Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
My dog hacks and coughs and will appear to gag and spit something up, but nothing comes up. She has been doing this for a while.
Dr. Deb:
How long has Tifi been doing this? How is her appetite and thirst - normal or decreased?
I noticed it a couple months ago but it only happened once or twice a week now its happens multiple times a day, no she eats and drinks regularly.
Has your veterinarian ever mentioned a heart murmur? When was her last visit to the vet?
They never checked for one, her last visit was in July.
When I asked about the hacking I was told it could be allergies, but now it is happening more frequently.
How is her energy level, has it decreased, and if so, how recently?
It could be allergies, but given Tifi's age, I would be worried about heart disease, or infection.
What regions of the country are you located? Has she been tested for heartworm disease in the past 1-year?
She is still very energetic, I'm in the southern region, yes she was tested for heart worms and she came up positive. They gave me heart guard to give her but I ran out of it and I couldn't afford to buy anymore.
How long ago did she come up positive?
At her last visit?
How many months of Interceptor did she get?
Did they determine that there were no adult worms in her heart?
No they never said whether the worms were adult or not.
As the cough has increased in frequency, I would recommend a vet visit for a physical exam. She may have heart disease as a result of the heart worm disease, or she has adult heart worms growing in her heart, or she has some form of bronchitis or respiratory infection.

text: Spies Finishes Indy Test Henny Ray Abrams | July 2, 2008Ben Spies finished the two-day test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the second fastest time after getting knocked from the top spot when he left the track early to catch a flight home to Dallas. Riding the Rizla Suzuki GSV-R800, Spies held the fastest lap of 1:43.0912 when he called it a day with about an hour to run. At the time, he had over .34 seconds on Ducati test rider Niccolo Canepa. But as the temperatures cooled, the Italian heated up, clocking a 1:43.0069, the fastest ever lap of the 16-turn, 2.618-mile MotoGP course and less than a tenth faster than Spies. Spies wasn't aware of the time when he left the track and was happy with the work he and the team had completed. Ostensibly it was a tire test in advance of the September 14 Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix. But for Spies, the only rider among the seven testers who will take part in the race, it was a head start on what will be his third grand prix. Spies' U.S. debut will come in the July 20 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. "We got down to a reasonable lap time, not super-great, but it came in an actual race test, so that was good," Spies, the hardest worker on the track, said. He completed 100 laps on Tuesday and another 105 on Wednesday. "And the track's cooled down now. I've already quit riding and definitely wish I could go back out there, to throw a good lap time out. But we were focused on the race set-up and just getting laps in. And just hard to judge lap time-wise and where we're at." Spies and Canepa were joined by Erwan Nigon, riding a Michelin Honda; Olivier Jacque, on a Bridgestone Kawasaki; William Costes, on a Michelin Yamaha; Wataru Yoshikawa, on a Bridgestone Yamaha; and Nobu Aoki on a second Bridgestone Suzuki. "I think the Canepa guy goes very good, and it's obviously not like having Dani (Pedrosa) or Valentino (Rossi) or Casey (Stoner), or someone like that here, but I think we got going OK and just worked on putting a lot of laps together and did a couple of race stints today and just kind of fine tuning the bike to me and it was working out pretty good," Spies said. Spies didn't begin to feel comfortable during his debut in the British Grand Prix until he started sliding the rear tire halfway into the race. He's still searching for the limit, but was able to slide the rear with more confidence today. "Yeah, for sure, just finding the limits to everything, and definitely still haven't done that," he said. "I didn't even have one moment the whole two days. Two hundred laps and never anything that I was kind of like, 'That was close.' I'll save that for Laguna." There was more work to do with the electronics and traction control when he left England. It continued today, with more progress, which he thinks will benefit the team regulars. "We definitely took it a step further for me and hopefully for the team," he said. "We'll see when Chris (Vermeulen) and Loris (Capirossi) get back on the bike and see if they like what we kind of did. But definitely made it better for me. I'll be pretty comfortable when I get to Laguna to try to get up there." After the riders first laps, there was initial criticism of the Indy MotoGP track. The first part was dirty and slick and the final Turn 15-16 sequence was too stop-start. The riders later met with FIM safety boss Claude Danis and rider safety rep Franco Uncini. "It's getting better," Spies said. "There's more grip laid down, but the first section is definitely still slick, like rain. But the last part's getting better. All in all it is getting better, so we'll see what those European guys think when they get over here." Asked if the final sequence was Mickey Mouse, Spies hesitated before saying, "Yeah, a little bit." But he also said he'd offered his ideas "and they're going to use them in another corner and I'm not sure what they're going to do in the last corner, just kind of gave them my thoughts on it and they'll look into it."Lap Times (From IMS Live Timing): 1.

Staying fit a key for hunting success
Submitted: 10/03/2013
Ben Meyer
Managing Editor / Senior Reporter
- We call hunters and fishermen "sportsmen".
We also might think what they do isn't as physically difficult as other "sportsmen", like runners, swimmers, or football players.
But some people think that's no excuse for hunters to be out of shape.
Dean Bortz is an avid hunter from Arbor Vitae.
He began a more committed training routine while he was recovering from an arm injury in 2011.
He learned just how important fitness is for hunting success.
"I was overlooking it. I thought I was in decent shape. I was always able to get out there and do stuff. But now, I can see where I can do things better - you still get winded, you still get sweaty - but I can get up and down a hill now," says hunter Dean Bortz.
Bortz hopes more hunters will commit to being in good shape.
Working with a fitness instructor can help.
"I have a wonderful job here to help people meet their goal to do what they want to do in life. I think that's a wonderful thing, what you want to do in life," says Marshfield Clinic Woodruff Center Fitness Instructor Laura Stoffel.
One physician understands a reason why getting into shape is such a challenge.
"I think a lot of people are afraid to move. It's called kinesiophobia. It's just simply a fear of movement because they're afraid if they come in with pain, and they move, they're going to hurt more," says Marshfield Clinic Physical Medicine Physician Dr. Jim Mullen.
But most times, the opposite is true.
Especially for hunters, staying in motion before the season helps prevent injuries.

