Using Microsoft Office as a Front-end
Using CodeFluent Entities you can generate synchronizable lists which lets you use Microsoft Office Excel (2003 and above) and Microsoft Office Access (2007 and above) as front-end clients of your application. This feature was actually already discussed in this post: Introduction to SharePoint Lists, but we'll digg a bit further today :).As a reminder the global architecture is illustrated in the following figure:
Before creating the solution, let's see what the user interface will look like:
Let's create the solutionWe'll create 4 projects:
- A CodeFluent Entities Model project
- A Class Library project to store the Business Object Model
- A Database project for the data
- An empty WebForm project to host the web site and some special web services
We can add some entities to the model:
Note : there should be only one key (not a composite one) of type Int (or aliases like integer, int32, etc.), with identity (automatic numbering) for the entity to support two-ways synchronization with Office apps, so don't use Guid or anything else.Now, let's also add two computed properties: FullName and Age, and let's configure the following producers:
- The SQL Server Producer
- The Business Object Model (C#) Producer
- The Office Producer: "Physical Root Path" and "Target directory" must be set to the web project
Now we can build the model. After that, the last thing to do for the synchronization magic to happen is to add a special component that emulates a SharePoint website to our ASP.NET generated web site. We used to provide an ISAPI filter for this, but starting with II7, we now provide a .NET HttpModule class that does the job. So you just need to add the following piece of configuration in the web.config file for this to work:
<system.webServer> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> <add name="WssEmulator" type="CodeFluent.Runtime.Web.WssEmulator" /> </modules> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" /> </system.webServer>
Working with Microsoft AccessOpen Access and create a new blank database. Select SharePoint List from the External Data tab:
Enter the root URL of your CodeFluent Entities generated "Office" website. Access will then show a list of available lists. Now, choose the list(s) you want to link to.
Now you can open and edit your data directly from Access:
Or maybe you would prefer to fill data in an automatically generated form?
Now let's to do the same thing with Microsoft Excel! 🙂
Working with Microsoft ExcelTo open a list in Excel you need an .IQY file. This "internet query" file format us used by Microsoft Excel to run queries over HTTP(S). CodeFluent Entities generates a web page that contains all available lists and allows Excel to download the associated .IQY file. Launch the web project and navigate to http://localhost/en-us/lists.aspx:
Note that you can also generate .IQY files by using the template located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\SoftFluent\CodeFluent\Modeler\Templates\OfficeServiceHost\ClientIqy" directory, created by the CodeFluent Entities installation.
Select one of them to open your list in Microsoft Excel:
If you are using Excel 2007 or above you want to read this article: Restoring Two-Way Synchronization on SharePoint Lists Using Excel.
Points of interest
- Enumerations and relations are selectable through a drop-down list (relations show the property defined as the display property of the related entity)
- By default, relations (drop-down lists in Excel) load all values from the related entity. You can change that by setting the loadMethodName attribute cfpo:loadMethodName="LoadMethodCustom"
- Supports data validation. Excel or Access ensures that values are valid for a given type. For example you can't write a string into an integer defined column.
- Supports CodeFluent Entities blob-type columns. They will be displayed as hyperlink in Excel. Click on one of them to download the related file/blob.
- Supports rich text as HTML. For example if you set a cell value to test (bold), the column cell will contain Test
- Supports Read-only columns (by setting the property Is Read Only to true in the model)
- Supports HTTP and HTTPS
- Supports authentication (NTLM, Kerberos, basic authentication with an extra CodeFluent Entities provided module)
- Supports offline work. Excel can save the data even if the network is unavailable.
- Create different views of the same Entity, for example one for editing data and another one for viewing data. In the first one you can set FirstName, LastName and Date of birth. In the second one, you may prefer showing the full name and the age (you could use computed properties in this case).
- Add parameters to your lists
LOAD(string name) WHERE FirstName STARTSWITH @name OR LastName STARTSWITH @name
An Excel standard dialog box will prompt you for defined parameters when you open the list from Excel. This is a nice way to filter the list. Note in this mode the list is not updatable, just read-only.
CodeFluent Entities provides out-of-the box a user friendly way to view and edit data.
Don't forget that in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, 2010 & 2013, the ability to update the data in SharePoint lists directly from Excel is somehow deprecated. Nevertheless, you should look at SharePoint List Synchronizer to address this issue and restore this two-way sync functionality.
Happy synchronizing!
The R&D team.

Introduction to SharePoint Lists
Starting with Office 2003, Microsoft introduced SharePoint Lists which allow Office client application such as Excel to manipulate lists of data provided by SharePoint. This way users can keep information in their Excel/Access tables synchronized with a list hosted on the SharePoint site. This feature is available for Excel 2003+ and Access 2007+.
CodeFluent Entities can generate Web Services – which can be hosted in IIS or WCF – which emulate a SharePoint server so that Excel and/or Access can be used to edit your data. Since it leverages a Microsoft Office built-in feature, it does not require any deployment on user's machines. The global architecture is illustrated in the following figure:
As shown in the figure above, using the generated lists does not require SharePoint at all, it only emulates SharePoint as Office applications such as Excel and Access were built to consume Lists hosted in SharePoint. From a developer's perspective, all server components from the data tier to the web services can be generated by CodeFluent Entities. By default each entity has a list per load method (e.g. LoadAll). Moreover, you can design extra lists by adding views on your entity. By the way, the generated classes are public partial classes, so if you need to create some very specific list, you can always write it yourself without having your code overwritten on a following generation.
Finally, since your generated lists use the business objet model to manipulate data, your business logic is still applied.
In a nutshell, generating Office synchronizable lists for Excel and Access enables end-users to edit and manipulate massive amounts of data in a familiar UI. End-users will benefit from advanced features such as Excel's filters, sorting and pivot tables or Access' Form View. Furthermore, it's all based on a built-in feature which does not require to deploy any component on the client side, nor to actually have SharePoint on the server.

