Oh, to be sitting at this table. Paco de Lucia is simply amazing.
Isn't Jesse Saunders playing in town this weekend.
Does anyone here know what that means? The BMC is getting some great acts this weekend. Pretend like you care!
This video is really old! Sorry, I just don't like classical music.
that video is ok, but I prefer this performance by the Great One.
Yeah, and the trio performances with him, John McLaughlin, and Al Di Meola were even more incredible. Also very influential on more than a few 80s metal guitarists.
Of course, I've never had them sitting in my living room... yet!
Wow! Thanks for digging that nugget up. A true master of the fretboard.

Perhaps the most shocking development so far this offseason was the failure to retain the services of Russell Martin. Martin hasn't exactly put our warm memories of Jorge Posada's bat to sleep, but he gave the Yankees two respectable seasons behind the dish. That's why it was surprising when the Pirates out bid the Yankees for his services. Seldom do the Bombers let their man walk. Martin wasn't going to be a Yankee for a decade, but it was worth it to keep him around for another year.
There's no use crying over spilled milk. Martin is gone. Fortunately the Yankees are deepest in their farm system at Catcher. That's part of why the team was comfortable letting Jesus Montero go in trade. Gary Sanchez is just 20 years old, and his bat arguably has as much promise as Montero's. But Sanchez is a few seasons away. Is 2013 the season of Austin Romine?
Romine has never had the same hype as Sanchez or Montero because he's never shown the same promise with the stick. But of the three he's always shown the most raw potential as a backstop. He'll be just 24 years old next season and he may be just the ticket on a Yankee team looking to cut costs. Can he handle the responsibility?
Romine didn't show the Yankees much in 2011 when he got his first taste of the show. His batting line was just .158/.200/.158, which is as bad as it gets. But Romine has shown promise in the past. He's done his best work in AA, but in 17 games in AAA last season he managed an 89 wRC+. He could be on the cusp of breaking out, or he could be in the process of never panning out. The only way to tell will be if the Yankees give him a shot. My gut says that Austin will be under the microscope in spring training. Failing that, there's always Francisco Cervelli.

Controversial endings put damper on EliteXC's CBS debutJune 1, 2008
By Denny Burkholder
CBSSports.com Staff Writer
It was a fight promoter's worst nightmare.
In the most important event of EliteXC's existence, the story of Saturday's debut broadcast on CBS was not that Kimbo Slice smashed his opponent in under two minutes -- he didn't. It wasn't even who walked out with a victory in the show's only title match -- nobody did. Neither champion nor challenger earned the W.
The story of Saturday Night Fights was quick stoppages. And while that's hardly the fault of the fighters or the promoter, it's still no way to send the fans home happy. That's not EliteXC's fault, but it's still their problem.
Kimbo Slice came into his main event fight with James Thompson telling reporters that he still considers himself a baby in the sport, with plenty left to learn despite his off-the-charts hype. He proved his humble talk correct by struggling to keep up with Thompson on the ground and needing until Round 3 to put away "Colossus" despite rendering him wobbly several times.
Slice gets to test his ground game vs. Thompson. (AP) Slice (3-0 overall, 3-0 EliteXC) rushed toward Thompson at the start of the first round, neutralizing Thompson's trademark gong-and-dash strategy. Slice landed some solid strikes on Thompson early, but didn't overwhelm him the way he has each of his past opponents. Thompson (14-9, 0-2 EliteXC) even appeared on the verge of being knocked out at times, but survived either by forcing a clinch, attempting a takedown, or through Slice's own failure to capitalize when Thompson was vulnerable.
Thompson and Slice wound up on the ground numerous times. Slice showed some ability to escape at first, but later found himself eating soft punches on the ground and not being able to answer the strikes or better his position. Slice appeared to tire out from the constant grappling. Finally, in the third round, he nailed Thompson with a right that burst his cauliflower ear and caused blood to pour from Thompson's head instantly. A few strikes later, the fight was waved off, and Slice awarded the victory.
Thompson was so frustrated with the stoppage that he shoved the ref.
In stark contrast to the raucous ovation Slice received in Miami in February after knocking out Tank Abbott, there were audible boos from the audience after this win.
"I know I busted his ear," an exhausted Slice said after the fight. "The ref did a good job, because I was going to aim for it again."
Commenting on his struggle to put up a fight from the ground, Slice reiterated that he still has a lot to learn.
"I didn't underestimate him, but I didn't know he was going to be that strong on the ground."
The co-main event title fight pitting middleweight champion "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler against Scott Smith was shaping up to be a classic until an accidental finger to the eye -- and a cautious ringside doctor -- resulted in an anticlimactic early stoppage, and neither man awarded the victory.
Lawler rocked Smith near the end of the first round and left Smith with .....see link for more.

Director John Hillcoat's (The Road) new period crime movie, Lawless, is steeped in outlaw American history. The screenplay — written by Nick Cave (The Proposition), who also scored the movie — is based on Matt Bondurant's novel The Wettest County in the World, which he wrote after researching his own family's background as bootleggers in rural Virginia during the Great Depression. But, even though the bootlegging Bondurant brothers — Jack (Shia LaBeouf), Forrest (Tom Hardy) and Howard (Jason Clarke) — and their defiance of Prohibition are the subject of the movie, Guy Pearce gives such a commanding performance in the new trailer that Lawless should almost be about Charles Rakes, Chicago law dog.
Lawless also stars Academy Award-winner Gary Oldman as the primary antogonist, the gangster Floyd Banner. Mia Wasikowska Jessica Chastain and Dane DeHaan also star.

