At least in the cinematic morass that is modern movies, "Dracula III" is better than the wimpy vampire lore pioneered by Anne Rice.
At least he's ending somewhere just north of mediocre.
does the cliffhanger ending indicate that everyone involved thinks it's a good idea to keep this series going
...contains some decent acting and some solid atmospherics. The only thing it doesn't contain is a script adequate enough to develop any serious thrills, shocks, or suspense.

Audience Reviews for Wes Craven Presents Dracula III: Legacy
A most disappointing and lackluster conclusion to the Dracula 2000 series, Dracula III: Legacy is a rather dull and formulaic vampire film. The story follows two vampire hunters that head to Romanian in search of Dracula, who they believe is behind a civil uprising. Jason Scott Lee and Jason London return to reprise their roles, and Rutger Hauer takes on the role of Dracula. Sadly, none of the promise that was setup with the second film is built upon, and the two films only seem tangentially related. Additionally, the low-budget effects and sets show through and detract from the storytelling. Dracula III: Legacy relies on tired old vampire tropes and has nothing original to offer.
Super Reviewer
Sink your teeth into this cool as hell and awesome horror film. It's thrilling, witty, sharp and totally awesome. Rutger Hauer is brilliant as Dracula in the newest chapter to the series. A fun and creepy thrill-ride that can almost be considered a masterpiece. A strong, compelling, suspenseful and intensely terrifying flick. An explosively exciting and very entertaining movie. Director, Patrick Lussier has done a great job with this series from the 2000 film to this riveting chapter in the series. From start to finish this movie is a thrilling and fun blast.

I've watched all three of the Dracula trilogies movies going back to 2000 and actually Dracula II Ascension wasn't bad at all, Dracula III is not the worst vampire flick I've seen , there's actually some well thought scenes but the movie has many flaws. One of the best things I can say about it is that it was entertaining, and it was pretty much as I expected. Well first let's get down the bad stuff. Jason Scott Lee reprising his role as Father Uffizi is just plain horrible. Lee himself Is a mediocre actor to begin with apart from his martial arts stuff, he can't act. every time I see him going into his little Indiana Jones routine of chopping heads of with his whip sends me into a hysteria of laugher. Roy Scheider is in this film for two minutes as a useless character named Cardinal Siqueros. Now perhaps the biggest con and letdown is that Dracula himself, now played by Rutger Hauer is in this film for about six to twelve minutes!!. What a waste, some more screen time would have helped, although Rutger himself seems to old play this role just like Christopher Lee was during the last Dracula movies. Before the movie starts we , we get a barrage of clips from the last movie and I have to say that it's horribly edited to the point that I almost died laughing. Jason Scott Lee is such a horrible actor that he made part of this film into a comedy not a horror movie. The plot says that Uffizi and Luke (Jason London) are still searching for Dracula and Luke's love Elizabeth but this time around they encounter some vampire along with the way, along with some different mutated vampires and a couple of stupid rebels. That's dead on actually. Apparently there a separate group of scum selling villagers as food. Anyhow, Uffizi and Luke rescue some girl named Julia whose a reporter and from there let the vampire killings begin!!! The action/vampire kills in the movie, are pretty good actually, at least this part is watchable, there's some good setup of suspense and thrills just before every kill. The movie never gets dull at least, the characters never have too many long lines keeping the action going. The acting was average to good, Jason London as Luke is more likable than the priest, and he actually does some vampire killings of his own which are done alright, Rutger Hauer in the few minutes he has as Dracula does his best. Again Jason Lee is horrible but he has his moments. Budget wise, since this was from Dimension the budget seems small but from what I saw it was good enough to present at least a semi watchable vampire film. The movie is definitely nothing I would shell out money for on DVD but if it's on cable or something I might watch it again. Then that is Dracula III The Legacy, it's watchable but just don't expect your socks to be knocked. It's not that horrible,I actually liked it but by no means is it a horror classic. You're usual vampire flick with it's highs and lows

"But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh, we deprive a soul of the sun and light and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy."Earthlings is a 2005 documentary film about the horrific treatment of animals in the food industry, puppy mills, etc. The film was directed by Shaum Monson, is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, features music by Moby and was co-produced by Maggie Q.It is available for free at the filmmakers website.Not to be confused with Puny Earthlings.
Provides examples of:
- Cannibal: It shows a few chickens eating a dead one. Also pigs get their tails cut off so other pigs will not bite them off. Cannibalism in pigs is also shown to occur frequently.
- Cruel and Unusual Death
- Gorn: It is an extremely brutal and graphic film. The faint of heart might want to listen to it instead, if you can handle the sound of pigs screaming...
- Groin Attack:
- Without any sort of pain relievers or anesthesia, either.
- Anal-electrocution is used to kill a fox.
- Hypocrite: They show a "kosher" farm that is anything but.
- "It" Is Dehumanizing: Why the narrator often speaks of animals as "he or she".

Fukuoka turns the camera on Asia this month during the "Focus on Asia — Fukuoka International Film Festival 2010."
The event will present 41 films from 18 countries and regions accross the continent.
One of the must-see movies is 2009's "Mundane History" directed by Thailand's Anocha Suwichakornpong. It tells the story of a paralyzed young man who tries to get his spirit back with the help of a male nurse. The plot is simple, but the movie has been described as perplexing and incredibly abstract despite it. Members of the festival's organizing committee have referred to the film as being a religious experience.
Another film that should generate interest is "Whispers and Moans." The Hong Kong movie is directed by Herman Yau and addresses the reality of female hostesses who work at nightclubs in the metropolis.
The film, produced in 2007, depicts the gradual change in Hong Kong society after the return of the region to China, which caused an inflow of migrant workers from the mainland.
The film festival, held in part by the city of Fukuoka, started in 1991. The films will have Japanese and English subtitles.
The movies will be shown at Solaria Cinema, Elgala Hall and other venues in the center of Fukuoka. Individual tickets cost ¥1,000 in advance (¥1,200 at the door). Package deals are available, as are discounts for students.
For more information, look at the website of the film festival at www.focus-on-asia.com.