Review: Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Tires
There has been a fair amount of discussion on this forum and others regarding the run-flat tires BMW specifies on most of its current range. Like most, I didnt care for their high replacement cost ($1600 plus shipping/mounting/balancing from the Tire Rack) and stiff ride. Wanting an all season high performance tire, I found my choices when I purchased limited to one the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. Having now put a few thousand miles on a set, I can offer a reasonably informed review.
I got about 22k miles out of the rear OEM Bridgestones, and right at 30k from the fronts. Judging by the wear on the rear Michelins, I think they will last about the same somewhat disappointing given that the OEM tires had a 140 UTQG rating and the Michelins are 500. In fairness, my experience has been that tire wear is much more a function of driving style than anything else.
I am generally pretty sensitive to performance differences in tires steering precision, grip, etc. However, in this case I have to say that the Michelins, in aggressive street driving, feel little different from the OEM rubber. In particular, I dont feel any meaningful difference in ride quality. Thinking about it, its likely that the extreme low profile of the Sport package tires means that the sidewalls have to be stiff, run-flat or no.
With regard to the risk of having a flat, I did purchase the BMW M Mobility kit. However, I have not had a flat with either the OEM or current tires, so I cant comment on any issues that might arise with either type of tire.
In sum, the main thing recommending these tires over OEM is their price (about $1200 plus shipping/mounting/balancing). Since there is now another all season high performance choice for our cars (the Continental ExtremeContact DWS) that is even cheaper (about $900 a set) and has been well reviewed, I will probably give those a try when the Michelins wear out.

Previous BMWs:

2000 328Ci
1997 328is
Thanks for the review. My experience with the Continental Extreme Contact tire with my E39 540 soured me on them in general -- the flatspotting was horrible and I finally returned the tires - I couldn't take it any more.
Now these tires might be a new generation of the compound, but with such a heavy car (relatively) I would hold off on the continentals until we see how they play out in the market - at least for our e63's...
I was fortunate enough to find my chrome eppy wheels on Craigslist with a brand new set of run-flats along with a second complete set of run-flats for $800. When I bought the car a few months ago, it also had a brand new set on. With 3 sets of run-flats, I think they will outlast the car lol.

Nice catch! From the mist and the clear sky, it looks like it must've been really cold, ~-25, and yet the water is liquid, even partially in the puddles not streaming. Any recollection on the temp at the time?
It's so beautiful and pure. It's still summer here, but even when it's winter, we don't get nearly as beautiful sights. Finland seems like such a wonderful land.
it is so nice to see your photographs again, they are more beautiful then ever.

The victory was Northwestern's first over Ohio State (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) since 1971, snapping the Buckeyes' 24-game winning streak in the series and handing them their first loss in Evanston since 1958.
"Thirty-four years was long enough," said Northwestern coach Randy Walker, an Ohio native.
After Herron broke through the Buckeyes at the goal line, the Wildcats (2-3, 1-1) piled on him in the corner of the end zone and Northwestern students ran onto the field, turning it into a purple mosh pit. Students partied on the field for about 15 minutes, and several students climbed on the north goal post, trying to bring it down. They were unsuccessful, but that hardly put a damper on the party.
It was Northwestern's first victory over a top-10 team since beating then-No. 7 Wisconsin in double overtime in Madison on Sept. 23, 2000.
"I wouldn't have requested to be at the end of (the streak)," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "But we are. Unfortunately, that's the case. We have to start trying to get better, starting tomorrow."
Ohio State has made it a habit of pulling out the close wins, winning 13 of its last 15 games that were decided by seven points or less. The Buckeyes beat Marshall earlier this season on Mike Nugent's field goal as time expired, and Nugent tied a school record with five field goals to beat North Carolina State two weeks ago.
It looked as if the Buckeyes' luck might hold again Saturday after they rallied to score 10 points in the final nine minutes and force overtime. But the normally automatic Nugent misfired, with his 40-yard field-goal attempt sailing wide right on the first overtime possession.
"It was probably one of the best balls I hit tonight," Nugent said. "I thought it was going to be dead-center."
Instead, the Wildcats got a second chance to put the Buckeyes away and they made the most of it. On the second play, quarterback Brett Basanez scrambled to the left and up the sideline for a 21-yard gain. Two plays later, Herron bulldozed his way into the end zone for the winning score, setting off pandemonium at the stadium.
Herron ran for 113 yards, rushed for two 1-yard scores and also caught a 12-yard TD pass. Mark Philmore had 134 yards receiving and a touchdown, the first of his career. Brett Basanez was 24-of-44 for 278 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Ohio State's offense had another shaky night, not finding its groove until the fourth quarter. Justin Zwick was 18-of-38 for 211 yards, but 90 yards came in the final period. Santonio Holmes had 99 yards receiving and a score.
But the Buckeyes had just 97 yards rushing. Lydell Ross had 31 yards on 11 carries.
Northwestern defensive tackle Luis Castillo had set bulletin boards aflame all over Columbus earlier in the week when he said Ohio State had a "mediocre" offense. And Philmore — an Ohio native — said the Buckeyes were "kids just like you out there."
The Wildcats showed they can do more than yap, though, controlling the game almost the entire night. They outgained the Buckeyes 444-308, and the defense came up with big plays time and again in the final quarter.
But there's a reason the Buckeyes are one of the country's top teams. They rallied in the fourth quarter, with Zwick moving them to the Northwestern 4 on their first drive. On third-and-goal, though, Nick Roach and John Pickens swarmed Zwick, taking him down for a 7-yard loss and forcing Ohio State to settle for Nugent's 29-yard field goal. The Buckeyes' defense gave Zwick another chance when linebacker Bobby Carpenter picked off Basanez's pass at the Northwestern 28 and returned it 6 yards.
Zwick connected with Bam Childress on a 15-yard pass, putting Ohio State at the Northwestern 4. But Antonio Pittman was stopped for a 3-yard loss, and Pickens chased Zwick deep into the backfield, sacking him for a 13-yard loss on second down.
Jeff Backes then picked off what would have been the game-tying pass, intercepting Zwick in the end zone.
But the Buckeyes finally got it right on their third try. Moving 69 yards in just five plays and 90 seconds, Zwick rushed for 18 yards, then had completions of 11 yards and 19 yards before finding Holmes deep in the end zone for the 21-yard score to force overtime.
"I thought we had it," offensive tackle Rob Sims said. "Around here we just feel when it's close like that, we feel like we can pull it out. I guess today we were wrong."

