HACKLEBURG, Alabama - Hackleburg's scars are still plentiful and difficult to miss:
Its children attend school in trailers;
Its residents shop for groceries in neighboring towns. The spot where the Piggly Wiggly once stood remains empty.
Hundreds of leafless trees reach at odd angles toward the sky, resembling a sci-fi movie landscape.
Only a couple of buildings dot Main Street, and one of those has no roof.
And, most obviously and painfully, the graves of 23 people are scattered in local cemeteries, reminders of that day three years ago when Mother Nature brought this tiny town to its knees. But it wouldn't stay there. Not for long.
Long enough to grieve. Long enough to pray. Long enough to plan.
Then Hackleburg went to work.
Now, Mayor Whitey Cochran points out signs of Hackleburg's healing.
"By the end of this year, it won't look like the same place," said Cochran, who has been mayor of the Marion County town of about 1,400 residents for about 18 months.
On April 27, 2011, a day when 62 tornadoes struck Alabama, killing 247 people in one of the deadliest outbreaks in the state's history, an EF5 traveled 132 miles from Mississippi through Franklin, Lawrence, Morgan, Limestone and Madison counties before dissipating in Tennessee. It killed 18 people in Hackleburg's town limits and five others in the neighboring Marion County town of Hamilton. Along the entire path of that single twister, 72 people would die.
The EF5 in Hackleburg
In Hackleburg, the tornado destroyed:
- The high school and elementary school,
- Several churches,
- As many as 500 homes, according to the state Emergency Management Agency,
- The town's police and fire departments,
- The town's main employer: VF Corp., a distribution plant for Wrangler jeans,
- The only doctor's office,
- The only pharmacy,
- The only grocery store,
- The hardware store downtown,
- Farmland and vegetation,
- Miles of roads.
It seemed almost too much for one small town. But three years later, progress is beginning to show.
A new fire station was already completed downtown.
VF Corp., assisted by funds from the state of Alabama, worked quickly to rebuild so that the 150 residents it employed would have jobs. Two years after the tornadoes, it reopened on the same site.
"We've come a long way," Cochran said. "The governor has been great about helping us. I can't say enough about how much he has helped.
By the end of this year, he says, the town will have:
- A $22 million kindergarten-12th grade school.
- An Associated Wholesale Grocer.
- The town's first sewerage system built using $5 million in government funds. A pre-construction meeting will be May 1.
- $874,000 in newly paved streets.
- A new city hall and police station. Once it's completed, the current city hall will be used as a multi-purpose building.
- A pavilion in the downtown area.
- A downtown daycare center.
- An entrepreneur is renovating the old brick bank building, the only downtown historic building to survive the storm, into a restaurant called "The Vault," Cochran said.
The human cross
Residents of Hackleburg commemorate the day that changed their town forever by gathering to form human cross on Alabama Highway 43 where the EF5 tore its path at 210 mph through town. In conjunction with its annual Neighbors Day Festival on Saturday, residents will gather Friday, April 25, 2014, to commemorate the April 27 tornado outbreak with a human cross then walk to Memorial Park, where they will read aloud the names of those who died.
Those who were killed in Hackleburg include:
Bridget Barnwell Brisbois, 34
Robbie Cox, 68
Tina Donais, 37
Chris Dunn, 32
Charles Tommy Garner, 75
Mae Garner, 79
Ed Hall, 53
Teresa Gay Hall, 50
Kaarlo Jokela, 76
Donna Lee "Leah" Jokela, 77
Freddie Lollie, 81
Vickey Lollie, 55
John Lynch
Cledis Inez McCarley, 69
Vicki Lynn McKee, 47
Faye O'Kelley, 70
Rodney Gene Ables, 51
Ken Vaughn, 24
Those killed in Hamilton were:
Michelle Brown, 43
Tammy Johnson, 52
Jacob Ralph Ray, 5
Virginia Revis, 53
Jeanette Cochran Wideman, 52

what are your thoughts on getting started on the baroque trumpet?
Models? 3 or 4 vents?
Price range?
perhaps. I borrowed Ed's 3 hole Monke and just loved the sound. I'd love to get one if I can sell a few (ha) of my extra horns.
Monke natural trumpets? I've played on some, and the early ones at least, were basically Monkes without valves--the DEG naturals designed by Tony Scodwell are just as accurate, but waay cheaper. Hans Schneider built some killer trompette de tisari, and cheap, too. These instruments, however were built with a "normal" trumpet shank in mind.
As much as I revere the natural players, I revere the modern performances of Bach by Rilling, although his original trumpeters nicknamed their trumpets "Giftspritze" (poison hypodermics) because they had no problem being heard.
Pioneering as they were, these Rilling trumpeters, there was some exciting music made--and I would propose, playing a trumpet by Monke, DEG or Hans Schneider is about as accurate in sound as my Scherzer.
Please enlighten me!
"A tool good enough to be so used and not too good"C.S. Lewis That Hideous Strength
Here in Europe, people is just going to the original -and right- way.
Two holes system: one small to blow, second bigger where the sound is coming out.

Hi Trent-
Hey, hope you get one- you're perfect for it!
I started on a one hole Webb trumpet; then switched to 3 hole Naumann; then moved to a 4 hole Egger. They were all important steps for me in getting to know the instrument, and I learned a lot from each. I might recommend just getting the 3 hole Naumann to start out with (or the 4 holer). The Eggers are also nice, but at 4K are quite pricey at the moment.
I think as far as bells- maybe stick with the Ehe, but the Hass is also nice depending.. Always good to try out a few, but the most important thing is to just jump into it!
happy baroque-ing!
Nate... how did you get into playing the natty?
Hi Tatakata,
I've always liked baroque music and history, so I just decided about 3 1/2 years ago to take the plunge and start learning the instrument. It was a relatively easy change for me, and my first project was the Telemann. Although, just like anything else, one must find the right equipment and dedicate the time, money and energy it takes to reach a high standard. There have been many late nights along that way that I've spent practicing until 2 or 3 AM! I feel very strongly that the sound of the baroque trumpet is closer to the composer's original intent, and thus playing the works on original instruments, at the original pitch of 415, gives us a more authentic interpretation. I haven't really studied the instrument with anyone formally, but I've picked up a ton from other players along the way, and also listened quite a bit to recordings for the style and interpretation. (most influential style-wise were Niklas Eklund's "Art of Baroque Trumpet" vol 1-5)
Back to the Reutter Concerto!
wow, only 3 1/2 years? You sound fantastic Nate!

Yesterday I was pulling some .243 rounds and the threaded cap split in half on impact and half of the cap, the metal piece that hold the case the bullet hit me right in the middle of my forehead. I was wearing safety glasses at the time but it hit me hard enough that if it would have hit me in the eye without the glasses it could have been pretty bad. Just be careful using this tool if you own one. I will let RCBS know about this on Monday.

