Paron Fabrics in New York (stashbustin'!).
This pattern has cup size variations, and calls for 1 inch seam allowances on the sides so that the dress can be fit as you go. I originally cut a size 12 in the B cup version, my normal size, but even with the extra 3/8" allowance, I had to grade out to a 14 at the waist and hips. Too much sewing and not enough working out over the past months!
I've been taking a new approach to muslining: I make a "muslin" out of the garment's lining fabric, making sure I have extra in case I need to cut new pattern pieces. I baste together the seams I know I'll have to rip out to construct the garment (like the bodice side seams). It's been working out so well because - if the "muslin" fits - the lining is done and ready to be essentially dropped into the fashion fabric. I never liked constructing a piece and then having to construct it all over again in the boring lining fabric.
I had another fitting victory with this dress: there was major gappage at the top of the princess seam near the underarm. Increasing the seam allowance at the problem area didn't work because the 2 seams would no longer meet evenly at the fabric edge. I tried the alteration in Fit For Real People - which requires removing some of the seam allowance but also popping out the top of the piece so that the 2 seams align at the fabric edge - and it worked perfectly.
If you are a new sewer, I highly recommend getting this book. I did not buy the book for a long time, thinking that a book could never teach me how to alter patterns, and that I wouldn't be able to learn on my own, but I in fact have been able to achieve pattern alerations with this book. I'm rather amazed, frankly.
This pattern has been made by so many sewers for a reason: classic style, nice shape (neckline perfect - not too high, not too low), great for work or dress. I think this will become a TNT pattern for me. It won't supplant McCall 5753, The Perfect Shift Dress (now OOP), but perhaps this will be my Perfect Princess Seam Shift Dress.

The Door
Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.
Thank goodness for studies like this. It's not our age, it's that stupid door!

+ A co-worker's extended family: Lisa's 12-year-old nephew committed suicide (witnessed by his seven-year old brother) on the anniversary of his father's suicide. Their mother, Crystal, also very troubled, attempted suicide herself, recently. One of the three remaining sons has special needs and doesn't understand about his brother's death. Funeral the 18th. Lisa's father was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer. This family really needs your prayer support. Thank you.

This is a great office! My daughter doesn't normally see Dr. Monti himself, although she has on occasion. He is very knowledgeable... yet I do find him to be extremely rushed, and even intimidating to the point where I am scared to ask a question, because I often am made to feel dumb because of his response. However, the other 3 doctors in that office are amazing! They are Dr. O'Shea, Dr. Conway, and Dr. Starkowitz (sp?) Overall, I am happy to have my daughter go there, but I would prefer to not have to deal with Dr. Monti.

My children have been patients of Dr. Monti's since they were born and all three of my children (ages 7-16) have recieved the very best and most prompt care as his patients, however, his office staff tends to be very grumpy and at times very rude. Although we don't care for the attitudes in the office from time to time, it isn't nearly enough to stop us from bringing our children to Dr. Monti for what we believe is the best care that they could possibly be in.

Dr. Monti has been my doctor since I was a child. He is also the doctor for many others in my family. He is an Excellent doctor and an Excellent person. I live in Providence and I prefer to drive to Cumberland to see him. He will now be my son's doctor and I couldn't be more excited.

Dr. Monti was my pediatrician years ago so I was happy to have him accept my children as his patients. When my youngest was born, his office "forgot" to send Dr. Monti or associate to see my baby. After a year of unhappiness and being totally unable to get through on the phone, I left his practice. I found his staff to be unprofessional and, at times, very rude.

