Best Of :: Food & Drink
Jerry Seinfeld once said, "Where there's Chinese food, there's leftovers." That's not necessarily true with all such restaurants around town, but it's exactly what you get with Susie Lai when you're hankering for some Chinese take-out. This place serves enough Szechuan to keep you fat and giggly for at least half a week. Tucked in the corner of a tiny strip mall in North Miami Beach, the quaint restaurant has been a well-kept secret among the loyal patrons who have frequented it for years. Many Chinese restaurants offer overpriced, cold, minute portions of shriveled pork and chicken that look and eat like cardboard. Susie Lai's food is not only affordable but also piping-hot, delicious, and plentiful. Take-out combo dinners, which include an egg roll and a box of pork-fried rice or natural brown rice, start at $7.95. Try the sweet-and-sour pork or chicken combo ($8.75) or the hardy honey-garlic chicken combo ($9.25). The pepper steak has a mildly spicy kick, and the fried rice is never too oily or undercooked. And unlike other places, Susie Lai has prompt service and a friendly staff. Call to order, and your food will be steaming and waiting for you when you walk through the door. Good food. Large portions. Real cheap. That's the staple of any good Chinese restaurant, and Susie Lai has gobs of it. Hours are Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday noon to 10 p.m., and Sunday 3 to 9:30 p.m.
Let's talk alchemy. For centuries, wizened scholars — toiling in dark cellars, their wispy gray beards flirting with flames as they cooked cauldrons of metals and spices — searched endlessly for the secret to transmuting basic elements into something new, something otherworldly. Everyone from Isaac Newton to Tycho Brahe grew obsessed with finding the key. Honestly, they should have just ordered some pho at Miss Saigon. How else to explain what happens inside the massive, steaming bowl delivered to your table at the small Vietnamese eatery on Washington Avenue (or inside its larger sister restaurants in Coral Gables and Pinecrest)? In go a few basics: unctuous broth, thick rice noodles, and chunks of raw beef or chicken, topped off at the table with a plate of basil and sprouts and squirted with bottles of fiery red hot sauce and deep-black plum sauce. Yet into your mouth goes a magically complex meal, infinitely better than the sum of its humble parts. (And a steal at $10.95 for a bowl easily big enough for two). If that's not alchemy, our name is Ptolemy.
The American South has given us Hee Haw, boll weevils, Dollywood, and 92 percent of all mosquitoes in the United States. But it has also bestowed upon us Ray Hicks of West Virginia. It was he who brought Miami locals the First & First Southern Baking Company. When it comes to breakfast, Hicks's hot licks include cornmeal/blueberry pancakes; potato pancakes; blackberry waffles; chicken and waffles (with real maple syrup); a "lumberjack" breakfast of eggs, fried potatoes, two pancakes, two bacon strips, two sausage links, and a fruit cup; oatmeal; and, of course, grits. Most breakfasts run $5 to $9 and are served from 8 to 11 a.m. It's almost enough to make you want to put on a Lynyrd Skynyrd CD. Almost.
Almost as famous as this local chain's coal-oven pizza are its chicken wings. Spared from goopy sauces, Anthony's are seasoned with flavorful herbs and roasted at high heat in the oven. They arrive at the table in orders of ten ($8.95) or 20 ($14.95) with sweet caramelized onions and focaccia on the side. Their skin sports a nice char, and the flesh is moist inside. They are to the palate a coal-fired delight.
We all love Lulu — at least those of us old enough to remember her tearfully singing, "How do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?" to Sidney Poitier in To Sir With Love. Huh? Oh. Yes, of course. It goes without saying that we also all love Lulu the restaurant — operated by the team behind the Grove's number one meeting spot, GreenStreet. In fact, it is located right across the street from that landmark eatery and is something of a smaller, cozier version with the same mission: to provide a sidewalk café environment where locals can gather for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch — and lollygag over cocktails, wine (all bottles $25, all glasses $8), and value-driven cuisine. They call it "neighborfood," which means sandwiches of fried green tomatoes and apple-wood-smoked bacon ($11); shrimp tacos ($15); hamburgers, and patties culled from turkey, pork, and brown rice/black beans too ($12 to $15). Entrées likewise lean toward popular American classics: rotisserie chicken with French fries ($18); truffled mac and cheese ($13); and chimichurri churrasco ($20). We all love Lulu, which is why its tables have been packed since opening day. Wonder what became of that other Lulu?
It is a labor of love born from a love story: Jeremy and Paola Goldberg met while they were students at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. After years of earning their stripes in other people's restaurants, the couple serendipitously ended up in Miami and opened a place of their own — located in Coral Gables and named for the highway that swoops by their alma mater. Jeremy helms the dining room, Paola is the chef, and the restaurant serves fresh, home-cooked fare. The concise menu includes charcuterie and cheese plates ($13), soups and salads ($6 to $9), small plates ($6 to $13), main plates ($14 to $23), and sides ($6). There are sticky chicken wings, burrata cheese with fig preserves, and entrées such as prosciutto-wrapped pork loin, and flank steak with grilled romaine hearts and blue cheese vinaigrette. Each plate, of course, is likewise loaded with love. The waitstaff here is excellent, and service is about as good as it gets: personable, knowledgeable, efficient, and professionally trained. Those years spent managing restaurants evidently served the Goldbergs well.

Murrayville freight line to reopen
Graingrowers and the Mildura Rural City Council have won their campaign for the reopening of the Ouyen to Murrayville freight line.
The line closed last year and was ranked only silver-line status in the Fischer rail freight review report, below the gold ranking the Victorian Government was targeting for upgrades.
But during a Community Cabinet visit to the Wimmera yesterday, the Premier announced $39 million to reopen the Murrayville line and upgrade other silver lines, including Warracknabeal to Hopetoun, Charlton to Sea Lake and Quambatook to Manangatang.
The chairman of the Alliance of Councils for Rail Freight Development, Vernon Knight, says after years of pushing the case for rail freight he is thrilled at the Government's current direction.
"I think rail is well and truly back on the agenda and I have got nothing but praise for the Government's initiative because this has been a major turnaround," he said.
But the Nationals' Member for Lowan, Hugh Delahunty, says the Government is short-changing the rail freight sector.
"The reality is the Fischer report said there needed to be another $5 million on top of what the Brumby Government's given," he said.
"So it really disappoints us in country Victoria, these major infrastructure things that are important for the transport of country Victoria, we're being short-changed by the Brumby Government."

