So while it has 30% less calories and 40% less fat than our Precise® Naturals Chicken Meal & Rice Foundation Formula, it's still premium nutrition that's more digestible than many other reduced calorie formulas. It's just what your dog needs to get to and maintain a healthier weight.

First shots with new 18-35mm G lens on D800

Yes, it was a used 17-35mm I was considering. It isn't available new.
I didn't consider the 14-24 because it is 3x the weight and 2x the cost of the 18-35 and 18mm is plenty wide enough for my uses. I don't really see wide apertures as a benefit in super wide lenses since I either use the for street photography or landscapes and in both those instances I will usually be using f8.

Best Club for Blues and Jazz (2000)
Rhythm Room
Most local music aficionados have heard that the Rhythm Room is being forced to move from its central Phoenix digs by early next year. It's been nearly a decade since the onetime go-go joint turned into a house of blues, a period in which booker/co-owner Bob Corritore has continued his one-man mission to keep that music form alive in Phoenix. A home away from home for true legends of the genre, Corritore's club has hosted notables from David Honeyboy Edwards and R.L. Burnside to young lions like the North Mississippi Allstars.
The club favors all styles of the blues, from jump and swing to the harder sounds of Chicago and the Delta. Yet the Rhythm Room has not neglected its roots side, either, featuring regular appearances by top jazz acts and a regular weekly night, headlined by some of the finest national and local talents in country and rockabilly.
Although the venue will have a new address by 2001, if its past track record is any indication, the Rhythm Room will remain the Valley's preeminent palace for heritage music.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Receive Medicare updates and information monthly.
It's logical to think that when you are a patient in a hospital, you are an inpatient.
Not so. You can be in a hospital room, in a hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown and eating hospital food—sometimes for days—without ever being admitted as an inpatient.
Hospitals assign patients to either inpatient status or observation status. In general:
You are likely to be assigned inpatient status when you are sick enough to need skilled, technical care. You must be formally admitted to the hospital by doctor's orders to have inpatient status.
You may be assigned observation status when doctors aren't sure how sick you are or what care you may need—but you are too sick to get care in the doctor's office.
As an example, let's say you are having chest pain. You go to the hospital emergency room. Doctors there aren't sure whether you are having a heart attack or not. They decide to keep you in the hospital on observation status to monitor your condition.
You stay in a hospital room for two nights. You are attached to a heart monitor and have your blood drawn for tests every few hours. You receive oxygen and regular nursing care. Maybe you receive other diagnostic tests.
Your chest pain subsides and your condition stabilizes. Tests reveal that you are not having a heart attack. You are discharged from the hospital and sent home.
In this example, you were on observation status for your entire stay.
Alternatively, doctors in the example may have determined that you were having a heart attack, or that you had another problem requiring skilled care. At that point your status might have changed to inpatient. The change of status could be retroactive to your first day in the hospital, or it could be applied only to the rest of your stay. The hospital determines what your status is based on your condition and the doctor's recommendation.
When you are in the hospital on observation status, you may pay more than you would as an inpatient for the same care. In addition, any necessary follow-up care in a skilled nursing facility may not be covered by Medicare at all.
Care you receive while on observation status in the hospital is covered under Medicare Part B (medical insurance). Observation status is viewed as outpatient care for insurance purposes. In the example given above, you would pay coinsurance for the care, services and tests you received while in the hospital. The amount could add up quickly. In addition, you would be responsible for 100% of the cost for any follow-up care or rehabilitation you needed when you left the hospital.
Inpatient care is covered under Medicare Part A (hospital insurance). After the deductible is met, Part A covers the full cost of hospital care and services up to 60 days in one benefit period. (A benefit period begins the day you go into the hospital or skilled nursing facility. It ends when you've been out for 60 days in a row.) So in the example above, you would pay nothing beyond any outstanding deductible amount.
The most important thing for you to do is to make sure you ask about your status when you are in the hospital. Ask every day: Am I an inpatient or an outpatient?
Do not assume that you are an inpatient, only to find out after the fact that you were not. Talk to your doctor or a patient advocate at the hospital if you learn that you are on observation status and are concerned about the cost of your care.
You may be able to appeal to Medicare if you are faced with a large, unexpected hospital bill due to being on observation status. But it may be better to avoid the situation by being proactive and informed.
For more information, contact the Medicare helpline 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), TTY 1-877-486-2048. If you have questions about Medicare Made Clear, call 1-877-619-5582, TTY 711, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. local time, seven days a week.