Blues @ Rangers
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. tonight
Rangers record: 7-5-1
Blues record: 8-1-2
Tonight the Rangers open their season-long four-game home
stand against the streaking St. Louis Blues, winners of six straight.
The Rangers are now 6-4-0 without Marian Gaborik, Chris
Drury and Vinny Prospal. Gaborik is
tentatively scheduled to return this week, meaning that no matter what happens
tonight, the Rangers have to be very pleased with the results of their efforts
in his absence. And that's a good thing,
because there's not a hotter team in sports than the Blues. The Blues aren't great at putting the puck in
the net, they're 20th in the league in goals scored, and they
haven't been strong on the power play, 24th in the league at 12.7
percent. But they're first in the league
in goals against and 14th on the penalty kill due to the best
acquisition of the offseason, goalie Jaroslav Halak. St. Louis got
Halak from Montreal
after the Canadiens elected to put the future of their franchise on the
shoulders of Carey Price instead of sticking with the goalie that took them to
the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Price is off to a strong start for Montreal,
7-5-1, .911 Sv%, 2.45 GAA, but his numbers aren't close to Halak who is 8-1-1,
.944 Sv%, and 1.46 GAA. The Blues failed
to make the playoffs last season after being the 6th seed in the
West two years ago, but seem to have found the missing ingredient in
Halak. St. Louis
is extremely young, much like Los Angeles and Phoenix (though maybe a
bit less talented), but have a hard working bunch. Matt D'Agostini, another ex-Canadien, and
David Perron lead the way for the Blues with five goals apiece, and T.J. Oshie
has one goal and nine assists. The Blues
are banged up on defense as both Roman Polak and Barret Jackman are out of the
lineup but the first overall pick of the 2006 draft, Erik Johnson, is on the
verge of stardom.
The story for the Rangers lately has been the play of
Brandon Ovechkin, err... Dubinsky, who is tied for the NHL lead with 10
goals. Dubinsky has been so hot lately
that the puck is finding him in front of the net, almost begging to be
deposited into the goal, and he's delivering. Though Henrik Lundqvist has two shutouts in his last four starts, Coach
John Tortorella has decided to stick Martin Biron in-between the pipes
tonight. Biron will make his second
start at Madison Square
Garden as a Ranger and will be looking
to forget his last start, a 6-4 loss to Atlanta
on October 27. Ryan Callahan will also
return to the lineup for the Rangers after getting a breather on Friday.
Understandably, Tortorella wanted to play Lundqvist against
the rival Flyers and Devils on Thursday and Friday, but going with Biron
tonight against a team playing as well as St.
Louis is a bit puzzling. It doesn't appear likely that the Rangers
will be able to muster more than a goal or two themselves tonight, so it will
take a very strong effort defensively to protect Biron and ensure that the
Blues don't cash in offensively. The
Rangers really need to get off to a strong start on this home stand, where
they've struggled in the last two years. It would be huge to get three wins on home ice to begin changing one of
the biggest issues facing this team. After tonight, Washington visits the
Garden on Tuesday followed by Buffalo on
Thursday and Edmonton
on Sunday.

The Herbig Family Tree is a large, hollow red gum tree at Springton. It is estimated to be 300 to 500 years old with a diameter of seven metres at its base and a height of 24 metres. A small stream runs nearby.The tree was the first Australian home of 27 year old Friedrich Herbig who arrived in South Australia in 1855. In 1858 he married 18 year old Caroline Rattey and took her to live in the tree home. The first two of their 16 children were born there. In 1860 he built a two roomed pine and pug hut nearby, and as his family increased, built a stone cottage adjacent to the hut.Today the Herbig Family Tree represents a graphic link to early European settlement of the area. Herbig family reunions are held at the tree, usually every five years, contact us for more information.

4. Nicky Delmonico, Baltimore Orioles (2B)
To my surprise, the Orioles organization did their best to turn Nicky Delmonico into an offensive-minded second baseman. By July, Delmonico was back where he belonged defensively. In game action. Delmonico presented above average bat speed and plate discipline, as well as an average hit tool and power. On defense, his hands were hard, but the Orioles wanting to challenge him defensively means they saw enough agility to push the envelope. The sum of the parts is unlikely to equal an impact talent, but Delmonico does possess a balanced set of skills not completely dissimilar to the leading man on this list.
15. Jason Esposito, Baltimore Orioles
Yes, Esposito was a former high round pick from Vanderbilt. Unfortunately for the Orioles, every concern about his bat entering the draft was proved accurate as the 22-year old posted an anemic .537 OPS in the South Atlantic League. To add insult to offense, Esposito didn't present as the plus defender I was expecting to see. His combination of tools and skills leaves him more of an organizational player than premium big league defender with a fringe bat he was reported to be.
8. Glynn Davis, Baltimore Orioles
For me, Glynn Davis had seven figure tools nearly as impressive as those of Mason Williams. However, his baseball skills were significantly less refined. Speed and athleticism are Davis' calling cards, and influence everything he does on a baseball field. With reps and experience the hope is Davis' baseball skills catch up to his tools and allow him to excel, instead of survive off of tools alone. If these rankings were based off of the ratio of signing bonus-to-tools, Davis and his $100,000 bonus would occupy the top spot.

