By Mike Garrison
Six years ago, I promoted and hosted my first ever formal R/C racing event known as the Offroad JAM. The JAM is a 1/10-scale indoor race that calls Fastlane Raceway in Blue Springs, Missouri it's home. Held every January, the event that started with a little over 100 entries has grown to see 370+ entries in recent years. Fastlane Raceway offers an outdoor 1/8-scale off-road track in addition to the indoor 1/10-scale track. With no major races scheduled for last summer, my wife and I organized the Offroad JAM's larger scale counterpart; the Summer 1/8-scale Off-Road RIOT. The first year was a success, however, this past weekend was an even bigger success as the 2nd Annual Summer Off-Road RIOT provided even closer racing, exciting twists and turns, racer raffle, unique track layout, and even more racers gathering from around the Midwest.
This year's track layout was created and built by Tony Burton, who traveled down from Iowa to do the dirt work. A week of heavy rain led up to the event, but with hard work and hot weather, the Fastlane Raceway crew had the track ready for practice with little delay to the originally scheduled start time on Friday.
Friday saw many racers and families coming in to camp and stay overnight, but with our race program running three hours of practice Saturday (to allow for those who couldn't take off work Friday) the entries doubled with hours before the start of qualifying.
The 2017 Summer Off-Road RIOT was sponsored by BOOMrc Graphics, JConcepts, Pro-Line Racing, Tekno RC, Triton RC, RCRenew.com, Reedy Powered, and VRP. The event sponsors all provided an overwhelming amount of support and products which left a smile on everyone's face during the racer raffle.
On the track, this year's event saw arguably some of the most exciting, adrenaline pumping, and mind-blowing racing action we've seen in a long time.
1/8-scale Electric Truggy
The E-Truggy class saw an increased number of entries this year, which was a pleasant surprise as this is not typically a class supported by many of the racers on a local basis. Tekno RC's Lou Colmo would dominate the class by taking TQ in all three rounds of qualifying. Colmo carried on to take an easy win in A1 and A2 for the overall, and would make an appearance in A3 – but as a volunteer turn marshall as opposed to a racer. Matt McAdams would win A3 to take 2nd overall with Kevin Moyer finishing third.

4wd Open SCT
There is no question that 4wd short course truck racing is no easy task outside on a track designed for 1/8-scale buggies and trucks. The racers all tackled the track banging bumpers for the overall win. Roc Lee set the pace in qualifying, and taking the overall TQ spot. A1 started off in Roc's favor with a win, but A2 didn't go quite as planned. Instead it was David Johnson who would capture the A2 win. All the marbles came down to A3, and Roc Lee was back on his game. Roc would take a start to finish win, leading every lap, to take the overall win. David Johnson ended up second place for the weekend, and Adam Wietrick third.

1/8-scale Sportsman Electric Buggy
Sportsman E-Buggy was a one man show as Lucas Fischer didn't hesitate to sweep all three rounds of qualifying, and both A1 and A2 for the overall win. Tanner Slover would finish up second overall with a win in A3, and Anthony Dallen would finish out the podium in third.

1/8-scale Sportsman Nitro Buggy
The Sportsman Nitro Buggy class was perhaps the most exciting class of the weekend. Adam Wietrick would take TQ, and start off the main by building a significant lead early on. Disaster struck as Adam flamed out in the early stages of the race, putting him a lap down. As the race was on for the lead, Wietrick began to sneak his way back up into the running. With less than two minutes left to go, Wietrick stunned the competition by regaining the lost time from the flameout and making the pass back into the lead! Adam crossed the line .5 seconds ahead of Anthony Dallen for the win, with mid-race leader Trent Plumberg finishing out the podium in third.

1/8-scale Nitro Truggy
Nitro Truggy is another class that local racing turnouts have all but gone extinct, however, some of the top racers in attendance dusted off their trucks to join in the action. It was SOAR Seiki's Chris Marrant who would take the TQ spot after qualifying, and despite a bit of a bumpy start, he would come back to take the A-Main win. Tekno RC regional team manager, Eric Fletcher, put together a solid performance to finish second on the day, with young Kyosho driver Charley Evans finishing up third.

1/8-scale Expert Electric Buggy
The Expert E-Buggy class saw a list of very talented drivers, including that of 2007 ROAR National Champion Taylor James. James, now an engineer at Castle Creations, put his Castle powered Mugen on pole with TQ in qualifying. A1 was all Taylor, until a puffed battery back died mere feet from the finish line. Instead it was Kyosho young gun Noah Garner who would bring home the win. A2 saw Team Associated's Chad Parks (who bumped from the B-Main), take the win by nearly eight seconds over the feud for second between Taylor James and SOAR Seiki's Chris Marrant. James would capture second for A2, leading Marrant across the line in third by only .4 seconds. It all came down to A3. Taylor James would prove the old saying "Third times a charm" by taking a 4 second win over Chad Parks and Chris Marrant. James and Parks were tied for overall points, and the tiebreaker came down to their best finish run time. In the end, Chad Parks bumped from the B-Main to the A-Mains, and would walk away the Expert E-Buggy winner. Taylor James would settle for second, and Chris Marrant third.

1/8-scale Expert Nitro Buggy
After an exciting weekend of racing, it all came to a close with the 30-minute Expert Nitro Buggy A-Main. E-Buggy winner, Chad Parks started from first on the grid, but a first lap crash handed the lead to Mugen Seiki's Joe Duffy. From there it was 67 more laps of twists and turns for everyone but Duffy. Joe would take the win with two laps ahead of the field. Chad Parks who flamed out on lap 11 dropped to 12th, however, Parks fought back to catch Duffy and return to second place by mid-race. ANOTHER flame out dropped him down the ranks once again in the final stages, but with a never say die attitude, Parks re-fired and would once again make his way through the field for a second-place finish. Third-place was an equally stunning performance as SOAR Seiki's Chris Marrant suffered electrical issues throughout qualifying, but would bump from the C-Main to the B-Main, from the B-Main to the A-Main, and from last on the grid to third overall.
The 2017 Summer Off-Road RIOT was a HUGE success, and all thanks to this year's sponsors, the Fastlane facility and crew, my partner in crime/wife, and most importantly all of the amazing racers who joined in the fun. 2018 is already in the works…so get ready to mark your calendars!

