What a Good Dog

What I thought Pit Bulls were so mean and worthless. Yea exactly NOT!!!!!! Mine is the same way with my kids friendly as can be and a big baby with people but don't mess with the kids. She will get up and stand right next to them if they cry or are hurt. Thanks for posting a good article of these dogs because all you hear is that one but someone. Every dog that bites on the news is always a pitbull. It could be a chihuahua and it would be listed as pit bull if it but someone.

Thankfully they were returned safe...and the dog didn't get shot because of a well-informed and properly trained ACO...

I remember a few years ago, I got really sick. I was laid up, unable to leave my bed for about 3 days. My old Plott Hound, Marshall, was by my side, I couldn't even let him out to pee those days that I was sick, but he slept on the bed beside me patiently.
My brother (who was living with me at the time) came upstairs one day to see if I needed anything. He knocked and I told him to come in, but Marshall popped up and just about attacked him. He stood between us, howling at my brother to leave. I've never had a dog defend me, until this happened! That old hound was FRIGHTENING! He sent my brother on his way with his tail between his legs!
Good dog!
I have 2 pit mixes.They are the most loyal dogs ever. My husband has a form of M.S. They stay with him on his bad days and dont leave his side when hes alone. The younger one stays with him and the older one comes to get me if help is needed. Very in tune with his needs. They are not trained for this its just a natural instinct and loving nature.

There have been several incidents where a dog had stayed with a child and protected it after they wondered away from home.
The constant companionship of our dogs has been instrumental in my spouse's fight against mental illness (schizophrenia). While not trained as therapy or assistance dogs, they have had an uncanny ability to determine when something in her mood is shifting (and when it does, she gets pawed and nuzzled), served as a tool to verify reality (e.g., they bark at the window when people approach the house, but not at delusions), provided companionship during the day, and one of our dogs used to paw at me in the middle of the night and wake me if my spouse went downstairs (sadly, he passed away recently). The dog who is still alive is her constant companion.
That being said, unless there is a caregiver to make sure the dog gets fed properly, let out regularly, etc. I would not recommend buying a dog for the severely mentally ill, just because you hear they can be helpful.

I have personally witnessed the saving of a young man's life by his 2 pitbull terriers. A stray dog (another pitbull) attacked him, lunging for his neck, but the young man put his arm up, so the dog was biting his arm over and over, and wouldn't stop. When the young man's Mother heard the commotion & went to see what was going on, his dogs burst through the door & they went over to the dog and attacked him from the top side and back of his legs, and the dog eventually let go of the boy. The dogs then cornered the dog and kept him where he was until animal control got there, only resuming fighting if the dog tried to get away, and stopping as soon as the dog would stop. It was later found out that the stray dog had been fed gun powder and used in dogfights & had been abandoned because the owner could not control him. He was humanely put down, and the hero dogs were allowed to wait out their mandatory 10 day quarantine at home. The boy recovered full use of his arm after repairs including micro-surgical tendon repair and he and the dogs are living happily ever after.
That's what pit bulls do! There is a very good reason why they were called "The Nanny Dog" in this country for over a hundred years. They are loyal and loving...and it's disgusting how thugs take advantage of their loyal nature.

What a wonderful story! Goes to prove hoe loyal Pit's really are!
recently a pitbull stopped an infant from being kidnapped during a break in...in the Boston area...
When my oldest son was about 2 years old, he was playing outside, following his grandfather every where he went, which happened to be to a next door neighbors house. The neighbor was redoing the fence on his property! While his fence was down, his pond on his property was easy to get to. Well my son got too close to the pond and our dog took off running toward the pond where my son was. Now, my dog had a shock collar on to keep him in the yard, but that didnt stop him from running threw the "shock" to get to my son. The dog (His name is Einstien) stood infront of my son who was at the pond alone, and backed my son away from the pond by leaning up against him to push him back!! He saved my son from possibly drowning. I am thankful everyday that my son is still with us because of Our dog. My son is now 11years old and we still have the dog, I wouldnt trade him for the world!!
The same situation happened when my son was 2. Instead of a pond it was a major road. He got the front door unlocked and ran outside running towards the road. My pit ran out and put himself between my son and the road, pushing him back. If it wasn't for my pit (Bossy) my son may not be here today.

I'm not surprised by the devotion of this wonderful pit bull. I'm ever grateful to the dog's guardian angel who protected him from the trigger happy police! Long live Pit Bulls!!! I love them!!

That's so cool! So good to hear a story with a happy ending! Especially with all the unprovoked shootings you hear about lately. My pits haven't done anything that exciting but I don't doubt that they would or could. Love'em to death!
I hate to admit this, but the very same thing happened to me when my daughter was only 1 (12 years ago). We lived on an Army base and the only bathroom was upstairs. While I was in the bathroom, my daughter sneaked out the back door without me hearing. When I came back downstairs, her and our 2 dogs were gone (one a Mini Schnauzer and the other a Pit Bull). They were fast...but I did find them a few minutes later down in front of another building, but the dogs literally were flanked on each side of her. I was terrified but I felt better knowing that the dogs were with her. Not so much the Schnauzer, but I knew my Pit Bull would never let anything happen to her. Sadly, we lost that Pit just last January at the age of 18.

That is so awesome. My pit charm is a rescue. I love her very much. Although my children are grown to a point they don't have to be watched every second I know my girl would never let them get hurt. She's very protective of our family and such a gift. I've made a vow never to buy another dog. All my dogs will come from rescues. She has made our lives whole and I love her so much

My daughter rescued an emaciated and injured dog. Because of a micro-chip, it was discovered that the dog had been reported missing a year ago and from a different state. The owners were contacted and reunited with their baby. Everyone needs to micro-chip their pets...it's a no-brainer.

After my divorce, my Pit Bull Paige and I moved in with my mother and grandmother. One night, Paige woke me up and was frantically running between my bed and the bedroom door. I assumed she must need to go potty really badly. When I opened the bedroom door, there was my grandmother, who was diabetic, on the floor outside the bathroom, moaning. Her blood sugar had dropped dangerously low. If it weren't for my Paigie dog, hearing her and waking me up, we might not have found her in time. She saved my grandmother's life that night.

