Such a nice interview with such a nice man... his work with the wounded warrior project is so terribly impressive.
I suffer from PTSD myself, and I only wish the cause of my problem had such a valiant crusader seeking help for this difficult disorder. Thank you, Rick, for being so selfless with your time. In the long run, you will help us all.

Young mother pushing baby in stroller stabbed in purse snatch attempt at 29th and Franklin
Victim in stable condition, baby not hurt
DENVER - Denver police say a purse snatcher stabbed a young mother while she was pushing her 1-year old baby in stroller near 29th and Franklin early Sunday afternoon.
"She was attacked from behind," said Sgt. Betty Hale. "The man attempted to take her purse, she pulled away and he stabbed her in the abdomen with an unknown object."
Hale said the woman had gotten off a light rail train at the 30th and Downing Street Station a few minutes earlier and was walking east on 29th Avenue when she was attacked.
"She fell onto the baby," Hale said, adding that investigators weren't sure if she fell to protect the baby, or because she was stabbed.
Hale said that after the assailant ran away, the victim was able to reach for her cell phone and call police.
The woman was rushed to the hospital in stable condition, police said. She had non-life-threatening injuries.
Police also say the baby was not injured.
Neighbor Nathan Kiefer told 7NEWS that he didn't see the assault, but did see the ambulance pull up across the street from his house.
"It's scary," Kiefer said. "In broad daylight. It's horrible that somebody would do something like that (to her), especially when she had a child, over a purse."
Police only have a vague description of the assailant, but they want the public to know it.
They're looking for a black male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a Broncos baseball-style hat, long sleeve blue shirt and black Dickies type pants.
Anyone who may have seen a man fitting that description in the vicinity of 29th and Franklin around 12:30 p.m. Sunday is asked to contact Denver Police.

Ayón Nets Double-Double; Mexico Prepares For Round Two
After a somewhat surprising winning streak to start the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship, Mexico finally suffered its first loss of the season Tuesday night, a 98-78 setback at the hands of Argentina.
Mexico finished first round group play 3-1, advancing to the second round as the group's #2 seed. They have five points carrying over and are in position to qualify for the FIBA World Cup next year in Spain, which is somewhat remarkable considering they didn't even qualify for FIBA Americas and were the replacement team for suspended Panama.
New Atlanta Hawk Gustavo Ayón scored 19 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. He also had three assists and two blocks in 32 minutes of action in the losing effort. New Pacers backup center Luis Scola led Argentina with 25 points.
Despite the loss, Mexico has given its fans hope headed into the eight-team round two field. Play begins Thursday, and Mexico will be looking forward to the day off after playing three games in as many days.

President Obama has been named Time Magazine's person of the year, and I can't think of anyone more deserving. He has done and continues to do so much for our country. From passing the Health Care Reform to ending the War in Iraq and, most recently, his support and action in terms of gun control after the Sandy Hook tragedy. He has shown his compassion, support and determination time and time again.
So in order to honor this occasion, I've decided to gather some great photos of Barack Obama. These pictures further demonstrate what makes him a great leader and role model.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A judge has just ordered a DC cop held without bond.
Investigators arrested Officer Linwood Barnhill Jr. and he's now charged with pandering two minors.The judge ordered the officer moved to the treatment side of the jail.
Officer Barnhill has been on the force for decades. And it looked like he was wearing his police utility pants as the marshals led this huge guy into the courtroom in handcuffs and leg irons.
On a MySpace page photo you can see Officer Barnhill has his arms around two girls.But one of his alleged victims says he was prostituting as many as a half dozen young women.
Police were looking for a 16-year-old runaway last week and they say they found her in the cop's apartment on Stanton Road in Southeast, where neighbors are furious that police had finally just arrested him.
Wanda Johnson says, "It's disgusting. You're supposed to look up to police officers."
An upstairs neighbor who was too afraid to go on camera says all the girls coming into his apartment were his nieces.
"Constantly people coming in and out. Saw one guy, a white guy
Police now say they've found a second young victim, a 15-year-old who says the cop stopped her at a bus stop and asked her if she wanted to model for him.She told him she was 15, and knowing that, he still arranged for here to have sex with a 40 or 50 year old white guy named Don.
Officer Barnhill allegedly told the 16-year-old he'd buy clothes for her at Rainbow, a used clothing store.He allegedly split the prostitution payment with her. She Got $60 and he got $20.Police say he advertised the teenagers on backpage.com
Barnhill had been on the drug unit at 7D.But when they went to his apartment, investigators say they found him smoking pot.
Police say the officer, who joined the department in 1989, has not been on full duty since September 2012. He has been placed on Administrative Leave.
"As disheartening as it is to have members of this department involved in this type of conduct, I take solace in knowing that it was members of this department who worked tirelessly to ensure that they were brought to justice," said Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier.