Herniated Disc in Neck Symptoms
A herniated disc in neck can cause another commond condition called a pinched nerve in neck. This is a result of a disc pushing against a cervical nerve root resulting in a dull pain that radiates down the shoulders and often into the arms and hands, with tingling and paraesthesia in the fingers often one of the first symptoms of a herniated disc or bulging disc. Weakness in the arm muscles may accompany the dull pain in some cases. Tingling, clumsiness and lack of fine motor control can also be symptoms of a herniated disc in the neck. Other symptoms of a herniated disc result from nerve compression and nerve transmission problems, such as imbalance when walking, and both bowel and bladder incontinence.
and severe usually results in a herniated disc
When a Bulging Disc becomes Herniated
Symptoms of a bulging disc that have appeared over time may suddenly become chronic and severe on herniation of that disc. Accurate and early diagnosis of a bulging disc may allow intervention that prevents it from herniating, thereby reducing the likelihood of severe symptoms and acute neck pain. Sudden trauma to the neck may precipitate this escalation of symptoms, whether through an accident or even, in some cases, spinal manipulation from chiropractors, massage therapists, or osteopaths.
Common areas where Herniated Discs Occur
Herniated or bulging discs in other regions of the spine will have similar symptoms involving the lower extremities. The cervical and lumbar regions of the spine are the most common problem areas for discs as there is so much pressure put on these areas and so little margin for error in terms of available space for nerves and blood vessels to travel through.
The most common site for disc herniation is at C5-C6, where the C6 nerve root exits the spinal column. Herniation at this site will usually lead to muscle weakness in the biceps, and in the wrist extensor muscles. Pain that radiates down into the thumb of the hand along with tingling and numbness indicate a herniation at C5-C6.
Shoulder Pain Symptoms from a Herniated Disc
Other signs of specific disc herniation include weakness in the deltoid muscles and possible shoulder pain without numbness and tingling which can occur when the disc C4-C5 has herniated. C6-C7 herniation usually results in tricep weakness extending into the finger muscles. Numbness and tingling are common in this case, with pain down into the middle finger. Pain that radiates down the arm and into the little finger side of the hand may indicate a disc herniation at C7-T1 (the trigeminal nerve), also associated with loss of grip strength

Niall Horan newly single
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
One Direction's Niall Horan is newly single. According to The Mirror, the 19-year-old singer has split up with his girlfriend Amy Green, a 20-year-old drama student and aspiring actress.
The relationship didn't last much longer than Harry Styles and Taylor Swift's - the two reportedly started dating last October. The source says Niall was the one who ended it because of his hectic schedule - and maybe just in time, as One Direction is kicking off their eight-month world tour this Friday.
The source adds that Amy isn't taking it well, as she ended a four-year relationship to try things out with Niall. But Amy seemed to have a different version of the story and took to Twitter, saying that some of the reports about her split were "very funny."
Where do some people get their facts from?!! .. very funny— Amy Green ☮ (@AmyGreen92) February 17, 2013