Book Overview
'The writing glows with emotional intelligence. This atmospheric debut…had me sniffing copiously' Daily Mail
Kent, 1940. The women of Chilbury village have taken umbrage at the Vicar's closure of the choir now that its male singers are at war. But when spirited music professor Primrose Trent arrives, it prompts the creation of an all-female singing group. Resurrecting themselves as The Chilbury Ladies' Choir, the women use their song and unity to embolden the community as the war tears through their lives.
Dependable Mrs Tilling sees the choir as a chance to finally put herself first, and a welcome distraction from thoughts of her son fighting on the front line. For Kitty Winthrop, the precocious youngest daughter of Chilbury Manor, singing is the only way to outshine her glamorous sister Venetia, who isn't letting the war ruin her plan to make every bachelor in the county fall in love with her. Meanwhile, when midwife Edwina Paltry is presented with a dastardly job which she's convinced will make her rich, she will have to misuse more than the trust of the choir's women to carry out her scheme – and nothing is going to stop her.
Filled with intrigue, humour and touching warmth, and set against the devastating backdrop of the Second World War, this is a lively and big-hearted novel told through the voices of four very different but equally vibrant characters, who will win you over as much with their mischief as with their charm.

SCARSDALE, N.Y. -- Kids who love to sing and dance won't want to miss the free concert by Songs for Seeds, the award-winning young children's music program, to help celebrate its one-year anniversary on Saturday, July 30, in Chase Park.
"It's our way to thank all our loyal families for their support during our first year," said Dana Goodman-Fisher, owner of Songs for Seeds and a native of Scarsdale. "We started the program for toddlers one year ago and hoped, but never expected, the amazing response from parents and children. We're thrilled the program has been successful and we look forward to continue bringing a fun musical, educational experience to Scarsdale's young children."
Founded in 2009 by the owners of Apple Seeds, Songs for Seeds has been named "Best Music Class" by "New York Magazine" and "Most Magical Music Class" by Red Tricycle.
The program offers children's morning and afternoon classes for newborns to age 6 at Scarsdale Synagogue on Ogden Road. Click here for schedules for this fall.
Songs for Seeds features 45-minute classes led by a three-piece live band of teacher/musicians who encourage kids to sing, play instruments, and dance. At the end of class, the students are invited to sing with the band (karaoke style) and play the band's instruments (guitar, keys and drums).
The concert begins at 11 a.m.

Top 10 most followed people on twitter: 1) Bieber 2) Lady Gaga 3) Katy Perry 4) Barack Obama 5) Rihanna 6) Youtube 7) Taylor Swift 8) Britney Spears 9) Shakira 10) Justin Timberlake Justin Bieber, alone, receives 50,000 followers a day. Here is another fact. Almost 1/3 of those followers are bots, fakes, or accident accounts. Another fact, over 10,000 accounts are made a year on twitter for people who are already dead! TACTIC: 1) Go to all ten names above on your browser. 2) Pull up each of their twitter accounts on a separate tab. (10 tabs total at least) 3) Click follow on all of them. Then Unfollow. Then Follow. Then Unfollow. 4) Continue to follow these 10 people up and down. 5) You will start to receive 10 followers a minute! The reason you receive followers is because people click on Bieber's account for example, click on his recent followers, see you there, and then follow you! Also bot accounts will put you on their list as the first account that they follow! TONS of bots are following the top twitter accounts. I have a business account with 4,000 followers currently. At least half came from this tactic Hope this helps! -larcha

What Can The Dentist Do For MY TMJ Troubles?
- February 23, 2017
Do you have TMJ related troubles? Are you aware that this is usually due to an underlying teeth-grinding issue known as bruxism? Did you know that our Plainville, CT dentist's office can help with that? True story. Keep reading to hear more about it, and then be sure to get in-touch with us to schedule your consultation with Dr. Peltzer.
If you are not sure whether or not you grind your teeth, it is a good idea to talk to your sleep partner about the sounds you make while you are asleep. When you are here for your next visit, Dr. Peltzer can examine your teeth for signs of unusual wear, check the muscles around your jaw, and ask specific questions about your behavior and medical history to determine if bruxism is a problem for you.
Some other signs to watch for include rhythmic contractions of the jaw muscles, morning headaches or jaw pain, teeth that feel loose, and unexplained facial soreness or pain.
Once we know what you are dealing with, we can work on putting a plan in place to get you back on track fast.
Relaxation Techniques
It turns out that there are some things that you might be able to do on your own to get some relief from TMJ pain. For example, cutting out tobacco and decreasing alcohol and caffeine intake will often decrease the frequency and intensity of the problem.
When you come in for your consultation, we will work with you on additional techniques and exercises to help you stay relaxed throughout the day. This will help, to a certain extent, but it will take concerted effort on your part, and it may not go far enough.
Mouthguards & Nightguards
At Gentle Dental Care, we can help stop your grinding and prevent further damage from bruxism by fitting you with a custom-made occlusal guard, which is a mouthguard-type of dental appliance for TMJ trouble. It will keep your teeth from grinding against each other, even while you sleep. This solution is a little more expensive than a one-size-fits-all store-bought appliance, but there is one big difference: ours actually work!
Other Dental Solutions
Another thing to consider is the possibility that you could be experiencing TMJ related pain because your teeth are not in the best condition. Like, if your teeth are not sufficiently aligned, or you have some teeth that are missing altogether, this could be the root cause of your problems. As such, this necessitates a different approach when it comes to treatment.
As far as other dental solutions go, we can provide crowns, dental implants, or short-term clear aligner orthodontics.
One way or another, we will get your life back to normal!
Stop The Headaches, Call The Dentist!
We hope you have been inspired by the possibilities outlined in today's post. If the bruxism symptoms we have mentioned sound familiar, please contact us as soon as possible to make an appointment with Dr. Peltzer. We can evaluate your specific concerns and provide solutions that will end your discomfort and protect your teeth.

