What product would you recommend for my small dog with a collapsed trachea?
"Excess weight is the most common complicating condition in these dogs. Changing to a canned food diet or raw food diet is an excellent way to get the fat off while maintaining lean muscle mass."
The trachea, or windpipe, carries air from the outside to the lungs. In some toy-breed dogs (especially Poodles, Pomeranians, Yorkies, and Chihuahuas), a hereditary structural defect can allow the trachea to collapse during panting or rapid breathing. The collapse may be on either end of the trachea, but is most common right where the trachea enters the chest. The first symptom is typically a honking cough caused by restricted air flow, increased mucus, and inflammation in the trachea. At its most extreme, collapsing trachea makes breathing very difficult, resulting in severe distress and even fainting from lack of oxygen. Left untreated, the problem will only get worse.
Collapsing trachea doesn't usually become a problem until the dog reaches middle age. However, even in dogs with this defect, symptoms may not be seen until another problem comes along, such as obesity, exposure to smoke (i.e., cigarette smoke) or dust, respiratory infections, or heart enlargement. Obviously, dealing with any such issues must be included in any treatment program.
Excess weight is the most common complicating condition in these dogs. Changing to a canned food diet or raw food diet is an excellent way to get the fat off while maintaining lean muscle mass. Only Natural carries a large selection of
natural canned dog foods and
raw foods.
Be very cautious about exercise, since you want to avoid causing the dog to pant, which can set off a coughing episode. While it is important to give your dog adequate exercise in the form of calm walks, you definitely don't want any excitement or strenuous activity. Heat stress, dusty dog parks, and similar environmental factors should also be avoided.
Of course, a dog with any tracheal or coughing problem should never wear a regular dog collar, bandana, chain, or any other restraint around the neck. Use a
head-collar or
harness instead of a standard collar to avoid putting pressure on the trachea.
Managing inflammation is the cornerstone of treatment. In conventional medicine, steroids are a common choice, but long-term use can make the problem worse. Adding
antioxidants and/or
omega-3 fatty acids to the diet is a safe and natural way to reduce inflammation.
Stress, anxiety, and fear are the worst enemies of a dog with a collapsing trachea. They can trigger and exacerbate the problem.
Flower essences and
homeopathy can reduce acute anxiety during an episode; and they (as well as
herbs and other calming products) can help manage the everyday stresses a dog may face in our modern world.
Because many dogs with collapsing trachea develop liver disease over time due to poor oxygenation,
liver support is important. Products such as Super Milk Thistle X and Vetri-Science Gluta-DMG can be very beneficial for these dogs.

Riena supports the new E4 concepts to simplify the implementation of Riena applications in turn. Therefore there is a new branch rienaOnE4 in the Riena Git Repository where all Riena E4 development happens. (learn more about E4)
E4 offers a compatibility layer for existing Eclipse 3.x applications. Riena does not make use of this compatibility layer, but brings native E4 support. Even so, Riena applications built on Eclipse 3.x basis will work with Riena on E4.
The following guide will walk through the necessary steps to setup your environment in minutes.
Set up target platform for Riena apps
The screenshots in this section were made with the Riena 4 setup, but are also valid for Riena 5.
- Download the Eclipse Kepler IDE for your platform and start with a blank workspace. Eclipse Developer Builds
- Download the RienaSetup project and import it into your workspace.
- In the imported project, open the file "Riena_22.214.171.124-4x.target" and set the target Platform
- Open the "Plug-Ins" view and import "org.eclipse.riena.example.client" as source project.
- Select launch configuration "SWT ExampleApplication E4" and add required plug-ins, then Run it.
- Now explore the code and plugin.xml in the example project
Manual target platform setup
- Create a new target platform under Window => Preferences => Target Platform => Add => Nothing: Start with an empty target platform => Next
- Provide a name like Riena 5.0.0
- Click Add => Software Site
- Select the repository: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
- Uncheck "Group by Category" otherwise you can't see all components.
- Select following Components:
- Equinox Target Components

- Activate target platform
Get Riena Source Code
- Clone the Riena Git Repository to any location in your file system
git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/riena/org.eclipse.riena.git
- Import the Git Repository in Eclipse
- Switch to Branch rienaOnE4
- Checkout additional dependencies using the projectset in org.eclipse.riena.releng
If you have problems with the projectset checkout https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=380375
Start Your Engines
- Open the dialog Run Configurations...
- Use the launch configuration SWT ExampleApplication E4 to start the Example Application
- If required, select Add Required Plug-Ins in the Plug-Ins tab
Get Riena Target Platform
If you do not want to checkout the Riena sources or just want to build a Riena based application, follow this steps to load the target platform.
- Open the Target Platform configuration and select the target rienaE4 which you created above
- In addition to the components added above, add the Riena Target components from the Software Site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
- Riena Core Target Components
- Riena Target Components
- Riena Samples Target Components
- Riena Core Target Components and Riena Target Components will appear twice in the list. Though they have the same names, they are different. Make sure, you select only the ones that include "e4" in their identifier (e.g. org.eclipse.riena.build.feature.core.sdk.e4.feature.group). You can check the identifier usind the "Properties..." button below the list and going to "General Information".
- Open the Plug-Ins view, locate the plug-in org.eclipse.riena.example.client and import it as Source Project into your workspace

Jonathan Snook continues his look at the CakePHP framework today with this new post on his blog, specifically looking at data validation methods.
Validation is one of the basic and most tedious tasks in application development. If there was ever a reason to use a framework this would be it. There are two ways that appear to be advocated by the CakePHP site and while both have benefits, I'm using a slightly different approach.
The "two ways" he mentions are auto-validation and using the validates() function (different from the suggestion in the CakePHP wiki of overriding the beforeSave() function). The first is built-in functionality, and is simpler to use. It allows you to define custom profiles for your values, ensuring they match the requirements. Using the validates() function is actually overriding a standard function and can be used to do more custom validation on the values passed back in.

Story posted March 29, 2010
Applications are now available for 2011 Alternative Spring Break trips and leaders. An information session for those interested in proposing trips will be held on Wednesday, April 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the McKeen Center Common Room.
Alternative Spring Break (ASB) trips provide a unique opportunity for students to participate in an intensive public service experience while increasing their understanding of significant social and environmental problems. Engaged in direct service relating to these problems, students live and work in communities with which they otherwise may have little contact. Being completely immersed in this environment over an extended period of time allows students to internalize their experience, which can serve as a springboard for a lifelong commitment to social change.
Alternative Spring Breaks are organized and led by students who want to provide an intensive learning through service experience. ASB leaders are responsible for all aspects of the alternative spring break trip, including recruiting participants, trip logistics, coordinating with the host site, and leading the actual trip.
During the fall semester, ASB leaders participate in the Leaders' Seminar, a 10-week course facilitated by the staff of the McKeen Center. This seminar prepares leaders to organize and lead their trips and to help student participants examine the political, social, cultural, and economic aspects of their service and the communities in which they will be living. Through this seminar, leaders develop their own seminar which they lead for their trip participants in the spring.

