Rather have in Dynasty??by Patrick Mar 25, 2016 10:39 PMJersey Guy Jersey Guy Mar 27, 2016 11:53 AM Flag
I think its truly a coin flip depending on how you build you team. Hosmer will probably give you better 5 category stats while Rizzo will be more like 3/4 cat stats that are bigger. I like to build speed into my power players so I'd probably lean towards Hosmer but most would take Rizzo as I think his #'s are more steady.

Chris Davis vs. George Springerby Rowdy Mar 27, 2016 2:57 PM
that's what im thinking but I keep second guessing it. Even though davis is only a 3 stat guy it could be #1 in HR and RBIs. I feel like Springer could go 110R 25HR 80RBI 25 SB and hit .275. abd if Davis goes 100R 45HR 120RBI and hit .270 they will be ablout the same but there are not many players that can do what Davis does and more that can do what Springer can.

Looking to join a 12 team roto tonightby Sachin "Truth" Arora Mar 27, 2016 7:11 PM
My league may/may not be a 12 team league (at least 10) and we won't have our draft tonight but we are actively seeking members. Would you be interested?
Yep, the white background still sucks.
Keeper League Draft at 9:15CDT Tonight. Open to join. League Name: League of Champions2
Replacing 3 teams that became inactive mid-season. Generally replace them with managers from my other leagues, but wanting some new blood. It is a free league. You have 6 keepers that will be assigned by me from previous teams rosters. I will switch them out for better players who are available if the keeper options are extremely imbalanced.

Need help from Yahoo to override a shady waiver dropby Phil Mar 27, 2016 1:45 PM
A player dropped is a player dropped, no more, no less. If he had dropped half his team, that would have been a different issue. Yahoo! will not correct a manager's mistakes. Dropping a player that is not on the can't cut list, intentional or not, is not an error Yahoo! will correct.
9 Managers Needed, H2H Points Custom League
Just like the title says, my league needs 9 more managers to join, League ID#: 136341, League Name: Master-Batters. This a brand new league and would love to make it into a league that's around for awhile
$40 Keeper League - 8th year, Looking for two
Hey everyone, we've got 2 spots open in an ultra competitive keeper league in its 8th season. Draft will be this week sometime (currently schedule for Wednesday @ 8ET, but will likely be pushed back to ensure everyone gets acclimated to the rules and settings).
I can send details of the league rules/keeper rules if you respond with your e-mail. Like I said this is an incredible league with very little turnover from year to year and we have two spots available including last year's league champ - so you know the pool pf players to keep this year is going to be very good (we allow 7 keepers out of a 24-man roster from year to year with draft position stipulations).
Post e-mail below for more info!

LOS ANGELES - Zoic Studios (www.zoicstudios.com) has added to its staff, bringing Leighton Greer onboard as senior producer of commercials, and John Shirley on as senior compositor.
Greer was formerly a producer at Entity FX, where she worked on the the feature "Hitch." Before Entity, she enjoyed a tenure at A52, producing effects for such high-end spots as Nike's "Before," Sony's "Signs" and Pontiac's "Mantra."
Leighton also worked as a production manager for Rhythm and Hues, where she oversaw the day-to-day operations of the company's growing commercial division.

Returning to his native Southern California, Shirley's talents elevated him to the position of lead visual effects artist at Encore, working on episodic television shows such as "Six Feet Under," "Ally McBeal" and HBO's "Carnivale." A highly sought-after compositor, Shirley has also worked on music videos for Mariah Carey and Limp Bizkit, as well as on commercial projects for JC Penney and Nestle.

