I am searching for a Doctor that is highly recommended for Botox injections in and around the Jackson, MS area. I have currently used the same doctor for last two years and don't feel like I am getting the same amount as when I started. The price keeps going up and fewer injections. Can anyone recommend one? thanks

Jackson Botox Provider Recommendations
You have every right to exlore other options. Allergan's botox and the ASPS physican locators would be starting points. When comparing botox pricing, ensure that you are comparing appropriately. Different facilities mix differently and less reputable are constantly being found out to be using botox knockoffs.

Should I stick with my Botox injector if prices increase?
Hi Kitkat. Unfortunately, we do not have a recommendation for a physician in your area, but we may be able to provide some insight for you anyway. If your practitioner is using fewer injection points and the results are staying the same, it could just be that he/she is getting better at performing the service.
As Doctor Farris points out, Botox is most often sold by the unit so it's a fair question to ask your practitioner if the same number of units are being injected now as with previous treatments. If your results are the same each time, chances are the units are the same too.
Finally, Allergan, the makers of Botox, do raise the prices every single year so the price changes from your physician may be just a response to the higher prices we pay for the product itself.
If you are happy with the results, we would err on the side of caution and stick with what you know best, your current practitioner. Good luck.
Web reference: http://www.celibre.com/botox.aspx
With botox it's all about results.
If you are happy with the results you are getting then I would stay where you are. Sometimes over time the injection pattern might change. This is not unusual. Most physicians charge by the unit (not by the injection) and the office should be able to explain their pricing to you. .

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates went through two managers and a pair of 12-inning games in three days before finally ending a record-tying home losing streak.
Humberto Cota singled home the winning run in the 12th, and the Pirates overcame Tony Clark's two homers and five RBI to end a 10-game home losing streak with an 8-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.
"This feels really good, because we didn't want to break that record," Cota said.
The Pirates lost 10 in a row at home for only the second time in their 119-season history and the first time since 1968. Their first victory in Pete Mackanin's three games as interim manager since replacing the fired Lloyd McClendon also ended a six-game overall losing streak.
"Hopefully, this relaxes everyone and we can start playing better ball," Mackanin said.
With a 56-83 record, they can't play much worse.
Pittsburgh was within two outs of losing following Clark's second homer, a three-run go-ahead drive in the ninth, when Jason Bay hit a tying two-run shot -- his 26th -- in the bottom of the inning off Tim Worrell. Worrell blew his third save in four opportunities.
In the top of the inning, Jose Mesa blew his third consecutive save opportunity by giving up Clark's 25th homer. Clark also hit a two-run drive in the first off Josh Fogg during his 17th career multihomer game.
"The goal is to shake hands at the end of the day," Clark said of his big day in a losing cause. "If it's a 5-for-5 that does it or a 0-for-5, it doesn't matter."
After the Pirates couldn't score with the bases loaded in the 11th, Rob Mackowiak singled off Buddy Groom (0-1), Arizona's seventh pitcher, to start the 12th and moved up on Freddy Sanchez's sacrifice bunt. Cota, who doubled in a run in the eighth, then singled to center to give Pittsburgh its first home victory since Aug. 23.
"It's good to finally win a game -- it seems like it's a lot longer than it's actually been," Bay said.
The Pirates came back from deficits of 2-0, 4-3, and 7-5. Rick White (4-6) pitched a scoreless 12th for the victory.
"We've got to find a way to win that game," Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin said. "We had a lot of opportunities to win that game, more opportunities than they did."
Right-hander Dustin Nippert made his major-league debut for Arizona 14 months after having reconstructive elbow surgery, but couldn't hold a 2-0 lead supplied by Clark's first homer. Nippert, who had a Double-A Southern League-best 2.38 ERA at Tennessee before being promoted, allowed three runs and five hits in five innings.
Nippert had a chance for the win, which would have delighted the estimated 200 fans in attendance from his nearby hamlet of Beallsville, Ohio -- almost half the village's population of 443.
"They brought three or four school buses," Nippert said. "But, hey, it's not that big of a town."
Nippert was lifted after five innings because of a torn fingernail on his right index finger that prevented him from properly gripping his curve ball. He left with a 4-3 lead following Luis Terrero's two-run homer on the first pitch thrown by reliever Brian Meadows in the sixth, but Craig Wilson's homer off reliever Greg Aquino tied it in the bottom of the sixth.
Wilson's homer was his second of the season and his first since May 3 during an injury-interrupted season in which he has twice spent long stretches on the disabled list with hand injuries. He had a team-high 29 homers last season.
Nippert had to persevere just to get to the majors. He and twin brother, Derik, also a pitcher in Arizona's farm system, were involved in serious auto accident in 1999. Four years later, Nippert developed a large tumor on the back of his right shoulder, but it proved to be benign. He had the elbow operation last year.
- The Pirates had lost 11 of 12.
- Fogg has allowed 27 homers in 28 starts. He left after Chad Tracy singled off his right hand in the sixth, but an MRI exam didn't reveal any injury.
- Diamondbacks OF Luis Gonzalez was expected to miss a second consecutive game with flu-like symptoms, but entered in the ninth during a double switch.
- Nippert has allowed only 10 homers in four pro seasons.
- Nippert's mother, a school aide, sold 100 tickets to the game herself.
- The Diamondbacks won 4-2 in 12 innings Monday night.