A female construction student from Codnor was among a group that went to London fthis week rom Derby College to see for themselves how a building site is managed.
CONSTRUCTION students at Derby College, including Codnor teenager Maisie Raybone, are set to travel to London this month to see for themselves how a building site is managed.
Organised by Pick Everard – a multi-disciplinary architectural and engineering partnership, , the 12 first year professional construction students will visit Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School as well as the Junior School, and Sparrow Farm Infant and Nursery School and its Junior School on 10 June.
Pick Everard has partnered with the college's Professional Construction Career Academy and has set up the visit to show students exactly what to expect on a working construction site – and how to deal with the challenges of building under a flight path.
Paul Knifton, senior architect at Pick Everard, will accompany the students on the visits.
Director at Pick Everard's Derby office, Paul Rothera, said: "We are working with the London Borough of Hounslow to deliver a number of new primary and special school places over the next five years, as there is a significant shortfall in the area.
"Initially we are working with Mansell on the expansion of ten primary schools in the area, including those four that we will visit next month. These four are particularly interesting as they are all under the Heathrow flight path and, as such, we have had to incorporate a series of measures to ensure reduced sound levels within the teaching areas.
"The students will get the opportunity to have a look around a working construction site and gain an understanding of how everything works. The different sites are all at differing stages of completion so they will be able to get a real snapshot of the processes behind expanding a school."
Eighteen-year old, Daniel Bunting, from Chesterfield, is currently being mentored by Paul through the Career Academy and will join him on the visit to Hounslow.
He said: "Paul has shown me the plans for these projects and I am doing a planning exercise as part of my work with him to develop my technical design skills.
"I am looking forward to seeing the actual site and learning more about the process of planning and building these developments."
Pick Everard, which has offices across the East Midlands and throughout the UK, is working with the London Borough of Hounslow for the provision of project management and full design services under the Government Procurement Services Framework to deliver a number of new primary and special school places to meet its statutory obligations over the next five years.
The firm has vast experience in education within the wider London area, having worked on nearly 200 schools within the M25 during the last four years.
Pick Everard is a partner on the Scape framework – which delivers hundreds of education schemes all over the UK.

An alcoholic shoplifter who stole steaks from a supermarket because he hoped to sell them to buy booze was chased down and caught by staff.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard last Friday how Daniel Parkes, 37, of Spring Bank Road, Chesterfield, stole four steaks valued at £33.96 from Lidl.
Prosecuting solicitor Ian Shaw said: "The Lidl security officer became aware because of a signal in the store and saw two members of staff chasing after a male and Parkes was caught, detained and brought back. He was found with four steaks in a bag and he told police he had gone to Lidl intending to steal and would have sold the goods to buy alcohol because he is an alcoholic."
Parkes, who has previous convictions including shoplifting offences, pleaded guilty to the theft which happened on April 5.
Defence solicitor John Wilford said: "Mr Parkes made frank and full admissions and gave a guilty plea. He had just been released on March 26 and had lost his accommodation and was of no fixed abode and he had succumbed to the alcohol problems he had before.
"He is trying to turn his life round and he has found somewhere to live. He recognises he has to do something about the alcohol abuse."
Parkes also pleaded guilty to stealing coffee from a Spar. He was sentenced on Tuesday to eight weeks custody suspended for 12 months with supervision and an alcohol activity requirement. He was also ordered to pay £85 costs, an £80 victim surcharge and £17.50 compensation.

Had rice burger for lunch. It was made with leftover rice and stir-fried tom yam fish from last night's dinner. Rice patties made with cold rice could not hold its shape well, so I used baking paper to secure my burger tower. I have not seen any Mos Burger outlets around, kind of missing it. Teriyaki burger... yumm...

PORTSMOUTH — The Gallery at 100 Market, 100 Market St., will host "Fall into Winter' through Jan. 18. It will feature New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts artists.
There is a photo series, (circa 1969), surreal pop, textile art, prints, traditional and contemporary representational, metal sculpture, a bit of abstract and some paper cut as well, making this the most diverse exhibit to date at the Gallery at 100 Market, a venue known for it's wide-ranging mix.
"The range in medium and mix is impressive, but it's the quality that sets these four floors of art apart," says Michael Simchik, gallery patron and 100 Market owner.
The Gallery at 100 Market, a patron's gallery, was established as a no-fee, no-percent venue, offering downtown Portsmouth space where selected artists may conduct and advance their fine art business.
"The venue's purpose is to support an artist's business by attracting serious buyers and other galleries seeking accomplished artists," says Simchik. "The latter two are achieved by exhibiting the work of the most skilled, passionate and visionary; and that's what we have."
Curator Jeanne McCartin explains that the gallery has always had both an invitational and juried component, insuring a mix of top talents, both established artist and those just finding their footing.
This exhibit has it both, she says. Regular patrons will recognize styles and names, but find new talents, both emerging and established. Jane Adams, a featured artist, started her career here, moved away and only recently returned to the seacoast. Alan Keith is new to 100 Market, but the traditional painter is a longtime established Massachusetts artist, now living in Portsmouth. Printmaker Barbara van Buskirk was established in New Mexico, and also recently moved to the seacoast. At the other end of the spectrum is emerging artist Chloe Larochelle, exhibiting in her first juried show.
100's third floor will feature 26 photos by David Speltz, taken between 1996 through 1971 in the Boston/Roxbury area, "An outstanding, candid and telling view of the era's every day world," says Simchik.
Other "Fall into Winter" artists are: Russell Aharonian, Emma Ashby, Kristin Burchsted, Marina Forbes, Darlou Gams, Gene Galipeau, Kate Higley, Jenny Johnson, Marie-Jehanne MacMahon, Elaine Mendzela, Lennie Mullaney, Lindsay Parker, Wen Redmond, Kevin M. Roddy, and Mark Soderling.
The McLane Law Firm is a supporter of the Gallery at 100 Market, and provides the best in show and honorable mention cash awards.
The Gallery at 100 Market will now offer a one-day a month extended hours on the upper floors. Elevators will work till 7 p.m. at Opening and the first Thursday of the second and third month.
Hours: Floors 1 & 2, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday through Saturday; Floors 3 & 4, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Monday through Friday; and till 7 p.m. the first Thursday of each month.