63 Reviews
I made them for the first time and LOVED them. I added a treat and used it for the doe in pizza . The family loved it. The possibility are unlimited with this bread.
I am so impressed! It's sort of like Hawaiian Sweet Bread. I'm doing Atkins so I'll be making these quite a bit - I love how easy they are and so few ingredients!
I just got through making these for the second time. I've adopted a low carb diet and these have been a life saver! I have left the sugar out, and used full fat cream cheese both times. I've also used parchment paper, no cleanup needed. After cooling, I put them in a Ziploc and then into the fridge overnight. VERY much like bread, but so light! The taste is wonderful, not eggy to me at all, but then I love eggs so it wouldn't bother me if they did. I do have issues with them sticking together some. Think I'll try a bit of glad wrap between, see if that helps. After reading the reviews I can't wait to try them as French toast or a pizza crust. This recipe is going to make this diet doable for me. BTW, they make excellent hamburger buns! Thanks so much!
Very easy to make and they are a perfect substitute for buns/bread. I followed the method of baking them then letting them rest overnight in a Ziploc so they would be more bread like. I had a cheeseburger with all the toppings last night on one and today a peanut butter/banana sandwich. Perfect texture and no eggy flavor (I was afraid of that since they smelled so strong baking).
I make these with cinnamon or nutmeg and slightly more sweetener. Then to eat, I toast right on the rack in my oven @ bout 200 degrees/10 min and serve with s.f. syrup it's quite like a slice of french toast.
Just pulled a batch out of the oven and so far, very impressed. After they cooled a bit, I popped one in the toaster for a couple of minutes and ate it with butter and honey and cinnamon - quite good!! I will be trying them for breakfast bread and also sandwiches tomorrow after they spend the night in the fridge, but so far, so good. BTW, I only got 7 from the recipe, but I made them a bit larger than suggested. Thanks for posting this really great recipe. It's an outstanding replacement for bread on a low-carb eating plan!!
These came out surprisingly well. I baked them closer to 35 to 40 minutes to get them nice and browned. I was having trouble stirring the cream cheese into the egg yolks, so I used a whisk instead of a spoon to beat the mixture and it worked much better.
I LOVE this recipe! I just made my first batch - I made 4 fairly large rounds and loved them. I used regular Philadelphia cream cheese with mine, and I thought it was great. I made 2 pb & j sandwiches with them and was thoroughly delighted. I'm a diabetic and have to go easy on anything white, like bread - and it looks like I might just keep a batch of this "dough" in the fridge at all times to bake up some rounds for myself so I can have sandwiches again. YAAAAY!!!!!
I tried this recipe using the cream cheese option and it did not work.The bread was never a meringue consistency, it was soft and rubbery yet looked just like the photos. I used low fat cream cheese though and think this may have been the problem...so don't use LF cream cheese. I will try it again with the cottage cheese and see if I have better luck.
So great to have many ways! I have used it for sandwiches, lightly toasted with jam and as burger buns! So easy and low cal and carb :)

3. Comparing the results of different likely voter models
All told, we tested 16 different variations on four types of likely voter methods, producing estimates that range from a 2-point Democratic lead to a 7-point Republican advantage in the generic U.S. House vote. The benchmark for comparison is a 3-point Republican lead among verified voters (49% Republican, 46% Democratic) when they were interviewed prior […]
2: Measuring the likelihood to vote
The survey literature has long shown that more respondents say they intend to vote than actually cast a ballot (e.g., Bernstein et al. 2001; Silver et al. 1986). In addition, some people say they do not expect to vote but actually do, perhaps because they are contacted by a campaign or a friend close to […]
1. Polls and votes: The 2014 elections by the numbers
Our equivalent of a crystal ball – the voter file, combined with a post-election survey interview – provides us with a validated record of turnout for our survey respondents. Our post-election survey provides us with the respondents' report of how they voted. This allows us to see how a Democratic advantage among registered voters in […]
Can Likely Voter Models Be Improved?
High-profile polling failures in recent elections have drawn attention to the challenges in using surveys to predict outcomes. Our study examines various methods of determining who is a likely voter.
6 facts about black Americans for Black History Month
Blacks have made progress on several fronts, including educational attainment and voting rates, but large gaps by race persist in areas such as wealth and poverty measures.
5 takeaways about the 2014 Latino vote
Would Latinos turn out to vote in greater numbers this year? Would the lack of action on immigration reform by President Obama and Congress depress voter turnout, or raise it? Here are five takeaways about Latino voters in this year's midterm elections.
The Party of Nonvoters
Americans who won't be voting on Election Day are very different from likely voters: They're younger, more racially diverse and more financially strapped.
Registered voters, likely voters, turnout rates: What does it all mean to 2014 election forecasts?
How many Americans are likely to vote, and which voters in the survey are the likely voters? Important as these questions are, there is almost no consensus among the pollsters as to how to identify each of these groups.
Fewer Voters Report Getting Robo-Calls, Campaign Ads Still Pervasive
Voters are reporting roughly similar levels of contact from political campaigns and groups as four years ago, but the share of voters who say they have received a phone call about the election has fallen 12 points since mid-October 2010, from 59% to 47%.
GOP Has Midterm Voter Engagement Advantage
Republicans hold a clear advantage in voter engagement in this fall's midterm elections, but it is more modest than it was in 2010. And anti-incumbent sentiment remains high.