No. 480: "Up a Laser River"
Randy's Wrap-Up
Perhaps the movie that best invokes Istanbul is the 1957 Istanbul. Errol Flynn plays diamond-smuggler James Brennan, Cornell Borchers has the dual role of Stephanie Bauer/Karen Fielding (although it's not really a dual role because they turn out to be the same person—as do so many of us), Nat King Cole is Danny Rice (he sings "When I Fall in Love," as do too many of us who can't really carry a tune), Jan Arvan is Kazim, Nico Minardos is Ali, Leonard Maltin is unimpressed. He called it a "dull drama of flyer Flynn returning to Istanbul, discovering his ladylove (whom he believed had perished in a fire) to be alive and an amnesiac." I suppose Maltin would prefer her to be dead and an amnesiac. And quite right, too. A scary dead amnesiac. Or maybe, judging by the credits—as I said, I've not actually seen this thing—she's two dead amnesiacs, Stephanie and Karen. I'll bet—and I'm just guessing here—she's a good zombie amnesiac and a bad zombie amnesiac. In a very short skirt. Or two. Isn't Cornell a man's name? Or a university's?
What really bugs Maltin is that Istanbul is a remake of Singapore, a 1947 movie with Fred MacMurray as Matt Gordon, Ava Gardner as Linda Gordon Van Leyden, nobody singing nothing, and Curt Conway as Pepe. Maltin calls it an "alluring drama of trader/pearl smuggler MacMurray returning to Singapore after a five-year absence, recalling his previous romantic relationship with Gardner. He thinks she was killed during a Japanese bombing attack, but she really was a victim of amnesia." Well, you see the problem: The Japanese never bombed Istanbul. Bastards! And yet, there is something impressive in the translation process of the remake. Pearls are transformed into diamonds (no doubt from one of the nearby Turkish diamond mines); that's got to be an improvement. Fred MacMurray becomes Errol Flynn; break even, I'd say. Ava Gardner becomes Cornell Borchers; that's a big, big loss. (Cornell Borchers?) But Nat King Cole is added, a definite gain. Pepe becomes either Ali or Kazim: Who knows? And we've still got the amnesia business and, for all I know, sexpot zombies in very short skirts.
If I were a savvy movie producer, I'd remake it yet again as Bangkok or Bombay and change the diamonds into computer chips or some damn thing and have maybe 50 zombie amnesiacs in bikinis. And if I were a really savvy movie producer, I'd call up that Julia Roberts and ask her out on a date. She's very attractive.
Subterranean Answer
"I'll be happy to go on this subway."
Mr. Canturk, 40, just a regular guy enjoying a subway opening with thousands of his fellow Istanbul citizens, is eager to ride the new line, perhaps the world's most modern. Hopes are high that it will help relieve traffic congestion in this city of 12 million.
Istanbul's first subway used horse-drawn wagons to haul people 600 yards up a hill from the Golden Horn to the Beyoglu district. It has long since been electrified, and those first horses are dead—come on; it was 125 years ago—and it still carries about 4 million passengers a year. When it opened, some devout Muslims refused to use it because of religious strictures on going underground before death.
Work has already begun on a subway link to Ataturk airport on the city's outskirts. New Yorkers hope that within 125 years, they too will have a subway connection to their international airport.
Steve Hellerman's Khartoum Follow-Up
Hey, you forgot to mention that they made a movie circa 1966 called Khartoum in which Gordon was played by Charlton Heston (without a British accent, but how believable would that be anyway?). In the end he gets a big spear in his gut, proving that guns don't kill people, etc.

When a girl is giving you head, right before you cum you scream in a really high pitched moaning noises to force her to expel cum out of her nose. It is a sight to behold.
A girl was giving me head, so i screamed like a girl when i came and gave her a FROSTY!

When a large, ribbed, and preferably green straw is inserted into the anus by a partner. The partner the proceeds to suck upon the straw. There is also the option of attempting the dangerous: Frosty, Biggie Size where the partner with the straw in their anus releases gas at the same time that the other partner begins to breath through the straw.
Man I just got a frosty from some random guy in that truck stop bathroom.... Weird.

It's a sex act, entailing the female to preform fellatio on her partner, and just before climax an ice cube is inserted in his anus, yielding complex and intersting results.
Dude, that girl last night totally gave me a frosty!
No, way! That bitch!
Don't worry, I retalliated with the pirate.

Iced-out bitches. Typical rich-bitch chicks with enough ice (I mean blingin!) to freeze out any average playa. Close relative to the gold digger (sometimes one and the same), frostys are known for their extreme sexiness and shallow personalities. As they are not the brightest of female species, they have also been refered to as frosted flakes (best to eat right out of the box!). Frosty bitches can be found at any trendy local shopping center, tanning salon, or nightclub baller spot. WARNING: High Maintenance. May cause extreme wallet damage.
Yo, this frosty is fine, but, without tha ice, and the Gucci, and the beauty treatments, and the plastic surgery, she's just another drip.

A day later, Baltimore Dem. resigns from tea party
Del. Curt Anderson, leader of the all-Democrat Baltimore delegation, abruptly resigned from the new House tea party caucus this morning, a day after he made news by becoming the vice chairman of the otherwise Republican group.
Fellow city delegates lashed out at Anderson in an emergency delegation meeting this morning, telling him he had "embarrassed" and "hurt" them. Anderson will remain chairman of the delegation, though several colleagues warned they wanted him out in the long run.
Anderson said he was stunned by the reaction -- from constituents and fellow lawmakers alike -- to his short-lived time in the tea party, a caucus he said he joined because of a shared interest with its conservative members in reducing the size of government and avoiding taxes.
"It's almost like I joined the Ku Klux Klan," he said. He said he told tea party chairman Del. Mike Smigiel, an Eastern Shore Republican, this morning that he was resigning.
Senior members of the delegation said they felt that Anderson was "being naive" about the motives of the tea party caucus. The caucus, they said, cannot be disentangled from the well-funded national tea party movement.
"It is a subset of the Republican party," said Del. Maggie McIntosh. "It's highly organized. We should take them seriously."
Del. Cheryl Glenn called the tea party "the anti-Christ to the Democratic party." She said she could not believe Anderson had wanted to be affiliated with them because, in her view, they are targeting President Barack Obama for defeat in 2012; Anderson campaigned hard for the president's first election.
"You have to be more careful," she told Anderson. "You can't violate the philosophy of the Democratic party."
After about half a dozen delegates had taken a turn chastising Anderson, the delegation meeting adjourned. Anderson said he felt appropriately admonished.
"The president wants us to reach across party lines," he said. "Maybe I reached too far."

Short stuff: Health roundupRecently, parents of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder may have been unnerved to hear media reports that drugs used to treat the disorder may cause psychotic symptoms in some children.
The journal "Pediatrics" published a study that found some children medicated for ADHD experience hallucinations such as worms or insects crawling on them. Most worrisome was that some children who had no prior risk factors for psychosis can develop drug-related symptoms.
Technically, however, this was old news: The study was presented to the Food and Drug Administration in 2006.
But FDA spokeswoman Sandy Walsh says the article provides a reminder for physicians. In particular, she says, physicians need to counsel parents about possible adverse effects before starting drug therapy and be quick to stop drug treatment should hallucinations or other problems occur.