Arthritic Dogs Do Very Well On This
Pill, Except Ones That Die
By CHRIS ADAMS
Staff Reporter of THE
WALL STREET JOURNAL March 13,
might call it a made-for-TV drug.
Approved for human use in the U.S.
but not marketed that way, an
arthritis medicine called Rimadyl
languished for nearly 10 years in
developmental limbo, then emerged in
a surprising new form: Instead of a
human drug, it was now a drug for
arthritic dogs. And it became a hit.
the aid of slick commercials
featuring once-lame dogs bounding
happily about, Rimadyl changed the
way veterinarians treated dogs.
"Clients would walk in and say,
'What about this Rimadyl?' "
says George Siemering, who practices
in Springfield, Va.
those TV spots are gone. The reason
has to do with dogs like Montana.
six-year-old Siberian husky with
stiff back legs, Montana hobbled out
of a vet's office in Brooklyn, N.Y.,
six months ago accompanied by his
human, Angela Giglio, and a supply of
Rimadyl pills. At first, the drug
appeared to work. But then Montana
lost his appetite. He went limp,
wobbling instead of walking. Finally
he didn't walk at all. He ate leaves,
vomited, had seizures and,
eventually, was put to sleep. An
autopsy showed the sort of liver
damage associated with a bad drug
drugs are big business -- an
estimated $3 billion world-wide --
and Rimadyl is one of the
bestsellers. It has been given to
more than four million dogs in the
U.S. and more abroad, brought Pfizer
Inc. tens of millions of dollars in
sales, and pleased many veterinarians
and dog owners. But the drug has also
stirred a controversy, with other pet
owners complaining that nobody warned
them of its risks.
owner, Ms. Giglio, is among them.
After she informed Pfizer and the
Food and Drug administration of her
relatively youthful dog's death,
Pfizer offered her $430 "as a
gesture of good will" and to
cover part of the medical costs.
Insulted by the offer and a
stipulation that she agree to tell no
one about the payment except her tax
preparer, she refused to sign and
didn't take the money. "There's
just no way in my conscience or heart
I can release them from blame,"
she says.
reports of bad reactions and deaths
started streaming in to the FDA, the
agency suggested that Pfizer mention
"death" as a possible side
effect in a warning letter to vets,
on labels and in TV ads. Pfizer
eventually did use the word with vets
and on labels, but when given an
ultimatum about the commercials --
mention "death" in the
audio or end the ads -- Pfizer chose
to drop them.
director of animal-products technical
services, Edward W. Kanara, says that
when reports started coming in,
"we acted extremely promptly
based on the information we
had." Pfizer points out that
reported adverse events involve less
than 1% of treated dog.
Rimadyl's 1997 launch, the FDA has
received reports of about 1,000 dogs
that died or were put to sleep and
7,000 more that had bad reactions
after taking the drug, records and
official estimates indicate. The FDA
says such events are significantly
the numbers include cases
"possibly" related to
Rimadyl, it is hard to be sure. Many
dogs given the arthritis drug are
older, and few are autopsied after
they die. Pfizer says it analyzed
cases of Rimadyl treated dogs that
died in 1998 and found a link to
Rimadyl to be "likely" in
12% of cases and "not
likely" in 22%; it says there
was too little information for a
judgment about the others.
Despite these problems, the FDA
says Rimadyl deserves to be on the
market, provided vets take the proper
precautions. These include advising
dog owners what bad reactions to
watch for and periodically doing
liver-function or other lab tests.
a few weeks, Pfizer will begin
affixing a safety sheet directly to
packages of Rimadyl pills. It is the
first time either FDA officials or
Pfizer can recall such a step being
taken in the world of animal drugs.
-- generically carprofen -- is an
anti-inflammatory medicine. Developer
Roche Laboratories expected to market
it for people in 1988 and received
FDA approval, but shelved the plan
after concluding the market for such
drugs was too crowded. In addition,
some outside experts expressed
concerns; a commentary in a
pharmaceutical journal noted unusual
liver-function readings in 14% to 20%
of test subjects and opined that
"until additional data on
carprofen are available, older
compounds should probably be tried
idea of switching the product to the
animal-drug track soon arose. A
couple of corporate transactions
later, it ended up in the hands of
Pfizer's animal-drug unit.
it was treated to the kind of
sophisticated marketing Pfizer does
well. A survey of 885 dog owners was
done. Besides shedding light on
favorite dog names (Jake, Ginger,
Lady), the poll revealed that
one-fifth of dog owners would be
willing to spend "whatever it
took" to buy an aging dog an
extra year or two of life. No fewer
than 53% agreed that "my dog is
a better companion than other members
of my family."
FDA requires safety and efficacy
testing for animal drugs just as for
human ones, but animal-drug tests are
smaller. Pfizer says about 500 dogs
got Rimadyl in various trials, which
is no more than a fifth of the number
of subjects in comparable human-drug
trials. Some dogs showed unusual
liver-function readings and one young
beagle on a high dose died, but for
the most part, the FDA and Pfizer
didn't find side effects alarming.
The drug was approved for an
early-1997 launch.
same year, the FDA made it easier to
market drugs directly to consumers on
TV. Soon, Pfizer was running
commercials in which a once-stiff
yellow Labrador retriever named Lady
bounded over a fallen tree as she
fetched tennis balls beside a lake.
In another ad, a dog leapt through a
window and slid down a banister.
were also full-page magazine ads and
a public-relations campaign, whose
results, the PR firm later said,
included 1,785 print stories, 856
radio reports and 245 TV news reports
"generating 25.5 million
positive impressions on the
on, vets were floored by the drug's
effects. "The results in some
cases have been pretty darn close to
miraculous," says David Whitten
of the Hilldale Veterinary Hospital
in Southfield, Mich. "I'm using
this drug on my own dog. It has been
effective. But as with all
medications, side effects are
certainly a problem."
First Complaints
Indeed, within months of the
launch, vets at Colorado State
University in Fort Collins noticed
troubling reactions. Labrador
retrievers seemed particularly
affected. Since the safety studies
for Rimadyl had emphasized testing on
young beagles, Pfizer went back to
conduct another, small test just on
Labs; it says that test showed no
particular problem.
Keller, an FDA veterinary-medicine
official, notes that "any time
you take a product from the
investigation and put it into actual
practice, you're going to see things
you didn't expect." But reports
about Rimadyl came in by the
hundreds. The FDA had received just
over 3,000 animal-drug bad-reaction
reports in 1996, the year before
Rimadyl's launch; in 1998, the drug's
first full year, Rimadyl alone
produced more than that many.
swamped the FDA's tiny Center for
Veterinary Medicine in Rockville, Md.
Pfizer was scrambling as well.
"Basically, their
response," says Dr. Keller,
"was 'Tell us what you want us
to do. We love the fact that it's
selling so well, but we don't know
what to do with all these adverse
reactions.' "
FDA and Pfizer discussed a "Dear
Doctor" letter to be sent to
vets. FDA records show the agency
found parts of an early Pfizer draft
"unacceptable as they are
promotional in tone... ." It was
records also show Pfizer disagreed
with the FDA's suggestion that the
letter cite "death" as a
possible side effect. To get the
letter out, the FDA told Pfizer it
was "agreeing to your exclusion
of the 'death' syndrome from the
letter at this time. However, we will
revisit the 'death' syndrome issue
and other potential side effects for
possible inclusion in labeling at a
later date." So the term didn't
appear in the first warning Pfizer
sent, in mid-1997.
Meanwhile, dog owners were asking
for Rimadyl. "It was their
advertising that sold me on the
drug," says Michelle Walsh, a
Phoenix woman who says her miniature
schnauzer was given it and later
that vets needed much convincing.
They saw clear benefits from the
drug. On top of that, they could get
points from Pfizer for each Rimadyl
purchase they made; points were
redeemable for PalmPilots, Zip drives
for PCs and other equipment.
Pfizer's letter told vets to explain
to owners the signs of a bad reaction
to Rimadyl, such as vomiting,
lethargy or diarrhea, it is evident
that a great many didn't. The FDA's
Dr. Keller says, "There are a
lot of veterinarians who don't think
they need to take the time, or who
forget, or for whatever reason are
not providing animal owners with this
Allen, whose chow-mix, Maggie,
started on Rimadyl last summer, says,
"All my vet did was give me this
little bag of pills, with no
information." She says Maggie
"didn't want to take it, but I
made her."
four weeks, Maggie began to vomit
violently, Ms. Allen says. The dog
vanished from their home outside
Birmingham, Ala., and later was found
lying in a ditch. Ms. Allen loaded
her into a truck and sped 35 miles to
a veterinary clinic, but the
five-year-old dog died. Her vet
wouldn't implicate Rimadyl in the
death until Ms. Allen urged him to
send the dog's internal organs to the
University of Illinois vet school,
where an examination showed liver
was buried under a marker adorned
with the figure of an angel. And Ms.
Allen took to the streets, delivering
a letter to all the vets in the area
urging them to "understand that
Rimadyl helps certain dogs, but it is
poison to other dogs."
As the complaints poured in, the
FDA told Pfizer it would have to
revisit the label issue. Pfizer had
referred to "fatal
outcomes" on the label as a
possible effect of the drug class to
which Rimadyl belonged, but not
specifically of this drug. Now the
agency asked that Pfizer cite
"death" prominently as a
possible side effect of the drug.
Describing the back and forth with
Pfizer, the FDA's Dr. Keller says,
"They did it. They weren't
enthusiastic about it, but they have
always been cooperative. And that's
part of the nature of the game we
play with industry."
the FDA also wanted the word
"death" in the audio of
commercials. Pfizer indicated this
"would be devastating to the
product," FDA minutes of a
February 1999 meeting show. A company
spokesman says that "putting
'death' on a 30-second commercial and
in proper context was something we
didn't think was possible."
Rather than do so, it eventually
pulled the commercials.
says it now will do traditional
marketing to vets, making sure they
know the proper way to use the drug.
Another "Dear Doctor"
letter will soon go out, and the
company will start attaching a safety
sheet to pill packages.
acknowledges it has a perception
problem with some dog owners; a
consumer group, for instance, has
mounted a campaign dubbed BARKS, for
Be Aware of Rimadyl's Known
Side-effects. The company is
contacting dog owners who have told
their stories on the Internet, and it
is offering to pay medical and
diagnostic expenses for some dogs who
may have been harmed by Rimadyl.
Pfizer stands firmly behind the value
of the drug, of which it says sales
have continued to grow. Most vets
also remain bly behind Rimadyl.
Owners, too, generally say they think
the drug is important -- they just
want to know the risks.
Roger Williams gave his mixed-breed
terrier, William, Rimadyl for more
than a year and believes it
contributed to the dog's death.
"But if I had to do it all over,
I would give my dog Rimadyl
again," he says. "The
difference is I would have known what
to expect. Without Rimadyl, William
was miserable. And what's the point
of living another three years if
you're miserable?"

