Is K9 Advantix safe for pregnant and lactating bitches? I've found mixed messages all over the internet. Safe or not?
She's a four year old, healthy, pregnant toy poodle. She is due to deliver this weekend. Is it safe to apply K9 Advantix on her? So many websites have said yes, but there are a few that say no, which scares me to death. I don't want to do anything to harm my dog or her babies, but I cannot have them born into a flea infested home either. We've been using this product for years. Is it safe for her in her condition?

I would not use it this close to whelping... there is the potential that the babies could ingest it while nursing, which would not be safe!

I would follow the box and don't apply
The pups could lick it from her fur and it is not healthy for mom dog.
You can check out natural sprays instead like peppermint and lemon grass sprays. Sometimes the natural way is best for pregnant moms. :)

With an issue so serious, here say is un reliable and dangerious. Please check with the company who makes the product. The name and phone number should always be on the box or inside the infomation page. If you dont have it anymore - go to the store and look at the box.

K9 ADVANTIX IS NOT SAFE FOR PREGNANT OR LACTATING BITCHES! I applied it for the first time to a dog about two weeks from delivering maybe three years ago. The entire litter of puppies died within two days. I dismissed it as being some other type of problem, it was her first litter here with me. Recently, I applied the product to another bitch who was also close to two weeks from delivering. I didn't want puppies born to a dog with fleas, and everything I found online and on the product box said it was safe. She delivered four days ago and 8 of her 9 puppies died within three days of birth! Why the manufacturer would say that this product is safe to apply to pregnant dogs is unfathomable. Not worth the risk, don't do it!

I have a 6yr old male Bichon Frise that we added to our family about a month ago. When we first got him, he had just been groom and we could see his pink skin with slight black spots on his tummy. Since then we have noticed the back of his ears and his back area turn darker and darker. Is this normal for this breed? Should I be worried?

I had a similar experience with my dog (different breed) when he chewed and scratched himself to the point of getting bald spots last year. (Flea infestation.) He got gray spots on his exposed skin after a while. When I asked about it I was told that it was most likely from more exposure to the sun than his skin is used to.

What is Variable Data Printing?
Variable-data printing (VDP) (also known as variable-information printing (VIP) or VI) is a form of digital printing, including on-demand printing, in which elements such as text, graphics and images may be changed from one printed piece to the next, without stopping or slowing down the printing process and using information from a database or external file.
For example, a set of personalized letters, each with the same basic layout, can be printed with a different name and address on each letter. Variable data printing is mainly used for direct marketing, customer relationship management, advertising, invoicing and applying addressing on self-mailers, brochures or postcard campaigns.
Client Stories

The DigiPOP templates simply ran right through the iGen press and were ready to assemble – each one personalized.Read More- Mike Freethy Senior Solution Strategist, DMM

Sometimes it's the little things in life that make you smile. When I headed out a few days ago to enjoy the double-digit temperatures that arrived just in time for the weekend, there was a lot of smiling happening. This light and breezy outfit represents everything I look forward to during a rainy Vancouver winter: tank tops, warm nights, afternoons on the beach, sunglasses, cool drinks, and relaxation.
Both the tank and jeans are new additions to my closet, and I think they are a match made in heaven. My Temperance tank is flowy and feminine with precision crocheting and embroidery, and my blush Joe Fresh jeans are the exact shade of pastel pink that I look for in a spring pant. Combined, they create a minimalistic outfit that's perfect for any spring activity, especially smiling.
Other things that are making me smile right now:
1) My handmade shoe shelf
2) Sleeping in on Saturdays
3) The new workout routine I started two weeks ago
4) House of Cards – I can't stop watching it!
5) Unexpected flowers

Give them some time. Your kitten is a baby and has a lot of new things to adjust to. It also will take your older cats time to adjust to the newcomer. I tell people to allow two weeks to two months minimum time for an adult cat to adjust to a new situation, although quite often adult cats will accept a kitten more quickly than that.
I find a lot of times older cats will first tolerate the kitten, then begin to mother the kitten, washing its ears, letting it sleep near her, etc. After that it seems that often an adult cat at first will play with a kitten when humans are NOT watching & act almost embarrassed when her humans catch her playing with the youngster. After this phase the cat & kitten will play although at times the kitten is likely to get pushy with the adult or play too roughly & then the adult will discipline the kitten with a firm swat.
Also have your adult cats vet checked to make sure they're healthy so they'll feel like playing with a youngster.

The increasing frequency of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by colistin-only susceptible (COS) gram-negative bacteria (GNB) is of great concern. Adjunctive aerosolized (AS) colistin can reportedly increase alveolar levels of the drug without increasing systemic toxicity. Good clinical results have been obtained in patients with cystic fibrosis, but conflicting data have been reported in patients with VAP.
We conducted a retrospective, 1:1 matched case-control study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AS plus IV colistin vs IV colistin alone in 208 patients in the ICU with VAP caused by COS Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Compared with the IV colistin cohort, the AS-IV colistin cohort had a higher clinical cure rate (69.2% vs 54.8%, P = .03) and required fewer days of mechanical ventilation after VAP onset (8 days vs 12 days, P = .001). In the 166 patients with posttreatment cultures, eradication of the causative organism was also more common in the AS-IV colistin group (63.4% vs 50%, P = .08). No between-cohort differences were observed in all-cause ICU mortality, length of ICU stay after VAP onset, or rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) during colistin therapy. Independent predictors of clinical cure were trauma-related ICU admission (P = .01) and combined AS-IV colistin therapy (P = .009). Higher mean Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (P = .002) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (P = .05) scores, septic shock (P < .001), and AKI onset during colistin treatment (P = .04) were independently associated with clinical failure.
Our results suggest that AS colistin might be a beneficial adjunct to IV colistin in the management of VAP caused by COS GNB.