It's simple, and free.
In both cases, the police women did largely undercover work and had a team of males around to protect them from harm. This was not an entirely new development, for a syndicated show called Decoy had used the same idea in 1957. Charlie's Angels beginning in 1976 presented women as private crime fighters, though they were under the direction of the never-seen male Charlie. These shows seen today seem less dedicated to showing women in non-traditional roles and more to showing good-looking women in designer clothes. The glamour of the leads was given much more attention than their abilities. Somewhat scantily-clad women were also featured as super heroes in The Bionic Woman from 1976 and Wonder Woman, also from 1976.
These women and their roles were generally far divorced from the lives live by the women watching at home, and this would be true of the other major depiction of women beginning in the late 1970s with the femmes fatales and sex objects of the glossy soap opera Dallas, from 1978. Glamour was again the central focus, and these characters tended to be wealthy, unscrupulous, and promiscuous in equal parts. The pairing of police women and wealthy socialites reflected the long-standing treatment of women a either angels or whores, with some variation between the two extremes, yet generally women in dramatic shows did not move much beyond these poles.
Joseph R. Dominick reports on a study of the portrayal of women in prime time between 1953 and 1977, extending from the beginnings of the television situation comedy to the era of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. It was found in this 1979 study that the number of women in starring roles remained relatively constant over the 25-year period studied. The number of women shown as housewives or housekeepers had declined over this period, but the makeup of the television labor force consistently demonstrated no relationship to the real-life employment patterns of women. This was...

London - If Manchester United needed any reminding of their supremacy after losing the English title to Manchester City, the Premier League provided it on Tuesday.
Midfielder Ryan Giggs received the award for the top player in the Premier League's history, and manager Alex Ferguson was announced as the top manager in the past 20 years.
Ferguson sidestepped the London ceremony two days after coming within touching distance of producing United's 13th league title in 20 years.
But Giggs was forced to receive his award next to the Premier League trophy, which was adorned in the blue and white ribbons of fierce foe City for the first time.
United were minutes away from defending their title on Sunday, but City scored two stoppage-time goals to overcome Queens Park Rangers 3-2 and end a 44-year league drought.
"I think you have seen over the last couple of seasons that City have got stronger and stronger," Giggs said at the Premier League ceremony in London. "And it is up to us really to try and win the title back next year."
The 38-year-old Giggs has been part of all of United's Premier League title-winning sides, making 909 appearances for the club to become the most decorated player in British football history.
And he still has the hunger to add to his collection of medals.
"We just have to go away now and come back tougher to compete next year," the Welshman said.
So determined is Ferguson to topple City, the 70-year-old manager was back to work first thing on Monday plotting revenge.
"He didn't sleep much on Sunday night. None of us did. He was in the office at 7.30 on Monday morning already thinking about next season," United chief executive David Gill said. "We have to get on with it now. We can't look back and feel sorry for ourselves. We have started planning for next year. We will come back fresh and I am always confident with this manager."
And confident Ferguson has no plans to relinquish the United hot seat he has held since 1986.
"He has a rolling contract and he delegates, he still has the enthusiasm, and I am sure he will go on for many more years," Gill said. "He made the decision to retire a few years ago, but in the end he didn't and I think it was the correct decision. Football is his life. Long may he continue."
Transfer targets have already been identified to try and compete with City, although United will resist trying to match their Abu Dhabi-owned neighbour's lavish spending.
"Obviously, the work intensifies now in terms of actually doing deals and we've identified players, so let's see what happens," Gill said. "It's a 365-day-a-year job that talent is always on our radar, but the paperwork is done in the close season and transfer window - we can sort out the deals beforehand and get them moving."
Votes for the Premier League awards were cast by a panel of experts. - Sapa-AP

THE national selectors have spoken to Ricky Ponting about his future ahead of the Perth Test.
Though no final decision has been made about his prospects beyond the series decider against South Africa, the fact the topic has been discussed with Ponting after his struggles in Brisbane and Adelaide strengthens the impression that his performances at the WACA Ground from Friday could decide the 37-year-old champion's fate.
Ponting is also of that view. He said on Channel Nine at the weekend that he knew a conversation with the selectors was coming and that their hand would be forced unless he scored significant runs soon.
Coach Mickey Arthur has said Ponting has the unanimous backing of the selectors at present, adding that although Ponting's position in the team for the third Test was not scrutinised, ''by his own admission Perth is a big Test for him''.
Ponting will fight for his career at the ground where, as a debutant 17 years ago, he was controversially dismissed for 96 against Sri Lanka.
He was denied a century on debut when he was given out lbw despite being hit on the thigh by Chaminda Vaas, a decision that would have been overturned by the decision review system.
The former captain averages 41.43 at the WACA Ground, his lowest average at a regular Australian Test venue by a considerable distance (next is the MCG, where he averages 58).
Ponting's one Test ton in Perth was 197 against Pakistan in 1999. He, and Australia, could use a second.
Ponting will draw level with Steve Waugh on 168 Tests in Perth. Waugh said this week he would be honoured to share the mantle as Australia's most capped Test player with the Tasmanian. Test No. 169 remains to be seen.

It's been a little while since we checked out what Mint had to offer, but it looks like they are progressing quite well. One of the things that really makes them stand out is their ability to connect to your bank and download new transactions. Up until now they have supported (in the U.S.) 2,520 banks, 1,621 credit cards, and starting next week on May 6th they'll have 2,381 investment accounts added to the list.
That's right, not only will they keep track of your bank accounts and credit cards, but now they'll also manage any brokerage, IRA, 401K, and 529 assets that you have. There's no doubt that a lot of people were waiting for them to start supporting investment accounts, and I expect that this will attract a lot of new users.
I do have to give credit where credit is due, however. When we previously checked out Mint I was skeptical about how secure their system was, and whether they would be able to withstand the test of time. Well, the site has been up and running since September 2007 without any publicly disclosed vulnerabilities having been found. Bravo!
Am I still a little weary? Sure, but they definitely have to be winning over the confidence of the users. What about you? Is taking your finances online something you foresee doing now or in the future?