Shayne's 74 earned him the individual medalist for the match which means he shot the best score of the day. Jordan's 78 was good enough for 3rd place overall for the day.

The Civil Air Patrol was established one week prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor and thousands of volunteer members answered America's call to National service and sacrifice by accepting and performing critical wartime missions. After the war Congress permanently established CAP as the auxiliary of the U. S. Air Force with three primary missions set forth: aerospace education, cadet programs and emergency services. Most people who are aware of CAP relate their function to that of searching for downed or missing aircraft.
Today, CAP handles 90 percent of inland search and rescue missions, with approximately 75 lives saved each year. Our members are generally the first on the scene transmitting satellite digital images of the damage within seconds around the world and providing disaster relief and emergency services following natural and man made disasters as well as humanitarian missions.
In addition, CAP members are dedicated to counter-drug reconnaissance and to teaching a new generation about aerospace and its impact on our future. Our cadet programs ensure our youth receive some of the finest leadership training the nation has to offer and it is often through CAP that a young person receives his or her first flight. The cadet program is organized around four main elements which include leadership, aerospace, fitness and character with eligibility ages 12 through 20. Former cadets can be found in leadership positions in the military, aerospace industry, public service and other professions.

- Reports
On May 5 during Spring Meetings in Indianapolis, I did one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do as national commander – I called for the resignations of Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, Under Secretary of Health Robert Petzel and Under Secretary of Benefits Allison Hickey. The American Legion hasn't called for the resignation of a public official in 30 years.
The call for their resignation comes from poor oversight and failed leadership. The American Legion wants answers and solutions to the pattern of scandals that has infected the entire VA system.
CNN reported late April that the Phoenix VA Medical Center had been keeping a secret waiting list that included veterans waiting more than 200 days for an appointment, which may have resulted in the deaths of 40 veterans. If true, these accusations are despicable. No one who served this country with honor should be left to die in such a way.
Then The American Legion was informed that clerks at the VA clinic in Fort Collins, Colo., were instructed last year on how to falsify appointment records so it appeared the small staff of doctors was seeing patients within the agency's goal of 14 days.
VA leadership has demonstrated its incompetence through preventable deaths of veterans, long wait times for medical care, a benefits claims backlog numbering in excess of 596,000, and the awarding of bonuses to senior executives who have overseen such operations. Those problems need addressed at the highest level – starting with new leadership. The American Legion does not see VA enacting the culture change that it so desperately needs with the current leadership in place. Senior VA leaders have isolated themselves from the media and, more importantly, from answering to their shareholders, America's veterans.
The American Legion is hopeful that our annoucement for the resignation of Shinseki, Petzel and Hickey will be acted upon for the betterment of Americas veterans. However, if changes in VA leadership are not made, we will continue to make our voice heard. The American Legion is committed to ensuring that each and every VA-eligible veteran receives high-quality health care in a timely fashion. And preventable deaths at facilities entrusted to provide that care will not be tolerated.
Thank you for your concern about the treatment of our fellow veterans by VA medical facilities. However, I believe you are wrong in calling for General Shinseki's resignation. I believe that his insistence on top flight support of veterans' issues has caused centers with problem management to keep double books. Their actions were clearly wrong and the Center Directors and responsible center personnel should be terminated at the affected medical centers. Support General Shinseki in his continuing efforts to provide the best possible support for us veterans. I find it offensive that you don't have an email address on this website. Why not?
Commander you don't speak for me and I hope not for the majority of Legion members. I find it hard to believe you actually claim to have management experience. If so you should recognize you are not qualified to carry the briefcase of Gen. Shinseki. He was lied to by subordinates 2 or 3 levels below him and at locations hundreds of miles from his office. He should be allowed the pleasure of determining who the liars are and then firing them, take back any falsified bonuses, and prosecute them in a court of law. He should then ask the IRS to investigate the flagrant violation of all Legion Post that operate as an open to the public bar and grill which should result in the entire Legion organization to lose their tax exempt status under your ignorant leadership. By the way where were the drunken bums at the Legion lobbying office in Washington, D.C. when Walter Reed was falling apart. Probably at the Market Inn. Dennis Schehl, USAF 58-62. Post 223 MD
I totally support out Brave National Legion Commander
he has something none of you who want Obama and Shinski to continue. and that is balls
The VA is out of control and has been for over 40 years ,
The employees can't be fired because of their Unions Meanwhile our Vets lay and in angony as they are sick dying and their families are ignored
Anyone that supports Shinski and any National supporters of his and Obama of Shinski and his National employees has got to be deaf and blind and never been to the VA,
Quit drinking your cheap beer and take care of our Brothers and Sisters because all of you that support the VA are nothing but a rear end on a bar stool who have done little or nothing for Vets and their families
Every VA needs to be torn to the ground and replaced with privatized with civilian Dr's and workers.
They are undersupervised, over paid and can be the rudest hospital worker in America and get away with it as they force us to delay , delay and die
How can any of you stand and watch the over 700,000 Vets wait for their claims to be received and worse yet how can you justify Vets having to watch for months and years to receive proper treatment.?
It is obvious none of you have ever needed serious treatment at the Va like for cancers etc,
It is a joke
If you go to the VA for this treatment you will die before you receive consistant and proper treatments and be assured the VA will use the cheapest and most out dated equipment to treat you, I am a 4 times AO cancer survicor , none of the treatment was at the VA why?
Well maybe because I didn't want to wait over 90 days to just see my first Dr.
God Bless You Commander
You are doing a great jog ignore these butt kissers of obama who are alllowing us to die and doing their best to prevent the truth from being told