What a great story. So nice to hear something good about pits. Funny how we always hear the negatives about them. We have pits in our extended family and they'll lick you death!!
My pit is so aware of feelings- I had a friend die just two days ago and she won't leave my side- she knows something is wrong and is constantly attending to me. They are amazing animals---
A few months ago when I was nearing the end of my pregnancy, my pit would follow me literally everywhere I went to make sure I was ok. He would even wake up 4 times in the middle of the night with me to go to the bathroom. The night I went into labor, I swear he knew before I did. He sat right in front of me while I watched tv after work and kept looking up at me and licking my leg. Now that my twins are home, he no longer follows me around, instead he lays right in front of the babies' crib to make sure they they are ok. He is absolutely the best dog I could ever ask for.
Where I used to live I had acres of land. My daughter was almost 3 when we got our Pit and I had her outside playing while I was on the couch door open where I could glance up and see her doing my homework. Just then I hear a mans voice screaming and trying to run as fast as he can the acre that leads to the street from our house. He crept so quietly up our packed dirt drive way and I never saw him. My dog however, hid behind my daughter she was only like 4 months old but no one could get near her that she didnt know. Anyways, so the man got I am guessing within 3 feet of my daughter who by then was covered in dirt, to attempt to take her when my Pit bull puppy growled and started barking and chasing him out of the yard. I never heard her like that before but apparently the man was not good and my dog knew this. I was able to get his discription and they cought him lying in a ditch a few blocks up still shaking. I have never left my daughter in the yard again without me and of course our pit bull since then even if you are ten feet away in the house with the door open thankfully out dog was there. Now all I have to do since my daughter and now son like to play hide n seek in the house when I cant find them my command of find the baby leads me straight to them.

I love Pit Bulls, but of course some are trained to be vicious and that was the case back in 2001 when my mom and I were on a walk in our neighborhood with our two Keeshonden. Sam was 10 years old at the time and my Leo was 1 year old. We were barely off our street when the dog left his yard and started stalking towards us. My mom and I had nothing to fend him off with as the dog went straight for the weakest (Sam). At the last second my Leo put himself between Sam, mom and myself. He took the brunt of the attack which didn't last long as the owner of the dog came up and pulled him away. I was so proud of my boy that day and also very thankful for his profuse mane of fur as it saved him from being bitten.
Dog's truly are better than us humans at times because even despite going through that, Leo has never acted wary among dogs who looked like the one that attacked us. He basically gets along with every dog he meets (well except for Ralph the pug) in our old neighborhood; and lives with our lab/pit bull mix Nero who we adopted a month after we let Sam go to the bridge in 2005.
Our pit is 10 yrs old and happy dog when grand kids come to visit she always with one of them. A new baby joined our family, instantly the pit became his guardian. its been almost five years now. They are so bonded. you can see the love between them. we say " a dog and her boy" ♥
My daughter's husky-german shephard mix, who now lives with me, is a true lover of brisk walks. He becomes very excited and wants to practically run during his walks. When my daughter was in final stages of cancer and within weeks of death he stayed by her side night and day. He took on a very careful, gently approach toward her. She was very weak and could barely walk when she decided she would like to take him outside for one final, brief walk. She moved at a snail's pace and he stayed right by her side, walking as slowly as she needed through the entire walk. At many times he was barely moving his feet but he was patient and made no attempt to speed it up. Of course, he also stayed by her side when she died and grieved along my side after her death. He helped my get through more than I can say.
Your story is truly touching. Thank you for sharing such a profound part of your life. I share your grief and I am glad her dog has remained with you and offers you such comfort. Dogs are remarkable creatures, such true companions and incredibly sensitive to human need and mood. It breaks my heart that so many humans ignore the possibilities of canine friendship and love. Ownership is not friendship. Virtual hugs to you and your sweet dog - xoxox

pitbulls are very awesome dogs. everyone always told me about mine "watch em they will turn on you when they get old". well my last pit lived to the age of 13. at the end she had alzhiemers and didnt really know anything. she didnt know who we were or where she was. BUT she never did turn on me. They really are just the best dogs.

People who thinks dogs are just animals could never been more wrong. Max my blue heeler is my best friend been together for 13 years now. Animals love there family people take that for granted. When u been gone all day at work you would love to come home eat take a shower then go to bed but you forgot one important thing to spend time with the one that missed you so much during the day. They waited patiently for you to come home all day and you. Want straight to bed. But still they wait happily to be petted by you never not loving you. Please people make sure you appreciate your 4 legged best friend everyday you never know when u need them and I guarantee they will always be there never letting you down.
Could have easily gone the other way had the officers chose to treat the pit bull as a dangerous annimal.

I have two Pit Bulls, one of which developed an attachment to my son before he was even born, he watched closely as anyone rubbed my pregnant belly, and was distressed when someone he didnt know wanted to rub. When my son was born I had my husband bring home our son's blanket from the hospital so they could get his scent, they immidiately approved. Cody, the one who was attached from the start slept with it and was curled up with it when we brought home the baby, well. From that day on Cody spelt under our sons crib and would come out and nudge me with his nose when my son would just start to wake (before he would cry) then trot back into the room and wait just watching his baby. If it got to the point of my son crying he would run to me and bark looking back between myself and my son's room. It did take me a few times to realize what he was doing, and once the slow owner caught on it was pretty neat! I used to think that Cody was MY dog, but... my son took my spot, if he dropped his pacifier Cody would retreive it and drop it in his lap, if he had a mess on his face from a teething cookie, Cody would clean him up (yes I hated this, but it made my son squeal and laugh with delight, then was promptly followed up with a wet wipe)... Once my son got into his toddler bed, well lets just say I can't imagine how either of them slept. Cody would try to take baths with my son, when we went for walks, Cody didn't require (although he had one on at all times) a lead. He stayed right with us.