Political and commercial agendas, both individual and collective, rarely allow for a wholly accurate assessment of the regional airline industry's condition. With an array
of conflicting and ambiguous signals from within executive circles, trying to gauge industry prospects at this year's Regional Airline Association convention in St. Louis would prove as frustrating as ever.
Still, anxiety about the rise of discount carriers and public disenchantment with RJs clearly tempered expressions of optimism born out of double-digit traffic gains and a 5-percent increase in overall market share. The RAA not only admitted as much, it used the venue as an outlet to broadcast its warning messages.
Unfortunately for the uninitiated, detailed strategies for tackling "challenges" rarely escape the closed doors of the presidents council meeting, while organizers shepherd press types from one marketing presentation to another. To her credit, RAA president Debby McElroy each year sits with the association chairman for a question-and-answer session ostensibly designed to give delegates a sense of the issues under debate. As always, McElroy and new RAA chairman Phil Trenary chose their words judiciously, careful to highlight those points on which most of the RAA's airline members agree.
The controversial Computer Assisted Passenger Profiling System (CAPPS II), for one, enjoys particularly strong support, despite concerns raised by the General Accounting Office over passenger privacy, government abuse and insufficient evidence of its effectiveness.
"Little old ladies aren't blowing up airplanes," said Trenary in response to the criticism. Rhetorically asked to identify who, in fact, does blow up airplanes, he replied, "Well, we know of only one case." The association's new chairman complained about an incident when the TSA flagged him for extra screening. Trenary contends that he, as an airline president, shouldn't have to bear such scrutiny. He and McElroy also railed against screening of airline pilots. "The airlines do extensive background checks on all their employees," she said. "We don't need more screening; we just need to do it in a smarter fashion."
Reminded of instances when regional airline pilots tried to sneak guns onto airplanes, McElroy glibly pointed to the fact that the federal flight deck officer program allows pilots to carry guns now anyway. McElroy also endorsed the proposal for a "Trusted Traveler" program, under which frequent travelers, after paying a fee and submitting to a background check, could get an ID card that would allow them to bypass airport screenings. Opponents of the plan argue that once a would-be terrorist learns how to manipulate the system, he or she will win carte blanche to pass through security at will. Others say the system would create a de-facto national identity card, establish a government-sanctioned class structure among citizens and pave yet another avenue for identity theft.
Notwithstanding arguments over the legality of CAPPS II, the RAA exists to help its members make more money, and just about all its positions reflect that singular duty. Airport hassles equate to less revenue, and tens of thousands of TSA screeners needed to perform searches and interrogation mean more costs. In four years the number of origin-and-destination routes shorter than 400 miles has dropped 25 percent, due largely to passenger aversion to airports and the failing economics of small turboprops.
Recognizing the futility of its argument that the government should bear all the cost of airport security, the RAA now concentrates on controlling the effects of security on revenue, hence the overwhelming support for CAPPS II. Meanwhile, cost-control efforts at the airlines remain largely internal, though one might encounter less than eager admissions that they center on pay concessions. For example, Comair president Randy Rademacher identified more efficient fleet use as his top priority. But when pressed on the 12-hour average use rates the airline now registers, he admitted "that's about as far as we can go."
Only later did Rademacher acknowledge that employee concessions stand among the some "100 initiatives" to address the problem. He refused to characterize the airline's 2002 pilot settlement as excessive, however, calling it "comparable to many of the other regionals' payscales at the time." Nevertheless, few would argue that Comair's comparatively expensive pilot contract played a role in its failure to win new Delta Connection flying that went instead to SkyWest, Chautauqua and Atlantic Southeast Airlines.
While alluding to the same contract, ASA president Skip Barnette said he took delight in "proving the industry wrong about [the ability of] wholly owned carriers" to win new flying from their parent airlines. Defying the view that ASA's "maturing" cost base would place the airline at an irreconcilable disadvantage, Barnette attested to the value of his airline's improving on-time performance and completion rates.
ASA suffered a serious public-relations blow last year, when the DOT ranked it near the bottom of the industry in operational performance. This year it has met its goals of a 98-percent completion rate and an 80-percent on-time average–the best showing in the airline's 25-year history. "There are still some issues around [lost] baggage, particularly at the large hubs," conceded Barnette. "But our investment in automation has allowed us to give precise numbers to the DOT. People tend to round numbers, and that affected our rankings."
Of course, ASA's status as a wholly owned carrier better affords it the time and resources it takes to build and adjust to new internal processes. It also allows it to concentrate on serving one master, while the less secure, independent regionals must diversify to protect themselves from the sudden loss of a partner.
Air Wisconsin, for one, has resumed its search for more partners following its divorce from discount carrier AirTran Airways. CEO Geoff Crowley said the relationship, born a year-and-a-half ago as an "experiment," didn't work for two main reasons. "We knew we weren't going to bring good unit costs with RJs," said Crowley. "Originally we talked about using our Dornier 328s but we couldn't make that work. But we thought our trip costs with the RJs would be better [than they were]."
Crowley said that from the start he planned to assess the deal after a year to decide whether or not to continue it. Flying only 10 CRJs as AirTran JetConnect, Air Wisconsin needed to increase its volume to counter the inevitable low yields within AirTran's territory. "If we couldn't grow it, we didn't want to do it," said Crowley.
In direct contrast with Crowley's assessment of his AirTran experience, Horizon Air president Jeff Pinneo said he feels "lucky" to count Denver-based discount carrier Frontier Airlines among Horizon's code-share partners. Now overseeing nine CRJ700s flying as Frontier Jet Express, Pinneo said Horizon's "good regional and cultural alignment" with Frontier offers advantages rarely seen in today's cost-driven business. The 12-year deal, described by Pinneo as a revenue supplement, will eventually account for 23- to 24-percent of the regional airline's capacity and 11 percent of its revenue, he added. "We have a busy summer coming," said Pinneo.
Others hoping to stay busy include Mesaba Airlines, which, after settling a long contract dispute with its pilots in January, plans to "compete aggressively" for the rights to 150 Bombardier CRJs held by Northwest Airlines. Advertising a balance sheet that shows $150 million in cash holdings and no debt, CEO Paul Foley said he plans to use Mesaba's Big Sky Airways subsidiary as a vehicle to attract code-share business from airlines other than Northwest. Foley said he recently broke off contract talks with United Airlines when the major airline asked Mesaba to sign a 10-year contract but assume the liability for 15-year airplane leases.
Now flying seven Fairchild Metroliners, Billings, Mont.-based Big Sky expects to take delivery of at least that many Beech 1900s once Mesaba reaches terms with Raytheon on a fleet-replacement plan. Under the terms of the pilot settlement, if the company wants Big Sky to fly airplanes certified for more than 19 passenger seats, it must use pilots from the Mesaba seniority list.
Notwithstanding Mesaba's failed attempts to partner with United, the Chicago-based major airline has experienced little trouble finding regionals eager to fill the role left
by Atlantic Coast Airlines' exodus from the United Express family. Trans States Airlines, for one, expects its new contract to fly Embraer ERJ-145s as United Express will more than double its capacity by 2005 and give it the chance to graduate to 70-seat jets.
"To be a real competitor, you need to fly 70-seaters and above," said Trans States COO Rick Leach. Because the UAL and American Airlines scope clauses don't allow for airplanes that carry more than 70 seats, Leach acknowledged anything larger will have to fly within Trans States' US Airways Express system–a distinct possibility given the US Airways pilots last month voted to allow the transfer of RJ positions from the wholly owned regional carriers in the event GECAS elects to pull its financing on deliveries to US Airways.
US Airways Express president Bruce Ashby said the parent company "has worked out a number of contingencies," in the event of a GECAS pullout, including delivery transfers. Ashby also reported that new chief executive Bruce Lakefield fully intends to continue former CEO David Siegel's plans for RJ development at Express.