Councilman Robert Pohlmann
Councilman George Steindoerfer
From: Kenneth W. Parker, City Manager
Subject: Agenda Commentary for Regular City Council Meeting of April 25, 2006
Date: April 17, 2006
A representative of KemperSports Management will be in attendance to make a report to the Council.
Attached is a proclamation concerning Building Safety Week.
Item 6 - General Employees Retirement Trust Fund (1 Term Expired on February 15, 2006
An appointment needs to be made to the General Employee Defined Benefit Retirement Plan Board. This appointment is for the member of the public designee. George Chatley has expressed a desire to be reappointed.
E. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (Non-Agenda)
Attached is the Project Managers' Report. If you have questions, please contact any of the Project Managers or me.
City Manager's Comments: All of the Project Managers have voiced concern over the rising cost associated with the various projects they are managing. Although the ones we have under contract are not the major concern, the ones that we are preparing to bid and also the ones that are to be constructed in the future are of concern. Next week, you will be seeing the first rough draft of the 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan for the City of Port Orange. Over the next several months, we will be working to bring the plan into balance with a concentration on those items that are required to meet our Comprehensive Plan requirements.
Item 8 - Approval of Halifax Sport Fishing Club's 18th Annual Fishing Tournament
The Halifax Sport Fishing Club is requesting permission to use the pier under the Port Orange Bridge on Saturday, May 6, 2006, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This will be their 18th annual fishing tournament benefiting mentally and physically challenged children and adults. They also ask permission to park a small delivery truck adjacent to the fishing dock for their refreshments and prizes, and it will be relocated after it is unloaded.
Staff recommends that Council approve the Halifax Sport Fishing Club's 18th Annual Fishing Tournament to be held on May 6, 2006, on the fishing pier under the Port Orange Bridge from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
This grant proposal is for a 4 x 4 quick attack brush unit. Under the terms of the grant, the Federal share is 90% with the City guaranteeing funding for the remaining 10%. The Department's brush trucks are in need of replacement due to continual mechanical problems and are out of service more than in service. This grant will benefit not only Port Orange but all other agencies to which we provide either mutual aid or automatic aid.
Staff recommends that Council approve submittal of the Fire Safety Act Grant EMW-2006-FG-09559 for the purchase of a brush truck in the amount of $100,000.
The Police and Fire Departments are requesting authorization to purchase the attached listed digital portable radio equipment to replace the current antiquated analog radios. This quote also includes the programming of the new radios. The sole source quote from Communications International is $210,006.50. A copy of the quote from Communications International is attached.
Staff recommends that Council approve the sole source purchase of 75 portable digital Jaguar radios from Communications International to replace all remaining antiquated MPA analog 800 MHz radios.
City Manager's Comments: This is a sole source contract because of the County-wide 800 MHz radio system. We will hold these radios in reserve to be used during major emergencies. Although they are out of date, they do have usefulness to us.
Item 11 - Bid Award – Design and Installation of Three (3) Floating Docks at Causeway Park
Two bids were received for the design and installation of three floating docks at Causeway Park (S.E. Cline Construction, Inc., - $58,325; Envirocare - $80,000). Staff recommends awarding the bid to S.E. Cline Construction, Inc., in the amount of $58,325. Funding of the design is from a Federal grant for the full amount.
Item 12 - Change Order No. 3 – Increase Robert Hall Construction's Contract for Construction of the Pavilion at the Amphitheater
Change Order No. 3 is being requested because the location of the transformer on the latest drawing is not in the location where it needs to be in order to best serve the needs of the pavilion and associated uses. The new location will result in a change order for extending conduit and wire to the desired location for main service of the pavilion at the Amphitheater. This change order increases our total contract for Phase 1A to $951,350.56. Staff recommends approval of this change order request. The funds for the change order are in the project contingency.
Southmass Construction, Inc., has requested Change Order No. 4 for changes and additions to their scope of work not included in their original bid price (Change Order No. 4 sheet attached). The total cost of all items is $52,579, which will bring the total contract price to $329,530.
Staff recommends that Council approve Change Order No. 4 to Gamble Restoration's Scope of Work in the amount of $52,579.
City Manager's Comments: With historical structures, when you remove a piece to repair, you always find something else that needs repairing. I have told Glen Walker that this is the last change order to the Southmass Contract. We will need to submit grants to the State of Florida and to Volusia County in order to continue the renovations of the historic properties at Gamble.
The agreement established with residents in the Halifax Mobile Home Park in 1998 calls for an annual purchase of units from owners in the Park. The purchase process is outlined in the Policy Handbook adopted by Council in February 2001. The proposed purchase has met the regulations outlined by the handbook. Council approval is being sought for the purchase of 103 Fourth Avenue from Edward H. Perry in the amount of $6,000.00 less any fees owed to the Park.
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the contract for the purchase of 103 Fourth Avenue from Edward H. Perry in the amount of $6,000.00.
Item 15 - Deductive Change Order – Final Acceptance, Median Landscape S.R. 5/U.S. Highway 1, Niver Street to Fleming Avenue
The U. S. 1 median landscape project is complete and has received acceptance from FDOT. Vila and Son Landscaping Corporation has submitted a final invoice in the amount of $34,467. This amount is a deduction of $8,338 from the purchase order amount of $42,805. The City received credit for 14 trees that were not installed due to sight visibility issues raised by FDOT. Staff recommends that Council approve the final deductive change order and final acceptance of Median Landscape S.R. 5/U.S. Highway 1, Niver Street to Fleming Avenue.
Staff recommends approval of the final deductive change order and final acceptance of Median Landscape S.R. 5/U.S. Hwy 1, Niver Street to Fleming Avenue.
Item 16 - R.F.S.Q. No. 06-05 – Architectural/Engineering Services for Development of the 36 Acre Park (Coraci Property)
Staff issued a Request for Statements of Qualifications for the 36 acre Coraci Park property development. Seven firms submitted Letters of Interest. The Selection Committee evaluated all seven submittals and short listed the field down to three firms. The three firms short listed were: Bellomo-Herbert; C. T. Hsu; and the RAM Professional Group. The committee held oral presentations from the firms and then final ranked the three firms. That final ranking is: 1 – Bellomo-Herbert; 2 – The RAM Professional Group; and 3 – C. T. Hsu. Staff recommends that Council approve the final ranking and authorization to enter into contract negotiations with Bellomo-Herbert, the team ranked as number one.
Item 17 - R.F.S.Q. No. 06-06 – Architectural Services for Police and Fire Facilities
Staff issued a Request for Statements of Qualifications for the Police and Fire (Public Safety) related projects that will be forthcoming. The Selection Committee short-listed the firms down to three. The Committee then heard oral presentations from all three. The Committees' final ranking is as follows: C. T. Hsu number one; KZF number two; and ADG number three. Staff requests approval of this final ranking and authorization to enter into negotiations with C. T. Hsu & Associates, the team ranked as number one.
Item 18 - Monthly Development Activity Report and the Building Activity Report for February and March, 2006
The attached Staff reports include the Development Activity Report for March, 2006, and the Building Activity Report for February, 2006. These reports provide information on proposed development and projects under construction, commercial code enforcement activity, and monthly building permits and inspection updates. Staff recommends that Council accept these reports.