We'll be at the Viterbi New Student Luau tomorrow (Thursday, August 22nd, 2013) to greet all of the incoming civil and environmental engineers and tell you more about ASCE. Be sure to stop by our table and say hi!
Category Archives: Uncategorized
On Environmental Engineering
I recently received an email from an incoming student regarding a common question and felt that since so many people ask this, it would be good to share a response:
How closely linked are civil and environmental engineering? I am much more interested in environmental. Do the two overlap very much?
Disclaimer: The ideas expressed in this article in no way reflect the views of the university, civil/environmental engineering department, or ASCE. They are one person's opinions based on one life experience.
In my experience, you only share a couple of classes with civil engineering (CE) (general track) majors, like statics, fluid mechanics, risk analysis, etc. Those are kind of "core" engineering classes anyway, but each engineering department has its own version of the class. You will share the most classes with CE (environmental emphasis) majors, and barely any with CE (structural/building science) majors. As an environmental engineering major (ENE), you will not have to take classes in dynamics, materials, transportation, concrete, or steel. However, you will take much more biology and chemistry than CE majors. The heart of ENE lies in water and wastewater treatment, with some air pollution and solid waste management.
This summer, I am interning at a civil engineering consulting firm in Hawaii. In Hawaii, most of the "environmental engineering" jobs are covered by civil firms because there isn't enough environmental engineering work to warrant entire companies that only focus on that. As a result, I learned many transportation, construction, and project management concepts on my own because I didn't take those classes in school. I'm still figuring things out, but it seems to me that unless you're interested in research, a lot of the chemistry and biology might not be used too often in design.
All in all, it just depends on what you want to do. I think that if I had known the relationship between college classes and the work situation before I started, I might have chosen a different major. I love taking the classes in the ENE major, but if I had known I wanted to return to Hawaii after graduating, I might have chosen to major in civil engineering with an environmental emphasis, just so I had that broader background. I know there are definitely environmental engineering firms out there, so it just depends on where you want to end up. Just keep in mind that many "environmental engineering" jobs are hidden within civil engineering firms. Other schools don't even offer ENE as a separate major from CE, so some companies might think that the ENE degree limits your knowledge in areas besides water and wastewater treatment.
2013 Little Buddy Applications Are Out!

The basic principles are respect for fellow workers, understanding the root cause of difficulties, perseverance and building consensus before making decisions.
After growing new sales by almost 40 per cent to 14,700 last year to become the fastest growing premium brand in the UK, Settle said 2008 would be a year of consolidation.
Despite a diesel model, the IS 220d, topping the brand's UK sales last year, Settle said Lexus' future focus remained very much on maintaining its dominant position in the hybrid market.
He took up his current position in 2005 having previously spent seven years with Toyota Europe.
What is the current size of Lexus' dealer network?
How much of the network operates separately from Toyota?
We are moving towards more dedicated Lexus sites and want 75 per cent of the network to be solus by 2010. But we don't want to push dealerships in smaller territories to be over facilitised.
Brighton, Teesside and Southend have all been relocated and we have three more sites to go to bring the entire network up to the latest standards.
Will network numbers increase?
How much investment in standards do you expect dealers to make?
Our Centre Stage programme checks the customer gets the Lexus experience. Because we are a small brand our centres help to generate brand awareness.
What is the network's make up?
Which models drove sales growth last year?
Market forces made the 220d successful because it was the newest and cleanest car in the segment and caught the imagination of user-choosers who were sick of the 3 Series.
What's Lexus' long-term vision?
Who is most interested in buying Lexus hybrids?
How will you take your hybrid line-up forward?
Is there a contradiction in producing hybrid models alongside higher consumption performance petrol cars to compete with BMW's M Series and Mercedes' AMG?
We're doing it because we can. It's about engineering expertise and trying to make the best cars in the world. It doesn't detract from our differentiation into hybrid but shows we can make stunning performance cars as well. The ISF will be launched in 2008. These products fire up the dealer network.
Will the ISF detract from Lexus' green credentials in the UK?
We already sell more hybrid RXs than petrol and this year we'll sell more hybrid GSs than petrol. Within three years we'll give a hybrid option on the whole range before Mercedes is even in the market.
What is the sales forecast for 2007 and beyond?
The momentum is building and hybrid is the tool for long-term growth. It means we won't be competing directly with BMW, Mercedes and Audi because we'll be leading the way. Others will follow because the government will drive the market towards hybrids.
Are you concerned that Lexus slipped back in the RMIF National Franchised Dealers' Association's Dealer Attitude Survey?
Does Lexus appeal to young or older buyers?
Would you consider Nissan's introduction of the Infiniti brand to the UK as a threat to Lexus?
The premium market in the UK already accounts for 20 per cent of the total so it will be difficult to establish another brand. How many customers would move from Lexus to Infiniti having already moved from a prestige German brand?
So which are your main rivals?