Homestar Runner really took off, like so many other unexpected successes spawned by the Internet and hordes of bored people. Here's another achievement for Strong Bad to shove in his cap (or mask).
According to developer Telltale, sales of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner on WiiWare have actually doubled since Nintendo announced their new storage solution at this year's Game Developer's Conference. The series began its episodic release in August 2008 and stars Strong Bad himself, along with other characters from Homestarrunner.com.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is best enjoyed with the full five episode "season," like a TV show, and Nintendo's new option to play WiiWare games from SD cards now gives Homestar Runner fans that option.
"Nintendo's new solution really opens the door for players to add to their collection of downloadable games, which is critical for a series with multiple installments," says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. "This is a major step forward for episodic gaming. We're looking forward to even greater success on WiiWare with Strong Bad, as well as other projects."

The Nature of Community
Ubiquity, Invisibility We might think of community as something external to our life, something extra. We have our car, our home, our job, and then we have our neighbors, our coworkers: our community. But community is not just the people who live next door or who work in the same office, it is also the people who pave our roads, who work at the power plant, who grow the lettuce we eat and truck it to the store. Community is every connection we have with the world around us that sustains ... continue reading
Meditation: 10 Reasons NOT to Do It
These days, everyone's talking about the reasons to practice mindfulness. What about the reasons that make meditating a bad idea? Below, from my own experience, are 10 reasons NOT to practice sitting meditation: 1. You Can't Afford To. You've been too moving fast, working too hard, talking, texting, worrying. You've even "lost it" a few times. (not pretty!) Slow down now and that stuff will catch up with you. 2. Later Is Big, Now Is Small. Meditation is in the moment. But you've got your whole life ahead of you. The moment ... continue reading

Meditation: Waiting to Connect
It was 1975. My Buddhist meditation teacher was coming to NYC. I wanted to see him. I also wanted my Aunt and Uncle, who lived near my boarding school in rural PA, to be able to appreciate him as well. Besides, I didn't really know the city and could use some help getting there. A high school senior, I had been practicing on my meditation cushion for several years. Aunt and Uncle were skeptical. This was before the Dalia Lama, before karma was in Merriam Webster's. If Buddhism wasn't a cult, it was certainly foreign. ... continue reading

