Thank you for your site!� I had no idea of how something so easy to buy at the store could cause so much heartache and pain.
I was at Neighborhood Walmart trying to get ready for July 4th holiday.� I was planning to take my 7 y/o child and 3 dogs to the lake house for 5 days to spend time with my father and his 2 dogs on his new boat.� That didn't happen…
I periodically have bought flea stuff from PetsMart Banfield in the past.� They close at 7pm and they want to have seen all animals in question recently and run worm tests, etc.� I have spent several hundred dollars in the past year at the vet for unrelated incidences and thought I would just try getting something at the store – my reasons had to do with price, but�more with�convenience.� With the holiday weekend stress and trying to find time to get them to the vet and pickup medication before PetsMart closed was going to be very difficult.� I was also trying to STOP a flea infestation at home, plus didn't want them to pick up fleas or ticks from being at the cabin for 5 days.
I bought Hartz Ultra Guard Plus for dogs and Hartz Ultra Guard Pro for cats.� I spent 30 minutes at Walmart comparing�ingredients and finally deciding on these two products.
My pets include:
1. Male Black Lab Mix, 2 y/o, 60 lb�(from local rescue group)
2. Female Beagle/Shar Pei Mix, 13 y/o, 20 lb (saved from abandoned house in dead of winter 8 years ago)
3. Female Brindle Greyhound Mix, 10 y/o, 45 lb (from local rescue group)
4. Male Gray Tabby Cat, 7 y/o, 5 lb (rescued from vet after being locked in a crate for 3 years)
Because my child was staying with my parents� for the holiday since I had to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I put the stuff on all the animals Monday night (July 1st) so that there would be no chance of her getting it on her.
I gave all the dogs Butcher Bones to keep them busy while I went to work Tuesday.� Tuesday night, my 2 y/o Black Lab was acting odd, but I just disregarded it.� He was acting nervous and a little�wobbly .� I thought he was just being silly or stressing out because my child (who he protects to no end) had been gone for 2 days.
I fed them their normal wet food at 6 pm Tuesday night.� At 4AM,�the Black Lab vomited.� Luckily I was awake.� I immediately cleaned it up and noticed NONE of the canned food pieces had been broken down.� It looked like it had just come out of the can.� (SORRY for the description, but after 10 hours, food should have begun being digested).� Again, I didn't consider it being the Hartz medicine…I thought he had an obstruction from the Butcher Bones I had given them that morning.
I took him to the vet (Wednesday, July 3rd)�and told them the only thing it could possibly be was an obstruction and to go ahead and do surgery if need be.� By 5pm, I hadn't heard anything from my vet and stopped by on my way home.� They hadn't done any x-rays and wasn't keen on the obstruction idea.� I was suppose to be packing up the car and heading to the lake.� Why hadn't they concluded anything after 9 hours?� Thank goodness they didn't listen to me!� The vet was in another emergency surgery and the tech said,�he's lethargic, vomiting, and has explosive diarrhea.� She asked if I could come back� after the vet was finished in surgery.
My boyfriend says, "it sounds like Parvo."� WHAT? That's insane!� They had their vaccines in February!� I went home to rest until the vet called. Then it dawned on me…"the flea and tick medicine!!!"� That's when I found your site…THANK GOD!� I read 2 other stories and knew that's what it was.� As I called the vet to tell her, I found the Butcher Bone on the porch so I knew it couldn't be an obstruction.
The story isn't over…I decide to cancel my plans for the lake.� I didn't want 3 dogs to be in a car for an hour if they weren't feeling well.� I decided to take my Black Lab home Wednesday night.� I couldn't bear the thought of him being stuck at the vet office on the night of�July 4th with the fireworks going off…he'd been through enough.� The vet's office had already washed his back that morning because they saw a shiny strip down his back.� When I brought him home, I decided to bathe him again.� This 2 y/o�dog�normally digs his nails in and freaks out when its bath time, but not today.� I didn't want to cause him stress and led him to the bathroom.� He voluntarily got in the tub on his own! I guess he was telling me to wash this poison off of him. �My vet explained that I was lucky.� There are 2 kinds of reactions, digestive and neurological.� Looks like my lab only had the digestive and would be okay after a few days.� The neurological kind normally leads to death.
The morning of July 4th, I have to make an emergency�call to my vet.� My 20 lb Beagle/Shar Pei mix had thrown up bloody mucous 3 times in 10 minutes around 9AM.� Then I notice my 45 lb Greyhound mix is itching non-stop and giving herself whelps! Then I notice the Grey Tabby has lost all the hair on his back where I had put cat specific Hartz medicine and he is twitching every few seconds.� I am getting ready to have a meltdown!
I kept a close eye on them.� My beagle was getting the last of the poison out of her system.� The cat was twitching because the "feeling" from having missing hair along his spine.� They all got bland diets and lots of love for the next few days. (Greyhound�got�Benadryl to help with allergic reaction).
Over the past month, I have pulled several ticks off of the Black Lab.
One month later…THE FREAKING POISON DIDN'T EVEN KILL ANY FLEAS OR TICKS.� ALL MY ANIMALS ARE FLEA INFESTED AGAIN! IN FACT, LAB HAS EARMITES; GREYHOUND HAS A YEAST INFECTION IN HER EARS.
