Part of me thinks they might still be in the sport if it was BMW Williams F1. That technical partnership could've carried over into LeMans, and possibly DTM. They really need manufacturer backing, dictator oil money can only go so far. 10 agree 2 disagree

FreePint Subscribers now have access to some of our most popular reports of the year – our annual review of Factiva.com, and our annual comparison of news products reviewed in the past 12 months. Also coming before the end of the year: our fifth annual survey on news needs and preferences (as soon as the Director of Research can complete the analysis...)
I've been preoccupied with the publication of these important reports, so I missed taking a good look at some of our recent articles. Don't make the same mistake I did. There's some good stuff to investigate on Islamic finance, the importance of digital signatures on your communications, and the legal wrangling of HP and Autonomy, to name only a few.

As we've made these changes, we're now able to take advantage of new partnership opportunities. I'm very pleased to announce that our reports – product reviews, original research and topic reports – are now available for individual purchase through our partner, Research & Markets. Reports will appear on Research & Markets around 30 days after their original publication on FreePint.
We're also working on other distribution and sales partnerships, so watch for more announcements in early 2013.
Winding Up the Year
I'm already getting more "out of office" responses to email and "gone until January" messages on voice mail. However you celebrate the end of one year and beginning of the next, I hope it involves some relaxation, and then coming back in January ready for another exciting year.
FreePint will be taking a brief break from publishing our newsletters until January. We're using this period to make some adjustments in response to reader feedback to improve the newsletters.

How Do August Waiver Trades Work?
Yesterday the trade deadline passed in a pretty uneventful fashion. To sum it all up, Bud Norris was the biggest name who was traded. That's all you need to really know about the quality of the market on deadline day. But the big misconception with the trade deadline is that people think it's the last chance to make a deal. In fact, teams can make deals beyond the deadline, as we saw last night with the addition of Robert Andino after the deadline had passed.
The big advantage to making deals prior to the July 31st deadline is that there are no restrictions on deals that can be made. Teams can trade with any other team, and for that reason, teams can try to maximize the value of the return for their players on the market by selling to the top bidder. That luxury is removed after the J...

Security Researchers Discover Fake Antivirus 'Wireshark'
A new piece of scareware known as 'Wireshark Antivirus' has been identified by security researchers at "Avira." The scareware seems to be a true security solution. The analysis of fake antivirus application has uncovered its attributes.
The security firm reports Wireshack antivirus is very stealthy if penetrates into systems owing to the Trojan exploiting tactics. After trespassing on the user's computer, this antivirus firstly creates few files and registry values which strongly influence the functionality of the system. Thus, Wireshark antivirus configures with the user's system's OS to run malware related process when user launches Windows.
Further, the experts added that this fake application would start popping up its annoying warnings and false scanning. They noted that the fake antivirus failed to detect the genuine viruses considering it was not fit to detect. The only work this antivirus actually does is making the user believe that his PC is in severe cyber risk and requires cleaning.
The fake antivirus will not fail to suggest the user to get things back to normal by using its full version which is not free. The experts added that this malware was another money sucking machine which cheated people to loose their hard earned money. Therefore, they encourage users not to buy Wireshark antivirus if their computers are infected by this malware.
As per the security experts, the best solution to perform would be to permanently and completely remove Wireshark antivirus as soon as it has been detected on a computer system by making use of legitimate antivirus software solution.
With the detection of 'Wireshark Antivirus', the scareware scam seems to be booming, said the security experts. They note that the sale of scareware has turned into an outrageously lucrative criminal business. Panda Security's estimation gives the best justification wherein it says the scareware generates revenue of around $34 Million per month for the cottage industry of elite gangs and enterprising specialists.

Hey all!!!
So I was thinking about getting one of those keratin treatments I keep hearing about. I know some people who have gotten them and they have kept their curl but mentioned it helps take away some of the frizz and issues with taking care of their hair. However, I have hears some pretty interesting things regarding the treatment. Some people have told me that the Keratin treatment permanently altered their curl pattern as in the hair that grows out of their head grows out differently than it did before the treatment! Is this true!? I love my curls and would hate to lose them for good because of the treatment. Someone please help!
By the way, I have type 3C hair.

'Dogs Remain Undefeated in MW Play
Oct. 6, 2012
By Stephanie Juncker
By Stephanie Juncker
LARAMIE, Wyo. ---The Fresno State soccer team secured its first Mountain West road victory today with a 2-0 victory over Wyoming in Laramie. Junior Morgan Castain recorded both goals for the 'Dogs for her fourth and fifth goals on the season.
The Bulldogs took the lead in the 36th minute, when Kayla Kret and Callie Hancock found Castain open 30 yards out from the goal who then lofted the ball into the upper left corner and past the goalkeeper for what would be the game winner.
After halftime, Castain put the 'Dogs up 2-0 after getting a rebound off the keeper and putting the ball in the upper left corner for her fifth goal of the season. Wyoming recorded 10 more shots than Fresno State, but sophomore goalkeeper Katie
DeVault made nine crucial saves and recorded her second shutout of the year and the teams' third.
Fresno State is now 2-0 in Mountain West play. The Bulldogs will return to Mountain West action next weekend in Bulldog Stadium as they will face New Mexico on Friday and San Diego State on Sunday.

