Oh, and call me bad mom of the year. I just realized last night I'm going to miss Conner's opening day I'm a bit sad about that. It's his first one ever. I told Rich to make the kids take lots of pics for me.

Erin nice to see you! Glad you were able to get your internet fixed!
Bridget that is fantastic news!! I hope they get their butts in gear and get you paid ASAP.
We dont have a dirt guy, but we do have a mulch guy. He brings up truckloads of mulch whenever we ask (speaking of which) and DH is his stucco guy DH will do repairs for him for free generally or work for cheap depending on how big the job is.
We dont have choice in utility provider (which I think is ridiculous). Luckily we live in an area where our electric company is a cooperative. The rates are lower than most and we even get a rebate back on our bill at the end of the year depending on the organizations profit margin (usually almost a months worth of electric).
We have a well and most of the places Ive lived in growing up have. I couldnt imagine having to pay for water; the concept is SO foreign to me. Our garbage is relatively cheap 37ish every 3 months. Honestly they tend to get paid like once a year since I always forget to send the bill until they call me and are like ummm . Were going to stop picking up your trash. Whoops
I love to garden, er I would if I ever had time. Ive been wanting to do something right along the front of the house for the . 5+ years weve been living there I dont even know where to start. Its grass/weeds so Ill have to kill them off and than under that is basically sand, so Ill have to put in good dirt, etc. I get overwhelmed when I start getting things together to do it, so than I put it off cause I just dont have the time to invest in it like I should.
We are remodeling the second room right now. Our plan is to move Nolan in there, since it is bigger, and put him in a toddler bed so we can use the cribe for the new baby. Though really we don't need the crib for a while since I just keep the baby in the bassinett/in the bed with me, but we want to get Nolan transitioned before than just in case it takes him time to adjust and we (meaning DH) isn't getting up with a NB and Nolan at the same time.
The project is getting pricey. I mean, my hubs is absolutely awesome at the handy man stuff. He is a talented guy and does GREAT work and has amazing ideas - that in consequence are expensive as all get out. He is already over budget and we are not done yet. Sigh. He's so set on the room being like this awesome thing for Nolan. He's wanting to rope lights inset behind trim about 6 inches from the ceiling with a space border on top. Like this http://images.meredith.com/diy/image...CTC_150_10.jpg with this border http://www.brewsterwallcovering.com/...ts-border.aspx
I love it and know its going to look awesome, but I think he might be going a WEE bit overboard. He's been in overdrive since I asked him what the best day to make the gender u/s would be for him. Anyways, do I have a point? No. Just babbling, carry on with your lives
A bunch of our neighbors use chem lawn, but there is no way in hell I'm putting a bunch of chemicals out where my kids and dog play. I'd rather it be bare dirt.
AKA Lisa724
I'm sorry you're going to miss Conner's opening day. Do you mean for baseball/t ball? We missed the registration for that...again...but Josh has never really asked to join so I don't think he'll miss it. He's still bugging me about karate. One of the other moms at church said she could get us a free month and uniform at a place her kids go to so I'm probably going to contact her about that again. I hope Conner has a great time!
We we moved in there was already a raised garden bed, but it was totally overgrown and so was our grass. The woman was renting out the house to college students and she didn't take good care of the land. It was actually one of our requests that she get the lawn mowed before we moved in and she even fought us on that but we were pleasantly surprised when it was move in day and it had been mowed. So we planted grass seed, weeded the garden and rebuilt the wall around it and now our whole yard looks pretty nice.
We don't do anything about the dandelions in the yard but we spray stuff on our driveway and path when weeds pop through. Bo doesn't go out front because there's no fence and Josh doesn't play on that side either so I don't really worry about the chemicals.
We are involved in the project of redoing our back yard to put in some grass right now. That's what dh used the excavator for the other weekend -- tearing out the 50 year old crap that was there. Then we rototilled and threw in a driveway full of compost. This weekend we used a trencher and a pickax to dig trenches and lay a sprinkler system. Yesterday I spent the whole day digging out the rest of the trenches with a hand spade while dh laid the pipes. We are seriously broken people at the moment... the manual labor is a killer. Hopefully we'll finish the sprinklers by next week so we can lay the sod. It'll be nice to have a place for the kids to walk and lie around. Lying in grass looking up at the sky is one of the best things about childhood, imo.
And, ironically, the excavator totally killed most of the grass in the FRONT yard, so now we have to try to fix that. We put in seed but it's not doing much so far.
Bridget, we eat dandelion leaves in salads, but for some reason I'm loathe to eat the ones that grow as weeds in our yard. I don't know why. It just seems weird somehow.
Oh I love that border Christina! What a great theme for his room. You will have to post pictures when done too. I don't expect our nursery to be done until at least sometime in July.
We did a lawn service one year but after that we have done it ourselves. I'm not thrilled using chemicals but I will do it. Especially the stuff to kill the ticks. I have fields on two sides of my yard and live in a heavy tick area. I would rather do chemicals and just keep the dogs off the grass for a day or two than get ticks. There are at least 3 diseases that ticks carry in my area and I know many people who have had them or their dogs have had one of them.
In your shoes, I'd rotate the dogs, so you're only dealing with one at a time, and can focus more on it. It will take more time, but will likely be more effective in the long run. Take dog out for a short walk. Reward heavily for doing their business outside. And this should be THE BEST REWARD EVAH! Hot dogs work very well for food motivated dogs (nuke 'em after cutting them into small bits, so they're not slimy, and easy to handle). So, dog goes potty, you say 'Good potty!' and give a treat. Every once in a while (you determine the frequency), you jackpot the dog. Meaning, you give him extra treats, loving, play, whatever motivates the dog. Once the dogs are reliable outside, you can phase out the rewards. If you go out and they don't produce, they go back in the crate. My preference, when someone is home, is for them to be tethered to the human (put leash through the belt loop), but in your case, it might be difficult, or you can try attaching them to something, like furniture, that would limit their movement. The idea is to restrict their opportunity to have accidents inside. If you catch them in the act, interrupt with an 'Uh-uh', and take outside, and reward for going outside. If they have an accident, clean up with a good enzyme cleaner.
I agree with Suja. We use Natures miracle from petsmart. I think other places carry it too though.
With two small dogs like that, you might want to think about a litter box. It's a bit of a pain to buy litter and change it out but it is so handy to just put the dog in there instead of having to leash up and go outside. When I was training Molly, I put her in there pretty much every 20 minutes....or if I thought she might have to go (hard to tell with a beagle nose always to the ground!). Now both dogs will go on command OR will go on their own. like huh, i have to go potty and will run in there and go. I do have the box in the laundry room because sometimes they miss and at least the floor is vinyl in there.
This is what we use http://www.doglitter.com/ We have used it since Cosmo was a baby so 9.5 years. My dogs are 25 and 33 lbs so at the top of the range of what I would put in a litter box. Smaller dogs are much easier because they pee less so it doesn't soak the liter up quite as fast.
Now I am not sure what we will do with a baby crawling. I can close the laundry room door and only leave them access when we aren't home or at night. As it is Cosmo will mostly ask to go outside instead of using the box. Pee soaks into the litter....both girls generally will use the same spot each time so we clean that spot after a few days and rotate the stuff in back to the front. Poos need to be picked up.
I am on the chemicals in the yard bandwagon. Florida = Bugs = Me spraying whatever is neccesarily to kill the fleas, ticks, ants, etc
We have a Chihuahua (mix) and he was impossible to train. We got him as an adult from friends that moved where they couldn't have him. They couldn't find a home for him and we couldn't bare him going to a shelter (we really didn't thik anyone would adopt him, so we know what happens than....) They never appropriately trained him and at 5+ years old, DH and I failed miserably to change his ways. We crated and than walked for a while, but he kept going in the crate and I couldn't handle the smell anymore. We tried letting him go in the fenced in yard and he kept digging out Now he's on a runner, with a lifted dog house, and that's how it has to be unfortunately. We still have the crate set up in case the weather warrants him needing to come in (you know those one or two days a year that are cold here )