Skip to comments.4-Year-Old Girl Survives Attack By Pit Bull
Posted on 02/15/2010 8:43:10 PM PST by Chet 99
By Amanda Hara
MANCHESTER, Tenn. - A girl survived a close call when a pit bull attacked her. It happened five days ago in Manchester, but Kalin Gurdak's wounds are still very visible.
"They said that pit bulls usually attack the throat, and if he would have got her by the throat then it would have been over with," said mother Brandy Gurdak.
Police said the dog likely bit the 4-year-old three different times. It took 58 stitches to close the wounds.
Brandy said her now ex-boyfriend brought the dog home and asked to watch it for a friend.
She said the dog seemed calm, but snapped when Kalin kissed it on the forehead last week.
The ex boyfriend, Greg Dixon, was charged for lying to police about what happened. He was also charged with reckless endangerment for violating city ordinances and keeping the dog inside the apartment.
"I don't place the blame on him. It was both of our faults for having the dog in there, and now she's the one having to suffer from it," said Brandy.
The dog has since been euthanized, but Kalin may need plastic surgery in the future.
As always, I expect the "its not the breed it is the owners" in 3...2...1 (statistics be damned).
Kiss on the forehead? Well well, the poor Pit Bull was obviously provoked! < / pit bull apologist>
How come nobody ever wants to talk about all the golden retreiver attacks that happen in this country?
I'd be happy to accept their argument if we could euthanize the owners.
Just breathing around a pit bull could be provocation.
I'm still waiting to hear about a viscious pack of chihuahuas coming out of the blue and attacking some one. Any one? Any one?
I was attacked by a vicious pack of scotty terriers once.
Owners own up and call it their fault....pigs must be flying tonight..
Hi Chet, watching the dog show? The Non Sporting Group, including American Bull Terriers, and their cousins, is up tonight.
>>Im still waiting to hear about a viscious pack of chihuahuas coming out of the blue and attacking some one. Any one? Any one?<<
Heck, lets up the ante. German Shepherds who kill/maim babies on a regular basis? Great Danes? Retrievers?
>>I was attacked by a vicious pack of scotty terriers once.<<
Terriers and Yorkies are nasty little b@stards. But they have rarely killed nor maimed.
Why is nobody focused on the idiot mother who said "Okay, I'll look after the dog?"
Is she on crack? Why the hell would she do that? That gal should have said no way, you said you'd look after it, you look after it away from my house and daughter.
Thank you American Public Schools. We have dumb-assed adults running around that can't take care of themselves or their kids because of you. And we're paying a fortune for total crap results that generate situations exactly like these.
Related To Story
Look at the circumstances. The dog was not even the ex-bf's dog. The dog was stressed at being in a strange place among people not of his pack and just reacted as a dog would.
I think they should all be outlawed. Nasty little vermin. Pugs too...just cuz they're worthless.
>>The dog was not even the ex-bfs dog. The dog was stressed at being in a strange place among people not of his pack and just reacted as a dog would.<<
That explains all the Shepherd, Retriever, Great Dane,etc. reports of similar injuries in similar circumstances.
Let me ask you, would you dog sit for a breed of dog known to be aggressive without knowing the dog? The BF is an idiot and I hold HIM and not the dog for the little girl's injuries. Ask any dog trainer, the dog was just reacting like a dog.
BTW, what dog is responsible for biting more children than any other? Answer: Cocker Spaniel. (at least it used to be)
Then where are all the reports of all the rest of the dogs in this country which reacted this way under similar circumstances?
Or are you saying that pits comprise the vast majority of dogs owned so that the percentage of attacks reported coincides completely with the percentage of pits owned.
If all dogs are created equal, why so such a high percentage of attacks by pits compared to the percentage owned in the country?
Not so. A Golden would likely lick you to death, after melting into a puddle on the floor from that level of human attention and affection.
Do you know ANYTHING about dogs? Have you ever even owned one? Are you so stupid as to think that ONLY pit bulls bite people? Go ahead, talk to any ER nurse or doctor and ask them how many dog bites they see every month and ask how many were small dogs and how many were pit bulls. I dare you. You will find that most bites occur when a stranger tries to touch a dog.
P.S. Look at dog bite statistics. When German Shepherds were the popular "tough dog", there were more serious bites by them than any other dog. When Doberman Pincers were the popular tough dog, there were more serious bites by them than any other. And now for the last 20 years, the pit bull has been the tough dog to have and guess what, the more popular they are, the more people are bitten.
And a Chihuahua would probably bite you. Small dogs are much more likely to bite.
Responsible for about 60% of Killing and Maulings,,,
Not simple bites,,,
The bills for this little girl will be in the thousands
before she is fixed up,,,
Guess who gets to pay the Bill...?...
Fine. Here's some dog bite statistics.....
"According to the Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes are responsible for 74% of attacks that were included in the study, 68% of the attacks upon children, 82% of the attacks upon adults, 65% of the deaths, and 68% of the maimings. In more than two-thirds of the cases included in the study, the life-threatening or fatal attack was apparently the first known dangerous behavior by the animal in question. Clifton states:
If almost any other dog has a bad moment, someone may get bitten, but will not be maimed for life or killed, and the actuarial risk is accordingly reasonable. If a pit bull terrier or a Rottweiler has a bad moment, often someone is maimed or killed—and that has now created off-the-chart actuarial risk, for which the dogs as well as their victims are paying the price."
If all dogs are created equal, then pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes must comprise about 70% of the dogs owned in this country. Where are they then? Because I don't notice that more than 2 out or every 3 dogs I see are those breeds.
Typical anything defender tactics, exaggeration and misrepresentation.
Nobody is saying that ONLY pits attack or bite people or that ONLY pits are capable of inflicting serious injury. Just that they do it disproportionately to their numbers and injure people much more severely that other breeds.
There's a big difference between a dog which may nip at someone out of fright and a dog which shreds people or other animals and has to be beaten off.
Yes, both are technically bites, but they are not the same category at all.
So you are saying that aggressive dogs tend to bite more? Whodathunkit? You must be Captain Obvious incognito.
Now, go to the CDC website and look back 20 and 30 years and you will find that the dogs that had the most sever bites were the most popular aggressive breeds.
2,000 children are killed every year by their parents, through abuse and neglect (A child is 800 times more likely to be killed by their adult caretaker than by a Pit Bull)
I wonder what the stats would look like if every child lived with a pit bull.
I suppose if you change the facts the statistics would change too.
I just checked dog attacks on google
a few entries....rotts, shepherds, mongrels and yes a pitbull attack in Indianapolis
there was the boy samurai story saving his shepherd-pit mix from the lion or whatever
Chet only posts pitbull attacks..other dog attacks don't measure up
no doubt some pits will bite yer ass and can kill old folks and children but so can quite a few other breeds
given who often owns them (gangsta dog fighters and cracker dog fighters) and that now they are a problem in urban areas when before back when blacks were afraid of dogs more so...yes call me racist but Bull Conner memories linger trust me....it was more rare.
I do think the terrier in pits make them more dicey...I will give Chet that....I do not own one but I do own a Bulldog Matiff mix called a Scott Southern Bulldog...folks would love to fight them too I fear* and I've owned a dozen large guard breeds....they are all dangerous potentially...and if Chet gets his way even if unintended they will all be banned except for police and museums or forced nut cutting...so I oppose Selective Breed bans...but on the other hand...dense urban areas might have a need to shoot ghetto pits unleashed nor rural area the same if livestock killed though Chet's postings notwithstanding pits are more likely to kill other pets
* pits used for fighting tend to be smallish and rangy with more stamina...these squatty, big headed fat monsters are just for show
** I like pits well enough but I was hesitant with small children and cats...although I know some that do fine...my wife laid down the love law....easy choice...sides our Scott "Bedford"...named after guess who..lol..is a peach...a big black one
*** I'm over at Winstead Hill park the other day walking said Bully and a dude in a volvo gets out with 4 peekapoos all off leash hopping around...I had my boy on a lead and he was heeling great for his first real atempt...incredible really but I though what if it was some farmboy with his pit off leash...then what insatead of me...that peek owner woulda had a sad day and it woulda been his irresponsibilty too?
just like smallish men are more likely to be giant killers when they drink
I'm 6'5" ...I know
most dangerous thing in a child's life is a live in boyfriend
mommies should think about dat
1 out of every 37 people in the U. S. is a convicted felon
there are a half million registered sex offenders, many whose whereabouts are unknown
50 people every DAY are murdered (humans are certainly a dangerous animal)
cocker spaniels don't kill people.
Percentages show a more accurate picture.
Every child has a caretaker. Not every child lives with one or two pit bulls.
I also couldn't help but wonder what the stats would look like if you took the mother's boyfriend out of the mix.