The Case
On November 7, 2011, the ASPCA and IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) responders helped local law enforcement raid a Hot Springs, Arkansas, puppy mill, rescuing roughly 175 Westies, Boston Terriers, Pomeranians and other small dogs and helping collect evidence to build a case against the owner.
The breeding dogs, some with tiny, unweaned puppies, had been living in sheds outside a mobile home. Responders found them suffering from various eye diseases, dental disease, skin diseases, fleas, mites and heartworm.
The raid stemmed from a two-year investigation led by Corporal Angela Graybeal, a Garland County sheriff's investigator who received numerous complaints about the living conditions and mistreatment of the puppy mill dogs. The investigation culminated in the arrest of mill owner Pam Thomas on three felony counts of animal cruelty.
Soon after the arrest, our veterinary forensics team and responders from IFAW began combing the property to collect evidence, including several deceased dogs. At the same time, the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response (FIR) Team began removing dogs from the puppy mill. The team transported the dogs to a temporary shelter using the ASPCA's custom animal transport trailer.
Once the dogs arrived at the temporary shelter, a veterinary team led by FIR Medical Director Dr. Rhonda Windham began assessing and treating the dogs' medical conditions. The dogs then received toys, affection and healthy food from a sheltering team of roughly 30 people, using supplies donated by PetSmart Charities, Inc.
On November 23, 2011, mill owner Pam Thomas pleaded not guilty to all charges against her, but also relinquished all dogs—including eight puppies born between the raid and her court appearance—to the ASPCA.
Stay tuned for more information on how the ASPCA will find these puppies new homes.

B.B. King's Blues Club Restaurant Review: You can take in blues, soul, jazz or rock every night of the week, and there's no need to worry about where to eat beforehand. From Memphis-style dry-rubbed ribs to a Creole basket of boiled seafood to a Carolina barbecue-glazed filet of salmon, the cooking is surprisingly good for a music club that's popular with tourists. We also recommend the chicken-fried chicken with caramelized onion pan gravy and the sultry gumbo with chicken, andouille sausage and crawfish. There's also chili spaghetti, a little-known Southern comfort dish, as well as juicy ribs and steaks. For dessert, try the banana bread pudding. Be prepared for a very loud atmosphere, however, as this is a nightclub. There is full bar service, but don't expect much in the way of wine.

Rachel Ciupek-Reed
Rachel Ciupek-Reed graduated from PSR in 2007. After serving as the sabbatical minister for a small congregation in Vermont in the summer, she spent time with her only surviving grandparents, learning about their past and "what life was like at the turn of the 20th century as the daughter of a mixed-race sharecropper in Northern Arkansas, and the son of Polish immigrants in upstate New York."
Rachel has a number of fond memories of PSR: "from laughter at the breakfast table to wine on the rooftop, and watching the moon over the calm water of the bay in the misty-morning distance." Valued classroom experiences include her courses in "Pastoral Care and Race" and "Religion and Islamaphobia," as well as designing a chapel worship service and conversing with faculty about homosexuality and religion.
"I think back to the metaphor of a kaleidoscope presented to each new student the fall of my first year by Rev. Barbara Essex," says Rachel. "How true it is that the world has opened into many layers and fractal impressions comprised of religion, philosophy, politics, persons, history, science, spaces empty and spaces filled. To learn to walk through a world where there is no simple answer, and yet know that I am able to articulate in simple words my place in that world… this is the best possible preparation to find. How fortunate I am that I found it here at PSR."
In May 2013 Rachel accepted the call to join the staff of Spirit of Peace UCC as Associate Pastor in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Search and rescue crews looking for Big Island fisherman
Man, 67, was last seen at Ka Lae Point
UPDATED 5:04 PM HST Jan 14, 2013
Big Island fire crews are searching for a 67-year-old man who fire officials say was fishing before falling off a 20-foot cliff.
Firefighters responded to Ka Lae Point, or South Point, just before 11 p.m. Sunday.
A Coast Guard C-130 aircraft, a Coast Guard Dolphin helicopter and a National Guard Black Hawk helicopter also assisted in the search.
Fire officials say the fisherman was last seen by other fisherman in the area. They lost sight of the man approximately 50 yards offshore due to darkness.
Fire officials say this is a popular fishing area with high cliffs and strong currents.

BROOKLYN (AP) — Ty Dillon won the ARCA race at Michigan International Speedway on Friday after leader Cale Gale appeared to have a tire problem near the end.
Gale led for 64 of 100 laps, but he went crashing into the restraining wall on lap 95, putting the field under caution. After the restart, Dillon held off Max Gresham by 0.118 seconds in a frantic finish.
Gale finished 19th.
Dillon, the points standings leader, won for the fourth time in eight starts this season.
Tim George Jr., who won the rain-shortened ARCA race last weekend at Pocono Raceway for his first victory in 50 career starts in the series, finished third in Michigan. He was followed by Chad Hackenbracht and Chris Buescher.

Which is good news for us!!! Along w/ the info on the US dollars, they are broadcasting on tv to standby for additional information about Iraqi Dinar reaching its true value!!!