Rhinelander smoke flavoring factory catches fire
Submitted: 09/25/2017
- A Rhinelander factory that makes smoke flavoring caught fire early Monday morning.
Shortly before 6:00 a.m., Rhinelander, Crescent and Newbold Fire Departments responded to a fire at Red Arrow Products on Rhinelander's west side.
An employee says there were about eight workers inside at the time.
No one was injured.
"Flames were coming out of a conveyor area as high as the roof. We made an interior attack and knocked that flame down. Came in from the other side of the partition wall, then made another interior attack and knocked that down," says Chief Terry Williams.
As of 7:30 a.m. Monday morning, firefighters were still working to make sure the flames were out.

- Typically, most people avoid spending time in junk yards but one Minocqua couple finds beauty in turning old antiques into art.
Since 2012, the retirees opened up the Rusty Truck, a business that turns aged, rusted pieces into rustic furniture and art.
Owner Mike Gang says after he retired from being a firefighter, he wasn't going to let his hidden talent go to waste.
"I love seeing things and seeing what they could be. [Taking] old things and turning them into something that's useful and practical," said Mike.
Mike's wife Ruth Ann says she is more than happy to bring old memories to life with their creations.

Summer Slipping Away: Shoeder's Marine driver sees uptick in boats coming off the water

- With the push of a button and the whining of a winch, John Wendt singlehandedly symbolizes the end of a season.
"You see the changing of the leaves, I just love being out here every day," Wendt said.
Wednt hauls boats for Shoeder's RV & Marine in Rhinelander. Starting in September, he loads up fishing boats, pontoons, and jet skis and puts them away for the season.
"The weather's been nice, everybody doesn't want to put their boats away yet," Wendt said. "But as soon as the weather starts turning, that's when it'll hit the fan."

Rhinelander-area couple hopes to build Pizza Ranch franchise near Kwik Trip
Submitted: 09/25/2017
Play Video
- A large open lot on Rhinelander's east side could soon fill in with a chain restaurant.
Cory Moritz-Hoffmann and her husband hope to build a Pizza Ranch next to Kwik Trip on Eisenhower Parkway. The pair of former Pine Lake firefighters got the idea about six years ago when they first went to a Pizza Ranch in Iowa.
They considered pursing a franchise then, but it was more than they could afford at the time. About two years ago, the Hoffmanns contacted an investor and saw an opportunity to turn their dream into a reality.

Suburban Propane Partners L.P. (NYSE:SPH) filed Annual Report for the period ended 2010-09-25.
Suburban Propane Partners L.p. has a market cap of $1.94 billion; its shares were traded at around $55 with a P/E ratio of 15.3 and P/S ratio of 1.7. The dividend yield of Suburban Propane Partners L.p. stocks is 6.2%.SPH is in the portfolios of Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies LLC, Mario Gabelli of GAMCO Investors.
Highlight of Business Operations:Suburban Energy Finance Corporation, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, was formed on November 26, 2003 to serve as co-issuer, jointly and severally with the Partnership, of the Partnerships unsecured 6.875% senior notes due December 2013 (all of which were repurchased by the Partnership on March 23, 2010) and, subsequently, of the Partnerships unsecured 7.375% senior notes issued on March 23, 2010 and due March 15, 2020. Suburban Energy Finance Corporation has nominal assets and conducts no business operations.
We sell propane primarily to six customer markets: residential, commercial, industrial (including engine fuel), agricultural, other retail users and wholesale. Approximately 97% of the propane gallons sold by us in fiscal 2010 were to retail customers: 45% to residential customers, 28% to commercial customers, 7% to industrial customers, 5% to agricultural customers and 15% to other retail users. The balance of approximately 3% of the propane gallons sold by us in fiscal 2010 was for risk management activities and wholesale customers. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our propane revenues during fiscal 2010.
Historically, supplies of propane have been readily available from our supply sources. Although we make no assurance regarding the availability of supplies of propane in the future, we currently expect to be able to secure adequate supplies during fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2010, Targa Liquids Marketing and Trade (Targa) and Enterprise Products Operating L.P. (Enterprise) provided approximately 19% and 11% of our total propane purchases, respectively. The availability of our propane supply is dependent on several factors, including the severity of winter weather and the price and availability of competing fuels, such as natural gas and fuel oil. We believe that if supplies from Targa or Enterprise were interrupted, we would be able to secure adequate propane supplies from other sources without a material disruption of our operations. Nevertheless, the cost of acquiring such propane might be higher and, at least on a short-term basis, margins could be affected. Approximately 95% of our total propane purchases were from domestic suppliers in fiscal 2010.
In addition to competing with suppliers of other energy sources, our propane operations compete with other retail propane distributors. The retail propane industry is highly fragmented and competition generally occurs on a local basis with other large full-service multi-state propane marketers, thousands of smaller local independent marketers and farm cooperatives. Based on industry statistics contained in 2008 Sales of Natural Gas Liquids and Liquefied Refinery Gases, as published by the American Petroleum Institute in December 2009, and LP/Gas Magazine dated February 2010, the ten largest retailers, including us, account for approximately 38% of the total retail sales of propane in the United States. For fiscal years 2010 and 2009, no single marketer had a greater than 10% share of the total retail propane market in the United States. For fiscal year 2008 one marketer had more than a 10% share of the total retail propane market in the United States. Most of our customer service centers compete with five or more marketers or distributors. However, each of our customer service centers operates in its own competitive environment because retail marketers tend to locate in close proximity to customers in order to lower the cost of providing service. Our typical customer service center has an effective marketing radius of approximately 50 miles, although in certain rural areas the marketing radius may be extended by one or more satellite offices.
We market and distribute fuel oil, kerosene, diesel fuel and gasoline to approximately 55,000 residential and commercial customers in the northeast region of the United States. Sales of fuel oil and refined fuels for fiscal 2010 amounted to 43.2 million gallons. Approximately 67% of the fuel oil and refined fuels gallons sold by us in fiscal 2010 were to residential customers, principally for home heating, 4% were to commercial customers, 1% were to agricultural and 4% to other users. Sales of diesel and gasoline accounted for the remaining 24% of total volumes sold in this segment during fiscal 2010. Fuel oil has a more limited use, compared to propane, for space and water heating in residential and commercial buildings. We sell diesel fuel and gasoline to commercial and industrial customers for use primarily to propel motor vehicles.