I got cut off last night when posting that. Cody is now 8 and my son is now 6, and they are still the best of friends. When my son's grandmother would take him for the weekend he would call, and say "Can I talk to my buddy" I would always put them on speaker phone, and just giggle at the love they share. Any breed can be misunderstood, any breed can bite. It takes responsible pet parents to raise a good loving dog. Cody pulls and shows his excitement when I walk him without my son, nearly pulls my hand raw because he is just so excitable, but (while monitored closely) my son can walk him and Cody will take the lead in his mouth and stays within a foot of my son. There was one time that I was walking behind the two of them on our walk and the little neighborhood PUNKS (no other term for it)-which these are kids who ride their bikes and throw things at small children and animals)... I was putting a cigarette out and throwing it in my neighbor's trash can, these little "Punks" didn't see me, Cody dropped his part of the lead from his mouth and stepped between my son and these kids... He bowed up his chest and started growling which alerted me to turn around. One kid stepped closer and his growling turned to a vicious snarl, the kid dropped his rock and backed slowly away. From that day on Cody was known as the neighborhood protector. The kids came and played in our yard and Cody would stand watch at the edge of the yard. I think he knew he was on duty. I wish I could post a picture of them on here. They are amazing. I love my children both my two legged and four legged. To sum it up, to this day, Cody has never bit anyone but will not hesitate to stand his ground, and I am sure that if it came down to it he would do anything to protect "His Boy". Thanks for reading Camden and Cody's story.
Wow! Now that's just Awesome :) I'd love to share stories like this on my Facebook page to Educate those certain people who Hate, Despise, Ridicule, Blame etc...of this Beautiful breed who are ALL clearly Misunderstood & Misjudged with no Thank you from the Bias Media :(

If only pregnant couples or new parents could read these stories, maybe there would be less dumping of dogs (pits esp.!) for the "sake" of the new baby! Babies who grow up w\these loving dogs are the lucky babies, as well as the parents!!
Great story!! Thank God it all worked out well. My dogs were microchipped. I had to give away one of the dogs, but the micro chip got infected in the other dog. She had to have two surgeries and a horrible time with anti-biotics that didnt work. After a tissue biopsy, the vet found the correct antibiotic. It cost over $200. No one has ever heard of one getting infected, but the vet who did the surgery called me DURING the surgery to tell me the chip was totally encased with infection. I'm a little leery now about getting my dogs chipped, but after reading this story, I may reconsider.

I'm so sorry about the situation with your dogs infection. I have heard of only a small handful of problems so I believe its very rare. We chip literally thousands of animals at our shelter every year and I havent heard of a single problem with the ones we've done. I will say that I have personally witnessed hundreds of amazing reunions that wouldnt have happened without microchips.
Just last week I confiscated a very neglected dog from a terrible home. He had a chip and it turned out that the dog was stolen more than a year ago by a vengeful ex-boyfriend and the owner had never been able to find him! Without the chip, he never would have been returned to his rightful owner. I also once picked up a cat with a chip that had been missing for 12 years so I'm definatly a fan.
I was fortunate to be raised with many, MANY pitties and lived in the country. Whenever we took off to go exploring, we always took one with us for protection, not only from people, but snakes, etc. The pit would always get between us and the danger. One pit actually body-blocked a group of us kids throwing us in a ditch. We looked up and a drunk driver was speeding towards us. Another took down a bull that was attacking its owner. Both of these dogs died as heros on those days protecting their owners. My grandfather flew in to visit. The pit, never having known him, stayed by his side during the entire visit... he just knew that this human was important to us. I remember every pitty we had and cherish every memory we had with them.

My son loved to go out in the back yard and play. Well one day he was outside playing and some kids started teasing him and his step brother and heard him start to cry. Well apparently our dog Sasha who usually went outside with them, but the boys must of slipped out while she had decided to take nap, heard him crying also, and she tore out the door. Well she saw some boys who were hanging somehow over our 8 foot fence and they were teasing and throwing things at the boys. Well she ran and almost cleared that 8 foot fence. I don't know what would of happen if she actually would have been able to get over that fence. Well we never had anymore problems with anyone teasing the boys anymore and after that anytime my son went outside she was right behind him, if someone came to the door she put herself between him and the person at the door. She did this through many years even as she got older and it was harder for to get up and run after him. She did this until the day she died. She showed us how much she loved our son, we used to say oh there goes Trevor's dog mommy going to keep an eye on him. We all miss her so much since she passed away a few years ago. Trevor still talks about her all the time and he says he still feels her watching after him now, and maybe she is. We believe she is and will always be watching after him. We love you Sasha

Thousands of Georgians can now find out how much they're going to have to pay for health insurance. The online exchange for the state's residents formally opened on Tuesday.Those that don't have coverage have six months to sign up for a plan. People who need help may have to be patient because application navigators are few and far between in Georgia. Several people turned out an Enroll America meeting held at the East Point branch of the Fulton County library to figure out what to do. Taprine Powell attended the meeting is search of answers. She has health insurance, but says her father, who is 60 and suffering from liver disease does not, and it's weighing heavily on her."Because right now I have my dad sick, my mom just passed and my grandmother is sick, too, so I have a lot," Powell said. Insurance navigators Thaddeus Dortch and Marcus Jordan, of Family Health Centers of Georgia, say they know a lot of people are feeling confused."We had about five or six calls this morning, and they're just trying to figure out, 'What to do, how to do it, what am I qualified for,'" said Dortch. 'I just let them know, you have time, you don't have to rush to do it now. It's a process."To start the process and find out your options, go to healthcare.gov."But if you have insurance now, you're good. If you have employee insurance, you're good. If you have Medicaid, Medicare, you're good," Jordan said. If you need one-on-one help, healthcare.gov lists 35 organizations in Atlanta offering application assistance.A spokesman for Georgia's insurance commissioner said that as of Tuesday morning, only four navigators had actually passed the state's licensing requirements and another 23 were waiting on required background checks.Jordan said that once the program gets up and running, a navigator can help you explore your choices. If you want help right away, healthcare.gov has a toll-free hotline at 1-800-318-2596 and a live chat option online.

