From household hazards to insurance, here is a roundup of our best tips for ensuring your pet's safety.
From vacation ideas to gardening preparation, check out our September checklist to enjoy the rest of summer and get ready for fall.
Just like the planning that went into your vacation, there is planning needed before boarding your pet. Here are some dos and don'ts to help make the process a little easier.
I had Dr. Davis come to my house to euthanize my cat. It was definitely her time, maybe even past her time, and the doctor was very gentle and sweet with her, and with us. My cat hated going to the vet more than anything, and I did not want her last breath to occur in her least favorite place on Earth. Instead I was able to sit with her and pet her while she went to sleep on her favorite chair. It was heartbreaking and I still miss her every day. At the time, I was very happy with the entire staff. My only issue has been with billing. They do not take Discover, which was how I was planning to pay. Long story short, they did not charge my debit card on the date we agreed on, but waited until two weeks later and then told me my card was declined. I am a business owner, and I understand the frustration of outstanding invoices. But I also respect my clients, and I charge them on the exact date they expect. I've implemented payment policies and automated services which minimize or eliminate any payment issues. It's not difficult or expensive. Much of the payment issue has been my own fault, and they've been patient and kind. But given the service for which I'm paying -- euthanizing my best friend and companion of 13.5 years -- it would be nice if they were a little more on top of it from the beginning. I would definitely recommend Dr. Davis to someone with a finicky pet, especially if you prefer to be right by his/her side while they pass. I would just make sure you take care of payment in full and as soon as possible, so that when your pet is gone, all you have to worry about is grieving and healing.
Dr Davis is a beautiful soul and I would recommend her to anyone who believes that animals are an emotional and conscious part of this world in which we live. I called upon Dr. Davis to assist me at the end of my boy's life. He was a 14-yr Collie mix who reached the point of being unable to walk. When the dreaded yet necessary day came, I called her office in the morning and she fit us into her schedule that very day - and she came to us. We were able to handle the event in the comfort and loving surroundings of our own home. I am eternally grateful for this. Besides the logistics, however, Dr. Davis has a very special, conscious connection to animals and it gives her the ability to really communicate with a loved one at the most crucial moment, thereby making it just a bit more OK for everyone involved. Her demeanor and presence are calming, loving and sincere. I only wish I had met her sooner. Thank you Dr. Davis, you are wonderful. Cynthia- P.S. the ladies who answer the phone in her office are very sweet.
Dr. Davis is a warm, compassionate veterinarian. Her gift of animal communication, along with the alternative treatment modalities she uses, make her an awesome practitioner. In response to the previous review, she believes fully in the information she receives and is not afraid to share it, even if it is painful to hear. Her goal is the most appropriate care for our animals, and to honor their wishes. She has treated our Shih Tzu with NAET (Nambutdripad Allergy elimination treatment), which has been an amazing transformation as she was allergic to many,many things. She also helped us to know when our Lhasa was ready to pass back to Spirit and she came to our home so he could pass at home, surrounded by family, not in a strange place. For that gift, I cannot thank her enough. She is a delightful lady and and a dear soul. We will always be patients in her practice.
Choosing the right vet for your pet can be tough. After all, your furry friend can't tell you how he or she feels about the doctor. Even though you're not the one treated by the vet, whoever your animal sees is obviously your decision. Since many veterinary diseases and injuries can turn into emergencies very quickly, it's important to have a go-to vet. This way, you can ensure you'll know whom to see when your animal needs care.
Speak to your friends and family about vets who've treated their pets. You can even talk to your groomer or an animal shelter worker for referrals. When you visit the clinics you've been referred to, check that the facility is clean, animals are separated and the staff is calm and courteous. Not all clinics are American Animal Hospital Association accredited. This accreditation isn't a legal necessity, though a clinic that's AAHA-accredited is guaranteed to offer high-quality medical care. To receive accreditation, the clinic has to meet the AAHA's standards in the areas of facility, equipment and quality care.
If you're looking for a specialist, you want to make sure he or she is board-certified to practice in that specific area of animal medicine. You'll want to make sure your vet is also convenient to visit, so there are factors to take into account.
The type of animal you own should play a part in which vet you choose as well. While your options are vast if you have a dog or cat, you may have to visit an avian clinic for your bird or an exotics clinic for your snake.
Just as there are many types of doctors, there are many types of vets. Some focus on livestock or house pets, while others may specialize in dentistry or surgery. They may work in a veterinary clinic or zoo, working specifically with the animals housed there, or travel to farms to work with livestock. Since horse racing and other equestrian activities are so popular, some vets are trained to work just with horses.
Diseases, like malaria and yellow fever are also transmitted through animals. Some vets have insight to diseases that affect both humans and animals. Vets have contributed to the treatment and cure of many diseases that plagued both humans and their furry friends.
Government agencies employ veterinarians as well. When an animal comes from a foreign land, these vets quarantine them and check for any diseases that may be present in an effort to control new diseases that can be brought into the country. Other Specific types of vets include:
A vet assistant works alongside the veterinarian and helps out around the clinic. In some cases, they may assist vets in surgery or restrain struggling animals during tests or lab work. The everyday duties of a veterinary assistant include; monitoring and caring for animals after surgery, keeping medical records, cleaning animals' teeth, feeding and bathing them, cleaning cages, sterilizing surgical equipment, giving animals medication, collecting samples for testing and performing laboratory tests, and offering grief counseling to pet owners.
It's a good idea to bring your pet to the vet regularly. This way, he or she becomes familiar and comfortable with the care providers, and you can stay on top of your pet's preventative care. If the animal is small enough, bring it to the office in a carrier. Just as you visit the doctor for a yearly check up, you should bring in your pet for regular check ups as well. During a routine veterinary visit, the vet will probably begin by asking you if there have been any changes in your pet's behavior or habits.
The vet will then take your pet's vitals, like weight, temperature, pulse and respiration rate, and perform a physical examination of the pet. During a physical exam, the vet checks the abdomen for swollen organs, and the legs, feet and joints for any potential problems. Depending on the age, breed or condition of your pet, your veterinarian may also check the eyes, ears and mouth.
When your vet conducts a full body examination, he or she will check out your pet's coat and skin, noting any hair loss, itchy spots or lumps. Keep note of your animal's shedding habits so you can let the vet know if anything seems abnormal. The vet will check for parasites, fleas, ticks, mites and heartworms as well.
Vaccinations are also important to your pet, especially if you have a cat or a dog, and your vet will suggest that you make sure they're current. Keeping up to date with vaccinations can prevent your furry friend from getting distemper, rabies, hepatitis and lyme disease. Some vaccinations last longer than others, so speak to your doctor about staying caught up with your animal's shots.
Just like your own health insurance, you want to make sure your animal is covered before he or she needs veterinary services. Some common animal surgeries can cost thousands of dollars, and you don't want to end up having to foot a surprise bill that costs more than your paycheck.
There's no set price for pet health insurance. Costs can depend on factors such as where you live, the age and breed of your pet, and how much coverage you want. Before you take out a pet insurance policy, you'll want to meet with your vet to go over what he or she thinks your animal should be covered for. Many vets believe that you should make sure cancer, chronic disease, hereditary and congenital disease, and common breed-related medical conditions are all addressed in your policy.
Some pet owners can't afford insurance for their pet, so there are other options to make paying for surprise pet visits as easy as possible. Some pet stores have wellness plans - which tend to be much cheaper than an insurance policy - that offer shots, check ups, screenings and discounts on various procedures your pet may need. A lot of veterinary offices offer payment plans for pricey procedures as well, as long as you have decent credit history. For a last-ditch option, there are even privately funded organizations that offer pet owners financial aid for their pet's treatments.

