :-)Replied by Littlebit

02/25/2012I have a Boston Terrier who has dandruff and eye boogies with red eye close to the bottom lid. Vet says it's allergies. I just came across this website and would like to try the apple cider vinegar. What part of the neck do you apply the Apple Cider Vinegar to? What is EVCO? Thanks for the tips.

[YEA] Our Itallin Mastiff has allergies & constant ear infections. After trying antibiotics and drops for a month the yeast infections come back. Our Vet said to use 2 parts apple cider vinegar to equal parts water & 1 part 99% rubbing alcohol. (NOT 70% you get in the drug store) He said the 90-99% doesn't burn. Then to flush out his ears 2-3 times a week for the 1st week then cut back to 1 time per week. I went further to add healing herb extracts & have been rinsing him with the ACV mix for his allergies for a year now. I also make him all-natural soap. His coat has come back and we are down to 2 ear infections this last year instead of every month. I am going to have all-natural herbal dog soap, ear wash & more for sale next month. somethintohowlabout.comReplied by Blklabchow10yr

01/03/2012My lab has an itchy irritated back for a long time.. I've tried so many methods, and at this point inthe game, I have to wonder if some of the methods which most have said "works". I have to wonder if they didn't make it worse in some way.
I just got back from the store & have my bottle of apple cider vinegar & trying to convince myself to dab a bit on his back for the first time. I also picked up some greek plain yogurt, can't find any that doesn't have at least 8 grams of sugar in it, but otherwise it says it's natural & no flavoring. I let him lick a dab off my finger just to start small and see how he likes it & if it agrees with him, in a very small amount............ If this Vinegar helps relieve or even clear up his rashy back....... I will be FLOORED & will ... Do something to celebrate, because this has been HALF the stress in my life for a long time. It's heartbreaking literally to not be able to help him knowing it itches that bad. Vet did nothing but LOOK at it, talk a bit, ask questions & charge me 185.00 and gave me some pills which, after reading possible side effects, which the worst was Death, I was too scared to give him a pill , so............... vet trip was just about worthless.
WISH ME LUCK lol I pray the ACV at least HELPS, I hope.Replied by Anneinny

02/24/2012I'm SO grateful to have found this site as my lab often has sore ears! I'm going to try this today!
Someone mentioned YOGURT and that it almost always has sugar in it. It's very easy to make yogurt, the cost is about 1/2 the store price, it tastes BETTER and you can do it 1 hour before bed and awaken to fresh yogurt in the morning.
Set your oven to about 90 degrees C. Put 1/2 gallon whole milk in a steel or ceramic lined saucepan (not aluminum) and heat on the stovetop til it comes to the boil (or 82 degrees C if you have a candy thermometer). When the milk starts to boil, remove pan from the hot burner. Turn off the oven & keep oven door closed.
When milk has cooled to finger-warmth (or 40 degree C), add 1/2 cup PLAIN yogurt with ACTIVE CULTURES (easy to find at the grocer). Mix VERY well. Cover the pan with a tight lid, wrap in a large towel and place inside the warmish oven for about 8 hours. Go to bed. In the morning you'll awaken to homemade yogurt that tastes heavenly and has the texture of pudding. Put in covered containers in the frig. It makes about a liter.
If you want thicker, Greek-style yogurt, just strain it. Place a colander (strainer) lined with cheesecloth, multiple paper towels, a cotton kitchen towel or even a clean pillow case, above a bowl (I do this in the sink; it can be messy if you have poor aim). Spoon the yogurt into the lined collander so the excess liquid goes into the bowl beneath the strainer/collander. Optional: tie up the ends of the towel with a rubber band or string and suspend above the pan with a chopstick or kitchen spoon. After a few hours the yogurt will be adequately strained. Don't toss the liquid (whey)! You can put it in your dog's food (they love it) or even use when cooking your own food as a replacement for water or milk.
I give my dogs 1 soft egg and 1/2 cup yogurt every morning and it does seem to help their coats and digestive system.
Thanks for such a wonderful site! I so prefer natural solutions to chemicals and yes, our vet also charges about $130 just to walk in the door!! I appreciate the option to at least try something at home first!

[YEA] Mandy and I just moved into an area where pets are allowed, which in itself is a rarity. Fleas are an issue. Mandy is my only (baby) still at home and she's a 14 yr old schnauzer. She depends on me for everything as it should be. I depend on her for "lovin' and cuddlin'" and she's very good at it. Anyway, I've only recently discovered (lemon) flea killer, however, after using this half and half mixture leaves me to wonder. Did I do this right because this smell is almost unbareable it really smells like wet dirty dog, but not on Mandy only where she's been ie under coffee table, her bed' etc... Can anyone tell me how I messed this up because I don't see how??
Also, I have used the vinegar solution (one (1) part vinegar to two (2) part water) for a yeast build-up in Mandys ears and as of this day I'll swear by how well it works three (3) or four (4) days in a row then weekly treatment, amazing, and no vet bill nor chemicals which is a bonus for us as well as the world.