There's nothing more memorable than a fun snowshoe up a scenic Maine mountain. Join our experienced guides on a relaxing snowshoe tour through a wintry landscape.
Conditions permitting Hiking isn't just for the summer months! Join our expert instructors for a guided snowshoe adventure up Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton, Maine. This modest 3- to 5-mile snowshoe hike offers three-season hikers the opportunity to add a fourth season and active snowshoers the chance to push the boundaries of their skillset.
After meeting your guides at the trailhead, you'll briefly review snowshoeing techniques and learn important tips about hiking in the winter. The trek will wind its way up the mountain, offering breathtaking views of Maine's western hills over Moose Pond. After reaching the top, a relaxing descent takes you back to the trailhead by approximately 3 p.m.
The hike includes hot cocoa, lunch and snacks. All necessary snowshoeing and hiking equipment is provided, although you may choose to bring your own snowshoes and crampons (subject to inspection by the guides). Participants should have some prior hiking and snowshoeing experience. All necessary snowshoeing equipment is provided.
Please note this tour is weather dependent.
Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

Two players argue that much of their income should be classified as royalties and not taxed by the United States. The IRS disagrees.
Retief Goosen and Sergio Garcia are going about their business at Augusta National, hoping to don a Masters' green jacket on Sunday. Both did pretty well in Thursday's first round.
Meanwhile, the professional golfers' tax attorneys are doing their jobs, trying to convince the IRS that the players' endorsement money was properly reported as royalty income, not payment for personal services.
The difference is important.
The debate centers on whether the incentives only really benefit the wealthy, and whether the government should use tax breaks to encourage Americans to save for retirement.
This post comes from Joe Mont at partner site TheStreet.
Amid a backdrop of deficit concerns, debate over the future of Social Security and Medicare and a looming government shutdown, tax deferrals for retirement plans could be on the chopping block.
Talk in Washington, spearheaded by Congressional leaders including Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., is that tax reform needs to tackle so-called tax expenditures. These incentives, which account for roughly $1 trillion in bypassed budget revenue each year, have been described by Conrad as a "back-door way of spending federal money."
Agency changes course, looking more closely at returns of taxpayers making more than $500,000. Questions include details of magazine subsriptions.
This article is by Laura Saunders of The Wall Street Journal.
The Internal Revenue Service is stepping up audits of wealthier taxpayers as part of a multiyear effort to crack down on tax avoidance.
According to the agency's latest statistical report for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, the percentage of taxpayers who were audited increased in every category of adjusted gross income above $500,000, compared with a year earlier.
The biggest jumps came at the top of the income ladder. About 18% of Americans earning at least $10 million were audited in fiscal 2010, up from 11% in fiscal 2009, according to the IRS. For those earning $500,000 to $1 million, the audit rate rose to 3.4% from 2.8%.
Accountants and tax preparers said the IRS's heightened scrutiny of wealthier taxpayers is in sharp contrast to the agency's audit practices during the previous decade.
Your tax return is still due April 18, though if you file by paper, any refund could be delayed.
This post is by Linda Stern of Thomson Reuters.
A threatened government shutdown won't stop Internal Revenue Service commissioner Douglas Shulman from filing his own taxes on time; they're already done. "I make sure it gets done on time," he told Reuters. "I just have to look it over." He said that taxpayers should follow that example and not expect to get any extra filing time if there is a temporary federal work stoppage.
"The IRS will be accepting tax returns," he told the National Press Club in a luncheon speech on April 6. "The American people should file their taxes and they are required
The average refund is $3,164 this year, and most people plan to save or pay off debt. For those who plan to spend it, here are some suggestions.
This post is by Jason Notte of TheStreet.com.
Tax refunds shouldn't come with a scolding, and the average $3,164 refund being handed out by the IRS this year is no exception.
For much of the economic downturn and recession that preceded this year's tax season, taxpayers were repeated the same line when they asked what they should do with their tax return: Pay down debt, put it into an IRA or mutual fund, save.
Contrary to the prevailing sentiment, however, not everybody spent the early 2000s popping Cristal, building McMansions and bedazzling their clamshell cell phones with diamonds while their jobs hung by a thread. Those who saved, lived within their means and held down jobs while their neighbors applied for every credit card that came with a free T-shirt while still collecting unemployment may feel entitled to use their refund on something borderline frivolous this year, and don't need their self-righteous neighbors who recently found financial religion telling them what to do.
According to the National Retail Federation's 2011 Tax Returns Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIGresearch, of the 66.2% of Americans expecting a refund this year, 42.1% will sock their refunds away -- up from 40.3% last year. Meanwhile, 41.9% will pay down credit card and mortgage debt.
That's perfectly OK, we guess, but it seems like the 13.2% of Americans who are going to spend their refund on a big-ticket item this year, up from 12.5% last year, will have a lot more fun.
Some cash-strapped cities are charging out-of-towners for use of police, emergency responders and other services.
This article is by Tim Martin of The Associated Press.
Out-of-towners would be wise to drive carefully when passing through Fraser, Mich., a suburb about 15 miles northeast of Detroit.
The city this year began charging non-residents who cause wrecks for the public safety and emergency response time involved in the accident. The fee is one of many revenue-raising ideas being considered by cities nationwide dealing with budget problems.
Reluctant to raise taxes on their own residents, local governments are looking increasingly at out-of-towners. But critics complain that the fees amount to taxation without representation, or double taxation, since those people already pay for roads and public safety services in their own communities. And unsuspecting out-of-town motorists who've have faced the bills say they send a hostile message.
Texas and California lead the nation in residents who wait until the last week to file their returns.
April has arrived, meaning millions of taxpayers are scrambling to finish their 2010 tax returns. Except, if this tax filing season is like previous ones, in Houston.
For the fifth time in 10 years, Houston has claimed top honors, if you want to call it that, on TurboTax's annual list of America's most tax procrastinating cities. It was the latest-filing city the year before, too.
In fact, it seems that many of my fellow Texans aren't in a big hurry to finish up federal returns. Three of the five slowest filing cities are in the Lone Star State.
My laid-back neighbors here in Austin helped the Texas capital come in fourth for the second year in a row. Just to our south is San Antonio, which debuted at number five. Dallas eked into the top 10. Big D had been number nine the previous year.
Only California comes close to Texas in tax procrastination. The Golden State had three cities in the top 10 and another in the top 20.
Big companies use all the legal tools at their disposal to cut the amount they pay the government.
It's been a week since we all learned about General Electric's innovation in the corporate tax realm.
The company's vice president for communications and public affairs, Gary Sheffer, responded to The New York Times' story breaking the GE's tax saving situation via a letter in Thursday's newspaper:
It was significant losses at GE Capital in the financial crisis, not 'tax avoidance' strategies, that reduced General Electric's 2010 overall tax ratebelow historic levels.
Without these financial crisis losses at GE Capital, G.E.'s tax rate would have been near the average of other multinational corporations. Our tax rate will return to more normal levels this year as GE Capital recovers from the financial crisis. In short, when you lose money, you don't pay taxes, and that's what happened at GE Capital.
The Times points out that G.E.'s job numbers in the United States are down over the past decade, but does not provide the context: G.E.'s employment in the United States has increased in this period, apart from the sale of businesses. Those jobs weren't eliminated; they moved to other companies.
While the GE tax situation has highlighted the corporate tax reform debate, the company is not alone in finding ways to reduce, or eliminate, tax liabilities.
The Daily Beast has put together a gallery of 15 major corporate tax dodgers. The website focused on the largest American companies, as well as ones it says are "are notorious in accounting circles for consistency in doing whatever they can to minimize their U.S. tax liability."