Dogsbite.org is a hate site that was made by a woman who has admitted to having mental problems that affect her ability to make rational judgments. She was also known by the moniker "bitbypit" a full year before she was supposedly attacked. She builds websites for a living, and if you try to post any information on her site that doesn't fit with her agenda, you can be sure it will disappear and you will be banned from the site. She also charges money to send messages, which I don't think should qualify her for non-profit status. Another thing, the reputable studies on her site actually go against what she's trying to accomplish, but she took several quotes out of context and regularly uses them to make the studies look like they prove her points. Very shady, crazy woman. She has also been involved in a lawsuit because she is so hateful that she regularly writes nasty and totally false things about professionals that use pit bulls for education and assistance.
The Merritt-Clifton study has been debunked by other experts as completely useless. The man who conducted this study left out a large percentage of attacks, and for the record, is not a biologist, dog behaviorist, or anything that could possibly give him status as a reputable source. He is the editor of a dog magazine. What's worse, in his "study", he describes pit bulls as having "customarily" docked tails, which is absolutely wrong, glaringly so. Some will crop the ears, but the tails remain. I do believe this man was mixing up his breeds, and for someone who works on a dog magazine, that's pretty sad, IMO.
Here are some reputable studies if you are interested:
www.cdc.gov - There is a study on here that is decades-long, not the 2005-2006 one. It does have a table of breeds responsible for human fatalities, which is what people like the dogsbite woman use out of context, but if you actually read the study in its entirety, you will see that they put owner irresponsibility as the number one cause for dog attacks.
www.atts.org - This site is for the results of tests on unprovoked aggression. You can see where dogs of your preferred breed rank against the average, as well as pit bull-types, which score consistently better than many "friendly" breeds.
www.chako.org - This site is a wealth of information regarding responsible dog ownership, as well as a section for attacks by dogs that may get overlooked by the national media circuits.
www.nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com - This site has a book that is free to read and has comprehensive information from a century ago to today regarding the dog bite issue, including information about the public's view of the first documented "thug" dog, the bloodhound. This breed was viewed much like the pit bull is today, only in the 1800's after it became popular with people that shouldn't have owned it.
www.kcdogblog.com - This site lists all the dog bite fatalities from last year, including details that were left out of media reports, like the situation surrounding the attack, the poverty level of the area in which the attack took place, and the breed of dog as described by both the media and (when available) the animal control officers.
"If all dogs are created equal, then pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes must comprise about 70% of the dogs owned in this country. Where are they then? Because I dont notice that more than 2 out or every 3 dogs I see are those breeds."
Actually, pit bull-type dogs are the majority of medium to large breeds right now. Some estimates put them at ten million strong, and the total pop. of all breeds is about 76 million. They outnumber every other breed in shelters, they are in papers, on craigslist, and at Wal-Mart for $20 or free, as they are saturating the dog market. Back when german shepherds were the most popular breed, they were also in the news all the time and represented the majority for serious attacks. German shepherds make excellent pets, but like pit bulls, need a strong-minded owner that is willing to put in the effort for socialization, training, and exercise, as well as keeping the dog safely contained. Responsible ownership is the key to preventing dog attacks.
your intentions are well explained and intended but pits are already regulated in many places and outright banned
if this trend continues eventually all guard type dogs will get the same treatment
in some jurisdictions they already are...Rotts and Dogos seem to alwasy be up there on the list...most Molassers
it's a slippery slope just like there were once just smoking sections and once homosexuals just wanted to be free to practice sex in their bedrooms and once it was only about regulating Thompson submachine guns or just giving blacks the right to vote.....compasssion for illegals becomes amnesty for 30 million to give the Dems a lock'''.now look where all that went
Every decent intention that involved restricting freedom gets out of hand given the weak metality of many in America today
maybe there is something...I'm just not sure what it is
lol..u wouldn't post the owner if he weren't so uglee
They attach at a whim, even the members of the family that owns them...
OK. Thanks for the heads up on that.
I am cautious around anything that I can't drop kick but when a dog is known to be bred for aggressiveness, I am even more suspicious. I've never seen a retriever who didn't like water, a golden who didn't like people; a border collie that didn't try to herd anything, a husky who didn't love the cold and snow and pulling things.
Training can't eliminate those inane traits in other dogs, so I am skeptical that training can eliminate aggressiveness to a sufficient degree to enable me to trust breeds like pits.
A simple bite is one thing, any dog can and does nip if it's frightened or threatened, but the way I've seen and heard of pits which keep going when other breeds can be convinced to let go, concerns me.
I would never own such a high maintenance dog nor one who I wasn't sure I could trust.
They are a high maintenance dog, much like many other working breeds. Unfortunately, many who have these dogs shouldn't. However, I believe it is a testament to the breed that of millions, an infinitesimally small percentage have caused harm. But we read about these things daily, which is often why people are so angry. The sad thing is, there are 13 thousand dog attacks in this country every single day that don't end up on the news, and some of them are downright nasty. It's really too bad that the media gets to pick and choose what they will report. Since they have no obligation to do anything but make more money, they have a tendency to report on the stories that will get the most ratings, and as horrible as it may be for a dalmation to attack someone and give them stitches, for example, it isn't considered newsworthy.
Another common misconception is that pit bulls bite differently, or that their bite is somehow stronger than other dogs. This has also been proven wrong by using a computerized bite sleeve to measure psi in several breeds.
It has come to my attention through these various media reports that even single-bite incidents involving pit bulls are marketed as full-on attacks, often with eye-catching story titles.There are just as many nips involving this breed as the next, but the difference is that pit bull bites are reported in the media, and other breeds are ignored or excused, very rarely reported. The KC dog blog goes into detail on this, showing how many different newspapers reported fatality incidents. It shows that pit bull deaths are reported several times more often than deaths caused by other breeds. It's not a conspiracy, just business.
I wouldn't trust a Dalmatian either. They are not good people or kid dogs. I knew someone who had a pair once and they were aggressive as all get out. They had to constantly warn kids who saw the dogs and wanted to pet them to NOT TOUCH THEM, under any circumstances.
That is so not worth the risk.
I totally agree. I think that people need to think long & hard about the dog they decide to own. So many people buy on a whim, see a cute puppy in the mall & buy it. Cute puppy grows up & they can't handle it. Not just pits but many breeds.
I bred Dobermans & there were times I refused to sell to people. Same now with the Shih tzu I have. I also would never buy from a puppy store as most of their puppies come from the puppy mills. I don't care if they have papers, puppy mills are terrible. Most of the pups are sick etc. People need to make sure a dog fits their lifestyle. If they want a large breed or working dog then they need to have the space & the time to work with it. And realize they have to do the things that will keep the dog happy. Dogs know what their jobs are. So many times a dog is unhappy because it isn't getting the attention it needs.
I would love to have Dobermans again but Joe doesn't trust them. I can't get it through his head my dogs saved my life in 1982. He refuses to believe they can be trusted. He likes pits & rotties & I don't. So here we are with Shih tzu & a pekashih.
I worked in shelters & I saw too many dogs be surrendered because people didn't have a clue how to deal with their dog. Had they done the research before buying maybe there wouldn't be so many homeless dogs. I've been bitten plenty of times & if a dog becomes a biter I have no problem with it being put down. I don't understand people who know their dog will bite & have children yet keep the dog.
You brought up a great point. They became popular after the 101 Dalmatians movie came out, and were being bred by lots of people that shouldn't have. They didn't care about the temperament or health of the parents, and their breeding practices produced a lot of dogs that were not a good representation of the breed. They were the number one biters for a while, and during that time we got an awful lot of them at the shelter.
I remember having to restrain a one-year old dal that was being euthed (it peed on the carpet and the people didn't train it, they got another one). When people stop treating dogs like children and take responsibility for their dogs' behavior, we will see a decline in attacks of all breeds. There are some great dalmatians out there, and they represent the majority, just like with pit bulls. The minority that cause harm, however, is the only thing most people see, so that is what they believe is true for all, IMO.
Then again; if there were a pitbull in every child's house what would happen to the stats of caretakers abusing and killing the children? Dogs are very protective and have a keen sense of who the victim is and who is the predator.
Just sayin' that straight out numbers don't tell the whole story.
I can't print what should be done to the boyfriends......
Need regulated so they to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands?
Well, its worked with guns and drugs, let's give it a try lib.
Can't you come up with something that would work?