Automation and integration of systems are the keys to success in today's fast-paced, global sales environment. To remain competitive, companies need solutions that deliver accurate and approved quotes to prospects in a timely manner. Incumbent homegrown solutions and Excel spreadsheets often slow down processes and deliver inaccurate proposals.
Sales organizations want to drive bigger and better business value through optimized selling strategies. Enterprise-grade CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) systems allow users to provide faster, error-free quotes and proposals that align with customer expectations, reducing the average sales time and maximizing sales efficiency.
Enabling a complex business process should not make the user's life more complicated. In this slideshow, Model N has outlined five ways that sales teams can benefit from CPQ solutions.

|The Philosophy
|Moon Magnet is the latest incarnation of a house with a storied past of creativity and innovation. Two years ago Derrick Bozich moved into a house in Denver's Baker District with Reed Fuchs, Clay Cornelius, & Karl Rivers. The house was called Snozberry Studios at the time and Matt Tanner previously ran a studio in the basement before moving to Portland. In school Reed learned that it's not the studio or gear, but the producer who brings the best qualities out of an artist. Regardless of gear limitations at the time, he started Moon Magnet Studios in the basement. Anna Smith lived at Moon Magnet that summer and during her stay everyone's dreams of starting a label & artist collective became a reality. They began using the label as a way to release their friend's records: Ancient Elk, Grease Pony, Wild High, déCollage, and many more. Last October, Derrick & Reed started meeting up with Neil Lyons every week and envisioned a plan for Moon Magnet Publishing. They launched it in May of 2014 and have since sealed multiple placements in local film productions. Moon Magnet is an artist collective with a lot of branches; it's an umbrella with a multiverse of people under it. Inside Moon Magnet you can sing & dance endlessly, or learn how to rap & beat box from Karl Rivers, or dream of being an actor or producer and then shoot your first short film.
Moon Magnet is a place where artists can be themselves and express freely
It's a house with about eight bands practicing in it between recording sessions throughout the week. Moon Magnet's spirit of endless possibilities can be experienced at the Meadowlark shows they throw every 2nd & 4th Wednesday or their Circuit Bending Nights every 3rd Wednesday. Moon Magnet strives to inspire musician's to try new things and promotes a "you can do anything with practice; barriers are mostly mental" DIY ethos.
|Moon Magnet's Family of Bands and Recent Releases
|The 10th release on Moon Magnet includes some of our friends remixing Retrofette's new single, Need To Know Your Name, including Snubluck, OptycNerd X Levi Double U, & Tyler Snow.
|Featuring members of Rubedo, Rose Quartz, Wild High, A Mac-DZ, Ancient Elk, and Turner Jackson. déCollage performed with of Montreal & Diane Coffee Oct 28th and released Psycholodge EP through Moon Magnet's Lunadrifter, the label's custom smart phone app from Ghost Time Games. It's synesthetic and you won't ever play the song the same twice.
|Moon Magnet has collected some nebular gems for their third compilation, featuring music from a few of the collective's favorite Denver and national artists. With the goal of instigating a sonic vortex for listeners to teleport through the matrix of the multiverse, Compilation #3 is a collection of 7 tracks, 5 of which are unreleased.
|Grease Pony is a Denver based collection of musicians/artists comprised of 3 animals by the names of Jackson Hillmer, Derrick Bozich, and Hunter Roberts.
|Wild High is a 4 piece rock and roll band from the Mile High City that is moving people with their emotional and groove-laden music.
|Moon Magnet Comp. Vol. 2 is a shimmering collection of ultrasonic territory via Denver, CO. This compilation features songs from artists who practice or record at Moon Magnet Studios, in addition to a selection of bedazzled favorites. Kowabunga! Evoke the inner spacekid.
|Ancient Elk represents a synthesis of various sounds that have informed a wide spectrum of musical styles that have been running through Denver. Reconciling seemingly incompatible ideas from its members differing backgrounds, the band threads together Americana, psychedelic rock, jazz and experimental music in an original way that is also incredibly accessible.
|Black Umbrellas is the brainchild of Moon Magnet producer and co-founder Derrick Bozich. Offering chillwave lo-fi experimental music from deep within the vortex.
|Surrealist Adventure Music: A crystal prism you twirl around in your minds eye, watching, unfolding in sonic Technicolor.
|If Salvador Dali's paintings were translated into music, they would sound like déCollage

Mushroom Broccoli Pizza Recipe
"I wouldn't say I'm a vegetarian, but I do like meatless entrees," says Kathleen Kelly of Roseburg, Oregon. "Since I enjoy gardening, I often cook with homegrown veggies."
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 4 plum tomatoes, sliced lengthwise
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; mix well. Combine whole wheat flour and salt; stir into yeast mixture until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
- 2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
- 3. Punch dough down. Press onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a 12-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Prick dough several times with a fork. Bake at 425° for 6-8 minutes.
- 4. Place broccoli in a steamer basket; place in a saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 5-6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Transfer broccoli to a colander. Rinse with cold water; drain and set aside.