Dogs that cannot be toilet trained are pretty much unadoptable. It works in their favor a little that they're small, but chances of them finding a home that will keep them is exceedingly low.
I am utterly grumpy right now because of the tendonitis in my left wrist. Ugh. Maybe holding the plank position for 3 minutes wasn't such a good idea afterall at boot camp on Monday. I might have to revert back to swimming as much as I hate it. Swimming doesn't leave me feeling crippled. I thought exercise was supposed to be good for the body? I feel
Like my body just says no to exercise.
I'm going to rant a little. Next week is teacher appreciation week at Mira's school. And Monday is school supplies day. As in, we're supposed to provide the classroom with something by way of supplies. To me, this is just a way for the school to further 'cheap out' of providing stuff for the classroom, by making the parents, who already pay a hell of a lot of money, to shell out even more. Her former teacher had told me that their classroom budget is $25/month, but I'm fairly certain this one said that they don't have a budget for the classrooms anymore. How about the school actually uses some of what would be their profit to buy pencils and whatnot for the classroom? As it is, we're working with no budget on putting together International Day, and I've bought lots of supplies for decorating the classroom and crafts. We are fortunately in the position where we can afford to do this, but there are lots of parents that are cutting corners as it is to send their kids to the school. This just pisses me off.
That's the way schools seem to be going. Our classroom teacher uses so much of his own income to buy supplies for kids. We no longer have a budget for a language teacher either, so they expect teaching assistants like myself to do the language lessons. You should see me teach French. It's ridonkulous!
I read something somewhere about how - when Martha Stewart was in prison - she collected dandelion weeds from the prison yard to put in salads so she could get the extra nutrients. It kind of endeared me to her, even though I find her so grating. Dandelion greens are a superfood for sure, but so bitter to me.
Ash, could you just modify your plank to this? It's not only easier on the wrist, but on the shoulders as well:
My boss is driving me nucking futs. You can't win with her. I told her in writing that I was taking off an hour early to make up for having to join an offshore call this evening and she complained I was oversharing and that I don't need to notify her when it's just an hour here/there. Then in the next minute, she complained when I was out of the office (with my medical emergency) last week that no one knew where I was when I was hurrying on the way to the doctor and that I should have written it onto the group calendar (that I was rushing off to have a medical emergency).
Then she reiterated that she'd like to see me "come out of my shell". I told her flat out that she makes me uncomfortable when she says that because I feel I've been myself, and her saying I need to "come out" just makes me feel like she wants me to change the person I am. She back-pedaled a bit and said, "what I mean is, sometimes we just want you to come with us to lunch, and we can never find you." That's mainly because I work out in the middle of the day. Am I supposed to change my workout routine and just let myself get (more) out of shape just to satisfy her? I told her I don't get the chance to exercise much in the mornings/evenings because I have a small child and so I take the opportunity to use the gym facilities here during my midday break. If it's a lunch I know about in advance, I'd be happy to join them. Anyway, I'm pretty sure she wasn't 100% happy with that answer. What can I do, right?
Myles, that is the style of plank I do already. We did that and the side ones. I think it's because I held it for so long. I didn't do myself any favors. Every time I sneezed today, I felt like my abs were going to burst out of my skin. LOL.
I can see why your boss is driving you futs. That's ridiculous what she's said. Maybe they can all join you at the gym if they are that desperate to hang with you?
Oh for Cry-Yi, as my grandfather used to say. It's one thing to socialize with your co-workers, and another thing have business lunches, but to have LACK of lunching together as a negative on your evaluations? Really, I like my co-workers a lot and I sit in the same lunch room with them at lunch time, but I will deliberately turn my back to them and get on the computer, because it's the only time during the day that I have to check my email and not have to converse or be polite. If your boss expects you to socialize regularly as part of your working there, then your lunch should not be considered your free time and that should be an expectation up front. That really chaps my hide. I don't think there is really any reason you should have to justify taking your lunch break by yourself, and I would be getting more and more annoyed if I were you and feeling more and more defensive about this amorphous personality issue that she keeps bringing up. If this is the objective performance improvement she wants to see, I would ask what exactly the expectation is for how many times lunch socialization is per week or per month, and if you need to do after-work activities as well, and when you can expect a re-evaluation of your performance. GRRRRR!
You guys get it. Thanks for growling for me, L. This woman says some pretty outrageous things (like, she's talked smack about one of my peers, saying he's "just a kid", so basically, she'd never consider him for the open position on her team). Very unprofessional. So, anyway, I know I don't want to work for her on any permanent sort of basis. I'm just going to live up to my own performance standards and put up with the occasional snark about how I keep too much to myself (for as long as I hold out here).
So while I'm at it, here's one more thing that came out of my productive () discussion today (feel free to gloss over; I'm just venting at this point ):
I'm working 2 projects for the same system, developed by the same team - we'll call them Projects A and B. Project B has to be put on hold because it's not getting the approvals it needs. So anyway, the system lead person got both projects confused and asked me to confirm that they should hold off on making the code changes for Project A. It was not my mistake. I am in no way confused as to which project is on hold and which one is a go. My boss been copied on my messages about it, so she knew I'd stated it was Project B that was affected. However, because my manager saw the lead's confused e-mail asking about it, she used her blaming tone of voice with me today, as though I was the one who'd misinterpreted things and hadn't been the one to report the Project B delay to her in the first place, and she was like, "I just want to make sure you're absolutely clear on the fact that we need to move forward with Project A." Well, duh! *stomping off to growl and snarl with L now...*