Man admits shooting 11-year-old on New Year

- Jealous ex behind Bayreuth triple killing (21 Dec 15)
But the 53-year-old from the small town of Unterschleichach said he had not intended to hit Janina, who died in hospital after a bullet struck her head, Bild reports.
Roland E. said that after splitting from his family he had spent the New Year alone.
Out of anger at the noise outside he went into his cellar and picked up his gun before firing three or four shots into the crowd, he admitted to police.
A 50-man special investigation was set up after the tragic death, broadcaster Bayerische Rundfunk (BR) reports, with police finally making an arrest on Tuesday.
Roland E. is a court clerk and the owner of the small-caliber weapon from which the deadly shot was fired, investigators say.
A bullet hit the young girl in the head as she was watching a New Year's firework display with friends and she died a few hours later in hospital.
While the girl's mother appealed for the killer to come forward in the days after the attack, no one admitted to the crime.
The special investigation team went through the local gun register and found Roland E.'s name among those who hold gun licences in the small town of Unterschleichach, where the killing took place.

Every now and then, I am reminded of how lucky I am. I'm lucky that none of my readers has ever responded to a comment I made, which they didn't like, by calling me ugly. I'm lucky that they've never called me a cunt or a whore. I'm lucky that they've never threatened to rape me and then called me a humorless bitch when I pointed out how messed up that was. In general, the worst comments I've ever had directed to me, here, were from people accusing me of being a paid shill for Big Conspiracy, which is just funny.
But that shouldn't be luck, guys. My experience should not represent a minority experience among the female science bloggers I know. (And it is.) I shouldn't have to feel like thanking you, the BoingBoing readers, for being kind enough to not treat me like shit just because I'm a lady person.
Treating people with respect should not be a controversial position. It should not be a mindblowingly crazy idea to point out the fact that women are quite often treated as objects and, thus, have to deal with a lot more potentially threatening situations than men do. It shouldn't be offensive to say, hey, because of that fact, it's generally not a good idea to follow a woman you've never spoken to into an elevator late at night and ask her to come to your hotel room. Chances are good that you will make her feel threatened, rather than complimented. Read the rest
Editorial note — Cow Week is a tongue-in-cheek look at risk analysis and why we fear the things we fear. It is inspired by the Discovery Channel's Shark Week, the popularity of which is largely driven by the public's fascination with and fear of sharks. Turns out, cows kill more people every year than sharks do. Each day, I will post about a cow-related death, and add to it some information about the bigger picture.
Now that we have three entries behind us, Cow Week is starting to fulfill its intended function—a format in which to talk about what we do and don't know about why we consider some things risky and some things safe.
Today, we're going to look at the way different emotions have different effects on how we perceive risk. But first, the cow-related violence:
In 2011, a British teenager named Emma Gregory was attacked by cows. Like yesterday's victim, Gregory was crossing a cow pasture with a dog in tow. (Bear in mind here, crossing cow-occupied pastures as part of moving around your community is a more normal thing in the United Kingdom than it is in the United States.) Gregory survived and her furious mother launched a campaign to change signage around the field and generally make sure that people are familiar with the fact that cows are not always docile, friendly, and adorable.
Read the rest
Mrs Gregory also wonders whether or not it would be "reasonably practicable" to install temporary fencing alongside the public right of way to keep ramblers and cattle separate.
The quote below gives you a taste of the outburst, but you owe it to yourself to download the audio, which I've edited out of the CBC As it Happens Podcast and uploaded to the Internet Archive for your enjoyment. Remix gold. Ringtone city. Listen to this rage. Just listen to it.
Robichaud complained again, but LeBlanc refused to apologize.N.B. MLA expelled for rude gesture
"I'll not apologize in this house for that young lady over there," he said, before accusing Blaney of telling lies about Saint John-Fundy MLA Stuart Jamieson.
Jamieson was asked to step down as tourism minister on Friday for suggesting the controversial deal between NB Power and Hydro-Québec should go to a referendum.
LeBlanc did not elaborate on the alleged lies before extending his middle finger again at another Tory MLA and shaking his fist.
"I'm gonna tell you, Dale [Graham, Tory MLA for Carleton], I'll walk outside with any one of yas here," LeBlanc said. "Don't ever laugh at me. Yes, I gave you that. And I'll give you that again. And I'll give you this if you want to go outside. You're a punk!"

"Don is a one-of-a-kind! after numerous referrals and meetings, I found him thru here and met with him to design my first ever attempted pool concept and he is delivering above and beyond (yep, i'm reviewing mid-build he's that good)! Even though he normally works on projects much larger than mine, I am still receiving personal attention and he is always on site checking in, reviewing and tweaking the project to make it better. His team is also amazingly skilled – they come in, tackle the day non stop, go home and every afternoon I'm wowed!"

Overseeing Logitech's Turnaround
As Sales of Computer Tablets Explode, Swiss Mouse Maker Pins Hopes on New 'Blockbusters'
Bracken Darrell, president of Logitech International SA, admits the past couple of years have been tough for the world's largest maker of computer mice.
Missteps like a disastrous link with Google Inc. to make set-top boxes for the Internet giant's TV effort, as well as a failed sales strategy in Europe have tarnished the Swiss company's luster and wiped more than 40% from its share price over the past two years.
Add in an aging product line-up and falling sales that triggered a series of profit warnings last year and it's clear that Mr. Darrell has a big task when he takes over the complete running of the 31-year-old company next year.
Age: 49
Nationality: American
Position:President, Logitech International SA
Based: Newark, Calif.
Time in job: Five months
Previous Positions: 2009 to 2012: president, EMEA, Whirlpool Corp.; 2005 to 2008: president, Braun, Proctor & Gamble Co.; 2002 to 2005: vice president, marketing, Gillette, Procter & Gamble Co.; 1997 to 2002: general manager, Consumer Home Service, General Electric Co.; before 1997: brand- management roles at Procter & Gamble Co.; international auditor at Pepsico Inc.; auditor at Arthur Andersen
"The reality, I don't think, was a complete disaster, but the last year or two has been really tough," he says.
After stints with Procter & Gamble, where he led electric-shaver company Braun, and most recently Whirlpool Corp., he became Logitech president in April. In the role he is responsible for research and development, sales and marketing, manufacturing and a host of other functions.