NYT's DC Bureau Chief Spouts Conventional Wisdom on GOP Losing Tax Debate; Says All Rates Will Rise
New York Times Washington bureau chief David Leonhardt appeared on The Diane Rehm Show on NPR Friday and purveyed Washington's conventional wisdom about how Republicans were losing the battle of the "fiscal cliff." Leonhardt also foresaw "the end of the great era of American tax cutting."
After Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal brought up Republican Rep. Tom Cole taking Obama's position, Leonhardt responded: "And that is a very big deal because while the fiscal cliff talks at most have been happening behind the scenes, what President Obama has talked about the most in public is pushing Congress to vote on this extension of the Bush-era tax rates for, he says, 98 percent of the American people. The fact that Tom Cole is a powerful Republican in the House, has said, yeah, let's go ahead with that and then deal with the top 2 percent later. It would be a big victory for President Obama and something that I think many Democrats and outside observers did not expect him to get quite as easily is it looks like it might be on the verge of happening."
Host Rehm asked some 16 minutes in: "And just to let our listeners know, Grover Norquist will be a guest here on this program on Monday. How much of a backlash is he likely to generate against those who step away from the pledge?"
Leonhardt: "Oh, he will certainly try to generate a backlash against them. He's been very clear about that. I think the real question here is, are we at the end of the great era of American tax cutting? We in The New York Times today have a big project where we looked at total tax rates, federal, state and local. And what we discovered is that for the vast majority of Americans, nearly all affluent people, nearly all middle-class people, not all poor people – people are paying considerably less in overall taxes than they were, not only in 1980 but even after the initial Reagan tax cuts. We've had basically 30 years of mostly tax cutting. That's a big reason why we have a deficit, right? Democrats have won on spending. We've increased spending. Republicans have won on taxes. We've lowered taxes. We're left with a deficit. And I think the question is. are we at the end of that era? And the fact that we're seeing Tom Cole and some of this discomfort with the Grover no-new-taxes stuff raises the possibility that, in fact, Americans are going to side, you know what, I like low taxes, but I'm not willing to trade getting rid of the safety net, getting rid of Medicare, as we know it, for lower taxes."
In response to a caller about 43 minutes in who declared "at some point, the middle class is going to pay," Leonhardt suggested the rich had had quite enough tax cuts for now and that everyone must eventually pay more in taxes: "I agree. At some point, the middle class is going to have to pay more. You can't solve the long-term deficit just with tax increases on the affluent. I think that if you look at the trends of the last 30 years, taxes are falling, by far the most on upper-income people, by far. And so there is an argument that you start there. That's the argument that the White House is making. I think one of the really interesting questions here is is Obama willing to go over the cliff? And we were talking at the beginning of the show is how the -- about how the election had affected this debate. And I think it's possible that the biggest way it will ultimately affect the debate is Obama will be willing to go off the cliff because he doesn't have to run for office ever again. And going off the cliff means you have all the tax cuts go away. It is wonderful for the deficit. It does -- it almost eliminates the medium-term deficit. It doesn't deal with the long-term health care cost, Medicare deficit."

Americans and Chinese grow more wary of each other
As U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare for their first summit on Friday, tensions between the publics of these two superpowers are on the rise.
American attitudes toward China have turned sharply negative over the last two years. According to new Pew Research Center poll findings not yet released in a report, 52% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of China, while just 37% express a favorable view. In 2011, the balance of opinion was just the opposite – 51% held a favorable opinion, while just 36% gave China an unfavorable rating.
Americans are especially concerned about the economic threat from China. A 2012 Pew Research Center poll found majorities of Americans said it was a very serious problem to have the loss of U.S. jobs to China; the large U.S. debt held by China; and the U.S. trade deficit with China (the poll was conducted in collaboration with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and other partners – see here for more information).
For their part, the Chinese increasingly see the U.S. in a negative light as well. In spring 2010, a few months after a visit to China by President Obama, 58% of Chinese expressed a favorable opinion of the U.S. Today, more than half of Chinese hold an unfavorable view (53% have an unfavorable view v. 40% favorable view).
Still, aspects of American soft power remain popular. In 2012, 73% of the Chinese public said they admire the U.S. for its scientific and technological achievements. And 52% of those surveyed in this one-party state said they like American ideas about democracy.
Interestingly, in the 2013 poll, young people in both countries express more positive views of the other. Half of Chinese under age 30 give the U.S. a favorable rating, while just 41% of 30-49 year-olds and 27% of those 50 and older hold this view. Similarly, a 57%-majority of Americans under 30 express a favorable opinion of China, compared with 35% of 30-49 year-olds and 27% of people 50 and older.
Here are more detailed results and survey methodology.

I believe that the younger generations may provide the portals necessary for countries to stop fighting and communicating on new levels. They are not buying the "enemy" concept, esecially with everyone chatting on the internet.
Since we have become a Global Village….the old paradigm of having the need for "enemies" is really getting old. There is a better way…many ways of keeping our Planet alive and well and having evreyone find their potentials, and share in the responsibility of creating a world that actually works. Do we really need all the old rhetoric or is it possible that we can actually evolve – finally. As humanity discovers the controlling aspects of all goverments and gets tired of the same old movie, same destruction, same soap operas, same endings…. they will use their courage in the most creative and conscious ways.
China is a mirror of our own county in many ways…now powerful in its consumerism, yet many are simple people who need simple basic freeedoms..Just like in the US. Humans are incredible when given the opportunity to do what each one does best. Time for rewrite…
I believe Americans don't like China due to several reasons, such as cyber attacks and economic threat (as what the reports says)
Chinese views of America has turned bad in last 2 years because of America's military strategy, role in East and South China Sea disputes, and some bias against China.
Americans and Chinese have totally different views about these issues.
Americans sees China as a growing threat, and Chinese think America is suppressing and discrediting her.
Part of this problem is caused by media's propagandas. The cyber attack issue isn't news, but some people just want to bring it out and exaggerate the facts, and it's hard to tell the purpose of it. What we know is these bad news are giving a hard time to both White House and Beijing.
Let's hope there is more trust between two nations. Peace.