01/25/2011mandy - if you have carpets, sprinkle borax on them and brush in, don't vacuum too soon. But fleas are one of the areas where I don't rely on natural solutions. Dogs in our area need heartworm prevention and revolution resolves a myriad of problems, including fleas. One note: according to pfizer, it's 100% effective at 2 month intervals and almost 100% at 4 months (this is published in a government pda file, you can easily find the info). The people here who don't totally trust their vet's advice are correct to be suspicious and to do their own research. I dose every two months in warm weather and after the first hard freeze I do one last dose and then stop until 8 weeks after I start seeing any spring insects. We have six dogs, no fleas.Posted by Carolyn (Gallon Jug, Belize)
[YEA] I use a few drops of ACV solution (1 part ACV, 1 part water, 1 part rubbing alcohol) applied with an eyedropper in my dog's ears after a bath. It cleared up her dark ear discharge completely. We use it on ourselves as well since ear fungus is common in this humid part of the world.Posted by Anna (Ottowa, Canada)
[YEA] Our 13-month old female Black Lab-Rotty mix dog Maya has been suffering from recurrent eye and ear infections for the last 7 months. When we first took her to the vet 7 months ago, the diagnosis was ear mites. We treated her with Revolution - twice. The infection seemed to get better at first, but then returned quickly. I then treated her ears with Yellow Dock for a few months, it seemed to keep the infection under control, but had not cleared it. Last month, Maya got a very severe ear infection and we took her to emergency - the test showed NO MITES - YEAST infection! It meant that I have been treating her all this time for the wrong cause - thanks to the vet who did not perform any tests the first time around and simply "guessed" that Maya had ear mites. To cut the long story short, the emergency vet gave us some antibiotic cream, which helped at bit at first, but then we saw no improvement, especially around the eyes, so I found this website and decided to treat Maya with an organic ACV (half and half with water). I sponged her back (she had a few lesions there as well) and her ears twice a day, I let her shake and then wiped her ears dry. I sponged her eyes gently as well. Her eyes were circled by an elephant-like skin with no hair, and it seemed that like would never go away! Within 2 days we noticed a great improvement. I continued the treatment for a few days twice a day, and her conditioned improved 99%. I've read that it takes 3-6 weeks for it to clear up completely and that it is suffice to do it three times a week.
I measured her pH balance and noticed that it was too alkaline (around 8). This helps yeast to grow, so we started adding a bit of vinegar to her food to stabilie her ph balance. We've also implemented other dietary restrictions that are typical with yest
Overall, we've definitely found success with ACV, and I hope that other dog owners would be able to learn from us to help their furry kids.Replied by Winston1127

04/28/2009I have a 3 year old cocker spaniel. I just found this site a few days ago and love it. He is always having ear infections. I read the part about putting the ACV drops in his ears. my question is: do you have to dilute the ACV with equal parts of water or do you just put the drops in with out diluting them. any help would be a big help. he cuttently has an ear infection now and would like to try this to see if it will help. I have also tried putting the ACV in his food and water, but when I put it in his water he doesn't drink it and the same for his food, he doesn't eat it. I read where another person had the same problem and they just squirted it in their dogs mouth, but they did not say wheater they diluted it or did it straight. that is my question. When you put it in the mouth do you have to dilute it or not. please help.Replied by Joanna

10/27/2011This is to all the people who go see a vet. Maybe some of these people have and the vet hasn't helped the problem cause I have seen a vet multiple times about my dog and costs me hundreds and still hasn't helped at all.
My dog is a boxer and he has had a severe itching and chewing on himself raw, but the vets just say allergies give some predisone for a couple of weeks. Once med is gone he's back at it and sometimes worse tried everything under the sun with the vets nothing. Sometimes I don't think the vets know what they are doing especially if they can't seem to help fix the problem.
So I came across this apple cider vinegar idea from this site. Gave him a bath with it a few hours ago hasn't chewed or itched. Put a tsp. in his drinking water and hes been drinking it right up.
So think again before you say take advice from every tom, dick and harry cause it may just help. Doesn't hurt to try. A lot of vets don't really know what thay are talking about all they want is our money.Replied by Mollie