And in January, Mr. Darrell takes over as chief executive from Chairman and CEO Guerrino De Luca. Mr. De Luca was CEO from 1998 to 2008 and again from July 2011 when the previous CEO, Gerald Quindlen, resigned amid declining sales and mounting losses. When Mr. Darrell becomes CEO, Mr. De Luca will revert to being chairman.
On Mr. Darrell's appointment as president, Mr. De Luca described him as a "change agent, having driven innovation and transformation for iconic consumer brands."
During his time at Procter & Gamble he oversaw the overhaul of after-shave Old Spice, rebranding it to appeal to younger consumers. The result was a doubling in sales over two years.
"I'm a marketer at heart. Give me the opportunity to work with people to make better products, and that's wonderful," says Mr. Darrell, who says he still uses Old Spice today and looks for it in every store he visits.
Now, sitting in a meeting room at Logitech's R&D site in Lausanne, he outlines how he intends to launch another turnaround. Surrounded by a batch of the latest computer peripherals—speakers, keyboards and earphones—upon which Logitech is pinning its revival hopes, he describes his strategy of "small company, big products." This means getting Logitech back to its small-company roots with better products.
In glass cabinets around the meeting room are earlier computer mice and keyboards—which drove the company's rapid growth after it was founded in 1981. But by 2008 Logitech had become too large, he says, which hindered the introduction of new peripherals.
The company has now downsized, cutting 450 jobs, or 13% of its 3,300 nonproduction staff, as well as removing a layer of management, as part of a plan launched in April to save $80 million a year.
But the major part of the strategy is getting the right products to appeal to consumers, Mr. Darrell says.
"The single most important thing we are now doing to turn this company into the growth company is to have great products," he says.
In the past, Logitech was seen as a little like the Apple of the peripheral world, where high-end design meant its products were in the premium sector of the market.
But in recent years, Logitech lost this reputation, spreading itself too thinly and launching too many mediocre products, according to analysts. Resources devoted to the Google TV set-top box—which Logitech abandoned after technical problems with software and poor customer reception—meant Logitech underinvested in other parts of the business.
The Google TV venture and failed European retail strategy cost Logitech about |$100 million in operating profit, the company said last November.
Changing consumer habits also hit the company, particularly the massive success of tablet computers like the Apple iPad, whose touch screens mean users typically attach fewer peripherals like the computer mice and keyboards produced by Logitech.
The change in the market is expected to accelerate further, with shipments of tablet computers forecast to increase by 88% in 2012, compared with only 12% growth rates for PCs and laptops, according to research company Gartner.
"Our biggest problem is, we had products which weren't particularly great," he says. "We had lowered our expectations from what was acceptable."
Now, several of Logitech's new selection of keyboards, speakers and earphones have the potential to be "blockbusters," Mr. Darrell says, pointing to a washable keyboard that can be submerged in up to 28 centimeters of water, and an ultra-thin keyboard for the Apple iPad.
Without giving specific numbers, he says sales of the thin keyboard are already double the level of expectations, with further models to come.
Touch screens may become increasingly important, Mr. Darrell says, but he argues that keyboards and mice will remain important for people who want to write and produce documents.
"I think typing and pointing in all its forms are here to stay. But gesture usage and touch in general open up whole new growth opportunities for us that we are excited about," he says.
Whether these products will be enough to turn around Logitech's fortunes remains to be seen, with some analysts skeptical about how different they are from those of their competitors.
Logitech isn't giving any guidance for the rest of this year, perhaps wary from being burnt by the previous profit warnings, but also reflecting the uncertain global economic environment. But Mr. Darrell expects the results of the initiatives to become evident in the second half of the company's current financial year, which runs to the end of March.
In the meantime, the company will make its first ever dividend payment this month—at 0.81 Swiss francs —to soothe investors who have seen their shares slump around 43%, wiping 1.28 billion Swiss francs ($1.36 billion) from the company's value in the past two years to its current level of 1.79 billion Swiss francs. Logitech shares closed Friday at 9.12 Swiss francs, down 43% since Sept. 7, 2010, when they traded at 16.04 Swiss francs.
In a constantly changing computer market, identifying trends is a challenge, as is understanding the new product shapes and sizes so suitable peripherals can be made.
Apple has traditionally been very guarded about its new products, Mr. Darrell says, and other tech companies are likely to be more so in the future. "Every time there is a big change in the computer industry there is a shudder that runs through this company. There's a pause, that's painful, and then we adjust ourselves to that new reality," he says.
"For 30 years we've been able to do that, grow out of it, and that's our game plan here."
Looking ahead, he says increasing touch control—via touch mice, for example—and music are likely to be key areas of growth for peripherals.
Remembering his childhood in Kentucky, he recalls how listening to music has changed dramatically.
"I used to sit in front of the radio, and turn the tuner till I got to a song I liked, and then keep turning till I found it again.
"Now it's totally different. If you love music or live for music, the way you experience it is going to be totally transformed."
In the future, people want music to be searchable and also shareable—which is made possible by Bluetooth connectivity and mobile speakers, he says.
"Now when I hear a great song, I want to share it with people. I could play you Foreigner's "Cold As Ice," and you could play me back "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles. People want to share music, and there's going to be more wireless equipment because they don't want to walk around with wires hanging around."
Mr. Darrell is more cautious about voice or gesture control—where computers are controlled by detecting arm or hand movements. He believes these won't replace keyboards and mice, but will be additional to the traditional ways of interacting with a computer.
Meanwhile, the humble mouse is far from extinct, he says. Logitech shipped more than 95 million of the pointing devices in its last financial year, up 7% in unit terms, though revenue was flat from a year earlier.
"There has been a slowdown in mouse sales in parts of the world," Mr. Darrell says. "Whether this is permanent or temporary I don't know. But we are going to be ready for whatever happens.
"The wonderful thing about the world today is things are continuing to change. That is going to give rise to more and more growth opportunities and we are preparing to grow in lots of different areas."