Bedford told a widened Route 101 delayed
BEDFORD — Local residents waiting for traffic relief along a busy stretch of Route 101 will have to wait another year.
Town Manager Jessie Levine met with managers from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation on Wednesday and was told that the Route 101 widening project will likely go out to bid in the fall of 2016, with construction starting in the fall of 2017.
This past March, Bedford residents were told by DOT representatives that construction was expected to begin in 2016, and the $6.5 million project would be complete by the end of 2017.
"That is a safety issue," said state Rep. John Graham, noting the roadway gets lots of traffic.
The preliminary project includes widening Route 101 from Wallace Road to the intersection with Route 114, essentially adding an extra travel lane in both directions to make a portion of the road a four-lane highway.
During a joint meeting Thursday night among the Bedford Town Council, Bedford School Board and local delegation, the need for the widening project was discussed for nearly an hour.
Graham acknowledged that it will be an aggressive plan to have all of the permitting ready for construction in 2017.
One of the biggest challenges, said town councilor Bill Jean, is the 56 properties along the corridor that will be affected, in addition to a large tree overhanging the road near the Bedford Village Inn.
Despite properties that may need negotiating, Jean said that a small portion of property is necessary for the work. There are several businesses that will be negatively affected, prompting town officials to reach out to the businessess before they are contacted by DOT representatives.
There are also some concerns about wetlands, along with potential drainage treatment issues, said town officials.
"I think the town has been staying on top of what has been happening," said Graham, explaining there will be future opportunities to discuss with the Executive Council about moving the project ahead. An informational forum is planned for early 2014, with a public hearing in the spring of 2014, Levine said.
The majority of funding for the $6.5 million road widening project, or 90 percent, will come from the federal government. The remaining 10 percent will be paid for by the state.
Local and state officials briefly discussed other endeavors on Thursday, including the state's biennial budget, potential surcharges on hybrid and electric vehicles, possible upgrades to the city's wastewater operations and transfer station, school funding and more.
Also announced on Thursday, state Rep. Kelleigh Domaingue Murphy said she and her husband, Keith Murphy, will not be seeking reelection in the N.H. House of Representatives. Domaingue said she intends to focus on her position as town councilor.

I think the media moguls do not want the general public to know the truth about the Second Amendment.
I think the media moguls do not want the general public to know the truth about the Second Amendment.
On March 18, 2008, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in District of Columbia v. Heller. Heller was a security guard who was not allowed a gun for self-defense while off duty. He sued. The decision should have been front-page news. News stations should have shouted the results.
The Supreme Court ruled that "yes," individuals have the right to arms, separate from militia duty. Also that trigger locks and mandatory storage of weapons are unconstitutional. Our right to have a weapon at arm's reach to protect ourselves in our homes is above the government's right to mandate whatever.
It will take one state at a time to change antiquated laws. A person arrested for a gun lock or storage violation goes to court, pleads innocent, quotes District of Columbia v. Heller, and that state will have to obey federal law.
Supreme Court decisions are not usually reviewed for many years (decades). The Heller decision will be with us for a long time. Everyone should read it, because it is now the law of the land.
Do not mention again that the Second Amendment is a militia thing. Your opinion is irrelevant.
Mike McCusher
I am angry that The Record would print a news article describing Christopher Dorner as a former Navy reservist.
How this bears on Dorner's character is not apparent to me. What is apparent is the persistent news media deprecating of all things military.
I am a retired Navy reservist, and I know dozens of others. Not one of us has been implicated in shootings of police officers.
Richard W. Johnson
� NOTE: Dorner was the fugitive ex-Los Angeles police officer who, earlier this month killed four, including two peace officers, before being cornered in a Big Bear cabin. Police say he killed himself as officers closed in and the cabin burned down.
Advances in analytical equipment technology and in measurement techniques allow us to detect and trace elements in "parts per million," "parts per billion," and even "parts per trillion."
The following comparisons help put these numbers in better perspective: We can think of "one part per million" as one inch in 16 miles, one minute in 2 years, one penny in $10,000, one ounce of salt in 31 tons of potato chips, one baby in 57 million abortions, and one bad apple in 2,000 barrels.
We can imagine "one part per billion" as one inch in 16,000 miles, one second in 32 years, one penny in $500 million of Planned Parenthood public funding, one pinch of salt in 100 tons of potato chips, one baby in 100 million abortions, and one bad apple in 2 million barrels.
We can see "one part per trillion" as one postage stamp in an area the size of Dallas, Texas, one inch in 16 million miles, one dollar in a $16 trillion deficit, one second in 320 centuries, one gnat on 360 camels, one baby in one billion abortions, or one bad apple in 2 billion barrels.
These comparisons bring to mind some things my dear old dad used to say: "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile"; "If they privatize our gain, they'll socialize their loss"; "Life is precious, and time is of the essence"; "A hundred pennies saved is a dollar earned"; "Knowledge is salt to our words"; "We'll swallow a camel and gag on a gnat"; and, "One bad president is the proverbial 'bad apple.' "

The Santa Clara Sporting Soccer Club is a high-level competitive soccer club in Santa Clara, California, and affiliated with the Santa Clara Youth Soccer League. Santa Clara Sporting is one of the oldest and most successful competitive youth soccer organizations in the United States. With over 650 players on 35 teams from Under-8 to Under-18, Santa Clara Sporting continues to have a major impact on the local, district, regional and national soccer scenes. Our youth teams compete in the Cal North and NorCal Premier Soccer Leagues, and every year we place student- athletes in the Cal North Olympic Development Program and NorCal Premier PDP Programs from the District Level to the US National Teams. We also have two Amateur Mens Teams that compete in the highest level amateur leagues in the Bay Area.
Established in 1971
Our club was founded in 1971, by a group of Portuguese soccer supporters who wanted to establish a team to compete in the Peninsula Soccer League. In the early 1980's we expanded our program to include a youth soccer program which has quickly become one of the most competitive clubs in Northern California, as well as the United States. Our teams and our club is consistently ranked one of the Top-5 in Northern California, and Ranked in the Top-10 Nationwide by GotSoccer.com.
Our coaching staff has developed some of the finest soccer players that have gone forward to compete at the professional levels in Europe and Mexico.
Santa Clara Sporting has a successful track record developing top student-athletes into college bound soccer players. Without the high-cost of academy programs, Santa Clara Sporting has shared the same success rates recruiting soccer players to college programs.
In 2003, we launched our Santa Clara Sporting Invitational Tournament for elite boys soccer teams to compete in every August. Over the past ten years we had teams travel from China, Canada, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Southern California make the trek to Santa Clara to compete in our event. The Santa Clara Sporting Invitational quickly became the #1 Ranked Tournament in #1 in Northern California by GotSoccer.com. We have been fortunate to consistently draw some of the best State, Regional and National Championship teams to our event every year. Any team that can lift the championship trophy at the end of our 3-day tournament has earned their bragging right to have beaten some of the toughest teams in California and the Western Region.
In 2011, we launched the Santa Clara Sporting Girls Inviational tournament which is hosted on Memorial Weekend every May. This tournament continues to build into one of the premier events for highly competitive girls teams in Northern California.
Some of our most rewarding work happens off the field, like our Goals-for-a-Cure campaign that started in 2008. Our club raised over $195,000 between 2008-2015 and donated the funds to help women fight breast cancer. The funds went to pay for early screening breast exams which are critical to early detection and prevention of this deadly disease. Help us raise more money and awareness every October!
We are proud of our accomplishments on and off the field, but we have many more chapters to "write" in the legacy of our club.