No time saved, money or convenience is worth watching your pets suffer.
I'll keep the fleas…Thank you!� Currently trying alternatives, like food grade Diatomaceous Earth, but its not working either.
However, I will never purchase another Hartz product again, including toys, treats, etc.
Great news investigation!� However, in 2009 they reported the EPA is investigating these harmful medications.� It is now 2013, and these poisons are still widely available in most major store chains!� http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Pet_Product_Investigation_Los_Angeles.html
"The products we investigated are flea and tick shampoos and drops sold by major companies like Sergeant�s, Bio Spot, and Hartz,��the article reads.��They all contain the same type of pesticide, called pyrethrins or the synthetic versions known as pyrethroids. These are the same pesticides in household products like �Raid,� used to kill bugs around your home.�

Tennis News Wire -
Budapest Grand Prix
Wednesday Summary
Singles - Second Round: (1) Roberta Vinci def. (WC) Maria Joao Koehler 6-2 6-0
That should do it: Roberta Vinci is back in the Top Twenty.
Singles - Second Round: (Q) Karin Knapp def. (2) Maria Kirilenko 1-6 6-1 7-5
Maria Kirilenko had already pulled out of the doubles with an injury, so this was somewhat expected. But it costs her her chance to rise above #18.
Singles - Second Round: Silvia Soler-Espinosa def. (3) Anabel Medina Garrigues 3-6 6-3 7-5
Unlike the preceding, this was not expected at all. This costs Anabel Medina Garrigues the chance to clinch a return to the Top Thirty, although it still looks fairly likely.
Singles - Second Round: (4) Petra Cetkovska def. (Q) Heather Watson 6-3 6-1
Heather Watson will remain below #100. She'll get a wildcard into Wimbledon if she needs it, but Roland Garros doesn't appear to be on the calendar.
Singles - Second Round: Galina Voskoboeva def. (5) Zheng Jie 6-4 6-1
Cross Zheng Jie out of the contest for the Top Thirty. But Galina Voskoboeva is up to around #42; another win would likely make her Top Forty.
Singles - Second Round: (6) Kaia Kanepi def. Vania King 6-3 6-4
Vania King loses a bunch of points and will fall to around #58.
Singles - Second Round: (7) Nadia Petrova def. Jarmila Gajdosova 7-6(7-2), retired (Left Ankle Injury)
Jarmila Gajdosova loses even more points than King; she appears bound out of the Top Sixty.
Singles - Second Round: Carla Suarez Navarro def. (9) Polona Hercog 6-4 3-0, retired (Right Foot Injury)
We had three retirements on this day, plus one other player who probably should have. What a day....
Doubles - Quarterfinal: (2) Mirza/Rodionova def. Lee-Waters/Moulton-Levy 6-0 6-4
Doubles - Quarterfinal: (3) Shvedova/Voskoboeva def. Bratchikova/Jurak 7-5 6-3
Doubles - Quarterfinal: Chuang/Zhang def. (4) Gajdosova/Hlavackova walkover (Gajdosova: Left Ankle Injury)

Princeton Economist: The Math Behind Romney's Tax Plan Adds Up
11:48 AM, Oct 4, 2012 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
At last night's presidential debate, Barack Obama said that Mitt Romney's tax plan--cutting rates by 20 percent across the board and maintaining revenue neutrality by eliminating loopholes--is mathematically impossible.
"If you are lowering the rates the way you describe, Governor, then it is not possible to come up with enough deductions and loopholes that only affect high-income individuals to avoid either raising the deficit or burdening the middle class," Obama said. "It's — it's math. It's arithmetic."
Obama was basing his claim on a study by the Tax Policy Center, a project of the center-left Brookings Institution and Urban Institute. But there are at least three critical flaws the the TPC study: (1) it assumes pro-growth tax reform can't actually produce economic growth, (2) it assumes two tax expenditures worth $45 billion per year are not 'on the table', and (3) it assumes tax reform must pay for repealing Obamacare's tax hikes, rather than assuming that the repeal of Obamacare's spending will pay for repealing the tax hikes. If one corrects these erroneous assumptions, the math checks out.
As Princeton economics professor Harvey Rosen writes, Romney's plan would neither require a net tax hike on the middle class nor a tax reduction for the rich under "plausible" growth assumptions.*
"[T]he TPC model assumes that regardless of the tax rate, people work the same amount, save the same amount, and invest the same amount," writes Rosen. But growth is the whole point of Romney's plan. "[A] proposal along the lines suggested by Governor Romney can both be revenue neutral and keep the net tax burden on high-income individuals about the same," Rosen writes. "That is, an increase in the tax burden on lower and middle income individuals is not required in order to make the overall plan revenue neutral."
*What counts as plausible? Rosen notes that that's in the eye of the beholder, but it wouldn't be zero, as the Tax Policy Center assumes.
Rosen finds that Romney's plan could work if tax reform causes the economy to grow 3 percentage points more over a given period of time than it would have grown without tax reform.