She spoke about her prison experiences quite a few times on that show. I do remember her speaking of collecting dandelion for consumption. She also started a couple classes for the ladies in prison and her retelling of situations and conversations that occurred with some lady with a ghetto name like "LaShanTaNiQua" was so hilarious to me because she told them so seriously and even said something like "one young woman with the most beautiful and unique name - LaShanTaNiQua....." and went on to tell about how she (ghetto name lady) was upset about some sort of craft they were doing and how she and Martha had a conversation and worked things out was just so hilarious to me. I also remember she was speaking to one of the ladies from Desperate Housewives, the redheaded one I think, though it could have been the one who played Susan, and the housewife asked Martha as they were making something with a Kitchen Aid mixer "so Martha, what should people do at home who don't have a Kitchen Aid use to make this recipe" and Martha, being Martha said "They need to save their money and get a Kitchen Aid" lol. So cruel but I just love her for some reason. I am so happy she is back on PBS on 2 shows no less teaching about baking and emulsions. Even DH is enamored with her since I make him watch PBS cooking shows every Saturday morning.
Myles I feel you on the silly co-worker stuff. At my new job they thought I "didn't like them" because I don't sit and eat lunch with them everyday. My boss and co-workers order out nearly every day and I have been trying to change my eating habits and especially not eat so much take out or fast food so I bring my lunch. I also don't like eating in the same general area where I work all day since I sit on my butt all day as it is, I like to get out and take in some different scenery, even if it is just in our breakroom at work and my boss and co-workers were really tripping out about my lunch habits like it was a personal insult to them so now I actually do eat with them once every other week and will be sure to tell them that me wanting to get out of the office has nothing to do with them. I want to tell them to quit being so full of themselves but that wouldn't be appropriate work behavior so I allude to that in a nicer, work-type way.
Erin, if you like Martha Stewart, then listen to this podcast of the NPR news quiz show, "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" where she was a guest contestant, and was pretty hilarious, although I don't know if it was intentional on her part. It's a pretty funny episode in all because I think it's a "best of" recap.
I'm excited because I have a ticket to see the semi-live recording of the show tomorrow night. Well, it's live in Chicago, and it'll be beamed to movie theaters around the country. I actually didn't have anyone to go with so I sent a message out to my mom's club to see if anyone wanted to join, and someone I've never met before is going to meet me there. I imagine that if she likes "Wait, Wait" we're going to be best friends, but I didn't say that because I don't want to put any pressure on her or anything. ;) Only problem is, DH is out tomorrow, and my neighbor with a 3 yr old girl is going to watch B for me. And B has been throwing serious bedtime tantrums lately, the kind where I fear the neighbors will think I'm beating him because he's screaming so loud. So if he seems at all punchy when I pick him up tomorrow, I may have to pull the plug on going out. I just can't leave my neighbor to deal with B when he's like that. :/
Bay Area mommas, btw, the activity group that I co-lead for the mom's club is going Stand-Up Paddleboarding/Kayaking in the harbor in Half Moon Bay on Sunday @11am, and maybe grabbing Cinco de Mayo margaritas afterwards. Would any of you care to join? Let me know, because I will have to reserve the kayak/board for you. They have double kayaks for families and all gear/wetsuits/lifevests even for the kids is included.
Oh man, Myles, that sounds awesome! I'd love to go kayaking (and have always wanted to try paddleboarding). We are pretty messed-up physically at the moment though due to the yard remodel, and will be spending the weekend finishing sprinklers and laying out sod. That sounds like an awesome thing to do, though. Your moms club sounds great (and obviously having such a cool activities group leader). I couldn't even keep a playgroup going in our moms club. I want to live by you.
Appointment this morning and we were able to confirm that the 'maybe' movement I've been feeling is definitely the baby. She wasn't able to find the heartbeat until I showed her where I thought the baby had been hanging out I think he/she was sleep, heartbeat 143
I don't like eating lunch with coworkers either. I do it probably 7 times a year when we got out for someone's birthday or something. I just eat really slowly and never can finish when they do and hate holding people up. And I like to read at lunch. And I really eat slowly if I'm also expected to talk.
I also like Martha Stewart. And she has some cool craft products....I used two of her punchs while making my xmas cards this past year and thought they were pretty nice.
I agree with her Erin, everyone should have a kitchen aid! I just last night mentioned to a friend at dinner that we generally make homemade pizza. She asked what crust we use and I was like um, flour, water, yeast, oil, salt and sugar. I said it was really easy to do and asked if she had a kitchen aid. She said no and I was like, oh then it's not as easy to do. LOL
And I don't even have the attachments for mine and still love it.