I am a 23 year combat of the US Army. I believe in taking care of our own. However I do not like our Commander going on the new s and calling for the jobs of these people without polling the members of even letting us know that you are about to use us a political pawn.
Commander, I respectfully disagree with the American Legion's position on requesting VA Secretary (GEN) Shinseki's removal as a result of the disturbing news related to informal wait lists at isolated VA hospitals. I retired after 30 years in the Army and currently a VA client. General Shinseki is one of the top 3 most loyal to the Soldier, honest and compassionate officers I served with during my career. He is a multiple times, severely wounded Vietnam War veteran. He stood up for veterans, by establishing a goal to remove every homeless service members from the streets by 2015. He did this especially when neglecting them would have been more politically expedient. He is a true believer in taking the "harder right over the easier wrong". The Nashville VA, which I use is more user friendly, professional and thorough than any civilian or military hospital I have used other than those in a combat theater.
General Shinseki has always been a leader willing to stand on his beliefs. While Army Chief of Staff, General Shinseki and Army Secretary White showed courage, at the cost of their jobs from severe administrative pressure, to maintain their initial assessment of forces required to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. Although the current VA's isolated issues are deplorable, in my opinion Secretary (GEN) Shinseki is the one leader able to correct this issue. The press, congress, administration, and military organizations such as the American Legion need to support General Shinseki to help him clean up this mess. I expect the American Legion, which I am a member, to embrace VA secretary (GEN) Shinseki and support him as he resolves this issue.
Kent Crossley
Welcome Home Kent;
How much did you get paid to support Shinski?
Have you every had to go to the VA Colonel or do you get the Special Hospital?
we know you don't have to use the walk in VA like the rest of us,
We are losing a 1,000 Vets from Nam or more a day and they can't get treatment,
The VA needs to be torn down and privatized ]so we can get rid of thousands of VA employees who are impossible to fire because of their Union.
Wake Up , I would call you Sir but when you turn your back on our Troops as you just did you are deserving of no more than Hey Buddy
I respectfully disagree with your call for VA Secretary (GEN) Eric Shinseki's resignation. Your letter offers no evidence of wrong doing or neglect on the part of Secretary Shinseki, and includes no explanation to show he is any less dedicated or capable now than he has ever been in fulfilling his responsibilities.
Your letter fails to consider his 38 years of service in which he fought in combat and was wounded twice. Furthermore, it ignores a history of vision, effective leadership, and consistent sacrifice in caring for the health and well being of American service members. His understanding of what service members endure every day for our country, and his compassionate leadership style is exactly what qualified him for selection as VA Secretary. He is the kind of leader the VA needs.
One need only look to the Iraq war to see the considerable risk GEN Shinseki took on behalf of all American service members when he called for a much bigger force to secure post-war Iraq. He disregarded himself and stood on his principles at the cost of his own career, only to be proven right later. It appears like somewhat of a double standard to call on Secretary Shinseki's resignation now when the Legion did not call for the resignation of political leaders when an inadequate number of soldiers were deployed and later found to be poorly equipped and at risk.
I urge you to take a more constructive approach to this matter. Perhaps a more appropriate solution may be found in demanding he hold his senior staff accountable for their leadership failures while providing the American people with a plan and implementation timeline for resolving the issue. Further, while the Legion holds Secretary Shinseki accountable in this way, it should also call on Congress to provide him the resources needed to ensure Veterans always receive the quality of care they have earned and that the shameful quality of care received in Phoenix never happens again there or anywhere. Your letter suggests GEN Shinseki condones what has been uncovered, and I find that most distasteful of all.
I am completely confident GEN Shinseki will win the day once again, and I am proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
Jon-Paul deLange
As an 18 year Army veteran I have never before been ashamed of the Legion. Sad to say that ended today when I read the disgraceful statement of the Commander calling for the resignation of General Shinseki a twice wounded combat veteran and former Army Chief of Staff. I can only conclude the Legion hierachy are political hacks.
Despite it being easy to fault people down the line, the pervasiveness and severity of this mistreatment demands accountability at the top. Sorry general Shinseki but it is time to step aside and allow new leadership to address a problems that stains our Nation's commitment to Veterans.
I call upon National Commander Dellinger to resign his post effective immediately, for a failure of leadership and gross lack of judgement.
I think we voted you into office to make the hard decisions in an executive manner, like you have. I think alot of people are holding their feelings on their sleeves when it comes to Gen. Shenseki. For starters this is not war and he is no longer leading usinto battle. Those 4 stars are hanging in a shadow box some where and have been traded in for a suit and tie. He is no longer a Soldier he is a Statesman in charge of the second largest Department in our Nation that is in charge of caring for the Veterans who have served our nation. Veterans who trusted him to make a drastic change, and who died because he didnt. We have at least 40 confirmed dead Veterans, who probably served with these Vets who are telling you that you did the wrong thing. Would they be defending their beloved General if a unit of 40 or more Service Members died on the Battle Field because of lack of leadership or explanations as to why they are dead? This Administration has been broken since its inception and this is just another era of the VA killing Veterans. Its my opinion that the good General has had his chance in the last 5 years. I agree he has done alot of good things, but the fact of the matter is this: Veterans are dead because he was to silent and didn't get more involved until it was too late. His lack of ability to speak to the Media is ridiculous. When you hold the positions he has you need to be able to ease the minds of the Veterans who are still using the VA while these investigations are still on going. In closing Sir, I want to reiterate, I stand behind your decision because when Veterans died at the hand of another person because the Secretary didn't do his job, then I dont care what Rank or Award he might have been given (SS & MOH included) he needs to be released from duty and if enough people are dead, then its time to go to jail. Your call for Resignation has the entire Nation talking. Keep up the good work and keep us up to date.
Very Respectfully,