Do note that Rosen is not saying the annual GDP growth rate would be, say, 5 percent rather than 2 percent. He's saying it would be 2.29 percent, rather than 2 percent, over a 10 year period. Rosen does the math in an email to me:

Grommets: Perfect Cable Management for Any Decor or Environment
Filed under: Cable Ties, Clips and Grommets, Desk Cable Organizers
I don't know how familiar you are with grommets, so I thought I'd take some time today to highlight what is actually a very cool and useful (although oddly-named) category of products.
At some point or another, you've probably (at the very least) encountered grommets at work, whether they were built into a desktop or conference table, or installed in a countertop near a POS system. Most often, you'll see them as black plastic rings that are fitted into the cutouts that allow cables to run through work surfaces – the whole idea being that the grommets will buffer the cutouts' sharp edges so that cables aren't accidentally scratched up or cut.
But lest you get the wrong idea, let me be quick to add that grommets aren't limited to the standard-issue black plastic designs, or even to workplaces. You can find them in schools, theaters, entertainment complexes (think all those arcade games), and more than ever, in homes. And speaking of homes, the grommets just keep getting better to keep up with all of those HGTV-worthy upgrades we're always after, like granite countertops, home theater setups, and modern furniture. There are grommets available in many different designer metal finishes, wood, and even a rainbow of plastics, so no matter what type of surface you need to run cables through, you can rest assured that even utilitarian grommets won't drag down your decor.
In addition to different styles, materials and finishes, some grommets also multitask – that is to say, they do even more than just organize and protect cables. Some have built-in USB hubs, some have power outlets and data ports – I've even seen grommets that double as desk organizers and have compartments to hold pens and other small items. You never know what you might find.
Weekly Video Rewind: Outlets, Wire Trays and Cable Managers for Your Desk
Filed under: Desk Cable Organizers, Power and Data Distribution
I think I've mentioned this before in another blog post, but Fridays get me thinking about movies, to the point that I usually have to quickly scour through the latest reviews to see what looks good. Well, this week, a fun little twist has been added to my Friday movie review routine: now I'm not just reading them, I'm writing them!
We're putting a little more time and effort into our product demo videos these days, so I want to make sure that no one misses out. Today, we're going to start with the first trio of videos produced, directed, professionally-lit and edited by the amazing Fernando of CableOrganizer.com Web Design fame, which also star our multi-talented New Products guru Tiffani, who, in my humble opinion, is giving Beyonce a run for her money with that hair and makeup. But back to the product prowess: Tiffani is the person to listen to, because she has an incredibly thorough knowledge of all of the products that appear on our site – so rest assured, the lady knows what she's talking about.
On to the videos:
Powertap Grommet Desk Outlet: Tiffani demonstrates how the Powertap desk outlet installs into your worksurface and acts as a very convenient middleman between your desktop devices and wall outlet, thereby letting you experience the joy of plugging and unplugging without bending over, crawling under your desk, and possibly (inadvertently) mooning your coworkers. If you've ever wondered exactly how this type of product works, definitely check out the video – it's much easier to understand than just reading a product description.
Under-Desk Wire Tray: This is a pretty simple and straightforward product that I wouldn't have though needed an actual demonstration video, but now that I've seen it, I'm glad they made one. Tiffani shows a few tips and tricks for installing it correctly and customizing it to fit your individual desk size and cable management needs – total home run.
Cable Corral: If you're the kind of person who wants to cable-manage the space under your desk without spending hours juggling cable ties, wire loom, cord clips and a label printer, you'll appreciate the Cable Corral video. This product is the equivalent of throwing all of your loose clutter into the hall closet right before company arrives, except that the end result won't leave you with regrets and even more clean-up later on. Tiffani demonstrates how to make the most of the Cable Corral to accommodate not just cables, but a power strip as well.
Sumo Desktop Cable Manager: See Why Heavier is Better When it Comes to Cables Staying Put
Filed under: Desk Cable Organizers
Okay, before I start, a quick disclaimer: what I'm about to say isn't a fat joke, I'm just trying to illustrate a point. Now that I've put that out there, how many times have you seen a movie (or been in a real life situation) in which someone of robust physical stature, who is generally lacking in physical speed and agility, says in a humorously menacing way to a smaller person whom they're trying to prevent from leaving or doing something undesirable: "(Fill in the blank, blah blah blah)… or I could just sit on you." At which point the smaller person gets a comically horrified look on their face and promptly complies.
I'm not saying this is acceptable behavior, but it's definitely a means to an end (ie, keeping something lightweight and prone to running away or misbehaving) in one place with the strategic application of extra poundage. Like weighing down the edges of an outdoor tablecloth so it doesn't flap up and catapult your picnic spread onto the patio pavers. Or spreading out your flip-flops and other beachside effects to keep your towel on the sand, where in belongs, and where you'll need it to be when you get fed up with rogue seaweed brushing your leg like a giant squid tentacle and decide to trudge back to shore.
Or like when you have a sumo wrestler plunk down on your disconnected computer cables so they stay ready for action at the edge of your desk, instead of tumbling over the side and onto the floor. Okay, maybe that one's a little far-fetched, but that's basically what BlueLounge® had in mind when they came up with the Sumo™ Desktop Cable Manager.