Legends in their own lunchtimes
Rhode Street School's Food RevolutionDENISE IRVINE
Relevant offers
This is a story to warm your heart, and your tummy as well. Specially if you like the sound of manuka-smoked pulled pork ragu with Sicilian tomato sauce and pasta, and a chunky piece of Maori rewana bread to mop up the juices.
This was lunch last Friday week at Hamilton's Rhode Street School, where a team of 20 pupils aged 7 to 13, all kitted out in black caps and aprons, cook damn fine kai for 220 kids, staff and about 50 parents as part of British chef and healthy food campaigner Jamie Oliver's third Food Revolution Day. The day aims to get children excited about food and cooking.
Dallas Toms is one of the mums at the Rhode Street lunch; she watches her son Makaire tuck into a plate of pork and pasta, comments that typically all he wants for lunch is peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Today he's eating something much more complex, and enjoying it. Jamie Oliver would be delighted.
Rhode Street's junior chefs are pros. They've been well trained at their on-site Kai Time Cafe kitchen. Ahead of the lunch, they painstakingly pulled tender hangi-cooked pork (50kg of it) off the bone (this takes ages), they stripped bundles of watercress for garnish, mixed, baked and chopped the bread, offered a little bit of taste-testing for visitors. "The bread is cool, try some."
They made the vege-laden Sicilian tomato sauce (60 litres), now resting in a giant container; it has been infused with Maori herbs kawakawa and peppery horopito that have been dried in a dehydrator, then ground in a mortar and pestle. The sauce also contains traditional oregano and thyme, the kids have stripped and chopped these leaves as well.
The tomatoes were grown in the school's gardens, harvested, pulped and were frozen for such an occasion as this. The herbs, onions and garlic were grown at Rhode Street, too. They've only had to buy carrots. This is said almost as an apology, like somehow they've let the side down by buying carrots.
The kids wash their hands often as they work, observing a strict hygiene regime, and they keep the stainless steel benches spotless. "They never leave a mess," says kitchen tutor Melissa Pattison.
They laugh a lot, and talk about what they cook at home. Denise Walker, 12, is doing the watercress with Libby Conner and Leah Mark. Denise rattles through some of the stuff she knows how to make. "All kinds of things: chicken, mince stew, macaroni cheese, bacon and eggs, lasagne." Some things she's learned from mum, some from school. Marama Katipa, 11, is sweeping the floor. She cooks dinners, too: "Steak and some salad."
Oliver Ngatai and Joshua Walker, both seven, are on breadmaking duty, conjuring the loaves to feed the multitudes. They've done traditional rewana bread topped with rosemary, black olives and rock salt, in keeping with the Maori Meets Mediterranean fusion theme of this lunch.
Oliver and Joshua's bread is warm from the oven, it smells divine, they use protective gloves to ferry it to the bench for cooling and cutting.
They can tell the bread is cooked by the smell of it, and it sounds hollow when they tap it. "We cook it for an hour at 180 degrees," says Oliver. "Then we eat it."
A photograph of the two lads, armed with bread and gloves, is posted on the Food Revolution Day Facebook page and it earns an accolade from Jamie Oliver's team. They love it.
Food Revolution Day is a joint venture by the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation in the UK and US, and The Good Foundation in Australia, and activities were held in about 120 countries worldwide on May 16. Oliver wants to raise the profile of food education as the key to transforming people's lives by making healthy eating choices.
His premise is that culinary skills were previously passed down from generation to generation, but now millions of people lack even the most basic knowledge to make a simple meal from scratch. He wants to change that.
There were 800 Food Revolution participants in New Zealand and Rhode Street's lunchtime feast was the biggest event. The small decile three school, embracing 14 nationalities, 78 per cent Maori, is the mouse that roared. The happiness, harmony, and sense of purpose on this sunny day is infectious.
The grown-ups behind the lunch (aside from Jamie Oliver) are Rhode Street principal Shane Ngatai, and Food Revolution ambassador chef Jimmy Boswell, who lives at Matangi. Ngatai has worked as a chef, he spent about 10 years in hospitality, and back in the day he owned former Hamilton eatery El Dorados, in Alma Street, among other restaurants. He gave up hospo in 1996 and returned to his earlier calling of teaching.
Rhode Street is part of the Enviroschools network, which supports young people to work in the area of sustainability, and Ngatai has developed a school-wide strategy where kids learn to grow, harvest, store and cook.
He's proud of what has been achieved over nearly eight years, with the support of the school's board, staff and community. Each pupil has about two sessions in the kitchen per term. They cook lunches each day, which are sold to pupils for $5, and they prepare afternoon tea for Rhode Street's after-school care programme, which caters for five schools.
"These are hands-on, real-life skills," Ngatai says, pointing out that gardening and cooking embrace wider curriculum objectives such as physical activity, reading recipes, calculating, measuring, problem-solving, building relationships, resilience, learning about how things grow.
The work culminates in the school's annual fundraising Kai Festival, held in March, where the kids cook and then sell their food to their community. This year, the seventh festival, the festival had a turnover of about $40,000, a net profit of $22,000, and an incalculable result in terms of what the pupils learned from running the show.
Today's Food Revolution extravaganza is an extra layer on the culinary output, the result of a meeting between chef Boswell and Ngatai. Boswell had heard about what Ngatai is doing at Rhode Street as an Enviroschool, and he approached him about creating a Food Revolution event.
Boswell is a cookbook author, food stylist and food writer, one of nine Food Revolution ambassadors in New Zealand. He's also the brand ambassador for San Remo pasta, and San Remo donated 100kg of pasta to the school for this event. The team only used 15-20kg, so there will be plenty of Italian dishes this winter at Rhode Street. Pokeno Bacon's also sold them six pork shoulders at cost, and Boswell and Ngatai ask if this could be mentioned, because he and the school are grateful for such support.
Boswell is half Kiwi, half Sicilian ("made in Sicily, born in New Zealand), and he's the one who came up with the Maori Meets Mediterranean theme, a nod at his culinary heritage and the values of extended family that Maori and Sicilians share.
The kids are doing 99 per cent of the work for the lunch, and Boswell is the quiet, unflappable coach, impressed with the skills and work ethic he's seeing. He checks the sauce, lifts heavy containers, does quality control, praises the young cooks. He instructs Rangimarie Taylor, 13, and Akaki Harry, 12, in the art of cutting the rewana bread. Akaki wields the knife, Rangimarie counts out 300 pieces, arranging them neatly on platters.
In a lull before lunch, Ngatai asks pupils Toko Waitere, and Te Arahau Reihana, both 11, to take me for a tour of the gardens. First to the hydroponics ("this used to be the swimming pool, but it cracked"). The pool has been brilliantly reinvented with a canopy for hydroponics, and enviro teacher and school caretaker Alastair Kerr is working with a group amid chilli plants, tomatoes, capsicums and basil. Then we examine the worm farm, compost and "a pile of clippings that Mr Kerr put there". On to the school's latest vision, an Ecological Island designed for science projects, a work-in-progress, followed by some discussion of how Toko can cook pretty much anything, "cakes, pizzas, and I've cooked some fancy stuff like tortilla stacks".
At the kitchen garden, the boys proudly show off the wood-fired pizza oven. Toko says they used to have chickens here. "Now they're mostly in our stomachs." We nip into the organic orchard, admire the laden persimmon tree, among others.
It's close to 1pm, time to feed nearly 300 kids and parents. Boswell and Ngatai do the heavy stuff, meld the bowls of pulled pork into the tomato sauce, and carry cauldrons and platters across to serve at the Kai Time Cafe, which has covered outdoor seating.
The queue is relentless, snaking around the school buildings, everyone politely waiting. "I'm loving the good role model behaviour," says a teacher.
There's a seamless chain gang of kids and adults ladling pasta, tomato sauce and pork into recycled plastic bowls, garnishing with watercress, placing bread on the side. Lots of pupils are soon sitting at tables with full plates in front of them. No one can start till prayers are said, no matter how tempting.
So there is a moment to offer thanks for the food, then spoons hit the plates.
The kids are beaming, they mop up the sauce with their bread. It's worked. Ask them what they think, they chorus, "It's yum."
The lunch has the ingredients of fun and good food that Jamie Oliver intended. Oliver is planning a visit to New Zealand in October; Ngatai would love to get him to visit, meet the kids and see firsthand what they're doing.
The grown-ups are the last to eat. I sit down with Boswell and Ngatai, dig my spoon into the tender, tangy pork and sauce I've been eyeing all morning. And quietly salute the warm-hearted young food heroes of Rhode Street School.