South Korea
South Korea
Long neglected by tourists, today South Korea is impressing visitors with its modish shops, traditional temples and dazzling efficiency. Seoul, with its fast-adapting citizens carrying the latest high-tech devices, is a hub of modernity. Delve into the rural parts of the country to find ancient relics, sizzling barbecue and elaborate, multi-coloured palaces. The world's cleanest public toilets are also a bonus.
Thailand holidays often centre around cosmopolitan Bangkok, but Thailand's beautiful islands, like Phuket and Koh Samui, definitely merit some exploration as well. Holiday around northern Chiang Mai for trekking and rafting with Thailand's hill tribes. Culture vultures on holiday in Thailand will love the UNESCO-listed ancient capital, Ayutthaya. Plenty of spicy local cuisine tops the holiday off a treat.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I chose to use the white background with gold and black print, and it looked great. It's not too busy, like some other invitations can be, and this is a simple way of stating a lot. I used the free (but high quality) card stock - which looked fantastic. But, I did not use the Pearl White Shimmer to get the luminescent look, though I would recommend it if you can splurge on that if you want the metallic look. (the cardstock does not give the metallic look). I love my invitations and the service on the proofs was very fast and helpful. Highly recommend!"
"We are having an October wedding in Salem, Ma. Our colors are black, gold, and ivory so we were looking for something to match of course. I wanted the main color to be black with gold writing and a lot of other sites didn't have this. The foil stamps really gave these invitations something extra which we loved. The artist was wonderful to work with, we went back and forth via email a couple times and they really make sure you get exactly what you want. I would definitely order from wedding paper divas again!"
"This was the only invitation we could both agree on! He loved the modern layout, I loved the simple elegance. Both our names are long and didn't fit originally, but Dwayne did amazing job adjusting the design until we got it just right! He seriously treated it like he was designing his own invites and made the whole thing work seamlessly."
"These couldn't have turned out any more perfect! I was amazed how fast they were delivered, almost 2 whole weeks before the expected arrival date. I love that the designers take the time to edit your text and layout to make sure it looks flawless. I can't thank you enough and would more than recommend this style! I will definitely be ordering thank you cards from you!"
"This invitation was way more than I expected upon opening up our package. We had it customized completely to our liking by the designers including adding something on last minute, and it was absolutely exactly what we wanted. We got the pearl shimmer over which lessens the white of the paper a bit. Our family and friends LOVE it! The only thing I would suggest is getting lined envelopes, as ours are a bit see-through. :)"

By Ryan ErmanniFox 2 NewsHOLLY, Mich. (WJBK) -- "I Am Adam Lanza's Mother" was a blog that has gone viral over the past few days written by a mother that lives in fear of her emotionally disturbed child. It's sparked a nationwide conversation about what to do if that is you. There is help.Rose Hill in Holly is a residential psychiatric treatment facility. Ben Robinson is the president and CEO. He offered this advice."For individuals in that situation, they may need to reach out to mental healthcare givers themselves to understand the dynamics of what's going on. They need to protect themselves and their family, through the appropriate law enforcement agencies if necessary," he said."We've had many situations here at Rose Hill where that happens," said Vice President of Programs Cheryl Leclear Wallace. "Mental illness can trigger symptoms that can be fearful for families, so getting the help that somebody needs so that they can internalize that, understand that, and we can work together to rebuild the bridges."One of the most important things to note if you are in a similar situation is you are not alone."There are support groups out there of other family members such as the NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness, that has local organizations that help family members that have been through this to get peer support, if you will," Robinson said.Meanwhile, do to patient privacy issues, it can make things extremely difficult for a family member who is trying to help."If it's very severe, if something is going on that you really need to intervene on, you can look at guardianship for that person. If they're unable to take care of themselves and they need to have that service, then probate court is where you would start for getting a guardianship," Wallace said."Mostly it's going to be in relationship to that individual. If the individual is really incapacitated, there's always the opportunity, as I mentioned, of pursuing guardianship through the probate court system and the courts will determine whether that's necessary. Then the family member would have where they would be giving consent to care," said Robinson.If you would like more information about Rose Hill, visit www.rosehillcenter.org.