I hope you air flow is adequate and in the right direction. You still might want to dig into your pocket and get that sheet f steel, hang it at an angle and have a bullet trap under it. Then stick your trash can catcher in front of it. Stray bullet problem solved and you get your lead back but first the air. You don't want all that fun and have to give it up because your nervous system goes whacky doodle from lead dust in your system.
Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern will, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

"The test will help us determine how viable this is for potential (department) use in the future," Arun Vemury, program manager at the Homeland Security department's Science and Technology branch, told USA Today. But this is no ordinary "test." The same newspaper reported September 10 that the "test" will cost taxpayers as much as $10 billion, and the high-tech firm Accenture has already received at least $185 million from the kitty for the "test":
Two years ago, another big corporation, Accenture, won potentially the largest contract in the Department of Homeland Security's short history. Accenture plans to use biometrics and other technology to process foreign visitors as they enter the country. The contract could run as long as 10 years and generate up to $10 billion for the company.
Accenture boasts on its corporate website that it has already created a model for iris scanning at airports abroad. "Accenture has worked with UK officials to create a biometrics-enabled gate at Heathrow Airport to move registered travelers through customs faster."
Civil libertarians say the fundamental problem with iris scans is the same as with many other high-tech "solutions" to the terrorist problem: They presume all people are guilty until proven innocent, making it one of the most costly and ineffective efforts directed at thwarting crimes. There's no evidence governments need the biometric data of all Americans to fight terrorism, they argue. While other Americans pooh-pooh the intrusion upon their privacy with the thought that "if I'm not guilty, then I have nothing to worry about," civil libertarians effectively argue that the guilty-until-proven innocent mentality means many Americans do in fact have something to worry about. The mentality has already led to great inconvenience for many travelers (and rendition to foreign jails followed by horrific torture for some innocent foreign-born fliers).
The biometric scanning and storage of everyone's iris scans and fingerprints in a government bureaucracy's database may not even be able to prevent a single act of terrorism. In fact, a Google search for terrorists arrested through use of biometric searches at airports comes up blank despite the test airports already open around the world. Biometric scans are designed to detect known terrorists using false identities. But none of the September 11 highjackers, for example, was on watch lists and all had immigrated legally using their actual names. Biometrics can do nothing to stop these first-time terrorists, something terrorist networks are already in the habit of using for their nefarious work.
Moreover, biometric scanning and maintaining these huge databases already constitute one of the nation's most expensive anti-terrorism systems. The multi-billion dollar biometric method of concentrating on everyone — hundreds of millions of people who must prove they are innocent before they can fly — can be contrasted with the far less expensive traditional crime-solving alternate of focusing upon finding the relatively few number of criminals. Traditional methods put the focus upon gathering evidence from the few potential terrorists guilty of planning harm, a far more cost-effective method than biometric scanning, and one which has a far better track record in locking up terrorists.

Bethesda's MMO The Elder Scrolls Online won't be short of gameplay, what with it combining the scope and scale of games like Skyrim with the populated and persistent multiplayer setting of an MMO like World of Warcraft. That doesn't mean that there won't be more stuff to come - and sooner rather than later.
In an interview with ShackNews, creative director Paul Sage has revealed that there will be additional content available almost from the launch of the game. "We always want to make sure there is something new right around the corner," he said. "Our plan is to have new content coming out on a really frequent basis. We want to make sure that people are really into the game and get to experience a lot of new things... I know that players are amazing in their ability to chew through content quickly, so we want to make sure there is a constant stream of goodies coming to them."
Some of this content will expand the game beyond the core storyline, which finds you battling the Daedric lord Molag Bal for possession of your soul. That's just a "launching point" says Sage. "You'll wrap up the main story in The Elder Scrolls Online at release and that leads into an even bigger story."
The Elder Scrolls Online is in development for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It's set for release in Spring 2014.

More Mistakes to Avoid When Renting Office Space
Is your company shopping for office space? If so, then it's important to avoid certain mistakes such as not reading the contact or getting too much/little space. There are other mistakes to avoid including the following ones:
1. Not learning about extra costs
Besides the actual rent, it's important to find out what extra costs are tacked on to the rent. That can include start up support, add-on such utilities, taxes, etc. These extra expenses can add up quickly, so it's important to make sure you know exactly what extra expenses your company will have to cover each item when it pays its rent.
This is important because it will help to avoid any major surprises. The total for the add-on can vary considerably, so it's just important to know what to expect.
2. Not considering the location
When choosing an office suit rental in Melbourne, Australia, you should consider offices in the central business district. The reason is that it will provide many benefits regarding transportation, banking, shopping, etc.
That said, you should still consider the specific establishments that are near your office. That includes ones such as restaurants, cafes, gyms, etc. This will provide your workers with everything they need if they want to buy some lunch or do a light workout.
Make sure also to find out which places your workers would like to be close to. That could help to guide you in selecting your company's next office space. Getting input will also give your employees a chance to provide input in a big decision the company is making.
3, Not researching the company
This is a critical step to make to avoid companies such as ones with a bad track record, customer service, etc. Look for any local stories about the companies, or negative online reviews that have been posted.
If you find a lot of negative feedback about a particular company, then you should probably consider avoiding it. There's a good chance that you could have a negative experience if other companies have been in that situation. On the other hand, companies with good reviews are a better bet.
These are just some of the mistakes you should try to avoid when searching for a Montreal office suite rental company. The key is to not only know what to do but also what not to do. It will help you find the best office space.

Pakistan - Authorities for Pakistan Railway have confiscated a church building in Lahore after Muslim leaders complained about the church ringing its bells and using loudspeakers to call Christians to prayer. Railways St. Andrew's Church was seized on April 28, and Christian employees of the Railway have been protesting the confiscation of their church property vehemently for the last several weeks. The Church Committee told ICC that the authorities had originally granted Christians written permission to use the building on Sundays for worship services. However, when the church began using its bells and loudspeakers to invite Christians to morning and evening prayer services, Muslim leaders complained that the church was interfering with their five-times a day call to prayer and thus insulting Islam. On April 28, Christians arrived at the church to find the doors sealed shut

Muslims being intolerant? That must be a lie. It's a religion of peace, that's what they always say right before they blow shit up and complain about being disrespected.