In terms of overall performance the WB500 acquits itself well. It starts up in approximately two and a half seconds, and in single shot mode it can take a picture every 1.9 seconds, which is pretty quick. There are two full resolution continuous shooting options, offering either 0.8fps or 1.7fps, which is also quite impressive. Samsung's new DRIM image processing engine seems to have some serious grunt, which bodes well for the other models in the range.
The WB500 has a very good video mode, shooting in 1280 x 720 resolution at 30fps, recording in the popular MPEG4 H.264 format. The zoom lens can be used while recording, but it does produce a loud whir which is audible on the mono soundtrack. Picture quality is good though, even when shooting in low light.
The autofocus system is particularly good, and especially its low light performance. The AF assist lamp isn't that bright, but nonetheless the cameras will reliably focus in total darkness at a range of around four meters. The flash range lives up to its claimed 4.7m maximum range, and recharges fairly quickly in about six seconds from a full-power flash. However thanks to the position of the flashgun relative to the handgrip and shutter button it is all too easy to get your fingers in front of the flash, resulting in some odd shadows.
The make-or-break of a camera is of course image quality, something which has proven to be a weak spot for some previous Samsung cameras. There's certainly nothing wrong with the lens, which produces virtually no wide-angle distortion and excellent edge-to-edge sharpness, although it does suffer from a little chromatic aberration in the corners of the frame. The new processing engine seems to have taken care of most other possible problems, and the overall image quality is very good. Dynamic range is somewhat limited, as is usually the case with small-sensor 10MP cameras. The Auto Contrast Balance does help to preserve shadow detail, although there is a tendency to burn out highlights and some very bright saturated colours lack detail. Noise control is very good, with little visible noise at 400 ISO and decent image quality even at 800, although at 1600 and 3200 ISO there is a lot of noise.
The new Samsung WB500 is an extremely impressive camera for the price. It looks good, has superb build quality, a huge list of features, and its performance measures up to cameras costing £100 more. It does have one or two foibles, but when it comes down to value for money it's hard to beat.
This looks absolutely perfect for me, was really wanting the TZ7 but with so much other stuff i want at the moment finding it hard to justify the outlay. Awesome!
WOW! its about time i saw a review on this camera! I was hoping for a video review as well. ???
Great value for the money.
Mmmmm I was hoping for a video sample too at 720p hehehe.
I've owned one of these since march of this year, quite surprised that there weren't any reviews out before i bought it, but i liked it in the shop, so went for it. The full manual mode is good, but the limited manual controls are frustrating with extended use, as they are difficult to access.
When compared to my dad's TZ5 and TZ7 the pictures that it produces are appreciably less vibrant and sharp in full auto mode.
Not saying that i wouldn't recommend it, but if you can handle the (IMO) ugly UI and the price of the TZ series, go with one of them.
Thanks for that JellyUK. I'm been comparing looking into a pocketable camera / camcorder primarily to record videos but also take photos.
Originally I was leaning toward the Kodak Zi8 which is very much camcorder with a camera bit thrown in, then I flirted thinking about the more expensive TZ7.... finally my attention turned to the WB500 after this glowing TR reveiw.... your comment has pushed me back to the TZ7. It's more expensive but better to spend a bit more and get exactly what I want. A device that records excellent HD videos and can take very good quality photos too.
Do note that when comparing the WB500 to the TZ series cameras that the TZ cameras give you NO control over aperture and shutter speed. They are program auto and scene modes only. Mind you, The TZ cameras to come up with excellent results.
@PeterB666 and Tristian
Yeah, the TZ series have no manual mode, but in my opinion, the manual mode for the WB500 isn't really worth the hassle of using. If you want to spend time getting the shot right, then maybe it will work for you, but in the case i would go with a less compact camera, as quick shots obviously aren't as much of a priority.
At the end of the day, i always just leave it in full auto mode, and the difference between the WB500 and the TZ7 in that regard is pretty big.
Whoa......I have a TZ5 and WB550. The TZ is not way better at all. There is a marginal difference but my TZ is worse in low light and loses focus to easily when zooming. I prefer the WB550 also because it gives me a bit more settings to play with, admittedly, not a lot but enough to make me carry it around in preference to the TZ. Also there is HD video as well which has a very useful pause button so that you don't have to stop the movie clip if there is an "inbetween bit" that you don't want, you can pause the clip until ready. Also the video duration is 29+ minutes whereas the TZ is only 8-11 here in the UK. The H264 video is easily edited as well. Batteries for the WB550 are not proprietary as in the case of the TZ7 as well (£50 for one!!)so any make will fit which adds to the ability to carry two or three when out for the day.
I bought this camera last week for a £146 on sale - I open it and was initial staggered at the operating interface which is cluttered and not well thought out. I had to configure the camera because it had the factory default settings in situ and this took me 10 minutes - whereas with an intuitive interface it should have been 1 min or so.
I proceded to take some photos in auto mode - and I was gobsmacked - the quality - the exposure control - the clarity - the sharpness absolutely touch notch. I then started to play around with the various settings including manual configuartions and yes trying to get the right control was fiddly - but it was achievable. The zoom capabability was very nice to have and the optical is excellent - the digital really does required a tripod and using the timer delay for the shutter release.
Overall - I am well pleased to have bought this camera and the wife now has the EZ-1080. The only real issue I have now is trying to get a hard camera case for it.
At the weekend a friend sought me out as he had just purchased a TZ7 for £270 and said he was having problems and he asked me to look at the setting - yes the interface is more intuitive but the level of control over the photographs did not seem as advance as the WB500. I gave him a 30 minute lesson in what the settings were and basically said always shoot in auto mode or use the standard scene mode setting - dont try and be creative. The zoom was accurate and responsive and the picture quality seemed the same for both cameras.
The point is from a holiday snap type environment it too close to call between the WB500 and the TZ7 in full auto mode, both give excellent high definition photos with perfect exposure and lighting - but when the photographer wants to be more creative the WB500 has the lead albeit through a much harder interface, but that will become easier as you get familiar with it.
So overall Im well please having bought this camera.
Been using the WB500 for a few months now for everyday use and it does feel nice to hold and has some good features. The USB interface does feel somewhat feeble and I cant see it lasting long with constant charging downloading etc. The pictures do suffer from a LOT of chromatic aberration even at the wide angle end which I find very anoying. On a positive note low light capability is very impresive. I read mixed reviews before I bought it but got a bargain price, however its back to my pentax optio S10 from now on!
I miss the detail and expertise Cliff used to pour into his reviews!