Cyclodestructive Procedures for Glaucoma
A cyclodestructive procedure is a type of surgery used to destroy the ciliary body, the part of the eye that produces fluid (aqueous humour). It may be used to treat severe glaucoma that has not improved after other types of treatment or surgery have been tried. Some people need this treatment done more than once.
Laser cyclophotocoagulation
In laser cyclophotocoagulation, a laser beam is used to destroy the ciliary body. For this procedure, medicine to numb the eye is injected behind the eyeball (retrobulbar anesthesia) before the procedure.
For most, but not all, people who have laser cyclophotocoagulation, the pressure in their eyes decreases to their target pressure.
Complications of laser cyclophotocoagulation may include:
- Cloudiness of eyesight.
- Bleeding from the site.
- Inflammation of the area of the eye (uveitis).
- Pain (may be severe).
- Shrinkage of the eyeball (hypotony) due to the decrease in pressure in the eye. This may lead to clouding of the lens (cataract).
Laser cyclodestructive procedures may cause less pain than other cyclodestructive procedures used to destroy the ciliary body.
In cyclocryotherapy, an extremely cold instrument (probe) is repeatedly applied to the sclera, the white part of the eye. The probe destroys the ciliary body, the part of the eye that produces fluid.
Usually medicine to numb the eye is injected behind the eyeball before the procedure. After the procedure, the pressure in the eye may briefly rise. The person may have moderate to severe pain after this procedure.
Cyclocryotherapy may be used to treat:
- Glaucoma that results from another condition (secondary glaucoma), such as diabetes.
- Open-angle glaucoma for which conventional or laser surgery has not been successful.
- Congenital glaucoma (uncommon).
Complications of cyclocryotherapy may include:
- A sudden increase in eye pressure.
- Bleeding.
- Shrinkage of the eyeball (hypotony) due to the decrease in pressure in the eye. This may lead to clouding of the lens (cataract).
Because it can cause loss of central vision, which is needed to read and see details clearly, cyclocryotherapy is not usually used for people who have relatively good central vision.

As I tried to explain-there is no place that I can find where one can "disable printer color management in the circled "Print Settings" dialogue box and that circled box is the only designated Print Settings box. Am I just misreading this?
I could not tell from the dialog box that you show but I think it's MacOS, correct? If so you cannot use Eric's profiles and workflow as MacOS does not allow this anymore. There was a lengthy thread on this some months ago.AlanEDIT: Here's a link to the OS issues: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=61135.msg498483#msg498483
Hi Kirk,That would be a printer driver setting with regards to something related to output profile settings, not something you can set from within Photoshop.Cheers,Bart
Thanks. IE don't worry about it right?

Skip to comments.The Blood-Lusting Hate Speech of the Anti-Gun Left
Posted on 12/19/2012 9:21:18 AM PST by Perseverando
In the aftermath of the horrific Newtown, Conn., school massacre, Americans from all parts of the political spectrum agree that we need to pay more attention to mental health issues. Public death threats and incitements to violence must be taken seriously. The incendiary witch hunt against law-abiding, peaceful gun owners is neither noble nor effective. Its just plain insane.
Over the past week, Ive witnessed a disturbing outbreak of off-the-rails hatred toward gun owners and Second Amendment groups. Whatever your views on guns, we can all agree: The Newtown gunman was a monster who slaughtered his own mother, five heroic educators and 20 angel-faced schoolchildren. He ignored laws against murder. He bypassed Connecticuts strict gun control regulations, and he circumvented the Sandy Hook Elementary Schools security measures. Every decent American is horrified and heartsick by this outbreak of pure evil.
But tens of millions of law-abiding men and women own and use guns responsibly in this country. The cynical campaign to demonize all armed men and women as monsters must not go unanswered. Whats most disturbing is that the incitements are coming from purportedly respectable, prominent and influential public figures.
Consider the rhetoric of University of Rhode Island Professor Erik Loomis. He teaches U.S. environmental history, the Civil War, late 19th and early 20th century America, labor history, and the American West in the universitys history department. Online, however, Loomis is a militantly unhinged foe of all things conservative.
This week, the nutty professor took to Twitter to rail against law-abiding gun owners and the National Rifle Association. Looks like the National Rifle Association has murdered some more children, Loomis fumed. Now I want Wayne LaPierres head on a stick, he added. (LaPierre is executive vice president and CEO of the NRA.) Loomis was just warming up.
(Excerpt) Read more at frontpagemag.com ...
Proving once again that Liberalism is a form of mental illness.
All of this was preceded by the New Black Panthers talking about killing the white babies, and Jamie Foxx on SNL talking about how cool it is to kill white people in his latest movie, and nary a peep from the oh-so-tolerant Left.
Now that the expressed desires/fantasies of the New Black Panthers and Jamie Foxx have been realized, everyone is running around, wringing their hands, and calling for violence against law-abiding citizens who happen to support their rights under the 2nd Amendment.
Its often been observed that perception is more important than reality. The observation is often correct. It is never MORE CORRECT than for those weve come to call liberals. I prefer statist but liberal has morphed from its classic meaning to the other end of the spectrum so Ill stay with it.
Since these folks operate almost entirely on EMOTION and FEELING, REALITY seldom allows FACTS to intrude upon the delusional worldview they have constructed and the comfort that provides them. It is that illogical, irrational and delusional mindset that prompts many of them to continue to quest after a Utopian society. The thought that such a society can and will never be achieved in a fallen world populated with failed sinners never penetrates whatever remains of their cognitive consciousness. Its a DANGEROUS WORLD and, as the liberals continue to define deviancy down, it becomes more dangerous daily.
There is another, far more sinister, level of the liberal call for gun control.
It was Mencken who offered that The urge to save humanity is most often a false front for the URGE TO RULE. He clearly had been a student of the liberal politicians of his day. Were he alive today and able to observe the likes of Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Obama and the rest, hed almost certainly have used far stronger language to frame his sage observation.
To conclude, dozens of studies reveal the FACTS concerning gun control. Those FACTS are that where firearms are widely and READILY available to law-abiding citizens, CRIME GOES DOWN! The liberals who willfully ignore the FACTUAL EVIDENCE and continue to call for gun control (i.e. the DISARMING of DECENT CITIZENS, thereby denying them the ability to exercise their God-given right to self-defense) are those about whom Mencken wrote: Their goal is NOT about preserving life. It is about the hell-bent pursuit of the impossible to achieve Utopian world where all are equal but some (thatd be THEM) are MORE equal than others (thatd be US).
There are many PRO-RTKABA videos on You Tube that your often busy lives dont allow you to find on your own. Search there for Gun Control, watch them and, more importantly SHARE THEM with the folks in your orbit.
Were in a fight. And losing will ultimately cost us much more than our right to our guns.
The sheer hatefulness on display at most leftist websites is very enlightening about who these people are.
I've always been disturbed by people who claim that "perception is reality", or "perception is more important that reality"). How anyone can make that statement with a straight face is beyond me. Reality is the most important piece of any issue, topic or discussion.
To a liberal, it's a way of life (or, in this case, DEATH).
BE CAREFUL! Back in 1968, the murder of Bobby Kennedy was an anti-gunners wet dream come true.
Bobby Kennedy was killed with a small American made .22 revolver, an Iver Johnson Cadet.
John Kennedy was killed in 1963 with a 5 shot bolt action military surplus rifle. Italian Carcano.
When the 1968 gun control act passed,(due to the passing out of huge amounts of cash to the states for crime control), it banned what the antis have been dreaming of for years.
A ban on 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles.
A ban on small foreign pistols and revolvers.
A ban on military equipment. A gun shop in Tulsa was raided because they imported flintlock flints.
All of this did not ban the pistol used to kill Bobby, and it did nothing to ban foreign police surplus rifles which were the same as military rifles, just not issued to the army.
Congressmen from CT, Mass and NY had wanted a ban on military surplus to protect their local industries like COLT, S&W, Savage and Winchester.
Why should an American buy a $12.00 army rifle to hunt with when they should be buying a high dollar American made hunting rifle!
And why should they be buying a military Army surplus Enfield or Webley pistol when they should be buying a high dollar US made handgun?
The devil is in the details so be real careful with this as the antis today are far worse than the antis of the 1960s.
Forcing our representatives to pass the legislation without reading the legislation - Health Care.
Using slimy lawyer ambulance chasing techniques to shame our representatives - Gun Control
Did I mention that the 1968 Gun Control Law was based on the 1938 Nazi Weapons Act of Nazi Germany.
Thomas J Dodd had a copy of it to copy from.
Yes, to a liberal, emotion trumps reality. That says everything you need to know about their mindset, their worldview. Facts are stubborn things, but they cannot trump the egregious level of cognitive dissonance on the left.
Reality is reality regardless of one's perception (words mean things). Perceptions are clouded by biases and that should be enough to relieve the oh-so tolerant left of their shibboleths. When reality doesn't match agenda, then well, reality must be in your imagination...
Shi! like this convinced to clean and reload all my guns with fresh ammo. Getting a high on the smell of gun oil. Wheeeeeee!
The rhetoric of some of these anti-gun people is truly off the rails.