text: Politics 4 January 2010 Nick Clegg, kingmaker? The Lib Dems' options in a hung parliament must not be looked at in isolation Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The fight for the general election has begun, and talk of a possible hung parliament continues to rumble in the background. Amid the rhetoric about fighting "every inch of the way" (as Gordon Brown said yesterday), Jackie Ashley says in the Guardian this morning that behind the scenes, politicians from both camps are discussing the options for compromise. A kingmaker may be emerging: Nick Clegg. Clegg has already said that, in the event of a hung parliament, he would back whichever party had won. But in our archaic voting system, this might not be clear-cut -- the Conservatives could win more votes than Labour but not quite enough to secure more parliamentary seats. In this eventuality, Clegg must decide whom to back. This poses yet another set of questions for Brown's beleagured leadership. As Ashley writes: Clegg [would not] find it easy to agree a power-sharing deal with Brown himself: the gap in style and age is just too great. So Labour ministers are talking of a scenario in which, if no party won the election, Brown might stand down quickly. He would then be replaced by a more Lib-friendly leader, prepared to go further on constitutional reform; and a deal would be agreed, leading to that "realignment of the left" that has long been a staple of Guardian columns. The New Statesman has consistently argued for a progressive realignment. As our leader argues this week, Labour will always be the more natural ally of the Lib Dems. It's an interesting debate whether, in the event of a hung parliament, Brown's departure would be a requirement for a Lib-Lab pact. Quite apart from the personal contrasts between Clegg and Brown, there is the problem of image. Some might argue that the public's frustration with Labour has come from disillusionment with the political system as a whole. But Brown has, in many ways, come to be emblematic of a tired government. Could the Lib Dems really be seen to be propping him up? As my colleague George Eaton pointed out last week, Brown's tribalism may preclude a harmonious pact in any event, despite his apparent attempt to court the Lib Dems on the Andrew Marr show yesterday. At PoliticalBetting, Mike Smithson suggests that James Purnell could be the man for the job, being "of the same generation as Clegg . . . [and] set to retain his Stalybridge seat". Certainly, Purnell's resignation last summer separated him from the current leadership of Labour -- as opposed to Harriet Harman or David Miliband, other names that have been touted. But these arguments, by focusing on the Lib Dems and the decision to be made by Clegg, risk overlooking Labour and Brown's own psychology. While a hung parliament would not present a victory in the usual sense of the word, it's entirely possible that Brown -- who has already described Labour as the underdog in this campaign ("When you are behind in the polls you have got to regard yourself as the fighter") -- could view the fight back from crushing defeat as an endorsement of his ability to lead the country in a power-sharing agreement. The latest YouGov poll for the Telegraph showed the Conservatives with a lead over Labour of 35 points to 26. It remains to be seen whether the lead narrows further and a hung parliament becomes a reality. In any event, the multifaceted discussion of Brown's leadership looks set to run and run.

VIDEO: Ryan Seacrest Asks Rob Pattinson About K-Stew
Awww, apparently Ryan Seacrest crossed the line last night when he asked about the burning question of the night: What's going on with Robsten?
The talk show host sat down with New Moon star Rob Pattinson at last night's Los Angeles premiere and some major awkwardness ensued!
When Seacrest asked RPattz about his co-star Kristen Stewart, he was immediately cut off and told the interview was over!
Ryan later tweeted about the incident, saying,
"Robert pattison is class act. However the rep he was with yanked him off the air and off the mic when when I asked about kristen. Unreal!"