The real
experiences of the owners of pets on Rimadyl --
Yellow Lab Reacts
after 10 Days on Rimadyl; Is
From an E-mail received
December 7, 2001:
beloved Yellow Lab Bayfield (Biff for
short) was 11 years old when he
started to slow down considerably due
to arthritis. The vet had him on
EtoGesic without much success. I
asked about other options. Rimadyl
was recommended. I immediately
expressed concern, as I had heard
reports of negative side effects of
Rimadyl. However, I was assured that
they had seen promising results and
that he would be monitored. I
eventually agreed to give it a try.
a couple of days of starting Rimadyl,
Biff perked up and was moving freely.
We were optimistic. However, within
approximately 10 days, he started
vomiting large quantities of blood.
Alarmed, we took him immediately to
the vet. The vet felt there was a
pre-existing condition that was
complicated by the effects of old
age. We took Biff home and, within a
month, he became lethargic, could not
stand, became incontinent and could
no longer eat or drink. Biff, who was
just one, big, goofy Lab with a heart
of pure gold looked so sad and as if
he was in a great deal of pain. His
condition deteriorated so quickly, we
were at a loss as to what to do. Our
vet could offer us no hope. We
finally decided to have the vet come
to our house and put him down.
guilt I feel is tremendous. I wish I
had known that vomiting blood was the
'classic' initial symptom of a
reaction to Rimady. I wish I had
known there was a possible
'treatment' for a reaction. I cannot
believe that Pfizer can continue to
dispense this medication. This just
should not have happened. Other than
the arthritis, Biff was in great
health. Our other Lab, Jesse, is 13
1/2 years old ...also with arthritis.
She will never go on Rimadyl. We have
changed her diet to include holistic
remedies, and she is doing remarkably
well. I am writing this in the hopes
that no one else has to go through
what we did...."
Dies within Days of Beginning Rimadyl
From an E-mail received
November 23, 2001:
found your website after my Borzoi
died suddenly following a course of
Rimadyl. What alarms me is that it
has been four years since the
concerns about Rimadyl began to
surface, and yet I was totally
unaware of the most serious concerns
(sudden, lethal adverse reactions),
as was my veterinarian.
my Borzoi, was 10-1/2 years old and
slowing down considerably due to
arthritis. We had him on coated
aspirin and glucosamine and
chondroitin sulfate for six months
and then last week when I asked if
there was more we could do for him,
our vet suggested either Rimadyl or
Metacam (not available in the U.S.
yet). He said there could be
potential problems with long-term use
of either of these drugs, but that we
would do regular blood tests to catch
any such problems before they did any
serious damage. I chose Rimadyl
because he said he'd seen very good
results with it and I thought it
would be easier for me to administer
a tablet than a liquid medication
with Josh.
I went
home with a sample 10-day supply to
see if the product had any value
before committing to a larger supply.
Josh weighed 91 pounds and the dosage
was two capsules at 100 mg each per
day, in combination with the
glucosamine and chondroitin. Within
24 hours the results were dramatic.
Josh walked with greater ease and
people commented on the new spring in
his step. The very first day, he
chose a longer route for our walk,
where in recent weeks he'd
deliberately sought the short cuts.
But within three days, he started to
slow down a bit. On the fourth
evening, he seemed to have lost his
appetite. The next morning I found
him in great distress, panting and
gagging. When I urged him to get up,
his hind end totally collapsed and he
couldn't move his back legs.
vet made a house call with an
assistant and they carried Josh out
on a stretcher. X-rays showed his
spine was 'like that of a
two-year-old.' Our vet said the
symptoms suggested a central nervous
system problem. Josh did not get any
Rimadyl that day. With his condition
deteriorating into lethargy and
almost paralysis of the hind quarters
by that night, our vet gave him a
cortisone treatment. The next morning
Josh was worse, clearly in misery. He
didn't even acknowledge my arrival
with any sign of hope or pleasure.
Our vet could offer no further
treatment suggestions and predicted
Josh could be dead within a couple of
days. I couldn't bear to see him in
such distress and in the absence of
any hope of improvement decided to
euthanize him yesterday.
At no
time was the subject of Rimadyl
raised as a possible cause. Then I
recalled a friend a couple of years
ago telling me she had met a drug
company rep at a conference and the
rep had told her one of their canine
arthritis drugs was killing dogs.
Although I couldn't believe a drug
that was known to be killing dogs
could still be on the market two
years later, I did an Internet search
on Rimadyl today only to discover it
was this drug she was talking about
and that it was still widely in use
and obviously still not as well
understood as it should be by
My vet
is a thorough, well-respected
professional who spends all kinds of
time with me and my pets during our
visits to explain all the
possibilities and options in great
detail -- so he wasn't being
negligent. We both talked with the
Pfizer Canada vet, who kindly but
adroitly seized on aspects of Josh's
medical history -- a brief episode of
neck pain four years ago, a 10-pound
weight loss this past year (which may
or may not be significant in a member
of such a large breed who was a fussy
eater) -- to suggest Josh succumbed
to an underlying condition rather
than Rimadyl. Of course, without an
autopsy, there's no way to definitely
implicate Rimadyl. However, my vet
and I are still suspicious. He says
he's 'on the fence' on this one and
will definitely approach Rimadyl with
far more caution in the future.
I hope
you will pass this information on to
people who should have it so as to
prevent any more suspicious deaths.
Josh's symptoms and story are similar
enough to others on this site, that I
feel their connection to Rimadyl is
more than coincidence. I can't know
for sure if the outcome would have
been any different without Rimadyl,
but if I'd known of all these other
cases and the questions surrounding
Rimadyl, I wouldn't have chosen to
use it on Josh. Respectfully, Marylu