09/15/2012Ok, the real deal is stop giving DRUGS! Frontline-any topicals, no matter how natural, cook or go RAW! , no more vaccines, no heat worm, its all a lie~ I sonet over $35,000 on my 2 of 1 Papillon's, she has IBD, Vaccinoisous, allergies, digestive issues, I can keep going. I'ts under control, but now, Im tring Dr Plechner's protocol, but Homeopathically. NO DRUGS! My friend who 1 dog had such servere ear issues, blood, goo, mucus was coming out of his ear, for years, she did everything, she fed her dogs raw, and now, finally, after getting the Iga-Thyroid and hormone's checked, his protocol saved thousands. Vets dont want to know about it, they'll lose money-GO buy Pets at Risk on Amazon-read up-it will click. Becasue at his point, you are spending and wasting your money--Allopathic-conventional medicine is a silent killer.. I learned the hard way. And then I researched, for a solid 4 years, every waking moment was research, and Im getting my almost healthy Papillon healthy.. READ, RESEARCH!! ACV may be way too stong for your already compromised dogs stomach-dsigestive track... Please, research, for your babies sakes!!!Replied by Debbiefudge

03/19/2013If the problem with your dog is yeast. Then a change of diet is essential. Feed Raw. There is so much in even the so called 'best' dog food. That will feed the yeast. And for ear cleaning. Use white vinegar instead of ACV. Half white vinegar/half water. Try and use a dropper or a syringe and flood he ear. Keep hold of your dogs head and gently massage under the ear by the ear canal. And then let the dog shake it's head. Repeat daily untill the ear is better. Also use some cotton wool soaked in the same solution to gently wipe any muck away that you can see. The reason I use white vinegar instead of ACV is apples = sugar. Sugar feeds yeast. My vet almost killed my shihtzu pumping him full of steroids and antibiotics. After much reearch I discovered they 'feed' the yeast. Which is why he got worse and not better. I also give him a plain yogurt every couple of days. And half a clove of garlic every day for 3 weeks then have a week off. This also prevents any fleas. I will not put chemicals on my dogs. (I now have 3). They are all raw fed and very healthy!! If, antibiotics are needed for anyhing, I use colloidal silver. And, definately, NO booster vaccinations.

Do you know what the best feeling is? Well for me its relief, think about it. After some nerve-wrecking moments of your life ends and then... its just serenity. This day was a ending from that nerve-wrecking episode i´ve had now for about 3 months.
To get to the point, Im finally done with my first year of medical school!! I cant describe the feeling how lighter i feel, the burden is gone! Well, for now at least, i still need to endure 2nd year and 3rd, etc. I hope yall having a good day as me
Besides this, hmmm, I´ve started to watch fairy tail and its quite the typical shonen anime, but i cant help to like that kind of stuff. Also finally seen thru fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood also. Gotta say, it was great at the start, mid, and a little bit in the end. BUT, the climax was stupid imo.
I hope i can draw something more, since i havent done it now for a couple of months, also be more active with deviant art and perhaps my group that im admin in :/

Havent started university yet, but i still have retakes to do now during september, i actually start 1st october.
My will to do something productive is being hindered by the university, thats one reason i havent done anything art related.