They are lovely, but I am a bit disappointed they are not the light minty green color as pictured. The 4mm Chrysolite is the exact same color as the 6mm Peridot, for reasons I can't figure out O.O It still is a beautiful color, I just was wanting a color of mint ice cream (these are more green). Other than that, they are great. They are small, but I didn't think enough about the 4mm size they are before purchasing enough.

What should I do when my son starts to throw fits in public?
There have been times when we are in public my son will scream at the top of his lungs or lay flat on the ground and wont get up. Everybody stares and I feel like I'm being judged. I feel alone on this and makes me want to go hide in a corner and cry. Do all toddlers act like this? How am I suppose to handle the situation. I try to not yell at him. I always try to talk with a calm voice and say "stop acting like that" or "No". I of course do leave but I try to check out first because he only does this at the end of shopping but at restaraunts he cant ever sit still and going out is always unpleasant for me. I'm in a hotel for 3wks with him and sometimes its hard to get him to listen or when he lays flat on the floor in the hallway and wont get up what should I do? Should I go pick him up? I have tried to walk away and hope he will follow but that doesnt seem to work at the hotel but it worked at home. I dont want to give him attention when he acts like that so what do I do?

If possible, ignore him until he stops screaming. People are looking because it's hard not to look when something attracts your attention, but most aren't judging (and to heck with those who are). Most people are thinking about how they hate it when their own kids do or have done that and that's why they're cringing. Sometimes you can't let a tantrum carry on (for example, at a library or a hotel or a hospital), but if you can, let him learn that you can outlast him. If you can't let him carry on, take him somewhere he can continue his tantrum (like the car) and wait him out. Tantrums are NOT the product of bad parenting. Tantrums are NORMAL behavior from little people whose brains are still not well developed enough to handle their own emotions. Do NOT be embarassed.posted 08/19/2013 by gorillamama27

A major disaster has hit the Sadiri homeworld caused by an unprovoked attack by their enemies leaving the survivors reeling and without any kind of home. Delarua is saddled with the task of helping Dllenahkh, a Sadiri diplomat trying to find compatible people with whom the Sadiri can rebuild their lives. You would think that this book would be another bummer post-apocalyptic book but it's not. Narrated by Delaura who is impulsive, irreverent, and whip smart, you journey around Cygnus Beta with a team of scientists studying the various people and cultures. The examination of social structures and how one planet came to be home to so many different cultures really give this book a richness that is wonderful to behold. Lord's storytelling lush, the pacing is really quite lovely, and her characters are interesting and nuanced.

Shapeshifter Provides Post for 'Arrested Development'
Studio City, CA – Producers of the revived television series Arrested Development, which simultaneously debuted 15 new episodes on Netflix on Sunday, May 26, turned to Shapeshifter to provide post production services. Shapeshifter's client for this project was Dakota Pictures.
For new episodes of Arrested Development, Shapeshifter provided comprehensive finishing services, including final conforming, final color correction, and visual effects.
"Shapeshifter's contributions to this show were significant," said Troy Miller, Executive Producer/Director (with Creator Mitch Hurwitz) of Arrested Development. "They are virtually unsurpassed in their ability to make quality changes quickly and efficiently. Their artistry and technical finesse added a level of quality that this genre rarely has. I couldn't be more pleased with Russo and his team."
"During the editing of Arrested Development, we took full advantage of the 4K image captured in the field by our RED Epic cameras," adds Dakota Pictures' Post Supervisor Lincoln Sevier. "Show creator Mitch Hurwitz would sometimes ask for shots to be blown up as much as 300 percent. Because of this, it was important that we online the episodes using the original RED media instead of a 1920x1080 conversion. I knew the Da Vinci Resolve had this ability, but needed a skilled colorist and facility that were ready to take on a project the size of Arrested Development. I reached out to Black Magic, owners of the Da Vinci Resolve software, who put me in touch with Colorist Randy Coonfield at Shapeshifter. He and his company were well versed in using a roundtrip workflow to color and online RED media. We were in very good hands with Shapeshifter -- they catered to all of our needs."
"Dakota Pictures brought season 4 of Arrested Development to us because they knew the work would be extensive," says Shapeshifter co-founder and president Russo Anastasio. "This new project highlights our capacity to handle large, scripted episodic series, in addition to what we're already best known for, reality programming and on-air promos. We'd like the industry to know that we thrive on multi-episodic challenges, and we are currently seeking similar projects for the near future."
"Netflix's delivery deadline is unique in the industry in that they'll accept an entire season all at once, instead of the typical one-episode-per-week like traditional networks," Anastasio adds. "This, coupled with the fact that episodes of Arrested Development Season 4 are tied together with insider gags and creative threads, meant that things needed to remain fluid till the last minute. I'm proud that Shapeshifter was able to deliver this kind of flexibility to Dakota Pictures, enabling them to make creative changes throughout every stage of the process. With a regular show, most traditional post houses wouldn't touch an episode until it was 'locked.'"
The key capabilities Shapeshifter employed to achieve the work necessary for the Arrested Development project included the company's ability to combine RAW camera footage in its native 4K resolution, with other, "traditional HD" sources. These sources are shared facility-wide via a hi-speed SAN network, accessed by Shapeshifter's Blackmagic Resolve, Avid Symphony, and VFX workstations. This powerful, advanced workflow, coupled with proprietary implementation enables Shapeshifter to integrate a change made by one system to automatically propagate to all other systems.
On Sunday, May 26th Netflix will simultaneously release 15 new episodes of the willfully absurd television sitcom Arrested Development which offered viewers a look into the lives of the fictitious Bluth family –a formerly wealthy and habitually dysfunctional group of self-centered lunatics. The show, from creator Mitchell Hurwitz, made its debut on FOX TV in 2003, and received widespread critical acclaim, including six Emmy Awards and one Golden Globe Award, and attracted a cult following. In 2007, TIME Magazine listed it as among the "100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME." ''
Arrested Development ran for three seasons before its cancellation by the FOX network in 2006. The Netflix series, which represents the show's fourth season, once again stars cast members Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, Tony Hale, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter.