Given Simultaneously with Prednisone;
No Baseline Tests Done; Side Effects
Warnings Not Given...Fatal Outcome
From an E-mail received November
28, 2001:
Tink was 13 years old....old perhaps
in some people's mind but not in
ours. On 5/8/01, during a routine
exam of Tink, my wife asked our vet
if there was anything we could give
Tink for her slight limp and
suspected arthritis. The vet gave us
two sample bottles of Rimadyl. No
blood test done. We gave her 75mg
twice a day. When it ran out we
decided to continue with it,
basically because at that time we
couldn't see that it was hurting her
at all. The vet had already given his
blessing to get more if we needed it.
5/30/01, we purchased a large bottle
of Rimadyl right from the
receptionist at the same animal
clinic; we did not have to see the
vet to do so. By 7/03/01, Tink didn't
seem to quite herself; among other
things her energy level had gone down
somewhat. So back to the same vet she
went. This time he prescribed
Prednisone because he said she had an
enlarged heart, and he took some
x-rays. No mention was made of the
8/29/01, she was back to the vet
because she had been coughing and
gagging quite a bit. A different vet
at the same clinic saw her and
prescribed Cephalexin 500mg. The
Rimadyl was almost gone, so my wife
asked this different vet about
getting another bottle. She also
informed this vet (in case he hadn't
seen it on Tink's chart), that Tink
was also on Prednisone for her
enlarged heart. This vet was somewhat
puzzled to learn that Tink was taking
both medicines at the same
time....not because he said they were
not compatible with each other but
because they both contained
anti-inflammatory agents that were
basically doing the same thing. He
suggested we cut back on the Rimadyl
a little. Still no blood tests done
on her. We then decreased the Rimadyl
to one 75mg a day and most of the
time she only got about half of that
a day.
this time she was also showing some
signs of incontinence....a dribble
here and there, whenever she got to
her feet. Getting to her feet was
also becoming much harder. We thought
that the incontinence and struggling
to her feet were just signs of age.
By 11/12/01, we started to noticed to
notice a red tinge to some of the
urine drops on the floor. So we took
her to the vet again. This time, the
first vet saw her and said she had a
bladder infection and prescribed SMZ
TMP Double S, an anti-biotic. We gave
her the medicine for a week, along
with the other two she was already
taking and didn't notice an
improvement with the blood in her
On 11/19/01, when the antibiotic ran
out, we called the vet and he said to
get some more and try it for another
week. Also on this morning she
vomited and just didn't want to get
up. We were reluctant at first to
call the vet because we both had the
feeling from talking with him that he
would suggest bringing her in and
'putting her down.' By 11/21/01, all
she wanted to do was lie down, though
she was able to still go outside
(after we got her on her feet) and do
her business. I think pride in
herself was the energy that enabled
her to do even that. I called the vet
and described the symptoms and his
answer was 'She's old.....she's got a
lot wrong with her...I had to think
about doing the right thing.... he
could try and drag out her life for
her if that's what we wanted, but it
probably wasn't fair to her.' And on
and so on.
11/24/01, we stopped the antibiotic
because we weren't finding as much
blood as before and because I thought
she might be having some kind of
adverse reaction to the stuff. For
the next two days ,we spent all the
time with her. She looked so weak and
sad, and so very pathetic. The only
thing that brought her to a sitting
position during that time was if you
offered her a snack, which by this
time we were giving her all her
favorites foods and treats. Once
encouraged she would also drink a
little. We made an appointment for
3:00 PM last Monday, 11/26/01. I
carried her to the car, held her
little head in my hands while my wife
drove to the clinic. Once there, we
still hoped for a miracle. We
described again the symptoms that we
thought had come on very quickly. But
the vet told us that 'her time had
come....we were doing the right
thing.' He also commented on what we
had also noticed, that her stomach
had became a little bloated and
held her and cried like I'm crying
now and she went to sleep for the
last time in our arms. I carried her
back to the car and she came home for
the last time. Yesterday, Tuesday,
11/27/01, trying to get a handle on
the heartache and grief, I looked
around the Internet at the different
'dog' sites. When I got to srdogs and
read about Rimadyl, I was shocked.
Tink had vomited, she did have the
blood in her urine, she had become
somewhat incontinent, she had become
weak and lethargic, she was
stumbling, struggling and having a
hard time getting to her feet and
maintaining her balance, and her
appetite had decreased a lot.....all
in a matter of a few months.
have spoken to our vet about our
concerns, and after repeating all
Tink's symptoms to him again and
saying that they seemed to match a
lot of the side effects associated
with Rimadyl, he said they also
matched symptoms of old age in a dog
too. He claims he didn't know she was
still on Rimadyl because he wasn't
the one who handed them to us when we
went back twice for the
refills.(Makes you wonder about her
chart.) He also says that he never
would have prescribed the Rimadyl and
Prednisone together if he had known
Tink was still on the Rimadyl. But he
believes through all his 'experience'
that the symptoms she had, that had
come on so quickly, were not related
to Rimadyl, with or without the
Prednisone. 'She was just old and her
time had come, and we were right in
what we did.' When I asked why a
blood test was never done during all
of this, he said he didn't believe it
was worth the money....and that he
had dispensed a lot of Rimadyl
without any tests. He said that
Pfizer may recommend a test before
and during, but it is not required.
He was sorry that she didn't live to
be 16, but "not all dogs
do", he said.