For all us Texans, the law is in process of being changed, but our voices need to be heard by our representatives. See following (clipped from NRA-ILA :: NRA-Backed Employee/Parking Lot Protection Legislation Passes Texas Senate Overwhelmingly without Gutting Amendments!)
"...the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 321 by a 30 to 1 vote today with no gutting amendments. Introduced by state Senator Glenn Hegar (R-Katy), SB 321 is an NRA-backed bill that would prevent employers from enacting and enforcing policies to prohibit employees from storing firearms in their locked private motor vehicles while parked at work. Texas gun owners should not have to worry about being fired for lawfully storing a firearm in their personal vehicle should they choose to carry a handgun for self-defense during their daily commutes or to transport firearms to and from their hunting leases or local shooting ranges.
SB 321 will now move to the state House for consideration - we will keep you posted on further action items once it receives a committee referral in that chamber. The fight is not over! These companies will continue to fight for notice requirements and exemptions in the House, so be aware of where they stand and be prepared to direct calls and e-mails into House offices in opposition to such requirements and industry "carve-outs"."

The Series::lss message is generated when Mathematica attempts to
compute the logarithm of a series in which the coefficients depend
on the expansion variable. A power series expansion in which the
coefficients depend on the expansion variable is already a
bit peculiar, since it means that the expansion isn't a power
series expansion at all, but something else entirely. Such
expansions are convenient in many situations, which is the reason
they are not immediately rejected, but some manipulations, such
as the one you mentioned, will not always give useful results.
The solution to this problem is to add more general types of
series expansions other than power series expansions. Doing
this correctly is a formidable undertaking, and will probably
have to wait until a future release of Mathematica.

He's the man he knows everyone. So I meet Mark and we hit it off and he introduced me to all the young Hawaiian kids. I did a series of portraits on all these guys and he was my conduit. He was the guy, and to this day Mark's a good friend of mine. In Hawaii, he kind of started my thing. This is shot with a medium format. And look how young he is! He is the greatest waterman in the world. Every time I see him I wish I could do him proud by catching a huge wave in front of him 'cause he's one of those guys, you know, you're like, "Yeah he's my friend, but I wish I could impress him." Very hard to impress Mark Healey probably, but socially we're really good friends. I probably impress him socially. I saw him last December and he said, "Sherm you look the same as when I met you in '98."

Great skis.

from Colorado, USA
I have skied with them about 5 times now and I love them more each time. I am an intermediate skier and I think the skis are great. I have never purchased skis made specifically for women, and now there's no way I'd go back to my old, clunky, heavy skis. I love how light they are and how well they respond. I was nervous about buying skis online without trying them out first, but the video reviews on these skis were right on. I have no regrets about buying them.

Fetal development continues during the third trimester. Your baby will open his or her eyes, gain more weight, and prepare for delivery.
The end of your pregnancy is near! By now, you might be tired of being pregnant — and eager to meet your baby face to face. Your uterus, however, is still a busy place. Understand how fetal development continues as you approach your due date. Here's a weekly calendar of events for the third trimester. Keep in mind that measurements are approximate.
Twenty-eight weeks into your pregnancy, or 26 weeks after conception, your baby's eyelids are partially open and eyelashes have formed. Your baby is gaining weight, which is smoothing out many of the wrinkles in his or her skin.
By now your baby might be nearly 10 inches (250 millimeters) long from crown to rump and weigh nearly 2 1/4 pounds (1,000 grams). Otherwise healthy babies born this week have a 90 percent chance of survival without physical or neurological impairment — and the odds improve with each passing week.
Twenty-nine weeks into your pregnancy, or 27 weeks after conception, your baby's bones are fully developed, but they're still soft and pliable.
Thirty weeks into your pregnancy, or 28 weeks after conception, your baby's eyes are wide open a good part of the time. Your baby might have a good head of hair by this week. Red blood cells are now forming in your baby's bone marrow.
By now your baby might be more than 10 1/2 inches (270 millimeters) long from crown to rump and weigh nearly 3 pounds (1,300 grams).
Thirty-one weeks into your pregnancy, or 29 weeks after conception, your baby's central nervous system has matured to the stage where it can control body temperature.
Thirty-two weeks into your pregnancy, or 30 weeks after conception, your baby's toenails are visible.
Although your baby's lungs aren't fully formed, he or she practices breathing. Your baby's body begins absorbing vital minerals, such as iron and calcium from the intestinal tract. The layer of soft, downy hair that has covered your baby's skin for the past few months — known as lanugo — starts to fall off this week.
By now your baby might be 11 inches (280 millimeters) long from crown to rump and weigh 3 3/4 pounds (1,700 grams).
Thirty-three weeks into your pregnancy, or 31 weeks after conception, your baby's pupils can constrict, dilate and detect light entering his or her eyes.