Review Time!
Jul 4, 2014, 8:49:50 AM
Hello, I think its a good time to write a journal entry since i hope i have something interesting for you all to hear. I hope everyone have a wonderful summer
Yesterday i actually completed 2 things on my to do list that i really wanted to do. First off was finnishing a game called Planescape: torment, and the other was reading the 4th book of the metro 2033 series which is named if translated to english: Metro 2033 universe: Jounrey to the darkness. As you can guess, I attempt to do a review of both things, not trying to have not too long reviews for each of them. But i still think this will be a quite long journal entry nonetheless, So bear with me D: !
Lets start with the game, Planescape: Torment. I dont really know how to structure the whole thing but i think i will look at some aspects of it such as; Presentation, gameplay, story and miscellaneous (which will be gamefeel, bugs etc.)
Alrighty, here we go! Planescape: Torment is the first computer game to be set in the Planescape Universe which "I THINK", is a dungeons and dragons alternative form which is a setting of planes of existance. Like a place which links other worlds of dungeons and dragons to each other. Think of a gateway that allows you to travel to ANY dungeons and dragons world. You take the role of a character (preset one), his name is Nameless One because you dont know your name! Why you may ask, well supposedly you are a immortal being and have died several time in your life. The thing is, you suffer from amnesia everytime you die and dont remember anything that have happened to you. You dont even know where you are or what you are. You wake up in a mortuary where you also find your first companion! Its a skull, his name is Morte, he offers his help to aid you to escape the mortuary and perhaps find out what happened to you. Majority of the whole game takes place in a city called Sigil (you come across other areas too of course).
That would be the introduction to the game, lets talk about the -Presentation-
The game came out around 1999, so dont expect this to be graphics of todays standards! I've played alot of 90s game back in my days so i would know if it has good graphics and all, and surley it does. Good set of colours and surprisingly great details to things. If you have played Baldurs gate (Black Isle studios published that game) then you can compare it to the graphical quality since it is just 1 year older than Planescape: Torment. They have a very similar (almost identical) graphical style but planescape wins the quality of it. Now how everything is depicted for me, it is quite a interesting world. Quite tough to wrap around your head first hours you play it. everything is stylized in its own fashion, buildings, NPCs(none player characters) that walks around, the landscape that you see, and the tone is dark. You notice it immediately when playing. You can tell apart everything you see with no problem (had that problem with Baldurs Gate at some points). From a Dungeons and Dragons perspective, its also great. You can see a great variety of races that is being presented with their models and also monsters! Dont forget the monsters! that is the most interesting thing to see, how they look like
Now to Gameplay, sorry if this review is a snore fest, i dont expect it to be any good in any form. Perhaps gives you a spark of will on perhaps trying it out sometime ^^.
The game play exactly like Baldurs Gate but a bit quicker, its Real time with of a Roll of a D20 (a dice with 20 sides) that determines if you succeed to hit you opponent or succeed damaging them. A very good part of this gameplay is that all your characters can RUN. That is a HUGE improvement from Baldurs Gate, i almost ripped my hair out because of the slow movement of that game. You could ONLY walk in baldurs gate.
You had Stats on your characters that determined how good they were in combat or in intimidation/persuation skills outside combat also. Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, Intelligence, Constitution and Charisma. all of them had their effects and such, example: strength raised your combat expertise (easier to hit and damage) and intelligence/charisma let you have other conversation options to the NPCs which could lead to interesting topics and solutions that you can choose! Ah, of course the game also let you talk to the NPCs around the world that gives out side quests that can help and improve your main character. Some NPCs was very memorable, aint gonna spoil anything here though
! Now the game is not perfect, it had some serious flaws that i happened to stumble upon perhaps of my own ignorance, but the balance of the game seemed way off sometimes. This was my first play through, anyway my main character was more of a Fighter, alot of strenght, constitution, and also intelligence (because i like conversation options), i thought he would wreck enemies with a few hits and could withstand some damage. T'was yes and no on that point since i dealt great damage as expected but he couldnt even take 4-5 hits from the enemies! I was quite upset and almost never engaged in combat if it was not necessary, and i relied almost exclusivley on 2 characters in my party which made my main character feel like a Burden in combat. But with my main characters superior intelligence, t'was not all in vain, since he excelled in conversations and puzzle solving
. I even had more strength than intelligence with him, i dont know perhaps i did some mistakes on that part. Also some followers suffered from the same problem as my main character, they cant take alot of hits at all, you could have up 6 in the party (including you main character). Only 2 of them were actually working good in combat WAY better than anyone else.
Now the story. It was packed with lore everywhere, you had alot of options from start to finnish which showed that the game creators didnt slack on any part of the game where the story could be more interesting which it became. I dont really want to spoil anything of the story, the introduction, i hope it gave a good enough understanding of the world and why etc. The story is of course based on why you cant remember anything and why you are immortal. You journey from place to place and complete tasks that gives you some other clue to find out your immortality. BUT if you are going to play the game, then i hope you have a great memory since from the very start it could be important to remember some NPCs and their backstory so you could link them to the other problems you may stumble upon. Dont be like me and run around for hours to try find the correct person to talk with. Some parts were very misleading and others didnt really say much at all, like no clues whatsoever to continues the main story or some side quests. In my defense i didnt play this game in a span of a week, but more of a year
. Something i was very dissapointed with was the ending of the game, aint saying more than that. Most of the time when i play a RPG and i come to the end i feel either relaxed or something like a weight gone from my shoulders but not this time, i felt even more confused because they didnt explain certain elements of the game. I might have missed it, but i doubt it.
Lastly the Miscellaneous part of it. Lets start saying that i felt very immersed by the world i were in, perfect tone and then you come to the conclusion that the gamefeel, feels good the amount of detail, interaction and such gives you a good understanding on what is happening around you. I had some gripes about what i though was minor things: first of the pathing of the characters, sometimes when you click on a location where you should go, the characters run a very wierd path to get to that point. With other words, a bad path, for example if i want my main character to talk to a NPC, sometimes he runs straight to the guy when the path i quite clear. But when lets say on of my group member is a bit in fornt of my main character he just runs AROUND the whole room to get to the NPC i clicked on which is quite annoying when that happened even when the path is almost clear, jsut a little bit the the right or left would do the trick to avoid tackling one of my party member. Other gripes i had was from combat, 2 REALLY annoying things can happen, i dont know if its bug or anything but this is what can happened randomly: First if you have your whole group selected and you want everyone to attack a monter, then sometimes everyone just stand there without moving and watch the monster come to them when i actually want the to charge in and engage first! The other thing is the hit detection when you click with your pointer in combat, when you feel like you click on the dead center on the enemy and the command becomes a movement command instead to walk beside the enemy, hence the enemy can get 1 or 2 free hits on the character i command it too. So if you are playing, USE the pause function to make the good calls more precise when clicking so you dont have a devestation missclick where you thought that you clicked correctly.
And thats about it for the game, i would definitely rank this game top 3 on my best RPGs of all times, if you have any questions or want to discuss anything for this game i would gladly answer/discuss about it!
Ok champ! Just this review left, and i promise, it'll be much shorter than the last one!
Metro 2033 universe: Journey to the darkness, i believe this book doesnt exist in english at all nor does the third book in the series which is metro 2033 universe: journey to the light.
I read this book in swedish, i know it exist in Polish and other european languages. Like third book, It doesnt take place in the moscow metro this time but in the petersburg metro since the 3rd and 4th book is like a spinoff series for the original metro 2033/2034 books. I can also say they are not written by the same person at all, the 2 original was written by
Dmitrij Gluchovskij and 3rd/4th book was from Andrej Djakov.
Now this is quite different to do a review of this so lets just talk about the story (obviously), immersion feels and character development i guess :/, this review will be quite confusing for people that cant really have access to the books at all and are bound by this review, like the game review i hope i can give you some will to perhaps check out the other 2 books that you can have access to since they are translated to english!
Now for people that doesnt know about the metro universe, to explain it as short as possible. Its the year 2033 and 20 years ago the third world war started and ended very quickly at the same time since it was all out atom bomb war, some "lucky" people had the chance to escape to the metro before the bombs could strike the specific destination to wipe out everything, it turns out the metro was like a safe haven because it protected the people form the blast and the radiation afterwards so the metro became like a Home for the remaining humans in the what-was-left city. As any other country or big city the metro became segregated with groups of people that had different political views on how the metro should be controlled, so factions became very relevant and of course people went to the corresponding place where they thought would be better for them. Money as in paper money and metal coins had no value in the "new" world where the remaining humans lived so bullets became invaluable to one and other, they worked as currency since weapons is a must have to survive down there. No strict laws exist, alot of chaos still roam around in the metro, a very dark and depressing world. Some poeple cant coop with it so they became either crazy or thiefs/bandits to survive. After years pass some brave humans can resurface to the once-city, its a dangerous mission since you dont know what kind of wild life have evolved after the bombs. They loot as much resources as possible, those people are called stalkers, often renowned by the poeple since they often help others unbeknownst to them, some do it for the people, some for them self. Ok i hope that introduction helped you a bit to view how the world is.
The plot is that the main characters Taran(a 50 year old man, also stepfather to Gleb) and Gleb(12 years old boy) from the 3rd book returns in this story (and other characters that are from the sequel) are still in this book, they are still the main focus. So it starts with the metro people discovers there is a island near Finland where people could live without radiation killing them and had good recources to boot! But suddenly a atom bomb detonates at the island and only a few people from that place survives, they seek shelter at the metro. They even Threatens the metro population with
gas, to fill upp the whole metro with it so no one can live there, hence exterminate everyone. since they though that the metro people detonated the bomb. The metro form a council with all the factions to find out who did it, to find the solution to that they took Taran for the job to go to evey faction and look around to see in their stations if they are the suspects. After Taran took the quest to seek out the ones who did it, Gleb gets kidnapped! Taran gets that information later after he made it to one of the factions and back to his place where he lives. Later in the story they find a character that isnt like everyone else in the metro... So yeah, that the plot basically, its not bad. They have a objective and also have other things to worry about. Good time to also introduce other characters.
-Immersion feel-
This book do not potray the world the same as the original 2 books, it has the general idea but lacks those detail that says it all. Its hard to explain, think like how they describe the landscape but forgets to mention of it feel for the characters that are in that time in those enviroments... something like that. The 3rd book suffers from the same problem but did a slightly better job on. They really didnt explain much on how some stations felt like, they are usually described as dynamic with full of life, as there is always some sort of activity going on there. This book tried it but as said earlier just the general apsect of it which gives out more of a bleak and gray place they are in, sure the world is depressing but at least have some white and black to it! They usually also have some parts of the book where one character experiance some horrible abomination of some sort, and how they survive it. I guess this time it werent any of that since every book had it but this one. For me it would be awesome to read about some wierd NEW creature attacking someone.
-Character development-
Some feelings of characters wasnt really that convincing if you would make sense to their situation and the world they are in, they had alot more jokes than the other books usually have. Though the author did a good job on Gleb to present on what he had become later stages of the book, though the author did miss out on one of the new characters that was introduced quite early in the book with some character development. That character was annoying from start to finnish which i think didnt bring out anything necessary to the table. Cant say more about this part since the author didnt bother much with it
I guess i'll have a miscellaneous part here also:
The climax of the story was very
predictable, it was like reading a hollywood film but in text. Mostly its not that much action going on in these books, they tend to focus on the message and the characters what they learn etc. I feel like this book was the weakest in the franchise. But it doesnt mean it was enjoyable to read, though it wasnt much as everyone else :S
Anyway all and all, if i should recommend one book in the metro series, it should be the first one. It is the best one by far and also ease you in to the franchise. Also with this one as the game i reviewed i would gladly answer any questions if someone have or discuss perhaps the book i tried to present here
Ok, after all that, what else do i have... i have a sketch ready to be finnished. Its a drawing of Rarity
, i'll finnish her when i feel like it.
I feel fine now, im in sweden so everything is jolly and all, summer time yo! Oh and sorry for the horrible grammar, I have certainly made some errors after writing all of this, i might edit this journal entry if i detect something wrong. And again hope you have a great summer