We have completed a review of the budget through the 6 month period. We are making some adjustments in the budget, both in revenue and expense. Overall, I am pleased with the budget execution by our Departments and our Finance staff. They have done an extremely good job holding the line on expenses in very difficult times, especially with power and energy costs going the route they are going.
The Community Development Block grant requires a certain modification related to ethics in our purchasing policy. Although the City follows the policy, it was not a stated policy within our Purchasing procedure.
Attached is the Monthly Financial Report. If you have questions, please contact either John Shelley or me.
Item 22 - Historic Tree Removal Request – Commercial Property – 5030 South Ridgewood Avenue – Top Drawer Custom Closets
This is a request from the property owner, Irene Lambert, to remove one historic live oak tree. The tree is 62 inches in diameter and is located in the rear of the property adjacent to the principle structure. The building is fairly new. It was completed in 2001 and designed to preserve the tree. Ms. Lambert would like approval to remove this tree to construct employee parking and associated retention in the rear portion of the site. Community Development has been reviewing plans for the parking modification showing the tree to remain. During review, staff advised the applicant that the proposed retention pond encroached upon the critical root zone of the tree and requested that the stormwater design be modified. No further site plan submittals have been received, and the applicant has requested and received approval for a 30-day extension on the site plan re-submittal to go through the historic tree removal process.
An arborist, Todd Antalek of Arbor Care Services, was consulted by the property owner to inspect the tree. During the initial inspection, Mr. Antalek found indications of decay and recommended the tree be bored with an IML Resistograph machine. Attached is his report with his finding that the tree has heart rot and presents a "very serious liability to bodily and property damage." Staff concurs with this assessment.
Pursuant to Chapter 9, Article II, Section 16.5, approval to remove a historic tree on commercial property requires mitigation with replacement trees or by a contribution to the tree bank or a combination of the two, the amount of which is established in Resolution 02-71. Pursuant to Resolution 02-71, a deteriorated 62" tree shall be mitigated with nine replacement trees, or $4,076.00 payment to the tree bank, or a combination of replacement trees and tree bank payment. Due to the small size of the site and the limited green space, staff recommends accepting payment of $4,076.00 to the tree bank. The Environmental Advisory Board will be discussing this item and making their mitigation recommendation on April 19th. An update on their action will be reported at the Council meeting.
Staff recommends approval of the historic tree removal request conditioned on receipt of mitigation established in Resolution 02-71 as recommended by the Environmental Advisory Board.
Item 23 - The Reserve at Port Orange PUD: Final Site Development Plan; Improvement Agreement; Deed of Dedication for Right-of-Way; and Easements for Drainage, Utilities, Access, and Tree Conservation
This is a request to approve the final site plan for The Reserve at Port Orange, a PUD development consisting of 116 townhouse units on a 22.7-acre property; to approve the Improvement Agreement for The Reserve; to approve dedication of additional right-of-way on Spruce Creek Road; and to approve grants of easement rights in favor of the City for temporary, and ultimately permanent, access, ingress, egress, drainage, maintenance, and utilities and for perpetual tree conservation. The subject 22.7-acre property is located on the west side of Spruce Creek Road, between Selin Circle and Little Town Road.
Planning Commission Action: On December 15, 2005, the Planning Commission recommended approval, 6-0 (Commissioner Bickel excused), of a request to approve the final site plan for The Reserve at Port Orange. The Commission's recommendation includes conditions as specified in the staff report and in the accompanying update memorandum dated April 10, 2006.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval.
Item 24 - License Agreement, Assignment to the Concurrency and Fair-Share Agreement, and Joinder and Consent to the Concurrency and Fair-Share Agreement for Port Orange Landings, Phase I Subdivision
The Port Orange Landings Phase I development has been sold by the original developers, Port Orange Landings, LLC (a.k.a. Olson & Associates), to Centerline Homes at Port Orange Landings, LLC (a.k.a. Centerline Homes). Because this sale has occurred before recordation of the plat, it is now necessary to transfer the legal development obligations to the new owner. Specifically, the License Agreement and the Concurrency and Fair Share Agreement between Olson & Associates and the City must be assigned to Centerline Homes. Attached please find three documents, prepared by the City Attorney, to accomplish this. The first document is a new License Agreement to allow installation of landscape and hardscape features within roadway medians in the right-of-way. The second is the Assignment of the Concurrency and Fair Share Agreement, which transfers the concurrency obligations to the new owner. The third is the Joinder and Consent to the Concurrency and Fair Share Agreement, by which Centerline acknowledges its obligations under the original fair share agreement. Staff is requesting that the City Council approve and execute all three documents.
Item 25 - Resolution No. 06-38 - Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement for the Establishment of the Local Government Fire-Rescue and Emergency Medical Services Automatic Aid and Closest Unit Response System
The cities of Daytona Beach, Edgewater, Holly Hill, New Smyrna, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, South Daytona, and Daytona Beach Shores entered into an Interlocal Agreement for the establishment of the East Volusia Local Government Fire-Rescue and Emergency Medical Services Automatic Aid and Closest Unit Response System, which was recorded in the Official Records Book 5261, Pages 3947-57, Public Records of Volusia County, Florida. The parties and the City of Ponce Inlet and County of Volusia desire to modify and amend the Interlocal Agreement to include Ponce Inlet and Volusia County as participating local governments. Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.
Item 26 - Second Reading – Ordinance No. 2006-13 – Establishing the City's State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP)
Staff recommends approval.
Item 27 - First Reading – Ordinance No. 2006-14 - Amending Article I, Sections 42-2 and 42-3 of the Code of Ordinances Relating to the Nuisance Tree Ordinance
Currently, the Nuisance Tree Ordinance is limited to removal of sand pines that are leaning 45 degrees or more or sand pines that are diseased, damaged, or otherwise a hazard to public rights-of-way or public property. The amendment expands the enforcement to all tree species that are such a hazard. Staff recommends that Council approve the attached ordinance amending Sections 42-2 and 42-3, Article 1, of the Code of Ordinances.
Second Reading: May 16, 2006
Item 28 - Resolution No. 06-39 - Dawnview Square Florida Communities Trust Grant Application
The Dawnview Square FCT application will include homes that were damaged during the 2004 Hurricanes. Measuring roughly 6 acres and situated on the north side of All Children's Park, the City seeks funding assistance from FCT to acquire and remove the identified homes and expand All Children's Park into the project area to create open space for recreational and drainage purposes.
Currently, there is no appraisal information available. A total project cost estimate of $3,200,000.00 was developed based upon recently purchased property within the Woods subdivision. The City requests $1,600,000.00 (50%) from the FCT program. The City commits to a cash match of $1,600,000.00 or 50%. Contingent upon subsequent budget appropriations, potential match funding would derive from Recreational Impact Fees and the Drainage Fund, as well as the City's FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant application submitted in 2005 that is still under review.
Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit a Florida Communities Trust (FCT) grant application and to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute any agreements or contracts and provide a match.
At the last City Council Meeting, I had this scheduled for discussion at the end of the meeting. Because of the late hour, we delayed the discussion until the April 25 meeting. Included in the packet are the materials related to the types of projects that are being done in other communities.
Item 30 - Comments/Concerns from Council Members
At this time, Council Members may discuss various matters of concern.
Item 31 - City Council Committee Reports
At this time, Council Members may discuss various committees to which they have been assigned.