The Gillard Government's carbon tax cash payments to families have failed to boost its popularity with one of its worst ever poll results coming on the same day Labor claimed victory in the Melbourne by-election.
In the latest Newspoll, published in News Ltd papers today, Labor's primary vote dropped three percentage points to 28 per cent - 2 points off its all-time low in May 2010 - and the first time in three months it has slipped below 30 per cent.
The Coalition also went backwards - down two points to 46 per cent - while support for independents and the minor parties, apart from the Greens - who recorded 11 per cent - improved to 15 per cent.
After preferences, the Coalition holds a 10 point election-thumping lead over Labor.
While extending his lead as preferred prime minister over Julia Gillard by four points - 40 per cent to 36 per cent - Opposition Leader Tony Abbott recorded his worst satisfaction rating of 30 per cent.
Despite this, if an election were held today, the Coalition would sweep Labor from power with a commanding lead of 56 per cent to 44 per cent on two party-preferred terms.
The poll slump comes in the wake of a shower of cash handouts from the government to swathes of middle Australia as it moves to insulate families from rising costs associated with the carbon tax.
But the polls have remained virtually stagnant this year and any movement has been in the opposite direction to the one the government has been hoping for.
The latest result will set off a fresh round of leadership speculation, speculation that has barely died down since last week when chief government whip Joel Fitzgibbon, a Kevin Rudd supporter, told ABC television that if leaders stay unpopular for long enough ''they'll inevitably stop leading the party''.
Responding to critics who perceived his comments as an attempt to stir division on the Labor leadership , Mr Fitzgibbon said: ''Shock horror, a politician who calls it as he sees it. People aren't mugs - it's a historical fact that political leaders who poll badly long enough don't remain political leaders."
Trade Minister Craig Emerson said today the political impasse over asylum seekers was mainly to blame for Labor's slump in the polls.
''No-one gets a lot of marks for a parliament gridlocked, just as they don't in the United States when the place is gridlocked,'' Dr Emerson told Sky News.
The minister was referring to the last week in June when legislation legalising offshore processing of asylum seekers failed to clear parliament because of opposition from the coalition and the Greens.
Dr Emerson insisted the government was more concerned with ensuring the right policies for Australia's future were in place than its standing in the polls.
''When you have a reforming prime minister, you can go into situations where you are not doing well in the polls,'' he said, referring to the 62 per cent dissatisfied with Julia Gillard's performance.
Today, Ms Gillard said she did not comment on opinion polls but told reporters that if you want to make big reforms, you have to "stick to your guns".
"Government is about governing, its about getting the big things done, the hard things done," she said in Sydney.
"If we look at our Labor history, it teaches us that the big reforms don't come easy."
Liberal frontbencher George Brandis was first out this morning to credit Mr Abbott's leadership for the Opposition's emphatic poll numbers, adding that the survey results had not changed much at all in 16 months.
''We're not shedding any tears over this poll this morning,'' he told Sky News.
Senator Brandis said Labor's fall from favour coincided with the government's decision to introduce the carbon tax.
''That's the point at which the government's popularity and respect for Julia Gillard fell off a cliff and it hasn't recovered since.''
Meanwhile, the Victorian Greens used social media to officially concede their loss in the Melbourne by-election.
Greens candidate Cathy Oke congratulated Labor's Jennifer Kanis on winning the seat this morning.
Labor won the seat by 51.4 per cent to the Greens's 48.6 per cent on a two-party preferred basis.

The first time the Trayvon Martin story hit me hard was when I heard it on FOX News. Before then, I only knew the basics: another unarmed Black kid had been shot dead by someone who thought he was carrying a weapon when in fact all he was packing was something harmless – in this case a pack of Skittles.
This says something shameful about me. I had become so used to Black kids getting killed for no reason that it had folded itself into my litany of reasons that the world is going to shit. Right up there with Global Warming or something – genuinely horrible, but no surprise.
But then they played the 911 call George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin's killer, made to the local police. He sounded both panicked and cocksure as he reported someone "suspicious" in his neighborhood. It's easy to decode that kind of talk, and it rang loud and clear – especially on FOX where hosts, pundits, and guests express concern about "still" not knowing where our President "stands on the issues" or his "questionable" associations and background.
Things started to crystallize for me. Suddenly I was a teenager again, watching as many of my friends were looked upon and dealt with, with "suspicion." Listening to Zimmerman's call made it impossible to go back to the place I had settled into in the middle of my life. His racism was a genuine poison that hit me with a forcefulness I hadn't felt in years. I speak no bullshit when I say I could feel the infection.
It only got worse. There was the call Trayvon Martin made to his girlfriend while George Zimmerman followed him. The kid was worried. She told him to run. He said he wouldn't, but that he would walk faster. And that's when it really kicked in. Not just the sadness, the tragedy, and the injustice, but the horror. This was a kid who went to the store to get himself some candy and found himself followed home. The situation every kid is taught to be afraid of, and every parent's nightmare.
The final moments of Trayvon Martin's life must have been terrifying. Picture yourself as a teenager out getting your sugar fix at the neighborhood store. Walking home. Now picture a grown man following you. And put a gun in his hand. You don't know why this is happening. You call for help but no one answers. Now the gun is aimed at you.
Only people like Trayvon Martin know what comes next.
I was stuck with the terror that came before. It broke my heart thinking about Trayvon Martin's last moments. Writing those words isn't easy. It makes me self-conscious. Who am I to feel this way? Heartbroken? Really? Yes, really.
I needed to do something to deal with my feelings, and it came to me that I would wear a hoodie every day. It's difficult to say why. Part statement, part reminder, part countdown to George Zimmerman's arrest, part trying to feel an infinitesimal bit of Trayvon Martin did – if only the sensation of being in his clothes. Not his shoes, I could never be in his shoes. But his clothes: the hoodie taking me back through the years, pulled up against the rain as I walk home down an empty block at night.
I decided to share the idea with people – something highly out of character for me, and "Wear Your Hoodie To Work Day" took shape. The idea was this:
On Monday, March 26th people would be asked to simply wear hoodies to work, no matter their profession. High school principal, movie star, CPA, police officer, soldier, shaman, doctor, hedge fund manager, executive, and on and on. Unemployed people, retired people, and kids as well just to be seen. The idea started as a protest, something to do if George Zimmerman wasn't arrested by Monday, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it's taken on another dimension.
Trayvon Martin was killed because he was Black. George Zimmerman is a racist. And somewhere in the mix of racism, along with ignorance, fear, cowardice, and – fuck it – let's just say "evil," is the racist's inability to see the "other" as a person. It's a blindness to the fact that others have lives and souls and faults and senses of humor and jobs and doubts and dreams and families and everything else the racist knows to be true about themselves and their loved ones.
The call to wear a hoodie "to work"boils down to, when you're out and about you see the same people every day. People you know, and who know you for the person you are – even if it's only at the most basic level. They know you're a person, and you know the same. When you wear your hoodie "to work," people around you will know someone's under there, which is something the George Zimmerman's of the world don't get.
You don't like the hippy dippy stuff? I have nothing to say to that. Here is the truth: Trayvon Martin's story continues to break my heart. For him in his last moments, for his family and friends, and for us. I see my friends' faces on Trayvon Martin and, now that we're adults, I see my friends' kids' faces on him. I don't know what to do with this sadness and frustration and I can't imagine that others don't feel the same. One thing I do know is that we have to start seeing each other and become conscious of the fact that under every hoodie there's a person.
And Zimmerman, person though he may be, should be indicted and punished as soon as possible – just the same as any other person who decides to kill an unarmed 17 year-old kid.
People like Geraldo Rivera are already starting to twist the knife of this tragedy by partially blaming the hoodie for what happened. They push right up to saying that Trayvon Martin made a stupid mistake wearing a hoodie out at night because it made him look like a criminal. There are so many things wrong with this, they're hardly worth mentioning but we'd do well to remember that, among other things, thirty years ago, sneakers without laces were "felon shoes." Now designer sneakers are made without laces and sold at Barney's.
In the end, there are lots of reasons to wear your hoodie to work on Monday, all of them symbolic. But symbols, as Geraldo in his own backhanded way, proved today, have meaning. Let's flip it.
Wear Your Hoodie To Work. Monday March 26th, 2012.