The NFC Champion Giants have five players on its roster whose collegiate team played in the Discover Orange Bowl during their career, while the AFC Champion Patriots have nine. All 14 Orange Bowl veterans played in Orange Bowls ranging from the 1998 National Championship between Nebraska and Tennessee to the 2010 Classic between Iowa and Georgia Tech.
New York's Orange Bowl veterans include: Deon Grant (Tennessee, 1998), Antrel Rolle (Miami, 2004), Tyler Sash (Iowa, 2010) and Justin Trattou (Florida, 2009). Terrell Thomas (Southern California, 2005) is on injured reserve.

This year's Super Bowl is a rematch of Super Bowl XLII, which the Giants won 17-14. That game featured 10 Orange Bowl veterans, five on each team. The only two Orange Bowl veterans to play in both Super Bowls between the Patriots and Giants are Tom Brady and Vince Wilfork.
Orange Bowl veterans have earned Super Bowl Most Valuable Player honors 10 times, the most recent being Indianapolis' Peyton Manning (Tennessee, 1998), MVP of Super Bowl XLI. Tom Brady was named MVP of Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII. Brady held the Orange Bowl record for most passing yards in a game with 369 yards until West Virginia's Geno Smith threw for 407 yards in the 2012 Discover Orange Bowl.

Sleep Challenge 2010: Perchance to Dream
We're two weeks in to the Sleep Challenge, with two more weeks to go. And I really feel like I've hit my snoozing stride. I've met my sleep goal of eight hours a night for five of the last seven nights.
One result of my getting more--and better--sleep has been an increase in the intensity of my dreams. I'm not sure if my dreams are actually more intense, vivid and interesting--or if they only seem that way because I'm not waking up longing to sleep more.
Whatever the reason, I suddenly find myself in possession of a rich and compelling dream life. But here's the catch: For the last week or so, I've woken up with my mind buzzing, excited by the dream I'd just had. But I haven't had the time to write my dreams down. Getting a full eight hours has pushed my schedule to the limit, so when I get up I need to move pretty quickly to the first thing on my schedule.
At the moment, I just don't have the extra 15 minutes I need to write my dreams down, let alone reflect on them. Does this mean I need to sleep 20 minutes less--or go to sleep 20 minutes earlier? (At this rate, I'll be going to bed right after the sun goes down!)
This reconnecting with my dreams has been like reuniting with an old flame.
I've always been fascinated by dreams. My recent run of intense dreaming brought to mind a trip I took in the mid '80s to Luxor in Egypt and a tour of the Luxor Temple with its "sleep chambers." These chambers are where the high priests and priestesses would retire after they had prepared, through prayer and meditation, to receive in their sleep divine guidance and inspiration. In stark contrast to our modern habit of drugging ourselves senseless, hoping to "crash" for a few hours before having to face another frantic day, the ancient Egyptians went to sleep expectantly. This spiritual preparation for sleep allowed them to bring back remnants of their dreams and notes from their night's travels.
Even before my trip to Egypt, I had long been fascinated by the work of Carl Jung, with its emphasis on dreams and archetypes. His autobiographical Memories, Dreams, Reflections was one of my all-time favorite books. It helped me explore the possibility that the world of dreams, far from shutting us off from what we consider "the real world," actually opens us up to another reality--a timeless place that allows us to listen to our soul.
Following that trip to Egypt, and for many years after, I used to write down my dreams in a journal. I filled notebook after notebook after notebook. But then life--especially motherhood--intervened. And between nursing a newborn, comforting a crying baby or holding a feverish toddler--to say nothing of trying to continue to write--time evaporated into the night, and sleep became more of a survival tactic, and less of a way to connect to the sacred and the divine.
Night and sleep soon became all about the transitions. Head hitting the pillow only when the schedule allowed. Waking up already late, already on the run. Life became a cycle of crash and rush, crash and rush. It was a cycle I eventually became used to. It seemed normal.
Then came my re-awakening. Or should I say my re-asleepening--and I'm once more making sleep a priority, and giving myself permission to remember my dreams. As I say, I still need to make time to write them down--because that's something you must do right away. As Llewellyn Vaughn-Lee put it on HuffPost: "How many dreams are lost between the bedroom and the bathroom?"
And a funny thing happened on the way to remembering my dreams: I've found another way of connecting with my younger daughter. Yesterday, while I was telling her about my newly vivid dreams and renewed interest in writing them down, she began telling me about her dreams as well.
I won't, of course, go into the details of her dreams (I wouldn't want her censoring what her dreams are telling her), but I don't think she'd mind if I say that in one of her recurring dreams, she imagines herself as a living "Stop" sign, forcing people to come to a complete stop before moving on with their lives.
Which, now that I think of it, is a pretty good metaphor for what a good night's sleep allows us to do. Sweet dreams, everyone.