I recently set up a new tank, a 14 gal, and I started cycling w/ my betta in it just 2 days ago. I used aquasafe for the conditioner, and this green liquid that I got "bettazing" from an online store... forgot where exactly, but its from a reliable store and the lady knows her stuff and I've used it for 10 months now so I know its good. I changed 20% of the water today the 3rd day since I started cycling, and ammonia level is rising. I know that its supposed to, but what kind i do specifically to maintain a safe level for my betta, who my family and i love and adore, and for him to be as least stressed as possible.
He just recently moved from a 2 gal tank, which my mom broke while changing his water, and so, thankfully, we put him in a 14 gal that I bought months ago.
Here are my questions and concerns, any help will be GREATLY appreciated:
From my research on this forum, I heard that with a fish, the cycling water should be replaced 20% everyday, is this true?
The ammonia level rises, and then the nitrate, then nitrite. I bought a tester kit online for sale ( API master kit) and am waiting for it, in the meantime, I bought a tester strip thing that you place in the tank and right now its between safe (0 ppm) and caution (0.02ppm), what must I do to keep it safe for my betta fish?
Also, from here on out, I know that I should be careful of the water parameters, so I do not give him alot of food, and replace his water 20% (?) then once the cycling period is over... how would i know if it is over?
Also, I would like him to have a friend who is just as hardy as he is... who can befriend him with, someone just as hardy and easy to take care of who will be okay for him to be in the same tank with?
Thanks for your help and reading this post!
I'm new to all this and although this forum has helped me much, I just want to make sure everything is safe for my betta :)
It's good you have an API liquid test kit on the way as these are more accurate than the test strips. Test your water often for ammonia and nitrites and do frequent water changes to keep the levels bearable for your fish.

(Originally published at An A-Blog for A-Rod. Stats have been updated to include last night's game)
Jacoby Ellsbury went 2-4 last night,
the 1 hit being the eventual game-winning one, and in the process extended his current hitting streak to 15 games. To my knowledge, that's the longest hitting streak of the season for the Yankees and it's been a very reassuring stretch for Ellsbury after a lackluster month of May. He's racked up 23 hits in 60 at-bats over the last 15 games (.383 BA), boosting his slash line back up to .290/.356/.408 from the season-low level of .258/.330/.379 before the start of the streak. After looking like he had something wrong with his swing for all of last month, Ellsbury now looks like he's back to where he was at the start of the year and back to being the player the Yanks hoped they were getting.
There's Ellsbury's BIP plot over the course of the streak, and you'll notice that it's much more balanced than what we saw in May. He's hitting the ball to all fields, getting hits to all fields, and has a much more balanced distribution of ground balls, flyballs, and line drives. Ellsbury has a 41.2% LD rate so far this month, with grounders coming in slightly higher than flyballs behind that. His .455 BABIP is unsustainable but it's not lucky. Ellsbury has been squaring up the ball and hitting it with authority all over the park for the last 2+ weeks and the results he's had in that time span have been well-earned.
They've also been wisely-earned. While he wasn't expanding his strike zone in May, Ellsbury was striking out more than usual, at an almost 20% clip. So far in June he's back down around his average of 15% and over the 15-game hitting streak he's struck out 9 times while drawing 6 walks.
It hasn't led to any kind of sustained team-wide resurgence, but Ellsbury getting back on track at the top of the order is a step in the right direction. He's fixed whatever his problems in May were, he's smoking the ball all over the yard, and helping to try and pull his team out of their offensive malaise. Sooner or later somebody has to catch on and join his hot streak.

To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world but content with one's own thoughts and company.
Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. One Man's Wilderness is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company. From Proenneke's journals, and with first-hand knowledge of his subject and the setting, Sam Keith has woven a tribute to a man who carved his masterpiece out of the beyond.
©1999 Alaska Northwest Books (P)2010 Tantor
"Though few will follow Proenneke's lead, his story can be quite inspiring." (Library Journal)
Loving the time saving, knowledge gaining audiobook. There's nothing like a good listen. Currently enjoying genres of survival/adventure, economics, politics, history and religion.
There's little to say, listen for yourself, probably the most enjoyable book I have listened to. The book is well written, the story brilliant, and the narration excellent.
"Favorite listen. Gifted it to a friend to enjoy!"
My husband and I loved this one so much we gifted it to our friends to enjoy. Listening was like going on a retreat!
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Thank you Richard Proenneke"
This was offered as a bonus buy book for me... so glad I gave it a try. In 1998 at age 50 Richard Proenneke retired to the solitude of Twin Lakes in Alaska. This book follows his first 18 months living there alone... as he builds his $40 cabin. His work ethic, creativity and true love of nature is revealed in the journal entries. I love his voice, descriptions and point of view. There is no plot... just daily accomplishments, interactions with the animals and joy in a handful of blueberries or pot of beans. So if you are looking for an amazing Alaskan adventure book this isn't it... if you truly love nature and are content to let the rabbits eat the pea plants in your garden because they were here first. You will love it!. He lived in the cabin for 30 years and it is now a Park Service historic monument... his nature films have been combined to make two PBS specials. I loved the pictures of his cabin I found on the internet. My only complaint was - it's way too short, I wanted more and first introduction chapter is kinda boring... his voice and journal starts in chapter 2.
A book can get you out of your house, your town, even out of the country. I'm an avid reader believing reviews help find the good ones.
"Wonderful Alaskan Read!"
A couple years ago I watched a PBS documentary on Richard Proenneke and was blown away by his story. He followed his dream by giving it all up to live in the Alaskan Bush.
The book is written as a journal, yet very captivating. I enjoyed his outlook on nature and found it interesting how he built his cabin with hand tools. He was a true adventurer.
I fell in love with this man as well as his book, story and lifestyle. I know I will revisited this book many times in years to come. A true classic, must read!
"Get it. Listen to it."
You won't regret it. If you want to be transported to Alaska and live vicariously through one man's gratifying story of carving a life in the bush, get this book.
"a great story"
this is one of those audible books that a person could sit and listen to over and over again. need I day more than thank you?
"Makes you want to build your own cabin"
I enjoyed this story very much. I love to listen to stories about people carving their own place in nature and their adventures, successes, and problems. The story made me want to move to Alaska and try my own hand at building a cabin... until I remembered I'm more a car-camping type of person. I have two criticisms: 1. I didn't love the narrator, but he was okay, it's not something that detracted from my enjoyment, I just think there could be someone better. 2. I'd like to see ALL Audible books that have photo sections come with a pdf of the photos the way Bossypants and some others do. It's frustrating to know there are photos out there, but have to search on the web and hope you're finding the right ones.
"Wonderful story, Excellent Narration"
Such a great story. The narrator was a perfect fit. Definitely makes you feel like you are right
there with him.
"Best wilderness book."
This absolutely can't be beat. A retired Navy man sets out to build a cabin by hand in Alaska. After this is accomplished, he lives in that location for the next 30 years. His journal entries describe that experience. I've listened to, and read this book over 10 times. its that good. Makes you feel like you are there, living this dream with him. This has it all, bear sitings, wilderness cooking, fishing, hunting, respect for wild things and places, carpentry and so on. Read this, you won't be disappointed.
"Transported to Alaska"
I'd most definitely recommend this audiobook - and I have. This is a diary-style story that had me captivated from the start. The story is simple and back-to-nature. It tells of building, making and creating a home in the Alaskan wilderness - that's something few of us have the skills to do nor the opportunity. In our world of mostly rush-rush-rush and internet and tv and non-stop communication, this story is about a place and time where nature sets the pace. I found the content to be interesting, informative and, mostly, peaceful.
From listening to accounts of number of logs chopped to tools being sharpened, berries picked, wolves and caribou and sheep spotted to thickness of the ice as winter set in and groceries delivered by his friend in the plane... Writing this review, these things seem so boring and mundane but it so isn't. The narration is spot-on and the voice transported me to Alaska. I felt involved in the Richard Proenneke's daily tasks of building his cabin, paddling on the lake, changing seasons, watching the wildlife and trekking around the area. If you're into the outdoors, nature, wilderness and living off the land - you'll enjoy this story.
Norman's voice, tone and accent so suited the author that, for me, he became Richard Proenneke. Norman beautifully brought through Richard's feelings of achievement and self satisfaction with tasks completed as well as wonder for the environment, sensitivity and fascination for the wildlife and the pleasure and appreciation of having had this opportunity to spend more than a year living in the Alaskan wilds.
"Wonderful Book"
A quiet simple story about an extraordinary man. Just a pleasant read and if you look for photos on google it all makes sense.