Rays deserved to win, Nelson Cruz did not
It's silly to think baseball gods actually exist, in that any god would have bigger matters to oversee than nine innings in Arlington, Texas. But when a flabby-looking Nelson Cruz swung and bounced a grounder to shortstop for the game's final out, consider it karma of some sort.
As one of the Biogenesis Bums who served 50-game suspensions for their roles in Major League Baseball's latest performance-enhancing-drugs scandal, Cruz shouldn't have been allowed to participate in the American League wild-card tiebreaker game. Commissioner Bud Selig, whose departure from office cannot come soon enough, timed the suspensions so that Cruz, Detroit's Jhonny Peralta and other punished juicers could return for the postseason if their teams qualified, which absurdly minimizes the impact of their original penalties. I don't care what the Players Association says. This was an instance where Selig's sweeping powers should have prevailed, simply because you don't want a summer cheater becoming an autumn hero.
But October needn't worry about Cruz. After receiving a standing ovation from a morally challenged crowd of yahoos -- ``Cruuuuuzz!!!'' they chanted -- the Rangers slugger went 0 for 4 and helped his team not a bit in a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, who again advanced to the playoffs as one of the sport's shining examples of high-efficiency, low-cost fun and success.
The concern was that Cruz would return and immediately light up Rays ace David Price, who entered with horrendous career numbers -- 1-7 and 6.62 ERA -- against the Rangers. Cruz had been part of that 11-game barrage, batting 9-for-21 with three home runs against Price. ``It was a no-brainer,'' gushed Rangers manager Ron Washington, who inserted him in the sixth hole as the designated hitter. ``It's the threat. It's the presence. It's what he does for everybody else just being in that lineup. It's awesome.''
Actually, it was nauseating. But what always has been impressive about the Rays, as they prosper in the relative obscurity of a tin-can-looking dome in St. Petersburg, is how they don't care about much of anything but focusing professionally on a ballgame and then partying in the clubhouse afterward like loons. Here in Game No. 163, for the right to play Wednesday night in Cleveland for the right to play the Boston Red Sox in an AL divisional series, they shrugged off the possibility that a scandalized PED villain could beat them.
``He's served his suspension," Evan Longoria said. ``It is what it is. Justice has been served."
``My job is to get my players ready. He's served his punishment, and he's eligible to play,'' manager Joe Maddon said. ``I can't worry about that. I spend most of my energy on things like the bullpen.''
It's this very philosophy of chill -- along with Maddon's quirky fixation with gnomes, American Legion Post banners and live animals in the clubhouse -- that allows the Rays to relax and achieve an equilibrium in win-or-die moments. Rather than wilt amid the national recitation of his painful statistics, Price pitched like the Cy Young Award winner and not a Sigh Young loser. He didn't have his best stuff. But he did have his pickoff move -- twice nailing Texas baserunners, once with the help of first baseman's James Loney's strategic shoe block -- and he did have the athleticism to make a terrific scoop-and-throw in the same motion for a critical late out. Maddon rode his ace to the very end, refusing to risk the circus act that is Fernando Rodney in the ninth inning.
And Price prevailed with a complete-game victory, complimented by a two-run homer by Longoria, who has an incredible knack of ripping long balls in the final games of regular seasons (.579, seven homers, 10 RBIs). How fitting that the two stars carried the Rays past a bigger-money team that has been on a steady nose-dive since coming within one pitch of a World Series title two years ago. How appropriate, too, that Price and Longoria immediately locked eyes and hugged after Cruz and the Rangers were purged from the proceedings.
``He just told me that he had a dream about it," Longoria told the media. ``It was awesome to feel that emotion from him. That's what an ace does, a leader of a staff does. It was awesome to watch."
Indeed, Price had visualized finishing out a complete game and celebrating with Longoria. ``You're probably supposed to go to your catcher first, but for what he's done for us and what he's done for me personally," he said. ``I think about that type of stuff before I pitch all the time, but for it to happen today. I didn't want to text him when I thought about it. I didn't want to jinx it."
This is what the Rays do. They live their dreams.
This is where the Rays thrive. They scratch and sniff and survive.
This is how the Rays win. They play through b.s. and let nothing bother them, such as the terrible call in the seventh when Delmon Young was ruled out on a ball that the diving center fielder, Leonys Martin, obviously didn't catch, costing the Rays at least one run. Back in April, remember, they lost in Texas on a brutal third-strike call against Ben Zobrist by plate ump Marty Foster. Thank heavens a more elaborate video replay system starts next season, though it stands to burn a team or two this postseason, as usual.
So, the national darlings who get little love from their home region advance to a wild-card game in Cleveland, poised to ride Alex Cobb past the Indians and continue their crazy road trip to Boston, where Matt Moore and Price would pitch the first two games. They have vanquished their demons in Texas, against the team that eliminated them from the playoffs in 2010 and 2011. And they have done America a big favor and terminated Nelson Cruz, not that the Rays really cared.

Adam Sandler will give voice to Dracula in 'Hotel Transylvania'
Adam Sandler is gathering some scary pals for the 3D family comedy "Hotel Transylvania" for Sony Pictures Animation. Sandler will voice the lead role of Dracula in a new take on classic movie monsters.
Other famous voices include Kevin James (as Frankenstein), Fran Drescher (the Bride), David Spade (Quasimodo), Cee Lo Green (the Mummy), and Andy Samberg as Jonathan, a 21-year-old regular guy, who checks in for one unforgettable night at the Hotel. Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon will also voice roles.
The film will be directed by animation vet Genndy Tartakovsky ("Samurai Jack," "Star Wars: Clone Wars").
Over-protective dad Dracula (Sandler) creates the five-star resort Hotel Transylvania as a secluded getaway for famous monsters and their families, including his teenage daughter, Mavis. But things start to go awry when a normal young man (Samberg) stumbles upon the hotel and falls for Mavis.
Sounds pretty bland, but the presence of Tartakovsky is promising.
Sandler was recently seen in "Just Go With it," co-starring Jennifer Aniston. He'll soon star for Sony in both title roles of "Jack and Jill," set for release November 11, 2011, and is currently shooting "I Hate You, Dad," with Andy Samberg and Leighton Meester.
Sandler's last foray into feature animation was the 2D flop "8 Crazy Nights" in 2002.
"We're thrilled to be working with Adam to create a comedic Dracula for a new generation," said Sony's Raimo-Kouyate. "We have a unique story about that iconic character, starring a phenomenal cast directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, that re-imagines Transylvania and its legendary monsters in the way that only animation can."
"Hotel Transylvania" is set to be released September 21, 2012, by Columbia Pictures.