Summer Jobs +: Mayor Launches Summer Jobs + 2014 Initiative for SF Youth
Today Mayor Edwin M. Lee and the United Way of the Bay Area along with City Departments and private sector employers announced the launch of Summer Jobs+ 2014, challenging employers to create 7,000 jobs, internships and paid job training for San Francisco youth (ages 14-24) this summer and throughout the school year. Now in its third year, Mayor Lee's Summer Jobs+ initiative will connect San Francisco employers with low-income and disconnected San Francisco youth so that they can share in the City's economic success and get the practical job experience and skills they will need to succeed in today's economy.
We are investing in the future success of San Francisco's youth," said Mayor Lee. "Last year, we worked together and exceeded our own aggressive goal and placed more than 6,800 young adults in jobs and paid internships. This year, we are setting an even more ambitious goal. We need to continue investing in programs that strengthen our youth workforce, especially for our low-income and disadvantaged youth. Once again, I am again calling upon employers, large and small, across San Francisco to join us in supporting the future of our young people by creating 7,000 meaningful employment opportunities for our youth this summer and beyond."

NeedtoBreathe seems to be in constant motion. Band members conclude the Drive All Night Tour in their hometown of Charleston on Saturday while also preparing a new album for a fall release.
Tentatively titled "La Differencia," the name alludes to its previous music efforts. The band's 2009 "The Outsiders" was highly polished and exhibited a more country sound with the banjo prominent, while the 2011 "The Reckoning" was edgier with a more straight-ahead guitar rock feel.
Co-songwriter, lead guitar and backing vocalist Bo Rinehart cited changing influences and a different attitude toward both the writing and recording process.
While lead singer and guitarist (and brother) Bear Rinehart cited Tom Petty as an inspiration for "The Reckoning," the band's influences keep changing.
"We've each been spreading our ears as far as we can and in different directions but then we find common ground," Bo Rinehart said.
NeedtoBreathe experienced its first change in the core, nontouring lineup of the band with drummer Joe Stillwell's decision to leave the group last year. Rinehart described the feeling as different yet the same as the personalities have changed but they are still doing what they have always done.
"We miss our buddy, but we have a fresh feeling and as much excitement as we ever have," he said.
The Rinehart's have altered the writing and recording process for the upcoming album.
For the former, Bear and Bo have been writing separately further into the process. As the brothers remain very competitive, Bo said he is judging his works more thoroughly and harshly than when tunes were brought to the whole band earlier in the development of songs.
"We have a lot of material to work with, and there are a limited number of slots," he said.
The band is stripping down the recording process using 2-inch tape rather than digital and restricting the number of tracks used, which they are calling "forced limitation."
"While we want something very transparent and with a fresh new angle, we will overdo things but at some point we have to stop," Bo said, comparing it to the moment when a painter puts down the brush on a finished piece of art.
The band is in the middle of making the new album with a few songs completed, six ready to be mixed and 12 ready to be tracked. Rinehart describes the recording sessions as more open, with a certain magic playing together as a unit.
"It feels amazing and a more live setting than separate tracking," he said.
While he has no idea right now, as with the previous two albums, Rinehart said to expect the unexpected with the first song on the new album. "We have a tendency to want some shock and awe to open things up."
The current Drive All Night Tour marks the first time the band has concluded in Charleston. This was not coincidental, but planned.
"This has been on the calendar for a long time," Bo Rinehart said, adding, "We've always wanted to end a tour in our hometown. It's a proper celebration of the tour. We might be a little tired, but this amps us up."
With four full albums under its belt and new songs in the works, the band realizes the time constraints of a show and the sensitivity of the fans to hear their favorite songs.
On a rare and recent day off, the band attended a concert by The Black Crowes in Dallas. "They did a great job of mixing recent and old material and their hits. I would hate to go (to a concert) and a favorite song didn't get played," Bo Reinhart said.
Changing the perspective from fan to performer, Rinehart expressed the feeling that the band has an obligation to and respect for the fans.
"They don't owe us anything! We have a job and career only because of them," he said.
The band takes giving back to the fans and community very seriously.
The annual NeedtoBreathe Classic golf tournament recently was held in conjunction with the Commonwealth Cares Foundation benefiting the Palmetto Medical Initiative.
"We do a lot of things for ourselves and for selfish reasons. Giving back is simply and honestly the right thing to do, and we're fortunate that so many people have rallied around the cause. PMI changes lives for the better," Rinehart said. "We have to appreciate what we have and be grounded. We recognize our blessings and how this brings an opportunity to help others," he added.
With all tips donated directly to PMI, NeedtoBreathe's recent digital EP is available at www.noisetrade.com/NeedtoBreathe. Live versions of old songs are included as is a demo of the new song "Happy If You Could."
With the band's increasing popularity, "The Outsiders" reached No. 20 on the Billboard 200 album chart while "The Reckoning" penetrated the Top 10, peaking at No. 6, the band does feel more pressure. "It's a constant struggle, and the situation can be surreal at times where we ask ourselves, 'Why are we here and how did we get here,' " Rinehart said.
He knows the band can't put the brakes on the stress that success brings, but he said he feels the fans trust the band. "If the fans don't like it, its not good and if we don't like it, we won't do it," he said.
Rinehart said that most pressure and stress actually come from trying to get the band members to agree on songs and ideas.
"I can love something the band doesn't like and we won't use. Most importantly, we live and die by our own hearts, emotions and the things we love," he said.
Rinehart confidently stated he is writing his best material ever by a long shot.
He had described "Something Beautiful" from "The Outsiders" album as the best song the band had recorded to date. But he knew "White Fences" from "The Reckoning" was special even before he had written the bridge section.
For "La Differencia," Rinehart said the band "is just getting going," but added that "Wasteland" and "More Heart Less Attacks" should be on their fans' radars.