This jam from Fat Freddy's Drop is a total panty-dropper.
A man doesn't really need much to score -- ample amounts of self-confidence, clean sheets, and fresh breath usually do the trick fairly well. But everyone always needs that ace in the hole, the little thing that lights the spark, that sets the mood, that one song that unequivocally states We did not come back here to watch the television.
"Flashback" is that song. A six-and-a-half minute slab of sex on a platter that slinks from slow-moving soul into funky horn harmonies that will have to freaking it on the living room floor. (Yes, it's that good.)
And unlike those classic, yet clichéd booty songs like "Sexual Healing" -- she'll never see this one coming. The track is off Based on a True Story, the first stateside release from Fat Freddy's Drop, a seven-man jam band from New Zealand that blends soul, ska, funk and dub into an award-winning package. Indeed, Fat Freddy's shelf must be sagging from all the hardware the band has taken home in the last few years. Based on a True Story, which was already released globally a couple years back, went seven times platinum in New Zealand and earned Worldwide Album of the Year honors from Radio 1's Gilles Peterson in 2005.
See? Everyone else is doing it. Millions of people can't be wrong.
This song is no longer available. Please visit Fat Freddy's Drop's Website.

Ted ConnollyPhotographer Male Havana, Illinois, US
My Website: Ted Connolly Photography
Mayhem # 2562490
About MeI remember my fascination with cameras and taking pictures even during my early childhood. Somehow I got my hands on an old Kodak Brownie 127 Box camera, which was my most cherished possession. When one of my photos was published in my hometown newspaper, this eight-year-old kid was hooked. If my career was not born at that time, then its conception had certainly just occurred. My love of photography has never changed since those early years. Photography has taken me all over this old world of ours working with lots of very interesting people and businesses throughout the many years since that very first published photo.
I have been lucky enough in my life to work with a lot of great people and companies. I have always believed that people should not be judged and definitely not judge themselves on what they have done or what they have. Sure I am proud of my accomplishments over the last 50 years of my life but you can't live on what you did in the past, I strongly believe that it is what you do today and tomorrow is what defines who we are.
So to answer your question, "Who is Ted Connolly?" Just a guy who would rather not be known as a guy who did this or that, or a guy who owns this or that, or a guy who's rich monetarily; I would much rather just be the guy who will do his best to do something today and tomorrow the best he possibly can regardless of the odds or conditions.

Oops! Another star just happened to tweet a photo of herself topless.
Alison Pill, 26, who just finished up Season One of HBO's The Newsroom, acknowledged that she shared a shot of herself wearing glasses, but no shirt, lying on a bed.
"Yep. That picture happened," Pill tweeted on Wednesday - it was all captured by Gawker (NSFW).
And then she said she was sorry.
"Ugh. My tech issues have now reached new heights, apparently. How a deletion turned into a tweet... Apologies."
Pill's fiance, Jay Baruchel of How to Train Your Dragon, took it all in stride and certainly didn't freak out about it. Instead, he tweeted: "My fiancee is an hilarious dork."
By Wednesday afternoon, Pill had added about 2,000 new Twitter followers, as fans championed her honesty instead of blaming cellphone hackers.

When Jack Norworth penned the tune, "Take me out to the ballgame," I wonder if he pictured a little league set of 11 year olds; mouths stuffed with Big League Chew, black out under their eyes and grass stains on white baseball pants?
Like a lot of you, our spring and summer months are packed full of sports. When my oldest started playing ball, I wasn't prepared for how much time we would spend eating ballpark faire like hot dogs, hamburgers and sunflower seeds.
Before getting into what's going on in Wilson County this week I would like to first start off with saying, THANK YOU! Thank you to our readers, advertisers and members of the community who allow Wilson Living to share their stories. We always wonder as each issue hits whether readers will enjoy what they're seeing. As subscriptions have been pouring in and our website inundated with inquiries you answered with a resounding, YES!
Hear ye, hear ye! The FIRST of this summer's blockbuster movies has arrived! "Iron Man 2," the sequel to 2008's surprise summer hit, "Iron Man," opened across the country this past weekend. For those who just could NOT wait, the Roxy actually had a special midnight showing Thursday night. "Iron Man 2" continues where the first one left off, beginning by replaying the "breaking news" conference where gazillionaire Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) announced to the world that HE IS, in fact, Iron Man. Downey Jr., one of Hollywood's most gifted actors who hopefully has won in his long and well-chronicled personal battle over drug addiction, once again is spot-on playing the super-intelligent, yet supremely egotistical head of Stark Industries. At one point in the movie he boldly states in front of a Senate hearing (and to the world) that HE ALONE has helped the world have prolonged peace.
What we read in print we tend to believe.
With that thought in mind, let's hear it from the icons of Fashion, Image, and Beauty. The question was, "How do you define Beauty?"
This may surprise you, as it did me, at the comments, not necessarily the products that they feel make you beautiful.

In the murky depths of Beard's Lake, hidden beyond the sight of those soaking their lines in its spring-fed waters, lurk giant catfish.
How big?
In 2008, a local fisherman hauled out one weighing 72 pounds. Less than a month ago, an angler wrestled out two catfish that combined tipped the scales at 120 pounds. And there is talk of a leviathan in these waters that tops 100 pounds.
About a year ago I read a review on a novel called Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. They both write alone but together have done a series they call the Pendergast novels. I bought it, read it and was so intrigued I also got The Wheel of Darkness. At the back of this book they listed the series of nine books in order – a wonderful idea. I immediately ordered the first two.
Their protagonist is FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast – a brilliant, classically educated, independently wealthy and most eccentric New Orleans gentleman who rides around in a chauffeured Rolls Royce seemingly taking whatever cases tweak his fancy!

Is there such a thing as a subject of an infinitive? This came up in a grammar discussion with my grandmother. She says yes, and I say maybe not. Appreciate your telling us something about this. People I've asked just look at me like goofs, like I've really lost it this time!
-Teen Guy with Grammar Grandma
P.S. Grandma wants me to check on what case a subject of an infinitive would be in, if it exists? I added that last part!
The answer is yes, there is such a thing as the subject of an infinitive. More on this truth on down the column.

Some people follow what many consider the natural progression of life: high school, graduate, college, graduate, career, retire, die.
But in all actuality, the people who follow that progression have become the minority. With technical schools, specialized training and abundant career changes in life, most people do not follow that perceived progression, and for others, that blueprint isn't best for them.

And so Iphinoe came to the minyae; and they asked with what intent she had come among them.
The minyae were expelled by a Pelasgian tribe who came from Attica.
The Greeks who accompanied him were, like himself, natives of Thera, and descended partly from the race of the minyae.

So it's really Rivera we should blame, because even as bad as McDermott is (he didn't do too much in Philadelphia), Rivera is obviously calling the shots.