Sandler and friends reunite for lazy, unfunny sequel
Despite being lambasted by critics, 2010's "Grown Ups" was an enormous hit, grossing $162 million domestically and another $109 million worldwide. It stands to reason that "Grown Ups 2" will do just as well — even though it's made for home viewing when you're flipping channels late at night and nothing else is on.
Once again, producer/co-writer/star Adam Sandler decided to gather all his friends and hang out for a few months — and get a major studio to pay for their get-together. Sometimes you wonder if they even knew (or cared) that cameras were rolling. »Read Full Article(4)

Emirati airline Etihad Airways has signed a 10-year strategic partnership with SITA for the company's IT needs. The deal aims to reduce the airline's IT costs as well as build new customer-focused services and use new devices to improve customer services. As cloud computing becomes increasingly available, airlines can deploy a raft of new services and applications aimed at lowering costs and personalising customer service. BMI notes Middle Eastern airlines are rapidly getting on board with the trend.
The Etihad/SITA announcement coincides with research released by SITA and the Airline Business IT Trends Survey that suggests all airlines will invest in IT services and platforms over the next three years. The investment plans look at two key areas; improving operations and better use of da ta. Improved operations include capturing the growing demand for mobile passenger services, allowing passengers to use their mobile devices for check-in and booking. With the majority of passengers able to fly owning a mobile device, the use of handsets and tablets as alternatives to paper tickets and check-in has the potential to cut costs, while also speeding up processes for customers.
|Strong Potential For A Range Of Industries
|Middle East Cloud Computing Growth (%)
The SITA research also highlighted the potential for data analytics, allowing companies to understand even more about individual clients, further tailoring their services for individual customer needs. Better analysis of data aims to improve the way airlines offer their services and should also lead to cost reductions in the longer term, Etihad's CEO James Hogan said.
The SITA research is further backed by a partnership between Kuwait Airlines and Microsoft to deploy the latter's software products. Again, the key aims of the deal are to offer better services to clients and improve efficiency. Both the Kuwait Airlines and Etihad deals also look to leverage the growing availability of cloud computing. With employees needing access to services from a number of locations, cloud computing makes a lot of sense for airlines to ensure everyone has access to the latest data when needed.
Demand for the latest consumer devices and continually expanding roll-outs of telecoms infrastructure support these trends to invest in the IT services and software that build better customer relationships. BMI believes the Middle East is well placed to take advantage of these trends, with customers eager to get their hands on the latest mobile handsets and tablets, a trend that should encourage self check-in and mobile ticketing. While cloud computing remains a relatively small segment of the IT market at present, BMI expects there to be many new investors from different industries including airlines that will drive growth over our forecast period.

Rested Bruins prepare
LOS ANGELES – College football won't have a playoff until 2014, but for Brett Hundley, the post-bye weeks feel similar.
"It's almost like a new season. ... These last five games are basically playoffs," the UCLA quarterback said. "Everybody says they remember you for what you do in November, so these five games are going to be a big-time test."
The Bruins (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12) have assembled what Hundley called a "cool little record," but the heart of the conference schedule starts Saturday with a visit to Arizona State.
Coach Jim Mora praised the Sun Devils defense for its aggressive pass rush and disciplined secondary. The impressive unit has allowed just 913 passing yards on the season, fewer than any other team in the country.
However, it might be without star defensive tackle Will Sutton, the Pac-12 leader in tackles for loss (14.0) and runner-up in sacks (7.5).
The redshirt junior left his team's blowout loss to Oregon on Thursday because of a knee injury; the issue appears minor, but his status is uncertain.
If Mora crossed his fingers, he hid them well; the coach said his defense would prepare the same way regardless.
"You change things just a little bit, but you can't just make wholesale changes to your scheme, especially in regards to your blocking pattern," he said. "You've got to have emphasis on him, but we've got to do our thing."
The Ducks might have provided some tips for success. The reigning Rose Bowl champions gashed Arizona State for 406 rushing yards, and the 43-21 final score could have been far worse.
Hundley could use some help in his first official homecoming.
For Hundley, from nearby Chandler, Ariz., the Bruins' trip to Tempe will be the first chance for many of his family and friends to see him play.
To do so, he will have to secure them some tickets first.
"I've been asking everybody," he said. "I've got to try to get as many as possible. I'm hoping for 20, but I'm pushing a lot more."
He didn't specify how many he has collected but said he had a ways to go.
There isn't, by the way, any ASU memorabilia around his house; his father attended Arizona and tried to raise a Wildcat.