The Sumo is basically a sleek, weighted block with two cord channels carved out of its underside, and it's designed to hold disconnected cables against a tabletop while still allowing them a little wiggle/breathing room. The cord channels are wide enough to let the cables move freely back and forth, but are narrow enough to prevent connectors from slipping through and causing their respective cables to fall to the floor. After all, it's infinitely better to be able to just reach out and plug in instead of crawling around on the ground, looking for the right cable.
The Sumo Cable Manager has super cool gripping abilities, thanks to the micro-suction pads lining its underside. As you might guess from its name, micro-suction technology involves the equivalent of thousands of tiny (and indistinguishable to the eye) suction cups, which have the ability to grab onto, but easily release from, smooth surfaces, much like Spider Man (awesome). That means it stays in place without hardware or sticky double-sided adhesive, so you don't have to worry about taking a bottle of Goo-Gone® to your work surface if you ever decide to move the Sumo to another location.
Under-Desk Wire Tray: Hidden Organization for Computer Cables and Power Strips
Filed under: Desk Cable Organizers
Over the years, we've added quite a few under-desk wire organizers, and they've all been great in one way or another, whether they've been designed to keep cables neat as they travel between your desktop and floor, or handle all of the cable slack that's known to entangle your feet as you sit at your computer. They've looked like boxes, raceways, baskets, even spines (that one's actually not as weird or gross as it sounds). And now I have another excellent addition to the lineup, which happens to hinge, quite simply, on the power of the hook.
I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure that the Under-Desk Wire Tray was designed around the the concept of cable hooks, which have long been used to support certain types of aerial and wall mounted cable runs. Cable hooks are generally lined up at short intervals, after which small cable bundles can be run through them, with the hooks conveying and providing support for the cables as they travel from Point A to Point B.
The Under-Desk Wire Tray, being made up of a row of 15 slightly-spaced hooks, is more or less set up to work the same way, but just on a smaller scale. That, and it hides under your desktop as opposed to being suspended from the ceiling or mounted on a wall. I don't know about you, but this really appeals to me, because I prefer my cable management to be invisible, if at all possible.
So why would someone go and miniaturize cable hooks and stick them under a desk? Probably because that row of little hooks gives you the freedom to add or remove cables at any point along the way, and works as a nice place to stash power strips and bulky power adapters out of range of your feet (this sounds really good to me, because I'm always accidentally kicking my surge protector). Another benefit of having cables and power strips up off the floor is that they're less likely to become dust bunny traps when they're kept elevated, so that makes it a lot easier for you to keep your workstation clean, and gives you a lot less to sneeze about. And that, my friends, is nothing to sneeze at.
Two-Piece Desk Grommets: Endless Options for Cable Routing and Other Creative Workspace Modifications
Filed under: Cable Ties, Clips and Grommets, Desk Cable Organizers
Chances are, a few of you are asking yourselves, "She's talking about grommets again? Really?" To all of you exasperated naysayers, I say, "Give me a chance." I don't blog just to hear the sound of my own voice, and I don't like wasting peoples' time with things they've already heard about. I'm enthusiastic about grommets – we've covered that. But the entire reason for this post is that my eyes were just opened to a new and exciting way to use desk grommets.
Well, not just any desk grommets… to be more specific, the new round two-piece grommets that we just started carrying. They're simple, but extremely cool, because they come in (as you've gathered) two separate parts: the sleeve, which is the section that lines the actual hole cutout in your desk or countertop, and the snap-on top, which narrows the opening so that it fits snugly around the wire and cables traveling through it. Up to this point, most grommets have been a one-piece hybrid of the two parts, but someone had the outstanding idea to go deconstructionist on these, and I really think it works.
Why? Because you can use both components together, or take the more-laid back approach and just stick with the sleeve. The complete solution is perfect for routing cables (as usual), but what really intrigues me is the sleeve-only option, and the suggestion that, when you're dealing with the large-diameter 4″ grommet, the sleeve can actually be fashioned into a sort of through-desk trash chute.
Ever noticed how in some restaurant bathrooms, there's a cutout in the sink vanity, into which you toss your used paper towels? Well, now you can do the same thing to your desk! Just use a hole saw to cut out an opening, snap in a grommet sleeve for a finishing touch, line your wastepaper basket up below the hole, and start dropping your small paper trash right through your desktop. Bombs away!
The Cable Corral: Forget About Cattle – What Really Need Wrangling Are Your Computer Cables
Filed under: Cable and Wire Storage, Desk Cable Organizers, Desks and Workstations
Ah, under-desk cable managers. I've always like them in concept, but it seems like they've missed the mark (just a little) in one way or another every time I've tried to put them into action. There was one where I just couldn't get the finished product to look anywhere near as neat and attractive under my desk as it did in the picture on the box, and there was another one that looked terrific once installed, but had a very easy to move lid that couldn't stand up to my accidental kicks and knee-bumps. Since then, I've pretty much relegated myself to tried-and-true wire loom, cable ties and adhesive cord clips. But I just met a new under-desk organizer, and I think that I may finally be ready to cable manage again.
The new cord tamer in my life is named the Cable Corral, and I love it for its simplicity. It's basically just a steel basket that mounts to the underside of your desktop, giving you a place to stash power strips, peripherals and long cables out of sight – without affecting your connectivity. This is great for antsy desk-dwellers like me, who need to frequently stretch their legs below-desk throughout the day to avoid both muscle atrophy and general insanity. It's always nice to be able to do this without getting a foot caught in a pile of cable slack, or accidentally kicking a power supply.