We stayed in the 4 bed apartment in late August with our 4 children. Maria (owner) and son (Antonio) did a marvellous job
aking us feel very welcome. If you want to experience the vineyards and get away from the noise, this is the place for you.
Yes, you need to be prepared to walk 30 minutes to the shops and 45 minutes to Sorrento. Marvellous views from the balcony
over the bay to Capri. This is perhaps the cleanest and best presented apartment we have experienced in Italy. Nothing is
a problem for Maria. A great place for a couple of nights.

Mirage Signs Missouri University
Mirage Networks, an Austin-based manufacturer of security devices that limit and secure access to computer networks, revealed this morning that a Missouri liberal arts university has chosen to safeguard its residential network with a Mirage solution. The financial impact of the customer win was not disclosed. Mirage identified its new client as William Woods University of Fulton, a small town in central Missouri. According to Mirage, the university first gave a competing solution from Cisco Systems a two-year run before adopting Mirage's network access control device. Mirage added that William Woods plans to expand the NAC deployment to its faculty and staff networks next year.

     system settings -> appearance -> splash screen: there is no preview available for hubble

system settings -> accessibility -> text-to-speech -> general: enable option is greyed out and screen indicates that kttsd is not running. However, kttsd starts if I manually start this module with kdesu kcmshell4 kcmkttsd and click the enable box.

both festival and festival lite crash when you click Test to test the voice; both work (sort of) in the Jobs tab of text-to-speech. The speech is somewhat garbled and only catches half of each sentence, but this is on an old text box (will try again next week on newer hardware). Would be great if someone with fairly recent hardware could test to see if they have any better luck (perhaps this is just resource intensive?)

Cheers,

Only the most recent version of an interface needs to be implemented. Other versions are handled by having thunks convert their parameters and call the root version.
Not all interface versions have thunks. Some versions could be combined
because their parameters were compatible. For example if a structure
changes but the structure has a
dwSize field, methods using that
structure are compatible, as long as the implementation remembers to take the
dwSize into account.
Interface thunks for Direct3D are more complicated since the paradigm changed between versions.

According to the American Pet Products Association, in 2012 U.S. households spent over 50 billion dollars on their pets. Since 1994, the amount of money spent on pets has increased every year, even during the economic recession. Investors that want a company that is solely a play on pet needs and supplies need look no further than PetSmart (NASDAQ:PETM). PetSmart was founded in 1997 in Phoenix, Arizona and is the largest North American supplier of pet needs.
During the course of 2012, PetSmart has outpaced the S&P 500 and is up $18.00 or 35% on a year to date basis. I have owned pets (mainly dogs and cats) most of my life and one of the many reasons I enjoy PetSmart is because it has a unique shopping experience. There are not many public places pet owners can bring their pets to and PetSmart always has its doors open for pet owners. Besides selling pet food and supplies PetSmart is also in the pet service industry with veterinary services in 802 of its stores, grooming and training services.
PetSmart is also in a unique competitive position since its direct competitors are local pet stores and its in-direct competitors are grocery stores, Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT). PetSmart holds competitive advantages over Wal-Mart, Target, and grocery stores because PetSmart offers an array of services and needs by people who are passionate and knowledgeable about pets. The big box retailers and grocery stores can mainly offer cheap pet food and supplies, but PetSmart has been able to increase its gross margins through an array of pet services. By offering services that other retailers don't participate in, PetSmart makes 4.6 times greater annual gross margin per customer.
With rising food prices that consumers have to face at the grocery store, pet food prices have also been increasing. Some of the main ingredients in pet food are corn, chicken and soybeans. The chart below is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that details the consumer price index for pets, pet products and services.
Since 2000 prices have been increasing for pet food/services and prices are expected to increase for 2013. Despite the price increases for pet food/services I don't believe pet owners will stop going to PetSmart and only buy the cheapest pet food on the market for the following reasons.
1) PetSmart is still outpacing the pet industry in growth and the pet products and services segment is expected to grow at a steady 3-5%
2) There have always been concerns on how the internet will impact PetSmart's pricing, but PetSmart's management team has constantly focused on services that the internet cannot have a competitive advantage in (grooming, vet services and bringing your pet to enjoy a shopping experience).
3) On the fundamental side PetSmart's management team has done a superior job at increasing return on invested capital, has increased year over year net sales and decreased short/long term debt since 2009, and has increased total cash.
4) On the technical side, with PetSmart at its 50-day moving average the stock has been good to investors as this has been a good buying point for investors.
5) PetSmart has earnings coming due on November 12, and since 2009 PetSmart has met or beat expectations with nine earnings surprises since 2009.
There have been concerns that PetSmart may be pricey for investors with a p/e ratio of 23 times earnings. But, if PetSmart continues to grow through its earnings and deliver increasing EBITDA, the price multiple should imply a multiple of 20 for 2013. PetSmart pays out a dividend of 0.66 or slightly under 1% and has increased its dividend since 2009. The 1% percent may not seem attractive, but for a company that's business is based solely on pets this is comparable with the industry average. Since the beginning of September PetSmart has pulled back slightly off its highs in the mid $70s range, and it appears the stock may take a breather since being up over 30 % this year.
In conclusion, Petsmart is a well-managed company that continues to deliver positive results for investors. Despite the big rise in the share price this year for PetSmart, I am still bullish on PetSmart, but would rather wait for a pullback in the mid 60's range before being a buyer. For investors that use options I would consider selling November $65 put for $1.40 In my opinion PetSmart is a niche retail play with few direct competitors and not showing any signs of slowing down.
Thanks for Reading and Good Luck.