GlacialLight Unveils Enhanced LED Flood Lighting for Interior and Exterior Applications
GlacialLight, a division of the Taiwanese technology manufacturer, GlacialTech Inc., has added the GL-FL30-V2, a 27W AC-input LED flood light with Philips Lumileds LED chips, to its energy efficient and light-weight flood light series.
The GL-FL30-V2 comes with enhancements when compared to the earlier models of GL-FL30: the maximum input voltage of this flood light has been increased from 240V AC to 277V AC; the electronic circuit provides a higher power factor for enhanced energy efficiency (increased from >0.92@120V AC and >0.7@240V AC to >0.95@120V AC and >0.87@240V AC; and the GL-FL30-V2 is smaller (180 x 140 x 105mm) and lighter (1.2kg). Compared to equivalent mercury flood lights, these LED flood lights consume far less power for the same light output, according to GlacialLight. The GL-FL30-V2-CW has a luminous efficacy of 70.4 lumens per watt, and the GL-FL30-V2-WW has a luminous efficacy of 58.1 lumens per watt.
The small size and the light weight of the flood light enable it to be easily installed for indoor and outdoor applications, the company says. Typical usages for the GL-FL30-V2 include spot lighting, architectural lighting, commercial lighting, factory and work area lighting, retail lighting, public space and building exterior lighting.

Daily Hair Care Solutions for Everyone
Whether your hair is oily or dry, straight or curly, coarse or fine, thin or thick, you need to care for it on a regular basis. Cleansing your hair daily or a few times per week removes impurities that can make tresses smell unpleasant, appear greasy and rob them of body.
are the hair care products used for cleansing. These products contain ingredients called surfactants that mix with oily impurities so that water can wash them away. After cleansing, it's important to hydrate and nourish hair with a
, a product that contains nutrients and moisturizers needed to keep hair in good health. Shampoos and conditioners are made with specific hair types in mind, so you'll want to find ones that can meet your hair's needs.
Everything You Need for Styling
After you've cleansed and conditioned, you're set to style, and most people use
hair care tools
to help them detangle, shape, smooth and dry their tresses. Combs can be used to separate, part and section wet hair, while brushes are used for styling damp and dry hair. You can speed up dry time with a blow dryer, straighten with a flat iron and add body or curls with a curling iron. Using
styling aids
like creams, mousses, serums, gels, pomades and waxes can help you overcome problems that reduce your hair's manageability, and once you've finished styling, you can use a hair spray to keep your tresses in place.
Bring the Salon Right to Your Home
You don't have to visit a salon to treat your hair to some pampering and get the benefits of treatments. Color, relaxer and permanent kits can be used to change your hair's hue and texture at home, and you can purchase treatments, masks and deep conditioners to address hair care concerns on your own. At drugstore.com, we even carry many of the shampoos, conditioners, tools and styling aids that the pros use, and we stock salon supply products to help you fully recreate the salon experience at home.