And installation is so easy – the Cable Corral screws right into the underside of your desk, and then you just pile in everything you want to keep clear of the floor and out of sight. No need to precisely bundle or wind cords, no cover malfunctions – just stash your stuff, and let your feet enjoy the newfound wide open roaming space where there was none before.
Crossbar Mounting System: There Should Always Be Room for You at Your Desk
Filed under: Desk Cable Organizers, Desks and Workstations
Ever think about how much junk it takes to be "efficient?" Let's see… you've got multiple computer monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, a phone, a cell phone, designated "in" and "out" boxes (maybe more if you're super "organized"), office supplies, peripherals, and of course, a nice big bucket of coffee to give you enough energy to try and work around all of that space-eating stuff. Call me old-fashioned, but as soon a you can't rest your elbows on your desk because there are too many business tools in your way, there's a problem.
Whatever happened to the days when you could prop a book on your desktop if you needed to, or maybe a stack of papers that needed perusing? When you could find a clear spot on your worksurface where you could set down and actually sign an expense report, without your pen running off the edge? They may feel long gone, but you're about to get them back, compliments of the Crossbar Mounting System.The Crossbar is an extremely cool workspace accessory that mounts right onto the back of your desk, and gives you a strong, elevated horizontal bar on which to mount everything that's been cramping your work style. Flat-panel computer monitors, small peripherals, even mail trays and organizers – they can all be made to hover gracefully above your work surface, instead of hogging it and making things cluttered.
The Crossbar Mounting System is made of sleek, shiny aluminum and steel, so it's a great modern-looking complement to flat panel monitors and other office tech. Once it's installed and everything is attached, all of your work accessories are located at eye level, right in front of you, so you can see everything at a glance, and still have plenty of free desktop space to actually make yourself comfortable and get things done.
Keep-a-Cable Cord Anchor
Filed under: Cable Identification, Desk Cable Organizers
Four short years ago, I had no idea what "cable management" was, or the types of products it entailed. But ever since I got into this business, I've turned into a complete organization geek who actually gets excited whenever the newest, shiniest wire organizer comes my way. It's pretty amazing that people are still coming up with new ways to tame messy cords, because it's seemingly all been done. I've used cord organizers that looked like a turtle's shell, a yoyo, a spine (believe it or not), and cartoony zoo animals. And those are just the tip of the iceberg.
Why all of the weird and whimsical designs? Because cable management is boring. Boring but necessary. Yet the necessity of it all becomes a little less mundane if you can use products that add fun and novelty to practicality. Heck, that's what keeps my attention. Keep thinking of ways to make cable management interesting, and you'll keep me on the line.
But what if you're a regular non-geek who doesn't need to be amused by their wire management devices? What if you just want something that will keep your computer cables in line, and prevent them from falling behind your desk when you unplug them? In that case, I'd fast-forward right past the cord winders and wire-hiders, and bring you to a screeching halt right in front of the Keep-a-Cable. This cord anchoring system is cheap, simple, and pretty much as no-frills as they come, but you know what? It works.
Here's how: The Keep-a-Cable is basically a flat, flexible piece of plastic that has peel and stick adhesive on one side, and cable slots on the other. You just peel off the backing, adhere the Keep-a-Cable to the back of your desk (behind your computer), and then pop your cables into the slots (you can see a live-action video demonstration of this here). These slots are wide enough so that the cables can move freely, but narrow enough so that connectors can't slip through and fall to the floor. When you need to plug a peripheral into your computer, you can just reach to the back of your desk and grab the corresponding cable, instead of crawling around on the floor to find it. Then, when you're done, you just unplug and leave the cord resting in the Keep-a-Cable, ready to go for next time.

Family Cookbook
summaryHave children publish a family cookbook.
- The RIF Guide to Encouraging Young Readers.
- Cooking, Seasonal Activities
- 9-12
- teen
- Multiple
- Indoor
- Play
MATERIALS: File cards, file box, pens, paper, black pen, stapler
First have children solicit their favorite family recipes. Then, the children file the cards by menu categories: appetizers, soups, main dishes, side dishes, desserts, snacks, and so on. After organizing the recipes, they will need to check spellings on the ingredients lists, clarify any confusing directions, and credit the contributors. There are many ways to assemble the recipes into a book: A parent can volunteer to type up the collection. If you have access to a photocopier, make enough copies so that your children can collate and staple a booklet for each person who contributed a recipe. Do you have a computer? Your children can use a word processing program to organize and edit the recipes, then print out copies for everyone in their family. The child with the best handwriting can copy the recipes neatly on sheets of notebook paper. Insert the pages in a binder behind subject dividers labeled with the different menu categories. The recipes can be copied into a spiral-bound deck of index cards. Children can design a paper cover to paste over the original cover. Suggest that they number or alphabetize the recipes and include a contents card listing the names and corresponding numbers. Perhaps next year your children can fry the latkes for the familys annual Hanukkah party or bake the hot cross buns for Easter brunch!