I'm basically your average, every-day layabout. I'll work as long as I have to, but as soon as that's done you can find me just hanging out. I'm one of those crazy conservative-leaning church-goers, so if that's not your thing, then at least you don't have to keep reading on past this point.
I may come off as a strange person because of my slightly less-than-average life growing up. My family is close-knit, yet so sarcastic it borderlines sardonic. And I blame this entirely on my father, in both senses of the word. If you couldn't guess from that last sentence, my dad used to be a pastor, and had been since before he retired from the Army (I'm both an Army brat, and a Pastor's kid... what a combo, eh?).
More so, I decided to follow in his footsteps in the latter, serving my country with fervor and insanity... for six years. While I'm glad to for the opportunities granted to me, my service left me somewhat broken physically. I'm trying to build myself back to some type of 'fit' shape, but it's a slow process and I've still got a long way to go.
And, to top it all off, I'm back in school trying to earn a really expensive piece of paper that says I can sit in a classroom and 'learn' things... Great.
(In a nutshell: Political satire, Psychological Thrillers, Fantasy and Sci-Fi)
Movies/TV Shows: Fight Club, Spaceballs, Baseketball, Shaun of the Dead, Resident Evil, Family Guy, House M.D., Spongebob Squarepants, Freakazoid!
Music: Way too many to list! Imagine a lot of lesser-known bands that range from piano rock to borderline death metal. Just about anything other than country and rap/hip-hop. And every now and then I'll pull out the classics... like Bach or Haydn.
Food: Hu-Hot (Mongolian grill) and just about anything my mom makes...
My Family
Technology (Again, generally vague)
My Keurig (For with which, without, I would surely sleep forever)

Brussels (AFP) Jan 14, 2013
The EU's food safety agency challenged its doubters on Monday, making available all the scientific information used to clear a genetically modified corn which a French researcher had linked to cancer.
The European Food Safety Authority said that "given the level of public interest ... (it would) make all data on genetically modified (GM) maize NK603 publicly available on its website."
While EFSA had previously provided such information on request, "any member of the public or scientific community will now be able to examine and utilise the full data sets used in this risk assessment," it said in a statement.
EFSA, which reviews the use and authorisation of such crops and foodstuffs, in November rejected outright a report by Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen which had linked NK603 to cancer found in laboratory rats.
It said at the time that Seralini's work failed to meet "acceptable scientific standards" and accordingly it had no reason to review its assessment of NK603, made by US agri-food giant Monsanto.
The EU also demanded that Seralini release more details of his work but he responded in kind, calling on EFSA to open up its data first.
The EFSA said on Monday that the NK603 data was being made available as part of an initiative to make its overall workings more transparent.
"Risk assessment is an evolving science and EFSA is always willing to review its past work should new robust science bring a new perspective to any of the (its) previous findings," EFSA Executive Director Catherine Geslain-Laneelle said in a statement.
Monday's move "aims to make data used in risk assessment publicly available," Geslain-Laneelle said, by promoting research and working with scientists.
"This will make the conclusions of risk assessments even stronger when ensuring public health protection and further build confidence in EFSAs work."
Environmental groups have been very critical of the EFSA, saying it was not doing enough on its own to test GM foods and gave Monday's announcement a guarded welcome.
"This sounds like a positive initiative to shine some light on the secretive world of EU GM crop authorisations," said Greenpeace EU agriculture policy director Marco Contiero.
"So far, EFSA has only published information on one specific GM product. We expect that the same level of transparency will apply to all GM products that have been and will be submitted for EU approval," Contiero said in a statement.
"Confidential business information will continue to be kept secret, so it will be crucial to see how wide a definition EFSA will choose to use."

Hey I just had a thought. Ok, say the consistency error was not an error, and Tyler, being the perfectionist that he is, did, in fact, reconnect the wires. Now we have an active bomb in all of the buildings, but the one Jack and Marla are in has a timer delayed by the amount of time between Tyler and Jack's fight and Tyler's reconnecting of the wires.
Now at the end of the movie, the penis shows up right before the fade to black, indicating that Tyler's mark is still present.
Could this be an indication that Jack and Marla's building did, in fact, blow up after the film reel ends? It makes perfect sense, as the building's final detonation would have be a few minutes after the initial detonation of the first five or six buildings. And now that I think about it, in the CGI sequence at the beginning, the timer in the bullet-pierced van was counting down to zero, was it not?

WTF?! I don't trust Newgrounds picks anymore.
Not that I have a problem with homosexuals, but this is MESSED UP. I'm going to take the high road and ignore the gay sex(IMHO sex should never be put into cartoons, never mind flashes). The plot sounds half thought out, and it seems more like you just made an excuse to make some flash with gay sex in it to spark some flame wars or something.
I know, I'm not one to talk about flash quality, but I mean, who can then? So many people join here and comment yet they can't make flashes. Do you think movie critics are experts at making movies??
But it also ticks me off that people are just commenting immature crap and bashing gay people with no constructive feedback or anything to support themselves. WRITING GAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RATING A FLASH!
Anyways, the idea was screwed up spin on "What if I was the last man on earth?" The sound was clear(too clear), and the illustration wasn't half bad. It was just...disturbing. I just hope that your flash isn't tossed out for the wrong reasons.

even if it was a man and a woman it would still be crap not good enough for front page. not good graphics either.

Iowa leads in the race for 2012 Texas Wide Receiver Gerald Thomas but the deal hasn't been sealed.
"They're the top school on my list," Thomas said. "I'll be there for a one-day camp on June 18. I should know a lot more after that."
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound speedster will camp at Texas Christian this month as well as with the third team in his Top 3, Arizona. He has offers from Iowa and Arizona.
"TCU has told me that they'll offer at camp if I show them what I need to show them," Thomas said. "I'm trying to set something up with Arizona today."
After Thomas sees the three schools, or maybe just two of them, he could pull the trigger on a decision this summer.
"I really feel like I can play with anybody in NCAA football," Thomas said. "If Iowa and TCU tell me I have a chance to play early, I might verbal this summer. Those are my Top 2, so if I find what I want at one of them, it could be over."
Thomas said that Iowa Wide Receivers Coach Erik Campbell watched him work out during spring ball in Texas last month.
"I guess he went back to talk to some of the other (Iowa) coaches and they offered a few days later," Thomas said. "I talked with him on the phone and he said I have a chance to play early as a slot guy. They have a lot of bigger receivers, but they need someone in the slot."
Campbell also told Thomas he could be utilized in the return game.
"I feel like speed is a big part of my game," he said. "I feel like I can get in and out of breaks fast and have a good vertical for my height."
Thomas said he hasn't been timed in the 40 recently, but ran the open 400 meters and the 4x400 in track this spring. He claimed the 6th best time in the state in the open at 48.8 seconds.

Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX) manufactures and sells semiconductor equipment and materials. The stock broke sharply above resistance in the $43 area last week before stalling somewhat this week. But it should continue moving higher if stocks do so also. Here is the best way to play more strength in Lam Research:

2014 NHRA: Mello Yello Series Results Saturday From Topeka
Posted by: newsla on May 25, 2014 - 07:25 AM
2014 NHRA: Mello Yello Series Results Saturday From Topeka
Brittany and Courtney Force raced to No. 1 qualifying positions Saturday at the NHRA Kansas Nationals at Heartland Park Topeka, the first time sisters have shared the top qualifying stage at an NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series event.
Brittany posted a career-best performance of 3.746 seconds with a track record speed of 329.75 mph in her 10,000-horsepower Castrol Edge dragster to claim her first career No. 1 in Top Fuel.
Courtney set both ends of the Funny Car track record with a 4.009 at 322.96 in her Traxxas Ford Mustang to earn her second No. 1 of the season and fifth of her career.
Brittany will face veteran driver Luigi Novelli to open Sundayâs 11 a.m. eliminations and Courtney will race Dale Creasy Jr. Both drivers are pursuing the landmark 100th female pro victory in NHRA history during a season that has seen female drivers in each pro class have success.
âIâm so excited,â said Brittany, who with a win would also become the 100th different driver to earn an NHRA Top Fuel victory. âIt shows that all our hard work is finally paying off after struggling last year. To be able to come out here and go number one, I didnât expect that. I am so proud of my entire team. I hope our first win comes this weekend. That would be awesome.â
Courtney is continuing the momentum from a runner-up finish last weekend in Atlanta, where she was emotional after losing a close race to teammate and series points leader Robert Hight.
âIt was a tough weekend for me,â Courtney said. âI was going for my first win of the season, a spot in the Traxxas Shootout and the 100th win for women on top of it all. I am glad we have found some consistency and that was a career-best run. Thereâs a lot of pressure for us girls out here right now. And itâs cool to see me and Brittany going to the top and Alexis (DeJoria, Funny Car) and Erica (Enders-Stevens, Pro Stock) are also running great. Itâs our time to shine as women out here and this is the perfect place to do it. Hopefully we can keep the ball rolling.â
Brittany said it is really amazing to earn her first No. 1 qualifying position alongside her sister.
âWe both came out here as kids, watched our dad race, and dreamed about driving a fuel car,â Brittany said. âItâs so cool to think that weâre both running in the pros and weâre both on top of the field ahead of all these guys who are champions out here. Itâs a little surreal.â
Their father John was second in his Castrol GTX High Mileage Mustang with a 4.021 at 318.84 and Hight, who has won the last three events and is riding a six-race final round streak, qualified third in his Auto Club Ford Mustang with a 4.040 at 314.75. John will race Bob Tasca III and Hight will face Cruz Pedregon in the opening round.
Also in Top Fuel, J.R. Todd qualified second in his Optima Batteries dragster with his Friday-leading 3.747 at 324.75 and will face Clay Millican in the opening round. Defending world champ Shawn Langdon qualified third with a 3.756 at 323.43 in his Al-Anabi Racing dragster and will meet veteran Pat Dakin in the first round. Series leader Doug Kalitta, a past winner at Topeka, qualified sixth in the Mac Tools dragster with a 3.778 at 327.03 and will race Leah Pritchett in the opener.
In Pro Stock, Vincent Nobileâs effort on Friday of 6.601 seconds at 208.71 mph in his Mountain View Tire Chevy Camaro gave him his second No. 1 position of the season and fourth of his career. It is his first top qualifying effort at Topeka and he will meet Mark Hogan in the first round.
âWhen you run good it is definitely a confidence booster,â Nobile said. âWe had three consistent runs so far and hopefully we can put in four tomorrow and take home the trophy. Weâve done pretty good this year and had a bunch of semifinal finishes. Weâre out here to win just like everybody else. It kinda feels like a little bit of a struggle, and hopefully this weekend we can turn it around.â
Pro Stock points leader Enders-Stevens posted the quickest run in each qualifying round today and qualified second overall with a 6.606 at 208.81 in her Elite Motorsports Chevy Camaro. She will face Deric Kramer in the first round.

I had 350cc submuscular silicone implants placed 12/27/12. I'm removing 8/14/13 for numerous reasons. Right now, my implants look distorted when I flex my chest muscles. I know the implants are not fully under the muscle as they have bottomed out. I'm wondering if removal of the implants, capsulectomy, reattachment of the muscle to the chest wall, and raising of the IMF will correct this deformity, or will they look deformed forever because the muscles have been cut? I don't want to be deformed!
Chest Muscle Deformity When Muscles Are Flexed; Will Explant Fix This?

Chest Muscle Deformity When Muscles Are Flexed; Will Explant Fix This?
Unfortunately, animation or flexion deformity, may persist even when breast implants are removed. This is related to the presence of scar tissue that "connects" the pectoralis major muscle to the overlying breast tissue/skin. In my experience, this may be a difficult problem to "fix".
Best wishes; hopefully you will be pleased with the outcome of the planned procedure, even if there is some breast movement that occurs with muscle flexion.

Options for correction of animation deformity
I have seen several cases where the animation deformity persists after the implants are removed, so it is very important to have the muscles re-attached. There are also some very good options for correction of animation without removing the implants, specifically conversion to the split muscle plane. I can send you a copy of my article describing this if you like.

Chest Muscle Deformity When Muscles Are Flexed; Will Explant Fix This?
The deformity is from the pectoral muscles compressing the implants. Once these are gone, this should no longer occur.
All the best.

The double-breasted coat featured throughout the 1970s film, in which Caine's gangster returns to Tyneside to avenge his brother's death.
It was worn by the star and his stunt double during the fight sequences, according to auctioneers Christie's.
The black cotton coat, one of two used in the film, sold for £2,750 on Wednesday afternoon.
The whereabouts of the second coat are unknown.
A Christie's spokesman said: "Michael Caine's black trenchcoat is a key costume featuring throughout the film.
"It is first seen over Caine's arm as Carter leaves the train on reaching Newcastle.
"Carter then wears it throughout the film whenever an overcoat is used, even in the final sequence when he's assassinated on the shore."
Get Carter, directed by Mike Hodges, was poorly received by critics at its 1971 release, but has since become one of Britain's best-loved gangster films.
The auction comes as another of the film's iconic stars - the car park from which Jack Carter throws a corrupt businessman - faces demolition.
Gateshead's "Get Carter car park", as it is known locally, is due to be knocked down in January to make way for a Tesco store.