JEFF KNAPP: Fall trout fishing an exceptional experience
The leaves aren't the only thing that change colors in fall. Native brook trout, as their fall spawning time nears, take on a brilliance that matches that of any leafy transition.
I was reminded of this a couple weeks ago when — along with Dave Keith — I took a break from river smallmouth bass guiding to explore a nearby brookie stream.
It had been a while since I'd fished for brookies. Though the early portion of the summer had featured lots of rain — which translates into lots of water and good trout fishing — the past month had been dry. The streams were low and clear, typical of late summer and early fall, and those are conditions that make for tough fishing.
During the day prior to our outing things changed. We had an all-day rain, the kind that soaks into the ground, rather than just running right off. I'd hoped that the precipitation would not only give the streams a boost, but help keep them at a nice level for some time.
When we arrived at the stream we were happy to see a nice flow. It doesn't pay to advertise the location of native brook trout streams, so I parked my truck as far off the road as possible. After donning boots and grabbing our gear, we hiked about a mile-and-a-half up the stream, to an area where several nice pools cascade down the valley.
It only took a few minutes to hook my first brookie, a brilliant 9-incher that took a pink-hued streamer. Moments later Dave caught its twin.
During the course of the afternoon we caught and released many more brookies, and lost/missed several others. The fish weren't big — a 10-incher is an exceptional fish, one that's defied the odds by living a few years, a feat that includes eluding the jaws of predators, summertime droughts that turn streams into trickles, and brutal winter temperatures that create anchor ice, which can freeze trout eggs laid the previous fall. But what the fish lack in size they make up for in beauty … and the joy of catching stream-bred trout.
A week later Dave and I fished another gorgeous trout stream. It was the first time we'd ever fished this creek, a tributary to the Allegheny River. While it gets a stocking of adult trout in the early spring, it also is one of the hundreds of waters listed — by the Fish and Boat Commission — of having natural reproduction of trout.
There's something special about the first time on a stream, an element of unknowing that adds a sense of adventure. I've fished several of these Allegheny River tributaries this year; some have produced wild trout, some only creek chubs. But they've had one thing in common: a steep descent down to the water. This was no exception.
We heard this stream long before we saw it, the roar of rushing water serenading us as we walked down the trail. There was no disappointment when we finally reached the stream, a tumbling blend of riffles, waterfalls and rocky pools.
And there were trout there; maybe not in great numbers, but trout. The highlight for Dave was a beautifully hued brook trout in the 12- to 13-inch range. The fish was a perfect specimen, which suggests it might have been a wild fish, but given its exceptional size it was likely a leftover from the spring stocking.
We also caught some wild brown trout, including one that took my Humpy dry fly as it floated in the foam below a postcard-picture waterfall.

Billy Ray Cyrus calls slain Nevada teacher a 'hero'
RENO, Nev. — Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus honored a Nevada teacher killed by a 12-year-old student in a schoolyard shooting last year, calling him a "true American hero."
Cyrus praised Michael Landsberry and presented a memorial plaque to his widow, Sharon, during a concert Saturday night in Incline Village, a Nevada community on the north shore of Lake Tahoe.
Police say Landsberry, a 45-year-old ex-Marine, tried to talk the shooter into turning over the handgun before he was shot in the chest Oct. 21 at a middle school in the Reno suburb of Sparks. The student wounded two classmates before taking his life.
"Tonight we are here to honor a true American hero," Cyrus told a crowd of over 1,000. "Michael Landsberry made the ultimate sacrifice to save his students after serving three terms in Afghanistan."
Cyrus said Landsberry also represented the courage of the Vietnam veteran honored in his patriotic song, "Some Gave All." With a large photograph of Landsberry in the background and the math teacher's widow on stage, Cyrus led the crowd in singing the song.
Cyrus said he was moved by the story of Landsberry's actions in the school shooting and decided to recognize him when offered a chance to perform at Lake Tahoe.
He and his father, Ronald Ray Cyrus, made similar presentations honoring American heroes for more than a decade, and this marked the first time the country star has done so since his father's 2006 death.
"Just about every year, my dad and I would find an unsung hero and present them with a 'Some Gave All' award," he told The Associated Press. "I kind of play everything by ear, and I thought sometime when the time is right, I would love to recognize the sacrifice Michael made."
Sharon Landsberry thanked Cyrus and said his tribute moved her and their two daughters, Alisa Cook, 25, and Andrea Cook, 18. Alisa Cook also attended the concert, while Andrea Cook offered a videotaped message from an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, where she serves in the Marines.
"We all love him today. ... He lives within all of us," Sharon Landsberry said of her husband.
Cyrus, who rose to fame in 1992 with the hit song "Achy Breaky Heart," also gave her a "financial gift." The amount was not disclosed.
The singer is involved with a program called Do the Write Thing, which aims to reduce school violence by encouraging the public to alert authorities to potential problems at schools.

NEW YORK — Harrison Ford's injury will cause production on "Star Wars: Episode VII" to be suspended for two weeks.
Disney announced Sunday that shooting would be halted for two weeks in August to adjust the production schedule following Ford's injury. The 71-year-old broke his leg in June during filming of the much-anticipated sequel at Pinewood Studios outside of London.
Disney had said earlier that Ford's injury wouldn't cause any delays. The studio said Sunday that "Episode VII" is still "on track" to wrap in the fall and be released in December 2015. The accident involved a spacecraft door on the Millennium Falcon falling on Ford's leg. His recuperation was expected to take up to two months.

MONTECITO, Calif. — Jessica Simpson is a newlywed.
The singer and TV personality married retired NFL player Eric Johnson Saturday at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif., her publicist Lauren Auslander confirms.
Simpson and Johnson began dating in 2010. They have a 2-year-old daughter, Maxwell, and a 1-year-old son named Ace. Auslander said Ace served as a ring bearer and Maxwell walked down the aisle as a flower girl.
It is the second marriage for both Simpson, 33, and Johnson, 34. Simpson was previously married to singer Nick Lachey. The two co-starred on a VH1 reality series "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" for three seasons. Shortly after their third wedding anniversary, the two split up.

LAS VEGAS — Police have cited rapper Flavor Flav over his annual Fourth of July fireworks show outside his Las Vegas home.
The reality TV star has been accused of setting off thousands of dollars' worth of illegal fireworks at his holiday party since 2009.
Police put a stop to Friday's show when neighbors called to complain shortly after it started.
Police Lt. Ken Romaine told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that officers confiscated over 100 pounds of the entertainer's remaining fireworks and issued him two fireworks-related citations.
The rapper, whose real name is William Drayton, says his neighbors won't have to worry about his show next year because he's moving the party out of the neighborhood.
He says he doesn't want to go to jail over fireworks, and some 100 guests were having "a ball" until police arrived.