You know, there are two Islams in the world. One is what I call "Disneyland Islam" which exists in the mosques of America and Europe and which is promoted by individuals like you for the benefit of naive Westerners. I know you have honorable intentions.
The other Islam is the Real Islam or Islam of the Orient where Muslims don't give a shit if they play fair because they dominate and they have the competing religious groups (e.g. Christians) thoroughly intimidated and bullied into sub More..

BTW MuslimGirl, if you are right that Muslims in the West are not allowed to use loudspeakers to call for prayers I think that's a ridiculously small price for Muslims to pay. I mean considering the facts that mosques are being build with no restrictions, often against the wishes of the local population, it's a small price to pay. Religious minorities in Arabia and other brutal places of the world have to pay an extremely severe price for refusing to convert to Islam.
How about I force you and More..

Many people assume that the Food and Drug Administration tests genetically engineered foods for safety.
But as USA Today reports [2]:
Q: Does the FDA test these foods before they're allowed on the market?
A: No. Instead there is a voluntary consultation process. Genetically engineered foods are overseen by the FDA, but there is no approval process. Foods are presumed to be safe unless the FDA has evidence to the contrary, Jaffe says. The FDA "has to show that there may be a problem with the food, as opposed to the company needing to prove it's safe to FDA's satisfaction before it can get on the market," he says.
Given that genetically engineered foods have been linked to obesity [3], cancer [4], liver failure [5], infertility [6]and all sorts of other diseases (brief videos here [7] and here [8]), the burden should be on the Monsanto and the other gmo producers to prove it's safe.


text: Thanks for the info. A 120V N.O. valve and the 120V version of the A-419 looks like the ticket. Did you use any thermal grease? Would it be wise to use a rubber stopper, cork with a hole, etc. to hold the probe in place. I remember my dad having something like silly putty but I think it was for electrical purposes. Since I think it was rubber insulation that would work too but I don't know what it was.

Interesting notes from the third round
NORTON, Mass. — A few key notes now that the third round is complete at the Deutsche Bank Championship:
Bubba Watson can attribute part of his one-stroke lead through 54 holes to the way he's dominated the par 5s at TPC Boston. He's played them in a combined 10 under which ties a career low for Watson on par 5s through three rounds.
Jason Day hasn't been quite as opportunistic on the par 5s as Watson, but the young Aussie has played them in 8 under. Half of that sub-par total has come on the second hole which Day eagled in the third round and birdied in each of the first two. It's the first time in the 23-year-old's career that he has been 4 under through three rounds on any one hole on the PGA TOUR.
Phil Mickelson fired the day's low round of 63 that included an eagle and six birdies -- the latter matching his total in the first two rounds combined.
Ernie Els bogeyed his first hole of the Deutsche Bank Championship but did not make another bogey until the fourth hole of the third round. That streak of 38 bogey-free holes is his longest streak since the 2003 Mercedes Championships (44 straight).

Although they may shine for many billions of years, stars like our sun don't last forever and when it's time for them to fizzle away into the night they most certainly don't go gently -- but the result can be quite beautiful.
PHOTOS: Hubble's Latest Mind Blowing Cosmic Pictures
The image above, a composite of optical data from Hubble and x-ray observations from NASA's Chandra observatory, shows the brilliant structure of planetary nebula NGC 2392 -- a.k.a. the "Eskimo nebula."
Named for their supposed resemblance to planetary disks in early telescopes, planetary nebulae are created when stars up to about 8 times the mass of our sun run out of fuel during the final stages of their natural lives. Powerful gravitational convulsions within a failing star blast its outermost layers into space, and when the outwardly-expanding shells of material are then impacted by the star's radiation they become ionized, causing them to glow.
PHOTOS: Ten Cosmic Stunners to Point Your New Telescope At
The comet-shaped structures surrounding NGC 2392 are created by faster wind and radiation from the central star interacting with cooler shells of dust and gas that have already been ejected.
While not achieving the dramatic level of true supernova remnants, planetary nebulae like NGC 2392 are nonetheless fascinating targets for observation, not only for their unique beauty but also for the insight they can provide as to the eventual end of our own home star, the sun.

To Attend:
What: "Not in Our Town: Light in the Darkness"
When: Monday. Refreshments at 5 p.m., screening at 5:45 p.m. Q&A afterward with Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri
Where: UC San Diego Student Service Center's Multipurpose Room, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla
On Monday, the documentary "Not in our Town: Light in the Darkness," about the anti-immigrant hate crime that changed the town of Patchogue, New York, will screen in San Diego as part of a campaign against hate crimes by the Anti-Defamation League and other local organizations.
The presentation is open to the public and includes a Q&A with Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri after the film. The documentary chronicles the story of a series of attacks against Latino residents in 2008 that culminated with the murder of Ecuadorian immigration Marcelo Lucero.
Pontieri also will join the Anti-Defamation League, KPBS and Assemblyman Ben Hueso on Monday morning at Southwest High School for the kickoff of the anti-hate crime campaign.
Hueso will present a proclamation that calls for February to be "No Place for Hate" month. No Place for Hate is the Anti-Defamation League's initiative for what it calls "reducing bias, bullying and name-calling." The program was developed for schools.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine. When the bladder is full and needs to empty, it will contract or squeeze. The sphincter muscle, or the "bladder door," will relax and open. Urine will then flow smoothly out of the bladder. This is how the bladder empties.
When a child is unable to relax the sphincter muscle, the urine stream will be very weak. As a result, the bladder will not empty completely and the child will develop dysfunctional voiding. Symptoms of dysfunctional voiding include urinary tract infections, urinary frequency, urgency and wetting accidents.
Dysfunctional voiding or urinating is a learned behavior. Pelvic floor exercises can help your child to be more aware of the sphincter muscle in the pelvic area. This therapy trains your child to relax the sphincter muscle when urinating so that the bladder will empty better.
Pelvic floor exercises are safe and have no side effects. The exercises do not hurt, and there are no needles involved.
During the sessions, your child will learn special exercises. Small sticker pads are placed on your child's buttocks. These pads record muscle activity on a computer during the exercises. Your child will be able to see the results (feedback) of the exercises on the computer screen. He or she will perform the exercise while playing games on the computer.
Your child will also need to urinate in a special toilet. This is called a uroflow test. This special toilet can record how well the urine stream is flowing.
Your child should always wear loose, comfortable clothing when coming for the sessions. Also it is very important for the child to come with a full bladder. One hour prior to the visit it is recommended that your child drink:
Children doing pelvic floor exercises need their parents to help and support them. The more a child can practice the exercises, the quicker he or she will learn to relax the muscles correctly.