Less than two months after becoming the oldest pitcher to win a big-league game, lefty starter Jamie Moyer cleared waivers on Monday, officially ending his short stay with the Rockies.
But don't start thinking this is the end for the 49-year-old veteran of 25 seasons. Moyer has given no indication that he plans to retire and while he struggled in his last starts with the Rockies, he showed enough for another club to give him a chance to extend his career.
Moyer needs to find a home with a big ballpark, such as Detroit, Minnesota or San Diego. All three teams have been looking to add depth to their rotation.
— Jamie Moyer designated for assignment
Moyer finished 2-5 with a 5.70 ERA in 10 starts covering 53 2/3 innings for the Rockies. He struck out 36, walked 18 and allowed 11 homers. He worked at least five innings in every start but one.
"With any pitcher, consistency is the most important thing," Moyer told reporters after the Rockies had designated him for assignment. "I haven't done that at this point, but I believe that I can find that."
Because he has cleared waivers, Moyer becomes a free agent able to sign with any team.

The Pew Hispanic Center says President Obama's amnesty for illegal alien young people will permit about 1.4 million illegals to stay in the country, a considerable jump from the 800,000 originally reported.
The research organization bases its claim on its estimates of the total number of illegals here, which it puts at about 11.2 million.
Obama's declaration that he would not deport young illegals who meet a short list of criteria came on Friday after a more than a year of incremental statements and actions by the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Repeatedly, federal authorities have said they will not deport illegal aliens who do not break criminal statutes.
According to the New York Times, "Under the change, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer initiate the deportation of illegal immigrants who came to the United States before age 16, have lived here for at least five years, and are in school, are high school graduates or are military veterans in good standing. The immigrants must also be under 30 and have clean criminal records."
Obama has, in effect, declared the failed DREAM Act law, a policy change only subordinates have openly discussed until last week. The DREAM Act, which failed to pass the U.S. Senate in December 2010, would enable illegals who were in the United States for at least five years, yet met a list of criteria, such as graduating high school, being good citizens or serving in the military, to stay here permanently.

We have two "puppies" who love to chew. A few weeks ago, they dug up an old tree stump in the backyard just so they could chew on the wood. Animals! Since I'm not about to keep an old tree stump just to let them chew on it, we needed to find some durable dog chews and dog toys that could stand up to their very aggressive, and very destructive, chewing.
After a bit of trial and error, some hits and some misses, here are 5 dog toys and dog chews that have lasted for our dogs and that I would recommend if your dog is a chewer and likes to chew a lot.
Durable Dog Chew Toys
1. Acadia Antlers Moose Antler Chews
My favorite dog chew toy by far is the rope antler chew from Acadia Antlers. These are made from naturally shed moose antlers and have a sturdy rope that runs through them. The antlers come in different sizes so you can pick up small antler chew toys for the smaller dogs and "colossal" antlers for larger dogs.
Moose antlers are harder than deer or elk antlers, and they definitely stand up to the chew test. While some dog chew toys lasted minutes or days, the Acadia Antler chews last for weeks (months even.) Sera and Sophie like the medium antler tynes and the rope antler chews.
Prices for Acadia Antlers chews range from $6 to $100+ depending on the size and quantity of antlers you buy.
2. Nylabone Dura Chew Wishbone
This chew toy from Nylabone is designed to be chewed. Made of a durable plastic, it creates tiny bristles that help clean teeth and prevent plaque and tartar build-up. As the dog chews, the bristles break off into tiny pieces of plastic as the dog chews. These pieces are probably swallowed by the dog but are not harmful to them as they simple pass through the system.
After several months, the two that we have are still about 90% there, and it's not for lack of chewing. The wishbone shape helps them grip the chew toy between their paws, allowing them to really chew on the bone.
The Nylabone Dura Chew Wishbone is currently on sale on Amazon for $8.59 for the wolf size and $6.52 for the regular size.
3. Chuckit! Ultra Ball
An old tennis ball usually does the trick when it comes to playing fetch. The thing with tennis balls is that the green fuzz usually wears off, is torn off, or, when you have a dog that likes to chew, chewed off.
A more durable alternative for use are the large Chuckit! Ultra Balls. You can use them with the Chuckit! launcher, but I just throw by hand. Made of natural rubber, the Chuckit! Ultra Balls aren't too heavy, have a good bounce, but most importantly, they're quite durable. I've often seen Sera on the grass just chew, chew, chewing the ball without it popping or breaking into pieces.
The large Chuckit! Ultra Ball is on sale on Amazon for $8.35. There are also small and medium size Chuckit! Ultra balls for $7.53 and $9.07 (for two.)
4. JW Pet Company Hol-ee Roller Dog Toy
A fun twist on the traditional rubber ball, the JW Pet Company Hol-ee RollerDog Toys are a lot of fun. They are made of a slightly flexible and durable natural rubber. The gaps between the grids make it easy, but not too easy, for the dogs to get a bite of the ball. I think that's one of the reasons it lasts so long. They can bite it, but it isn't something they can gnaw on.
I like putting one of the Acadia Antlers in between the grids as a sort of puzzle for them to get the antler out. You can also put treats inside to make playing with the Hol-ee Roller even more fun. The grid shape also allows humans to get a good grip so you can play tug-of-war with it as well.
The JW Pet Company Hol-ee Roller Dog Toy comes in four different sizes, ranging from 3.5 to 9-inches and ranges in price from $5.19 (for 3.5″) to $13.83 (for 9″).
5. PetProjekt Cozmo Dog Chew Toys
When I first saw these, I thought they looked like little microbes. These are made with 100% natural rubber and are a little bit "softer" than the rubber that the Chuckit! Ultra Ball is made of. However, they still last surprisingly long. I think it's because each of the little legs sticking out prevents the dogs from getting a good grip on a leg with it's rear teeth. While they might successfully chew off the ends of a few of the legs, overall this one has held up pretty well.
The girls tend to chase these and chew as opposed to chewing on them as they would a bone. But they're still durable and have stood up to their aggressive chewing.
Available in both small and large sizes, as well as in three different colors, the PetProjekt Small Cozmo is $5.51 and ideal for small to medium dogs (5-50 lbs), while the PetProject Large Cozmo is $9.56 and good for medium to large dogs (50-100lbs).
What About Plush Dog Toys?
There is a reason there are no plush toys on this list. While I may think they're "too cute" and "so soft", the dogs can literally de-stuff any stuffed toy within a matter of minutes. The longest lasting "plush" toys were the Jax Rope Toys, which aren't really plush, but are more rope stuffed animals. We got Elton the Octopus in a BarkBox and bought Hank the Hippo.
Elton lasted about 30 minutes of serious dog chewing before being de-stuffed. Hank lasted a little longer. I think the difference being that Elton has eight rope arms that are perfect for biting and tugging on. The rope bodies have lasted much longer and I've left them around since the girls still like playing with them. These would be great for smaller dogs, especially teething puppies that don't have their "big dog" teeth yet.
Is your dog a chewer? Do you have a favorite dog chew toy that can survive aggressive chewing?