I was at a wedding recently where I watched (and kind of chuckled as) my friend, a bow-tie connoisseur and tie-er extraordinaire, tied the bow tie of a man he had never met. Why this man had gotten so far as the pre-ceremony cocktails with his tie dangling uselessly at at his neck I don't know, but it's lucky my friend, with this particular expertise of his, was nearby, and was able to come to the rescue.
It's probably because that memory was created so recently that this cute little guide from BHLDN caught my eye today. It'll show your groom—and his groomsmen, and both your dads, and, well, any male guest, really—how, exactly, to tie his own bow tie (which is, of course, much more respectable on his wedding day, as opposed to rocking some clip-on joint), complete with handily illustrated step-by-step instructions.
Just print it out and hand it on over!

Rihanna: Back At It in the Big Apple
Taking care of her to-do list, Rihanna was spotted strolling out in New York City earlier today (April 24).
The "Take a Bow" hitmaker looked cool and casual in a denim jacket with a white t-shirt and white trousers as she unsuccessfully tried to go unnoticed.
Last night, Rihanna treated herself to a delicious dinner at the popular Big Apple eatery Da Silvano with her gal pal Melissa Forde.
And it sounds like Ri-Ri will be spending most of her time across the pond this summer, as she'll be filming an English television show.
A pal told press, "Although there may be occasional trips away, she'll be based here in London. Rihanna has instructed her team to find a mansion in or around the capital."

LONDON – According to the survey, a net 21 percent of asset allocators are worried about the possible failure of "Abenomics," while a net 31 percent expect the Chinese economy to slow down.
"Everything that we are seeing for the survey is that positions have lowered for Japanese equities" after eight months of rising, said Manish Kabra, a European equities strategist at BoA Merrill Lynch Global Research.
The proportion of asset allocators overweighing Japanese equities fell to a net 17 percent from a net 31 percent in May, a seven-year high, and that of investors viewing Japan as the region they most want overweight dropped to a net 16 percent from 25 percent, the survey showed.
The Abenomics fear "interrupted the strong run in Japanese equities," the report said.
But Kabra pointed out that investors remain bullish on the Japanese economy in the long run.
"There is no hint that investors have capitulated on Japan," he said. "What we are seeing currently is more of a short-term market volatility."
A total of 248 fund managers participated in the survey conducted from June 3 to 7.