Ogden Nash
The Purist
I give you now Professor Twist,
A conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside,
One day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
"You mean," he said, "a crocodile."
The Tale of Custard the Dragon
Belinda lived in a little white house,
With a little black kitten and a little gray mouse,
And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon,
And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon.
Now the name of the little black kitten was Ink,
And the little gray mouse, she called her Blink,
And the little yellow dog was sharp as Mustard,
But the dragon was a coward, and she called him Custard.
Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth,
And spikes on top of him and scales underneath,
Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose,
And realio, trulio, daggers on his toes.
Belinda was as brave as a barrel full of bears,
And Ink and Blink chased lions down the stairs,
Mustard was as brave as a tiger in a rage,
But Custard cried for a nice safe cage.
Belinda tickled him, she tickled him unmerciful,
Ink, Blink and Mustard, they rudely called him Percival,
They all sat laughing in the little red wagon
At the realio, trulio, cowardly dragon.
Belinda giggled till she shook the house,
And Blink said Week!, which is giggling for a mouse,
Ink and Mustard rudely asked his age,
When Custard cried for a nice safe cage.
Suddenly, suddenly they heard a nasty sound,
And Mustard growled, and they all looked around.
Meowch! cried Ink, and Ooh! cried Belinda,
For there was a pirate, climbing in the winda.
Pistol in his left hand, pistol in his right,
And he held in his teeth a cutlass bright,
His beard was black, one leg was wood;
It was clear that the pirate meant no good.
Belinda paled, and she cried, Help! Help!
But Mustard fled with a terrified yelp,
Ink trickled down to the bottom of the household,
And little mouse Blink strategically mouseholed.
But up jumped Custard, snorting like an engine,
Clashed his tail like irons in a dungeon,
With a clatter and a clank and a jangling squirm
He went at the pirate like a robin at a worm.
The pirate gaped at Belinda's dragon,
And gulped some grog from his pocket flagon,
He fired two bullets but they didn't hit,
And Custard gobbled him, every bit.
Belinda embraced him, Mustard licked him,
No one mourned for his pirate victim
Ink and Blink in glee did gyrate
Around the dragon that ate the pyrate.
Belinda still lives in her little white house,
With her little black kitten and her little gray mouse,
And her little yellow dog and her little red wagon,
And her realio, trulio, little pet dragon.
Belinda is as brave as a barrel full of bears,
And Ink and Blink chase lions down the stairs,
Mustard is as brave as a tiger in a rage,
But Custard keeps crying for a nice safe cage.
The Octopus
Tell me, O Octopus, I begs
Is those things arms, or is they legs ?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I'd call me Us.
The Panther
The panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn't been peppered.
Should you behold a panther crouch,
Prepare to say Ouch.
Better yet, if called by a panther,
Don't anther.
I objurgate the centipede,
A bug we do not really need.
At sleepy-time he beats a path
Straight to the bedroom or the bath.
You always wallop where he's not,
Or, if he is, he makes a spot
The firefly's flame
Is something for which science has no name
I can think of nothing eerier
Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a
person's posteerier.
The ant has made himself illustrious
Through constant industry industrious.
So what?
Would you be calm and placid
If you were full of formic acid?
The Cow
The cow is of the bovine ilk;
One end is moo, the other, milk.
The Turtle
The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks
Which practically conceal its sex.
I think it clever of the turtle
In such a fix to be so fertile.
The Guppy
Whales have calves,
Cats have kittens,
Bears have cubs,
Bats have bittens,
Swans have cygnets,
Seals have puppies,
But guppies just
have little guppies.
The Ostrich
The ostrich roams the great Sahara.
Its mouth is wide, its neck is narra.
It has such long and lofty legs,
I'm glad it sits to lay its eggs.
The Shrimp
A shrimp who sought his lady shrimp
Could catch no glimpse
Not even a
At times, translucence
Is rather a nuisance.
The Wasp
The wasp and all his numerous family
I look upon as a major calamity.
He throws open his nest with prodigality,
But I distrust his waspitality.
The Llama
The one-l lama,
He's a priest.
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama.
The Eel
I don't mind eels
Except as meals
The Fly
God in his wisdom made the fly
And then forgot to tell us why
The Hippopotamus
Behold the hippopotamus!
We laugh at how he looks to us,
And yet in moments dank and grim,
I wonder how we look to him.
Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus!
We really look all right to us,
As you no doubt delight the eye
Of other hippopotami.
Ode to a Baby
A bit of talcum
Is always walcum.
My Dream
This is my dream,
It is my own dream,
I dreamt it.
I dreamt that my
hair was kempt.
Then I dreamt that my true love unkempt it.
The Sniffle
In spite of her sniffle
Isabel's chiffle.
Some girls with a sniffle
Would be weepy and tiffle;
They would look awful,
Like a rained-on waffle,
But Isabel's chiffle
In spite of her sniffle.
Her nose is more red
With a cold in her head,
But then, to be sure,
Her eyes are bluer.
Some girls with a snuffle,
Their tempers are uffle.
But when Isabel's snivelly
She's snivelly civilly,
And when she's snuffly
She's perfectly luffly.