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:00PM
Chime – which spans advertising, sports sponsorship, public relations and research – reported operating income of £71.1m, up 22% on the year, in the six-month period to the end of June. Revenue dropped 1.2% to £135.8m.
Bell said he was confident that Chime's success would continue. He said its strong performance had come "while the economies of the UK and developed world have suffered the credit crunch, the recession, the euro crisis and many other problems".
Across its divisions, advertising and marketing services, which includes creative agencies VCCP and Teamspirit, reported an operating income of £18.1m, up 17% on the year. However the unit's operating profit fell 14% to £1.7m.
The group attributed this fall to higher costs, including increased headcount and the expense of enhancing its digital offering.
Highlights in the period included VCCP's win of the O2 digital account, and the agency has since picked up work from Freesat and News International.
Chime's operating income was boosted by acquisitions in the period, including research firm Tree and management business Essentially Group.
Discounting its acquisitions, operating income was up 5%. Including acquisitions it was up 22% on the year.
The bulk of Chime's revenue emanate from Bell Pottinger, its public relations unit. Operating income at Bell Pottinger grew from £32.8m to £34.6m while operating profit rose from £6.7m to £7.9m in the period.
Chime said group companies had won 658 pitches in the first half of 2010, which represented £19.4m of new operating income. Wins highlighted by the group included News International, Nintendo, Freesat and Kurt Geiger.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewPart 1 of the "Officer Down" storyline. As James Gordon contemplates his many years on the police force, a sinister threat looms nearby. The unsuspecting Gordon leaves a bar and is shot in the back, with Catwoman watching After a violent attack, things in Gotham never will be the same again. SpoilersIt's James Gordon's birthday, and the major crimes unit takes him out for drinks to celebrate, though he promises to see his daughter Barbara afterwards (she's baked him a cake). They give him gifts, some more appropriate than others, and then he hands them each something too: a handcuff key. Partly because such things are always going missing and partly because they symbolise the authority of the police. He explains this to the cops as Batman goes about his normal business. The greatest power the police have is the power of arrest, the right to remove a person's liberty. Gordon says that he realised this for the first time when he arrested a man in front of the criminal's wife and children, who were in tears at the thought. Detective Allen remembers a lieutenant in Metropolis who always used to point out the other side of this particular coin: that every murder victim is also someone's father, mother, sibling or child. Gordon then has to leave, as he's late for meeting Barbara. Out in the alley, he meets Catwoman and tells her she's under arrest. But before he can do anything, some shots ring out. He fires instinctively, grazing Catwoman's thigh, but has been seriously injured himself, shot three times in the back by a lone gunperson. Officer Down continues in Robin #86