No, I am just teasing you, Dick. I am find it immensely amusing that you
object to me making fun of you like this when in prior threads you have
written about me that:
"Stereophile, the ultimate MQA cheerleader has lost all credibility . . ."
"Luminaries with far more credibility and brain power than you . . . "
"You have no credibility. Pathetic sir. Pathetic."
"I will take the word of Mr. Koch over the likes of you anyday of the week."
"If you were not a Stereophile hack, you would be banned."

Laughing at you, not with you, Dick.
John Atkinson
Editor, Stereophile
You have not published one single critical report of MQA. You crowned it as the second coming back in 2014 prior to any evidence what so ever being presented aside from a carefully packaged and canned demo.
I will be laughing at you when the whole thing goes up in flames and you are on the unemployment line.
But why would you expect them to?
As far as I can tell, Stereophile doesn't publish critical reports on anything. They don't position themselves as a consumer magazine or as an advocate for the consumer interest. This is outside their purview.
They do occasionally publish, without comment, links on their site to matters of consumer interest, as a service to their readers.
"...and you are on the unemployment line."
The problem with hyperbole is that it quickly devolves into statements that are unlikely to prove true.

"They don't position themselves as a consumer magazine or as an advocate for the consumer interest. This is outside their purview."
This is incorrect. They DO position themselves as a consumer advocate. Mr. Atkinson has posted here publicly on numerous occasions that their mission is to "server the reader". Their "reader" one has to assume is mostly consumers, with of course, industry participants.
As far as my hyperbole, if Stereophile is dead wrong about MQA, after putting so much stock in it, should their not be consequences?
What 'stock' are you talking about ? As far as I can tell, Stereophile did their job and reported on a new audio format. As they reported on HDCD, SACD and DVD-A.
For hyperbole, it was Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound, not Mr. Atkinson, who made the reader think this was the second coming. Read Harley's editorials (and reports) on MQA and see how different they are from John A's.
To everyone else: we got burned from hi-rez formats and this could be the source of suspicion over MQA. Were previous hi-rez formats better than CD ? With downloads, the same question, but with the added problem of mastering provenance.
Some audio writers are still lampooning SACD and hi-rez downloads. Anthony Cordesman of The Absolute Sound called these "expensive frauds" at the end of 2015, in one of his product reviews.
It's not just MQA, it's any format that claims better sound but doesn't deliver...
Edits: 04/07/17 04/07/17 04/07/17
MQA is not a format. It is a fabrication.
Even an Old Testament god has more things to worry about than whether Stereophile got MQA wrong. Opposing MQA does not require vilifying JA.
God hates MQA. :)
Thou shall not worship false idols.

**Active Autowerke Supercharged E46 M3 1/4 Mile Dyno Testing..Video Inside**
Hello Board,
We are constantly testing our shop cars for overall performance, power, drive ability and all of the other factors that makes our system what it is. With the ability to tune and modify our kits in house we can test so many different variables no matter how small they may be in an effort to better our kits. We are constantly tuning or should i say tweaking tunes to better support our kits to customers in different conditions. We also test hardware just as much and constantly beat on our parts to make sure they are reliable.
Our local track is down for renovation and will be open soon . We would like to get a few good runs at the drag strip as soon as it opens. So in the mean time instead of going to the track we brought the track to Active Autowerke. We also try to have some fun while we are at it.
Here are some vids... enjoy.
Nice! good work guys awesome!
Sounds good !
What's that exhaust ?
:drool: should see my car for the ASA kit soon :excited::excited:
Car sounds sick! That would be a great time considering the 60' and the temps. Trap speed seems kinda low though. Can't wait to see it on the track in cool conditions!
yo Omar pm me price....for E92 m3
That is the response? WTF?
I think that it would be better for AA to post that the car did 122mph at the 1000ft mark in the original post to attract more attention toward their product. I mean hell, that is huge.
I would do it again since it definitely seemed you let off early. If you got closer to 130mph trap in the 1/4, you would sell more kits. Sort of common sense to me, but...it's your thread man. :hmm:
With all due respect I think you have gotten a little ahead of yourself here on the forums and some of your comments to vendors and other members are somewhat offensive and rude.
As far as the 1/4 on the dyno was concerned it was just that a 1/4 run on a dyno. If you are not in agreement with the dyno run then sorry. Lately you have been using your time to drum up hype for vendors instead of being a normal enthusiast. We shared the clip with the community because at the end of the day we are all enthusiast. Its not only about selling kits,etc. We love cars just as much as they do.
p.s. Congrats on the magazine feature this month.:thumbsup:
I apologize if I came across like I was trying to be negative towards AA. I actually was trying to help you but I probably worded it poorly. I am excited that the car trapped 122 at 1000ft even though it was on a Mustang Dyno. I think that is pretty huge and I had just wished it kept going up until the 1/4.
I will be very excited to see what the car does on the actual strip. I do applaud AA for being around so long, supplying well engineered FI systems for the BMW enthusiasts and for giving such great service. Just because I like the HPF product does not mean I don't like any of AA's products. I show respect where it is due. And frankly...Taza's car is absolutely, positively massive! I LOVE IT! :bow:
Carry on.
so this is the gen5 kit? wat comes with the kit? blower and software?
i have a c16 map from u guys would this work? or i wound need a new map?
Hey Omar,
Very nice. How does this dyno simulated air drag? Do you put in a drag coefficient ? Obviously this can have some degree of inacuracy correct?
Also, I would make a suggestion to get some track time very early in the morning like around 6AM where there is the most amount of oxygen in the air.
Most Test and Tune times are at night and I am sure if run in the morning times would be better. If you notice magazine car tests they run many times early in the morning.
All the best !
how much does the kit weigh?
how much for a e46 323i. Omar pm me a price on a kit and what i sould expect from it please
I love the look of this kit......very interested in seeing some real world comparisons with VF stage 2 and hpf (pump setting) cars. Does anyone on the forums own one of these kits yet? Not sure if they're for sale to the general public at this time?

Good Evening
I have been following this over the last couple of days and as it is my pet
peeve at National Conferences etc I finally feel I need to respond.
Regardless of what is said the physical handout and the tape, when they are
available, even combined are insufficient to review and study the presentation
once you have left the lecture room. If these conferences are not intended to
be educational why are they pushed for professional members to attend? If
they are in fact educational why are we so paranoid about providing a copy of
the presentation electronically to, at a minimum, the attendees who pay
full price. It would be very easy to do with a code word protection that is
provided once you pay the fee. It is very frustrating to try and take notes on
those areas that as an attendee you are really interested in and the
presenter is flying through the PowerPoint. I cannot imagine that there would be
enough piracy to impact the presenters. There will always be people who take
advantage of these things and the only way you stop it is not show your
Come on folks. We want to be educated and we pay good money to go to
conferences, to Samford, and other for pay events. We deserved to be treated as
honorable people (I know--how naive can you get?).

Happy ending to a terrible recovery -Toronto, ON
I grew up being teased on a daily basis. My nose was one of the things they pointed out, it is not only crooked, bumpy, but it has a very bulbous tip. Kids can be merciless. As a result I have a lower self-esteem than I should, and I miss how small and straight my nose was when I was a little kid. I don't hate my nose, but I would love to feel better about it. I have had lots of people think... READ MORE