"We don't know about all this talk about the city negotiating with developer Joe Sitt to buy his land, incuding Astroland, in the heart of Coney Island's amusement district. What we do know for sure is that the amusement park is being dismantled. There are many photos and much discussion on the Coney Island Message Board and rumors that the rides may be sold to an amusement park in Australia. As one Coney insider told us, "when the 300 foot crane shows up to take down the Astrotower, you'll know for sure that it's over." The rides are being put in shipping containers. Both the city and Mr. Sitt have said rides will operate on the property next year." [Curbed]Photo courtesy of Deborah Matlack (via ConeyIsland.com) (via Curbed).

Astroland, Coney Island (Klingon65)
After 46 years of calling Coney Island home, Astroland is tearing down and packing up its rides for good.Marty Markowitz's quote makes no sense.
Owners say they could not come to terms with developer Thor Equities over a lease extension.
Co-Owner Carol Hill Albert says the developer forced her hand and gave her no choice but to shut down. In a statement, Albert says, in part:
"The safety of our customers and our commitment to employees means our time has run out. Ride parts must be ordered a minimum of eight to 10 months in advance. My employees cannot live in a state of limbo any longer."
Borough President Marty Markowitz said he had wanted Astroland to stay, but wants thrills to be a permanent part of Coney Island.
"Our focus will be to bring a major amusement operator to that space in Coney Island next year. Because I truly believe that if you can make it in Coney Island you can make it anywhere," said Markowitz.
Thor Equities issued a response saying it's disappointed that Albert has decided to "give up on the future of Coney Island."
It says the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel will both reopen next summer as part of a new Coney Island landscape. [NY1]

Watch Her Dance, Coney Island (New York Observer)
Hopefully by the time you read this you will be recovering from some dancefloor devastation no matter what you decided to do. Options abound for the weekend as well (for those staying in town) (or those visiting):
Originally billed as a "mystery guest", Peter Frampton will play the free concert in Coney Island tonight (at the future home of a new amphiteater). "Starship starring Mickey Thomas" is also on the bill.
Brian Wilson show in Coney Island - July 17, 2008 (Rubys Host)
Borough President Marty Markowitz brought home nearly $90 million worth of bacon in capital funding from the fiscal year 2009 city budget, according to Borough Hall documents.
Leading the charge were two of Markowitz's pet projects: a new amphitheater at Asser Levy Park in Coney Island ($29.3 million) and renovations to the historic Loew's Kings Theatre on Flatbush Avenue ($10.75 million).
"The Coney Island Center will be a much-needed community resource as well as bring to Coney Island the kind of state-of-the-art performance facility Brooklyn deserves," said Markowitz, who has been holding a summer concert series in the park since he took office.
"New York City's first covered, outdoor performance space will make our borough a natural stop on the summer concert circuit for entertainers who now play Jones Beach and Westbury Theater and the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey," he added.
Markowitz said the amphitheatre will also serve as "a cherished landmark at the gateway to the revitalized Coney Island, and help to ensure Coney remains the 'Playground of America' for this and future generations."
According to sources, the proposed amphitheatre will have an 8,000 seating capacity, and a schematic design is in process now with a groundbreaking expected in late summer 2009. [Your Nabe]

The year's festival could be the last in its established location. As usual the bands played on two stages on parallel streets leading to the boardwalk. The main stage was so close to the landmark Cyclone rollercoaster that drumrolls could easily segue into the clatter of the coaster rounding a turn.Part 1 HERE. Polaroids HERE. More pictures below....
Siren isn't the most comfortable of rock festivals. The sound systems are mediocre and the pedestrian routes between the stages are irrational. But Siren does place the tattooed-nerd fashion sense of indie rock in the diverting context of Coney Island's other freaks and sideshows.
A prospective redevelopment, replacing the old amusement area, could break ground next year. The rides of Astroland, next to the Siren main stage, were supposed to close forever last year, but reopened this year in a reprieve. The area's fate is still hanging. "It's my first time here," said Kevin Drew, the leader of Broken Social Scene, as the band ended its set. "I don't want it to be the last."