A medical professor says North Carolina can't adequately monitor an inmate being put to death under its existing rules.
Doctor Philip Boysen is a professor of anesthesiology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.
He says there is --no-- sure way to know if a patient is suffering during a lethal injection under the state's written procedures.
Boysen testified before Administrative Law Judge Fred Morrison as defense attorneys for several death row inmates argued against the state's death penalty procedure.
The lawyers say the Council of State didn't follow proper procedure when it approved a new execution protocol in February.
The council is made up of Governor Mike Easley and nine statewide

text: 09 September 2008 Cadence launches hosted design service Setting up a leading edge semiconductor design flow is not a trivial business, neither is it cheap. According to Vishal Kapoor, Group Marketing Director, Solutions and Services Marketing, for Cadence Design Systems, for every $1 spent on buying EDA software, more than $1 is spent on inserting the tools into design flows, and running and managing them. "That cost was accepted at one time," he claimed, "but companies are now looking at costs more closely." Responding with a move that resurrects an idea of the early 2000s, Cadence is launching a hosted design service, targeted mainly at companies opening new locations and at start ups. Apart from the time taken to get an internet connection up and running, the Cadence design service is available within a day and is sold on three month blocks. Apart from providing the required software, Cadence says it will also develop a design methodology for the user. The service will be hosted on a secure global network which, Kapoor claims, will have a downtime of less than two hours a year. Despite the fact that designs will be hosted on remote servers, Kapoor says latency will be 'milliseconds'. "Users are looking for instant response and it will be the same experience as using a desktop," he insisted. However, the service is not being aimed at leading edge companies. "At the lower end, designs will be a few hundred thousand gates," he believed, "but, typically, they will be a few million gates and upwards and targeted at one or two nodes behind the leading edge."

There are some parks and playgrounds in New York City that are named, not for historical celebrities or nearby streets, but for a local resident, a person who became identified with the park simply through their efforts to make it a better place for the neighborhood. Russell Pedersen (1947-1968), once a frequent volunteer in the playground that now bears his name, was one such generous spirit.
As a young man, Pederson often assisted Parks staff in what was then known as the 83rd Street and Colonial Road Playground. His involvement in park maintenance and his organization of park activities continued until his graduation from the adjacent Fort Hamilton High School in June of 1964, when he joined the United States Army.

What to see in Seattle
Seattle Attractions
Seattle's skyline, with the prominent Space Needle, is one of
America's most recognisable cityscapes which hints at the eclectic
attractions below. The attractions in Seattle both celebrate and
preserve various roles in history, alternating from aviation and
shipbuilding industries, music epicentre and Native American and

Sightseeing Seattle's watery attributes can be enjoyed criss-crossing Puget Sound in state ferries (recently enjoying a spotlight from Grey's Anatomy) or from the lively waterfront shopping area Pikes Place Market.
Among the other highlights are especially great museums showcasing variously the history of flight, contemporary art, an ode to Rock 'n Roll at the Experience the Music Project's architectural wonder, and of course, the views from the Space Needle.

Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
Thank you, Roberto, for that kind introduction. It's a pleasure to be here with you this afternoon as you begin to celebrate your 170th year. B'nai Brith is not only the oldest continually operating Jewish service organization in the world, it is perhaps also one of the first leading human rights organizations as well.
I welcome the opportunity to speak here today. I have worked on human rights and religious freedom issues for many years, mostly outside of government. I've seen firsthand and have admired greatly the invaluable work that you do..
Sadly, more than a century-and-a-half after the founding of your organization, the scourge of anti-Semitism persists. And in some respects, it may be worsening.
President Obama and Secretary Clinton have committed this administration to confronting and combating anti-Semitism and other forms of religious, racial and ethnic intolerance and discrimination. As Secretary Clinton said when she recently spoke at the Holocaust Museum, and I'm quoting here, "We must remain vigilant against those deniers and against anti-Semitism, because when heads of state and religious leaders deny the Holocaust from their bully pulpits, we cannot let their lies go unanswered.
When we hear Holocaust glorification and public calls to, quote, "finish the job," we need to make clear that violence and bigotry will not be tolerated. And, yes," she said, "When criticism of Israeli government policies crosses over into demonization of Israel and Jews, we must push back."
The bureau I lead is responsible for translating that call to arms into action, by shaping and integrating U.S. polices to combat anti-Semitism around the world into vigorous American diplomacy. We also work to amplify and provide support for foreign individuals and groups who lead the fight to expose and challenge anti-Semitism in their own societies.
Over the last three years, we have been very fortunate to have Hannah Rosenthal lead the charge for us on these issues, as the Obama Administration's Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism.
Hannah has been here to speak to you the last two years and I am sure those of you who have seen her share my view that she is one of the most passionate, effective and articulate of advocates. The child of Holocaust survivors, she has travelled around the world urging governments to address anti-Semitism. She led a delegation of Imams to Dachau. She went to the Vatican. And this summer, she went to the Olympics, which I'll tell you more about in a moment.
At the same time, Hannah has also generated greater attention within our government to the struggle against anti-Semitism.
Next month, Hannah is heading back home to Wisconsin where she will become director of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. We're going to miss her greatly, but our efforts to combat anti-Semitism will carry on, our commitment undiminished.
Like Hannah, members of my family in Hungary perished in the Holocaust, so these issues have a special personal resonance to me.
It is deeply disturbing to read the reports of anti-Semitism coming from around the world. We are all too familiar with reports of the desecration of cemeteries, defacing of property, the hateful graffiti on the walls of Jewish neighborhoods, and the poisonous rhetoric that permeates official news outlets and social media throughout the Middle East. Even in 2012, there are still accusations of blood libel and places where schools teach the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as fact.
These incidents, unfortunately, are not relegated to one part of our globe.
In Iran, President Ahmadinejad refers to the Holocaust as a "lie" and to the Jewish state a "tumor." He has referred to the quote "European" assertion that "Hitler killed innocent Jews in furnaces" and says, "We don't accept that claim."
The Obama administration has consistently condemned these outrageous statements as well as those by other Iranian leaders, and we will continue to do so. We were also pleased that U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, during his recent trip to Tehran, was outspoken on many of the issues we all care about.
In Venezuela, we have seen numerous anti-Semitic statements in official media and by President Chavez himself. Last year, Jewish community leaders filed a formal protest with the Prosecutor General's Office over the "incitement to hate" contained in an April 4 broadcast on the government-owned Radio del Sur whose host promoted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a quote "must-read." The host was switched but she continued to broadcast on other state-owned media.
Last year, President Chavez, in a letter to the U.N. Secretary General, criticized Israel for committing "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians, and called Zionism "racism."
In a range of Middle Eastern countries, editorial cartoons and articles were published depicting Jews as demonic figures, comparing Israeli leaders to Nazis, and denying or glorifying the Holocaust.
And in Hungary, radical political groups like the Jobbik party in Parliament used anti-Semitic rhetoric to play on fears of economic uncertainty. One of its leaders recently resigned following internal pressure after it was discovered he had Jewish heritage.
Unfortunately, you will find many other examples in both the State Department's annual Human Rights Report and our report on International Religious Freedom. I encourage you to take another look at these reports, which we have streamlined and made searchable, at www.humanrights.gov.
But as you know, monitoring and reporting anti-Semitism is only a first step.
Under Hannah's leadership we have begun a major training initiative for Foreign Service officers in the State Department to teach them not only how to monitor but also how to respond appropriately to various forms of anti-Semitism. And we are seeing that many countries are now doing the right thing, challenging anti-Semitism and other forms of racial, religious and ethnic hatred.
Most recently, I was pleased to see that Austria's president publicly condemned a politician for posting on his Facebook page a cartoon widely perceived to be anti-Semitic.
According to news reports, the president had two words to say about efforts to rekindle that country's Nazi history: "No way."
That is responsible leadership, and I encourage others around the world to follow suit.
Those who turn a blind eye to escalating hatreds undermine the stability of their own societies. Conversely, government figures and religious leaders who denounce any and every form of hatred and work together to combat it build the foundations for a more peaceful and prosperous society in which all citizens can contribute.
Under Secretary Clinton, the United States has made it a priority to support non-governmental groups, which are indispensable to progress all over the world. She calls civil society one of the three legs of a stool, the other two being government and business. Civil society groups – often not Jewish ones – are at the forefront of efforts to combat anti-Semitism as well as other forms of hatred.
In the difficult places, we help amplify these voices. These front-line activists put themselves at risk through their advocacy, and when they get in trouble, as they too often do, we seek to provide a lifeline of protection to them.
So the first thing we're doing to combat anti-Semitism is partnering with civil society. Second, we're focusing greater attention on young people around the world because we know that their values and opinions are being shaped at an early age. We scrutinize the curriculum they're taught and the textbooks they read. And so we know that in 2012 there are children who are taught hatred.
We need to redouble our efforts to challenge schools that inculcate hate and glorify violence — and those who fund them.
Third, our government is providing training to a wide range of foreign law enforcement agencies. Part of that training focuses on crimes committed against vulnerable populations, including in countries where there are embattled Jewish communities.
Fourth, we are ramping up our cultural and educational exchanges to showcase what civil society groups in this country are doing to confront racism, discrimination, stereotyping and other forms of hate, and how they draw on successful initiatives from other countries.
And fifth, we are trying to appeal to the idealism of young people of many faiths who want the world they'll live in to be less blighted by hate. As many of you also know, two years ago Hannah and Farah Pandith, who was appointed in 2009 as the State Department's first Special Representative to Muslim Communities, launched a virtual campaign on Facebook to ask young people from around the world to give an hour of their time to serve someone who doesn't look like them, live like them or believe as they do.
That campaign is now called "2012 Hours Against Hate," and it has generated an amazing outpouring, a generosity of time and spirit. Young people don't have money, but they do have time. And they have given their time.
Hannah often says that the goal is for young people to "walk a mile in another person's shoes." This summer the London Olympics chose 2012 Hours Against Hate as its tolerance initiative, and corporations, led by the athletic company SoFit, established an app that actually lets people track their walking miles to fight hatred. And it connects them to people in other countries who are walking with them at the same time.
Tens of thousands of people have already logged on to "Hours Against Hate and the Walk A Mile app. These people forge deeper connections within their own communities and they connect with others around the world who are also inspired to work against hate.
But despite these and many other efforts, we all know that anti-Semitism has not been vanquished. In many places it is a harbinger of an escalation in extremist hate and violence – a leading indicator of social strife. Where such hatred is born of ignorance, we must teach and inspire. We must show a better way forward. Where such hatred is fomented by political ambition, we must challenge it both diplomatically and politically.
The Obama administration is committed to meeting these challenges, but we cannot do it alone. Organizations like the B'nai Brith have an essential role to play, and we are proud to be your partner. We must brace ourselves for a long struggle. The fight against anti-Semitism is a marathon, not a sprint. In that spirit, let us work together and renew our commitment to Tikkun Olam — to heal this world– and pursue justice and freedom everywhere.