Love it. My son just got a puppy and he chews everything
Just a reminder a puppy requires different chews than an adult dog. If you have questions you can as me at toytails.wordpress.com under "what's the woof"
I completely understand having a toy destroying dog. My dog can easily tear apart many toys that are considered durable. At toytails.wordpress.com you can read about whether the toy is durable or not with pictures of before and after.
This is a great review. I love that you are reviewing Pet Products. I spend a lot of money on things that fall apart or my dogs or cats don't like.

I like the chews for teeth cleaning. One of my dogs is over 200 pounds and we haven't found anything he doesn't chew and fill his tummy with quickly. I noticed you actually had a "Pet" section in your review section, sooo……. I was wondering…have you ever reviewed a product that is a "vest of sorts", that you can put on them if they are having fear issues with anything?
You are referring to the thunder vest I believe although I have not tried it directly I know it works by reducing static in the dogs fur, which in turn calms them.
I need to look into some of these. My mom's dog chews everything including walls!

Any of them float?
The Hardcore Firehose toy and Fling n' Fetch ball float however depending if your dog is an aggressive chewer or not will dictate whether these toys are suitable for your dog. Check out http://www.toytails.wordpress.com
What breed of dog is in the pictures?
Our toy killer cannot destroy this… oneworldfutbol.com
He can kill any other indestructible toy we've tried.
It gets really expensive having to keep replacing the dogs toys. They destroy them quite fast so I thank you for reviewing the toys. I'm definitely going to check them out.