Pork Chops Stuffed With Apples and Pears
Quick look
- prep 20 min cook 1.5 hrs
- serves 6
In this imaginative dish, the apples are combined with pears to make a high-fiber, fat-free stuffing. Apple juice is placed in the roasting pan to keep the meat moist while it cooks and to infuse the meat with apple flavor from both inside and out. Use a tart apple, such as a Granny Smith, in the stuffing for the best flavor. Sage adds a light, spicy bite to the fruit stuffing.
- 2 teaspoons olive or canola oil
- 2 leeks or 1 small onion, trimmed and sliced
- 2 tart apples, peeled, cored and diced
- 1 ripe pear, cored and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 6 pork loin chops with bone, 1 inch thick (about 8 ounces each)
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the leeks and sauté 3 to 4 minutes or until softened and lightly browned. Add the apples, pear and sage; sauté about 3 minutes longer. Stir in 1/2 cup apple juice and the stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 2 minutes or until the fruit is slightly soft.
- 2
Drain the fruit mixture, reserving the liquid in the saucepan. Allow the fruit to cool slightly. Stir the orange zest into the fruit mixture.
- 3
Using a sharp knife, trim all the fat from the pork chops. Make a horizontal slit into the side of each chop until the knife blade reaches the bone. Move the knife back and forth to make a pocket about 3 inches long, taking care not to go through to the outside of the meat at any point. With a teaspoon, stuff the fruit mixture into the pockets.
- 4
Coat a nonstick pan with vegetable oil cooking spray, add 3 chops, and cook on moderately high heat for 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Repeat with second batch. Caution: Do not use spray near hot burner.
- 5
Place the stuffed chops in a nonstick roasting pan, add the remaining apple juice and roast about 1 hour or until tender and the internal temperature of the meat is 170°F. Transfer the chops to a platter, cover with aluminum foil and keep them warm.
- 6
Spoon off most of the fat from the roasting pan. Stir in the reserved fruit poaching liquid and place over moderate heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring to loosen the brown bits on the pan, about 3 minutes or until a rich sauce forms.

"The instructions actually say to screw the die in until it touches the shell holder with the ram at the top and then lower the ram and adjust the die 1/8 to ¼ further down so the press cams over center"
Actually they, the person that wrote the instructions should have said not all presses cam over, some jam over, cram over. lock up or go into a bind. Again, I have 4 Rock Chuckers, two are mounted to Piggy Back presses, none of my Rock Chuckers cam over, I know, It would sound cool if I said 'cam over' I had rather sound like I knew the difference between a cam over press and a non-cam over press, I have Herter presses, All of my Herters cam over, all my cam over Herter presses bump, not once but twice when I adjust them to bump, when I want to determine the amount of cam over I use a feeler gage.
Back to actually, actually if the author of the instruction understood the concept of 'the incline plane', minimum length, full length sized, multiple chambers with variable chamber lengths they would include instructions for determining the length of the chamber first.
I have two chambers, one in the rifle the other inside the die/shell holder. the task is to size a case for a chamber the reloader is unfamiliar with a die and shell holder the reloader knows less about. I have a chamber that requires a .014" gap between the top of the shell holder and bottom of the die, in keeping up you can immediately see there is nothing about adjusting the die to the shell holder with an additional 1/4 turn (.0175") has nothing to do with sizing cases for my chamber.

For most of us, the movement of water in a drinking glass goes unnoticed. But to Los Angeles-based photographer and architect Moses Hacmon, a closer look revealed a sight he'd never seen before.
Using a special technique he developed with a liquid nanoparticle film coating, he captured water up close in photos that look as if they're microscopic images – only they're really on the scale of what you'd see with the naked eye, and some measure as large as 3 feet by 4 feet.
Hacmon used paper with a silver-based liquid to capture water in motion, he told PetaPixel.com. "Here I keep a liquid layer of iron that registers the movement in the water first and then can be imprinted on any surface in any shape."
He ended up taking more than two dozen photos using the technique, titling them "Faces of Water." Hacmon currently is running a fundraising campaign on USA Projects in hopes of putting together an educational exhibit for schools with 4-feet-by-8-feet prints of the photos, to illustrate the role water has in shaping our lives, he said.

My second annual HP Discover conference in Las Vegas is now in the books. Last year, I was the fresh face who just joined the HP account team. This year, I felt like a seasoned veteran, especially after attending Discover EMEA in December, GPC in February and the Storage team's Marketing All Hands in March.
HP is definitely on the right track. Meg Whitman's kick-off keynote reassured investors, customers, employees and partners that HP is in this for the long haul. Per Meg, they have their financials in order and have brought innovative products, such as the Elitepad tablet for business, Moonshot and Flash storage to market in the past 12 months. Meg emphasized the opportunity for all stakeholders to embrace a "New Style of IT" that focuses on lower costs, increased simplicity and faster speeds; size and scale are no longer barriers to market entry but the enterprises who provide right combination of hardware, software and services addressing customers' Cloud, Mobility, Security and Big Data needs will come out ahead.
Additional keynotes, theater and breakout sessions and blogs had a similar tone. I was fortunate to attend many of the sessions and also host a few sessions as part my company, Intel's, sponsorship package. Interestingly, on Tuesday morning, the first day of the conference, I saw the first HP Moonshot commercial in my room while watching CNBC. These Moonshot servers are space, power and people efficient and they help enterprises manage the "Internet of Things". Mark Potter spoke of this amazing product line in an Innovation Theater Sessions on Tuesday night http://bit.ly/11Ghe33. He addressed all the ingredient players in the space, including Intel whose networking solution and Avoton processors provides
massive computing power. My colleague, @RaejeanneS also blogged about Moonshot and her experience at HP Discover 2013 here here: http://intel.ly/16LJwhz
It wasn't all Project Moonshot and Hyperscale servers- enterprise servers still have a purpose as evidenced by the messaging around Project Kraken, a 16S converged system with 12 TB of memory, powered by the Intel® Xeon® processor that will dramatically change OLTP operations by provided real-time access to data.
Storage continues to be the darling of the datacenter and did not disappoint at Discover US 2013. HP Storage's VP David Scott did a celebratory ribbon cutting in the Storage pod to announce the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450, the first flash optimized converged storage product and the Virtual Storage Array, a parlay into the emerging field of software defined storage. The 7450 is also powered by the Xeon processor. You can hear Intel's own Christie Rice talk about the power of Xeon for storage in this video: http://bit.ly/12HzezS
While the announcement of HAVEn dominated the big data news, not to be overlooked is Intel IT's own implementation of big data solutions to recoup $20M in savings from smarter use of the overwhelming amount of data that runs through our network. Intel IT was able to better market to resellers, streamline chip validation and proactively detect and address security threats with the right combination of hardware and analytics software running on Intel's Distribution of Apache Hadoop. More details here: http://t.co/q35MjGAOjb
Last but certainly not least, Intel spoke about its consistently amazing Solid State Drive S3700 designed specifically for the datacenter. This product allows users to access data at superfast speeds at a very compelling and competitive price point. Coincidentally, Intel launched the S3500 last
week, the sister product to the S3700.
There was so much more going on, including the Data Center Challenge and the giant Ultrabook in the Intel booth, both not to be missed – you can get a virtual tour by visiting http://bit.ly/16FiQz7