External Reviews
Review of Physics @ UCL
The Provost of UCL, Professor Malcolm Grant, instigated a series of reviews in 2009. In conclusion, the reviewing physics panel noted:
"There is no question about the quality of the research being carried out in the Physics and Astronomy Department at UCL. In numerous areas, the research is undoubtedly world-leading. We were asked to comment on the research profile of the Department which came out of the 2008 RAE exercise and we found that we were in good agreement with these judgements. In summary, the outputs are very good and are making a very significant impact on the international scene. We congratulate the Department on this performance."
UCL's submission under physics for the Research
Assessment Exercise 2008 was the second largest in UCL. It combined activities spanning three departments and several
interdisciplinary research centres.
The RAE panel considered 'the research infrastructure to be internationally excellent with world-leading aspects, and appropriate to the size and needs of the Department. Strong support from the University was noted. The sub-panel acknowledged the evidence presented of strong research strategy involving many interdisciplinary interactions, and the presence in the department of a high proportion of early career researchers as well as senior international visitors"
For further details our RAE submission see https://www.ucl.ac.uk/phys/phys/research/rae
Teaching Quality Assessment
The department is proud of the quality of its teaching, and has long had a continuing programme of internal review to maintain its own high standards. The quality was endorsed by the QAA, who awarded 23 points from a possible 24.
Teaching Quality Assessment for universities has been conducted on a subject-by-subject basis. The assessment of UCL physics took place in February 2000, when an audit team of 10 reviewed all teaching in the department of Physics & Astronomy in conjunction with the departments of Medical Physics & Bioengineering and Space & Climate Physics.
Subjects are assessed on six core aspects of provision, each of which can be awarded a maximum of four marks:
|Core aspect
|Curriculum design, content and organisation
|Teaching, learning and assessment
|Student progression and achievement
|Student support and guidance
|Learning resources
|Quality management and enhancement
The reviewers gave particular mention to the following:
- a good range of physics and astronomy courses
- an excellent fourth year of the MSci undergraduate degree, especially the research component
- excellent training in communication skills
- well-planned teaching
- highly qualified applicants for full-time degrees, with good progression rates
- good induction for new students
- a good range of learning resources and staff to manage them
- excellent laboratories, especially at the University of London Observatory and in Medical Physics
- excellent departmental and College quality assurance structures and procedures.
The full report is published by the Quality Assurance Agency
Our undergraduate programmes have also been scrutinised by a visiting panel from the Institute of Physics, and all programmes taught by the department have been given unqualified accreditation,with comments including "...there are no doubts about the standards expected and achieved at this department...", and "students are communicative, intelligent and friendly; they are very supportive of the department and are highly satisfied with their experience at UCL...".
For many years, the quality of our teaching has been continually assessed and assured by a variety of methods:
- every student is invited to fill out a confidential assessment form for every course
- the delivery of every course is monitored and critically assessed by an independent member of staff
- the staff-student Committee meets regularly to act on feedback from student representatives
- new lecturers are required to attend training courses
- all lecturers are encouraged to attend courses to enhance their teaching skills
- the departmental Teaching Committee maintains close observation of each lecturer's performance
- the Board of Examiners monitors examination results and relates these to the teacher concerned
- external Visiting Examiners scrutinise examination scripts, project reports and coursework, and report to the College on our procedures.

Man Utd 2-2 Chelsea
- From the section Football
Chelsea earned a fully deserved FA Cup quarter-final replay with an outstanding second-half comeback against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
United looked on course to get some consolation for their midweek Champions League exit against Real Madrid as early goals from Javier Hernandez and the recalled Wayne Rooney put them in complete control.
A place in the semi-final looked a formality as Chelsea struggled to make any impression - only for the second half to see a complete transformation in fortunes.
Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez once again felt the full fury of his own supporters when he replaced Frank Lampard and Victor Moses with Eden Hazard and Jon Obi Mikel not long after the restart.
The taunts were silenced by Hazard's superb strike just before the hour and another fine finish from Ramires soon after as Chelsea were revived in the most dramatic fashion.
And, as an enthralling tie reached its conclusion, Chelsea looked far more likely to secure a place in the FA Cup semi-finals and it took a save with his feet from United keeper David de Gea from Juan Mata a minute from time to deprive Benitez's side of victory.
Chelsea's fans celebrated the draw at the final whistle and Benitez will have been delighted by the spirit, resilience and quality shown by his side, who can now approach the replay at Stamford Bridge with optimism as Manchester City await the winners at Wembley in the last four.
Rooney was restored to United's starting line-up after being dropped against Real Madrid with Van Persie moving down to the role of substitute - and it was almost inevitable he would have an impact on the early events that saw United take command.
United were ahead after five minutes with a goal that owed almost as much to its creator Michael Carrick as goalscorer Hernandez.
The England midfielder showed wonderful vision with a long, angled pass into the area that left Chelsea keeper Petr Cech in two minds, but it still required clever movement and a fine header from Hernandez to score.
It was exactly what Benitez did not want and things got worse for Chelsea seven minutes later as United doubled their lead when Rooney's floated free-kick evaded all the bodies inside the area and Cech to drift in at the far post.
As Chelsea suffered this nightmare opening phase, captain John Terry could only watch from the sidelines as Benitez once again chose to leave him on the bench.
Chelsea, understandably, were pushed on to the back foot by the speed of United's start and almost fell further behind only for Cech to block Rooney from 10 yards and then produce great athleticism to save David Luiz's header from the rebound as it looked bound for the top corner.
As the half progressed, Chelsea settled and enjoyed more possession but failed to make the most of promising positions with either poor delivery or wayward finishing.
Chelsea made no impression on United early in the second half, prompting Benitez to remove Lampard and Moses for Hazard and Mikel.
The changes were greeted with jeers from Chelsea's supporters as they chanted "You don't know what you're doing" and "We want our Chelsea back" in the direction of Benitez.
And yet it was Hazard who brought Chelsea back into the game with a wonderful goal on the hour, using Rafael as a shield before curling a finish beyond United keeper De Gea.
The shift in momentum was enough to prompt Ferguson to replace Hernandez with Van Persie but Chelsea were really back in business after 67 minutes as they completed the turnaround.
Chelsea found space as they broke on United and when Oscar found Ramires, his Brazilian compatriot showed great composure to turn inside and send a precise left-foot finish into De Gea's bottom corner.
The emphasis had shifted completely with Chelsea looking the more likely winners and it was only a vital touch from De Gea's right-foot that stopped Mata giving Benitez's side the victory.
The Spaniard then saved again from Hazard as United end looking ragged and hanging on.