Coney Island, August 23, 2003 (via Bjork gigography)
I'll never forget showing up late to the Bjork / Sigur Ros in Brooklyn five years ago. I was upset that I was missing it, but hearing the unmistakable music of Sigur Ros pouring out of Keyspan Park on to the streets (and boardwalk) of Coney Island completely made up for it. It's what I remember most about the show.
Bjork and Sigur Ros just announced another show together, but this time it will be in their shared home-country of Iceland....

Someone from The Hook got in touch to let me know that they're not going out just like that. There will be one final party at the closing venue on October 27th, and strangely - it will be a Halloween party called "The Death of Astroland" - "a laying rest of the Coney Island we all once knew". So basically the final party at the Red Hook venue will be in honor of the closing of Astroland in Coney Island. I guess, why not? More details below....
I didn't end up seeing that much at Siren this year. I would have watched the bands all day, and I definitely wanted to see Black Lips, but I got there to late. Ends up the only artist I saw from start to finish was M.I.A. I would have watched all of Voxtrot, but it was impossible to see even one song of them since they ended up playing at the exact same time as M.I.A. I saw most of Matt & Kim, and I went back and forth from New York Dolls to Cursive twice. I wasn't 100% in the mood to watch either of them. Anyway, M.I.A. made my day....

Coney Island fireworks on the beach, 2006
I was gonna see Fujiya & Miyagi at the Seaport and what not on Friday night, but last minute I felt the need to get away - and, so I escaped to Coney Island in time to catch the ridiculously awesome, weekly fireworks they shoot off from the beach. If you haven't been to Coney Island on a Summer Friday night, and sat on the beach - both near the ocean and within a few yards of where they shoot the fireworks off, then I highly recommend you go check it out. It made the fourth-of-july-fireworks still fresh in my memory seem absolutely boring. The show starts every Friday at 9:30 pm, and ends around 10:00. The fireworks are serious too - it's not a cheap display. They are loud, big, go on for a while, and are in your face. Go before it's too late.

Experience Hippiefest, the musical flashback celebrating the bands that defined music's most influential decade: the '60s. The second annual Hippiefest marks the fortieth anniversary of the Summer of Love – an era of liberation, experimentation, long hair and flower power – with impresarios The Turtles, Felix Cavaliere's Rascals, The Zombies, Mountain, Mitch Ryder, Badfinger, Country Joe McDonald, Iron Butterfly, Denny Laine and Melanie.
Tour creator Toby Ludwig explains, "This festival is for people who weren't around in the '60s and '70s or were and just can't seem to remember. Bring your parents, your grandparents and your kids. Come be a Hippie for a day!"
Hippiefest is a tour that hits the free "Seaside Summer Concert Series" in Coney Island on July 26th.
@ Asser Levy/Seaside Park, Brooklyn, NYC in 2007 - FREE
July 12 - Tommy James & The Shondells, Jay Black, Johnny Maestro
July 19 - Billy Ocean & Air Supply
July 26 - Hippiefest
Aug 02 - mystery night
Aug 09 - The B-52's w/ Patty Smyth (an annual tradition?)
Aug 16 - mystery night
Aug 23 - Salsa by the Sea w/ TBA
So will it be Daft Punk, Beastie Boys, The Hold Steady, The Black Crowes OR THE B-52's? Actually, it should be noted that the B-52's and Daft Punk are both in Coney Island. The other free concert in Coney Island is on July 21. And then there's the Rockabilly Festival in August.

A domain name question
Collin1000 replied to Arianna's topic in General Chit ChatIt's a grey area, really. If you made a site like googal.com - Google would sue you (and most likely win) for infringing on their name. Usually, domain/trademark disputes come down to the question "Does it confuse the consumer or harm the brand image?" So, something like that - you would likely get in trouble. However, if there's some tiny little website that isn't really that big, or it's a parking page, I doubt they would have the legal guns to sue you. It's your call, but it's generally a bad idea to use a different site name like that. Why not just think of your own domain?