STL Design Patterns
Standard Template Library (STL) has been a part of C++ for a very long time but many people who have embraced C++ still hesitate in using STL in their projects. There is a feeling that STL is difficult and hard to learn. Nothing could be further from truth. STL is simple to use, debugged and efficient code. STL can reduce the amount on mundane repetitive code that takes up so much of project time.
In this series of articles we will consider some real life design patterns from Embedded and Real-time systems and develop them using STL. These examples will illustrate how easy it is to implement complex design patterns with very little coding.
Our examples in this article focus on the STL map. Map allows you to store data so that it can be quickly accessed via a key. For example consider a phone number of circuit mapping in a switching system. The phone numbers have such a wide range that an array cannot be defined to provide a quick access from the phone number to the circuit. Searching through all entries is not an option as it would be too expensive. Map addresses this problem by providing a quick access mechanism. This mechanism is implemented using red-black trees. Fortunately using map does not require understanding its internal operations. The following examples show two embedded system patterns implemented using maps:
Terminal Manager
Terminal Manager exemplifies a typical design pattern seen in embedded systems. Here a collection of terminals is being managed by the Terminal Manager. Management involves routing messages, creating and deleting terminals. (We more details about this design pattern refer to Manager Design Pattern).
The Terminal Manager implements the following methods:
- Add_Terminal: Create and add a new terminal
- Remove_Terminal: Remove and delete a terminal
- Find_Terminal: Find a terminal from its terminal_Id
- Handle_Message: Route the received message to the Terminal object
#include <map> // Header file include for map using namespace std;// STL containers are defined in std namespace class Terminal_Message { public: int Get_Terminal_Id() const; }; class Terminal { public: Terminal(int terminal_Id, int type); void Handle_Message(const Terminal_Message *pMsg); int Get_Terminal_Id() const; }; class Terminal_Manager { typedef map<int, Terminal *> Terminal_Map; Terminal_Map m_terminal_Map; public: enum Status {FAILURE, SUCCESS}; Status Add_Terminal(int terminal_Id, int type) { Status status; // Check if the terminal is already present in the map. count() // returns the total number of entries that are keyed by terminal_Id if(m_terminal_Map.count(terminal_Id) == 0) { // count() returned zero, so no entries are present in the map Terminal *pTerm = new Terminal(terminal_Id, type); // Since map overloads the array operator [ ], it gives // the illusion of indexing into an array. The following // line makes an entry into the map m_terminal_Map[terminal_Id] = pTerm; status = SUCCESS; } else { // count() returned a non zero value, so the terminal is already // present. status = FAILURE; } return status; } Status Remove_Terminal(int terminal_Id) { Status status; // Check if the terminal is present if (m_terminal_Map.count(terminal_Id) == 1) { // Save the pointer that is being deleted from the map Terminal *pTerm = m_terminal_Map[terminal_Id]; // Erase the entry from the map. This just frees up the memory for // the pointer. The actual object is freed up using delete m_terminal_Map.erase(terminal_Id); delete pTerm; status = SUCCESS; } else { status = FAILURE; } return status; } Terminal *Find_Terminal(int terminal_Id) { Terminal *pTerm; if (m_terminal_Map.count(terminal_Id) == 1) { pTerm = m_terminal_Map[terminal_Id]; } else { pTerm = NULL; } return pTerm; } void Handle_Message(const Terminal_Message *pMsg) { int terminal_Id = pMsg->Get_Terminal_Id(); Terminal *pTerm; pTerm = Find_Terminal(terminal_Id); if (pTerm) { pTerm->Handle_Message(pMsg); } } };
Routing Table
Routing Table is another pattern that can easily be implemented using map. In this routing table, a mapping is maintained from the Node Id to the Link Id. Each routing table entry is specified as a pair of Node Id and Link Id. Given a Node Id, the Routing Table returns the Link Id. We can write pretty much the same code as the previous example to implement it, but we will take a different route to implement the same functionality. This time we will use another feature of STL, the iterator.
Think of iterators as pointers on steroids. Iterators are special types defined by the map that give the appearance of a pointer. Iterators allow you to iterate through the complete data structure. For example the iterator in a map allows you to iterate through the complete map. The iterator points to a structure containing the key (marked as first) and the actual value stored in the as second. If this sounds confusing, the following example of the Routing Table pattern should clarify things.
The Routing Table implements the following methods:
- Print: Prints out all the entries in the routing table.
- Add_Routing_Entry: Adds a new entry into the routing table
- Remove_Routing_Entry: Removes an entry from the routing table
- Route: Provides the Node Id to Link Id mapping
#include <map> // Header file include for map using namespace std; // STL containers are defined in std namespace typedef int Node_Id; typedef int Link_Id; #define INVALID_LINK_ID (-1) class Routing_Table { typedef map<Node_Id, Link_Id> Routing_Map; Routing_Map m_routing_Map; public: enum Status {FAILURE, SUCCESS}; void Print() { // STL defines a nested type iterator. Here we have declared an instance // of this nested type. Routing_Map::iterator it; // Iterator it "points" to a structure defined as: // struct Pair // { // Node_Id first; // Link_Id second; // }; // map supports predefined begin() and end() markers. begin() "points" // to the first entry in the map. end() points BEYOND the last entry // in the map (i.e. the last entry is the entry just before end() // STL provides pointer like symantics to iterators, thus it++ moves // the iterator to the next entry in the map. for (it = m_routing_Map.begin(); it != m_routing_Map.end(); it++) { printf ("Node_Id = %d, Link_Id = %d\n", it->first, it->second); } } Status Add_Routing_Entry(Node_Id node_Id, Link_Id link_Id) { Status status; // First check if the entry already exists if (m_routing_Map.find(node_Id) != m_routing_Map.end()) { // Iterator returns a value other than end, thus this // is a duplicate addition, return failure status = FAILURE; } else { // The end iterator was returned, signifying that // no entry currently exists, so a new one can be added. m_routing_Map[node_Id] = link_Id; status = SUCCESS; } } Status Remove_Routing_Entry(Node_Id node_Id) { Status status; // Check if the terminal is present if (m_routing_Map.find(node_Id) != m_routing_Map.end()) { // Erase the entry from the map. m_routing_Map.erase(node_Id); status = SUCCESS; } else { status = FAILURE; } return status; } Link_Id Route(Node_Id node_Id) { Link_Id link_Id = INVALID_LINK_ID; // Check if the route entry is present if (m_routing_Map.find(node_Id) != m_routing_Map.end()) { link_Id = m_routing_Map[node_Id]; } return link_Id; } };

A 26 won't be hard to find in any shop. Great choice, the 26 is a great CCW. It is easy to conceal and shoots like a larger handgun. Carry a spare 19 or 17 mag and you're good to go.
Good luck!