Students Getting Free Lunch
Outstanding teachers who did a tremendous job with our son who has some special needs. GV's Special Education teachers were wonderful. I believe because of their assistance, my son was very successful making it through elementary school.
My daughter has completed first grade with Mrs. Johnson this year and it was the best experience. She had a wonderful year in Kindergarden as well. We turned down Rosa Parks to stay at Glenn's Valley because of the teachers, staff, and parents. It truly is a wonderful school system.
My son loves Glenns Valley and therefore I love it! 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Wolfe is the best, thank you for making my child feel welcome
My child is now in the 3rd grade with Mrs. Hall. What an awesome teacher! She has expanded my child's interest, above and beyond the standard core subjects, in national & international travel. The teacher is also teaching the children some time management skills this year by setting weekly homework expectations as opposed to only daily expectations. This is our best year with GV so far.
We moved into this district at the beginning of the school year and I absolutely love this school. My son has Asperger's/ADHD and his general education teacher, special education teacher, and the principal have worked so hard with him. I truly appreciate what they have been able to accomplish within just one year, and I look forward to the two more years he has left.
I am so proud of the hard work Mrs Osborne and her staff have done to make G V a school that is so connected to the community.The tower at G V is a great example of the hard work the school has done to keep the family values and the history of the founders of G V alive.Not many schools in Marion county can go back to the original history of the school along with the legacy of families who supported the school.Thanks to Mrs Osbornes hard work in researching the schools history and getting the tower created by work from the G V students to stand as a marker to the values this school has represented over the years.
There is a positive pervasive spirit that begins with the prinicipal, Mrs. Osborne and radiates throughout this wonderful school! We could not imagine using our tax dollars for a better purpose than to support this outstanding school.
the teachers are very wonderful with the kids, teach them family values. very pleasant people.
Glenns Valley has an amazing, caring staff! I am proud to be a part of the Glenns Valley Family!!
Glenns Valley is a great school with great teachers, support staff, and parents! I am very proud to be at Glenns Valley!
I have had four children in Glenn's Valley and I love it! While many children in my neighborhood opted for the new charger school in the neighborhood, I stuck with GV because they have been so awesome I had no reason to leave. My kids' teachers are always concerned and involved. They communicate well with me, and the principal and support staff have always been more than supportive. I love GV!
Glenns Valley has some amazing teachers and support staff. I am very proud to say that my kids attned Glenns Valley.
My 2nd grader was diagnosed on the autism spectrum before he was enrolled in preschool at Glenns Valley. They helped us so much - with transportation, full day Kindergarted at no charge to me, etc. He has thrived! The principal and the teachers are wonderful. I can't say enough great things about Glenns Valley!
Where you involved w/the school?? example-room mom, PTA, lunch w/your children? In order for the teachers to get to know you, you need to be involved w/the children and their class room. As far as the Spanish, I could not disagree more, this is a element. school...art is a form of communication and expanding their brains to learn more...they can take Spanish at the middle school...we live in America...as long as their english is ok, let kids be kids!
I love this school, both of my kids have done very well. The teacher and student interaction is GREAT from what I see. As for the principal I believe she does a wonderful job, she steps in when needed and I think it's a good sign meaning that she let's the teachers and instructors do their jobs. The assistant principal does a great job as well. I am very pleased to have my kids there. After all I was an EAGLE as well!!
Unfortunately, I decided I had to send my children elsewhere. I was very disappointed with the leadership of Glenns Valley. While the principal was very attentive during discussions, no problems were ever resolved. There are some teachers who seem to be working toward the benefit of the children, but for the most part it seems like an us against them situation.
I agree that the full-day kindergarten program is awesome! I have a son in kindergarten and a daughter in the 5th grade. My son is being challenged by his teacher & loves the school. My daughter was a straight 'A' student the entire time! I think the grading scale prepares the student for the middle school level. I have heard that Glenn's Valley's students are the most prepared kids in the district when they start 6th grade. There was a boy that was picking on my daughter on the bus & I got immediate results from the top 3 people in charge. I am not concerned with the school not teaching foreign language, because they will learn it in middle & high schools.
I agree that the full-day kindergarten program is awesome. This is our first experience at Glenns Valley, and I am very impressed. The teacher is wonderful and so good with the kids. I have another daughter in 4th grade, and this is her first year there and probably her last. Maybe it's mostly due to the age of the kids, but there have been numerous discipline issues, and my daughter is very frustrated with this. I think the teachers have to spend a significant amount of time trying to control the class vs. instruction, and I'm worried that my daughter is falling behind. Earlier this year, a field trip was cancelled because of the poor behavior of a few students. There were other field trips that were talked about during Back to school night that sounded great, but I haven't heard anything about them, with the exception of one, since.
my children attend Glenns Valley. This is their first year and will be their last. I am not impressed in the least bit. I think that the grading scale used is absolutely ridiculous for elementary aged children. They setting the children up to fail. Some of the teachers are very nice , but for the most part they are very unfriendly. I find it very unorganized and a lack of school spirit. The school my children came from were teaching Spanish. They had art for half the year and Spanish the second half. they do not teach any foreign language at this school. They have art as one of their specials. I would rather my children learn a second language than know how to paint. Let's get with the times here.
Our daughter attends all day Kindergarten at this school. We were very impressed with the preparation process for the kindergartners, they held a very in depth information night for the parents and students, plus held one on one meetings for the parents and the children with their teacher. Our daughters teacher is very involved with the students and though she can be a bit tough on the kids, our daughter seems to be learning a lot from her. Contrary to the other review, we find Mrs. Fischer (the principle) to be very much involved with the students. She called my husband to let him know she would be giving our daughter an award for a fundraiser she participated in and she met with her and each of the other winners to present their award. Unfortunately, they do tend to ask for money quite a bit through book fairs and other fundraisers.
My daughter attends this school and seems to enjoy herself. She is still very young and dosen't quite understand the benefits to a great education. There is a lot of disorganized things that go on here and the relationship with teachers is strictly based on who your kids teacher is that year. The pricipal while nice and friendly seems very uninvolved with the students except maybe some trouble makers. She is unaware of who my child is what grade she is in or whose class she is in. She has even made comments about my other children I have 4 that attend another school that she enjoys having them there. Excuse me my kids don't go there! My daughter has to stay in the public school system for now because of her learning disabilities and that is the only reason that she is still there. Ran out of room.

In light of favorable results from the Phase 1-2 trial of MDV 3100 for advanced prostate cancer, a Phase 3 trial is enrolling at sites in the US, Canada, South America, UK, Europe, Australia, and South Africa. Results from the earlier trial are published online by the UK medical journal The Lancet.
Phase 3 Trial of MDV 3100 Underway
Medivation and Astellas are enrolling patients in a Phase 3 clinical trial of MDV3100 in men with progressive disease following docetaxel treatment. Known as AFFIRM, the randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-national trial is evaluating MDV3100 at a dose of 160 mg taken orally once daily in men with metastatic prostate cancer who were previously treated with docetaxel-based chemotherapy.
The primary endpoint of the trial is overall survival; secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, safety and tolerability. The AFFIRM study is being conducted at sites in Argentina, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Spain, UK and U.S. Information about patient eligibility and enrollment can be obtained by visiting www.affirmtrial.com or calling the AFFIRM study hotline toll-free in the U.S. and Canada at 1-888-782-3256.
Details of the Phase 3 trial can also be seen by visiting the US government site: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=MDV3100
Check this page for updated search results for MDV100 at clinicaltrials.gov
How Does this Drug Work?
MDV 3100 is a "novel triple-acting oral androgen receptor antagonist." The trial whose results are reported in the Lancet April 15 was for men with progressive, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. According to the published results, MDV3100 demonstrated anti-tumor activity in patients with late-stage prostate cancer as evaluated by reductions in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, radiographic findings and circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts. Anti-tumor effects were observed in patients who were resistant to standard anti-androgen treatments, as well as in patients who had progressed following chemotherapy.

1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Yogurt Sauce
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 diced cucumber, peeled and seeded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons fresh, chopped mint

2 minced shallots
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder

2 tsp. fennel seed
1 tsp. chile powder
2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
1 package of Tandoori Nann Original (2 nann per package)
Preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
To make the yogurt sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until assembling the burgers.
To make patties, in a large bowl, combine cream cheese, wine, shallots, garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, garam masala powder, chile powder, fennel seed, salt and pepper. Mix in beef, handling it as little as possible. Form the beef mixture into 6 oval patties of equal size and refrigerate until ready to grill.
To make curried corn, melt the butter in a fire-proof skillet. Add garlic, shallots and cook for 2 minutes. Add corn kernels, garam masala powder, curry powder, salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Mix in cream cheese. Add grape tomatoes and cook for 1 more minute. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, set aside and keep warm.
Brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, over a medium-high heat 3-5 minutes. Flip patties and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until done to preference.
Cut each nann into 3 triangles for a total of 6, ensuring that each piece has an enclosed seam. Place bread on the rack and warm both sides.
To assemble garam masala burgers, open pockets and spread 1 tbs. of yogurt sauce in each pocket. Top with a burger and then add 1-2 tbs. of curried corn. Serve immediately.
This recipe has a blend of aromatic and rich flavors making for a very tasty and delicious pocket burger!