Karl Kronlage, St. Peter Killed God
I'm truly lucky to have the wonderful Karl Kronlage on my blog today. You might know him as the winner of Slushpile Reader's first publishing contract. Congratulations, Karl! And not only is he a talented author, he's a heck of a nice guy, and I'm excited to give you guys a glimpse into his world...
JLD: Welcome, Karl!
KK: Thanks for having me!
JLD: So Karl, What inspired you to write your book?
KK: The first short story I wrote in 1989 won an award. It was about a little kid who cried all the time. A couple of people told me how they really liked it but I thought I could do better. So I started writing about a pathetic child who got picked on by his brother and sister, his friends, and teacher and cried all the time only this time I felt it was much better than that story I wrote in college. Then I started thinking, hmmm, how what would this kid be like as an adult? I started molding Father Peter after I had written all this background and eventually I used the scenes I was writing as part of the sermons he preached. But it really all began by trying to write a novel about a child. That and poems about what it was like working in a psychiatric hospital. I sort of fused the two stories together and added a third element.
JLD: How long did it take you to write it?
KK: Well as you can imagine, having two stories and trying to create a third and making them all related was sort of like having a gig saw puzzle. Some elements didn't fit and had to be thrown out. Others created. Poetry turned into prose. That was 2000-2001 and I went part-time to complete it and I liked the way things turned out only no one else did. I tried to query agents and got no bites. So I hired a writing coach who published a novel and taught creative writing for masters of fiction degrees in California. He sent a twenty page email outlining everything that was wrong with it and suggested reading about 25 books. Some were about writing. Some were fiction related to my book in some way. I guess I'm a little slow and not naturally a very good writer. I had to learn it the hard way. I'm envious of those who do it so effortlessly. Any way, it finally clicked and I went part-time again in 2007-2008 doing several drafts. Shortly
thereafter, I put it on Authonomy and made the editors desk in less than a year. Then I put it on Slush Pile Reader. I year later they agreed to publish it and we did a little editing.
Sorry for rambling. But it's a hard question. It took ten years to finish it, but I didn't spend ten years writing it. I'd take years off before going back to it. I guess I'm a little slower than other writers and hopefully next time I decide to write a novel it won't take as long.
JLD: What message are you trying to convey?
KK: I believe that different readers will get something different out of it. First and for most, I want people to be entertained. If it's not entertaining, who cares what the message is – it's bad writing and no one would want to read it. Second, I try to undermine arguments and let the reading feel comfortable choosing to believe what they want. I mean I really try to present a need for religion, a problem with religion, and no easy fix to make religion modern. Some readers might find Father Peter simply insane. Others have told me they'd walk out of church with Father Peter. I'm not even that bold. If I attend a mass and the priest walked out of church, I'd feel embarrassed for the priest but I don't think I'd walk out of church in protest with him. Poor Father Peter was too deluded to realize that.
JLD: What is your intended audience?
KK: Readers. Anyone and everyone. I'd like people who are religious to read it as well as those who aren't. I love talking to atheists, Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike about their beliefs. I hope they would find the book interesting as well.
JLD: Who are you?
KK: I'm Karl Joseph Kronlage but I go by KJ Kron. No idea why. I thought that if I went by my name, friends I knew growing up might see my name and say, "Hey, Karl's book is out." On the other hand, most people who have read the book on Authonomy and Slush Pile Reader simply know me as KJ Kron. I was on those websites for a couple of years and more than 1,000 people read a bit of it.
JLD: Where did you grow up?
KK: In a suburb of Washington DC on the Virginia side. Catholic family. My parents had four children. Wow, I just can't imagine having four children. I have one and we'd like one more, but four? I don't know how people do it. I'm such a wimp; I know I can't do what my parents did.
JLD: What do you do now?
KK: I just finished my 15th year as an English teacher. Two of those years I went part-time twice to write Saint Peter Killed God. I used to think that having the summers off would give me enough free time to write novels, but it didn't pan out. I have tried a couple of things that have worked. My advice to writers: work overnight. There are plenty of jobs that need overnight workers. Half-way houses. Psych hospitals. Jails. Most of those places have downtimes where you can actually bring in a laptop and write. I know; I did it for four years. It's a great idea.
JLD: Any projects forthcoming?
KK: I wish I could retire. There are so many things I'd like to do. I'm trying to learn Spanish. I've been spending my summers in Spain for six years now and can only handle simple conversations. I need to study about an hour day. I'd like to get back into shape. I like to read. Oh, writing. Yes, yes, I'd love to write novels but there's only 24 hours in a day. Is there some pill I could take that would make sleeping unnecessary? With a full-time job and a fifteen month old, I just don't seem to be organized enough to write, other than keeping up with blogs.
JLD: Where can you get a copy of Saint Peter Killed God?
KK: You can get it at Amazon or Barnes and Noble as well as Smashwords. I don't know how other people are doing, but getting reviews and selling books is hard. Slush Pile Reader is offering gift certificates at Amazon.com that are worth $1,00. Stop by and enter the sweepstakes. We're still hoping it catches on. Night seems to be growing with experience and I hope everyone there continues to gain recognition.
JLD: You have been a very interesting, exciting guest to have here today. Thanks so much for joining me! And best of luck with your sales!
KK: Thanks, Jess!

2006: The Year When Intel Catches up to AMD?
Recently, I attended Intel's manufacturing conference in Oregon. There, an Intel vice president, Stephen Smith, talked about Intel's roadmap for next year. I came away convinced that, unless Intel stumbles on execution, it will finally catch up to smaller rival AMD in chip performance.
Sure, investors have long hoped that Intel would catch up to AMD – and have been bitterly disappointed. Over the past several years, the chipmaker canceled several products. Its server and desktop processors have fallen behind AMD's in key performance metrics. As the much smaller AMD began churning out higher-performing chips, Intel's share of PC and server processor market sunk from 82.1% to 80.8% in the past year, according to semiconductor consultancy Mercury Research.
But, finally, Intel might be close to taking AMD head on. In 2006, Intel will release several key processors that, Smith claims, will, by the second half of 2006, place Intel's products ahead or on par with AMD's chips. "[With these chips out], Intel is back in the ballgame," says Jim McGregor, an analyst with consultancy In-Stat.
Intel's rise won't be instantaneous. "Intel has stumbled, and it will take it a few years to gain its premium reputation it once had," says Peter Hofstra, an analyst at AIC funds. Industry insiders believe that AMD's momentum might continue through the first half of 2006. In fact, AMD hopes to nearly double its server chips market share and grow its desktop processors share in 2006, says Marty Seyer, senior vice president of commercial business and performance computing at AMD. "We are gaining lots of traction," he says.
But AMD could start feeling the heat from its larger rival come mid- to late-2006 as Intel rolls out chips that will be at least as good as AMD's in performance. Let's first look at server processors, where, today, AMD's "Opteron would smoke [Intel's latest server chips]," according to McGregor. When Intel introduces its chips code-named Sossaman and Woodcrest, in the first half and the second half of 2006, respectively, that "will get Intel back into the game, says McGregor.
To beef up its desktop chips, where Intel has fallen behind in performance and "has spent two years without innovation," according to McGregor, the company will right the ship with Conroe, due out in the second half of 2006. The new chip should be as good as AMD's, according to McGregor.
What's more, Intel's much-anticipated Yonah chip on a so-called Napa platform (it's due out in the first quarter), will be better than AMD's mobile offerings due out next year, believes McGregor. Today, notebook processors are the only area in which Intel leads AMD in performance.
Of course, the proof is in the pudding. AMD won't stand still, waiting for Intel to catch up. And Intel will need to keep to its products roadmap and to execute well to make 2006 the year when it finally responds to AMD's challenge.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger insists that Nicklas Bendtner has what it takes to be a "top-class player" for Arsenal.
The Danish striker made a significant contribution to the 1-0 victory over Roma in midweek, dropping left to accommodate Samir Nasri's central role and causing problems for the Giallorossi defence with his direct running. However, Bendtner was criticised after squandering two excellent chances to effectively kill off the tie.
Wenger would rather Bendtner had added to his season's tally of nine goals but, at his pre-match press conference on Friday, the Arsenal manager admitted that he would be more concerned if the Dane was not getting into the right positions to score.
"I feel he is doing well," said the Frenchman. "He is 20 years old, playing at the top level and creating chances. The problem at that level is if you don't create chances.
"He wants to work, he is becoming very professional. Before he was a little bit easy-going. He realises now what it takes to be a top-class player. He works very well and for me he has a bright future."
At 20, Bendtner has plenty of time to improve all aspects of his game, including his finishing. Even Thierry Henry lacked composure in front of goal when he arrived at Highbury at the age of 21 and Wenger expects Bendtner to be more clinical as he gains experience.
"I believe the most important thing when you miss a chance is to analyse why," said the Frenchman. "All the rest – just let people talk. OK you missed a chance, go home and try to see why you missed a chance. In Bendtner's case his first touch was not right on the night for various reasons.
"He was not on the toes when he got the ball – that is the sort of thing he needs to analyse. He has the timing and the nous to be there but afterwards it's a question of work.
"I have seen a lot of players who don't score when they're 20 but score when they're 23."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