Active Questions
|Sex & Intimacy / 5:21 PM - Friday August 20, 2010
I love my girlfriend but I am not sexually attracted to her.
My girlfriend and I have lived together for half a year. We've known each other for over 10 years. She is perfect for me emotionally. She doesnt know I have sexual issues with her. She does not physically turn me on and I cant hide it much longer. We can talk for hours and we do EVERYTHING together. Every aspect of our relationship is great except for our sex life. I've tried many things but I end up losing my "frisky-ness?" in the middle of sex. I say this at the risk of sounding shallow. She is the opposite, physically, of what I want in a girl. I am still in love with her. I cant lose her just because of something so little. If there is anything I can do to fix it I want to. Ill just push my through it if i have to but if there is a alternative id like to know it.
- Asked by Male, 26-28
You can't be in love with her...... because if you were in love with her you would be in love with everything about her - including her physical features. You would find her incredibly attractive....
- Response by An Alternative Girl, Female, 29-35, New York
Community Rating: Community Star
Get her a wig? Implants? Skin lightener? Costumes?
- Response by siouxzen, A Career Woman, Female, Who Cares?, Los Angeles, Self-Employed
Oh yeah..... I didn't finish my thought....
- Response by An Alternative Girl, Female, 29-35, New York
Are you experiencing a lack of desire for the one YOU love?
- Response by fehkarfight, A Couch Potato, Male, 56-65, Who Cares?
In the middle of sex?
- Response by llafsroh, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Boston, Science / Engineering
You are the problem, not she,
- Response by duggers, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older
First off, no matter how hard it is, you have to be honest with her. Sex is huge in a relationship and it's not worth really screwing things up by cheating on her. Sounds to me as if you're better off friends than lovers.
- Response by busyb704, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Other Profession
get some balls and talk to her about this situation.
- Response by amandasboy, A Father Figure, Male, 66 or older, Atlanta, Retired

In a recent letter Robert Craven let the readers know how generous he is. His basic point is that paying a parcel tax will "…increase the value of our homes…" He seems to think that our government schools increase the value of our homes in La Cañada Flintridge. This is the same story I have heard from the day I arrived here in 1978 — that LCF has good government schools. LCF does have above average government schools, but that is not the reason LCF is so great. It is great in spite of the government schools that are no longer our schools.
It is because of location (as your local real estate agent will tell you). It is because of the private schools; the likes of Saint Francis, Flintridge Prep, and Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, and others, which are better than our government schoolsthat have been taken over by Democrats and their union buddies in Sacramento. The private schools have higher standards.
I took a look at my property tax bill and I pay just under 9% of my taxes for the schools which are the highest single item on the bill. I say enough is enough. Vote "no" on the parcel tax.

SIXMILE CREEK (Milam County). Sixmile Creek rises six miles south of Gause in eastern Milam County (at 30°43' N, 96°44' W) and runs east for eight miles to its mouth on the Brazos River, a mile north of the Milam-Burleson county line (at 30°44' N, 96°38' W). The creek was named for its distance from old Nashville, the early capital of Robertson's Colony. The surrounding rolling to flat terrain has local shallow depressions; clay and sandy loams support mesquite and grasses the upper and middle reaches of the creek and water-tolerant hardwoods and conifers in the lower reaches.

At 93, Mount St. Joe changes its name
DELHI TOWNSHIP -- College of Mount St. Joseph is changing its name to Mount St. Joseph University in a bid to bolster its reputation as it expands its graduate and doctoral programs as well as its online offerings.
The change will be effective in July 2014, with a marketing campaign complete with a new logo rolling before and during the 2014-15 academic year.
"The cornerstone upon which the Mount has been built will remain the same," said Ken Stecher, chair of the board of trustees. "As it has for the past 93 years, the Mount will remain a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Charity and with that, will continue its mission of providing a high quality liberal arts education with professional programs distinguished by personal attention, small classes and a close community.
The move coincides with the Mount's Vision 2020 initiative, which is designed to ensure the university is recognized as a top value in a crowded college marketplace. The plan strives for excellent, relevant academics, an engaging student experience and students recognized as career ready.
The board decided that the occasion called for a named change as a symbol of the institution's evolution.
"Vision2020 gives us a focus and measurable goals," Mount St. Joseph President Tony Aretz said. "The goals are significant milestones in our efforts to become more competitive as we look to enhance students' opportunities to learn and grow by adding and expanding academic programs, attracting top faculty and reaching out to serve a more diverse student population."
Joan Cook, president of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, offered prayers for the success of the new venture.
"While continuing the tradition of excellence in education," she said. "In the name of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, I congratulate the Mount as it becomes Mount St. Joseph University."
Mount St. Joseph instituted this fall its revised core curriculum with a focus on serving the Common Good.
"This innovative theme-based curriculum offers a variety of service, work and experiential learning opportunities including the launch of the Talent Opportunity Program (TOP), the first-of-its-kind enhanced career services plan," officials said in a release.

I was in the process of writing up a post on all of the keyboard shortcuts I have found in playing with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview yet I had this nagging feeling that the list must exist somewhere. A quick hop over to the Windows Experience Blog confirmed that.