EatingWell.com offers Pecan and Mushroom burgers as well as Curried Cashew Burgers at eatingwell.com/recipes_menus/recipe_slideshows/vegetarian_burger_recipes?slide=4#view_toggles ) - Bison burgers: They offer some savings in terms of calories and fat compared with traditional beef burgers. A 4-ounce TenderBison Bison Burger (frozen) has 220 calories and 11 grams of fat (5 saturated). The Bun Buns can add anywhere from 110 to 180 calories. A regular 1.5-ounce white hamburger bun has about 110 calories, but kaiser rolls are normally higher at 180 calories. For more fiber, try to get 100 percent whole-grain buns but just because the package says wheat doesn't mean it's 100 percent whole grain. Make sure "whole grains" is the first ingredient. Burger Extras Watch out for the obvious: fries, potato chips (150 calories per handful), coleslaw (more than 250 calories per cup), pasta salad (depending on ingredients, you're looking at 400 to 500 calories per cup), etc. All these "sides" are typically very high in calories and can turn your barbecue into a diet disaster. Instead of chips or fries, make your own grilled potatoes. (see: dietdetective.com/calorie-bargains/more-calorie-bargains) Or try this recipe from EatingWell.com (eatingwell.com/recipes/grilled_potato_packets.html) Toppings and CondimentsInstead of cheese (70 to 120 calories per deli slice plus cheese is high in saturated fat), add lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles or even celery to your burgers. Or try "lite" or reduced-fat cheese. Fat-free single-serving slices have about 30 calories each. Also, look for cheeses that are not reduced fat but are thinly sliced (they're typically less than an ounce with only about 40 to 60 calories per slice). For great flavor and virtually no extra calories, top your burger with tomatoes marinated in red wine vinegar, fresh basil, a drop of olive oil, salt and cracked black pepper. And add some pickled red onions or pickled peppers, says Greeley. Avoid mayo (100 calories per tablespoon) and stick to ketchup, mustard or even steak sauce. At 30 calories per tablespoon, barbecue sauce has twice as many calories as ketchup or steak sauce (15 calories). Those extra calories can add up fast if you're not paying attention. If you dump 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce on your burger and fries, well, you've just eaten 240 extra calories. Food Safety
Most food-safety experts agree that mad cow disease poses only a minuscule risk to U.S. consumers. However, food poisoning is another story. You can get food poisoning if you don't handle your meats carefully. Here are a few tips: - Prevent cross-contamination that is, don't let raw meat, fish or poultry touch foods that won't be cooked, such as lettuce. Never use the same knife or cutting board without washing it first. - Cook foods to the proper internal temperature (160 degrees Fahrenheit for ground meats and pork; 170 for poultry breasts; 165 for leftovers, casseroles and ground poultry). - Wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds after handling raw meat or poultry.

So sorry eveyone, I had this problem and posted earlier and I don't have good news. Tried all of the listed solutions, redownloaded the FN key software, reset my computer to a previous date's settings, ect. ect. I ended up having to take it in to a shop and pay to get it fixed, in my case it was a core software problem that was only solved when the reinstalled the software (not sure exactly for what). It took about three days to digure out...
Guess what? There is a switch! What I thought were indicator lights above the keys on the keyboard, are actually buttons. The lighted wireless symbol is an on/off button for your wireless. I found this out after calling Toshiba Tech Support, which my Wife says I should have done in the first place. Hope this helps others.
I really don't know why Toshiba isn't more clear about the buttons at the top, the I/O panel. I have a P770 and for a while I had that line all lit up, that's all I thought they were for, so you could see them better. Then I had troubles getting Wi-fi. And all along they were always asking for me to turn the button in the lower right corner on. There was no button!!! And I never made the connection between tapping the Wireless icon to turn Wireless on or off until I finally talked to Toshiba, even if she wasn't a native English speaker she was 100% helpful.
Reading your User's Guide, page 116 would have explained that to you. It would be worth your while to read the whole thing. You'll find it at Start/All Programs/My Toshiba/User's Guide.
You are correct (almost). It is on page 111 of my manual, and it refers to the row of buttons as "Media control buttons". Doesn't really sound like wireless controls, so I skipped right past it the first time. Had I read all 250 pages in detail I would have found it. I will definitely try that first next time.
OK I've the same problem: A satellite L655D-S5110. After flashing the bios to 2.0 received message that installation of wifi & network drivers failed. Result to WiFi. 2 excruciating interchanges with so-called customer support achieved nada (is there an email address to evaluate them?). So I've now reset the computer (remove battery, &c) still no wifi. Tried to install tc000290100s.exe (TVAP) but it tries to reinstall Rosetta Stone even if I clear the temp directory or install from a different directory.
Now What?
Go back to BIOS v1.70 or 1.50. Go to the following link, click on the + sign next to the 2.0 bios entry and then click on 1.7 or 1.5. This has worked for lots of others in the same boat.
Tried that ... didn't work ... reflashed to 2.0. What's the date on your RealTek WiFi driver?
Mine is 4/27/10 but I have a L675D.
Well I got over the install.exe problem by renaming all other install.exes. Bad programming that Toshiba does set first directory in search path as working directory, but not asbad aas not testing that new biewrs.oses have all the hooks for device drivers.
I'm running RealTek RTL8188CE dated 7/12/11
None of the things suggested above or in some of the other threads about this have worked. I have studied them at length. The only think I did not do is reinstall from scratch. I was getting ready to do just that, but I went into safe mode for something else. I don't even remember what. While in safe mode, just for the heck of it, I hit the FN key, but it did nothing. Next I tried the wireless button above the key board. Did I see the light come one for a second? Hit it again and the wireless light came on. YEA!!!!!!!!!
While I was in safe mode, I ran a virus check again and it turned up "Corrupted executable file Object" that was moved to Virus Vault. I have no idea if it had anything to do with it. Running a complete system virus check was one of the first things I did when I had a problem, but it found nothing then.
I had also updated the Bios to 1.80 about a week before the problem appeared. I had up dated the Bios again to 1.90 two days before getting it working without any changes to the wireless.
Wish I could tell you exactly how or what fixed the problem. Was it as simple as just needing to start in Safe Mode and turn it on? That seems to simple. Any way I hope this may help someone else. What a Pain!!! Other wise I love my laptop.
Steve M645-S4070
Thanks everyone!
Greetings, I have a C655-s5056 and I have the exact same problem with the wireless not working at all... Device mgr does not list it, nothing in Bios for it, did reset, re-downliaded files as listed in this forum, looked all over for a switch... and nothing. The icon pops up for a brief second when loading the desktop then cuts off. I am all out of options as this laptop does not have a partition to reload windows. Please help (Win7 Home Prem x64)
I have the same problem described by several others here:
Wireless was working fine until a month or so ago. No wireless network adaptor in Device Manager. All flash cards present except F8. I have restored back to factory settings, done the 30 second battery reset, installed the updated WLAN driver and verified that wireless services are on in the setup utility. Still no luck. I was convinced that it was a hardware issue, but find it strange that so many people are experiencing the same issues.
No idea which WLAN card I have - i guess I could open it up and check?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks Steve! That fixed my problem! So all I did was go into safe mode and pushed the wireless connect button at the top of the keyboard and the orange wireless light came on! I then restarted the computer and it stayed on and connected to my wireless network with no problems! Thanks Again!
Hello, I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L555D - S7930 And I have the same problem, when I press FN+F8 Nothing Happens. I was playing around one day and I pressed And held FN And At The Top It Showed all the buttons you could press and what they will do, but it did not show F8, and I reset the flash cards and did it again and it still did not work!
Ps: Its a 32-bit operating system.
Help!!!! i have the same trouble mi laptop is satellite m645 sp4131l, system 64 bits
Sattelite L645D-S4025 - Windows 7 HE 64 bit
I have a problem with my WLAN. I have tried switching it on in the flash card-menu, but even when the flash cards show it to be switched on, the light indicator is out and no networks can be found.
Realtek RTL8191SE is shown in the device manager and appears to be working - no problems are detected by Windows. I have tried reinstalling the driver repeatedly, and have tried windows recovery from a time (I am pretty sure) it was working.
After reading the first couple of pages of this thread, I have tried switching back on the flash cards, a basic system reset, and Microsoft Fix-it unsuccesfully.
I think the problem started after a Windows update.
Thank you,