I, and most of the vets I know are greatly sickened by the Legion's disrespectful and dishonorable call for Shenseki's removal. You have set the worst possible example for anyone who has ever worn the uniform by not affording due process. No VA secretary has done more good in the VA system than Shenseki, period. I and many others will now find it difficult to support anything to do with the Legion unless Dillenger is immediately removed and an apology rendered. At best, Dillenger comes across as a Republican mouth piece, his views no longer support the majority of his constituents. Remove him at once so the Legion can recover and move on.
Rick Burrows
Comments by the American Legion Commander Dillenger are deplorable and the intent of such remarks examined. Dillenger sounds too political to be taken serious. Although, the situation at a few VA facilities cannot be tolerated. I believe General Shinseki is the right person to make those necessary changes.
Secretary (General) Shinseki has taken a seriously dysfunctional Veteran's Administration to a very smooth operating system as it is now. Of course there are exceptions. Secretary (General) Shinseki has worked wonders at the VA, and for Dillenger to "throw him under the bus" is absolutely disrespectful, unnecessary, and counter-productive. If anybody should resign it should be Dillenger. Secretary Shinseki is the right person for the job. Let's support him while he fixes the problem areas. I'm afraid to think what sort of politically appointed person we would get. I recommend that American Legion Commander Dillenger give up his position with the American Legion. This is not a position for political posturing.
I appreciate your concern and statement in regards to the treatment of our fellow veterans by VA medical community. However, I do believe retired General Shinseki's resignation should be considered and his Under Secretary of Veterans for Benefits resignation should also be reviewed. Too many veterans and their dependents are dying prior to receiving their entitled benefits as a result of the long waiting period to process claims and now we find dying due to the lack of timely medical care, yet managers/supervisors are receiving bonus. I was urged to write a book "The Disabled Veteran's Story" released last week in Amazon. which really speaks to the sacrifices of our veterans and their families, especially chapter sixteen-"The Mom's Struggles with a Traumatic Brain Injured Son; chapter one- "A Bataan Death March Survivor", Ringing a door bell to finally release a veteran's retro benefit and to be informed by the family the veteran had been waiting for over two years for their entitled benefits only to find out he/she had died days prior to my arrival is truly a travesty. This happens too often as a result of how long it takes to process a claim. I spoke with a 90-year-old WWII veteran last week who is still waiting on his rating decision for over two years, he claimed. His condition is worsening and his days are limited. So it is not only in the medical community veterans are dying. They are also dying prior to receiving their benefits as well.
Well Commander, you got your wish. You must feel pretty satisfied with yourself having brought down an decorated/wounded combat veteran. This will accomplish nothing to improve the VA. You have excercised a gross lack of judgement. Do me a favor and resign from your post immediately.