The present invention relates to postage meters and particularly to a postage meter in which variable data can be easily printed along with the imprint of postal value.
Previously, electronic meters, as well as the more traditional mechanical postage meters have relied upon specifically-manufactured, individually-unique printing dies which were provided to the user and which enabled the printing of the indicia, slogans, and the like in addition to postal value. Once fixed, the information and images replicated by the die could not be changed except by replacing the die.
In accordance with the invention the printing of postal value and other associated indicia is accomplished by using a thermal transfer printer under the control of a microprocessor for forming the images and enabling the input and printing of selected variable data. Thus it is an object of the invention to provide a postage meter which is capable of printing different information on a tape or strip in accordance with a received command.
It is a further object to provide a stamp impression printer to provide printing of changeable indicia without changing any mechanical parts.
It is another object to provide a means for interchanging meters, particularly between post offices, without having to order new printing dies.
FIG. 1 is a perspective drawing of a postage meter in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the electronic portion of the meter in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 3 shows a preferred tape and thermal transfer ribbon drive apparatus for the meter in accordance with the invention.
In FIG. 1, a postage meter in accordance with the invention is shown generally at 10. The unit is provided with a keyboard 12 for inputting data into the unit and a display 14 which may be a conventional LED display. Similar keyboards and displays are shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,938,095 to Check, Jr. et al, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. A slot or opening 16 is provided through which is ejected the imprinted tape. An input/output connector (not shown) may be optionally provided if desired for interconnection and communication with other devices.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the electronic portion of the postage meter in accordance with the invention. The meter preferably incorporates a central processing unit 18 connected through a conventional bus arrangement to a multi-purpose ROM/RAM/IO device 20. A keyboard 22 and display 24 are scanned and driven, respectively, in conventional manner through use of conventional decoders 26 to enable input and readout of desired data. A bus arrangement likewise preferably provides in conventional manner for input and output between ROM/RAM/IO device 20 and accounting registers, peripheral units, or the like.
Printer logic and driver circuits shown at 28 receive data input from the device 20 and translate the data into a pattern of suitable sequential electrical pulses to individual thermal heating elements of a thermal print head 30 for heating the elements in conventional fashion. Suitable thermal print heads for use in a meter as disclosed herein are available from RICOH Company Ltd., San Jose, Calif. or KYOCERA Kyoto, Japan. A typical device is shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,429,318 issued Jan. 31, 1984 to Kobata.
In the print head for use in the instant postage meter it is preferable that the heating elements be formed in a single row and arranged perpendicular to the direction of travel of a paper tape as described below. For best results, there are about 224 elements in the row. The elements are heated as required for the purpose of melting an ink composition on a thermal transfer ribbon and causing it to be lifted off the ribbon at the point of heating and transferred to a paper tape traveling in conjunction with the thermal transfer ribbon. CPU 18 further controls the sequencing of motor drivers 32 which is described in connection with FIG. 3.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a suitable tape drive unit for the postage meter. Paper tape (not shown) spools off a roll of tape rotatably mounted on shaft 34 passing around roller 36 and between tape guides 38 and 40 and from thence portions of tape feed into the bite between heating elements of the thermal head 30 (numbered the same as the block shown in FIG. 2) and the impression roller indicated at 42 to the bite between upper exit roller 44 and lower exit roller 46. Tape cutting knives 48 and 50 are provided for cutting the tape into one of two different lengths depending upon whether a printed slogan on other such information is desired or not. Each knife 48 and 50 comprises a movable cutting blade in contact with a rotationally biased blade operated preferably by means of a rotary solenoid (shown schematically at 52 and 54) which operate upon command of the microcomputer to cut the tape prior to transport of a cut section past the thermal head 30.
The thermal head 30 is able to both translate and rotate so as to align the row of heating elements with the impression roller nip. Suitable adjustment means, for example, are shown as threaded screw 56 threadingly mounted on bracket 58 and carrying mounting member 60 to which the thermal head 30 is fixed.
A roll of thermal transfer ribbon (not shown), typically 0.00025" Mylar� ribbon having a suitable meltable ink composition coating, is rotatably mounted on shaft 62 and preferably housed in a molded cassette housing 64. The tape is threaded coating-side down so as to travel adjacent to the paper tape through the bite between the thermal head 30 and the impression roller 42 and then through the bite between the exit rollers to a take-up spool mounted on shaft 66, also preferably a part of cassette 64.
Drive or feed roller 66 and pinch roller 68 are provided to advance tape to the position for the next cycle as described more fully in a copending application of William Ross and Kenneth Terry entitled TAPE STRIP CUTTER IN A POSTAGE METER HAVING A THERMAL PRINT HEAD filed on even date herewith, and assigned to Pitney Bowes Inc.
As described more fully in the copending application entitled DUAL FUNCTION PRESSURE REMOVAL AND DRIVE UNIT FOR A POSTAGE METER HAVING A THERMAL PRINTER filed on even date herewith by William Ross and Kenneth Terry and assigned to Pitney Bowes Inc., arms 70, 72 and 94 are pivoted about pivot shafts 74, 76 and 86. The distal ends 78, 80 and 96 normally rest against camming surfaces 82 on shaft 84. In accordance with the invention, as the camming surface is rotated in a first direction, the ends 78, 80 and 96 move inwardly toward shaft 84 to enable pinch roller 68, exit roller 44 and impression roller 42 to move toward the tape to increase the pressure thereon.
Conveniently, feed roller 66, impression roller 42, and exit roller 46 are driven from a single stepping motor 85. For best results, the lower exit roller 46 is driven by a drive belt from the stepping motor and lower exit roller 46 drives an idler wheel 86 which in turn drives the impression roller 42. Suitably, belt 88 transmits the motion from idler wheel 86 to the take-up spool mounted on shaft 66.
The operation of the drive mechanism will now be described assuming that the paper tape is loaded such that it lies between guides 38 and 40 and the free end is situated approximately at the bite between the thermal head 30 and the impression roller 42. It is also assumed that the pinch roller 68, the impression roller 42 and upper exit roller 44 are in the pressure-relief position away from the tape.
As the printing operation commences, the camming surfaces 82 are rotated so as to enable the arms 70 and 72 to move inwardly toward shaft 84 to in turn bring the pinch roller 68 and impression roller 42 into pressure abutment against the paper tape. With the rollers in such abutment, one of the knives 48 or 50 is actuated under command of the microprocessor depending upon the length of the meter strip desired that is, whether a slogan or the like is desired. The drive rollers are then actuated to drive the cut segment of tape past the thermal print head and through the bite of the exit rollers 44 and 46 and from thence out the slot 16. At the same time, feed roller 66 is driving the remaining tape into pre-position for the next printing cycle.
As the tape is traveling past the thermal head, the thermal transfer ribbon is also traveling in conjunction with the tape. In response to output commands from the microcomputer, the thermal elements of the thermal head are heated in a patterned sequence to create the desired image line-by-line on the tape traveling past the head as the ink coating on the thermal transfer ribbon is heated and lifted from the thermal transfer ribbon and deposited on the paper tape.
When the printing has finished and the tape has been pre-positioned for the next cycle, pressure is then relieved on the feed roller and the impression roller by the rotation of the camming surface 82 into its initial position to again lift pinch roller 68 and to pivot impression roller 42 away from the paper tape.
It will be understood that the claims are intended to cover all changes and modifications of the disclosed embodiment, herein chosen for the purpose of illustration, which do not constitute departures from the scope and spirit of the invention.