I second the motion on going to Ed's for your purchase. They have long been considered one of the best Glock dealers in the south-east. They will do you right trust me.
Glock 4th Gen? - Georgia Outdoor News Forum
Weagle on the GON forum is the sale's manager at Ed's in Stockbridge, Ga.
He posts the new GSSF prices. I lucked out and got my G27 at $398 + GSSF fee+ sales tax last year.
You are still getting out of the door under $500 with a brand new Glock. In this day and age a few saved bucks go a long way.

Jacksonville Jaguars Somehow Least Dysfunctional NFL Team In State of Florida
JACKSONVILLE – Despite an 0-8 record, a twice-suspended starting wide receiver, and a roster that many analysts claim may be the worst the NFL has seen in years, the Jacksonville Jaguars have somehow managed to attain the status of "least dysfunctional professional football team in the state of Florida," it was reported early Tuesday.
"As an organization, we're proud to hold this distinction," said Jags owner Shahid Khan. "While we're aware that there are challenges yet to overcome, mostly pertaining to the act of winning games and stuff, we're pleased to see that our efforts to create a solid, stable foundation in which our head coach does not openly feud with our quarterbacks, and our linemen do not bully or racially victimize one another, have not gone unnoticed."
While the state's other NFL franchises, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins, respectively cope with an outbreak of MSRA infections, and a locker room prone to vicious hazing, the Jaguars continue to be a model of calmness and cohesion, relatively speaking.
"You have to give Jacksonville a lot of credit," said CNN/SI NFL writer Andrew Brandt. "While their neighbors to the south seem to erupt with new scandals almost daily, the Jags continue to lose games in a quiet, consistent fashion. They're almost zen-like in their commitment to predictable, non-distracting failure."
"That's simply how we do business here," claimed Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley. "We only sign players who we feel are even-tempered and gentle of spirit, so as not to expose our team to any Richie Incognito-type dramas. Any talent that they may have at, you know, running and catching and whatnot is purely a bonus."

I feel bad 'cus I thought Martin was just being a pussy about it… Turns out the kid had a reason to walk outta that place :/
But the Buccs are also 0-8, even though their defeats haven't always been huge embarrassments
This is hilarious because it is true. Who would have ever thought there was reason to be jealous of Jacksonville among the Florida teams? They may suck, but they do it quietly, disease free, and without bullying others.
Well…it's true. Shoulda slammed TB some more, they're pretty bad.
HAHA excellent article guys.
^ that is a true fan, to have to deal with that losing and then keep seeing them.
funny…I see their games every week when there isn't a Bye…and they haven't had a blackout in YEARS!!!
and they even tried to get less publicity by removing their games from tv.

SANTA ROSA de COPAN, Honduras -- Central American Medical Outreach sends medical teams (brigades) to Honduras each year to train Honduran professionals and share in changing lives through various services.
This past week, numerous specialists were working in Honduras -- prosthetics, dental, plastic surgery, EMS and technical training, eye screenings and eye surgery.
In this region, when you become blind from cataracts, friends and family must continue working to survive. During the eye team's trip in February an elderly woman with cataracts in both eyes was taken to the team by her daughter. Essentially blind, the woman was relying on her family for basic survival.
The woman was scheduled for surgery with Dr. John Thomas. Afterward, with her eye patches removed, Thomas noticed her looking around the room. But like before, the daughter began to help her mother stand up and began to lead her.
In Spanish, Thomas told the young woman, "She can see." Finally looking at her mother, and noticing the recognition in her eyes, the daughter began to cry.
CAMO's eye team has been traveling to Honduras for close to 20 years. And over the years Thomas has formed a tight-knit relationship with his counterpart in Santa Rosa, ophthalmologist Dr. Hector Robles. The two have shared techniques, instruments, tools, patients, and many miraculous stories.
CAMO's counterpart method is unique. Each team has a Honduran partner with whom they communicate year-round, discussing material and educational needs, along with working side-by-side during the brigades. The relationships can even inspire the next generation to become activists for their communities.
Motivated by the work of his father and his close counterpart, the son of Robles, Marco, has become an ophthalmologist, working alongside CAMO teams in the OR. And this past week, Marco made history by completing the first retina surgeries in the western region of Honduras.
Crucial to performing eye surgeries are the rest of the eye team, working in the clinic to examine patients and schedule a select few surgeries. This year optometrists Dr. Scott Pycraft of Wooster and Dr. Phil Raber of Kidron worked with a team of bilingual students and CAMO team members to examine hundreds of patients who lined up outside the clinic each day.
During one patient's exam, Raber evaluated a man whose eyes were so bad he could not see, so Raber gave him a pair of reading glasses. As soon as he put them on the man got a huge grin.
Marcia Murphy, a member of the eye team, recalls, "It was like a light bulb went on. He started reading the whole eye chart, line by line, and then he started reading the numbers down the sides. It was in an instant he went from extremely sad to extremely happy."
CAMO is located in Santa Rosa, Honduras and on 322 Westwood Ave in Orrville. For more information call 330-683-5956 or visit website at www.camo.org.