Following the establishment of the University of Nebraska in 1869, its Lincoln campus was laid out on four city blocks. University Hall, its first building, was an imposing structure standing on the prairie, well away from the city's center.
The campus rapidly expanded to accommodate the university's growing role in education, and today's Lincoln campus covers 624 acres, blending historic structures with modern buildings in a beautifully-landscaped setting.
Campus improvements seem to be continually under way, always with the concern that damage to the campus streets, landscaping and disruption of university activities be minimized.
A recent water improvement program had the potential of being extremely disruptive.
"It was necessary to replace old water mains through the UNL city campus to improve service for existing and future water needs of the university's main campus and provide better maintenance access to the underground mains," said Terry McArthur, P.E. senior professional associate of the national engineering firm HDR, engineers for the project. The Lincoln Water System was the project owner. Primary contractor K2 Construction made the directional drilling installations.
The route of the new pipe was through the middle of the campus with extensive surface improvements, including landscaped areas and green spaces with sidewalk corridors, some containing large trees, area lighting, brick walks and streets and a parking lot. Landmarks in or near the construction area were the "Walk of Champions" sidewalk, a full-size statue of a mammoth in front of the university's Museum of Natural History and sports facilities, including Memorial Stadium, home of the Cornhuskers football team.
The university was concerned about disturbing the existing improvements, said McArthur. In addition, beneath these improvements were many buried utilities.
Multiple obstacles
Subsurface obstacles included the old water main and services, gas mains and services, sanitary sewer mains, chilled water lines, communication and power cables, and steam tunnels. Establishing the location of these facilities required extensive subsurface utility engineering during the design.
The design process was performed as a collaborative effort among HDR, Lincoln Water, Lincoln Public Works and the University of Nebraska.
"The project was designed and bid documents completed in three months," McArthur said. "Coordination meetings were held weekly during design and even daily during construction."
Construction took an additional three months. Time was critical for this work as the improvements had to be completed prior to the beginning of a Special Olympics event.
Specifications required directional drilling at eight locations for segments in close proximity to critical surface features.
"However, either open-cut or HDD were allowed at other locations," said McArthur. "The contractor elected to use directional drilling for the entire project, thus saving substantial restoration costs. HDD also was selected due to its limited impact on existing surface and landscaping features. HDD greatly reduced the concerns for excavations on campus and the potential for injury to students."
All the new mains were 12-inch diameter restrained joint Certainteed Certa-Lok PVC pipe. The project contained three segments: one of more than 1,200 feet; 850 feet; and 800 feet.
There were twelve bores on the project with the longest at 600 feet and the shortest at 100 feet. Average depth of water mains was five feet but some areas were 15-feet deep to avoid underground steam tunnels.
"K2 Construction used a computer generated bore planner to show depths and distances of these facilities for planning the bores," said McArthur. "This and careful monitoring of the drill tool location during the pilot hole helped ensure adequate distance between the new water main and the existing utilities throughout the project."
Locations of existing utilities were visibly confirmed by potholing using a Tornado F3 Hydravac vacuum excavator. The same machine was used to keep the work site clear of drilling fluids.
Where excavations were required, steel plates were placed over the holes or the excavations were backfilled immediately after use.
For the bores, K2 used a Vermeer D36x50 HDD model. Powered by a 140-horsepower diesel engine, it develops 36,000 pounds of pullback, 5,000 foot pounds of rotary torque with a maximum spindle speed of 227 rpm.
Subsurface soils were primarily clay. Pilot bores were five inches in diameter backreamed to 16 inches. A Digitrak Eclipse with a 50-foot sonde transmitter tracked the path of the bore. A Vermeer Atlas Bore Planner was used to help plan the installation. All bores were made at times when campus activity was light.
"This project," said McArthur, "ultimately was successful because of collaboration among the Lincoln Water System, Lincoln Engineering Services, the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, HDR Engineering, K2 Construction and local utility companies. Although the project presented many logistical challenges, they were solved proactively during design and construction."
The new water mains were installed on time, within budget, and with very limited disruption to university campus activities, he added.
"Without the use of directional drilling," McArthur continued, "the work would have required more time to complete, caused considerable disruption to normal activities, and cost more. This project was a great demonstration of the benefits of horizontal directional drilling technology used by an experienced trenchless contractor."
The Lincoln Water System serves approximately 70,000 customers, about 10 percent commercial and industrial organizations, 90 percent residential. Water also is provided for more than 9,000 fire hydrants and two local parks and recreational facilities. The system's pipeline infrastructure has more than 1,000 miles of main pipelines.
With headquarters in Omaha, HDR is a global employee-owned firm providing architecture, engineering, consulting, construction and related services through various operating companies. More than 7,800 professionals assist clients manage complex projects.
Based in Lincoln, K2 Construction is experienced in horizontal directional drilling, open-cut construction, pipe bursting and installation of geothermal systems.