As much of the far-left mainstream media continues to panic over Mr. Obama's abject failure of a first debate, they deliberately avoid doing their jobs and reporting the real reason for his totally expected performance.
Said one Obama-fawning editor from The Atlantic magazine, "…The president appeared snippy, his eyes flashing angrily during those infrequent moments when he looked at his opponent, his lips pursed and upturned when he looked down…There was, in the expression, a mixture of annoyance, impatience, and dislike"
The fact is that Mr. Obama was "snippy." His expression did have a "mixture of annoyance, impatience, and dislike."
Why? Because in Barack Obama, we have a man who has basically not had to earn anything since about the age of nineteen. At about that time, he was inserted into the protective liberal bubble of political correctness and has had most things handed to him ever since.
Want to get into Columbia and Harvard in spite of suspect grades? Sure. Want to become a loosely defined "community organizer?" Sure. Want to become a state legislator so you can vote "present" most of the time to protect future political prospects? Sure. Want to be the keynote speaker at the 2004 Democrat convention for reasons other than your total lack of experience? Sure. Want to become a United States Senator with no real experience and then spend almost the entire time in the senate running for President? Sure. Want to have the mainstream media line up behind you in the primary season and attack Hillary Clinton because you are the more liberal of the two and the "transformational" candidate? Sure. Want to have that same media elevate you to Messiah status and hold you accountable for nothing as they never question your missteps, misstatements, mistakes or even unlimited golf outings? Sure.
Knowing that gilded history, it's quite easy to see why Mr. Obama would come across as snippy, annoyed, impatient and even angry. How dare Mitt Romney, Jim Lehrer or even the American people ask him to prove himself or actually earn anything. That's simply not the way it has ever worked in the pampered and privileged world of Barack Obama. No, in that fairy-tale world, certain people are handed degrees, jobs, and titles. There is no "earning" involved. Only the little people have to earn or learn.
In many ways, Mr. Obama is the poster child for the young unchallenged and unproven wimps being created by the liberal nanny-state. Political correctness now orders that there are unlimited strikes in T-ball. No one can keep score. That everyone gets a trophy. That no one can be disciplined, called any names, or be held accountable for errors. Ever.

I'm looking for a bike for long day rides. I never thought I'd buy a carbon bike or a performance oriented bike, but recently rode a Madone 6.2 WSD and am reconsidering. Before I plunk down the [big] money, though, I'm wondering what other bikes I should ride to compare it to.
What I liked: It fit my body and was comfortable (except for the saddle, which I can change). I got on it and immediately did the third longest ride in my life (75 miles), and the only part of my body that hurt the next day was my butt. My knees didn't hurt, my neck didn't hurt, my hands and elbows didn't hurt. The bars were not too low. I could ride in the drops. The handlebars felt narrow at first -- and then they didn't feel narrow at all. The brakes felt secure in spite of my small, weak hands. It felt lively. I didn't have a computer on a rental bike, but I'm told I was going faster than I usually do. Even moderately rough pavement felt comfortable. It felt like I was wearing clothes and flying, not like I was lugging a bike with me, a perfect symbiosis of bike and woman.
So now I want to upgrade, and I'm wondering what other bike models I should look at that might give me that same feeling -- or should I just buy the Madone 5.2 or 6.2? Let's say the Madone 6.2 is the absolute upper limit on price. I rode a 5.2 a few miles, and it felt just as good. Is there a steel or titanium bike that might give me some of the same feel? I'm not going to spend this kind of money on a bike without doing a substantial test-ride, so it has to be a model I am likely to find in a store. I am willing to travel to test-ride.
I'm buying this bike to do 50-100 mile day rides at a sedate pace in hilly country (13-17 mph or so on the flats depending on how far I'm going, much slower (3-6 mph) on hills over 100 feet or so) mostly solo rides or rides with 1 friend. I'm a woman, 50+, fat, and short, with long legs, short torso, short arms, and very short hands. My current bike is a 50 cm Surly Long Haul Trucker that is a little too big, even with a grotesquely short stem.
Thanks for any advice.