Cupid is the most famous of Valentine symbols -- a mischievous, winged child armed with bow and arrows. Cupid aims his arrows at people, causing them to fall deeply in love.
In Roman mythology, Cupid's mother Venus was jealous of the beauty of Psyche, and ordered Cupid to punish the mortal. Instead, Cupid fell deeply in love with her. He took her as his wife, but as a mortal she was forbidden to look at him.
Psyche was happy until her sisters persuaded her to look at Cupid. As soon as Psyche looked at Cupid, Cupid punished her by leaving. Their lovely castle and gardens vanished too. Psyche found herself alone in an open field with no signs of other beings or Cupid.
As she wandered trying to find her love, she came upon the temple of Venus. Wishing to destroy her, the goddess of love gave Psyche a series of tasks. Psyche was given a small box and told to take it to the underworld to capture some of the beauty of Proserpine, the wife of Pluto.
During her trip she was given tips on avoiding the dangers of the realm of the dead and was warned not to open the box. But Temptation overcame Psyche and she opened the box. Instead of finding beauty, she found deadly slumber. Cupid found her lifeless on the ground. He gathered the deadly sleep from her body and put it back in the box. The gods, moved by Psyche's love for Cupid made her a goddess.
Today, Cupid and his arrows have become the most popular of love signs, and love is frequently depicted by two hearts pierced by an arrow -- Cupid's arrow.