42 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 36-45 within 20 miles
Witty banter. Fun & exploration. Kindness & smiles. Deep thoughts. Sound good? Then get writing!!
So my life is a bit logistically complicated at the moment. I'm putting that out there up front for those of you for whom this might be a problem. (Want details? Just ask!) On the plus side, I'm a happy, strong woman with a good support network, so I am thriving & coping well despite the annoying (& temporary) complications that are currently presenting themselves. IF you're still reading.... I'm a mom of 3 beautiful little girls, & I'm currently a F/T grad student at DU as well. Life couldn't possibly get any busier right now, but at the same time, I'm committed to squeezing in some time for fun...IF I meet someone who seems worth that added effort. I'm most interested in developing a great friendship & having a bunch of fun together prior to diving into anything more. It seems strange to me that I need to write this, though, because isn't that how a strong relationship should develop anyway? People who know me well would describe me as cute, intelligent, witty, positive, open, thoughtful, resourceful, considerate, loving, fun, resilient & strong. This, of course, is why I hang out with these people...an occasional ego boost is always much-appreciated! :) My true passion is & always has been giving to others, & I am someone who appreciates the simpler things in life. Everything from a good glass of wine, to a long walk in the mountains, to a meaningful conversation, to laughter among friends, to the sight and sounds of a crackling campfire. At the same time, I won't deny that I also appreciate some of the finer things in life as well...like dinner at an upscale restaurant, the perfect little dress, or a pricey vacation. Overall, I'm a casual, laid-back person, & I'm not driven by material pursuits. My point though, I guess, is that I'm capable of appreciating all of it! I'm originally from NJ (although I never had the accent/hair/nails that characterize that typical Jersey Girl...thankfully!); I lived in CA for 5 years (where I left a sizable chunk of my heart...in Santa Cruz, my favorite town in the U.S. by far!); & I've been here in CO for the past 6.5 years. The mountains are definitely my favorite thing about CO, & I try to visit them as often as possible. I particularly love summers here, & I try to take advantage of opportunities to hike or camp whenever I can. I'm a big fan of natural beauty, healthy living, the outdoors & sunshine....so I'm grateful for this beautiful place as a result! Summer here also lends itself to lots of other things that I love, like: outdoor dining; sporting events; concerts in the park; farmers' markets; weekend trips; & more adventurous activities, like zip-lining & rock-climbing. And while I do love the mountains, I also love the city. Living in Denver is enriching, & I am always up for a night on the town, whether that involves trying a new restaurant; going to a concert; having drinks with friends; or catching a play. I love spending time with my kids & my friends, & it's important to me to be active in the community in some way, despite the time constraints that often limit us. I enjoy reading, listening to music, cooking with and for those I care about, entertaining in my home, having meaningful conversations, listening to others, snuggling under a cozy blanket in front of a movie, & debating controversial topics. I'm comfortable stating my opinion and standing up for my beliefs, but I'm also very open-minded & accepting. I seek the same in friends & partners. A sense of humor (sprinkled with a good measure of sarcasm, hopefully) is essential. I love to laugh, and I will make you laugh, too! Here's what I ultimately want: A guy who's not on the bell curve,...y'know, a smart & witty guy who is also mellow, fun, good with kids, & capable of intelligent communication & emotional intimacy. Who also likes to cuddle. If you exist (do you?!), please write to me!