Focusing on Small Banks
I was lounging around Chez Melvin this week contemplating the Orioles' playoff chances when the Voo-Doo Professor sent me a spreadsheet of small banks with less than a billion dollars in assets, one of his latest projects. Dr. Mark McNabb, assistant director of the MS Finance Program at the University of Texas at Dallas, has apparently been looking at the same set of facts that I used to establish my Trade of the Decade thesis. Increased compliance costs are going to make it difficult for these banks going forward, so they are going to have to seek merger partners soon.
"With the writers of Dodd-Frank favoring the same industry leaders that required a bailout," McNabb said, "the small banks will become targets as they will find it easier to sell out than comply with the weight of regulatory excess and loss of business discretion and judgment to pursue opportunities in the marketplace."...606 more words left in this article.

Student Fieldwork in Anthropology
Legacy Grants to Comprehensive Account of 33 Years of Student Fieldwork in Anthropology
"The purpose of anthropology is to make the exotic familiar and the familiar exotic." This quotation by anthropologists George and Louise Spindler opens Close Up and Far Away: A Database of Student Fieldwork, Research, and Internship Projects in Anthropology,
Ithaca College, 1973-2006. The compiler and author of this extensive compendium, anthropology professor Joel Savishinsky, Charles A. Dana Professor in the Social Sciences, completed this project with the support of the first "legacy grant" from the Office of the Provost. This new program of reduced teaching loads was designed to support faculty, nearing the end of their own careers, as they pursue special projects intended to benefit their department, their school, or the institution as a whole. Savishinsky explained: "I had the good fortune to join the department at its birth, and, now that I am approaching my own retirement, I was able to take on a kind of mini life review, to look back over a third of a century of my time at IC, two generations of students and faculty, to take stock of what we created."
But there was a practical motivation in undertaking this review as well. Since the earliest days, the anthropology department encouraged, indeed required, its students to plunge directly into the field to gain hands-on experience in the discipline; however, as Savishinsky explains: "I had the realization that [although] our department had done pioneering work at the College in creating programs in experiential learning, we'd never kept systematic records of what we or our students had accomplished." So Savishinsky spent the 2006-7 academic year delving into old files and institutional databases, contacting former students, and exhorting his colleagues to do the same. The result of this work is a database that reports on the experiences of 346 students who carried out 438 projects in 22 states and 54 foreign countries and territories on issues and topics from all of anthropology's branches.
Ithaca College anthropology faculty have mentored hundreds of projects in the local area, in settings as diverse as public schools, nursing homes, organic farms, and medical clinics. The faculty have also run field schools in the Bahamas, Hawaii, Alaska, Nicaragua, Panama, and upstate New York. Some students have gone on to graduate work, while others have taken positions in fields such as education, social work, and public service.
Savishinsky undertook the project in part to see if the department had "fulfilled a promise we'd made in our earliest mission statements," a promise not only to educate their students but to "provide them with opportunities to do original scientific and applied work and to prepare them to be engaged citizens of a global community." The database bears out Savishinsky's conviction that the department has kept its promise, and this is an enduring legacy to leave for future generations of IC anthropology students and faculty.

On Dec. 19, 1954, Marvin married Janice Olsen from Hayti. The couple owned and operated the consistently successful Lake City Dairy Farm south of Watertown with Ferdy and Carol Tesch. When asked the question by the Watts News, June, 1969, "What makes a dairy farm successful?" he replied "Good management, sound judgment and modern methods." Marvin conducted his life and business in accordance to these guiding principles.

He devoted 42 years to the Pelican Township Board, helped organize the Codington County Towns and Township Board and also the South Dakota State Towns and Township Board which joined the National Towns and Townships Organization.

Marvin especially enjoyed restoring vintage Allis Chalmers tractors with his friends Larry Redlin and Craig Buss.

Well, he's really liking the new Tom Rob Smith Secret Speech and the latest Sophie Kinsella . . . .oh the baby. We brought him a bunch of books, but the one that seems to work best for him at 3 months is Art for Baby, an oh-so-chic oversized board book from Candlewick of black-and-white images from contemporary art (Keith Haring, Bridget Reilly, etc.) He was magnetized by this one line drawing of an almost full-sized face of a dot-eyed woman with long hair. I'm sorry I don't remember the artist. The more abstract images in the book didn't do a whole lot for him, but I was amazed at the connection he clearly made to a stylized representation of a human face. Do we arrive with that built in?

Miles is adorable. What a cutie! Congratulations.
Yes-we're born with a fascination for faces. There's been some fantastic research on babies and faces. There was a study in which researches arranged three dots into the shape of a face, and babies liked looking at that arrangement over the other arrangements of the three dots.
There's a very cute series of board books called Busy Books...(Busy Pandas, Busy Kitties, Busy Chickens, etc). Color photographs of adorable animals and very simple text.

After playing in his 6th game, Grigorenko and the Sabres did use up a year of his ELC, however because he played in less than 23 games (He played in 22), he did not "accrue a season." So again, even though playing more than 5 games would burn the first year of Grigorenko's entry level contract, it would not immediately register 2013 as an "accrued year of service" for him when figuring out UFA eligibility. In the short season, an NHL player must be dressed for 23 games for it to count as an accrued year. What this means since he played less than 23 games this season, Grigorenko will still need 7 years of service before being eligible for unrestricted free agency.
So ya, we kinda screwed up this year with him. But I choose to see the positive side of this as:
A) We save a year of his free agency status.
B) While he didn't play as much as we all hoped or with players we would've liked, he did get some experience being a NHLer.
C) Hopefully this will light a fire under him and we see him control the Q. It's playoff time for them so Grigo will be thrown into the fire.
I believe this to be true, I remember the 41 game cut off in full seasons coming up before. While the ELC year hurts he still needs seven more years before a UFA.