Lab Begins EtoGesic Therapy for
Arthritis; Is Switched to
Rimadyl.....Then Dies
From an E-mail received August
13, 2001: "Our beloved Betsy, a
Black Lab, had a slight problem with
arthritis. On June 20, the vet
prescribed Etogesic, which, within
one week, caused vomiting, diarrhea
and loss of appetite. The vet
recommended withdrawing the drug, and
she immediately improved. The vet
then recommended Rimadyl, telling us
that there were some adverse effects,
but that they were very rare. They
tested Betsy's blood and liver, which
were both normal, and told us that
she was very healthy.
two weeks of beginning Rimadyl, Betsy
began vomiting blood. The next night
she passed blood through the bowel
and lost all energy; she was unable
to walk. I took her to the vet, who
kept saying it was probably
intestinal cancer and that they would
test for it. Each day, she became
progressively worse. It was never
mentioned that Rimadyl could be
lethal to Labs. We were waiting for
results of another cancer test when
Betsy passed away at the vet's,
two-and-a-half weeks after starting
Rimadyl. An autopsy showed that both
EtoGesic and Rimadyl were implicated
in her death.
hearts are broken. We need to do
something more to warn others. I urge
everyone to please let us know if
this has happened to you. We need to
get this information to the
manufacturers of these drugs and to

public, as well.