Gentleman's Half Hose in Ringwood Pattern
I know what you're thinking, right? Didn't you just see a pair just like this a few weeks back? Knee socks? Really? In August? Who knits knee socks in July and August? Well, I do. And I am not alone: Christy and Joyousknits both finished this same pattern in July and Sarah started on a pair too.
These were the fastest socks I have ever knit: the pair took only five and a half days! Sadly, their rapid production says little about my speed a lot about the hours I spent glued to my books! As a bonus, I can cross off another Knitting Vintage Socks pattern: seven down, only 17 to go!
Pattern: Gentleman's Half Hose in Ringwood Pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks
Yarn: Opal Uni in #1415
Needles: US 1.5
I did not alter the pattern at all and I found it to fit perfectly. I most certainly will use this stitch pattern again; it was fast and easy to memorize, involved little purling and produced a firm and not too stretchy fabric. I doubt I will even need to run elastic through the cuffs to keep these socks up but only wear will tell. And isn't the texture of this stitch pattern wonderful?
The calf shaping briefly appeared to be too high but the socks fit remarkably well. I imagine the aggressive calf shaping placed higher up the leg contributes to keeping these socks up.
I cannot speak highly enough of this sock pattern. Leave it to Nancy Bush to use a terribly simple stitch pattern to create a snug, well shaped and attractive sock. While not too exciting to knit, this is ideal if you need a good, mindless, on the go sock pattern.
While I have more finished products waiting to be blogged, I thought I would leave you with a preview of some current work. I'm a bit disappointed that I have blogged only finished objects this summer. When I read knit blogs, I almost prefer reading works in progress posts over finished object posts, if only because I learn more from them. In the spirit of blogging WIPs as well as FOs, here are a few of the ongoing projects I have right now:
Aaron's Aran is almost to the armhole divide but progress slowed to a halt when I had to rip a few inches. My love for this project has waned a bit purely because I loathe the Addi Lace needles I bought for it. I suppose some people must like brass needles but all I smell is metal: my hands, my yarn and my needles all reek of that awful, metallic smell. Ugh! I still love the sweater so I will finish it this fall but I will never buy another brass needle as long as I live.
I cast on for a tweedy yoked baby sweater to use up some New England Harrisville yarn I bought to swatch Aaron's Aran. I will likely need to buy more yarn – so much for a stash buster project, right?
The dullest knitting project Katharine Hepburn Cardigan progresses slowly, in large part because of the painfully boring stitch pattern. The back is done and blocked but I only have half of one front done.
ONE! Fascine Braid sock by Tiennie! Go get this pattern! It's free, easy and pretty! I only wish I had chosen a color other than brown – the pattern is barely visible with this yarn.
A collection of irregular squares (pieced with scrap fabrics) for a quilt. This is a gift so I likely will not blog much about it until I finish.
Next time, there will be some more sewing FOs and a visit by Jennie!

Ok, I have to admit, I wasn't PLANNING to make them kneesocks. But yours came out so cute, I might just!!
I love the colors in your quilt.
Lots going on!!! Love the knee socks – I need to get some of your sock mojo going at my place!!
Wow, lots of fun stuff in this post!
Man. Every time I see a sock you've knit, I want to knit it. You keep making me casting on new socks. STOP IT! Dammit, I want to knit sweaters!
I knew it was going to be a long post when I saw all those categories . . . Great socks! How was the MCAT?
whoa! those were some fast socks! and they are brilliant. right combo of yarn and pattern :)
I applaud your knee socks in August. They are fabulous and you are extremely fast!
Holy, that's a lot of pretty stuff. Your kneehighs are fabulous. Love the colour and the texture of them!
Thanks for the warning about brass needles. The smell would drive me crazy too!
I've been looking for a good, mindless sock-on-the go pattern to put on my list. *And* I loved this sock when I first got that book, so I think I may follow your lead. The fact that they look so good helps, too. So cute!
And ditto on the smell from those needles. I feel like a little kid who's been running around getting sweaty for hours holding a handful of pennies. Drives me bonkers (I'm using them for the project I'm working on right now. I will say the smell is helping me knit faster so I can be done sooner!) but I love the tips. I talked to the folks at Skacel about it and – guess what – it has to do with our chemistry: some folks get that smell, some don't. Some, even, get a weird black film – ew. So I'm just gonna take a sec to be grateful for only the smell, not the smell plus black schmutz.
Your Ringwood socks are lovely! (Altho… I think "ringworm" everytime I see that name.) And I am looking forward to knitting some Fascine Braid socks – very cool pattern.
I can't believe you can have all those projects on the needles and study at the same time! You amaze me. Lovely lovely projects! I was pretty excited to see that you casted on the Fascine Braid Socks – thanks!!
That's some nice stuff you've got going. Hmmm, you're right, I too should post more WIP stuff, as it does help other knitters. I know I've learned a lot from other bloggers that way! Thanks for sharing.
Nuts, I just swatched for the Katharine Hepburn Cardigan and see what you mean by boring, but I hope it will be worth it in the end (yours will be finished before mine, so I'll get to see if it's worth it!). Love the kneesocks, too.
Great knee socks!
The socks are lovely but I have never knitted knee socks before – have to give it a try. I feel the same about the Addi lace needles as I hate the smell of metal – use it once & never again. Love the dresses that you made – you look so good in them.

Happy Birthday, Meat Loaf!!
Thursday, September 27, 2012
Happy Birthday to Meat Loaf, who turns 65-years-old today (September 27th)!!! Throughout the years, Meat Loaf has given conflicting reports as to the actual date of his birth -- not out of vanity, but as a general payback to an at times harsh rock press. When we asked him what year he was born in, he said: "Anywhere from '46 to '54, take your pick. When I'm doing press, I make up stories, 'cause what's the difference in me making up stories, or their making up stories? So I figure, if they can do it, why can't I?"
Meat Loaf is touring behind his latest album, Hell In A Handbasket. The album, which is his followup to 2009's Hang Cool Teddy Bear set, features appearances by rapper Chuck D. on "Blue Sky/Mad Mad World/The Good God Is A Woman And She Don't Like Ugly," along with a reunion of his fellow Celebrity Apprentice cast mates -- Trace Adkins, Lil Jon, and Mark McGrath -- on "Stand In The Storm." On October 16th, he'll release his new concert DVD, called The Guilty Pleasure Tour.
Despite some well-received work of the years, Meat Loaf will always be best remembered for his 1977 blockbuster, Bat Out Of Hell. He told us that the album has grown beyond a successful '70s album into a full-blown cultural phenomenon: "It's no longer about me. It belongs to you, and you create your own stories, and you create your own place in time for that record. Everything is geared so that when you hear it, you're funneled right into that speaker, and it becomes a visual of your life as opposed to a visual of my life."
UPDATED: Meat Loaf tour dates (subject to change):
October 19 - Prior Lake, MN - Mystic Lake Casino
October 21 - Cedar Falls, IA - McLeod Center
October 24 - Cleveland, OH - State Theatre
October 27 - Uncasville, CT - Mohegan Sun Arena
October 29 - London, ON - The John Labatt Centre
November 1 - New York, NY - Beacon Theatre
November 7 - Port Chester, NY - The Capitol Theatre