Bios: 1.40 (Most current AFAIK)
Satellite 5205-S705
Windows XP SP3
Wireless networks not found. Wireless card is present in Device manager
I need some help please.
I have a Toshiba Satellite 5205-S705 (older laptop). It had a corrupt operating system so I did a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 Professional. I installed all the drivers from the Toshiba website and let windows install all updates. Currently Device manager is clear and there are no yellow/red items.
My issue is the wireless card is not able to see or connect to any wireless networks.
Things I have tried.
Installed drivers again
Rolled back drivers
Turned switch on front left of computer from off to on (several times)
Uninstalled the device in device manager
Removed and reseated wireless card
Rebooted computer after each of the above remedies
I am starting to think the wireless card itself is bad. I did some Google searching and someone mentioned that the Professional edition of Win XP will not work with the Wireless drivers unless there is a patch applied. I cannot find this patch anywhere.
The switch is in the ON position and I have an orange light. The wireless icon in the taskbar is there and when i click on it, it just says no wireless networks are in range. I know for a fact there are 10+ wireless networks in range.
Is there something I am missing or is the wireless card bad?
Thanks in advance

Headphone Amplifier
Rod Elliott (ESP)
Firstly, I'd like to stress that the intended use of this circuit is only one of many possible applications. Apart from the obvious usage as a headphone amplifier, the circuit can be used for a range of applications where a wide bandwidth low power amplifier is needed. Some of the options include ...
In short, the amp can be used anywhere that you need an opamp with more output current than normally available. Since most are rated for around ±20-50mA, general purpose opamps are not suitable for driving long cables or anywhere else that a relatively high output current is needed.
As a headphone amplifier, this design is very similar to others on the ESP site, but the main difference is that this one (and P70) has been built and fully tested. The design is fairly standard, and every variation was checked out before arriving at the final circuit. A photo of the board is shown below, and at only 76 x 42mm (3 x 1.6 inches) it is very small - naturally, the heatsink is not included in the dimensions.
The amplifier is capable of delivering around 1.5W into 8 ohm headphones, and 2.2W into 32 ohms - this is vastly more than will ever be needed in practice. The use of a 120 Ohm output resistor is recommended, as this is supposed to be the standard source impedance for headphones. Many users have found that their 'phones perform better when driven from a low impedance source. The 'standard' is IEC 61938 (1996), but many modern headphones seem to be designed for far less than 120 ohm source impedance. In some cases, the optimum source impedance is zero ohms (or very close to it), so don't use an output resistor if your 'phones need a low impedance drive.
P113 Headphone Amplifier Board
The circuit is based on an opamp, with its output current boosted by a pair of transistors. Distortion is well below my measurement threshold at all levels below clipping into any impedance. Noise is virtually non-existent - even with a compression driver held to my ear, I could barely hear any, and I couldn't hear any with headphones.
Headphones are rated in dB SPL at 1mW, and this amplifier (like many other similar headphone amps) is capable of producing extreme SPLs. The
levels obtainable are sufficient to cause almost instantaneous permanent hearing damage! Never operate the amp at very high levels, and never switch the
amplifier on with signal while wearing your headphones.
Note the warning above - this is serious. Most headphones are capable of at least 94dB SPL at 1 mW, with some as high as 107dB SPL. Even 10mW is enough to create sound levels capable of causing hearing damage, so you must be very careful to avoid damaging levels.
|Continuous dB SPL
|Maximum Exposure Time
|8 hours
|4 hours
|2 hours
|1 hour
|30 minutes
|15 minutes
|7.5 minutes
|< 4 minutes
|< 2minutes
|~ 1 minute
|~ 30 seconds
Note that the exposure time is for any 24 hour period, and is halved for each 3dB SPL above 85dB. The above shows the accepted standards for recommended permissible exposure time for continuous time weighted average noise, according to NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and CDC (Centres for Disease Control) [1]. Although these standards are US based, they apply pretty much equally in most countries - hearing loss does not respect national boundaries.
The amplifier itself is fairly conventional, and is very similar to another shown on this site (see Project 24). This amplifier does not include the active volume control, because in general it is far easier to get a good log pot (or simply 'fake' the pot's law as described in Project 01). Likewise, it does not include the cross-feed described in Project 109. If this is desired, it is very easy to implement on a small piece of tag board, or even 'sky hook' the few components off the bypass switch. Full details of how to do this will be included in the construction guide when PCBs are available.
The output transistors are biased using only resistors, rather than constant current sources. Extensive testing showed that using current sources made no discernible difference to performance, but increased the complexity and PCB size. Using separate caps for each biasing diode does make a difference though - and although it is relatively minor, the use of the two caps is justified (IMO).
The bias diodes should be 1N4148 or similar - power diodes are not recommended, as their forward voltage is too low. This may result in distortion around the crossover region, where one transistor turns off and the other on. As shown, crossover distortion is absolutely unmeasurable with the equipment I have available.
Figure 1 - Headphone Amplifier Circuit Diagram