Maria Menounos' Perfect Night on 'DWTS'
Posted Monday April 30, 2012 11:00 PM GMT
A grinning Maria Menounos had reason to celebrate on Monday night's (April 30) episode of "Dancing with the Stars" - as she and partner Derek Hough received a perfect score.
They are the first couple to get the top digits out of this season's dancing ensembles, with the lofty mark doted unto them for their performance of a paso doble to Prokofiev's "Montagues and Capulets."
The occasionally stern judges loved what they saw, as Carrie Ann Inaba said, "That was amazing. You were so on fire," while Len Goodman added, "I loved it, fantastic!"
The welcomed compliments for Menounos and Hough were capped off with Bruno Tonioli saying that Maria was "the queen of the night," continuing with the praise by dubbing her dancing as "spellbinding."

Does Ruger Mini 14 make the cut?

I voted yes for the mini-14. It would be near the top of my list of rifles to have. I just can't make myself like the AR rifles. I have over 70 firearms and the mini is a definite favorite.
If I had only one centerfire rifle it would be my marlin 30-30 or the marlin 18984 in 357 mag. Unlike a lot of posters here I don't see myself getting into these great gun battles with swarms of attackers and holding them off with my trusty AR and 200 loaded 30 round mags. I guess I need to watch more Rambo movies.
Also my new 580 series gun will stay in the 2-3" range at a hundred yards with open sights. Thats good enough for what I want it for. And no, it doesn't string shots when it gets hot.

Flag Ship Financial Veterans Beware of Flagship Financial!!!!! Lindon Utah
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I want all Veterans to be aware of this company. I have used them in the past and had no problems. But in Jan 2013 I was contacted by them to refinance my V.A. loan. I was eager to go from 6 1/2 % to 3 1/2%. It is now June and I have been getting the run around from them. I feel they do not care about me only about how many loans they can get through. I proudly served in the Army for 4 years and through the first gulf war. Since then I have served my commpnity for 23 years as a police officer. I tell you this so you know I'm not some idiot pot head. I'm not in the refinance business but does it really take 5 months for a Streamline loan. My loan officer is rude and unprofessional. Please be careful if you choose to use this company.

Hi there! Here's how the game works:
1 point for every correct answer on beginner (this is the one you are probably on)
2 points for every correct answer on intermediate
And 3 points for every correct answer on expert.
If you want to get points faster, but aren't an expert, you can try intermediate. Once you start playing on any level, there will be a sign at the top right hand corner I believe that says: Change Levels. Click that and change it to any level you like.
EDIT: Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't see that you were on expert. Maybe there is a glitch with the game or your computer? Keep trying!
Good Luck! ~ Rosie and adoptables

You should be getting 3 points per correct answer. There might be a glitch in the game or something. I don't know why you'd have a higher score in the May game list, it should just list the points you've earned in May. You could try contacting HQ and they'll probably be able to fix it

Honestly the expert one is not even that challenging. It has only a few dogs and they constantly show the same ones over and over. Boring

Electrical bathroom vanity light fixture
I recently purchased a new vanity light fixture to put up in my master bathroom. the problem I am having is that the curcuit breaker keeps tripping when I turn the bathroom light on....
I have one yellow wire and two white that are from the wall.... and two white wires and two black wires that are on the new vanity light fixture, and the ground wire is attached to the light fixture ...
I attached the white fixture wires to the white wall wires, and the black fixture wires to the yellow wall wire, and the ground to the ground screw to the light fixture ... Did I wire this wrong and if so how should it be wired..
How was the old fixture wired? It sounds correct. Does it trip as soon as you turn on the breaker or when you turn on the switch?
Yes the old fixture was wired exactly the same... And yes as soon as you flip the light switch the the lights pop and the power is then tripped in the curcuit pannel
Sounds like a wire shorted or pinched in a clamp to short to ground.
Just to try:
On wires from light fixture: Attach only 1 black (to yellow from wall) and paired 1 white to white from wall. If trips, try other black/white from fixture. If works ok with one light, the other has a short.

The first test-bed for Rex's ideas, built in 1944, was named the 'Benial' (Irish for 'beast'). It looked much like the double-loop, lugless frame used on the Gilera-Rondine watercooled dohc 4-cyl racer of the 1930's, but it had a proper swingarm at the back with vertical hydraulic shock absorbers (from a Citroen car). "The Benial was the best-handling bicycle I ever made." Using the ideas garnered from his experiments, McCandless first designed a bolt-on rear suspension kit for rigid-frame motorcycles, which was tested publicly by the Irish grass-track racing team at Brands Hatch in 1946. Prior to the race, other riders looked askance at the rear suspension kits, but after the race, they clamored for them. Rex had no ambition to go into manufacturing, and sold the rights to the kit to Feridax, a well-known accessory maker.