As opposition continues to mount against an Obama-backed scheme known as "Common Core" to standardize education across America, lawmakers and activists determined to stop the radical agenda are turning up the heat. In Congress, senators and representatives are taking action. State lawmakers are too. Among the grassroots, meanwhile, advocates for educational freedom are hosting gatherings in numerous states while planning another online "Twitter Rally" on May 2 to stop Common Core before it is rolled out nationwide.
Over 45 state governments have already agreed to adopt the extremely controversial program in exchange for taxpayer-funded "Race to the Top" bribes and "No Child Left Behind" waivers offered by the Obama administration. However, as awareness of the scheme grows, opposition is surging, too. Just last month the Republican National Committee (RNC) unanimously adopted a resolution slamming Common Core as "an inappropriate overreach to standardize and control the education of our children." GOP lawmakers at the state and federal level took notice as public pressure to stop the agenda balloons.
In the U.S. Senate, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has been leading the opposition so far. Shortly after the Republican Party adopted its pro-educational freedom resolution blasting Common Core, Grassley began circulating a letter among his colleagues calling for a prohibition on the Department of Education's controversial bribes to state governments that accept Common Core. If approved, the measure would also stop federal funding of the nominally private entities working to develop the widely criticized national standards.
The Grassley letter, dated April 26, was sent to the Senate Appropriations Committee's Education Subcommittee leadership. It was signed by eight other senators: Mike Lee (R-Utah), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas). In the document, the coalition of senators asked that an amendment be added to the next appropriations bill funding the Department Education to restore state decision-making and accountability on academic standards.
"The decision about what students should be taught and when it should be taught has enormous consequences for our children," the senators wrote. "Therefore, parents ought to have a straight line of accountability to those who are making the decisions. State legislatures, which are directly accountable to the citizens of their states, are the appropriate place for those decisions to be made, free from any pressure from the U.S. Department of Education."

10/19 Update: While Private Practice has now been canceled, it wasn't in the poll because it wasn't a rookie show. Proceed as usual!
While it was a distant second in our latest "Who'll be canceled next?" poll, Animal Practice was caught by the cancellation bear today and was the third show of the broadcast season to be canceled.
Which show will be next on the menu of the Cancellation Bear?
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
Because comment thread lawyers are everywhere, let's be clear that for the purposes of this poll "canceled" means removed from its initially scheduled timeslot, either off the air entirely or rescheduled to a burn off timeslot, even if the network *claims* the show will return later (two seasons ago those who answered The Whole Truth in the "next to be canceled" poll ended up being correct, it was removed first among the shows noted and never returned, despite initial ABC claims to the contrary).
What's your guess?
While this poll allows just one answer per person, feel free to expand your choices in the comments.