Ray Isle (@islewine on Twitter) is Food & Wine's executive wine editor. We trust his every cork pop and decant – and the man can sniff out a bargain to boot. Take it away, Ray.
Wine and Chinese food tends to promote a strange response among wine writers, which can be summed up as "pair Chinese food with off-dry Riesling. Or Gewürztraminer."
Well, fine, but isn't that sort of like saying "pair French food with white Burgundy" or "pair Italian food with a red wine?" Last I heard, Chinese cuisine had enormous regional variety and a culinary tradition that extends back, oh, a few thousand years or so. (In 2005, archeologists discovered the remains of some 4,000 year old noodles near the Yellow River; those are some mighty old noodles.)
Now, Americanized Chinese food, that's a more recent invention - safe to say the folks who made those noodles four millennia ago weren't chowing down on plates of General Tso's Chicken. Regardless, here are some pairing suggestions for dishes from both the traditional and not-so realms.
Steamed Whole Fish with Ginger and Scallion
Peking Duck
Kung Pao Chicken
Salted Baked Duck Tongue

He also revealed that he was no longer interested in sports and could not connect to old friends because his interests changed.
Once he accepted his new sexuality, Birch lost weight and eventually left his job as a banker to become a hairdresser. He now lives with his 19-year-old boyfriend Jack Powell in an apartment above the salon where he works.
Although there are no prior reports tying strokes to sexuality changes, Joe Korner, director of communications for The Stroke Association of the U.K. suggests that strokes have the potential of causing drastic impacts in a person's life.
"Strokes are traumatic, life-changing experiences, which can make you reassess life and your feelings, so perhaps that's the reason behind it," Korner told reporters. "Whether or not the stroke turned Chris gay, or whether he was gay anyway but unaware of it, his experience seems to be a positive one, which is great."

Another Example of Cultural Fascism
And yet another example of cultural fascism--this time from a professor at a community college who responded to a student's announcement that a soldier would be speaking about the accomplishments in Iraq at the college:
Young America's Foundation exposed Warren Community College's radical Professor John Daly, who in an email to student Rebecca Beach, vowed to intimidate those students who host conservative speakers and called for American soldiers in Iraq to murder their superiors.
Instead of admonishing the professor's intemperate attack on a student's right of free expression, Warren Community College President William Austin said Prof. John Daly has "first amendment rights" to harass Rebecca. Furthermore, the President is trying to bully Rebecca into silence. He said Rebecca, not Prof. John Daly, is ruining the college's name by going on talk radio and television exposing Daly's mean spirited email.
Now, turn the tables and imagine that a left-leaning Democratic group of students was able to get Michael Moore or some socialist leader like Fidel Castro to speak at this so called establishment of higher education--not only would the faculty probably not object, they would be kissing this would-be speaker's ass.
So if you believe that the political correctness police do not punish right-leaning citizens for their views--think again.

Hello everyone,
so I've been tweaking with the filters and whatnot, reading one or too tutorials, and I've adapted one or two methods and here's the result so far! Not too different from some styles already out there though. I kinda of like the feeling of it for now. I'll have to change the ocean, but for now it's good since the land was my main focus. I'm still trying to figure out a way of making realistic looking forests like one I've seen around, but so far nothing. I would appreciate if you guys could help me with tips and whatnot.
Thank you for your time
EDIT: And yes, the scale is not that suitable for the resolution in my opinion. I'll change that on other maps in the future.
EDIT: Now that I look at it now, the depth of it is off... anyone got good ways of making realistic mountains?

Survey Says Subway Stations Are Ugly
At least there are a lot of trash cans, according to a new study.
The Straphangers Campaign undertook a massive State of the Station Platforms independent study of the MTA , and the results are overall pretty kind to NYC's subway system, focusing mostly on obvious, superficial flaws most riders have long accepted. The group's interns and staffers observed 250 platforms at 120 randomly selected stations in 2011, discovering trash cans (not overflowing!) at 100 percent of platforms surveyed. Rats were somehow only seen at 11 percent of platforms, "substantial graffiti" at 20 percent, and exposed wiring at 28 percent. There were water damage and broken light fixtures at more than half of the platforms, and 79 percent had peeling paint. Sure, they could use some TLC, but the numbers sound, perhaps worryingly, pretty close to the apartments we've lived in.

Like the Capsules
By Lily
from Seattle
Probiotics are important for animals as well as humans. Especially since most of their food is precooked. This aids in digestion, I have two cats, and one is 18. I noticed that she doesn't throw up as often now. I like the caps because I can use a partial cap to sprinkle on her wet food.

By Woods
from East Aurora, NY
My Pom has a sensitive stomach and loose stools so I did research and decided to try giving him a probiotic. I know Only Natural Pet sells the best pet products so I bought this for him. Within a day of giving him one capsule his stools were solid and his gas was gone. Only Natural Pet Probiotic Blend contains FOS which I read is important for it to work as it has. Not only does he feel better now, I do also as I found something that helps him. A plus also is that it doesn't require refrigeration. Will continue to give this to him so he will continue to be a happy doggie.

My dog Threw up
By hadj
from ny
I use digestive enzymes in his food as a powder. I accidently ordered this and figured it would be a good addition to his diet. He has never had any stomach issues in 15 years. I was alarmed at the size of the capsule and had trouble giving it to him by mouth so I had to add it to his food He ate around it until the end. By then the capsule had melted however he ate it and threw it up, food and all. Waste of money for me but it may be OK for someone who can administer large capsules to their dog by mouth.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gelatin Capsules FOOD ALLERGIES
By AB
from Florida
About Me Professional Pet Trainer
Probiotics were advertised as microcrystalline cellulose capsule. They are actually beef gelatin/an ALLERGEN. If your pet has FOOD ALLERGIES beware. The 1st ingredient is gelatin (beef) last is the microcrystalline cellulose. Sales people were not aware of this and the website also did not disclose this. Even emailed the sales/service department and called, they both claimed no gelatin. Love what the company is doing for the environment, and love the eco packaging; but they need to improve their customer service and educate their employees on product knowledge, as well as update their website so it is accurate. Keep trying guys!
larger than life
By Louigi
from san mateo
I ordered these as an option to another manufacturer which I have used for a long time. Because they are so big and required cutting the dosage in 1/2, per instructions, I have actually ordered my older meds and am saving the capsules to fill to see how these work out. Measure a small dosage is a pain.