Range: 91-93 points."
Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Caillerets 2009
Chardonnay from Burgundy, France
Winemaker's Notes
The Caillerets, sourced from vines planted in 1969, is perhaps the most complete wine amongst the 1er Crus. As it should be due to its distinguished position on the slope above Morgeot and Champs Gains, the Caillerets manages to bring both power and finesse to the palate. Notes of pears, peach and stone. Dry finish.
Critical Acclaim
Burghound.com - "As one would expect, this is more elegant as well as more complex with a layered and wonderfully fresh nose offering up notes of spiced pear, white peach and acacia blossom with stone hints that also suffuse the pure, detailed and round flavors that are perhaps more generous than usual as they coat the palate with sap on the tension-filled and explosive finish that is dry, serious and strikingly persistent.
International Wine Cellar - "Lemon, lime and white flowers on the nose. Quite closed in the mouth, but shows excellent cut to its pineapple, citrus and fresh herb flavors. Displays the seamless, creamy aspect of 2009 but this is still a baby today. Some youthful aggressiveness suggests it will need a good four or five years of bottle aging to come into harmony.
Range: 91+ Points"
Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Winery
Jean-Marc Pillot is the fourth generation of his branch of the Pillot family to tend vineyards in Chassagne Montrachet. He joined his father, Jean, in 1985 to learn the craft of "vigneron". After six years of working side-by-side, Jean-Marc assumed the direction of the domaine in 1991 with the assistance of his wife, Nadine, and his sister, Beatrice. Of course, his father, Jean, remains by his side rendering advice and valuable assistance in the vineyards (often while he is tending the garden in back of the chai!). Jean-Marc has instituted several changes at the estate, the most prominent of which is the construction of a new cave. Of equal importance, Jean-Marc expanded the amount of vineyards under cultivation and has made subtle modifications in vinification and elevage to place his own "mark" on this estate which now covers approximately fifteen hectares with an annual production of, more or less, 60,000 bottles.
The domaine is dominated by its production of white wines but there are important cuvées of red wine produced here as well. Vineyard holdings are spread throughout the village of Chassagne with subsidiary parcels in Puligny, Santenay, Meursault and Remigny (to the south). This breadth of real estate enables the Pillot family to produce a stunning range of wines that put on brilliant display the intricacies of terroir in this southern tier of the Cote de Beaune. The estate's jewels are its premier crus blancs (Baudines, Chenevottes, Macherelles, Vergers, Morgeot, Caillerets, La Maltroie and Champs Gain) and premier cru rouges (Macherelles, Morgeot, Clos St.Jean), all within the boundaries of Chassagne Montrachet. However, one should not overlook several gems that come from less exalted appellations, such as the Bourgogne Blanc "Grands Champs", the Bourgogne Rouge "Grandes Terres", and the expressive Santenay Rouge "Champs Claude"; and, of course, there are the fine village wines in both white and red from Chassagne. Jean-Marc also accesses grapes in very limited quantities from interesting appellations like his Montagny 1er Cru "Les Gouresses" and Saint Romain Blanc "La Perriere".

About Burgundy
Burgundy is a small region, only about a fourth the size of Bordeaux. The narrow thread of vineyard land stretches from the city of Dijon to Lyon. The five main districts of Burgundy are – from North to South - Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Maconnais, and Beaujolais. Chablis is far removed geographically (above Dijon) and adheres to its own classifications. Beaujolais is its own region due to grape variety, vinification methods and regulations. Leaving us with the Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Maconnais as the heart of Burgundy.
Grapes of the region are easy to remember - Pinot Noir for reds, Chardonnay for whites. Burgundy can be called home for both varietals, despite their increasing presence in every winemaking country. In this area red wines out number whites, although the quality for both is unparalleled.
A bit of History...Once owned and run by the church and nobility, the vineyards of Burgundy were seized during French Revolution and sold off piece by piece. Further separation occurred with Napoleonic Law, which ordered that inherited land be divided among children equally. These two factors put Burgundy where it is today – a myriad of vineyards and villages, each with a number of growers and producers.
NégociantsBurgundy is organized by plots of land and labeled as such. About half of Burgundy works on a négociant system. Growers of small plots sell grapes, or more often, barrels of already made wine, to négociant houses who then blend it with other wines from that region and put it under their label. While the négociant system may sound like a way to produce mass amounts of anonymous wines, that is, luckily, not the case. Wines are labeled with a sense of place, so you know what land you are getting. There are some négociant houses that are much more renowned and consistent than others, and for the most part, the system works. But times are changing. Some growers are purchasing more land and making the wine on their property, under their label, for more consistency. On the other side, négociant houses are buying up their own vineyards so they will have more control over winemaking.
Classification SystemThe classification system is similar to a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid is the most basic of the classifications, the Burgundy AC, meaning grapes can come from anywhere in the Burgundy region. Next up is a village wine, such as Côte de Beaune or Côte de Nuits, or the villages within these regions, like Givery-Chambertin or Puligny-Montrachet. The label will say Appellation Puligny-Montrachet Controlée. At the next level is the premier cru. A wine that says Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru will still be Appellation Puligny-Montrachet [premier cru] Controllée, but may include the premier cru vineyard name, such as Les Pucelles. At the tip of the pyramid are the grand cru vineyards. There are only 30 in the Côte d'Or and the name of the vineyard is the appellation name.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Chapters 1-3 Summary
Garth Stein's novel The Art of Racing in the Rain was first published in 2008 and has remained on several best-seller lists ever since. The story is narrated by a mixbreed dog, Enzo. In the first pages, he is looking forward to his death because he believes that after his death he will be reborn as a human. While the dog waits for this transformation, he enjoys observing the humans around him.
As the story opens, Enzo is physically falling apart. His joints stiffen up to the point where he can hardly move. He is in constant pain and is working on a plan to communicate to his owner, Denny, that it just might be time for that final one-way trip to the vet's office. Enzo knows this is a difficult decision for Denny to make, so he is attempting to encourage his owner by exaggerating some of his ailments. For example, although Enzo knows he can move, sometimes he does not respond to Denny's calls. When Denny comes home from work, there are times when all Enzo can do is barely wag his tail.
Enzo is not worried about death because he saw a documentary on television that clearly stated that dogs return to this world as humans after they die. This accounts for the close relationship between dogs and people. In the meanwhile, as Enzo contemplates his death, he often loses himself to one of his favorite pastimes: watching car races on television. Denny races cars, and Enzo considers his owner one of the best drivers. Denny is especially gifted when it comes to racing in the rain. Whereas other cars racing on the wet track will skid, Denny drives as if his car is magically void of the raindrops.
Denny and Enzo live in Seattle with Zoe, Denny's daughter. Denny's wife, Eve, died after a long illness. Denny works in an auto shop when he is not competing in races. When he is racing, he is gone for days; then he returns, often with trophies.
Enzo was born on a farm on the eastern side of the state of...