I can't handle this frustration anymore. For years i was teased in school and by my family about my small breasts.
I avoid girls with large breasts at all costs because i feel so inferior compared to them. All i wanted was a big chest so i could finally feel that i'm a woman.
Does anyone know a way to enhance my breasts apart from surgery? There must be something.. what birth control enhances them the most? Please help, i am tired of running away from the large breasted girls. I am so jealous of them, they have an easier life than me. I hate my body, the summer is coming and i already feel depressed thinking about what i will see. I wish i could wear cleavage. Even old ladies have big racks, why was i so unlucky.
So if someone knows a way to enhance them, i would be eternally grateful. Please help me, thank you in advance.

IRUS-UK is a national aggregation service which contains details of all content downloaded from participating UK institutional repositories (IRs). It follows on from the successful PIRUS2 project ( http://www.cranfieldlibrary.cranfield.ac.uk/pirus2/tiki-index.php ), which demonstrated how COUNTER-compliant article-level usage statistics could be collected and consolidated from Publishers and Institutional Repositories, IRUS-UK is a Jisc-funded repository and infrastructure service.
IRUS-UK enables UK IRs to access and share comprehensive and comparable usage statistics using the COUNTER standard. The service collects usage data from participating repositories, processes the data into COUNTER-compliant statistics and then presents statistics back to originating repositories to be used in a variety of ways.
The service aims to provide a nation-wide view of UK institutional repository use to help demonstrate the importance and value of IRs. The service will also provide opportunities for benchmarking and act as an intermediary between UK repositories and other agencies, e.g. global central clearinghouse, national shared services, Research Councils, SCONUL, OpenAIRE.
IRUS-UK provides COUNTER-compliant usage statistics on items downloaded from participating repositories. It covers all item types within repositories.
PIRUS2 worked with a limited number of item types (article, book chapter, book section, conference or workshop item, dataset, manual, other, presentation, report, technical report, thesis or dissertation, working paper) to which all other item types were mapped. IRUS-UK continued to use these item types but, following research into guidelines on and actual usage of item types ( http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/help/toolbox/IRUS_item_type_report_v3.3.pdf ), we are now using the following set of item types:
Art/Design Item; Article; Audio; Book; Book Section; Conference or Workshop Item - Other; Conference Papers /Posters; Conference Proceedings; Dataset; Exam Paper; Image; Learning Object; Moving Image; Music/Musical Composition; Other; Patent; Performance; Preprint, Report; Show/Exhibition; Text; Thesis or Dissertation; Unknown; Website; Working Paper.
In each case, the original item type is stored so that this list can be expanded or modified over time.
IRUS-UK is being developed by a consortium involving Jisc Mimas, Cranfield University and Evidence Base at Birmingham City University.
All UK institutional repositories are welcome to participate in IRUS-UK.
A pilot group of repositories was involved in the initial stage of the project. Participation is now open to all interested UK repositories. Participating repositories are listed at http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/participants/. We are successfully receiving download activity data from these repositories and currently hold data from July 2012 or from an institution's participation date if later.
IRUS-UK has been designated as one of Jisc's 'core services' for 2014/15 and 2015/16. So funding has been assigned to cover ongoing support and development of IRUS-UK in the current year and next, though obviously the 2015/16 Jisc budget is to be confirmed.
Our website has an overview of the project and contact information if you want to get in touch. We speak about IRUS-UK at conferences, events and webinars. A list of events that the IRUS-UK team has attended is featured at http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/news/. The page also contains links to papers, presentations and webinar recordings. You can follow us on Twitter @irusnews.
Participation is open to all interested UK HE and Research Council institutional repositories.
We are currently working with EPrints, DSpace and Fedora repositories, which account for about two thirds of all UK repositories, and will be working with others in the future. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in working with us and you use or supply other repository software.
Contact us at email@example.com if you are interested in joining IRUS-UK. Let us have details of the repository software that you use, the version and whether or not you have a hosted repository. We will then be able to either supply the appropriate plug-in or patch, advise you where to obtain it or advise you who you need to contact.
We gather data using tracker code plugins and patches and have initially focussed on developing tracker functionality for DSpace and EPrints repositories. We have patches available for DSpace (1.8.x, 3.x, 4.1 and 4.2) and plug-ins available for EPrints (works with 3.2 or greater).
We use a "push" mechanism whereby a notification is sent to the IRUS-UK server as an OpenURL key-value pair string every time a file is downloaded from a repository.
Data is stored in daily log files which are usually processed the following day. The data for each item are consolidated into daily statistics and are filtered to remove robots and double clicks. These daily statistics are then consolidated into monthly statistics, the traditional COUNTER granularity.
Access to the portal is available via a Shibboleth login.
The portal provides a number of different reports and data views together with an author/title search.
Reports can be generated in HTML, CSV or TSV formats.
Further information about each of these reports can be found here ( http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/help/available/ ).
We welcome your feedback on further developing these outputs.
This is something a number of IRUS-UK users have asked about, so we have been investigating it further. The only practical way for IRUS-UK to obtain school/department metadata related to individual items for each repository is to use the 'ListSets' mechanism which is included in the OAI-PMH. Having looked at this for our current IRUS-UK repositories, some repositories do map their schools and departments to OAI Sets but many do not. In fact there are over 28,000 different 'sets' in use, and many of those define the status/subject/type of items rather than their affiliation, so it's not a simple process!
We will however be looking into this in more detail to see if there's a way we can share downloads by set. In the meantime, if you would like to use this functionality in future we would recommend you check your repository configuration to ensure that you map your schools and departments into corresponding OAI Sets.
We remove entries from known robots appearing on the COUNTER robots list (found in Appendices I and J of the COUNTER Code of Practice ( http://www.projectcounter.org/code_practice.html )).
As repositories have joined IRUS-UK, we have identified other robots not on the COUNTER list and have started to compile an additional IRUS-UK list of robots. In order for this to be sustainable in the long term, we commissioned a piece of work to develop an adaptive filtering system ( http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/news/IRUS_download_data_Final_report.pdf ).
For further information see our position statement on the treatment of robots and unusual usage ( http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/news/IRUS-UK_position_statement_robots_and_unusual_usage_v1_0_Nov_2013.pdf ).
Work on filtering robots is ongoing.
Different repository usage statistics packages produce data for different purposes. For example, IRStats provides information on what is downloaded from a repository and who is doing the downloads whereas Google Analytics aims to present a picture of visitor traffic. Each package will have a different set of criteria as to how they treat accesses by robots and "double clicks" and hence are likely to give different figures for total downloads.
IRUS-UK provides usage statistics on items downloaded from participating repositories in accordance with COUNTER guidelines ( http://www.projectcounter.org/ ). The data provided by IRUS-UK are, therefore, comparable across all participating repositories.
We have an initial API available. Please contact our helpdesk firstname.lastname@example.com if you wish to explore its use.
We are a community resource and welcome your comments and suggestions at any time. Please get in touch with our helpdesk at firstname.lastname@example.com. A few weeks after you join we'll send you a survey asking for your views, and any ideas you have for how we can develop the service. We also have an email list for participants (email@example.com).

On New Years Day I found a sore on my cat. I pet her a thousand times a day so I know it wasn't there the night before. I couldn't get a vet appointment until the 8th. In the meantime I kept it clean and used Neosporin. I went to the vet on the 8th, he said it was an allergic reaction and prescribed 3 medications.
Now just 3 days later the sore is just about healed but she won't stop scratching right below the sore. It's not any particular shape, just two straight lines where the folds of her skin are when her head is upright. She is making it bleed. I have the cone on her now but I don't think its safe to leave it on while I'm asleep or at work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm very concerned. Should I take her back to the vet? I don't want to seem like a hypochondriac cat mommy but I hate seeing her uncomfortable.
By Lisa from Philadelphia, PA
There is a Neosporin called" Neosporin Plus". (The Plus comes in cream or ointment) This kind of Neosporin is different because it has an added medication that stops pain, itch & burning. Try this & see if it helps. Use only a little, so the cat doesn't lick a bunch off & get sick! Don't feel like a crazy-cat-moma, because if your cat keeps scratching it, it won't heal (& could get worse). Did the vet check for "fungus" (like ringworm, etc) because these fungus infections can really itch.
Also, I agree with it not being safe to keep the cone on while you are gone.
Try a flea collar. Sounds crazy but I went through the same thing with two cats, tried all sorts of things but the sore wouldn't heal then once spring came and out came the flea collars and they both stopped scratching and picking at the un-healing sore.
I think I was over doing it with the ointment the vet prescribed. I may of been putting to much on at once. I stopped putting it straight on from the tube and started using a cotton ball and just dabbing it on, now she appears to have stopped scratching and its healing.
The vet did check for fungus/ringworm and said that wasn't it. It was probably an allergy to food I used temporarily. I ran out of their normal food and just ran to the local convenience store for a box until I could get to the pet store the next day.. it wasn't the same brand, so in all likelihood that's what it was. I have long since thrown that box away, and she is eating her normal brand again, and no other sores/scratches have popped up.
I know I probably made her crazier than the sore did, and I'm convinced it worried and bothered me more than it did her, but she is my baby, and when you google "cat sores" online some scary stuff comes up. Thank you for the advice.
I have 4 cats with this problem, altho they have not had any infections from their sores. My vet prescribes prednisone or prednisolone tablets for it. I've tried sprays and medicated powders from the drugstores: you might have good luck with that. The kitten really should see a vet as infection is present She will need an antibiotic and possibly stitches. I have a cat who had a puncture wound that started out as a tooth-hole sized bite from another cat. It then opened up to the size of a quarter over the next few days despite my efforts with hydrogen peroxide soaked cotton balls.
That's when I took her to the veterinarian. Money well spent? The bleeding was dripping now and then and wouldn't cease. Stitches were clearly needed. Hydrogen Peroxide is the way to go to keep bleeding wounds free of infection.
The cat photo I have is of my kitty girl, Mitsu, who had the wound that kept opening up larger everyday. For a low-cost veterinarian I was miffed with how many $$ he required to do the procedure: not very Thrifty!
Health is first and foremost and kitties must be doctored and at least Mitsu looks ashamed of herself for having got into one bad fight behind my back. Good Luck with your kitten.
There is a spray at Tractor Supply and probably online that costs around 25 dollars. It is available at amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Vetericyn-Ani ... rigger/dp/B00425DZTM/?tag=thrif06-20
It is called Vetricin. It is a wonderful spray and can even be used in eyes, and it is for infections, ringworm, etc. I found out about it from one of my wildlife rehab friends on facebook. I would not be without it now.
There are several different kinds of vetricyn spray the one I am talking about is called Vetricyn Wound Spray and it looks like the picture in the link I sent.