Controversy Over Vaccines
Veterinarians divided when it comes to immunity

You are missing part of the story: AAHA is a bulk seller to vets and has a monetary interest in upcoding. See >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2010/06/payola-and-pushers-in-veter...
If you want to know what do do about vaccines, pay atttention to what the world's authority on vaccines does with his own dogs... and has been doing for 30 years. See >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2009/01/billion-dollar-vaccine-scam...

I don't mean to make generalizations about veterinarians, but I was scammed by my first veterinarian about heart-worm treatment. I live in southern Nevada, we don't have the mosquitoes in the middle of the desert, yet the veterinarian office scared me into treating my dog with heart worm treatment and testing every six months. I went along due to my initial ignorance, first dog, but it got a bit ridiculous when they refused to sell me the heart-worm pills unless the dog had been tested "according to the manufacturer" recommendation. It got me worried that the dog would miss a dose of his medicine, I've been giving him the heart-worm pill religiously every month as they told me to do. This vet office also refused to titer test my dog, insisting in yearly vaccine boost and every 6 months bordatella vaccine; they literally told me titer testing was a waste of money when the booster vaccine was only $30 a year, (titer test starts at $90). Due to their refusal to titer test, I then went to another vet's office where they informed me that my dogs didn't need heart-worm treatment at all unless they traveled to a state with known heart-worm incidents. New vet also does titer test in same office now and subscribe to the every 3 year vaccine testing. The lesson is, we need to trust our health providers and veterinarians, that they are up to date with current accepted research and that they don't scam us or scare us into buying treatments that we don't really need. This office where I was scammed (there is no other way to put it nicer) is run by 6 young female vets, and they are very nice and they talk with great authority and the office is very clean and everything would give you the impression that you should trust them. I happened to come across different information, but they are countless older people who are scared into yearly vaccines, unnecessary hear-worm prevention and unnecessary costs.

In the rural county where I live, we only have one veterinary clinic. I am generally pleased with their service, but we have argued for years about vaccines, which I believe are being administered too frequently. If you want to use their boarding kennel, they require your dog to be vaccinated against parvo and kennel cough every six months. There is no scientific evidence that such frequent shots are necessary -- but if you refuse, they won't let you board your dog.

Medications are prescribed based on weight, so I don't see why vaccines wouldn't account for it as well. There's a big difference in med dosage amounts for a 10lb dog and an 80lb dog!

"For years people suspected that pet vaccines didn't need to be administered annually and that immunity was more similar to human shots. Fortunately in the last ten years, veterinary colleges and organizations, such as the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), revisited their guidelines"
This didn't occur because of "people's suspicions" or internal politics of veterinary organizations, it occurred because new research demonstrated the longer duration of immunity we are now aware of. "People's suspicions" were anecdotal and often had more to do with reluctance to vaccinate, money or other reasons. Veterinarians followed manufacturer's recommendations of and at that time, and do so now differently, precisely because those recommendations were able to change, based on the newer research. The implication that immunization was done annually for other than medical reasons as they then existed, i.e. meeting the standard of care of that time, is offensive to conscientious veterinarians.
"becoming more common to find veterinarians who measure antibody levels through blood titers instead of defaulting to regular booster shots (this is one of my requirements when choosing a vet)."
The far greater cost of doing this makes it prohibitive for the vast majority of clients. We offer it, we do it when asked, but the "default" is to the research verified manufacturers recommendations. As every dog and cat is different, many clients choose the now common three year booster, rather than pay more for immunity verification, which may or may not prove that a 4th, 5th or 6th year of immunity still remains.
"Dr. Richard Ford, a 2003 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines Task Force member, has said that the decision to recommend a three year re-vaccination schedule was an arbitrary compromise that was not based on science."
Dr. Ford is entitled to his opinion, as one individual. As an academician, however, he does not much have to deal with cost conscious clients. The compromise to which the author refers is simply based on a three year duration of immunity proved by scientific research. True, it may be possible to demonstrate a longer duration of immunity through more research, however that science is costly and time consuming. As dogs and cats life spans are commonly 12 to 15 years, rarely to 20, being vaccinated with three year duration vaccines every three years for a total of 5 or 7 times in a lifespan, need not to be considered excessive, especially if one considerss the cost of treating the diseases we vaccinate against. Should research ever be done which conclusively shows a longer duration, then the intervals can be adjusted again. Today's interval is three years. It's primarily about disease prevention, not vaccine avoidance.
"Earlier this month, a Connecticut veterinarian had his practice taken away from him after Banfield found out that he had been administering half-dose vaccinations. Dr. John Robb believes that it's not safe to use the same dose for all dogs and cats, particularly for the smaller breeds. "
If these allegations are true, Dr. Robb has violated the standard of care. As an ordinary general practitioner, he has no special expertise or training in immunology, and "beliefs" are no substitute for scientifically verified knowledge. Violating the standard of care and manufacturers recommendations is a risky proposition, with all the risk absorbed by patients and clients. His very public campaign to try and get the veterinary establishment to agree that he knows better than everyone else, is therefore destined to fail.
"AAHA President Dr. Mark Russak believes that Robb is putting pets at risk and creating a potential public health concern with incorrectly administered rabies shots."
Of all the things Dr. Robb has been accused of, this accusation is the most egregious, as Rabies immunization is given to pets to protect the public health, i.e. humans, not the pets themselves. As such, the liability here is huge, and the risk to the public is real. Dr. Russak is absolutely right in his assertion, and the veterinary profession will never stand behind a colleague who would risk Rabies transmission to a human being.
"Jean Dodds, a leading expert in this area, says that dosages can be adjusted safely."
This may be true, but the research must be done first, not afterwards. While Dr. Dodds may be a researcher, as well an effective advocate for her views, she of all people should council patience to the public, until studies are done which verify her theories.
"The fact that there is so much division among veterinarians on this topic just goes to show that more work must be done in this area to develop guidelines we can trust. "
There is not "so much division" but rather there is the vast majority which seeks to meet the standard of care and use manufactured products as they are intended, and then there is a vocal few who advocate or act on their beliefs far ahead of demonstrable scientific proof that their theories are valid. When debates like this break out into the lay press, into blogs and among ordinary pet owners, it confuses people, sometimes angers them and they are left not fully trusting the veterinary profession. While I do not advocate any sort of scientific censorship, those advocating novel theories and treatments should hold those beliefs in doubt, and communicate them as such, until they are beyond any doubt. That is the ethical way to discuss scientific disagreement with a public not versed in the nuance of scientific debate. Indeed, holding the debate in public is a form of advocacy that has no place in science. Science is about getting as close to the truth as you can, acknowledging what is not known and changing as more becomes known. Recent changes in immunization recommendations demonstrate that process beautifully.
The author is absolutely correct when she asserts "more work must be done in this area" however incorrect when she follows with an expression of a lack of trust in current guidelines. Today's guidelines are based on today's science. We can't wait years to start preventing disease, until the perfect, complete guideline is developed. That will never occur, as new knowledge continuously becomes available and guidelines will continuously change. We must act on what we know now, for now.