Chapters 4-6 Summary
When Enzo, as a puppy, first came home with Denny, they lived in an apartment in the Leschi neighborhood of Seattle. Enzo did not like the apartment because it felt confining, especially because he was used to having access to the open fields of the farm where he was born. But there was a nice view of Lake Washington from the window. During their first year together, Enzo's relationship with Denny grew nicely. As a matter of fact, it grew so well that Enzo questioned why Denny eventually brought a girlfriend home. Her name was Eve, and the first thing Enzo noticed about her was that she smelled sweet. The other thing Enzo immediately realized was that he was losing some of Denny's attention. Denny seemed to always want to be "pulling" on Eve, "tugging, and biting lips." Eve tried to assure Enzo that she would not come between him and Denny. But Enzo realized that she had already partially done that.
The trouble for dogs, Enzo states, is that they have no thumbs. Eve had thumbs and could do so many more interesting things than he could. Even monkeys have thumbs, and according to Enzo, monkeys are not even that smart. Surely they are not as intelligent as dogs are. Yet they were given the thumb advantage. The closest dogs have to thumbs are dew claws, the extra nail that hangs above each paw. Enzo thinks the dew claws should have evolved into thumbs, but unfortunately, humans often think the dew claws are not worth anything and usually have the vet cut them off when dogs are mere puppies.
After Eve moved in, she began making to-do lists for Denny that kept him busy whenever he was not at work or attending a race. Enzo believes Denny did these chores more than willingly because of the reward he received later in the day when he and Eve retired to the romping they did in bed.
After Denny and Eve were married, Enzo noticed Eve's belly growing larger. Enzo also witnessed all the affection Eve lavished on that...

Chapters 7-9 Summary
When Zoe was a few months old, Eve put her in daycare and returned to her job at a department store. Denny was working all day at the auto parts store, so Enzo was left alone for the first time. Denny used to have a job that allowed him to work at home. When Eve was pregnant, she stayed at home, too. But with the new routine everyone was gone and Enzo felt abandoned. His days felt long, and all he could do was nap or stare out the windows. He really hated it.
Then one day, Denny forgot to turn off the television set before he left, and Enzo found one of the joys of his life. He watched television. The first day, he was entertained and educated by the Weather Channel. He learned about hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other exciting natural disasters. Time passed much more quickly. When Denny returned, he was surprised at how much Enzo appeared to enjoy watching the TV screen. So he decided from that day forward to leave the television on for Enzo, to entertain him while the rest of the family was gone. Enzo's favorite station was the Speed Channel, which only showed car racing.
One day, Denny came home with a photograph that made Eve cry. Enzo was not sure why she did this. He looked at the picture, but it had little effect on him. He did not realize it was a photo of their new house. Shortly afterward, everything, including Enzo's bed, was packed and moved to the new place. When things were set, Denny took Enzo into the new backyard, where they played one of Enzo's favorite games, fetch. After they put Zoe to bed that first night in their new home, Enzo watched as Denny and Eve rolled around naked, clutching one another, in each of the house's rooms.
Another incident in Enzo's life was less exciting. One day much later, when Eve bent down to lower Enzo's food dish to the floor, Enzo sniffed Eve's ear. He smelled something he did not like. The smell reminded him of something rotten, and it appeared to be...
(The entire section is 672 words.)
Chapters 10-12 Summary
Enzo is locked in the house when Eve leaves with Zoe. Denny is out of town for a race. Enzo does not panic. He is a dog, and a dog knows how to fast, how to conserve himself until he finds food. Enzo says that when God refused to give dogs thumbs, he gave dogs the ability to go for long periods of time without nourishment. If only God had given Enzo a thumb, he thinks, he could have opened the pantry door and torn open the bag of kibble. Instead, Enzo searches the floor for fallen food and drinks water out of the toilet bowl.
Enzo waits three days before Denny comes home. On the third day, Enzo thinks he starts hallucinating. When he goes into Zoe's room, he sees one of her stuffed animals dancing. It is a zebra Denny's parents sent to Zoe as a gift. After dancing, the zebra begins abusing the other toys before ripping open his own seams and pulling out his insides. Enzo cannot believe what he has seen.
When Denny returns home, he discovers that Eve left Enzo behind for three days. He yells at her, saying that Enzo could have died. Eve says she was sick and was not thinking. Then Zoe comes out of her room in tears. When Denny and Eve see the mess in her room, they curse Enzo for the ruined toys. Enzo takes their harassment. He is unable to explain that it was all the zebra's fault.
Later that night, Enzo crawls up to Denny, who is sitting on the back porch. Enzo is unsure if Denny is still angry with him. Then he notices that Denny is drinking some hard liquor and that his mood is more relaxed. Denny apologizes to Enzo for having yelled at him. Enzo places his head in Denny's lap. Then Denny announces that he won the race he had been attending, and he was offered a great position on a professional team. The only problem is that Denny would have to be away from Enzo, Eve, and Zoe for six months at a time. Denny asks Enzo if he should do this. Enzo, of course, cannot tell him, but he thinks that although it might be...

Chapters 13-15 Summary
Enzo offers a story that concerns crows. He does not like the birds; he thinks they are sneaky and jealous of their cousins, the regal ravens. Enzo is fascinated and somewhat pleased when the crows make a very poor decision one day in Enzo's backyard.
Enzo has spent a lot of time studying crows. He knows how clever they are in scavenging for food. They can open garbage cans, tear through cellophane bags, and steal plastic grocery bags from off the porch. This is exactly what a flock of crows does this day.
Eve goes shopping and returns with so many bags that she cannot carry all of them into the house at the same time. She brings them from the car to the porch, then she takes them from the porch to the...
(The entire section is 707 words.)
Chapters 16-18 Summary
Denny has a successful stretch of races, and Eve has a period of good health. The family's tensions are at least temporarily toned down. In the place of yelling and arguing, Enzo hears laughter and loves it. He also loves that big names from the sports racing world are showing up for dinner. Enzo enjoys listening to the racers' conversations. He is also proud of Zoe, who has developed her communication skills and can repeat some of her dad's most frequently spoken philosophies about car racing. Because Enzo cannot talk, he lives vicariously through Zoe; she often says what he thinks he would say if he had the chance.
Denny's lucky streak comes to an end, however, when another car side-swipes his in one of the...