I have a kitten that I found. When I found her she had a little spot about the size of a dime maybe smaller. She has been itching it and now it is way bigger with blood and puss. I have been putting peroxide on it and cleaning it out, also have been putting Polysporin on it but it is not healing.
It is in a spot where I cannot put a cone around her neck. I will get it to the point where it is healing or scabbing up and then she will itch at it again and it will become a bloody mess again. Any ideas?
Anne from Cincinnati, OH
It sounds like a warble. You need to take her to the vet. Cats are bad about getting them and they are usually on their necks. (10/10/2008)
By cora-sue
It's great that she's found a good home! You should seriously consider a visit to the vet-not only could the area get infected (which the pus indicates), she could have a mange mites infestation or a skin disease that requires a bit more than you can do at home.
I found a cat 2 years ago that was covered with sores and bald patches. It took 2 rounds of shots to eradicate the mites she was infected with, plus surgery to remove a patch of skin that she'd scratched and chewed at till it had nerve damage. Now she is has beautiful silky fur and seems quite happy not to be constantly scratching herself!
At any rate, go to the vet! (And please, discuss spaying your cat with the vet.) If you feel it is expensive, you might contact your local shelter/humane society to find veterinarians that charge lower prices for their services. Some humane societies offer coupons for some vet services. Some vets will trade goods and services-I used to own a video store, and my vet had small kids who liked movies. Worked out great for us both till his kids grew up and left home! (10/10/2008)

What about the stuff that you use to break a thumb sucker. You can buy it at Wal-mart or any pharmacy. Hope this helps. ~Janette~ (10/13/2008)

Take her to a vet as soon as you can. Using medication made for humans is not a good idea to use on animals without first researching on the internet (or asking a vet). Many are toxic to our animal friends. (10/13/2008)
By Maryeileen
Another possibility is that she could have allergies. That is what ended up being my cat's problem. Either way, I agree that you should get her to the vet. My cat needed allergy shots! (10/13/2008)

A warble is a welt that has a large larva inside it, with a breathing hole to the outside. Just so you know. Your vet will help you know when to administer parasiticides, because my cow had those and I gave her medicines at the wrong time and the larvae died there. The vet said I should have let that batch fly away and then prevent the next batch. I had to rip out those big dead larvae myself, one by one. Sorry for the gross message, guess it's a roundabout way of saying 'your kitty needs her vet'. (10/13/2008)
By kimhis
You need to take the kitten to a vet. (10/13/2008)
By ThriftyUser
You can buy a liquid spray bandage to help keep things out of it while it heals. This also contains a small pain reliever so it will stop some of the babies scratching. (10/14/2008)

It's easy to dismiss rosé as lolly water, but the 100-plus labels now on the shelves are far more enjoyable than that. A delicious wine style in its own right, pink wine is hard to resist during summer's heat.
Rosé barely registers on sales charts here, accounting for 1% of all wine sold in supermarkets. In France, it's a different story. Highly popular as an aperitif and at soirées, rosé has surpassed white wine as the second biggest-selling style after red.
The good news is that interest in New Zealand rosé is growing. Rosé exports approached 70,000 cases this year – a steep rise from 905 cases in 2003. And the damp 2011
harvest in many regions has boosted rosé production, as winemakers look to concentrate their reds by draining a small portion of the juice for rosé.
Pinot noir and merlot are the grapes most in demand for rosé, and regional differences are emerging. Rosés from Hawke's Bay and the north are typically merlot-based, full-bodied and relatively dry, whereas those from southern regions, based on pinot noir, tend to be slightly lighter, sweeter and crisper.
Esk Valley, in Hawke's Bay, produces New Zealand's most acclaimed rosé. "Our rosé is created from the same merlot and malbec grapes that are crafted into our red wines," says winemaker Gordon Russell. Before the fermentation of a red wine, when the grapes' skins have coloured the juice sufficiently, up to 10% is extracted, then cool-fermented like a white wine in stainless-steel tanks, to capture its fresh, vibrant red-fruit flavours. The ferment is stopped just short of dryness, leaving a sliver of residual grape sugar, and the wine is bottled young.
Whether you see rosé as a tinted white or an ultra-light red, most veer a lot closer to white than red wine in terms of basic style. When buying rosé, always go for the newest vintage, as freshness is the essence of its charm.
Serve it cool but not cold, because its delicate flavours can be overwhelmed by excessive chilling. A perfect picnic wine, rosé is magical with salmon.
Neudorf Nelson Pinot Rosé 2011
Vivacious pink/pale red summer sipper with fresh strawberry, apricot and spice flavours, dryish, finely poised and rich. $23
8 Ranges Central Otago Pinot Rosé 2011
This inviting, bright pink rosé from Alexandra is crisp and lively, with strong strawberry and spice flavours and a finely balanced, slightly creamy finish. $25
Esk Valley Merlot/Malbec Rosé 2011
"If any wine in our range has a smile factor, it has to be the rosé," says Gordon Russell. Mouthfilling and vibrantly fruity, it offers strong flavours of plums and spices, fresh and dryish. $24
Framingham F-Series Montepulciano Rosato 2011
From the Montepulciano variety (grown widely across central Italy), this Marlborough rosé has an enticing, bright pink/pale red colour, satisfying body and vibrant, berryish flavours, showing excellent delicacy, freshness, poise and depth. $25
Tohu Single Vineyard Nelson Rosé 2011
From Upper Moutere, this bright pink, fleshy wine is bursting with fresh, slightly sweet, berryish, plummy flavour. $22
Spy Valley Pinot Noir Rosé 2011
"Guaranteed to enhance a romantic evening for two", this pale pink Marlborough wine is delicious. It has strong, vibrant strawberry and spice flavours, with a hint of apricot, slight sweetness and excellent freshness, delicacy and harmony. $23
Wooing Tree Rosé 2011
Estate-grown in Central Otago's Cromwell Basin, and partly oak-aged, this pale pink wine has fresh strawberry, peach and slight apricot flavours, slightly sweet, seductively smooth and rich. $25
Richmond Plains Nelson Monarch Rosé 2011
From pinot noir grapes in conversion to BioGro, this pink/pale red rosé is berryish and spicy, with a touch of complexity and good depth. It is packaged in the country's lightest 750ml glass bottle, which when filled with wine "is lighter than some other bottles empty", says winemaker Lars Jensen. $20