TRACY - A man from the Bay Area died Friday morning after his car collided with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 205 in Tracy, the California Highway Patrol said.
TRACY - A man from the Bay Area died Friday morning after his car collided with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 205 in Tracy, the California Highway Patrol said.
Robert Barnett, 59, of Dublin was traveling east on the freeway just east of Mountain House Parkway about 7:20 a.m. when his 2000 Jaguar made a hard right turn for unknown reasons, CHP said. Barnett's car crossed three lanes of traffic and hit a tractor-trailer driven by Jorge Ibarra, 49, of Riverside.
The Jaguar then continued underneath the trailer, causing fatal injuries to Barnett, before coming to rest in a field near the south shoulder, authorities said. Barnett was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP said. Ibarra was not injured.
The cause of death is pending results of toxicology tests, but drugs nor alcohol were believed to be a factor, and no one was arrested, CHP said.
STOCKTON - Police arrested two people Friday after a woman lured an elderly man to a hotel room, where another man robbed him at gunpoint, authorities said.
The 67-year-old victim accompanied the woman to the hotel in the 1600 block of South Turnpike Road about 11:20 a.m. to purchase guns, police said. When the victim entered the room, he was confronted by a man who demanded his belongings while holding a gun to his head, authorities said.
The thieves stole the victim's jewelry, cash and credit cards, officers said. The victim called police, who said they found the robbers and placed them under arrest.
Leslie Little, 24, and Henry Bennett, 40, were arrested on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime, authorities said.

Mariners recall Noesi
Seattle, WA – The Seattle Mariners have recalled pitcher Hector Noesi from Triple-A Tacoma and optioned pitcher Bobby LaFromboise to the minor league club.
Noesi started the year with Double-A Jackson and was 1-0 with an ERA of 0.00 in two starts before heading to Triple-A on Monday. He did not pitch for the Rainiers.
The 26-year-old right-hander was 2-12 with a 5.82 ERA in 22 games, including 18 starts, for the Mariners last year. He was acquired from the Yankees, along with catcher Jesus Montero, in the deal that sent pitcher Michael Pineda to New York.
LaFromboise allowed two runs in 2 1/3 innings over three appearances for the Mariners this season.

Heri Dono's figurative paintings give a complicated picture of Indonesian society and politics that is intertwined with larger international issues and concerns. Having grown up in a tumultuous period of Indonesian history, Dono often confronts violence and social turmoil in his work, as well as Western culture as it is viewed in his country. After leaving art school, the artist began studying shadow puppetry, incorporating puppets in his installations and drawings to probe darker elements of human experience. Dono, who has participated in multiple editions of the Venice Biennale, has said: "Art is not just about exploring the beauty or the aesthetic but to give awareness to the audience. Artists have a moral responsibility to add to the conversation, to make people aware of injustices."

No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger Martinsville Preview
October 26, 2011
Brad Keselowski
No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger
Tums Fast Relief 500
Martinsville Speedway
October 30, 2011
TV: ESPN at 1:30 PM ET Radio: MRN/Sirius Channel 90 at 12:00 PM ET
No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger News and Notes
• This Week's Charger… The No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger team will race chassis PRS-803 during Sunday's Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. This is a new chassis to the No. 2 fleet.
• No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge in 2011... After 32 points-paying events, Keselowski and the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger team are ranked third in the 2011 Chase for the Championship standings. Keselowski is just 18 points behind leader Carl Edwards following a fourth-place finish in the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway last Sunday afternoon.
• Top-Five Leader… With four top-five finishes, Keselowski is tied for the most top-five results in the six races run in the 2011 Chase for the Championship.
• Nothing "Average" About 6.5… Over the last 13 races, Keselowski has scored a series-best average finishing position of 6.5. During that stretch he has produced two wins, eight top-five finishes and he has led the field for a total of 142 laps.
• Cheers To Chasing Greatness… The featured tag line on the rear bumper of the "Blue Deuce" this weekend in Martinsville will be "Cheers To Chasing Greatness." Keselowski sits just 18 points out of the lead in the Chase for the Championship, which would be a "great" accomplishment in his first with driving the iconic car.
• Deuces Wild… When Brad wins a race during the 2011 Chase for the Championship, two lucky fans will win their own "man cave," compliments of Miller Lite. The man cave gear includes a "kegerator," a dart board, Miller Lite neon sign, a basketball game and pub furniture. Visit MillerLite.com/Brad to enter.
• The Rest is History... Martinsville Speedway is a track where Penske Racing has enjoyed its share of success over the years. In 86 starts, the organization has picked up six wins (all by Rusty Wallace), five poles, 19 top-five and 33 top-10 finishes at Martinsville. Wallace made Martinsville his personal playground in the Miller Lite car as he did not finish outside of the top-three in eight consecutive races from September of 1992 through April of 1996.
Brad Keselowski on his position in the Chase with four races remaining
"That was exactly how we needed to leave Talladega, with a strong finish. We gained points on the leader and gained points on really all the Chase cars. I'm very proud of the effort that everyone on this Miller Lite Dodge team has put forth thus far. We're still in contention and we have a damn good shot at winning this championship. This weekend's race at Martinsville is one that I've been looking forward to for a while. There is no part or piece of equipment that can substitute for just getting a bunch of laps under your belt there. I've learned a lot in my three races, and I know Paul (Wolfe) has as well. This is a race where I think we can really pick up some points on Carl (Edwards) and Matt (Kenseth)."
Brad Keselowski on racing at Martinsville Speedway
"Martinsville will always be a track that is hard on brakes. Yes, the braking systems have come a long way over the last 10 years or so. But if you give us more brakes or better brakes, we are going to use more brakes to the point that we will damage the sidewall of the tire. Overheating the brakes is something that is easy to do because you are going so hard every lap as passing is difficult at Martinsville. Managing your brakes is part of being a successful short-track racer."
Crew chief Paul Wolfe on racing at Talladega Superspeedway
"Everyone on this team feels really good about going to Martinsville this weekend, especially since we were able to take part in the Goodyear tire test there last month. The good thing about Martinsville is that you don't have to worry about aerodynamics. It's the shortest track we visit and it's all about mechanical grip. In the short time Brad has been at Martinsville, he has shown a great ability to get around the place. Hopefully we can get qualifying in – which is never a guarantee during this weekend – so that we can get a good starting spot. Then, if we can maintain forward bite off the corners, I believe we can gain more points on the Chase leaders to really make this thing interesting heading into the final three weeks."

Hello, first I would like to say I LOVE this emulator. It's great playing all these old classic adventure games and some old hasbro games from when I was a kid. Larry games work fine, Hasbro and trying out the Monkey/Kings Quests series.
Only problem is an exception (DSI) error occurs if I stay at the menu to long? I have version 1.3.1 from the downloads page.
The ScummVM folder went inside the APP folder and my games are under a folder in the root of my SD card. I have played games so I am not sure what the problem is.
EDIT: Ran it again, Error did not show up. It's the same DSI Error that happens to everyone. Turned on Larry 6, working like a charm.
Try using the daily build, I play ScummVM many times without any kind of error.
Seems to happen a lot when using a USB, using an SD card seems to have no problems. The USB can be pretty slow too when adding games but it can do the DSI exception error which means you have to turn off the Wii and it'll corrupt your USB meaning you'll have to format it again.
So yeah, stick to using SD cards and use the daily build.