If you want a soft toy.. fluff and tuff dog toys!! Lasted months with a bernese that can destroy almost any toy in minutes!! Only stuffed toy ive found that lasts!
If you want a soft toy get fluff and tuff dog toys!! Lasted months with a bernese that can destroy almost any toy in minutes!! Only stuffed toy ive found that lasts!
For plush toys we've tried Tuffy's (mentioned above, available on Amazon) and have had a TON of success with those. A couple of them haven't held up as well as others but overall they've been great. Avoid the penguin or the pig but the stegosaurus, ant, scorpion, shark, and ring-shaped have been awesome. They float too!
I have also tried Tuffy's and had a level 8 on the tough scale. To find out what happen to this toy (tiger) see http://www.toytails.wordpress.com
West Paws' s-shaped Bumi toy has lasted a long, long, long time with my 90lb Shepherd retrieving, chewing and tugging it. She has two small and one large and still has all three. One small one is just now showing some wear and tear but not quickly giving up. You can also get a Hurley (sort of bone shaped) and some other shapes, but my girl loves the S-shaped one. I highly recommend this toy over and over again. The material is kind of rubbery but not a rubber toy and not plastic. It's a new material – very tough but flexible.
My Labrador loved chewing on antlers, until he cracked TWO teeth. He had to have them pulled. My vet told me this is fairly common when dogs are given antlers. Beware!
Thank you we have a golden puppy that loves to chew
With a puppy please remember they have specific chew requirements. If you have question feel free to post under What's the Woof? at http://www.toytails.wordpress.com
We have a boxer and 1 toy that has stood up above all the rest is the nerf,dog football! Zeus is an aggressive chewer. Its lasted mnths & is still good
The wubba- kong brand you. It's at petco or target, worth the 12$. My pitbull has has this toy for 3 months and broke the ball inside but still has not been able to tear it apart. It's a great toy. Also a Cow shin bone is a god send. I give it to her everyday for a few hours at a time and it's withering away but it's lasted 2 months already, only 5$. I no longer buy any other toys or bones. Take it from me you can find them both at target and would love them both!!!!
Thanks for the list. Durability is a big concern when purchasing dog toys, because they will try and destroy them. It will also happen very quickly if the toy isn't made well. Another thing to keep in mind for your dog's safety is the materials they are made of. Even a durable toy made from unsafe materials can cause illness or death to you dog. Read this article for a little more info. https://madeinamericapetsupplies.com/safe-dog-toys/
Zeea destroys toys that are supposely for exterme chewers so I started a blog to help you find the right toys; http://toytails.wordpress.com
We love the Tuffy toys for our chewer! He has three of those, and I found a plush pig (with a squeaker!) at Petco that seems to be made with similar materials/design. The Tuffy brand toys work well because they are designed to be a little bigger than what is comfortable for serious chewing. K9tuff.com has a number of other toys that work well too, and some even come with a lifetime warranty, so if your chewer does destroy the toy, they will replace it (at least that was the policy when I bought a toy from them last).
We have a 6 month old rottweiler. She is unbelievably strong!! I got expensive durable toys for big dogs and some lasted 1 hr! !!! Any suggestions of toys? To keep her busy:)
Thank you.
I would suggest the orbee-tuff diamond plated ball it is very durable without being extremely hard. You can also put treats in it. Check out http://www.toytails.wordpress.com to see more durable toy reviews. I have a TOP 5 DURABLE TOY LIST.
My GSD chews up everything! Kong's and the Nylabone dura-chews work really well, for the most part. With that being said, we still have to pay attention to wear &tear and throw them out when He wears them down/out. Thanks for all the suggestions above:) Sue B & Luca
JW hollee rollers are not durable for any medium to strong chewer, especially those that like to rip their toys. Jump has a line of tougher plush toys that are suitable for strong chewers, but not for extreme chewers.
My dog must be part shark because none of these would last beyond a few minutes. I highly highly recommend Goughnut toys for anyone who has a dog with shark in the breed mix

FC Dallas' winless streak continued with a 0-0 stalemate in Montreal on Saturday. Despite the draw on a tough road trip, the team didn't see much positive movement in this week's power rankings.
Yahoo Sports moved FC Dallas down to #10:
Earning a draw at Montreal would normally be a good result, but Dallas really need to locate a win. Talk about a July to forget.
FC Dallas remained number 11 according to MLSsoccer.com:
All things considered, a point on the road is a good result for a team that's trying desperately to hang on in the playoff race. But there's this: They haven't scored a single goal since June. Crisis.
Avi Creditor of SportsIllustrated.com left FC Dallas in the #10 spot:
Center back anchor George John returned following a four-game absence and helped FC Dallas to a 0-0 draw against Montreal, but the club remains winless since May 25, a stretch of eight games. That streak will linger on past the MLS All-Star Game, as FCD does not play another league game until an Aug. 3 date against the Seattle Sounders that kicks off a run of seven games in a row against Western Conference competition.
Pro Soccer Talk also put FC Dallas in the 10th spot:
Speaking of Stoke City, they move from South Texas up I-45 to suburban Dallas for a meeting with Schellas Hyndman's team over the weekend.
ESPN FC dropped FCD one spot to number 13:
George John's return helped Dallas secure a much-needed road point at Montreal. And while FCD was missing some speedier elements, it seems reasonable to expect more offense from a lineup featuring David Ferreira, Kenny Cooper and Eric Hassli.
Finally, Soccer America moved FC Dallas down three to #10.
FC Dallas welcomes Stoke City to FCD Stadium on Saturday in the first-ever game between FC Dallas and an EPL side in Frisco. Their trip to north Texas is sandwiched between games in Houston and Philadelphia. New Stoke manager Mark Hughes has released his travel roster for their week-long USA tour:
TICKETS: FC Dallas vs Stoke City FC - Saturday, July 27, 8:00PM - FC Dallas Stadium
Stoke City FC Travel Roster
Goalkeepers: Asmir Begovic, Thomas Sorensen, Jack Butland
Defenders: Geoff Cameron, Ryan Shawcross, Robert Huth, Erik Pieters, Ryan Shotton, Andy Wilkinson, Marc Wilson, Marc Muniesa, Jordan Keane
Midfielders: Wilson Palacios, Charlie Adam, Florent Cuvelier, Glenn Whelan, Steven N'Zonzi, Matthew Etherington, Michael Kightly, Jamie Ness, Maurice Edu, Brek Shea*