Would you give an infant the same dosage of medicine as a grown person? I am sure medicical science did not research that (maybe after they were dropping dead....).

O K , so what do we do about the counties that require us to buy a license for our dogs that is contingent upon rabies vaccines every two years ?
Submitted by drarnoldlgoldman | February 28 2013 | Permalink
We obey the law in those counties, and then advocate through your state department of public health, health or agriculture to bring those counties into alignment with state law and manufacturers recommendations. the change won't be quick but over time these things tend to get sorted out. And keep in mind, licensing is about funding, whether for animal control services or just general funds. 2 years between license periods brings in more and more frequent income than three.

I have demanded titres with a confirmation letter of the numbers my dogs were recorded at and the recommended levels from the labs testing the blood for almost a decade now. My vet accepts this and agrees that annual vaccinations aren't necessary. He never fusses with me about this. As far as getting licenses from the county I live in, it isn't anything more than a money making deal from the gov't pick pockets. We shouldn't have to pay others extra to do their jobs making up statistical numbers

My 10 year old pug had her rabies vaccine just 3 weeks ago and had a reaction to it for the first time. (She gets the 3 year.) She was OK after a benadryl shot and then a cortisone shot, but it was scary. I also had a pug that died 9 years ago after her vaccine, from thrombocytopenia. Terrible.
Submitted by Lorelei | March 1 2013 | Permalink
Do consider runing titers before administering more shots. My 7 yr old IG always reacted to innoculations, and the vet never suggested doing this. She, (the dog) developed immune issues that nearly killed her.... 6K later, we run the titers. They're cheaper than the potential alternative!
Submitted by Ana | February 28 2013 | Permalink
Thank you for printing this article. Kudos to Drs. Robb and Dodds for the wisdom, courage and insight to administer half-dose vaccines to smaller breeds. My miniature pincher was vaccinated with a 3-year rabies vaccine prior to leaving Hawaii as required by law. Within minutes, she went into anaphylactic shock and barely survived. More people need to come forward to bring this issue to light. We titrate dosages of medications based on weight in humans, why should we treat animals differently?