Tuesday's Here
MAD DASH TO BLACKSBURG: As America got really familiar with a college campus in Southwest Virginia really quick, coverage of the largest shooting massacre in American history overtook local airwaves as well.
All local TV stations, that we saw, dipped in and out of coverage of the mass murder at Virginia Tech on Monday afternoon, provided by their various networks.
On the radio side, we didn't have much chance to check, but did hear WTAM/1100 "Sportsline" host Kevin Keane on his program later in the day - putting aside the balls, bats and nets for one night on the Clear Channel talker.
But then, we noted that at least two local TV news types were dispatched to Blacksburg, Virginia - presumably at the point where someone in their newsroom looked at a map and said, "hey, there's only one state between Ohio and that part of Virginia!"
Making the trip for NBC affiliate WKYC/3 was evening co-anchor Tim White, and heard by phone from the area on ABC affiliate WEWS/5 Monday night was new Akron Bureau chief Pete Kenworthy. (No, we don't know if Pete was sent because Akron is closer to Virginia than Cleveland.)
If FOX O&O WJW/8 and CBS affiliate WOIO/19 sent anyone, we missed it...
EXTRA CHANNELS: OMW commenters and E-Mailers provide the "rest of the story" to our note that Universal HD has now shown up in the HDTV lineup of Time Warner Cable's Cleveland-based systems - formerly owned by Adelphia and Comcast.
There's now a reverse HD migration - of a network that's been available in the former Adelphia TWC territory since before the sale being offered to "original" TWC systems.
We're told that ESPN2HD has now made it to the "legacy" Akron/Canton TWC lineup on channel 560.
TWC just announced a company-wide deal with Disney involving the ESPN networks, and the folks formerly in Adelphia land already had it in a grandfathered deal with that company.
We still haven't seen ESPNU return to the TWC Cleveland digital lineup as of yet. The network did, for whatever reason, NOT have that grandfathered agreement in the old Adelphia deal.
And we're told Universal HD is now also on the TWC Akron/Canton system at channel 556, though we don't know if that's new or not. We recall TWC has added the network for special events (like the Masters, which completed recently), but maybe it's there to stay now...
PUSHING OUT THE FRINGES: OMW hears from Bill Weisinger, otherwise known as "Uncle Bill" from WSTB/88.9's "Sunday Oldies Jukebox", on some technical fixes to the Akron market station broadcasting from a tower formerly used by Kent State University's WKSU/89.7 on the Kent State campus.
Bill tells us that some "long overdue improvements" have been made to the transmitting facility, which he says should improve fringe reception for WSTB. The changes are even more important since the Streetsboro City Schools-owned station had to drop online broadcasts recently, due to changes in music royalties and reporting for online outlets.
Of course, this will also expand listenership for WSTB's primary alternative rock "AlterNation" format, which is operated by Streetsboro High School students Monday through Saturday...
AND ONE EDITORIAL NOTE: Folks, please note - we are not connected with any TV or radio stations or other media organizations in Ohio (or anywhere else).
For whatever reason, many people seem to think we're somehow involved with "Ken and Kitty", the now-former country radio morning show recently dumped from WYGY/97.3 "The Wolf" in Cincinnati, which may or may not be owned by: Bonneville, Cumulus, Susquehanna, Entercom, John Doe Broadcasting or the Cincinnati Reds.
(Well, we've lost track, haven't you? It's owned by one of those companies, but if we put it here, it'll probably get sold again tomorrow.)
Just this week, a reader E-Mailed us asking us if we could improve our signal. OMW Radio, anyone? We have a lot of radios here in the OMW World Headquarters, but we're pretty sure there's no transmitter in the building.
We asked what frequency the reader thought we were on, and our reader apparently was looking for Kenston High School-owned adult standards outlet WKHR/91.5 Bainbridge. And yes, it's a tough catch from our reader's location on the far west side of Cuyahoga County.
We're thinking of putting up a page with local broadcast information, including contact numbers, websites and E-Mails. If this doesn't take over our lives, we'll think about doing it.
But please, readers...use Google first, or some other source. We have no transmitter and can't bring back your favorite morning duo...

Do you have Johnny Mann Jingles on your radio station there, OA?
I bet I know why I can't get it--you use 9kHz separation, and all my radios are 10kHz.
Hey OMW,
I heard you were looking for a PM Driver?
My package is on the way! LOL
I'm not 100%, but I swore I heard a NewsChannel 5 type say something about Lee Jordan heading to Blacksburg today. My guess is if that's true, Mr. Kenworthy will return to his bureau.
re: WYGY and Bonneville/Cinci
Word is...thru my grapevine..is that Bonneville is being courted by Cumulus to purchase the newly acquired Bonneville stations.
Stay tuned to this blog for more.
Nice little article on WSTB in BE's Radio mag. this month.
And yes, Lee Jordan is in Blacksburg as well for 3001 Euclid.
- Ohio Media Watch said...
Yes, we hear that Lee Jordan will be on the 6 PM "NewsChannel 5" with Mr. Kenworthy.
And is it Bonneville which owns 97.3 in Cincinnati now? We have shut that out of our heads for fear of burning brain cells...
-The Management
anyone remember when WKHR in Bainbridge had 3 formats? Big Band Alternative and Blues. Wow was that a train wreck radio station. Glad to see that the station is all one format now.
Dang, I was hoping for a return by the old CKLW.
- 74WIXYgrad said...
I can't get anything in Rittman, at least according to Mrs74WIXYgrad who tells me quite often that I don't get it. But I will be checking to see if I can get SOJ in my home this Sunday. Maybe I'll get up early enough for that Morgan dude.
- Johnny Morgan said...
That Morgan dude, though I think he should have been fired years ago, is on from 3am to 7am, so you don't have to get up TOO TOO early.
When are they gonna take Morgan's Boss Jock ass off the air?
- Ohio Media Watch said...
A comment has been removed, and this item will be closed for comments re: our now standard policy, where we keep items open for comments for roughly a day or so regardless of content.
A word of advice to our questioner, who asked about previous comments being deleted - "don't make it personal".
e.g. "This person is (personal attack phrase)"
How about "we think staffers are leaving because of difficulties with (this person)/the atmosphere/management style/color of the paint on the wall"?
Anyway, the topic is not "on topic" in this particular item as well.
As we've said roughly 300 times since we started having to deal with the comments here, the OMW comments are NOT A MESSAGE BOARD.
They also are not a "bastion of free speech". Your management here reserves the right to delete comments even just because we're not thrilled with having to worry about them. We can delete stuff if we don't like someone's typing style, or because the sky isn't blue.
And if we have to keep dealing with this, we reserve the right to finally go through with our long-term threats to close the comments entirely.