New Study Says The Bigger The Song, The Dumber The Lyrics
A new study suggests that in order for a song to become a hit, the lyrics have to be dumbed down to a grade school level.
A new study suggests that in order for a song to become a hit, the lyrics have to be dumbed down to a grade school level.
Rihanna delivered two visual interpretations of her latest singles, "Bitch Betta Have My Money" and "American Oxygen" on the final episode of 'Saturday Night Live''s 40th anniversary season.
When fans meet Rihanna for the first time they tend to get excited. But in the case of funnyman Louis C.K., who is hosting Saturday Night Live's season finale this weekend, things got a little awkward in the show's promo with RiRi, who is the musical guest.
Rihanna is living up to her fashion killa status once again with her new haute Christian Dior "Secret Gardens" ad.
It's that time of year again when the world's most popular artists gather at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art to showcase their lavish gowns and tuxedos for the 2015 Met Gala.
It's barely bikini season in most regions across the nation, but when you are an international superstar like Rihanna you can go wherever the heat is. Now you're lucky enough to see the benefits of her trip to Hawaii.
The previously unreleased track "Put It Up" is a slinky, sexy number that was reportedly intended to appear on Brown's last album. Rihanna, however, wouldn't let him release the track after the two broke up for the second time.
Rihanna debuts a new piece of (painful-looking!) jewelry on Instagram.
Splicing together historical footage of the civil rights movement, 9/11, and the protests that rocked Ferguson, Alabama, Rihanna's "American Oxygen" video is a cutting reflection of America's promise and its often contradictory reality.
We all know Rihanna to be a party girl, but a new video has surfaced having causing many to speculate that the pop singer is doing cocaine.

My wife and I live in Cyprus and moved here three years ago. Having arrived on the island we used another currency transfer company and were disappointed with the service, then over two years ago we placed our spot transfers in the very safe hands of UKForex and their service is fast, efficient and reliable. Furthermore, the spot rates are always very good, competitive and the web based service is so simple to use and it is very easy to register. We accumulate our pensions in the UK and then transfer them in bulk at a time to suit us. When doing this we always transfer more than £3000 and do not incur any additional charges. We have already recommended UKForex to three of our friends and will continue to sing the praises of this first class service.

"A.J.'s Ebook and Audio Program for Non Borderlines - The Dilemma on The Other Side of BPD was a life-saver for me. From both the ebook and the audio program I learned so much about BPD that I still needed to understand so that I could make sense out of the chaos and turmoil of a relationship I was in and the pain of it all. This information helped me come to terms with the reality that love wasn't really what I thought it was. Thanks so much A.J.!"
-- Cindy Mcphail, London, England
"I bought A.J. Mahari's ebook, on Loneliness. Wow! So much insightful and informative stuff. I had not ever really thought about there being anything positive about loneliness. You taught me so much. I have been able to make some wonderful changes in my life because your ebook helped me to learn that the place to start was with my attitude toward and thoughts about loneliness. Thanks so much A.J. and may God continue to bless all the work that you do."
-- Sue Johnson, Australia
"I have BPD and I had absolutely no hope for myself until I listened A.J. Mahari's Audio, Finding Hope From the Polarized Negativity of BPD. This and a few other audios I listened to taught me so much. I now have hope. I now understand how I have kept myself trapped in my own borderline chaos as a way of not feeling my pain. I can now change this. I highly recommend others with BPD listen to A.J.'s Audios for Borderlines."