Shots fired
The Fort Bragg Police Department responded to a report July 11 at approximately 9:35 p.m. regarding gunshots in the area of Morrow and Cedar streets.
Upon arrival, officers searched the area and spoke with witnesses who reported hearing one gunshot, according to a Fort Bragg Police Department press release. Officers also received information that a male subject was chased by several other male subjects and the victim was possibly shot at by the people who were chasing him, according to the release.
However, the victim was later found uninjured, and provided little information about the identity or descriptions of those who allegedly chased and shot at him.
The Fort Bragg Police Department confirmed evidence was located at the scene that at least one round had been fired. The evidence is being sent to the California Department of Justice for analysis.
In hopes of catching the perpetrators, the Fort Bragg Police Department is asking for the public's assistance in identifying those responsible for the incident. Contact Sgt. Gilchrist at 961-2800 Ext. 112 if there is any pertinent information you can share with police. If you wish to remain anonymous, please use the Fort Bragg Police Department Crime Tip Hotline at 961-3049.
Domestic violence
At 12:21 p.m. Wednesday, a woman walked into the Fort Bragg Police Department and requested information about restraining orders, the department stated in a press release.
An officer was sent in to assist the woman and while speaking with her, noticed she was extremely upset and crying, and had fresh bruises, according to the press release.
After further questioning, the officer learned that the woman had been assaulted the previous night and was falsely imprisoned in her apartment by her boyfriend, Ernest Salo, the release stated. Salo was allegedly on probation for an unrelated domestic violence charge.
Salo had allegedly placed a locking mechanism on the woman's apartment door to prevent her from leaving. He had also broken her cell phone so she couldn't call for assistance, the Fort Bragg Police Department stated.
When officers began looking for Salo, they saw he was a passenger in a passing vehicle on South Franklin Street. The vehicle was stopped, and Salo was removed and immediately placed under arrest. He was later transported to the Mendocino County Jail, where he awaits arraignment.

Code Orange (Teen)
By Caroline Cooney
8 copies
Walking around New York City was what Mitty Blake did best. He loved the city, and even after 9/11, he always felt safe. Mitty was a carefree guy–he didn't worry about terrorists or blackouts or grades or anything, which is why he was late getting started on his Advanced Bio report.
Mitty does feel a little pressure to hand something in–if he doesn't, he'll be switched out of Advanced Bio, which would be unfortunate since Olivia's in Advanced Bio. So he considers it good luck when he finds some old medical books in his family's weekend house that focus on something he could write about. But when he discovers an old envelope with two scabs in one of the books, the report is no longer about the grade–it's about life and death. His own.
From Booklist
*Starred Review* Gr. 6-9. In top, utterly terrifying form, Cooney leads a gregarious New York City teenager to a century-old sample of smallpox scabs. As dedicated to avoiding study as he is to getting closer to classmate Olivia, Mitty is oblivious to the danger he, she, and everyone else in the crowded city is in from his possible exposure to this hyper-contagious, utterly devastating disease--until he starts looking into smallpox for a school project. Drawing from several medical resources, which she lists at the end, Cooney lays out the illness's history and symptoms in precise, gruesome detail as a horrified Mitty writhes on the horns of a dilemma: Is the virus still active? Can he find a way to prevent an epidemic if it is? Should he tell the authorities, and look like a total dork if it isn't? Then, in a heartstopping twist, Mitty is kidnapped by terrorists intent on using him as a biological weapon. Readers won't soon forget either the profoundly disturbing premise of this page-turner or its likable, ultimately heroic slacker protagonist. John Peters

Monsoon's pro and contra all come from it's semi-auto feature: very good for rapid fire, esp. for moving target, not best choice for long-distance shots and for the shots that require high accuracy.

FX know their rifles! I've got a T12, and at full power,(36ftpounds) I can only count on 24 shot's, (2mags). Take it down to 30ftpounds and I get 3 mags. Unfortunately I cant have one here in Sweden as it's a semi auto and requires a license. Are you in the UK?
Written on: 09/04/2008
I'm in Russia and had to arrange a license too, because I opted for 5.5 calibre, which is more powerful than 4.5 and in this country it's the question of power not automatic reloading. I had a lot of air guns but never 5.5, so I passed a long way of bureaucratics so that my first semi-auto rifle would be my first 5.5 also.

In the darkest days of the 20th century, as the shadow of the hallow kauft fell across europe, for a few jewish families in a little ukrainian village, the courage of one woman was the difference between life and death for her two sons. If I wouldn't have this type of mother, I wouldn't be alive.
Reporter: Esther stermer, mother of six, understood that to save her family, she would have to do something unimaginable. We had a very smart mother. She told us, "whatever they tell you to do, do the opposite.
" Reporter: Saul and sam stermer remember how their mother ester took them and four other families underground. 38 jewish men, women, and children, would spend a year and 146 days deep inside two vast caves. They lived in darkness, in fear of being discovered.
One man from each family would sneak out at night, risking his life to forage for food. They build showers, and lat reins and collected drinking water in a lake inside the cave.
They made the dark abyss a home.
You were in paradise. Reporter: You were in the cave but free. Free.
Free. WE WERE FREE MEN. Reporter: Finally, in may 1944, the russian army liberated the area and the five families, 38 jews, came back into the light, back into li on earth.
That ordeal, living underground for 500 days and more, how did it shape your life, the life that you did survive to live? We were just happy to survive, and then, life started to turn normal. This is a completely different story.
Because it was a happy ending. Reporter: In 2010, for the film, saul and sam, now 92 and 86, returned to the cave. Now, I know where I am.
Let's close all the lights for a minute. Ahh, now I feel good. Reporter: And deeper into the darkness, a symbol of their resilience, where the families etched their names in the rock to signal to the world, we are here. Here iam! Reporter: Today these 38 survivors now have more than 125 children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, reminding us of a hebrew blessing, which means "more life. " Their reward when they came out of the darkness.