Home Remedies
Home Remedies
With Vet Prices as High as they are, Not all of us can run to the vet when our Pet is ill. I support Home Remedies because I have proved they work, and they will get your Dog back on Track without you, Emptying your Bank Account. But If it is something Serious and Urgent, Then PLEASE take your dog in right away. You wouldn't like to suffer, so don't let your dog.
What Certain Remedies do for Certain Ailments
Hypoglycemia: (low blood sugar)
Tiny dogs, puppies in particular, do not have an adequate supply of internal fat to maintain a constant blood sugar level. Hypoglycemic episodes can happen in times of stress, illness, or going too long without food. Make sure your new puppy has food available at all times for the first few weeks and never leave the puppy alone for extended periods of time until he has fully adjusted to his new environment and is eating on a regular basis.
Always keep honey or Karo syrup on hand in case of an emergency, also giving NurtoCal will do the same at Karo Syrup.
he first signs of hypoglycemia are usually staggering, unsteadiness, weakness, lethargy. Can lead to unresponsiveness and seizures. This is an emergency and you must act quickly!
Cover a fingertip in honey and get it into the dogs mouth, rub into gums and try to pry mouth open if he will not lap it up on his own. Once he gets the taste of it, he should start to lap on his own and come around fairly quickly. Make sure the pup starts eating adequately, you can offer plain yogurt, meat baby food or boiled chicken bits to induce an appetite. If pup is refusing all food, you must seek veterinary advice.
Do not feed your dog for twelve to twenty-four hours following a bout of diarrhea. Then you can offer a very small amount of soft, bland food such as cooked rice and skinless chicken breast, pasta, or potatoes mixed with low-fat cottage cheese (9-to1 ratio). Feed only small meals three or four times a day. Make the return to normal food a normal diet gradually over about a week's time by mixing in small quantities of the normal food with the bland diet.
Withholding food for 24 hours from very small dogs or puppies may lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and is dangerous. In this instance, withhold food for several hours and administer small amounts of honey, Karo syrup, or sugar water frequently during the period of food withdrawal.
You can give your dog Kaopectate, one teaspoon each ten pounds of weight every four hours.
You can also give these medications-
Pepto-Bismol- 1/4 teaspoonful per ten pounds of body weight every 6-8 hours.
Immodium- 0.5 milligrams per 10 pounds of body weight every six to eight hours.
If the diarrhea has not cleared up in 48 hours you will need to seek treatment for your dog from your veterinarian. Persistent or bloody diarrhea are the signs of serious illnesses and can quickly lead to death.
Acne and Impetigo
Acne and impetigo are bacterial infections of the skin in which you see red bumps and bumps filled with pus. Acne occurs on the chin and impetigo on the abdomen.
Both infections can usually be controlled by:
Wash the affected areas once ot twice daily with antibacterial shampoo containing 2.5% benzoyl peroxide soap or by the application of 70% isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to follow soap washing with a thorough rinsing.
Both infections do usually clear up, althoug some cases may need a veterianrian's attention and antibiotics.
If you don't see an improvement within about a week or the condition looks to be getting worse, stop the home treatment and seek a veterinarian's care.
If constipation is mild, not associated with other symptoms and doesn't last for 48 hours here are a few things you can do.
1.Feed your dog dry dog food. Dry dog food has more bulk than canned dog foods.
2.Water and bran (up to 5 tablespoons daily) added to the food may help.
3.You can try commercial preparations containing psylluim; (such as Metamucil) they are designed for humans and are sold in drugstores.
Metamucil dosage: 1/2 teaspoon twice a day to small pets and about 2 teaspoons twice a day to large dogs. Try mixing it with a small portion of canned food. Give your pet access to plenty of water.
4.Mix a tablespoon or two of canned pumpkin with your dogs pet food for several days or until the constipation has ended.
5.Milk will sometimes relieve constipation. Give 1/8 cup twice a day to small dogs and 1/2 cup twice a day to larger dogs.
6.Mineral oil (1 tablespoon per 10 pounds) will sometimes relieve more severe constipation. Do not use this all of the time as mineral oil will interfer with the absorption of oil-soluable vitamins.
Mineral oil should only be put in food and not forced orally.
If your dog has reaccuring bouts of constipation take the dog to your veterinarian.
Coprophagy (Stool Eating)
You should let a young dog know that coprophagy is not acceptable by voicing "no" in a firm and disgusted manner.
While working to change the behaviour, it is critical that the dog not have the opportunity to eat stool when unsupervised and you'll need to clean up the animal's stool immediately after he or she defecates.
1.Dietary changes may help. Allowing free access to food, adding good quality proteins such as eggs and cottage cheese.
2.Your dog could be lacking certain vitamins or minerals in their diet. Try adding a multivitamin to his/her food.
3.Adding the enzyme papain to the food will also sometimes prevent coprophagy. This can be done at home by sprinkling meat tenderizer containing papain on food.
4.Try sprinkling the waste with cayenne pepper. This will take the fun out of eating waste. Or better yet if you are able to clean up after your pet immediately after a bowel movement this will remove the temptation.
5.You can also try a product called FORBID that can be purchased from a pet supply dealer.