Ignore Ukraine, Watch Rates, Buy Blue Chips4/17/2014 5:00AM
Financial Advisor Kevin Myeroff doesn't worry about Russian saber-rattling, but he does fear rising interest rates may slam bonds. And he thinks big company stocks will thrive.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... obviously a financial advisor is there to advise about finances ... but they also play an important role sometimes just talking you off the ledge ... and Jack Otter Editor Barron's dot com on your Kevin Maroc ... was the president and CEO of NCA Financial Advisors ... so Kevin right now it's kind of scary there are troops ... in Crimea ... they're from Russia or thinking cold war may be worse ... on the market has been going up and down pretty dramatically something we haven't seen for a long while ... I you say what your clients about this ... you know that it's funny watching it all unfold ... and everytime something happens the market moves ... dramatically in one way or another ... so clients they're very confusing so you sort of look at the big picture ... I don't believe that what's happening in Russia ... is going to have a ... major impact at all to the U S economic ... climate ... nor do I think it's going to have a global economic impact ... most of our clients the best majority were not traders were investors were not worry about what's happening day to day when looking at the long-term of how this is going to play out ... their advice to our clients right now is ... relax look for some down periods of opportunity may be to put more money and ... let's keep our strategic asset allocation the way it is ... and nothing here is going to cause long term volatility your portfolio's and does this mean you're buying Russian small caps nowhere buying no Russian small caps ... now obviously on ... some buy and hold investors will say just turn off the TV ... ignore the news ... you know completely do that you say there are some long-term trends ... that are moving stocks or bonds and we should be in these keeping one eye on those one of those as interest rates ... we had a wonderful thirty something year bull market in bonds ... I think they get the sense that you think that that has come to an end we need to ... to play conservative all of us if anything the odds are that interest rates are going to rise I think the men arise more precipitously ... most people think I think that we see unemployment comeback even quicker than the estimate costs both interest rates and inflation ... to move up ... um with a lots in aviation law to risk over the next ... twenty four forty eight months ... and if that happens you gotta get short so we sat around we get thousands of hours of research from our team ... and that's what's the best way to take advantage of the bond for the portfolio remembered to safeguard the portfolio the one that's mostly noncore leading to equities ... after doing all this research talking the managers economists and everything else ... we came up with his great idea ... we decided to be patient ... in a really hard to do is really hard to explain the clients ... we went extremely short ... almost to a cash position on our ... onside when not in the yield curve so using some high yield right now we still feel that's a good play ... for being very patient not trying to force ourselves into ... anywhere ... for not trying to follow the herd ... into a lot of the vehicles are out there like floating rate at this moment ... so we're being patient ... going to stay patient ... I think they'll serve our clients baths and the ideas and short-term bonds won't get hit quite as hard as interest rates rise you can just turn him over into higher yielding bonds ... absolutely so we want and not have any risk owner bonds right now possible when one be hit by rising interest rates could cause more but ... it's ... now what are you doing on the equity side of things I you mentioned that ... for those people who've ... been out of this wonderful bull market you think you know what some of them I'd be inclined to do with it the market keeps on going up ... yet he also usually most of our clients ninety percent are either ... sixty five percent in equities are seventy percent in equities somewhere in that range we don't have the Hunter percent equity portfolios ... in that we're going a little bit more aggressive so you were sixty percent equity holder to make the going up to seventy percent right now ... not because we think equities are going to be unbelievably great but they're just too much risk on the buy side and we need a little bit more return we think that's the safer one ... and what kind of stocks to a light jog and small large does it get dinner we tend to follow modern portfolio theory ... and so we like large medium and small wee wee overweighting a little bit of large now does a lot of cash on the sidelines lot people put their money on two thousandnine ... they're saying no cheese maybe the world isn't on the party need to get back in ... and our belief is when they come back and ... they're gonna look it up big as SIFIs blue chip companies to start with ... and that we get to be smart enough ... to find a way to transition more down into mid and small one that takes place thanks for much of my pleasure ...

Introduction to Field DayField Day is perhaps the biggest event on the ham radio calendar each year. Thousands of clubs and tens of thousands of hams will participate in this one weekends activies (for more information about Field Day, see the What is Field Day sidebar).
Field Day 2002 will be from June 21 through June 23, 2002 (always the 4th full weekend in June).
[Site Map - 45K PNG image]
The site is only 20 minutes drive from the intersection of highways 17 and 85. Please use our map to the Field Day site for reference. For talk in, use the clubs two meter repeater while in the valley. When out of repeater range, use the output frequecy (147.39 MHz) as a simplex freqency.
For Field Day 2002, please take note of these important times!
What Can You Do?
So what can you do at Field Day? Plenty! And visitors are welcome. WVARA has found that having as large a Field Day as possible gives the maximum ammount of people a chance to participate in the event. No matter what you do whether it is something mainstream such as HF or VHF operation or something more rare such as digital communications or satellite work, there is a place for you. Even if all you want to do is to pitch in and help to set the stations up or just take a look around and watch what is happening you will be welcome at any Field Day site.
WVARA has also found that with a large site we can compete for a good score in the contest. In the last few years, WVARA has finished as one of the top clubs in the nation. Will you help us capture first place this year?
What to BringIf you're just visiting for the day or the Saturday barbeque, bring:
Station coordinators have already gotten their checklists on the FD-L mail list. For reference for future years, they are
Radio Stations at Field DayOne other important aspect of Field Day is that hams can operate on modes and bands that they can't normally use. Hams that have HF privledges often act as control operators at their stations allowing those without HF privledges to operate on the HF bands. Many a new ham has gotten their first taste of HF operating at Field Day. For more information, see the How to Contest sidebar.
Here is a list of who are the Field Day Band Captains (station coordinators) for 2002. If you wish to volunteer to help with their station, please send e-mail to "Their Call"@WVARA.ORG or contact the Field Day Coordinators. Our current planning scenario for 2002 is a "twenty two alpha" site. (22A contest category, meaning 22 transmitters all on emergency power)