Teens are complicated. There I said it. You can be sweet, sassy, thoughtful, and rude all in the matter of minutes. And that complexity is what makes working with you such a fun challenge.
I recently attended a training for Mental Health First Aid hosted by the Jefferson Center for Mental Health that reminded me of how quickly the brain is changing between the ages of 12-20, and how those changes can affect mental health. There are some amazing resources out there for you and the adults in your life that can answer questions, spark discussion, and provide background information. One of my favorite sites is Teen Mental Health which has information for teens, parents, and educators on everything from dealing with depression and anxiety to making new transitions in life, like starting colllege. The library also offers access to Teen Health and Wellness, an awesome database, that covers a variety of topics like grief and loss, food safety, and even dating.
So no matter what you're feeling, take a deep breath, talk, do a little research and know that your brain changes will slow down someday, but the way it functions will always be complicated (even as an adult).

Aimee Carter, author of the Goddess Test series, has a new book out!
Pawn takes place in a future United States where society is strictly structured into different social classes. Each person takes a test when they turn 17 that determines their class and the kind of life that they will lead. Kitty tests as a III, which means working in a sewer and never having enough food or money to truly be happy. When the Prime Minister gives her the opportunity to upgrade to a VII she agrees without even knowing what she will need to do. The next thing she knows she is waking up after weeks of being drugged, only to find that she has a whole new body—she now looks and sounds exactly like the Prime Minister's niece. Kitty learns that her world and the people who lead it are more gruesome and corrupt than she ever imagined, and she is now a pawn in their evil plots.
If you like dystopian books like The Hunger Games or Divergent you should definitely try Pawn.
A boy stands in his room and then the world is destroyed. Okay, so that isn't exactly what happens in Homestuck, a web comic written, illustrated, and animated by Andrew Hussie, but it's not far from the truth.
Meet John and his three friends Rose, Dave, and Jade. They decide to play a game called Sburb only to find out that it destroys their world. Now they need to work together with a group of alien teenagers called Trolls to save, not only their world, but many others, even in other galaxies. Get ready to dive into a world where everything is completely crazy and can make little to no sense. You will laugh the whole way through your Homestuck experience and make new friends.
Still doesn't sound cool enough for you? Come and learn more about this crazy phenomenon at the Standley Lake Library's Homestuck Party, Friday February 7th at 6:00pm.

I just moved to Denver from Kansas City in December, and since then I have undergone a crash course in Broncos football mania. People are sporting orange and blue at work, to school, even on dates (a color combo that in any other context is not recommended). I have never been passionate about a football team (sorry Kansas City Chiefs), but the love and excitement for the Broncos just might make me a fan.
Inspired by the football buzz I decided to read, Pop by Gordon Korman. It must have been the Broncos orange and blue on the cover that sucked me in, or that like me the main character, Marcus Jordan, has just moved to a new town. While training at the park for the upcoming football season Marcus befriends Charlie Popovich, a charasmatic adult prankster. When school starts Marcus is schocked to find out that Charlie is not only the father of Troy, the starting quarterback at school, but is also a former NFL player. Tensions rise both on and off the field as the boys compete over football, girls, and what's best for Charlie.
Sports fiction is not usually the kind of book that I tackle (see what I did there), but I enjoyed the very real characters created by Korman and the fast pace of the storytelling. So, in the spirit of trying new things, this weekend I am going to rock some orange and blue and scream GO BRONCOS!

Are you a Gallagher Girls fan? A Heist Society enthusiast? A budding spy yourself? Try Also Known As by Robin Benway. Maggie Silver has never had a chance to be a "real" teen. She has spent her life cracking safes to aid The Collective, a mysterious organization that funds missions for spies to right wrongs.
Her new mission is different though. Instead of just cracking the safe after everyone else does the investigating, info gathering, and other spy stuff, this time Maggie's going to high school to befriend the son of the man who could expose the agents of The Collective.
Along with keeping her identity a secret, she has to figure out how to properly accessorize her school uniform, go on a first date, and survive a high school party without getting vomited on.
Cassie is amazing at reading people. She can take one look at someone and know things about them that they won't even admit to themselves. She's so good at reading people that she gets recruited by the FBI for a top secret training group. The group takes "naturals" like Cassie and helps them hone their skills so they will be experts by the time they're ready to join the FBI.
The Naturals all live together and practice on cold cases using their special skills. For example, one is a compulsive liar who can always tell when others are lying, and another is an expert at reading other people's emotions. Imagine living with people like that! Everything is moving along smoothly until one of the serial killers the FBI is chasing starts communicating with Cassie and the Naturals decide to take action.
The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes was exactly what I wanted it to be, full of the action, adventure, and danger of a good spy story. I was on the edge of my seat trying to guess how it was going to end. I have always enjoyed Jennifer Lynn Barnes' books-- she also wrote Every Other Day, about a girl with monster killing super powers that only work every other day, and the werewolf series that starts with Raised by Wolves. Now, with The Naturals, I have a new favorite to add to my list!
I picked up 3:59 by Gretchen McNeil because I loved her last book Ten, which was an excellent horror story and made me feel like I was watching a classic teen slasher movie. 3:59 was just as good, but very different.
Josie's life is falling apart. Her parents have officially separated and her dad just moved out. Her mother is totally obsessed with work and has no time for anything else, including Josie. Her physics teacher hates her for no good reason, even though she's practically a physics genius. She was fired from her job. And to top it all off, she catches her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend—on their one year anniversary.
Amidst all this chaos, Josie starts dreaming of another version of herself; a prettier, richer, less-single version. After a while, she realizes that these dreams occur at exactly 3:59 every time, and that they might not be dreams after all. Could the antique mirror in her bedroom actually be a portal into another dimension? And if so, should she be living that life instead?
Gretchen McNeil has one more book that I haven't read, Possess. I'll have to add it to my pile!
More than 150 years ago, a guy named Franz Xaver von Schönwerth decided to spend his life writing down fairy tales, much like the Brothers Grimm. Actually, the Grimm Brothers recommended that he take their job once they stopped working. All his work was put in an archive in Germany and forgotten about for a century and a half. Now they've been rediscovered and published in German. I'm impatiently waiting for the translation to English, because, from the sounds of it, these will be just as gruesome and horrifying as the stories we already know. According to this article, in one story "there is the tale of a maiden who escapes a witch by transforming herself into a pond. The witch then lies on her stomach and drinks all the water, swallowing the young girl, who uses a knife to cut her way out of the witch."
While you wait for the von Schönwerth tales to come to America, here are some other gruesome stories to satisfy.
The ancient gods are still alive in modern-day America, but just barely. Hermes body is consuming itself, and Athena is sprouting feathers inside her body. "She reached into her mouth and grasped the short, exposed quill of the feather. When she yanked, it tore free with a long, meaty sound...Blood drenched her tongue and teeth. The feather hung limply from her fingertips, and she slammed it down onto the bar top. It was disgusting, coated with blood and bits of her skin."
When Joey's mother dies, he has to leave Chicago and go live with a father he's never known in Iowa. His father is known as The Garbage Man and he's no ordinary refuse-collector; he's a modern-day grave robber. Joey is forced to help with the gruesome work. Maggots, rotting flesh, and horror abound. Especially gross are the "rat kings," rats whose tails have become tangled so they move as a single mass. Ew.
If you haven't read this for school yet, read it now! I know, it's a "classic" and "required reading," but really, it's a macabre look into how evil even children can be, if left to their own devices. I'm not going to spoil the ending, but know that at one point, a kid beheads a wild pig and puts the head on a stake and then talks to it. And someone gets murdered.
To wrap this up, my apologies for any nightmares that may occur due to reading these novels. Sweet dreams!