Quotes From A.J. Mahari
"The collective experiences compiling in the very young infant are forming an internal representation of the world. The core wound of abandonment results in the destruction of the emerging authentic self. It destroys the very essence of the developing self. Emotional growth and development are arrested as the result of failure to master early childhood developmental phases."
-- A.J. Mahari in her Ebook, "The Legacy of Abandonment in BPD"
"The inner child in those with BPD, due to the pain that borderlines have abandoned, may well feel overly controlled, abandoned, silenced, and neglected. The borderline's inner child is in tremendous pain and it is also the gateway to the lost self of the borderline."
-- A.J. Mahari in her Audio Program, "From False Self To Authentic Self In BPD - Getting in Touch With the Inner Child"
"We have two worlds and one bridge. That bridge where we can journey toward connection is understanding. Let us all walk this bridge that spans our differences toward its centre with tolerance and an attitude of gratitude for these sacred differences that challenge us to shelter and nurture our humanity with care."
-- A.J. Mahari in her Ebook, "Asperger's Syndrome and Adulthood"

After adjusting to the player's height and preferred pitching speed, Iron Mike pitching machines hurl fastballs down center plate; for a more authentic game-day experience, players can test their skill against a human pitcher in the live cage. Hitting isn't the only skill taught at the sprawling baseball complex. Inside the 120-foot toss cage, catchers can practice throwing out base runners stealing second or brushing back batters who get too close to their personal space. In one-on-one instructional sessions, former players devote their undivided attention to students, teaching them fundamentals and correcting their pitching and fielding techniques. These lessons take place in skill-development cages outfitted with movable mounds, pitching targets, and L-screen protection.10498 W. 163rd PlaceOrland Park, IL US

My name is Maria Ryan and I was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in 2001. Relapsing-remitting means that symptoms, such as a vision problem in my case, can come and go making it difficult to detect. Prior to 2001, I was living the life I had worked hard to achieve. I was extremely active, I ran 5k's, I boxed and I owned and operated a successful dog training business where I lived my passion every day.
I started experiencing symptoms that prompted me to visit my eye doctor and after hours of testing, he made an appointment for me to see a neurologist. The next day, I had my first brain MRI only to be unexpectedly diagnosed with this life changing disease.

Neil Abramson author of "Just Life" will join Jon and Talkin' Pets 6/25/16 at 5pm EST to discuss and give away his new book
From the author of Unsaid comes a thrilling story of struggle, redemption, and our devotion to the animals in our lives
By Neil Abramson
"If you love dogs and well-written, suspenseful fiction that is uplifting and will inspire you to open an animal sanctuary, read this lovely novel."
—Jeffrey Masson, author of Dogs Never Lie About Love,
The Dog Who Couldn't Stop Loving and Dogs Make Us Human
Praise for UNSAID, Neil Abramson's debut novel:
"Rarely has a novel captured so movingly the deep bonds between people and the animals
that share their lives."
—Parade magazine
"UNSAID is an extraordinary story of animals, afterlife, and the power of love... It will make you remember, rethink, and rejoice in every meaningful relationship you've ever had."
—Garth Stein, author of the bestseller The Art of Racing in the Rain
What would you do if they came for your dog? In JUST LIFE (May 10, 2016; Center Street/Hachette Book Group; $26.00), Neil Abramson, whose debut novel Unsaid won rave reviews from critics, booksellers, and readers alike, presents a riveting, thought-provoking roller coaster ride of a novel that asks that very question.
Veterinarian Samantha Lewis and her team are dedicated to providing a sanctuary for unwanted, abused, and abandoned dogs in New York City. But every day it gets harder operate her no-kill shelter. Sam is already at her breaking point when she learns of an unidentified, dangerous virus spreading through their neighborhood. The medical community can only determine that animals are the carriers. Amid growing panic and a demand for immediate answers, suspicion abruptly falls on dogs as the source. Soon the governor is calling in the National Guard to enforce a quarantine--no dog may leave the area.
Samantha knows from her own painful history that, despite the lack of real evidence against the dogs, a quarantine may only be the beginning. As questions about the source of the virus mount and clash with the pressure for a politically expedient resolution, Sam is forced to make life-altering choices. She finds allies in a motley crew of New Yorkers--a local priest, a troubled teen, a smart-mouthed former psychologist, and a cop desperate to do the right thing--all looking for sanctuary from their own personal demons. But the person Sam needs the most to unravel the mystery of the virus and save the dogs is the last one she'd ever want to call on--because contacting him will mean confronting the traumatic past she has fought so hard to escape.
Neil Abramson's novel is engrossing and nuanced, with finely drawn characters and an intense pace that rolls to an unforgettable conclusion. JUST LIFE's message of the balance between fear and compassion, memory and forgiveness, and despair and hope will stay with readers long after they've finished reading, and will spark serious discussions and debate.