Evening ReadingI'm not exactly sure what triggered the impulse, but I've been revisiting the show 'Sifl and Olly' recently on ye ol' YouTubes.
For the uninitiated, 'Sifl and Olly' was a short-lived comedy show created by musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco that aired on late-night MTV from 1997-'99. It bears the distinction of being one of the most-beloved pieces of original comedy programming the network ever aired, while also being one of the lowest-rated. Sadly, despite fan requests, it's unclear if series will ever see a re-release that isn't so rare that it immediately becomes ridiculously expensive.
On that note, have a crescentfresh chatty.

VOLTA NY is an invitational show of emerging solo artists projects and the American incarnation of the successful young fair founded in Basel in 2005. VOLTA NY was conceived in 2008 by Artistic Director
Amanda Coulson as a tightly-focused, boutique event that is a place for discovery, a showcase for relevant art contemporary positions regardless of the artist's or gallerys age.
By refocusing the fair-going experience to solo-artist projects, VOLTA's New York edition promotes a deep exploration of the work of its invited participants and offers the opportunity for new discoveries. VOLTA showcases galleries whether young or mature that choose to work with the most exciting emerging artists. These galleries must maintain deeply meaningful connections with their artists and follow them throughout their careers. In turn, select galleries elevate their respective platforms for an experience mutually beneficial to fair visitors and the galleries alike.
VOLTA NY is a platform for challenging, often complimentary and sometimes competing ideas about contemporary art. The strict solo format gives the New York fair its unique character, which curators and collectors often compare favorably to experiencing a series of intense studio visits.
It was another successful VOLTA, so congrats on that success and the great numbers that turned out! Everyone, and I mean numerous collectors and curators, emphatically stated that VOLTA was the best fair in New York. Another testament to your vision and execution and I am proud to be a (happy) member of the VOLTA family!
Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, New Orleans (returning exhibitor)
Thank you very much for including us in another amazing year at VOLTA NY! We appreciate your attention to detail and all your hard work! It makes our work so much easier!
robert henry contemporary, Brooklyn (second-time exhibitor)
Thank you so much a wonderful first experience at VOLTA. We had a fantastic fair, met lots of people and had wonderful neighbors. Everyone at VOLTA was so great and easy to work with.
RYAN LEE, New York (first-time exhibitor)
I just wanted to connect... and send you and the entire VOLTA team a very big and sincere thanks for all your great hospitality last week. The fair was exceptionally beautiful... the strongest yet... and organized like clock work. We heard nothing but good things from everyone who came to visit us. And the quality of visitors and collectors was extremely smart. We ended the fair on a real high note with several sales of large works. Amen to that.
PATRICK MIKHAIL GALLERY, Ottawa (returning exhibitor)
VOLTA NY 2014 was my first New York fair and I am exceedingly happy to say so. I am partial to the solo presentation format, but must add that the vibe is great, the location is excellent and it is extremely well-run. Plus, as a bonus, a number of my favorite dealer friends do VOLTA which is a nice thing.
David Shelton Gallery, Houston (first-time exhibitor)
Congratulation to the VOLTA organizers and the curator for a great show this year. Of all the fairs, VOLTA was the most memorable experience for me.
Just to add my voice to the chorus of well-wishers: I loved this years VOLTA. It was the best fair this year and also the best VOLTA so far. Im looking forward to next years fair!

A UCSF-led team has discovered a sensory system in the foreleg of the male fruit fly that answers a central problem in evolution that is poorly understood: how animals of one species know not to mate with animals of other species.

What causes pond odor?
Andy – Seattle, WA
When your pond starts to smell like old socks, there's a very good chance that (a) it's not well aerated; and (b) it's full of decaying debris. The third alternative – that your pond is filled with dirty socks – is a long shot, so we won't even bother to address it. But stagnant, debris filled ponds? We've got the answers you need.
First, and most importantly, we'll turn to aeration. With the properly sized aeration system – our Airmax Aeration Systems are available in a range of options – the water in your pond circulates several times a day. The process of circulation helps to remove the gases produced by decomposing debris. Because those gases are responsible for the vast majority of the foul odors associated with stagnant ponds, this first step is vitally important – and extremely effective.
To complete the job, however, you'll need to remove and/or break down the odor-producing debris. To accomplish that job, nothing is more effective than our PondLogic® PondClear and PondLogic® MuckAway. Comprised of beneficial, environmentally friendly bacteria, PondClear removes organics and excess nutrients from pond water, helping to stop foul odors before they start. As an added benefit, PondClear improves water clarity and enhances your pond's overall health.
Like PondClear, MuckAway introduces environmentally friendly bacteria to your pond. The bacteria then gets to work on the muck at the bottom of your pond or lakefront, reducing it by as much as 5" per year. In the process of breaking muck down, MuckAway also eliminates odor-causing gases to keep your pond looking – and smelling – the way it should.