subsequently found on the Internet.
Unfortunately, I wasn't given a sheet

I have
a case number with Pfizer. They are
paying (I think) for the autopsy. I
still have many questions....... and
have to wonder about liability on
Pfizer's part. I'm sure Rimadyl is a
very helpful drug. I am, however,
also quite sure it is what shortened
my dog's life. I feel a blood test
should be required before the drug is
prescribed, or as a follow up before
long-term prescriptions are given.
Can you give any suggestions? Where
should I look? What should I do? I
would like to prevent this happening
to other dogs. I would like to do
something for them, for their loving
owners, and for Snickers.
-- "Our most beloved and
cherished 14-year-old yellow Labrador
Retriever (Manda) is dying as a
result of being on Rimadyl for three
weeks. The last three days she has
been receiving IV therapy in order to
stay alive. She has displayed every
single symptom that we have read
about on various websites as signs of
Rimadyl poisoning. Up to this point,
she was as healthy as a horse, with
the exception of some stiffness in
her right hind leg, which our vet
originally diagnosed as arthritis and
for which she was given Rimadyl. (It
was subsequently re-evaluated as a
torn ligament.) We are in desperate
need of help from anyone who may
direct us about treatment . We have
read that dogs HAVE recovered from
this horrendous plight, and need as
much information as we can possibly
obtain in order to restore our Manda.
-- It was when I had read the
reactions to Rimadyl on the srdogs
site that I realised how ill my dog
was. Sadly, the outcome was an
unhappy one; he was put to sleep on
December 9, 2000. I was too upset to
have a post mortem carried out and so
can never prove it was about the
possible side effects of this drug,
which may have caused me to act
faster than I did. He had a cruciate
ligament operation and I thought the
initial symptoms of lethargy and loss
of appetite were due to the surgery.
It was only when he developed wet
eczema (hotspots in the US) that I
became concerned it might have been
something else. As I am in the UK, I
have contacted Pfizer ( who paid some
of the blood and stool sample costs)
and, more importantly, I have lodged
a complaint with the Vetinerary
Medicines Directorate (an Executive
member of the Ministry of Agriculture
Fisheries and Food) as I was given no
information with his prescription of
Rimadyl and I feel this is

Named New Huntington in the grant, which listed Edward Burling and 65 others, including a number of Ferrises, for whom Ferrisburgh is named. The town is named for three members of the Hunt family among the grantees: Josiah, Charles and Marmaduke. The "New" was dropped by Legislative action in 1795.
The first town's Post Office was established in 1827 as Huntingdon, and it took fifteen years of protests from townspeople to get the spelling corrected.
It's actually unusual that it got corrected at all: a number of locations in Vermont are named as they are because of arbitrary decisions on the part of the Post Office and its practice of ignoring the advice and desires of the local populace. Folks in Charlotte and Milton, among others, had similar experiences.
So much of Huntington's land is mountainous that most of the peaks have not been officially named. Camel's Hump State Forest takes up much of the eastern portion of the town.
Though many would argue in favor of Mount Mansfield, "The Hump" (pictured above) is easily the most recognizable peak in the state (such that it was used on the Vermont Quarter issued in 2001). Samuel de Champlain called it Le Lion Couchant (The Couching Lion). Natives were somewhat more descriptive, using a term meaning "prudently, we make a campfire in a circle near water and rest at this mountain." Whatever its name, generations of hikers will attest to the fact that a rest is indeed needed while climbing it.

"Just keep believing in your own quest and don't listen to others," Brazilian director Walter Salles told a group of ten young filmmakers here at Cannes, over an exquisite luncheon on the Riviera. The ten filmmakers came from all over the world, selected, on the merit of their scripts, to participate in a networking sojourn at Cannes hosted by the "Fabrique des Cinèmas du Monde", a program financed by the French government in keeping with their tradition to support co-production.
"The program is designed to help boost the cinema industries of countries where it is not so developed," explained French Institute director Valérie Mouroux, as our fish was being served. "These promising film directors, from Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East, have the chance to meet one-on-one with producers, to search for co-production funds." They also have their scripts analyzed by an invited film director, this year Walter Salles, who meets individually with the directors to trouble-shoot." Former patrons have included the celebrated directors Abderranhmane Sissako and Rithy Panh.
"Yes, it is a great opportunity," opined my lunchmate, director Kamar Ahmad from Bangladesh. Ahmad's script was about two friends who cross India, beginning in Calcutta, to search for a river bank remembered in one of the friends' youth, before his mother's death.
And like most of the other directors here, Ahmad was no novice in the industry: his documentary Are you Listening!, about a farmer saving his land from being lost to the sea in Bangladesh, won the Grand Prize at the prestigious Cinéma du Réel documentary festival in Paris last year.
"Will you get enough funds to make your new film here?" I asked.
He shrugged. "We will see."
The dessert was served--garnished with a chocolate Palme d'Or.
Across from me, Damien Ounouri, from Algeria, told me about his film Chedda, about the oppressive weight of tradition for an Algerian woman.
"You guys know about women's oppression?"
"We try!" said his producer, sitting next to him. "We make an effort to understand your gender. Isn't that good?"
It was inspiring to see these directors---from Brazil, Cuba, Bangladesh, Algeria, South Africa, Syria, Laos, Georgia, Senegal and Venezuela--given hope for their films.
"I look forward to my slot with Walter Salles tomorrow," Ahmad, the Bangladeshi director confided. "He has been so generous and open with us. I was so happy when he told me that my film reminded him of one of his own, the road movie, Central Station!"