Kristina Guerrero CEO of TurboPUP will join Jon and Talkin' Pets 6/18/16 at 620pm EST to discuss and give away her snack bars for dogs
TurboPUP "Complete K9 Meals on the Go" founder Kristina Guerrero to launch
Superfood Snack line extension at Kroger stores
(La Pine, OR, June 2016) - Former Air Force C-130 pilot and founder of TurboPUP,
'Complete K9 Meals on the Go!' Kristina Guerrero, swam with the sharks on the popular
ABC show Shark Tank in January 2015. La Pine-based founder and owner Kristina
Guerrero faced five "sharks" to come and walked away with a $100,000
investment in her company, TurboPUP from Daymond John.
Now after a year of working with John, Guerrero is launching a line of Superfood
Snacks this coming July. This will be the first new line extension from the TurboPUP
"Complete K9 Meal Bars." Guerrero's commitment to promoting canine health and
wellness for pups made her snacks an obvious choice for Kroger.
TurboPUP was inspired by Guerrero's hungry pooch Dunkan on a backcountry ski trip .
With over 12 years in active duty in the U.S. Air Force and in the reserves serving as a
C130 pilot in Operations Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and on the Horn
of Africa.
Impressed with Guerrero's background and proven determination, Daymond agreed to
invest in the company, with Kristina taking the lead on product research and
"Any woman who flies planes in the military is disciplined. She's not going to sleep.
She's going to do what it takes to make it work;" John explained.
TurboPUP's Superfood Snacks are nutrient power houses with functional and everyday
options, made with premium ingredients. Guerrero won't reveal too much about the
snacks until their release in July.
"You'll have to go to Kroger stores and see them for yourself!" Guerrero says. "There
are too many junk food dog products out there. Dog owners will be really excited about
what we've created!"

bar for dogs using American sourced, naural, grain free, and human grade ingredients.
RALEIGH, N.C. (June 16, 2016) – The AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to prevent, treat and cure diseases in all dogs, announces the first round of new grants awarded through its Tick-Borne Disease Initiative.
Jason Stull, VMD, PhD, of The Ohio State University will study "Lyme Disease in Dogs: Prevalence, Clinical Illness, and Prognosis." Lyme disease is a bacterial disease transmitted by tick bites. In people, Lyme is the most common tick-transmitted disease in the US, with over 25,000 cases in 2014. Dogs infected with Lyme disease may not show signs of illness, but underlying impact can be severe. Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Lyme disease in dogs is complicated by limited research and conflicting professional guidance. Following a large group of dogs from different regions of the United States and Canada, the investigators will broaden the understanding of canine Lyme disease by identifying and defining best practices for prevention and control of Lyme disease in areas with different Lyme risks, ultimately improving the health of dogs and their people.
Linda Kidd, DVM, PhD, Western University of Health Sciences, and her team will study "Thrombocytopenia and Occult Vector-Borne Disease in Greyhound Dogs: Implications for Clinical Cases and Blood Donors." Retired racing Greyhounds are common blood donors for dogs requiring blood transfusions. Low platelet (thrombocytopenia) and white blood cell counts are considered normal findings in Greyhounds, as is protein in their urine. Because vector-borne disease pathogens can cause chronic, clinically silent infection, the researchers hypothesize that infection occurs in, and contributes to blood and urine abnormalities in some healthy-appearing retired racing Greyhounds. This study will compare the prevalence of vector-borne diseases in retired racing Greyhounds and show-bred Greyhounds, and will investigate whether blood and urine abnormalities occur with the same frequency in these two lines of Greyhounds. The results will help veterinarians decide when to pursue infectious disease testing, while also informing best practices for screening canine blood donors.
Mary Anna Thrall, DVM, MS of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and her team will investigate "The Role of Lymphocytes in Canine Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (CME)," an important tick-borne disease in dogs caused by the pathogen, Ehrlichia canis. In an effort to understand the variable severity of the disease amongst dogs, the team will study the role and types of lymphocytes present in Ehrlichia-positive dogs to determine if increased lymphocyte counts and a large number of genetically identical lymphocytes are associated with disease severity. The findings from this study will help advance the understanding of the pathophysiology and accurate diagnosis of canine ehrlichiosis and lymphocytosis.
"This first round of funding through the AKC Canine Health Foundation's Tick-Borne Disease Initiative shows promising research to address important tick-borne diseases affecting dogs," said Dr. Diane Brown, CHF chief executive officer. "We are excited about the impact this Initiative will have on canine health and owner awareness of the growing concern over important tick-borne pathogens."
Funding for CHF grants comes from a number of sources, including: corporations, dog clubs, and individuals who are committed to the betterment of canine health through scientific research. During 2016, all donations to the Tick-Borne Disease Initiative are being matched dollar-for-dollar by the American Kennel Club (up to $250,000).