When 310 doctors at 22 U.S. healthcare facilities were asked to anonymously confess the diagnostic errors they made or witnessed, the two most frequently listed conditions involved pulmonary embolism and adverse drug reactions, including overdoses and poisoning. Lung cancer diagnostic mistakes ranked a close third, followed by colorectal cancer, acute coronary syndrome, breast cancer, and stroke.
The doctors failed to: order tests, report the results to their patients or follow-up when testing revealed abnormal findings.
As it turns out, lab and radiology testing errors, including test ordering, test performance, and clinician processing, accounted for 44% of the missed diagnoses, which was the greatest share. Those surveyed included descriptions of 583 diagnostic errors by primary care and specialist physicians.
Those are some conclusions from a report by Gordon Schiff, MD, associate director at the Center for Patient Safety Research and Practice at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and colleagues at five other institutions. The authors describe the survey as one of "the largest reported case series of diagnostic errors to date and affords valuable insights into the types of errors that physicians are committing and witnessing." It was published in the Nov. 9 Archives of Internal Medicine, and received funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Additionally, according to a May 2008 American Journal of Medicine article titled Overconfidence as a Cause of Diagnostic Error in Medicine, errors in diagnosis constitute as many as 5% of errors in perceptual specialties and 10% to 15% of errors in other fields. Often these errors are made because of a thinking failure, said Pat Croskerry, MD, PhD. Croskerry and Schiff spoke on an Institute for Healthcare Improvement's WIHI program last week.
"This doesn't ever seem to be a feature of someone not trying hard enough," said Croskerry, professor in emergency medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "Historically, there has been a lot of confidence placed in physicians and their thinking abilities."
In the field of cognitive psychology there's been a large focus on evaluating thinking failures. It's a short step to apply that to medicine, which is in large part a thinking business, said Croskerry.
However, diagnosis errors are both cognitive- and systems-based. "These two worlds needed to come together, rather than being separate silos," said Schiff of trying to classify a diagnosis error as either a cognitive or a system error.
Causes of diagnosis error
While the notion of overconfident, arrogant physicians being the cause of diagnosis error is not wholly wrong, those qualities alone are certainly not the reason that misdiagnoses are made, said Schiff. Other factors include spotty follow-up, time pressure, failure of physicians to share their uncertainties, malpractice fears, defensiveness, and inadequate feedback.
Schiff likened this last factor to the lawn sprinkler system that goes on automatically, regardless of whether it has rained that day. Instead of acting in a closed-loop system that provides feedback about whether diagnoses were right or wrong, often physicians work in an environment that does not allow for this follow-up or does not attempt to capture this feedback.
"What comes across as arrogance and carelessness is often a lot of constraints that physicians are working under," said Schiff.

Hi everyone,
I am new here. Here is my brief story. I would like some advice and encouragement from others. I have been TTC over a year now. I went on clomid in December 2012 started at 50mg. in Feb, doctor increased it to 100mg with no luck. In March, took 100 mg of clomid, metformin, dextro (can't spell the other drug), and I had the trigger shot on 4/12/13. I am also taking a protegerone everyday, and the doctor asked me to POAS on 4/24/13 since it would be on Cycle day #28, but it was a BFN.
Should I be worried that I am out? Should I continue testing? I plan to test tomorrow morning. I have been getting light cramps, and was nauseating at odd periods of the day. Does anyone have any advice for me? I am so confused and sad right now.

How what is the thinnest that this slicer can slice deli meats, such as bresaola?
Chef'sChoice Professional VariTilt Electric Food Slicer
Best Answer: I am able to see my fingers through my bresaola slices. The slices appear to be about 1/16". I really appreciate the ease of use with this slicer and the fact that I can choose the thickness I want. The learning curve is minimal. Be sure to have consistent strong pressure on the Food Pusher. I purchased a Fine Edge Blade for my slicer but so far have not needed to use it.