As he does every Thursday, Hunt Sports Group VP Dan Hunt sat down on our Facebook page to chat with the fans on everything from new signings to strategy to stadium improvements. CLICK HERE to read the full chat, here's a few excerpts:
This morning, HSG Chairman Clark Hunt had a lengthy chat with 1310 AM The Ticket's legendary host Norm Hitzges. Norm, who can be seen at many FC Dallas games, has commentated on soccer for decades including the Dallas Tornado and Dallas Sidekicks. Listen to the great interview:
Looking for a place to watch this weekend's game with your fellow FC Dallas fans? July's Party at the Pubs watch party will be held at The Pub in Frisco on Saturday, with kickoff set for 6 p.m. In addition to the game, the FC Dallas girls and Hooper will stop by and you could go home with some free stuff.
Giveaways include Gold Cup tickets, as well as tickets for the Stoke City friendly next weekend and Breakaway Festival, FC Dallas gear, and a shirt autographed by the team.
The Pub is located off Preston Road, past Gaylord Parkway.

This weekend is a rare first for FC Dallas as they'll make their inaugural trip to the city of Montreal for Saturday's match against the Impact. Montreal is the only team in MLS that FCD has never taken a road trip to, so we thought we'd educate you on the city at the heart of French-Canadian culture.
Join us at The Pub in Frisco for our Party at the Pubs watch party pres. by Budweiser
Montreal has been an incorporated city since 1832 and has been one of the economic centers of Canada since the mid-1800's. By 1930, the Montreal metropolitan area contained over 1,000,000 people and today the Montreal metropolita area population nears 4,000,000.
Montreal is renowned for its beautiful architecture and is one of just ten UNESCO Cities of Design in the world and the only one in North America.
Of course, one of the defining features of Montreal is the fact that most of the people speak French as their native language. Nearly 2/3rds of the population primarily speaks French and all it takes is a simple visit to the Impact's website to get a lesson in French.
From a business perspective, Montreal is a booming city and boasts one of the largest inland ports in the world and also remains the home of many of the top video game developers in the industry.
When it comes to sports in Montreal, the conversation starts with the Montreal Canadiens. One of the NHL's original six, the Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup a record 24 times, though they resemble the Dallas Cowboys in that Montreal is mired in a 20-year Stanley Cup drought.
With the Montreal Expos having moved to Washington, the Canadiens and Impact are the only major North American league teams in the city while the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League have won the Grey Cup eight times.
You can catch FCD's first ever trip to Montreal on Saturday at 6:00PM and we encourage you to head to The Pub in Frisco for our Party at the Pubs Watch Party Presented by Budweiser where we will be giving away Gold Cup semifinal tickets, Breakaway Music Festival tickets and much more FCD swag!
FC Dallas suffered their first home loss of the season against league leading Real Salt Lake on Saturday, unfortunately dropping them even further in this week's power rankings. On the brightside, the team didn't fall entirely out of the top 10.
Avi Creditor of SportsIllustrated.com dropped FC Dallas six spots to number 10:
The slide goes on for FC Dallas, which has not scored in three straight games, has not won in seven straight games and is falling back to the middle of the pack after setting a torrid pace out of the gate. Getting George John back to 100 percent would go a long way in FCD tightening things up in the back, as the center back has missed the last four matches and seen his team concede seven goals in that time.
FCD fell to number nine in Yahoo Sports' rankings:
It seems like just yesterday that Dallas were atop MLS power rankings and true Supporters' Shield contenders. Now they're just four points off of sixth place. Yikes.
MLSsoccer.com moved the Hoops down four spots to #11:
No wins since May 25. No real answers anywhere on the pitch. Bad times in Frisco.
ESPN FC continued to drop FC Dallas, bumping them all the way to number 12:
FCD is in freefall after losing at home to RSL, extending its winless streak to seven matches. And after getting shut out for the third consecutive game, the onus is on the attack to begin finishing off some of the team's neat approach work.
We're tracking towards one of, if not the biggest attendance year in FC Dallas Stadium history and the Dallas Morning News' Cheryl Hall talked to HSG's Clark and Dan Hunt about the success and vision of Lamar becoming a reality. It's a great read.
"My dad was always about the fans and the fan experience," says Clark, 48, chairman of Hunt Sports Group LLC, which owns two Major League Soccer franchises: FC Dallas and the Columbus Crew. "Dad's dream is becoming a reality. The MLS is ready for prime time."