I wouldn't consider myself a hoarder, except for when it comes to one thing: Egg cartons. For some reason, I cannot throw them away (or even in the recycling bin). I'm certain that I'll need them for something. And I do use them on occasion, but just not at the same rate in which my family consumes eggs.
When my stack of egg cartons started getting dangerously close to the ceiling from their perch on the counter, my husband insisted that I either do something with them, or dispose of them. So, in an effort to keep the peace in our household, and to clear up some much-needed space in the corner of my kitchen, I've come up with a re-use idea for each of the 25 cartons in my collection. If you've got a similar compulsion with egg cartons, I'm sure you'll find a few ways to make use of them!
- Use as a palette for paints (great for kids' artwork).
- Donate to a local elementary or preschool for collages or art projects.
- Pass along to a friend or neighbor who keeps chickens (maybe they'll return them to you, full of eggs!).
- Use as starters for seeds (the cardboard cartons can be planted right in the ground; clear plastic ones can be used with the lid as a mini-greenhouse.
- Sort and store tiny toy components, such as Barbie shoes or Lego pieces.
- Organize beads and findings for jewelry making.
- Make a Mancala game.
- Use as a mise en place tray for measured spices and other ingredients while cooking. Especially good when grilling outside!
- Use to line the bottom and tops of boxes for shipping or moving.
- Organize small bits of hardware like screws, bolts and nuts.
- Make fire starters for camping or grilling.
- Corral kids' hair accessories like rubber bands, barrettes and bobby pins in a dresser drawer or medicine cabinet.
- Inverted, use a couple of cardboard cartons as a makeshift trivet.
- Compost cardboard egg cartons.
- Do craft projects with the kids. There are entire websites and Pinterest boards devoted to egg carton crafts, so clearly I'm not the only one with a hoarding issue!
- Transport deviled eggs to a party.
- Use as an iPad or smartphone prop in the kitchen so you can watch a video or read a recipe.
- Use the tops as drawer dividers in a kitchen.
- Paint or decorate and fill with candy instead of an Easter basket.
- Transport mini cupcakes, petit fours or tarts.
- Make a sorting activity. Give a preschooler a bowl filled with dry beans, pasta shapes, coffee beans and other small dried foods and let them sort them into the compartments.
- Use plastic or foam egg cartons as extra ice cube trays for a party.
- Use plastic lids as a windowsill garden for sprouting microgreens, or use as a base to catch drips for small potted plants.
- Store kids' keepsakes for posterity. The sections are just the right size to store a lock of hair, the hospital bracelet, a first tooth and other tiny memorabilia.
- Just recycle them! Are you really going find the time to do all those crafts and organizing projects? If you're in doubt, recycle your stash… chances are you'll be able to rebuild it quickly if you get inspired.
What are some of your creative re-uses for the egg cartons that accumulate in your kitchen? Share them in the comments below!