Just in time for Independence Day holiday driving, gas prices in Illinois and Indiana are finally dropping, the AAA reports.
After months of sharp price increases, drivers are currently paying on average, $3.75 and $3.42 respectively for a gallon of regular unleaded in Illinois and Indiana, according to AAA Chicago. This is the lowest prices have been since April 19.
"The refinery issues that pushed prices higher this spring have been resolved, and Illinois and Indiana drivers are enjoying some welcome relief just in time for Fourth of July holiday travel," AAA Chicago spokeswoman Beth Mosher said in a statement.
In June in Illinois, gas prices averaged $4.05, which was up 6 cents from May and up 34 cents from a year ago, according to AAA. In northern Indiana, gas prices averaged $3.96 in June, which was even from May and up 31 cents from June 2012.
As of Tuesday morning, the average price in Chicago was $4.144, according to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report. Last month that same gallon was $4.386. In the metro area outside Chicago, a gallon was averaging $3.903 Tuesday morning, compared to $4.202 a month ago.
In Gary, Ind., the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded was $3.452 Tuesday morning, compared with $4.007 a month ago, according to AAA.

Thinking that she accidentally hit a large cat just after midnight Wednesday with her van, a woman in Veazie, Maine, put the unconscious animal in her vehicle to get it help.
But after driving for several miles, she realized that this was no ordinary house cat: it was a wild bobcat. She quickly pulled over and got out, and the bobcat jumped out and went under the van, seeking protection, authorities said.
Sadly, the cat had to be put down because the strike from the car was fatal. Authorities reminded citizens not to touch what might be a wild animal -- and to call for help when in doubt.

pics, advice, info and stories for pet lovers
Can dogs have best friends?
The strong bonds that dogs can form are undeniable.
10 things your pet won't tell you
Think you know your pet's every unspoken wish? Think again. Your pet is unlikely to be capable of communicating her wants and needs in ways you might assume she would. Even those of you most in touch with your pets' feelings are likely missing a few cues here and there.
10 dog breeds that love and hate the water
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever made both our readers' and veterinary professionals' lists of breeds that love the water.
7 signs your dog owns you
You might proudly call yourself a dog owner, pet parent or canine guardian, but let's be real: Your dog owns you. You might be laughing now, but think about it — you've surrendered the best seat on the sofa to him, you plan your entire weekend around his trips to the dog park, and you take him to the groomer more often than you get your own hair cut. And let's not forget who's in every photo on your Facebook and Instagram feeds. Sound familiar? We thought so. But in case you still think you're in charge, here are seven classic signs that your dog is the one calling the shots.
9 unusual dog breeds the vet is seeing more of
One of the best things about being a veterinarian is all the different dogs I get to meet. Of course, I love the Labs and Beagles and Boxers and Poodles, not to mention those crazy Canine Cocktails, or what my parents used to call Heinz 57s. They are among the more popular dogs out there, and I see a lot of them. In fact, it used to be that it was rare to see anything else. Here are nine dog breeds I sometimes see now that I didn't see in the past.
10 dog breeds that shed the most and least
We asked veterinary experts and readers which breeds they think and if it is OK to shave longhaired pets in the summer.
12 kid-friendly cat breeds
If you're searching for a breed that may enjoy the company of a kid, we have some great suggestions for you.
9 large dogs that can be good for families
When searching for the right dog to add to your family, your first instinct might be to bring home a tiny little thing that your kids can cradle in their laps. But we're here to remind you that the best fit for you may be a large dog breed.
11 stubborn dog breeds
Many breeds were developed to do work that required them to act independently. Those dogs tend to be smart, but as family pets, they may need more leadership and training than others. Ultimately, though, they're worth it. Here are 11 dog breeds that tend to have independent personalities.
13 pets with cool coats and markings
Many of us here at Vetstreet are fascinated by pets who have unique coats and cool shapes hidden in their markings. So we asked our Facebook fans to share pictures of animals that have interesting coloration, and you did not disappoint. From mustachioed cats to a horse of a different color, here are our 13 favorite photos of pets with cool coats.
Dog breeds most likely to chew something up and land in the ER
We surveyed 284 veterinary professionals (including vets, veterinary technicians and office staff) to see which breeds they felt were most likely to chew something they shouldn't and wind up in the veterinary emergency room, and we've listed the top five answers below. Do you agree with their opinions? Which breeds would you add to the list?
Help your pet brave the Fourth of July fireworks
This Fourth of July, Americans will celebrate with the sights and sounds of fireworks. While we love the pyrotechnics, it's important to remember that our patriotic midsummer spectacular is no holiday for many of our pets.

Part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was revised under the Education Amendments of 1972, guaranteeing that "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
Although most people will recognize this as Title IX—the law that provided equal opportunities for women in collegiate athletics—it applies to nine other key areas in federally-supported education as well. And while most will associate Title IX with collegiate athletics, the legislation has had a titanic and pervasive impact on high school athletics as well.Subscribe to Read!

Etzebeth cited for eye-gouging
Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth has been cited for making contact with the "eye or eye area" of Scotland fly-half Greig Laidlaw.
The alleged incident occurred in the second half of South Africa's 21-10 victory at Murrayfield on Saturday.
21-year-old Etzebeth will appear before an International Rugby Board disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
South Africa play England at Twickenham on Saturday.
The IRB's recommended sanctions for any player found guilty of 'eye-gouging' range from a low entry point of 12 weeks to a high entry point of 24 weeks with a maximum possible ban of three years.
Meanwhile, Argentina prop Juan Figallo has been cited for head-butting France captain Pascal Pape at the end of the Pumas' 39-22 defeat in Lille on Saturday night.
Figallo's hearing is listed for Wednesday. Argentina face Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.

Drinking coffee is the age-old way of staying awake, but now there's a new way to get that jolt. It's called Sprayable Energy, a spray caffeine that's absorbed through your skin.
Co-creator and Harvard student Ben Yu says he created it because coffee gave him too many jitters.
"Nothing really worked for me, but still being tired all the time, it was always on the back burner on my mind that there must be a better solution out there," he says.
The spray is made up of caffeine, water, and an amino acid derivative. It promises a smooth, long-lasting caffeine boost.
But Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a Mount Sinai dermatologist, says if you have sensitive skin, beware.
"Creams that contain caffeine for under-eye circles, or for cellulite, have not been shown to be harmful to the skin," he says. "But I would be cautious in people who have very sensitive skin because you don't want them to develop an allergic reaction to any ingredients in the spray."
The creators claim they've tested it on hundreds of people with no incident.
The product launches in November and is available online.