Chapters 19-22 Summary
Mike, Denny's coworker, appears in the parking lot at the hospital where Enzo is sitting with Denny. Enzo hears Denny tell Mike that there is some kind of mass growing inside Eve's head. No one will know if it is a tumor until they go inside, Denny says. Denny does not know how long Eve will be in the hospital, but makes plans for Mike to take care of Enzo until he finds out.
When Enzo arrives at Mike's house, Mike's roommate, Tony, takes the stuffed dog Enzo likes to sleep with and puts it into the washing machine. Enzo feels humiliated and wants to hate Tony for defiling his toy dog. Of course, Enzo also feels a little embarrassed that he still sleeps with the stuffed animal, the first toy Denny bought him as...

Denny reluctantly gives in to Eve's parents' request to take care of their daughter. Eve will need a nurse to be on hand but Denny has to work during the day. Maxwell and Trish are retired, so they can be at home with Eve, and they can afford the nursing care. Once Denny relents, Maxwell and Trish put pressure on Denny to also allow them to care for Zoe. At first, Denny resists. Then he realizes that maybe it would be best for Eve to have Zoe near her all day.
A few days later, Denny takes Zoe and Enzo to his in-law's home. A hospital bed has been set up in the living room. Then Eve arrives. This...

Chapters 25-26 Summary
In the middle of winter, Enzo, Denny, and Zoe join some of Eve's extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins, and they all travel up into the mountains for a week of skiing and snowshoeing. While there, the family members embrace Denny, Zoe, and even Enzo, but Enzo questions why they had to wait for a family crisis to do so. Although Enzo had been acquainted with them, this is the first time the extended family has demonstrated such an interest in Denny's family.
The snow sports are fun, but Enzo is not a fan of cold weather. But he has to admit that one of his favorite times is when the family builds a fire outside after dinner. The nights are crisp and the stars are incredible, but Enzo most enjoys the blaze...

Eve's doctors had predicted that she would live another six months at most. After eight months pass and Eve is still alive, she decides to have a party. Enzo looks around at the people who have come. Everyone seems happy, or at least they pretend too be. Even Zoe seems to be in a good mood—funnier than Enzo has seen her in months.
As they are about to leave, Enzo hears Denny tell Eve how much he loves her and how much he wants her to come home. Eve responds by telling him that she wants to go home and one day will. When Denny goes to say goodnight to Zoe, Eve talks to Enzo. She tells him that she had been wrong to stay at her parents' home all this time. She should have been with Denny. She also thanks Enzo for...

Denny offers to let Zoe stay home from school, but she insists on going. After Denny takes Zoe to school, he and Enzo go to a cafe for coffee and a sweet roll. They sit at an outside table and are soon joined by a man that Enzo describes as being not fat but very round. The man is a customer at the auto shop where Denny works, and he is a lawyer.
The man reads the papers Eve's parents gave Denny, which state that they are suing Denny for custody of Zoe. When Denny tells the attorney that his in-laws also said that Eve had requested that Zoe live with them, the lawyer says that it makes no difference what might have been said or even what Eve might have wanted. The surviving parent is the only one who has a right to...

The legal costs are beyond Denny's ability to make money.

A few days after Eve's death, Denny takes Enzo for a long walk. Enzo thinks Denny is seeking change because he bypasses his jeans and instead wears a nice pair of dark slacks.

This one is wilder than the first, and Enzo runs through briars up and down the hills. Then to Enzo's surprise, Denny does not turn back to go home.

But Denny's father insisted that Denny stay at home to help run the farm and take care of his mother. When Denny decided to leave, his father told him that he would never again speak to him. Denny called every year at Christmas, but neither his mother nor his father would respond. Denny continued calling. Then when Eve died and Denny lost Zoe, he called his parents again and asked them for...

Chapters 57-58 Summary
The day after the trial, Mr. Lawrence informs Denny that Eve's parents have dropped their custody suit. They ask only that Denny give them a couple of days to say good-bye to Zoe. Denny is under no obligation to grant them their request, but he does so. He spends his time preparing for Zoe's return. One of his tasks is to make her favorite cookies.
While he is baking the cookies, the phone rings. On the other end of the line is Luca Pantoni, calling from Italy. Luca is returning Denny's call. Denny asks him if the job offer he had made is still open. Luca tells Denny that the job is still his, and he looks forward to meeting both his dog and his daughter. Before Luca hangs up, Denny wants to know why Luca chose...

Seventy-four percent of men treated with a combination of radiation seed implants and external beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer are cured of their disease 15 years following their treatment, according to a study released today in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official journal of ASTRO.
This study was conducted by the physicians at the Seattle Prostate Institute. Doctors wanted to look at the combination of seed implants and external beam radiation therapy, two different types of radiation therapy, to prolong the long-term disease cure rates for prostate cancer. Over the course of 15 years, doctors followed 232 men with early-stage prostate cancer who received a course of external beam radiation therapy followed by permanent seed implants a few weeks later. Sixty-five percent of these patients had T2b-T3 disease and the entire group had an average pre-treatment PSA of 15 ng/ml.
Seed implants, also called brachytherapy, are small radioactive pellets, each about the size of a grain of rice. The seeds are inserted into the prostate through small needles during a brief outpatient procedure. External beam radiation therapy involves a series of 25 short daily outpatient treatments, where a radiation oncologist precisely directs high energy radiation beams to kill cancer cells.
"This study is exciting because it shows that the combination of brachytherapy and external beam therapy are successful long-term at curing men of their prostate cancer," said John E. Sylvester, M.D., lead author of the study and the Director of the Seattle Prostate Institute in Seattle. "This is good news for men with prostate cancer since radiation therapy is less invasive, spares healthy tissue and helps patients return to regular activities sooner than surgery."
For more information about prostate cancer treatment options, please visit http://www.rtanswers.org.
ASTRO is the largest radiation oncology society in the world, with more than 8,500 members who specialize in treating patients with radiation therapies. As the leading organization in radiation oncology, biology and physics, the Society is dedicated to the advancement of the practice of radiation oncology by promoting excellence in patient care, providing opportunities for educational and professional development, promoting research and disseminating research results and representing radiation oncology in a rapidly evolving socioeconomic healthcare environment.