Above is the schematic of one channel. Resistors and caps use the suffix 'R' for the right channel. The second half of the dual opamp powers the right channel. Note that the volume control shown is optional, and is not on the PCB. If needed, it may be mounted in a convenient location and the output connected to the inputs of the board as shown.
One of the reasons the amp is so quiet is that the entire board runs from a regulated supply, so hum (in particular) is eliminated. Although an unregulated supply can be used, this is not recommended. The supply should be separate from that used for your preamp, because of the relatively high non-linear current drawn by the amplifier (at least with low impedance 'phones). A P05 preamp supply can be used, and will ensure optimum performance. The board can be operated from lower supply voltages than shown, but less than ±9V isn't recommended. If a lower supply voltage is used, reduce the value of R5 and R6 (L & R), calculated to provide a current of not less than 2mA.
The prototype amplifier has flat frequency response from 10Hz to over 100kHz. Distortion is below my measurement threshold with any level or load impedance, and output impedance is almost immeasurably low. Your headphones may be designed to operate from a 120Ω source impedance (many are), so this may be added if it improves sound quality. Adding any series resistance will reduce the available power, but it is already far greater than you can use. Without series resistance, the minimum power into various load impedances is given below (based on ±15V supplies).
|Power (Direct)
|120 Ohm Feed
|8 Ohms
|35 mW
|32 Ohms
|99 mW
|65 Ohms
|136 mW
|120 Ohms
|595 mW
|149 mW
|300 Ohms
|238 mW
|121 mW
|600 Ohms
|119 mW
|82 mW
This may not include all headphones, but will cover the majority in common use. In all cases, the available power is far more than needed ... not so you can damage your hearing, but to allow adequate headroom for transients and to ensure that the circuit operates within its most linear region. In particular, look at the power output into all impedances with no limiting resistor. The available power is more than sufficient to cause irreparable damage to your hearing and your headphones.
Feel free to increase the value of R7 and R8 (L&R) to 10 ohms, as this will reduce the available output power. It won't affect the output impedance, but reduces the current that can be drawn by the load. Especially if you intend to use the P113 with no output resistor, it will be beneficial to reduce the gain. The minimum I'd recommend is around 12.7dB (a voltage gain of 4.3), and this requires that R4L and R4R are reduced to 3.3k.
A pair of 32 ohm headphones that I tried was quite loud enough, with an average output voltage of 60mV RMS, amounting to a power of 112µW. I could hear no noise when the signal was disconnected, even though the P113 board was just sitting on my workbench with no shielding of any kind.
As noted, PCBs are available for this project, and this is the recommended way to make the amplifier. While it may be possible to build it using Veroboard or similar, there is a high risk that it will oscillate because of the very wide bandwidth of the amplifier. A capacitor may be added in parallel with R4 (L and R) to reduce the bandwidth if stability problems are encountered. Although I used an NE5532 opamp for the prototype, the circuit will also work with a TL072, but at reduced power. You may also substitute an OPA2134 or LM4562 or your favourite device, taking note of the following ...
The standard pinout for a dual opamp is shown on the left. If the opamps are installed backwards, they will almost certainly fail, so be careful.
The suggested NE5532 opamp was used for the prototype, and performance is exemplary. Devices such as the TL072 will be quite satisfactory for some constructors, but if you prefer to use ultra low noise or wide bandwidth devices, that choice is yours. Note that the opamp used must be unity gain stable. Avoid the LM833, because it is prone to oscillation for no apparent reason.
Construction is fairly critical. Because of the fairly wide bandwidth of the NE5532 and many other high grade audio opamps, the amplifier may oscillate (the original (Veroboard) prototype initially had an oscillation at almost 500kHz), so care is needed to ensure there is adequate separation between inputs and outputs. Even a small capacitive coupling between the two may be enough to cause problems.
As shown in the photo, this amplifier needs a heatsink. While it can operate without one at low power using high impedance headphones, you need to plan for all possibilities (after all, you may purchase low impedance 'phones sometime in the future). The heatsink does not need to be massive, and a piece of 3mm aluminium angle will be fine for normal listening levels. An aluminium bracket may be used to attach to the chassis - I recommend 3mm material. Note that the heatsink should always be earthed (grounded).
The output transistors must be insulated from the heatsink. Sil-Pads™ are quite suitable because of the relatively low dissipation, but greased mica or Kapton can be used if you prefer. If you use the suggested 3mm aluminium, you can drill and tap threads into the heatsink, so there is no need for nuts. The BD139/140 transistors don't need an insulating bush for the screw, because they have an isolated mounting hole.
Connect to a suitable power supply - remember that the supply earth (ground) must be connected! When powering up for the first time, use 56 ohm 'safety' resistors in series with each supply to limit the current in case you have made a mistake in the wiring. These will reduce the supply voltage considerably because of the bias current of the output transistors. These safety resistors aren't essential if you have a dual bench supply with current limiting (and metering) that can limit the maximum current to around 50-100mA, and show you the current.
If the voltage at the amplifier supply pins is greater than ±6V and the output voltage is close to zero, then the amplifier is probably working fine. If you have an oscilloscope, check for oscillation at the outputs ... at all volume control settings. Do this without connecting your headphones - if the amp oscillates, it may damage them.
Once you are sure that all is well, you may remove the safety resistors and permanently wire the amplifier into your chassis.