Yeah, I used to have to feed something like 3-3 1/2 cups of Eukanuba to Scout and now I feed only 2 cups of the Natural Choice. It's a lot more digestible and I've noticed that she doesn't need to poop NEARLY as much. I can't imagine what would happen if I fed her Dog Chow or Ol' Roy or something like that. I'd probably be scooping poop til doomsday, LOL.
Agreed, plus 2! It's so important to feed your dog quality food. Science Diet/Iams/etc. is full of crap ingredients and cheap filler.
Half of my dog's diet consists of Nature's Balance Vegetarian Formula and he also eats organic, cage free scrambled eggs, organic string cheese, and sometimes organic cottage cheese, and organic yogurt. Oh, and he also eats lots of organic fruits and veggies. Only the best for my furry friend!
Also to ShinyCrazy instead of feeding the prescription diet dog food you could instead feed a much better quality lower fat dog and save money at the same time.
I do a rotation diet and each bag last a little over a month depending on what brand but it is usually $43 for a 15.4 pound bag of Orijen 6 Fresh Fish $30 for a 13.2 pound bag of Innova EVO Red Meat Small Bits $32 for a 15.4 pound bag of Orijen Adult Formula $34 for a 13.2 pound bag of Nature's Varity Instinct Rabbit and $38 for a 16.5 pound bag of Acana Grassland's Formula
I have a small dog bu I usually buy a big bag of food. I only feed her holistic food from the pet store I work at and I get a good discount. The bags are about $30 and it lasts 3 months, so $10 a month.
I agree with you plus_2
Totally agreed with plus_2_kid also. I feed both my dog and cat Innova. The cat was on Wellness for a long time, but I switched this past year because I wanted to make sure he was getting an even higher quality food that met all his nutritional needs. He eats mainly dry, but every morning, as a special treat, he gets 1/4 of a large can of Wellness or Innova wet food. It does get a bit expensive, but they're worth it. My babies are very babied.
and I agree with plus-2 we use Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. It is the only dry food Auggie has eaten for more than a few months. (he separates his food when he wants to) he has been at a more healthy weight since starting it, and its recommended by the Whole Dog Journal
I have NO IDEA!!! We spend $125 every 3 months on their meat rolls and then have to buy all their dry stuff. That we go through at varying rates b/c we have a dog that is a picky eater and some months he eats more than others. We also have to vary a protein add in for the picky eater and that varies in price. So all said I really have no idea how much their food costs every month....Though I hope never to have another picky eater for a dog!!! I love Auggie very much but keeping him a healthy weight is such a chore!!
Also, Chicken Soup for the Kitten Lovers Soul costs about 80 cents for a wet can twice the size of the Fancy Feast cans. All told, maybe $40 for both critters (55 lb boxer and 6 lb kitten)
For all of you using Purina/Iams/Science Diet etc: For your dog's health,considering switching to a better brand (Innova, Solid Gold or Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul). Even though they cost more per pound YOU FEED YOUR DOG LESS since there is less useless filler (like corn meal) than the junk brands (and YES junk brands includes Iams). It does NOT cost more per month. Less food = lasts longer = less poo = same price = healthier dog. And no, I am not a paid plant - I just researched on my own and was FLOORED when I found out this stuff. Plus, the poison issues continue from last summer. My dog's coat looks better, less gas (sorry but she IS a boxer...) less poo (always a plus), same cost.
My dog has digestive issues, so I have to feed her something fairly high-quality. I feed her Natural Choice Chicken/Oatmeal recipe, which runs about $35 for a 40 lb bag. I buy it at the farm supply store instead of the pet store (it costs $10 MORE at the pet store for the exact same stuff). My cat gets Cat Chow Indoor Cat formula, which works for him...keeps him from getting hairballs.
I have a american staffordshire mix with pancreatitis so I have to buy prescription dog food that's much more expensive than the purina one I was using. For the largest bag (best deal) it's $60. One bag lasts two months. She had stopped eating and was sluggish, the vet did some blood tests and found out her pancreas was inflammed. She can't have treats/rawhides anymore, so I do save in that area. I just use her new food for "treats". She gets just as excited for the kibble as she did for treats.
I buy him 4 lbs bags for about $13 each and it lasts about 3 weeks. I also buy tube food and grate a little onto his kibble. That's like $8 but lasts a little over a month. I have no problem spending money on his food. Why would I expect him to eat the cheap crap? I want good food for myself so I want good food for him too!
It used to be about $30.00 for two small bags of food a month. Then she went on a hunger strike, and the only way to make her eat was to mix the dry food with wet food. I know she is totally spoiled rotten!
Not very much, probably about $6. My dog's food is $14 for a 6 pound bag, but it lasts 3 months, and his treats last a long time, too, because he's small.
I spend $50 on a 27lb bag of food and each dog gets 2cups a day. So, I think the bag last 1 1/2 months. I dunno. :shrug: Too much.
~75 cents a can for Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys, and Pancake eats 2 cans a day, so $45 in wet food. Add in another $5 for dry food and a few bucks for occasional treats...
I hope I am not the only one who is stuck buying ultra hypoallergenic food, it is a bank-breaker and all three of them eat it which costs about $75 for a 27lb bag... BUT.. it is worth it, they all like it and nobody gets sick or the itchies :)
Two ten pound bags of Iams for Small/Toy Dogs a month at 11.99...About 23 bucks. Not too bad. Now, if you factor in Rawhides (3 bags a month @ $7 = $21), Peanut Butter (Low Fat), Milk Bones...Probably around 55-ish a month. :)