What is Field Day?
That's a good question, and if you asked ten hams, you would probably get ten different answers. Some would say that Field Day is a contest, others would say that it is an emergency preparedness exercise, still others would say that it is a party and yet others would say that it is a public relations exercise. Who is right? They all are! Field Day is all of those things and more. The best description anyone can find is that Field Day is all of ham radio in one weekend!
During Field Day, ham radio clubs, groups and individuals take to the field in simulated emergency conditions (living in tents and running on generators and batteries). They are given 24 hours to set up as many stations as they are able. In the next 24 hours they are try to make as many contacts as they can with those stations. All aspects of ham radio are used in this pursuit. More than a million contacts will be made on HF and VHF, CW, SSB and digital modes this weekend. Bonus points are awarded for making an extra effort such as making contacts via satellites or sending and receiving message traffic.
Field Day isn't just about radio though. Clubs use this biggest of all yearly events for many other activities. With much of the clubs membership assembled it is a natural time for BBQ's and other gatherings. Also with all of ham radio on display this weekend it is a choice time to show off what we do best. The media and government officials are invited to attend to view what ham radio can do.
As you can see, Field Day is indeed all of ham radio in one weekend and anyone that attends their first Field Day rarely misses one again!
How to Contest
While Field Day isn't strictly a contest, that is how the entrants are rated and why not? A contest is a great way to evaluate a stations performance. It is also a great way to simulate message handling which will be a big part of any response to an emergency.
So what is a contest? Put most simply, in a contest the objective is to make as many contacts in as many places as possible in a prescribed ammount of time. For Field Day, the objective is simply to make as many contacts as possible in the 24 hours you are alloted. To make those contacts valid, you have to exchange a certain ammount of information. The "exchange" for Field Day is your entry class (number of transmitters) and your ARRL section.
So how do you go about making these contacts? Just as you would for any other QSO in amateur radio, there are only two ways to initiate a conversation. You either have to answer someone who is calling CQ or call CQ yourself and wait for someone to answer you. Which method is better? It is generally accepted that staying in one place, calling CQ and letting the other stations come to you is quicker and less tiring. However, this only works if you have a signal that is loud enough to attract other stations. If you aren't making any contacts or aren't making them fast enough, you are forced to switch to the search and pounce method. Excelent operators can rack up the QSOs almost as fast this way. Which ever method you employ, a Field Day contact sounds like this:
CQ Field Day CQ Field Day this is K6PUD Kilo Six Papa Uniform Delta calling CQ Field Day and listening.All that is left is to record the contact on your log sheet and get ready for the next contact.
Obviously because of the variability of radio propagation and other factors, many contacts aren't this neat and clean. This is especially true when multiple people are calling you or you are getting interference from another station, but learning to deal with these conditions are part of the lure and purpose of Field Day!

England took two wickets before lunch as they scented a chance of victory on the final day of their warm-up match against a New Zealand XI at the Queenstown Event Centre ground.
Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes were successful - once each - after England declared on their overnight 256 for nine and therefore set their hosts 334 to win in a minimum 90 overs.
After 27 of those, all results were still feasible with the total on 87 for two.
While Hamish Rutherford and Tom Latham were posting their second opening stand of 56 in this match, at four an over, the signs were not especially favourable for the tourists.
Under cloud cover which provided handy conditions for Broad and Graham Onions with the new ball, they made no immediate headway.
Rutherford even climbed into an upper-cut which deposited a short ball from Broad high over point and into the enclosure in front of the players' pavilion for six.
Soon afterwards, Broad hit the same batsman on the head with a sharp bouncer.
But it was first-change Woakes who made the breakthrough when Rutherford cut him into the hands of point.
Woakes was rewarded for a much-improved spell from his first-innings efforts, and Broad also put himself in the wickets column in the next over when he switched to a fuller length and bowled a static Carl Cachopa for a third-ball duck.
The more expensive Onions looked a more likely wicket-taker too than he had first time round, but no one could find a way past Latham or Neil Broom up to lunch.

About the Creator
I have always had a passion for superhero comic books and creative writing, so I've combined these passions to create a series of what I have called 'Nomic's' (half novel, half comic). These short story's began life as a bit of fun to be shared amongst my friends, who all the characters are loosely based upon. There was only ever supposed to be one book, however it got such good reviews and I now enjoy writing them so much I can't stop. Now I have published the first five I hope they bring as much enjoyment to others as they have to me...

The year 2013 has been characterized by stock prices hitting all-time highs throughout the year. As a result, many dividend investors hold shares of quality companies where rising prices have pushed yields below their minimum yield criteria. The question on the minds of most investors is whether it would make sense to sell these companies, and purchase shares of other quality dividend stocks that have higher yields.
Let's walk through the example of selling a company that grows dividends at a high rate, but currently yields 2%. That could be Becton Dickinson (BDX) or Colgate Palmolive (CL). For the sake of walking through the example, let's assume that the funds will be invested in Consolidated Edison (ED), which is a higher yielding electric utility.
When a dividend investor sells their shares at a gain, they have to pay taxes on the profit. Depending on the length of time the shares were held for, the gain could be taxed as ordinary income or at more preferential capital gains taxes. Either way, when you sell appreciated stock and pay taxes, you are left with a lower amount of capital to reinvest.
The other factor to take into account is not only the current yield, but realistic growth projections as well. If you sell a perfectly good quality company that you are well familiar with, simply because current yields are a little low, and you purchase shares in a company which might or might not perform as well as the first company, you just create reinvestment risk.
If you sell Becton Dickinson that yields 2%, and buy Consolidated Edison that yields twice as much, you double your current yield and dividend income. However, you will be missing out on future dividend growth, and thus your dividend income might lose purchasing power over time. Over the past five years, Becton Dickinson has grown dividends by 13.50% per year, while Con Edison has boosted them by about 1% per annum.
If Becton Dickinson increases dividends by 10% per year for the next 14 years however, a $1000 investment in the stock today could generate $80 in annual dividend income. With Con Edison, a $1000 investment today will likely generate less than $50 in annual dividend income. The caveat is that future growth is uncertain however, but so is the sustainability of high current yields.
The next factor you have to take into account is your investment horizon. Your investment timeframe should be 20-30 years. Even if you are 60-70 years old today, you might still have to plan for a 20-30 years of retirement. You don't want to chase yields today by buying stocks solely based off yield. These might not maintain purchasing power or might offer a higher risk of a dividend cut or freeze. This would downgrade your standard of living in the last part of your retirement, when you are less likely to be able to cover the shortfall by finding and holding a job.
Even if you sold Becton Dickinson and bought something else like Chevron (CVX), you are still taking a reinvestment risk. The risk is that in 10-15 years, the amount of dividends that Becton Dickinson's will pay will be higher than the dividends that Chevron will pay. This could happen if Becton Dickinson increases dividends faster than Chevron during that time period. Further, if oil prices fall in 5 years, Chevron might not even increase dividends at all.
Your goal is to avoid situations where you are essentially compounding mistakes. When all is set and done in 20 years, do you think you would be better off doing nothing or selling and buying something else? If you sold a perfectly good dividend grower, that grew earnings and dividends like clockwork, you paid a tax on gains. This provided you with less money to invest than in the first place. You then purchased shares in a company where you don't know if the dividend income from this position would be higher or lower than the dividend income from the original position in 20 – 30 years.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
worked at a restaurant for a week. never signed employee contract, never issued handbook or policies, never trained. was told id be salaried cuz they hate overtime pay. i accepted. thesalary figure was never discussed. i messed up one morning and was late. another mngr threatened violence at me. i left. came back mins later cuz i needed job and wanted to work. again, threats. i left and called owner to say i didnt wanna walk out. she didnt return call for hrs saying my performance and leaving cost her money. never addressed threats. said i was now unemployed but if i got my "act" together shed consider rehiring cuz im good at what i do...bc i allowed the salary thing to happen what should my final check be? minimum wage probably and is this legal as an at will employment termination
Yes, you were legally terminated as an "at will" employee.
The information provided in this answer does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you are interested in his legal services, feel free to call Chris at (303) 409-7635 at his law office in the Denver Tech Center. All initial consultations are free of charge.Ask a similar question
Concurring with Mr. Leroi -- please remember that Colorado is an "at will" employment state which means that unless you have a written employment contract for a term or some sort of writing that can reasonably be interpreted to reflect that your employment relationship is something other than "at will" the relationship may be terminated by either party, with or without cause, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason at all. That said, it does seem that the compensation 'structure' of your arrangement and the comment concerning salary and the employer not 'liking' overtime may be a potential issue in that the Fair Labor Standards Act outlines the terms under which employees may be classified as Exempt versus Non Exempt (OT eligible). Yours does not sound to me (without knowing enough to advise) like an Exempt (i.e. salaried) position. So, I suspect that your employer may not be acting in proper accordance with the dictates of the FLSA. However, the ultimate question -- for you -- will one of damages which is to say that even assuming that you were improperly classified and terminated (with or without cause, properly) how many hours did you work beyond 40 in the time that ou were there?
To the extent that you believe you have an action worth pursuing you can certainly send a letter directly to your former employer, you can call the CO DOL directly and discuss the situation with them. You can certainly reach out to any number of attorneys as well.
Good luck!