My ex husband and I bought litter mate Shih-tzus. He got a male and I a female. Because of his work schedule, I take both dogs to their well dog visits / vaccinations. When they received their first rabies shots everything went fine with my dog ( aside from the initial ear splitting ki-yi's. she is quite the drama queen my Jasmine) but when Nitro was vaccinated he never calmed down. He whimpered and paced anxiously for about 5 minutes. I then noted eye swelling. Being an RN, I was up and out the door with him looking for help. He received 3 shots of Benedryl over an almost 2 hour period before the allergic reaction was brought under control. The next time, we gave him Benedryl 45 minutes before his apointment as directed by our vet. Again he had a horrible reaction that took several hours plus an IV to control. While I don't agree with my ex, i can understand his decision not to vaccinate Nitro further. I assumed that doses were adjusted for size as it only makes sound medical sense. Finding out that they aren't astounds me. I can only wonder if Nitro had been given a dose properly titrated to his size if he would not have had an reaction at all.

Excellent article!
Not only are vaccinations potentially harmful, but the rate at which vets/manufacturers push vaccinations is expensive. To make matters worse states and municipalities are basing their regulations on the manufacturer's guidelines.
I definitely think rabies vaccines are important, but I would rather know that 99% of dogs had only received their first set of vaccines than 70% of dogs are vaccinated yearly. I believe that this black and white view of vaccination is encouraging poorer pet owners to avoid the vaccines all together. Instead we should be trying to make initial vaccinations more affordable and encouraging titering in older vaccinated pets.
Submitted by Terry | January 23 2014 | Permalink
I have to wonder about people saying that the titers are more expensive than the vaccinations. We just had titers done for parvo and distemper for our pup, totalling $132 plus taxes. The vaccination would have been $75 plus tax. That doesn't seem like such a huge difference to me when it won't need to be repeated for another 3 years and my pup won't have to undergo a needless vaccination with its potential adverse reactions.

CEO for Cities holds 13th annual conference in Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids Apps
Caroline MacGregor
September 30, 2013 | WGVU
This year, representatives from more than 75 cities have descended on Grand Rapids for the 13th annual CEOs for Cities conference.
Today, a city's future relies on the engagement of leaders from across sectors with a common agenda. CEOs for Cities is a partnership of 250 people across the country; it's a network of urban leaders and change agents from business, education, economic development, cultural and creative sectors, as well as foundations and government organizations. All with one goal: to build and sustain the next generation of great American cities.
"bubble from there"
That was Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos online shoe and clothing store and author, of the book, Delivering Happiness. Hsieh believes that cities that encourage what he terms "collisions" or encounters with other people are instrumental in the growth of a city.
CEO's for Cities operates on the belief that we live in a world where half the populations resides in urban areas; therefore strong, successful cities are essential to a strong America. With federal and state governments often operating at a dysfunctional level, cities are the best scale at which to organize to tackle critical issues through interaction on a personal level.
The conference runs Tuesday, Oct 1st.

My phone joined me up to Google + this week (it did it with an update, automatically) and then when I signed on to my computer the next time it had two friends waiting for me, so I just clicked on them, because they're friends IRL that I talk to on email regularly. Then afterwards I felt like I'd been suckered. I don't do this social media thing, and I feel like I'm creating false expectations by making this new account. Grr. Although I have to say I like Google + a lot better than FB. I am suspicious of all of it, though, not to the point of not having accounts, but to the point of not wanting to talk about everything I do on them.
I have read a couple of articles lately about how it is actually a warning sign (to potential significant others and to employers and to the world at large) if you DON'T have a FB account. Like you're either about to go on a mass shooting rampage or you've created a false identity to cheat on your wife or you're just weird. Maybe I've already posted this, or perhaps I just sent it to dh.

You might not be familiar with the term 'Z-Movie,' but if you grew up in the 90's, chances are you've seen one. They're the beyond-low-budget monstrosities that teased you from the walls of the mom-and-pop video store. Usually, the films themselves could never live up to the pictures on the videotape boxes (because this was way before your fancy 'Digital Video Discs' and 'Blu-Rays') but occasionally you'd find something truly unique. 'WEIRDO FLICKS' will clue you into some movies which 'unique' doesn't even begin to describe...
'Bloody Wednesday' - 1987, Directed by Mark G. Gilhuis
Here's an interesting mishmash of styles. On one hand, there are several elements 'borrowed' from 'The Shining.' On the other, the atmosphere of the film is as sleazy as any low-rent film noir. There's also a 'Matlock'-esque introductory voiceover, and the nightmarish quality of 80's slashers like 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre.'
'Bloody Wednesday' isn't straight horror, it isn't well-made enough to be a proper drama, and it's too exploitative to be a scare film. There are even a few laugh-out-loud moments. I don't really know what to call it, other than weird.
Basically, a mentally ill (possibly schizophrenic) man goes berserk and shoots up a coffee shop, and that's about it. Don't worry, that's not a spoiler, as it's set up in the very beginning. The interesting part is watching the series of events (some real and some imagined) that lead up to his madness.
Harry is a divorced mechanic who has a couple psychotic episodes and gets fired from his job. His brother tries to help out, but he ends up in the psych ward eventually. When he's finally let out, his brother again 'helps' by setting him up in an abandoned hotel for some reason. Now, to me, this doesn't seem the ideal location for a possibly insane man, but there you go.
He gets attacked by some hoods who use the hotel as a hangout (or maybe this is imagined?) and begins hallucinating. At this point, it is unclear whether events are happening in 'real life' or not. For example, the attack on Harry by the hoods seems based in reality, but one of the hoods later returns to give him a machine gun, which seems hallucinated (but then he DOES use the machine gun, so who knows.)
So, the majority of the movie is spent setting up Harry's mental state when he goes on his inevitable rampage. This means the viewer is left to decide what's real and what's not, which isn't the kind of decision every movie-goer wants to make.
But, if you're the type of person who enjoys the sleep-deprived environments created by Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch (but aren't the type to write off all b-movies) this is your sort of entertainment.
Best of all, it's free on YouTube.