No, the time in labor isn't extreme (still one or two days longer than I would think). It should be noted that even though they determined the repairs started today, they already have one full day in as the damaged parts are removed from the vehicle. The labor time isn't what gets me...the fact that they need to order parts from Europe is the thing I can't understand. How many BMWs are in the USA? No parts are stocked here? I am calling BS on the "new model, hard to get parts" thing since the car is essentially the same as a 2012. After 1.5 years on the NA market, surely there have been many collisions/damages and enough time to arrange logistics to stock the parts domestically...
Also, to clarify, I did not take the car back to the dealer. I took it to their collision center (same dealer, different location). This BMW Certified collision center repairs all brands sold by the dealer family. Good dealer, but not impressed with the body shop. Unknown to me, they don't offer loaner cars either. Only for service, not for body repairs. Interesting to me, since every other body shop I know offers loaners...

The Beretta 96GT has Trijicon night sights (T- was added for the Trijicon night sights).
I recently purchased a Beretta 96G from Cabella's. It is a LEO turn in. I looked up the serial number on the Beretta site and it is listed as a 96 GT PS that was issued to the Florida Highway Patrol. I know what the G stands for and I found on another Forum (and should have guessed this) that the PS is for Police Special. Anyone know what if any is the difference in a 96 G and a 96 GT ? By the way I love th gun, I have a 92Fs that was a DOJ turn in, a great weapon also.
The Beretta 96GT has Trijicon night sights (T- was added for the Trijicon night sights).
Thanks CougarTex, I just received an EMail from a friend that said the same thing. Should have figured that one out for myself also.
In Italy or somewhere along the way to my hands it had Trijicon night sights installed.
The gun salesman said it was done at the factory. ? ? ?
The rear sight is dovetailed, and has two lines white painted on its right side.
"Trijicon" on first line. The second line has the chemical symbol for the tritium gas "TH3", then a "comma", and a "92".
The front sight is pinned. No dovetail. Below the sight, on the "cut" right at the front of the slide are the same two white painted lines. Each less than 1/16" tall.
The white paint must be pretty tough. It's still all there after 18 years and thousands of rounds.
Trijicon only warrants the green sights for 12 years. Mine are still glowing.
Too much info, eh ?
My 96 GT PS was Mfg in 1998, same sights and markings, still glowing.

British luxury brand Burberry allayed fears of a sales slowdown in China after announcing forecast-beating results today.
The fashion group revealed a 9% jump in sales to £1.116 billion in the six months to April, well ahead of analysts' estimates.
It said demand from Chinese shoppers for its high-end products such as leather bags and coats helped it report a "strong finish to the year".
Retail sales, a growing part of its business and now 75% of the entire group, was up 7% on a comparable basis to £840 million.
Its shares gained 58p to 1324p on news of the healthier results.
Angela Ahrendts, chief executive, said the brand had a particularly strong "Christmas and Chinese New Year" but she expects "the external global environment to remain challenging".
Finance boss Stacey Cartwright, who will leave the leave in July to be succeeded by Carol Fairweather, said Burberry now has "strong brand momentum" and said a sales surge of expensive leather handbags such as its Blaze and Orchard handbags confirmed this.
The sales results will be a relief to those concerned about growth potential for the global luxury sector. Concerns were raised on Monday when luxury goods giant LVMH revealed its weakest quarterly growth rate since 2009.
Burberry's move to retail and its reduction of wholesale, particularly in Europe, generated a 3% dip in sales for the period to £220 million.
Cartwright said: "Wholesale has been affected by rationalisation of our accounts in Europe due to credit issues or the positioning of the account not being right."
Footfall across stores in all regions has been weaker as "aspirational consumer reigned in spending", Cartwright said.
But the brand will continue to open stores and has three planned in Shanghai. Burberry said it is "thrilled with the success" of its Regent Street store that opened last year.
Cartwright added: "We have Kaiser Chiefs playing there next week. It is about bringing the Burberry brand to London."
Burberry is focused on growing its beauty arm after it took the licence to its perfume business in house.
The group will reveal its preliminary results in May.