It may have been the greatest Canadiana convergence in history. The national team's brawl at the World Baseball Classic found its way onto Hockey Night in Canada on the same night HNIC paid tribute to Stompin' Tom Connors. Ann Murray's tour bus crashing into a Tim Hortons drive-thru wouldn't achieve the same critical mass of culture.
Saturday, Canada's entry at the WBC beat Mexico 10-4 for its only win of the tourney. But the real story was Canadians being tossed from the game for their donnybrook with the Mexicans. The last punch was barely thrown before Canadian baseball legend Larry Walker (a coach with Team Canada) began plumping for some love on Coach's Corner later that night.
"It's Saturday night," Walker told reporters. "It's Hockey Night in Canada. Don Cherry can't wait to get on the air." (As if Don Cherry needs an excuse to watch a fight.)
No sooner said than done. Coach's Corner instantly became Baseball Night in Canada with Cherry clucking approvingly over good old Canadian boys duking it out with them Mexicans. "Watch him, boom, the lefthander gets him down..." Cherry cackled over footage of the brawl.
Somehow Cherry avoided noting that the Canadians didn't wear visors on their batting helmets. So we can be thankful for small mercies.
Waker also scored better post-fight quotes than anything in hockey for 20 years. Talking about grabbing Mexico's Alfredo Aceves, "I had a hold of him, and I think I saw Satan in his eyes. It was scary."
Walker was also fired up for his country, "I look up there and see a sea of red with Canada written across it. Just wanted to fire the Canadian people up there a little bit... Nobody's jerseys were tied down on the back. We could've gone into the stands. See what happens. Pull 'em over their heads and throw some haymakers."
The former Expos great knew his team was playing to type, "Nobody will be surprised that Team Canada was involved. Because that's what they'll say. All those damn hockey players. I don't think this was necessarily started by us. We were invited into it, so we danced."
While all this was going on, polls were saying Justin Trudeau will be the next prime minister of Canada. Discuss.
In the wake of the Canada/Mexico tiff, Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays says that it's important to respect the "unwritten rules of the game". As in, don't run up a score even though the tournament rules say you need to run up a score in case of a tiebreaker.
That commandment joins other unwritten rules such as the phantom tag at second, corking your bat for power or taking PEDs so long as you don't get caught.
Oh, and one other unwritten rule. If you play for Canada's only major league team, put a sock in it when someone asks you to critique the one glimmer of good news Team Canada saw at the WBC.
Nice Stompin Tom tribute on HNIC Saturday, but why were the Canadiens and Maple Leafs the only Canadian teams in the montage? Yes, the Habs and Leafs were the early teams on Saturday, but what about Calgary, the doubleheader team? The Flames were ignored along with the other four Canadian teams.
Stompin' Tom would have insisted that the national game use the rest of the clubs, no? And he'd probably have gotten a hoot out of the Canadian cultural intelligentsia fawning over him in death when they wouldn't have had him in their Rosedale condos in life.
The Chicago Blackhawks consecutive-games-with-points streak is over. And so is ESPN's long national nightmare of trying to find someone (anyone) on staff who knows what goes on in the NHL. Since dropping the NHL, ESPN has treated hockey like a red-headed stepchild.
So when Chicago pillaged the NHL, the World Wide Leader In (Other) Sports was compelled to have its announcers talking about the effect of tie games in the NHL (they've been gone since 2005) and posting clever polls such as "which would be the bigger blowout: Chicago over Miami in hockey or Miami over Chicago in basketball?"
Now that Chicago's lost two straight, the folks in Bristol can go back to Barry Melrose and his extended audition for Kingpins Part Deux.

Stepping on La Pedrera Beach, �From Here to Eternity� came to me instantly: I could not believe my eyes and that famous scene in the movie. You know the scene where Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster and that iconic kiss on the beach. The kiss and visioning them here on this beach filming that scene-wow strange.
One more thing if you come here during the beginning of the off-season you might encounter a stray dog or two. One of them might decide to stay with you and follow you everywhere you go during your entire stay. To be on the safe side, get a rabies shot before making the trip.
Cabo Polonio and La Pedrera-a must see!!!

Kokomo Humane Society
Our Adoptable Pet List
Click here to see our Happy Tails!
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND WHEN SEARCHING FOR A NEW FRIEND... The Kokomo Humane Society houses close to 70-90 adoptable animals. Each day, we adopt out and take in animals - so our list of available animals changes daily. Therefore, we are not able to put every animal on our 'Adoptable List" as it would have to be updated essentially every couple of hours. Having a small staff that also must attend to the needs of the animals as well as our customers, we are unable to update our listing each time a new animal comes in. We encourage you to please contact the shelter if there is a specific type of animal you are interested in or to keep checking every couple of days to see changes and additions to our Pet List.
Please visit our regular website to learn more about the Kokomo Humane Society, our programs and services. Go to:
Our Featured Pet...
All our adopted pets are now microchipped! When you adopt your new best friend, we will microchip and register him or her. We now provide a gift of 30 days of PetHealth Pet Insurance to all adopted animals. This insurance policy, in effect two days after the adoption, covers many potential health issues that may affect adopted animals. For further information on microchipping or PetHealth insurance, call us at 765-452-6224
Who We Are
The Kokomo Humane Society, established in 1891, has been helping animals in need for 115 years. We offer shelter and care for lost, stray or homeless animals. We provide animal control services for Kokomo, Howard County and other area communities. We work to find lifetime homes for our animals. The Kokomo Humane Society Education Department presents programs to hundreds of children and adults each year. We are located at 713 North Elizabeth Street in Kokomo, Indiana. You may reach us by phone at 765-452-6224.
Adopting a friend
Our adoption fee is $120 for dogs and cats over 6 months and $130 for puppies and kittens under 6 months. If the animal you choose to adopt is in need of spaying/neutering, we will transport the animal to a local vet for altering. After the surgery, the new owners will then pick the animal up at the vet. Please ask about reduced adoption fees on special pets! Visit our website at www.kokomohumane.org. for a complete listing.
We require that those wishing to adopt visit the Kokomo Humane Society in person. We must meet and speak with prospective adopters. We do not do any transporting or shipping of animals.
Come Visit Us!
Our shelter is open for adoption, visitation, and reclaiming from 12pm-5pm Monday thru Saturday