Adrenal Extract
In this Article
How does Adrenal Extract work?The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys. They regulate the body's response to stress by making hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol. People use adrenal extract taken from animals in the hope that the extract will function like the body's adrenal gland. But it's not known whether the human body can absorb adrenal extract or how it might work.
Are there safety concerns?Adrenal extract is UNSAFE when injected. There have been at least 50 reports of serious infection at the injection site.
There isn't enough information available about the safety of adrenal extract when taken by mouth. But, there are serious concerns. Adrenal extract is made from adrenal glands gathered from slaughterhouses, and possibly from sick or diseased animals. Do not use adrenal extract from countries where a condition known as bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE) has been reported, more commonly known as "mad cow disease." Countries where BSE has been reported include Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Oman, Belgium, and others. If you can't tell if the adrenal extract is from a country without BSE, don't use it.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of adrenal extract during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Low immune system function: If your body is not able to fight disease normally because of low immune system function (for example, you have HIV/AIDS or you are taking medicines to prevent your body from rejecting an organ transplant) you might be more likely than other people to become infected if you take adrenal extract.
Dosing considerations for Adrenal Extract.The appropriate dose of adrenal extract depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for adrenal extract. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/7/2013 (1504 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park, destroyed in the 2011 flood on Lake Manitoba, is finally open for business, but only for day use, the province said today.
"The damage from the 2011 flood was severe, but the day-use areas of the park are once again open to the public," Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh said in a release today. "I want to thank staff for their hard work in getting the park ready to go and I hope Manitobans will take the time this summer to visit the park and take advantage of the restored beach area."
The province said work done to reopen the Lake Manitoba park included demolition of all buildings destroyed by the flood, cleanup of all flood debris, restoration of the main park entry road and parking lot, shoreline and beach cleanup and the construction of washroom facilities.
The restoration cost about $300,000, Mackintosh said.
Future work to redevelop the park includes new campsites and a playground, a picnic shelter, a campground office and a new water supply system, as well as electrical and plumbing repairs.
"We are committed to rebuilding this park and ensuring people are able to enjoy it for years to come," Mackintosh said. "Planning is underway to ensure people are once again able to camp at St. Ambroise Beach by 2015."
Mackintosh also announced $2.4 million in upgrades for Duck Mountain Provincial Park near Swan River.
They include the construction of a new, modern washroom building and playground in the day use area at Blue Lake campground and a new waste-transfer station at Shilladay Lake.
Future plans for the park call for ATV trail upgrades to improve water crossings and trail routing on the Mossberry Lake Trail, refurbishment of the main dock used by cottagers at Wellman Lake, new campground offices at Blue Lake and Childs Lake, additional campsite electrification at the Blue Lake campground and construction of new waste transfer stations at Wellman and Whitefish lakes.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Thank you for submitting your question to Just Answer
Your dog clearly has an ear infection and needs proper veterinary care.
Unfortunately, many ear infections are not treated as seriously as they should. One of the problems is that the external ear canal of dogs has two distinct sections, the vertical (outer portion) and the horizontal portion next to the ear drum. You can only see a little way down into the vertical ear canal, and you cannot see the horizontal portion without the use of an otoscope (the instrument used to look at the ear drum). Too often, veterinarians diagnose an ear infection, send the client home with medicine and fail to recheck the ear(s) when the period of treatment is over. Many times, the medication will quiet the infection in the vertical ear canal, and provide some relief at the level of the horizontal ear canal. But, if any debris or infection remains in the horizontal ear canal, the infection is guaranteed to return. The only way to know if the initial treatment was effective, is to look into the ear canal with an otoscope.
Also, the most common cause of recurrent ear infections, even when they have been properly treated is allergies. Most allergens causing allergies in dogs are inhaled; dust mites, mold, and pollen. So, to answer your specific questions. The flakey skin you see is probably due to scratching and inflammation secondary to the ear infection. Any topical antibiotic ointment would probably be beneficial and certainly due no harm as long as it appears to be working. However, the bigger issue is the repeat infection. You need to have the ears rechecked. Be sure that the veterinarian uses an otoscope to visualize the ear drum. Ask him/her if the horizontal ear canal is clear. If not have him/her show you how to safely flush the ear canal. If flushing is needed to remove debris in the ear canal follow your veterinarians protocol for flushing and treating the infection. Then, be sure to have the ear rechecked at the end of the treatment period to be sure there is no longer any debris or inflammation in the ear canal. If deberis still remains your veterinarian may need to anesthetize your dog to flush the ear canal using a syringe and catheter to be sure to remove all debris. If there is any remaining inflammation, then the type of medication being used may need to be changed or a culture of the ears taken to see if there is resistant bacteria or yeast. Finally, if the infection and any debris has been documented to be cleared up, and the infection comes back, then it may be worthwhile to test for inhalant allergies. I know this is long winded, but it is important. I've seen too many dogs suffer needlessly because of not following through on proper care. Hope this helped

No doctor patient relationship is formed by this communication. This advice is no substitute for a complete physical examination and appropriate diagnostics provided by a licensed veterinarian.
After seeing the results of less than adequate treatment result in extreme suffering in too many dogs, I cannot in good conscience advise other than to have her seen by a veterinarian.
The ear is a delicate organ, it is not amenable to home remedies.

If you're looking for quirky independent comedies to take home, this week is the week for you. Our DVD/Blu-Ray roundup is chock full of them. Here's my takes on the week's new home video releases.
Defendor – A newly resurgent Woody Harrelson anchors this vigilante tale (oddly enough dropping the same week as the very similar Kick-Ass hits theaters) as a mentally addled defender of the proletariat struggling to rid his hometown from Captain Industry, his possibly imaginary arch-nemesis. Caught this in the theater and enjoyed it a lot, certainly worth taking home.
The Slammin' Salmon – The guys in Broken Lizard are in a pretty unique place in the movie biz – they work as a troupe, sticking together throughout all of their movies, and their formula works – Super Troopers is a raunch comedy classic. Their latest effort, The Slammin' Salmon, has one of the weirdest premises I've heard in a while – a seafood restaurant owned by a retired boxer has to make a ludicrous amount of money to pay off gambling debts to the Japanese yakuza – but the Broken Lizard guys wring every last drop of yocks out of it in this non-stop gagfest.
Pirate Radio – This imported comedy (retitled from The Boat That Rocked) is kind of stodgy but based on an intriguing true story. An illegal radio station anchored in international waters broadcasts rock & roll to the British Isles, back when the BBC was playing nothing of the sort. A pretty amazing ensemble cast of character actors have brought this some pretty good reviews, but you may need to be an old fogey to truly appreciate it.
Oh My God – This documentary may qualify as an "unintentional comedy" – filmmaker Peter Rodger spent years traveling the globe asking people to describe God to him. Unfortunately, some of those people are David Copperfield, Seal and anti-videogame crusader Jack Thompson. Yeah, I don't know about you but if I was trying to divine the true nature of the divine, I wouldn't talk to a dude who does illusions. I would, however, talk to the guy who gets to bang Heidi Klum, so maybe he's onto something there.