In a post by Kent Walter that covered much more ground than just the keyboard shortcuts, he provided a link to download a PDF or XPS document that details everything. It's well worth a look if you're running the Consumer Preview. My personal favorite is + X for power user commands.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Two of The Florida State University's most accomplished scientists recently joined forces on a collaborative research project that has yielded groundbreaking results involving an unusual family of crystalline minerals. Their findings could lay the groundwork for future researchers seeking to develop a new generation of computer chips and other information-storage devices that can hold vast amounts of data and be strongly encrypted for security purposes.
Working with a team of researchers from various disciplines, Naresh S. Dalal and Sir Harold W. "Harry" Kroto, both world-renowned chemists and educators, took a close look at a family of crystals known as metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs. Employing both laboratory experimentation and computational analysis, they found that four such crystals possessed properties that rarely coexist.
"We identified these four crystals as 'multiferroic,' meaning that they are simultaneously ferromagnetic and ferroelectric in nature when cooled to a specific temperature," said Dalal, Florida State's Dirac Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. (Ferromagnetism means a material possesses magnetic poles, while ferroelectricity refers to a material that possesses positive and negative electrical charges that can be reversed when an external electrical field is applied.)
"Normally, these two properties are mutually exclusive," Dalal said. "Most materials are either ferromagnetic or ferroelectric based on the number of electrons in the ion's outer electron shell. Therefore, finding four multiferroic materials at one time is quite scientifically significant and opens numerous doors in terms of potential applications."
Multiferroic materials have been a hot topic of research in recent years, with researchers finding applications in the areas of hydrogen storage and the design of advanced optical elements, among others. Kroto sees another potential use: in the creation of high-pow

Topographically trapped barotropic modes play a role in the adjustment of the ocean to variability in forcing (by the wind, mesoscale eddies, etc.), and are particularly important in the Southern Ocean; here the stratification is weak and bathymetry is pronounced, so the circulation is strongly steered by bathymetry. I use an eigenvalue solver to determine normal modes in a barotropic Shallow-Water model.
In Weijer (2008) I studied the normal modes of the
In Weijer et al. (2009) we studied the decay of topographically-trapped modes in the Australian-Antarctic Basin. We found the reason for the apparent discrepancy between the decay rate as observed from altimeters, and what can be expected based on frictional spin-down. We concluded that an arbitrary flow field has only a small projection on the mode; this component decays on the slow, frictional time scale. The remaining, unbalanced component, however, decays much faster (on the order of 3-4 days) as it disperses through Rossby waves. It is this rapid decay that dominates the SSH expression in altimeter data.
In Weijer (2010) I showed that most of the variability in the Australian-Antarctic Basin reflects stochastic excitation of an almost-free barotropic mode (Hughes et al. 1999); energy is trapped by contours of potential vorticity that are almost completely closed around the AAB. A bottleneck at the apex of the Wilkes Abyssal Plain appears to be crucial for the decay of the mode, as here energy is extracted from the mode and transferred to non-modal circulation (like waves).
In Weijer (2013) I followed up on this line of research by applying it to the Bellingshausen Basin. Observations (Boening et al. 2011) show an anomalously persistent circulation during the last quarter of 2009. Our analysis shows that this circulation reflects excitation of a topographically trapped barotropic mode. Interestingly, a similar event during the 3rd quarter of 2008 was more prominent from an energetics point of view, although its amplitude and persistence were weaker.

In small open-topped tanks, each block was fermented separately, using primarily native yeasts. Other lots were fermented with yeasts unique to each individual lot. Hand punch-downs extracted and elevated the Pinot Noir flavors and the wine was aged sur lie in French oak barrels for 11 months.
Displaying the classic qualities of the Santa Lucia Highlands, this silky Pinot Noir has pretty floral and citrus aromas. Warm Asian spices accompany bright, lasting flavors of citrus, rose petal and cherry.
About the Vineyard
Winegrower James MacPhail describes this setting as "nothing short of spectacular." The Sarmento Vineyard sits on benchlands of ancient, tilted alluvial soils topped with rock-studded sandy loam. Grapes for the Sarmento Pinot Noir come from two separate 10-year-old vineyard blocks – each with a unique clone. This family-owned, sustainably-farmed vineyard benefits from its southeast exposure and cool climate, allowing the grapes to ripen fully.
Winemaker and Pinot Noir specialist, James MacPhail, has complete control over the creation of Sequana's limited production wines – from farming to winemaking. He understands Pinot Noir's temperament, its ability to convey the signature of each single vineyard and its preference for restrained, gentle winemaking. He makes his Pinot Noirs by hand in small batches, using cold maceration and native yeasts. "My goal is to express each vineyard's personality," says James.

MELBOURNE, March 16th, 2014 (F1Plus / Jacob Polychronis) Formula One debutant Kevin Magnussen has impressed in his career's first race by finishing on the final step of the podium in Melbourne on Sunday.
Magnussen has already achieved a higher finish after one race than the man he replaced at McLaren Mercedes, Sergio Perez, could for the entire 2013 season. The result highlights the team's desperation to return to former glory.
"I know the team is massively motivated to stay on top and they are a team that should be at the top of Formula One."
"It's not a win but it definitely feels a bit like a win because, as you said, the team is coming off a difficult season and they really wanted to come back and they've worked so hard over the winter."