VARIOUS - Feeling Minnesota - Music From The Motion Picture
Feelings, nothing more than
nothing more than your standard 90s soundtrack mix of new songs, old songs, and new covers of old songs, but an above average variation on the theme, at least. No Prince, Bob Mould, or Jayhawks, but enough local heroes to lend some shred of credibility to the title and theme.
"I Will Dare" follows in the footsteps of Say Anythings "Within Your Reach" to become the second Replacements song to gain big exposure in a movie. Its about time. With any luck therell be a movie called Kiss Me On The Bus sometime in the early 00s; in the meantime, if the use here of the galloping "I Will Dare" featuring guest Peter Buck wins even a few Mats converts, it has more than done its job. Seguing it out of "In My Mind," a centerpiece of midwesterner Jonny Polonskys instant classic debut LP from earlier this year, shows someone putting this soundtrack together actually gave a crap about sequencing it.
The man from Hibbing, Bob Dylan, croons his way through Johnny Cashs "Ring Of Fire" to lead off the disc. It marks the U. of Minnesota dropouts first use of questionable female backing vocals since 1988s hodgepodge Down In The Groove. It also may be the unfunkiest thing produced by Nile Rodgers ever, or at least since Lets Dance. But its got a good beat, and you can dance to it. Dick, I give it an 84.
Wilcos "Blasting Fonda" is just the kind of Neil Youngian ballad they excel at, complete with a slight psychedelic tinge to keep the sound away from Genericsville. A contribution by fellow ex-Uncle Tupelo offshoot Son Volt (how many times have you read that phrase in the last year and a half?) is much more of a trifle. Non-Minnesotans Los Lobos instrumental "Minnesota Medley" is more a montage of unfinished riffs that together dont approach the greatness of the bands fine 96 album Colossal Head but will make an interesting bonus track when the album is re-released in 25 years on whatever format replaces CDs. The funky Noam Chomsky of hip-hop, Michael Franti & Spearhead, passably cover Sly & The Family Stones "Family Affair." The original bubbled with such danger and energy that anyone covering it would have inevitably fell short, but any exposure is good exposure for Franti, who between his work with Spearhead and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy is the greatest politically-oriented genius in hip-hop since the glory days of Chuck D., and the most overlooked one ever.
Helmet and Joe Henry check in with unmemorable new songs, while fine old stuff is included from The Temptations (in vintage mid-70s post-Puzzle People funk mode), The Righteous Brothers, and Nancy Sinatranone of it in the form of overplayed signature songs. Maybe there is something more than feelings. Yeahmore than a feeling. Now theres an idea.

The North Carolina Chapter of the Sierra Club submitted comments today to the U.S. Army Corps of engineers about the idea of installing "solar bees" (i.e. big solar powered water mixers) to somehow clean up Jordan Lake rather than doing what's really necessary. It's worth your time to read.
"April 4, 2014
Mr. Justin Bashaw, Biologist

69 Darlington Avenue
Wilmington, NC 28403-1343
Re: NC Chapter Sierra Club Comment on the Environmental Assessment (EA) for "A Demonstration Project Showing the Impact of Floating In-Lake Long-Distance Circulators in B.E. Jordan Lake" dated March 2014.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the Environmental Assessment for the pilot project to place 36 floating water mixers in Jordan Lake. The NC Chapter of the Sierra Club urges the Army Corps to not grant a USACE real estate license to the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) for placement of circulators within the Morgan Creek and Haw River Arms of Jordan Lake.
Jordan Lake needs science-based solutions to control pollution, not water mixers. And we have the science-based rules that will, based on modeling projections, lead to a cleaner Jordan Lake. Read More

Lufthansa cancels 600 flights due to strikeComment on this story
Frankfurt - Lufthansa, Germany's largest airline, said it had cancelled around 600 flights - about a third of its services - on Thursday due to a planned strike by public-sector workers across the country's airports.
Trade union Verdi has called on ground staff, baggage handlers and maintenance staff at almost all of Germany's big airports, including Europe's third largest hub at Frankfurt, to strike during the morning shift on Thursday, which runs until around 15:00 SA time.
The union's aim is to increase pressure on the government ahead of a third round of pay talks due to start at the end of the month.
The walkout is part of wider industrial action that has also seen strikes by a range of other public-sector workers, including local transport staff and childcare workers.
Lufthansa, which typically operates around 1,800 flights on a Thursday under its Lufthansa and Germanwings brands, said it was cancelling almost all of its domestic flights that were due to take off before 15:00 SA time.
Long-haul flights would also be affected, it said.
The union says it expects around 1,400 people to take part in the strike action at Frankfurt airport alone.
The strike will affect Cologne-Bonn, Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover and Stuttgart airports, as well as Munich and Frankfurt.
Other airlines that said passengers could expect delays and cancellations include holiday specialists TUIFly and Condor, as well as Air Berlin, Germany's second largest airline.
Lufthansa said the strike would cost it millions of euros.
A walkout last month by security staff at Frankfurt airport, which brought chaos to the terminal as people were unable to get through security checks, cost the carrier 3 million euros in operating profit.
This time, Lufthansa said it and airport operator Fraport would try to better manage the expected queues by dividing the terminal into different coloured zones for different services.
Customers may also rebook tickets free of charge or those on domestic flights can instead travel on the Deutsche Bahn network of high-speed trains, the company said.
Trade unions want pay rises of 3.5 percent plus an extra 100 euros ($140) per month for about 2.1 million federal and municipal public sector workers.
That would amount to a total increase of 6.7 percent, they say.
The government says it is willing to accept a pay increase but that the demands are too high. - Reuters