Kennel Cough
Any dog owner whose pet has become infected with kennel cough (or bordetella bronchiseptica) knows what a struggle it can be to treat the problem once the virus has set in.' It is likely that your pet has contracted kennel cough if he or she was recently boarded in a kennel or has been in contact with another dog harboring the virus.' Kennel cough is an air borne virus, which can be carried in aerosol droplets from the discharge of an infected animals sneeze or cough or via direct contact with another animal.
Kennel cough can produce a number of symptoms including a dry, hacking cough, gagging responses, sneezing, and when the virus progresses can result in fever, nasal discharge and the coughing up of mucus. Without treatment, kennel cough can escalate into a very serious infection or even pneumonia.
Effectively handling kennel cough is much easier when treatment is administered soon after the initial development of symptoms. There are several well-known and very efficient homeopathic treatments for the problem.
In the beginning stages, if your dog is suffering from a dry and retching cough use a treatment of any over the Counter Children's cough suppressants containing dextromethorphan hydrobromide, 1mg/lb body weight every six hours can be administered if the cough is overly frequent and tires your dog. Remember, however that a cough is a protective reflex designed to clear secretions from the larynx and airways and therefore should not be unduly suppressed.
Putting 3 Drops of Hydrogren Peroxide and diluting it with Honey and Mixing it in any Dog water Dish of any size. Do not give them more Peroxide if they drink all the water, Refresh the water Once daily and only add 3 drops of Peroxide a Day. You can Mix Plenty of Honey to Soothe the dogs throat, or they have a coughing fit give them an eye dropper or syring full of Honey. Even if only one of your dogs is cough the other dogs will catch it in a matter of time. Give all Pets in the Home the Peroxide Remedy. Should Clear up in a Week and Some Won't even catch it, if you keep up with this regiment daily.
Cough suppressants mask signs but do not treat any disease.
Artificial Respiration
To start your dog to breathing again you will need to do mouth-to-nose respiration. The dog's mouth should be sealed tightly closed using two hands, then the person's mouth should be placed firmly around the dog's nose. With gentle blowing into the nose for several seconds eight to ten times per minute, the dog may begin to breathe on it's own.
Once the dog starts breathing you should get the animal to your veterinarian.
If your dog's not breathing and it's heart is not beating, you will want to try CPR.
CPR is a combination of heart massage and artificial respiration.
The dog should be put on it's right side on a hard surface. The animal's airway should be cleared by pulling out her tongue and checking inside her mouth and throat before beginning.
First, mouth-to-nose resuscitation should be performed. (see above)
If there is still no heartbeat, heart message can be performed. A dog's heart is located in the chest just behind her front legs.
With pressure appropriate for the dog's size, the heels of both hands should compress the dog's chest and then release it. This should be repeated rapidly, six to ten times, then mouth-to-nose resuscitation repeated.
If no pulse is felt the process may be repeated, but if no positive results are seen after about ten minutes the process is probably not going to work.
If possible while performing the CPR you should have someone trying to obtain veterinary help.
Allergic Dermatitis
Freguent bathing (every one to two weeks) helps control the signs of Allergic Dermatitis in many dogs and also helps prevent secondary-- bacterial infection. Use a gentle hypoallergenic shampoo (for example, castile shampoo, baby shampoo or a veterinarian prescribed shampoo like "Vet Solutions" Aloe and Oatmeal Shampoo), never use soap or a detergent. If you find that bathing your dog makes it worse, don't continue.
Giving your dog Benedryl may also help. 1 to 2 mg per pound body weight every 8 hours.
Dry Skin and Dander
1. You can use diluted Murphy's soap to bathe your dog if your dog suffers from dry skin, dander or even some allergies. The Murphy's soap will clean your dog as well as soothe it's skin. Always be sure to rinse the dog well.
2. If you suspect a deficiency of essential fatty acids you can supplement the diet with 1 teaspoon to 1 1/2 teaspoons (no more) per pound of dry food or poulty drippings, lard, bacon fat, or vegetable oil (safflower, corn, soybean, or cottonseed oil are good).
Canned foods containing 2%-3.5% fat can have fat added at about 1 tablespoon per pound can. Soft or moist foods containing more than 6% fat should not have fat added.
Fat should only supply 5%-20% of the diet's calories. Do not increase the fat content so that fat supplies more than 40% of the daily caloric requirment as this may induce other nutritional deficiences by lower total food consumption, so beware.
Skin improvement is usually seen in about 1-2 months.
Primary (idiopathic) Seborrhea (dog's equivalent of dandruff)
This can be controlled (not cured) by frequent, regular bathing every 3 to 7 days with speical medicated shampoos that contain ingredients such as antiseptics, salicylic acid, coal tar and sulfur. In general, dry scales respond best to a mild, hypoallergenic, emollient shampoo followed by an emollient rinse. (example: bath oil, one capful to 1-2 quarts of water. ) Greasy types are best managed with products containing antiseptic degreasers such as benzoyl peroxide and drying agents such as sulfur, salicylic acid, or selenium disulfide. You can use some human antidandruff shampoos, but it is safest to obtain an antiseborrheic shampoo designed for dogs from your veterinarian as some formulations for people can be irritating to some dog's skin.
If regular bathing and good flea control does not help within a month then see your veterinarian.
Insect Stings
1. If sting is on a flat part of the skin easily seen, apply a freshly sliced onion or a cold compress for a few minutes.
2. Give your dog benydryl.1 to 2 mg per pound body weight.
3. Other ways to help your pet deal with a minor insect sting is to apply a paste of baking soda and water to the bite or sting several times a day. You can also use milk of magnesia and apply it directly to the bite to help reduce the itching and the irritation.
Removing the Stinger
If your pet is stung by a bee, wasp or hornet and you see the stinger, do not use your fingers or tweezers to remove stinger as it will squeeze more poison into the wound.
Holding a dull knife perpendicularly to the skin, scrape across area of sting a few times, this will grab the stinger and release it without pain. Put some calamine on the area once removed.
Severe Reaction
If your pet is stung in the mouth, nose or tongue, remove the stinger if you can and then watch your pet carefully. If your pet is stung at 10:00 and at 10:10 the swelling is big, then they are having a severe reaction to the sting and you should take your pet to see your veterinarian immediately.
A severe reaction to a sting can lead to difficulty in breathing and possibly death.
If your pet is stung at 10:00 and at 10:30 there is mild swelling and irritation, this is not a severe situation, but should still monitored.
It is best to find out the source of the itch and treat it.
You can relieve your pet's itch with calomine lotion or an over the counter spray or lotion corticosteroid.
Sometimes adding vitamins such as vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium and zinc will help (ask your veterinarian for the correct dose for your dog) or adding one teaspoon of safflower oil to your dog's food daily.
Don't rule out the possibility of allergies or the mange as a cause of your pet's itch or some underlying health problem.
Coccida: (opportunistic protozoa)
Coccidia lives in the bowels of all dogs. Something has to weaken the immune system for the protozoa to have the opportunity to multiply and cause problems. Usually this is brought on by stress of some sort. The first signs are usually decreased appetite and loose, foul smelling stool that may contain bloody mucous. This can escalate into a bout of hypoglycemia. If your puppy shows signs of this, immediately seek veterinary advice. A daily supply of plain yogurt containg acidophilus can prevent coccidia from multiplying by keeping a balance of good bacteria in the GI tract.

That all sounds good, but my vet warned about using honey in puppies. He said to use Karo Syrup instead, because honey can cause botulism and other problems.

Hmm...Really? I have never had any Ill effects with honey. I tried the kennel cough remedy on 12 dogs and they were all cured within a week. Plus I know lots of breeders that use honey for other things.

Last year, when it came time to make our resolutions, Zoe proudly proclaimed "this year I'm not going to drink wine!" Her father and I were not amused but boy when she said she wasn't going to drink wine, she meant it! Not a drop of wine passed her lips. So proud of her accomplishment, just last week she asserted that in 2014 "I'm not going to smoke" and you know what, I'm thinking my kid is on to something. Something BIG! So here goes....with my 2014 Resolutions.
- In 2014, I pledge to not only not smoke but I also pledge to not do any illegal drugs, whatsoever. No marijuana, no crack, no cocaine and especially no meth.
- In 2014, I will not steal, not even one little thing. In fact, I'll take it one step further by promising to not commit any crime, of any kind. You heard it here first folks - I'm staying on the straight and narrow all year long.
- In 2014, I will not lose weight. Not a pound. I will not work out. I will not join a gym and I will certainly not go on any crazy liquid diet which benefits no one, especially not the people who have to live through those 14 excruciating hours of deprivation with me.
- In 2014, I will not read books about self-improvement and journal my way to a more purposeful life. Let's face it, I'm in my 40's now and that train has left the station.
- In 2014, I will not drink more water, eat less red meat nor consume more leafy green vegetables. I will do just the opposite and hopefully, live to tell about it.
- In 2014, I will not even consider joining the PTA or offer to take the lead planning a school party, but I'll always be the first to sign up for napkins or any other paper product on the party list.
- In 2014, I will not follow a chart that promises to keep my house clean by my devoting one hour a day to cleaning it. Instead, I'll clean the entire house in one long, hot, horrific day, while I scream at my family to help me. It'll be as excruciatingly painful as it sounds but my house will be insanely clean.
- In 2014, I will not put up laundry when it comes out of the dryer nor will I wash the dishes right after a meal. I'll let both pile up to the point where I will lose my mind on a weekly basis and then institute a children's chore list, that we will all promptly forget about. I will do this every single week in 2014.
- In 2014, I will not get a tattoo, not even a cool Chinese symbol right over my heart to signify my unwavering commitment to the universe. This one will be a real struggle but Becky promises to help me keep it.
- In 2014, I will nag Brody about pretty much everything. He'll pretend not to hear me so I'll repeat myself to the point that I annoy even myself. I'll commit, however, to work on this resolution daily, so as to perfect it.
And when 2015 rolls around, I'll have done something I've never done before...kept every single one of my resolutions!