The Fender B-Bender was designed by Gene Parsons and Meridian Green and is manufactured by the Fender Musical Instrument Company in Corona, California. It is an extremely robust and well-built unit and when properly set up will provide smooth, silent, trouble and maintenance free operation for many years. Fender B-Benders simply do not wear out.
Occasionally problems with the operation of Fender B Bender may arise because of improper assembly or set up. This technical guide is designed to help the guitar technician troubleshoot the cause of problems and assist them with appropriate remedies.
Note: Lubrication to any parts of the device other than the B bridge saddle is never necessary. If squeaking returns or string breakage is experienced, the bridge saddle may need to be carefully filed and smoothed where the B string contacts it or in rare cases replaced. Possible Cause #2: The Return Spring may be rubbing on the side of the Connecting Rod Clevis.Remedy: Bend the end loop of the Return Spring where it attaches to the Clevis Pin so that the Return Spring is not in contact with the side of the Clevis body.Photo B: Return Spring and Clevis
Photo DIf this is indeed the problem, it will be easy to identify even before the unit is removed from the guitar because the B string hole in the String Pulling Pendulum,(visible through the slot in the Back Cover Plate, (see Photo E), will be positioned too far back in the slot to allow the insertion of a new B string without moving the Strap Lever. If the Strap Lever has to be pulled in order to insert a new B string, this is a sure sign that the unit was improperly set up and needs to be adjusted.
Remedy: Shorten the length of the Connecting Rod by removing the screws that secure the Tower, and rotating the Tower and Connecting Rod as a unit so that the Connecting Rod threads farther into the Clevis.
Photo E: Pendulum, exterior view, correctly adjusted and out of adjustmentOne, or two clockwise turns should do the trick. Re-attach the Tower to the Back Cover Plate and check to make sure the Connecting Rod is not touching the Tower when the StringBender is in the "home" position. The unit should function silently and smoothly now when pressure on the Strap Lever is released and the mechanism returns to its "home" position.
Photo F: Tuning mechanism, interior bottom view
Photo G
Possible Cause #4: Tuning Mechanism is loose.
Possible Cause #1: The B string is binding in the B bridge saddle groove.
Possible Cause #2: The B string is binding in the nut.
Possible Cause #3: Tuning problems can result if any of the Parsons/Green, Fender B Bender components are not working absolutely freely without binding, or if any component mounting screws have become loosened, or if there is possibly some foreign object/objects inside the guitar.
If after removing up to six loops from the Return Spring, the tension is still insufficient, a new Return Spring may be necessary.
Some players like more return tension than others. My personal preference is when there is just enough tension for the unit to completely return from any position, (even when the Strap Lever is just slightly pulled up), but no more tension than is necessary. Too much tension will make the Parsons/Green Fender B Bender difficult to use particularly when playing up the neck where there is less leverage available to press down the neck.Problem I: String Breakage (String breaks 1-1/2" inches from string ball)
Where the Fender B Bender is installed in guitar bodies that are thicker than a standard Telecaster body, this should be done during the installation.

Fallout: New Vegas
Is it me, or is the new trainer incompatible with the new Old World Blues DLC? I pressed F1 to activate the trainer in-game and there was this weird On/Off loop sound and none of the options worked while playing.
well, the new trainer (july 7) is still older than Old World Blues (july 18). . so, just have to wait a day or so until they make a new trainer for the new version. . they're usually good at getting a new trainer out FAST.. .
. . that's what I'm doing at least. . waiting, that is
Patch (EDIT: DLC I mean, sorry.) requires (Relies upon the changes.) in 1.4 released earlier and unless there also was a update to the game (Doubtful.) the trainer should be compatible.
(Which means the problem might be elsewhere and not just related to this, of course there could be a exception but the DLC in itself shouldn't affect the game in any way.)

Now-famous Alabama Shakes return with confidence, polish
So much has happened to Alabama Shakes in the past nine months that the band that sold out the Riverside Theater on Friday is in a sense different from the one that sold out the Pabst Theater in March.
Back in March, the Southern rock band anchored by Brittany Howard's bountiful voice had never headlined a show for so many people before. (Credit $10 tickets, frequent RadioMilwaukee airplay and strong endorsements from Adele and trendsetting music writers for the sellout.) Given the size of the crowd of approximately 1,300 people (and the volume of their chatter), the band initially appeared stiff; perhaps the Shakes' nerves were shaky. But when hundreds sang "Hold On" along with Howard, the frontwoman flashed a stunned smile. Clearly it was a sound she hadn't heard before, not on that level. »Read Full Article(3)
Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

Snaggletooth shark
|Snaggletooth shark
|Scientific classification
Agassiz, 1843
|H. elongata
|Binomial name
|Hemipristis elongata
(Klunzinger, 1871)
|Range of the snaggletooth shark
The snaggletooth shark, or fossil shark (Hemipristis elongata), is a species of weasel shark, in the family Hemigaleidae, and the only extant member of the genus Hemipristis. It is found in the Indo-West Pacific, including the Red Sea, from southeast Africa to the Philippines, north to China, and south to Australia, at depths of from 1 to 130 m. This shark can be found near the bottom of the water column of coastal areas, but can be found at continental and insular shelves.[1] Its length is up to 240 cm (7.87 ft) .[2] Despite being only vulnerable to extinction, this shark is very rarely seen.
The snaggletooth's coloration is light grey or bronze with no prominent markings. As its name suggests, it has sharp, serrated teeth on the upper jaw and hooked teeth on the bottom jaw. The shape of its body is fusiform, allowing it greater speed in the water.[3]
Reproduction is a special kind of viviparity, called placental viviparity. This is when the shark carries its live young in a placental-like structure, complete with umbilical cord. The placenta structure is derived from the wall of the embryonic yolk sac that has fused with the uterine wall.[4]
The Snaggletooth shark preys on a variety of different animals, including bony fish, other sharks, ray, crabs and cephalopods.[5][3][6]
Commercial uses[edit]
There is a fishery for this shark, where sharks are usually caught by fishing trawlers (a type of fishing boat), or by gill nets. Fins are used in the shark fin soup trade in China, and other Asian countries. The meat is sold for consumption, the liver used as a source for vitamins and the rest of the carcass is processed into fish meal.[2]

This one isn't so funny but more weird :P. I was dating a woman, didn't speak for a few days because of work and stuff, then asked for her to come over... she was blind and old! (well I think she was blind... she had these big, black glasses on that cover a lot of her face). We're both very old now lol :P
Lol a fire started!?! And sure i'll read your thread! :D

Well, it was funny to me because I've never in my life killed a sim before. Took her to the Pity Park with hunger and sleep both in the red, and just kept tapping the A button while the green ring was over the boombox that's in the little barn.
She shook her booty to death.
The Grim Reaper was not amused.
I laughed anyway.

my sims hunger was low so i was going to make waffles but he started making them right before the work car came he had just put them in the oven when i canceled it so he could go to work next thing i know is my house is on fire i had no fire alarm and i didnt want to leave work cause i was close to a promotion 1st thing i did after the fire was out is buy a fire alarm
also i went over to the neighbours before and went to sleep on there couch and all of them came over for a few seconds and just stared at me and then walked away
and i got stuck in a bath tub before just go to a different lot and tell your sim to go there worked for me
I had a sim clean up some spoiled grilled cheese and after putting the food in the dishwasher it broke.
The sim who was just put the food in the dishwasher looked genuinely disappointed.
Another one of my sims came over and started cheering and applauding the broken dishwasher.