Go, Dog. Go! (1961)
by P. D. Eastman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
One of my all time favs!
Go, Dog. Go Is a book by P.D. Eastman in the Beginner Books collection which stems from the Dr. Seuss series. I enjoyed this book very much because of its use of words and its use of motion. The book uses various sight words and prepositions throughout the story. This book is wonderful for introducing prepositions since it uses very simple sentences. Also, almost every page in this book has some sort of motion in the text as well as the pictures. On every page there is a dog moving in a transportation vehicle or jumping, running, and climbing. This sense of motion makes the book very exciting to read and introduces modes of transportation like boats, helicopters, and cars. The main idea of this book is to increase reader fluency since there is no story to this book.
kindergarten series to use with other Dr. Suess beginner books.
This book is about the development of a relationship. It is done through simple acts such as two dogs riding on a scooter, giving each other flowers, etc. However, each time they are rejected. It is a symbol for how real life relationships grow closer over time. The genre is rhyme and fantasy fiction.
Summary: Dogs of all combinations and colors are racing everywhere. The dogs are going up, down, going around in a circles, working, playing ball, diving in water, hitting tennis balls on top of a big balloon, and driving all over town in little race cars. The suspense builds as a troop of cars speeds toward an odd tree. At the top of the tree there is a big dog party.
Personal Reaction: I love this book! It is one of the only books that I can remember at a young age. The racing of different colored dogs caught my attention then and still does now. The party at the end brings the whole race to one get together in a huge tree. It's just a great book and it is an easy read for first time readers.
Classroom Extension: This is a classroom activity that is already listed on the book. For a classroom that I would like to teach this book would be great to help students to learn to read and to hear the rhymes of words.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0394800206, Hardcover)Life lessons? Romance? Literary instruction? Go, Dog. Go! offers all this and more, wrapped up in one simply worded, warmly hued package. Using single-syllable words in rhythmic repetition, and introducing colors and prepositions, this Seuss-styled classic has been an early favorite of children since 1961. For those looking for deeper meaning in a beginning reader book, here you'll find nothing less than a microcosm of life. Green dogs, yellow dogs, big dogs, little dogs. Dogs who prefer cars, dogs who favor skis. All represent the diversity a child will find in the world. And the slow-to-bud romance between the cheerfully oblivious yellow dog and the mincing pink poodle explains more succinctly than most self-help books what goes on in many grown-up relationships. Nonetheless, Eastman takes the concept of "primary" to heart, with his simple silly phrases and solidly colored illustrations. Not only will this book inspire peals of laughter in kids, it will also help them make the magical connection between those mysterious black squiggles on the page, and the words they hear and speak. (Ages 4 to 8)

Read the following message from Nevada Wing Commander, Col. Tim Hahn:
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Nevada Wing Website. Please feel free to browse around. Nevada is the 7th largest state in the nation, yet our population is only 45th. I'm sure most of that population is here for exactly that reason!
The Nevada Wing performs missions for Nevada and the nation everyday. We excel at the three mandated missions of Cadet Programs, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services. Our cadet program is growing so fast that it's difficult to keep track. Our cadet membership has increased almost 70% in four years.
The Nevada Wing supports our citizens with both membership and public service. We have a 90 minute response time to any call for emergencies, and we host the only fully self sustainable Incident Managament Assistance Team capable of flying anywhere in the 50 states with 4 hours notice.
During major troop deployments the Nevada Wing plays host to thousands of military personnel in transit providing areas for rest, relaxation, and food. This was fully demonstrated in 2012 when we assisted with over 30,000 Marines passing through Nevada.
The Nevada Wing is in integral part of the Aviation Nation Air Show at Nellis AFB each year. We perform low altitude surveys of restricted flight areas to keep our nation's pilots safe. We also perform other support missions for the United States Military as a true Auxiliary to the Air Force.
The Nevada Wing is now based at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

Commander, Nevada Wing