She wants his cock and when he is through and covered in pussy juice she takes his cock and inserts it into her sexy mouth for a hot face fucking! Mao is certainly a naughty Asian MILF!
This guy couldn´t wait to mess around with Mao, and he didn´t even wait for the sexy Asian teen to take her clothes off! She thrusted his dick inside her mouth while he felt up her tits, and then he quickly laid her down to slide his cock deep inside of her. Watch those perky tits bounce when she rides him, and her pretty face splashed with cum, too.

your other LOs becoming more clingy after you got pregnant?
Nolan (who is 2) has become WAY clingy over the past few months. Normally mama is simply a side-step and uninteresting, when basically anyone else is around (especially daddy). Over the past few months though, he is always wanting mama, which is sweet - and exhausting.

I have recently found out I am expecting baby #2 and we are delighted although I am (like all of you would be) secretly scared. I was hoping there may be some other mums out there that are due March (Im an due 8th March) that wanted to keep in touch intermittently throughout the pregnancy.
I was hospitalised at 27 weeks for severe PE, put on Mag Sulphate for 3 days while they gave me steroid injections for the baby and was booked in each day for a c-section (if I didn't worsen to bad over night they would let me go another day)... to their amazement I stabilised all my levels, didn't get better but wasn't getting worse until 30 weeks when I had an emergency c-section as I developed HELLP syndrome.
I have a beautiful baby girl - born 1lb9oz.

Erin, you know, I always think of Elle as an October baby? Because you were one of the first people be kind and dialog with me on this site (and Kate too) so I noticed you from the the get go, and if I remember correctly, you were in an Oct births room. Unless my memory is totally failing me. ;)
Chrissy, I wish Rich had invited you for that too. Hopefully it was just a forgetful moment and not a conscious attempt to shut you out of a big occasion. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was just a lapse on Rich's part. It still must have hurt, though. *hugs*
And Mandy I can imagine how mixed up it must make you feel. Even I have pangs when I see another friend make a pg announcement, and I'm not yet actively TTC and haven't STC'd in the past. It's natural for you to wish something so awesome were happening for you too. And even harder if it's something you've longed for with some frustration. You still have a good heart even if your feelings are mixed. Your human.

Released by the Henderson Police Department:
At approx. 12:20 a.m., on Sunday, February 17, 2013 the Henderson Police Department received a call of multiple shots being fired at the American Legion located at 601 Sand St. in Henderson, Texas. Officers were informed there was at least one person, inside the building, that had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. Several people at the scene were already attending to the victim and EMS was called to the scene. EMS was in the process of transporting the victim to a Longview hospital but diverted to a hospital in Kilgore due to the rapidly declining condition of the victim. The victim succumbed to his injuries while at the Kilgore hospital. An autopsy has been ordered.
Information gathered at the scene indicated the victim and the suspect were attending the same function at the American Legion (601 Sand St.) and as the victim got up from a table to go to another area of the building he was shot several times by the suspect. This same information assisted in the identity of the suspect and where he lived. Officers from the Henderson Police Department and the Rusk County Sheriff's Office were able to locate the suspect and take him into custody in the 300 Blk of Garden Lane in Henderson, Texas. The suspect was transported to the Rusk County Jail and booked in on the charge of Murder.
At this time the Henderson Police Department is not able to officially release the identity of the victim before proper notification of relatives. The suspect has not been before a magistrate but is scheduled to appear before one sometime Tuesday (19th).
The victim is described as a black-male, age 53 of Henderson, Texas. The suspect is also a black-male age 60 of Henderson.
The investigation into this offense is continuing.

It takes a while to brew a bottle of beer....about a month actually. But my first batch of home brew is complete and I popped a top off a bottle the other day. Success! Hey this actually tastes good...actually really good. (see previous post on first time brewing )
My first home brew
Wheat beer is not my first choice on styles of beer but it is what came with my one gallon kit. And found it to be one of the better tasting wheat beers that I have had, of course I'm a little biased. But I did have two other friends try it and they agreed it was good stuff. I will bottle the IPA, which is my favorite type, tomorrow and then I'll start the countdown to that tasting!