Zak George author of "Dog Training Revolution" will join Jon and Talkin' Pets 6/18/16 at 5pm EST to discuss and give away his new book
Celebrity dog trainer Zak George releases groundbreaking guide:
Zak George's Dog Training Revolution
New comprehensive book teaches everything people need to know to raise and train their dogs
June 7, 2016 — Celebrity dog trainer Zak George announces the release of his first book, Zak George's Dog Training Revolution: The Complete Guide to Raising the Perfect Pet with Love. His successful YouTube channel, Zak George's Dog Training Revolution, is the number one destination for dog training video content in the world. He has also starred on Animal Planet's SuperFetch and BBC's Who Let the Dogs Out.
With this book, George has distilled the information from his hundreds of videos and experience working with thousands of dogs into one comprehensive guide. Written with award-winning journalist Dina Roth Port, Dog Training Revolution is an invaluable resource for people with new dogs or those who want to see what's possible when they apply George's approach to the dog they've had for years. It covers everything from choosing the right dog, socialization, house training and basic training, as well as how to handle common behavioral issues such as leash pulling, jumping up, unwanted barking, and more.
"I wanted to write a book that showed, in very simple terms, how the average person can achieve exceptional results with their dog in a way that is supported by the latest science and 21st century ethics," says George. However, Dog Training Revolution is much more than a training resource—it also includes information on health care essentials such as choosing a vet and selecting the right food as well as cool tricks and fun activities to enjoy with your dog. One thing that really makes this book special is the video integration: Throughout the book, play button icons indicate which subjects have corresponding videos on George's YouTube channel, making for a truly thorough, interactive experience.
What also sets Dog Training Revolution apart is that George's fresh, positive approach allows you to tailor training to your dog's unique traits and energy level—leading to quicker results and a much happier pet. He doesn't base his teaching on breed stereotypes, myths or archaic thinking about dog behavior but rather on scientific research and ethical advancements, all with the goal of raising the standards in the dog training industry.

Pet Leadership Council Endorses Purdue University Project to Establish Science-Based Standards for the Care and Welfare of Breeding Dogs
The Pet Leadership Council (PLC), which is comprised of pet industry leaders, animal welfare organizations, veterinarians and academia, is announcing its support of a Purdue University Study currently underway to improve dog breeder standards.
The study being led by Candace Croney, PhD at Purdue University entitled assessing animal welfare: applications to dog care and welfare standards is expected to be completed by the end of the year. In an effort to facilitate best care practices via research and education, it will address proper guidelines for all aspects of dog well-being in commercial breeding operations including but not limited to: housing, nutrition, sanitation, health and vet care, behavioral well-being, breeding ages, end of breeding life and the outcome of healthy puppies.
"This is an extremely important step forward to ensuring that our nation's puppies are coming from breeders that maintain high standards of care and provide consumers assurance that puppies and adult dogs coming from certified breeders have been raised with significant attention to their physical, genetic and behavioral health and a lifelong commitment to the dogs' well-being," said Bob Vetere, PLC Chairman.
While the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) does have commercial dog breeding standards and licensing in place, there is demand for additional measures to hold breeders accountable and help put an end to substandard breeders commonly referred to as "puppy mills". These standards will provide breeders with a voluntary option to obtain a recognized and trusted certification with regular inspections. Government regulations can take years to change and often become outdated and obsolete. The Purdue guidelines will allow for continuous improvement based on the latest advances in scientific study of the health and well-being of the animals.
"The PLC is encouraged by and strongly supports the work being conducted by Dr. Candace Croney and The Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine to establish science based standards for breeders that will raise the care and welfare of their animals." said Doug Poindexter President of the World Pet Association and PLC Trustee.