Big Greasy Breakfast
Cooking up an American tradition
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Big greasy breakfast (BGB) is an American tradition that predates the diners and greasy spoons where it came of age.
It's a breakfast that nourished colonies, powered pioneers and helped homesteaders break the plains. It's a breakfast that requires no fresh ingredients, and thus can be made with nonperishable ingredients all winter long.
Bacon, eggs and potatoes form the big greasy backbone of this meal. Bacon provides both meat and grease, and can be substituted with olive oil, and other meat if you like. Whether your grease is pork fat, butter or oil, it's important that it be of the highest quality.
Potatoes give their earthy starch to the meal, and can be substituted with biscuits. Although I prefer my carbohydrates unprocessed, the pioneers did love them some flapjacks. As for eggs, there is simply no substitute in my big greasy heart. You either have them or you don't. And if you don't, it isn't a BGB.
There are also some condiments worth having close at hand that will help make the most of your BGB. Did the pioneers have hot sauce? Probably not, which is depressing. But the most pressing question is: Did they have coffee?
Unlike wine, morning vino can be enjoyed all day long without putting you to sleep or giving you a hangover. In fact, a good cup of coffee, with a BGB on the side, is a respected remedy for (and prophylactic against) hangovers.
The fact that there is no freshly grown produce in a BGB makes it a great wintertime breakfast for local-foods freaks. And in these plush modern times of Tamworth bacon and other specialty greasy meats, not to mention condiments galore, the rustic roots of BGB can be dolled-up in wondrous fashion.
Along with coffee and hot sauce, the final condiment in most BGB equations are creamy products such as cheese, sour cream or mayo. My favorite crème is a fake mayo called Vegenaise. It may seem strange to put a vegan product atop your BGB, but it's all about efficacy. On that note, I'll leave you with some advice on making a simple BGB in a single pan—you know, for when you're camping, or just have one clean pan, or don't want to create extra dishes.
Fry some bacon pieces on low/medium, with added olive oil if the bacon is lean. Thin-slice some potatoes and add them to the pan, and let them slowly cook. Arrange the potato slices to maximize contact with the pan. The bacon will be done cooking and need to be temporarily removed from the pan so it doesn't burn, long before the potatoes are done. To speed the potatoes you can add a little water to the pan, and seal it with a lid (leave the bacon in). When the water steams off the potatoes will be done and starting to crisp in the remaining oil. Keeping the pan below medium allows potatoes and meat to slowly brown and crisp without burning. If you haven't already made coffee, do it now.
When the potatoes are nearly cooked, add any additional meat you wish to include. Along with steak, most any kind of sausage, made with good meat and fat, will do as well.
When meat and potatoes are cooked, add some chopped garlic and, if you want, some form of chile. Then, clear a spot on the bottom of the pan by pushing potatoes and meat to the sides. If the spot doesn't look greasy enough, add some oil. Turn the pan up to medium and wait for it to heat, then add some beaten eggs to the hot oil.
Even though everything is going to the same place, I make an attempt to keep the eggs, potatoes, and meat separate from each other, which becomes increasingly difficult as you scramble the eggs. I let the eggs cook a moment before scrambling, to build up some body. But don't burn them. If you do, you might well go back to bed and start over.
If not cooking everything in a single pan, one can oven roast the potatoes separately. Indeed, the opportunities afforded by bacon, eggs and potatoes are near-endless.
If I'm not in a hurry I might soft boil the eggs and set them atop browned potatoes and crispy, greasy meat, or scramble the eggs in oil with salt and pepper and serve them on the side in their unadulterated bright yellow splendor. Or, at dinner, scramble the eggs with steamed broccoli and Patak's curry sauce.
It's like that old expression, all roads lead to Rome. As an American, I'm a child of the BGB, and I'm always going home. I just hope there's coffee on.

Survivors of Fort Hoodmassacre are frustrated by lack of court progress
Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre say they are frustrated because the man accused of the shootings that killed 32 people has yet to face a court martial.
Specialist Fred Greene of Johnson County, Tennessee died in those attacks.
The shootings happened November 5th, 2009; that's three years ago Monday.
Nadal Hasan was charged immediately, but three of his trial dates have passed. The delays began when Hasan fired his civilian attorney and have continued while the courts decide if the Muslim man should have to shave his beard for his appearance in court.
The courts decided he must shave his beard, but Hasan hasn't seen the courtroom since.
Now family members of those that were killed in the massacre say they just want closure.

These days it becomes increasingly confusing as to who is on which side of the tragedy which daily occurs in Egypt. The Islamic Muslim Brotherhood has been crushed due to its incompetence although fundamentalists belonging to the Salafists are beaming with joy at failure of fundamentalists to retain power in Egypt. Let me explain. Salafists seek to impose a religious centered government which adheres to the belief that solving economic problems relies on imposing religious values and beliefs on the population. So, they have allied with secular groups that seek to end religious ideas as the center of society.
I admit to a bit of confusion. Egypt desperately requires placing in authority technocrats who make decisions based, not on religion but upon economic reality. The economy must move in the direction of technology, an intelligent economic plan and unleashing the creative talents of Egyptians. Sorry, this will not occur if religious fanatics prefer God over a booming economy. There is a time for purity and a time for food on the table.