since I lived in TX. Anyone know for sure? Looks like hubby moved my map.
My CLINE's were at one time in Baylor County near Wichita Falls and they
married into my YOUNG's, so they may have been in that area of TX too.
Little town called Seymour.
Willing to check for Jim YATES anywhere!

Volume 13, Issue 5: Thema
Nathan Wilson
The current Christian found wandering aimlessly about our city streets has no sense of apologetics. He, when stopped outside the bowling alley where he plays pinball sometimes, will give an account for his faith with some weak "works for me," or if he is a sophisticated evangelical, he will give his questioner an "I've found love and acceptance, and so could you." We in the Reformed world have often griped about such lackluster apologies for the Christian faith. We have also tried, generally speaking, to avoid another evangelical error, the error displayed by many evangelical champions.

Cameron Diaz Is a Busy Body
Cameron Diaz sure seems to be getting around lately.
Yesterday it was reported that the What Happens in Vegas actress had been seen canoodling with rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs at funkmeister Prince's compound last week.
Now, Us has revealed that Diaz was seen at Santa Monica eatery Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi on Sunday with model and former Jennifer Aniston beau Paul Sculfor.
"Cameron was laughing at everything he said—she didn't stop smiling," an observer told the magazine. "She was really flirty and had three or four of her buttons undone."
So, what gives? Is the Cameron-Diddy hookup a hoax? Is she just trying to make Diddy jealous? Or is this her payback at Aniston, who has recently been dating Cameron's former flame, singer John Mayer?
Of course, it's possible Diaz is just a good-time gal. It's no secret that since splitting with longtime beau Justin Timberlake, she's been on a manhunt. "I'm a woman. Of course I'm dating. Are you kidding?" Cam declared in a recent interview. "I love men. Sex is the best!"
Well, clearly. This is the same woman, after all, who was spotted on a restaurant date several years ago, her hair adorned by a smear of ejaculate.
Oh, wait, that was for a movie. Even so…

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
My name isXXXXX've professionally worked with animals for over 16 years dealing with both health and behavioral issues. I have over 14,000 satisfied customers. It will be my pleasure to work with you today.
I need to ask for some additional information. Once I receive your responses, it will likely take 30-40 minutes to type my response. I hope you can be patient.
Is she eating or not?
Is she defecating normally?
What was in the vomit?
Did it smell like fecal matter?
Is she responsive?
Are her gums pink like normal or pale?
Are her gums moist or tacky?
Was there spoiled food in the garbage or more plastic and paper items?
does she ingest non food items? .
Thanks for the additional information. It is helpful. The first thing you need to do is put a drop or two of karo syrup or pancake syrup on her tongue to get her blood sugar levels back up. Any time a small dogs stops eating, they can develop hypoglycemia which may be what is happening here. you can read about hypoglycemia here:
While dogs are more able to eat food that is turned, they can still develop food poisoning. You can read more on food poisoning here:
The soft stool could be from the ingestion of the trash, but the vomiting of bile is usually due to not eating or excess bile. It could be from the ingestion of bad food as well. It can lead to dehydration. You can check this by lifting the skin between your dog's shoulder blades and if it stays tented or is slow to return to normal position, your dog is dehydrated and needs to be seen by your Vet so fluids can be given.
You might try having fasting her for 6-12 hours to give the gastrointestinal tract time to rest. Then you would feed a small portion of bland food such as boiled chicken and rice. . If they keep that down then slowly increase amount and frequency. You might also try some pepcid about 45 minutes before feeding. Read about Pepcid dosages and usage information here:
Now if she has already been not eating for 12 hours, I'd try giving the syrup, and pepcid. Allow that 45 minutes or so to work and then offer some boiled chicken and rice. Only offer a small amount and then wait to see if she keeps it down. If she does, then you can offer a little more every half hour or so for a couple of hours. If she does well, then you can gradually switch her back over to her normal food.
If you can not get her eating again, or she starts vomiting up the food and continues with diarrhea OR is unable to defecate, you will want to have her seen. If she actually ingested a non food item, she might stop eating, would likely have vomiting and an inability to defecate which would indicate an intestinal obstruction. You can read about this below.
I hope this information is helpful to you. If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don't hesitate to press the reply to expert or continue conversation button so I can address any issues you still have .
If you have questions in the future that you wish me to answer, you may click here and bookmark the page or make it a favorite. It is best to put my name "JANE" in the question as well. Please recommend me to your friends and family members if they have any problems with their dog as well. I would truly appreciate it.
Since there have been recalls on certain foods, please check the following site to be sure the food your animals eat is not affected. If it is affected, contact your vet as soon as possible. Have your dog seen if they have any symptoms. http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWithdrawals/