There were many adventures on the drive back from Grove to Tulsa, including a stop for a snowball fight, led by Nanook of the North, Canadian Dave Mercer. He actually likes this weather. But Steve Bowman guided Mercer, Jim Sexton and me safely to our hotel, finally.
On the way back, Classic competitor Jason Quinn passed us at one point with his boat in tow. It was 9:30, and Quinn had concluded a very short practice day on Grand Lake.
"I'm from South Carolina," said Quinn. "I ain't used to this stuff."
The question now remains: How many more of the 53 Classic competitors have fled Grand Lake?
Surely, Russ Lane is long gone. He had to drag himself out there for the 7 a.m. takeoff.
"I've got pneumonia, and I had a reaction to the medicine they gave me," said Lane, as he readied his tackle. "I'm 40 years old. I don't know how many of these I'll get to fish. They'll have to carry me out of here."
Even before it started snowing, Lane knew his day would be short.
"I've got a few things I want to check out," he said. "Then I'm going to get off the water. I think I've got a pretty good plan (for the tournament)."

Thanks to the efforts of the Northwestern Spanish Club and the Department of English, Foreign Language and Humanities faculty, along with many friends and supporters, students seeking an undergraduate major or minor in Spanish at Northwestern Oklahoma State University can now receive scholarship assistance. Recently established, the Dorothy Day Spanish Scholarship was named for Dr. Dorothy Day, retired professor and founder of the Spanish program.
Day began her career at Northwestern in 1988. She was initially hired to teach foreign language and English, but she began the formalized Spanish program in the fall of 2001. Although most of the current students and Spanish Club members may have never personally met Day, her legacy provided the groundwork for the distinguished Spanish program that exists at Northwestern today.
"I can tell you that I am delighted that two students will be receiving help on their tuition this coming fall," Day said. "Since I have been retired since 2003, I am assuming that many who worked on that project do not even know me. Please convey my utmost gratitude to everyone who played a part in this significant milestone."
During her career at Northwestern, Day received the John Barton Distinguished Teaching and Service award for her excellence in teaching in 2003. Upon her retirement, Day moved to McAllen, Texas, where she currently resides. She enjoys keeping up with activities on campus through the Northwestern News and visits Northwestern as often as she can.
The Northwestern Spanish Club, under the advisement of Spanish professors Dr. Francisco Martinez and Dr. Claudia Young, has hosted cultural events on campus, such as the Day of the Dead and Cinco de Mayo celebrations, taco dinners and salsa-dancing lessons to raise funds and awareness for the Dorothy Day Spanish Scholarship. Martinez, who has played an integral role in endowing this scholarship, is pleased to see the fruits of his and others' labor come to fruition.
"At first the scholarship seemed a long way off, but now it's a reality," Martinez said. "It took us some time to get to where we are, but we were always thinking of ways to help our students with funding because they deserve it. Our students are what make us proud as educators. We look forward to meeting our first scholarship recipients."
Full-time continuing Spanish students with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average are eligible for the Dorothy Day Spanish Scholarship. Applicants must be either a Spanish major or minor who has completed three semesters of Spanish coursework. The scholarship may be applied toward university-related expenses, such as tuition, fees, room, board or books.
For more information about investing in Northwestern students, call Skeeter Bird, Northwestern Foundation CEO, at 580-327-8599 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group is committed to providing each client the highest level of professional legal service.
Schedule A FREE, Confidential Legal Consultation
We promise to protect your privacy.
New Jersey child support orders can and often do consider the educational needs of a child. This can include primary and secondary school tuition at a private or religious school, as well as college expenses and other post-secondary school costs. The educational expenses of raising a child can vary widely depending on the situation of the family. New Jersey child support orders are designed to take these expenses into account, which is why you want to be specific about how much money goes into each child's schooling and expenses each year. After your divorce, costs related to primary and secondary school tuition at a private or religious school, and even college expenses, can be handled through an NJ child support order.
The NJ family court system has some leeway in determining whether public or private school expenses will be covered by a child support order. As with other decisions, this one is based on the best interests of the child, and includes such factors as the quality of public schools in the area, the ability of parents to pay, and the educational history of the child to-date. An experienced New Jersey divorce attorney can help elucidate some of these issues in court and ensure protection of you and your family's interests.
Once the child graduates from high school, the calculation for educational expenses becomes a bit more complicated. In a past case (Newburgh v. Arrigo, 88 N.J. 529, 1982), the New Jersey Supreme Court defined specific factors to be considered when ordering child support for children attending college or other post-secondary education. These factors include:
A new law, effective February 1, 2017 establishes conclusively that even for children enrolled full-time in higher education, child support orders do not apply beyond a child's 23rd birthday. For more information on this law, see: New Jersey Emancipation of Children.
If you and your spouse are in agreement about educational expenses, our New Jersey child support lawyers can draft the support documents to include these expenses. If you do not agree, the case may need to be brought to a New Jersey family court judge for a decision. Here is where experienced representation can help you secure the proper order for your child, and for your continued financial solvency.
The New Jersey divorce attorneys at Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group will help you gather the necessary documentation to support your position regarding educational costs and expenses, private school tuition, and post-secondary school expenses.

[Did You Know] Ultimate List of Windows 8 Bugs and Goof-ups
When Windows Vista was under development and I was using testing builds of Vista, I found many bugs in the OS. I reported them to Microsoft and many of them were fixed in the next OS i.e. Windows 7.
[Did You Know] Ultimate List of Windows Vista Facts, Bugs and Goof-ups
When Microsoft started working on Windows 7, again I found some new bugs in Windows 7:
[Did You Know] Ultimate List of Windows 7 Bugs and Goof-ups
And now when Windows 8 has been released, there are very few bugs in the OS. In fact I have not found any new bug in Windows 8 but there are a few bugs which were present in Windows 7 and have not been fixed in Windows 8.
Today in this article, I'm going to list a few bugs which were present in previous Windows versions such as Windows 7, etc and are still present in the latest Windows 8 OS.
1. Windows 8 Explorer Titlebar Bug
That's a new bug found in Windows 8. This bug appears when you right-click on titlebar in a window and select an item such as restore, maximize, move, size, etc from the context menu. You select the item but the titlebar context menu remains on screen.
Check out following video to better understand the bug and to know the steps to recreate the bug:
Thanks to our reader "NZero" for sharing it...
2. Taskbar Context Menu Bug
This bug was first found in Windows 8 but after some time we noticed that its also present in Windows 7. This bug causes the Taskbar context menu to appear behind the Taskbar.
You can visit following topic to read the steps to recreate the bug:
Windows 7 and Windows 8 Taskbar Context Menu Bug
Another similar bug:

3. Windows 8 Taskbar Bug
A funny bug which causes Windows 8 to show Windows XP style old balloon popups in Taskbar.
Windows 8 UI Bug Causes Windows XP Style Classic Balloon Notifications in Taskbar
4. Task Manager Maximize Option Bug
This bug was present in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and can also be recreated in Windows 8. This bug can maximize anything which is showing in Task Manager whether its a window or a dialog box. Generally you can't maximize a dialog box because it provides only close button but this bug can maximize dialog boxes which makes the dialog box looking strange on screen as shown in following screenshot:
You just need to open a dialog box such as Taskbar Properties, Run dialog box, etc and then open Task Manager, right-click on the dialog box entry and select Maximize option.
Check out following article for full details about this bug:
[Fun Tip] Maximize Windows or Dialog Box When Maximize Button is Disabled
You can also watch this bug live in action in following exclusive video:
5. Notepad Statusbar Bug
This is the oldest bug in the history of Windows. Its present in almost all versions of Notepad whether its Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 Notepad. This bug causes Notepad to show incorrect row and column numbers in Statusbar.
Check out following topic for more details and instructions:
Notepad Statusbar Bug Found in All Windows Versions
6. Windows 8 Start Screen Bug
I'm glad to see that this bug which was found in Windows 8 Release Preview build has been fixed in RTM (final version) of Windows 8. Check out following topic for more details about this bug:
Windows 8 Start Screen Search Page Bug
7. Aero Glass Transparency Bug
As we know that Microsoft has removed Aero glass transparency from Windows 8 and people are trying their best to find a way to enable the transparency again. There is a bug in Windows 8 which allows you to enable a broken Aero glass transparency in Windows 8. Since its a bug, it doesn't work properly.
Check out following topic for more details:
Is There Any Way to Enable Aero Glass Transparency in Windows 8?
That's all for now guys. If you have also found any bug or easter egg in Windows 8, feel free to share it in your comment...

"Common sense solutions to
your complex safety needs"
& Updates
Home |
Tools & Information
OSHA Resources
Emergency Planning
Contact Us
Establishing &
Reaching Health & Safety Related Goals
Let's start with a question – Last year one of our
clients had ten recordable injuries. Did they do a
good job or a poor job?
Obviously, that question depends on three factors:
How many
employees worked for the company;
How many hours
were worked by those employees; and
What industry
was the employer in
For instance, if
our client employed five people who worked 40 hours
per week, then ten injuries would be a very bad
record. However if the client employed 1,000 people
who worked an average of 40 hours per week, ten
injuries would not be so bad.
Furthermore, the
ten injuries may be considered high in a low hazard
industry such as a call center. Those same ten
injuries may be considered very low in a high hazard
industry such as construction.
Why is this important?
Because your record
is dependant on these factors and each company
employees a different number of employees, we rarely
speak in terms of how many injuries we had. In fact
OSHA doesn't typically ask "How many injuries did
you have"? Instead, they ask "What is your Injury &
Illness Incident Rate" or "What is your DART rate"?
What are
Incidence Rates?
The incidence rate is
a trending number based on your Injury & Illness
rates if you had worked 200,000 hours. Why does OSHA
use the 200,000 hour benchmark? Quite simply,
200,000 hours are the hours worked by 100 employees,
averaging 40 hours per week over a 50 week span (two
weeks taken away for holidays).
If the total hours
your employees worked is less than 200,000 or more
than 200,000 it doesn't matter, we use this number
to establish a trending benchmark.
What is a DART
The DART rate stands
for "Days Away, Restrictions and Transfers". This
number is also based on trending over 200,000 hours
but its not based on total injuries. Its based only
on those injuries and illnesses severe enough to
warrant "Days Away, Restrictions and Transfers".
As a general rule of
thumb, you want to have a lower DART rate than
Incidence rate.
How can I
figure my Incidence and DART Rates?
We have developed an
"Incidence Rate Calculator" that easily figures both
your Incidence rate and your DART rate (see example
CLICK HERE to
download the Incidence Rate Calculator
Once you figure your
rates, you now have an easy way to benchmark your
efforts from year to year.
we mentioned the role your industry plays in your
rates. The more dangerous your industry, the higher
your rates are likely to be.
Wouldn't it be nice
to benchmark your organization's rates to other
similar organizations in your industry? You can do
just that and we discuss that on the
Next Page.

By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Alexandre Cammas hopes that the 2,000 New Yorkers who will attend his two-day culinary festival will find that French food is fun and edgy.
Le Fooding D'Amour Paris-New York arrives in New York just as the recession has forced some of the city's venerable, high-end French restaurants, including the 92-year-old Cafe des Artistes, to close its doors.
Cammas believes their demise reflects the global trend toward more casual dining, even in France -- arguably the birthplace of serious high end cuisine.
"It's a representation of what's happening now," the 38-year-old food writer who co-founded Le Fooding, a loose combination of the words food and feeling, explained.
"The financial crisis accelerated the trend that began almost 10 years," he added.
In France, Le Fooding events are sprawling, urban picnics where people can sit on the ground and drink from paper cups, instead of at tables with starched linens and crystal glasses.
The U.S. debut of Le Fooding , which will raise funds to fight global hunger, takes place on Friday and Saturday at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in the borough of Queens, across the East River from Manhattan.
The $60 tickets, which were sold on the web by leading consumers to one website to get a password to buy tickets on another site, are as much as six times cheaper than the glitzier food festivals. Continued...