If we confess our sins…
Matt, over at "Matt Dabb's Blog", has written a post called "Practicing Confession". He makes some important points and asks several important questions concerning confessing sins to one another. Consider this:
We live such private lives. We don't know our neighbors. It is very difficult for people to open up on a deeper level. How do we move from, "Hi, how are you?" "Fine." to confessing our sins and becoming vulnerable to each other? We all sin and need outlets for confession yet the invitation is only used for that a few times during the year rather than hundreds. I think we could use a more effective outlet for confession.
Matt is correct. We cannot move directly from "How are you?" to "I have sinned". What is that step in between? I believe that step is fellowship. No, I don't mean pot-luck suppers. I mean people who are bound together by the presence of the Holy Spirit. No, I'm not talking about a two hour meeting or a once-a-week Bible study. I'm talking about people who share their lives with one another.
I believe that this type of fellowship is the "effective outlet for confession". What do you think?

I think you are right on the mark. But I don't think just any fellowship will do. Having hundreds of people mulling around over lunch still makes it hard. It seems to me that having smaller groups of people certainly makes confession more natural.
Another thing is good models. We haven't had good models of confession. We just hope it happens but no one wants to go first! The leaders need to step up and show everyone else that confession is normal and ok. But this needs to be tempered with a reminder that it is never for show. God bless
I appreciate what you are saying here. I wonder though, is "hundreds of people mulling around over lunch" what Scripture means by fellowship?
Solid post! Confession inspired by the move of the Holy Spirit. Close-knit relationships/fellowships will lend itself to times of confession. The most amazing things in these times is you can feel God doing amazing things in our hearts.
Welcome to my blog. I hope you decide to come back and interact with us here. Thank you for the kind words. You are certainly correct that it is amazing to feel God do amazing things in our hearts.
At our missions-training class a few years back, we had a teaching session on the importance of confession. Then we had to apply it. To each other. Real confession, not just "I don't pray enough" type stuff; stuff you planned to keep hidden. Wow. Still affects me today.
Welcome back to my blog and thank you for your comment. "Real confession… still affects me today". This gives me much to think about. Perhaps this is a benefit to "real confession"?
Alan —
I just meant real to me. I daren't apply my failings to everybody.
I would not apply my failings or your failings to everyone either. But, the idea that confession should be "real confession" does apply to everyone. And, the thought has certainly challenged and convicted me.
This morning I read, "Without trust, I will confess…socially acceptable and common sins such as "not enough faith or prayer." But with trust, I can share those things that truly hinder me and consequently, I can expect prayer and healing." The author mentions on previous pages how affirmation must come first to build the trust. He also goes onto say, "We seldom wait until after the process of trust building to confront areas in our relationship with each other that damage that relationship," and how earning the right to confront must come first.
That gives me much to think about… both from the aspect of earning someone's trust, and trusting someone enough to confess.

There were several factors involved in our decision to move from New Jersey to Arizona five and one half years ago, but if we had to boil it down to one reason, it was weather. We moved to Arizona for the weather.
Now, by "weather," with regards to back east, I mean the brutally cold winters; de-icing the car on a dark, frigid Monday morning; blizzards and snowstorms that, great as they were as a kid, were nothing but inconvenient and dangerous as adults; incessant and unpredictable rain during all seasons that made it near impossible to make outdoor plans; unbearable summer humidity. By "weather" I never meant a natural disaster.
That's what Superstorm Sandy was and is—a natural disaster. And it's a very strange feeling to be here now, far removed from New Jersey and New York physically but not at all emotionally, spiritually. Our families and friends are all still there, and while they are all thankfully safe, they are living amidst the wreckage of a storm from which it seems impossible to fully recover.
I realize the Valley has its share of east coast transplants, but I find it necessary to extrapolate on what wrath this storm has wrought for those with no connections 2,500 miles away.
Anyone who has watched the news in the past two weeks knows that lives were lost; houses and places of business and livelihoods were destroyed; power has been out with no clear sign of its return in some areas; food and gas have been scarce and people are fighting for them as if characters in some post-apocalyptic movie. We've all seen the footage and heard the horror stories. If there's one common theme running through all of the discussions we've had with family and friends back east—and remember, these are people who've endured Sandy relatively unscathed—it's that no amount of footage can do justice to the first-hand reality.
Of everything lost with the exception of lives, and so much was lost, the most tragic has been dreams. Of a better life, one lived far removed from the everyday struggle, adjacent to the magnificent vastness of God's blue ocean. My parents differed from nobody in their dream to be retired in a house down the shore. That dream has stemmed from childhood for generations of east coasters. Fill in the blank for the beach of choice everyone spent a great portion of their summers—ours was Point Pleasant. The ghosts of our childhood walked on creaky wooden boards and breathed in the salty air and wished it were possible to do this 365 days a year, not just the summer. Those summer days and nights made it possible to endure the less favorable weather detailed above. We chose to opt out, yet I'd always maintained a tinge of jealously when hearing about those days over the past half decade.
The Jersey shore is not damaged—it's gone. It exists in basements miles away from where it once was, a path of destruction mapping its route. My parents never realized their dream, and now never will. Better that than those who did and watched it wash away.
The east coast deserves our prayers, donations, and empathy. Not just now, in the storm's immediate aftermath, but indefinitely, when the news cycle has refreshed and our attention is again diverted.
The east coast should inspire us, too. In times like this, it's common for an area to rally around its collective strength, and as someone with Jersey ties, I can say that strength is real. A few days ago my brother-in-law, after texting me some of the hardships and inconveniences they've been enduring, finished with this: "This Thanksgiving is going to be unlike any other." If he feels that way then we should feel that way ten-fold from here, where the sun shines relentlessly.

Lauper told TODAY's Carson Daly and Savannah Guthrie that she has not just one favorite song on her debut album, but "a favorite moment, when ... the music came alive. I guess, when 'All Through the Night' actually worked, or 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' actually worked," she said.
The 60-year-old singer also likened her song creation process to a "cooking special." "That's how I do music," she explained. "I take a little of that, and a little of this and mix it."
But if there's one element of time that Lauper can't get used to, it's the early hours morning television requires. After briefly losing her train of thought while talking about "Kinky Boots," the Tony-winning musical she wrote music and lyrics for, Lauper turned to Daly and Guthrie.
"My head went blank!" she grinned. "It's too early. I got up at 3:30. ... How do you do it?"
"I just don't sleep," said Daly. "Lots of coffee."
A special 30th anniversary edition of "She's So Unusual" packed with early versions of the songs and remixed tracks is available now. Lauper is also hitting the road with Cher for the Dressed to Kill tour from April 23 to July 11.