Nonetheless, the result exceeded expectation for Magnussen who was impressed by the cars pace during the race.
"The car was so much better than it's been at any point [of this year]. We just keep improving the car. I had just exactly what I needed the whole race."
"It's hard to believe really. It just seems so unreal."
During periods of the race it appeared Magnussen would finish in second position as he hunted down Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. Despite entering the DRS zone on a number of occasions, the Dane was unable to create an over-taking manoeuvre on the Australian.
"I think me and Dan had pretty similar pace but obviously you can do stuff with the engine to try and push for a few laps and then you have to back off because you have to harvest the energy again."
"I didn't have enough pace to get past Dan."
Claiming a podium position in his first Grand Prix whilst piloting an improving McLaren car has Magnussen understandably buoyed heading into round two of the season.
"I think what Mercedes and McLaren have done together is amazing and I'm really looking forward to what's coming ahead."
Formula One now heads to Sepang for the Malaysian Grand Prix on 30th of March.

Do OfficeMax rewards "roll"? That is, can I use my rewards certificate on future rewards-eligible items and still get the reward for those future items?
Yes I have done this at least 6 times. And just keep rolling them to more free after rewards products.
Thanks for these deal alerts Collin! Quick question….can MaxPerks be rolled after they're received? tia!
Yes they can. You log in to your account and it looks lke a gift card that can be printed to use at store or typed in online.
i always use my max perks rewards to purchase other max rewards items that i need. the only downside is that it takes awhile for the rewards to post (i think it states they post by the end of the following month)
Thanks Virginia and Makayla! :)
Thanks for the reminder Collin. I did mine around 3 am O_O and already some were backordered. Still a great deal as I will be giving the second one away and using my earned rewards for ink.
Does Office Max accept manufacturer coupons?
Yes they do. I used the $1 off Expo Markers coupon.
Does anyone else not have the labels coming up as free after max rewards?
No, so I don't either so how do I know that I'm buying the correct item to get the reward?
Looks like most of the student backpacks are out of stock online, best bet is to head to the store.
For those who can't go in to a store, OfficeMax also has some very basic backpacks under the 1cent deal that could be used for school under NFL backpacks if u can match it up to a favorite team.
So I got a paper bag in my newspaper that said anything in the bag you get 20% off – didn't read anything in the fine print excluding backpacks so couldn't you get 20% off?
Just got back from OfficeMax – had to take advantage of the Penny Backspacks – and found out today is Teacher Appreciation Day! They gave me 25% off my total, a free tote, and a bottle of water and cookie while I shopped!!! Class Act, OfficeMax ;)
When I click on the batteries to order the 10 pack that offers the reward, it does not say it is a 10 pack, but a 20 pack of batteries with a different set of numbers than what it says here and on Office Max front page. So, should I get the numbers listed, or should I get what is advertised? confused.
Went to my Office Max this morning, and I am so happy to finally purchase a back pack after so many years! I have never paid a $0.01 for a quality back pack. I love Swiss Gear! Ready to head back to college with an ease to my back and no holes in my pocket! :D I hope my purchases from the beginning of the month kick in by August 4th to purchase the calculator I need for math class! I will pay $0.00 out of pocket…
There is also a deal for the 20 packs of batteries, 16.99 for the 20 packs of AAA and AA and you get 16.98 back.
Hi, Emily. WOuld you happen to have the specific item number?Thank you.
THANK YOU COLLIN! I logged on this morning at 6am west coast time and most of the backpacks were gone, but I snagged 2 good looking bags that are now on backorder for me! I don't care if it takes awhile for them to get to me… they are free! I am a foster mom and I can always use school supplies. Awesome deal!
I went to my store and got myself an adorable messenger bag and got a cute tote bag with a peace sign on it for my daughter to use for sleepovers. Both are great! I didn't realize that you could get anything other than backpacks so I was thrilled!
I have a Maxperks reward card but never used it online. I don't see where to put the Maxperks card number during the checkout. Is it automatic as soon as you log in? Thanks!
Never mind! I found out!
I went to my office max today and got my son a backpack but I had a $5 off $25.00 coupon from the survey I did from my last receipt so made my deal better then I got a coupon for $10 off a $25.00 purchase at pay less shoe source . yay I have never gotten money back from purchasing a backpack and my son wanted Jansport but they dont sell that brand so I told him to get Swiss Gear hopefully its just as good. thanks
You won't regret Swiss Gear=)
do you pay the full price up front for the backpack? and then get the reward in you account later?
Yes. I think it takes a month for the rewards to post to your rewards account.
do you have to use the reward all at once when you get it or can it be split up betwee transactions? Thank you,
You may choose to slip it up in several transactions on different days, just make sure you use them all up before they expire.
I was wanting to get the $10 office chair for my self but I couldn't decide. Well tonight we went out to eat and there was a Payless Shoes in the same parking lot I had to get my son some shoes anyway. We got a pair on clearance for $7 and the receipt printed a $10 off $40 for Office Max!! Woohoo free office chair in my future! I just wish I could use the coupon online then it would be a $2 money maker with the 7% cash back from shopathome but hey free is still free!!
I have heard that some people are getting Payless coupons from their purchases at Office Max too… so this may turn out to be a really good deal!