Students of journalism will remember one of the first things taught to them – Free Press is the Fourth Pillar of democracy which keeps the first three pillars on their toes. Newspapers and journalists were instrumental in the Indian freedom struggle, and we've had free press in our democracy, if we count some years of exception. In recent times, journalism is getting a bad rap because of allegations of sensationalism, misreporting, biased reporting and stories being planted either out of spite or for money. The rise of social media has also changed the face of journalism, with Twitter being the first source of information whenever a big event happens. Let's take a look at what the Blogosphere thinks is ailing the Indian media.
In an ideal world, the media is free, fair and accountable. As recent incidents and trends in the media space have shown, this is not the case when it comes to journalism in India. The culture of breaking news and the overlapping of political ideology with reporting has brought down the credibility of the Indian media sharply. Prashanth Bhat writes, "Journalism in India is going through a serious crisis. While crony capitalism, cross-media monopoly and concentration of media ownership is killing the profession from within, reluctance among journalist associations to openly debate allegations of corruption, paid news, breach of ethics and dilution of professional standards is clearly undermining the credibility of news reporters and the mainstream media in the country."
We're not being cynical and saying all is lost when it comes to the integrity of Indian media. Journalists have, in the past, exposed huge scams and taken the government, the policemen and other national institutions to task by asking difficult questions. This is the reason that Moin Quazi feels that if the media takes efforts to make some real changes internally, it can regain the lost glory days- "You've got to be a bulldog in the journalism business; you mustn't let go of a story once you've sunk your teeth into it. You shouldn't allow yourself to be bullied. And don't allow yourself to be bought. In the pursuit of truth and fairness, no price is too high to pay. One should make that extra call, take that extra trip, visit that additional source – then do it all over again until one is truly convinced that the story is as accurate, as fair and as thorough as humanly possible. CP Scott the founder editor of The Guardian, one of the world's oldest and most respected newspapers laid down a cardinal rule of journalists the world over:"Comment is free but facts are sacred."
Certain incidents highlight the myopic nature of Indian reporting. For instance, the absolute lack of reportage about the WTO meet makes it loud and clear that real stories fall prey to sensationalism. Biraj Swain says, "Coverage of WTO negotiations and summits is essential because it deconstructs the issues, builds and shapes public opinion (currently our farmers need all of that and more) and provides spine to our politicians to exercise some of it globally. The way mainstream electronic media forced passing of the Juvenile Justice Bill is an apt demonstration of impact of electronic media's hyperventilation. Perhaps media houses could and should use their might for better reasons and what could be a better reason than our farmers and agriculture."
One area where journalism should practice extreme discretion is when it comes to communal matters. The level of emotion associated with religion makes balanced reportage mandatory. However, the on ground reality is the complete opposite. According to Sandeep Bhushan, "When it comes to thriving on stereotypes, the spectacle of prime time news television is no different from the make-believe world of Bollywood. Central to this caricature of communities, is the search for "Muslim-looking" and "speaking" guests to aggressively counter the Hindutva trolls-turned-studio guests word for word, rhetoric for rhetoric. An amalgam of sorts of what the Swiss linguist Ferdinand De Saussure calls the "signifier"—the language—and the "signified"—the image the language evokes."
Gone are the times when the whole family used to sit in front of the TV set to watch the evening news and acquaint themselves with the updates of the day. Nowadays it's all about debates, breaking news, shouting matches to prove one's point. No wonder people have lost both faith and interest in the news. Like Subhrangshu Pratim Sarmah, who has boycotted news channels altogether. "There is something more to the murkier side of our TV journalism. If you want to indulge in character assassination, then the channels are there for your aid. They will initiate campaigns and will find out several 'startling' about their personal life. If all these do not give them enough TRPs, the evening talk show aka media trial will feature some know-it-all panelists – having no connection with that person, who will offer their lofty suggestions which they expect the police or the government to follow. All this continues for a few days and suddenly that burning issue is nowhere in your television screens to be found. The reason: it completed its objective of vilifying the person's character and fetched enough TRPs to remain ahead of other channels."
Where there are pressing issues, there is humour and satire to deal with it. Parody websites have a field day pointing at everything that is wrong with the current situation in the media. And why not, when journalists give them so much fodder to work on! We loved this piece, which makes fun of the (very serious) issue of journalists justifying terror attacks and terrorists just to seem balance, courtesy of The Unreal Times – "Speaking on the occasion, an emotional Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar, one of the organizers of the event, said, "Our work is not appreciated by a large section of the society. We often feel as if the entire world is conspiring against us, and we slip into depression. But our Jihadi journalist brothers and sisters from Indian media houses stand by us every time we are criticized for our work. They are like rays of sunshine amid dark clouds of pessimism."
On the other hand, India has earned the notorious tag of 'Asia's most dangerous country for journalists', all thanks to the blatant killing of reporters who dare to expose wrongdoing. This fact cries out for stricter laws and better investigation of reporters' deaths across the country. Nava Thakuria says, "Demands have been raised in India for a special protection law for 'journalists on duty' and a national action plan for safety and security of media persons. Recently the media fraternity of Assam demonstrated their resentments against the assaults on scribes across the country. Wearing black bands around their mouths, the scribes from both print and electronic media staged the protest demonstration in front of Guwahati Press Club."
These blog posts paint a grim picture of Journalism in India, both when it comes to reporting and the fate of journalists. While Indian media has become a many headed beast, it is possible to tame it with discipline, integrity, and strict laws.

Flagler student Kristin Kownacky went to listen to a visiting Hindu Swami in her quest to learn about other religions and came away feeling that religious enlightenment is tied closely to religious tolerance.
By Kristin Kownacky
All eyes were locked on the short, humble-looking man, as we waited for him to reveal his answer. If someone had dropped the proverbial pin, we all would have heard it, here in the hushed presence of a swami. Finally, after what seemed forever, monk Swami Prakashananda spoke.
"People get caught up in words," he told us. "Our gaze must be turned to the direction the words are pointing."
Some of us murmured in agreement as though we understood – yet maybe it was just in relief that he had spoken. As I re-read my notes, I felt embarrassed. I had no idea what he meant. But then, I was here to learn, wasn't I?
Clad in a bright orange robe, in striking contrast against his dark skin and bright smile, this Chinmaya Mission monk was attempting to urge this eager group, as he had many others, to find in their hearts what they may already knew in their minds, or vice-versa.
Founded in 1953 in India, Hindu-based Chinmaya Mission has branches around the world teaching philosophy of Vedanta, the knowledge of the one Reality. In the common vernacular: helping those of any religious or cultural background to find happiness.
Prakashananda, a monk known as a Swamiji, or more commonly "Swami", was taking a break from mission work on the Caribbean island of Trinidad to visit St. Augustine's Chinmaya branch.

Open Burning and Brush Fire information from the Emergency Services of St. Charles County.
The long winter is winding down. Spring cleaning will soon be on everyone's agenda, both inside the home and outside in the yard. Our yards are filled with debris from fallen leaves to tree limbs. But many people do not know what to do with this yard waste. Most cities in St. Charles County have areas set aside for the collections of this waste to recycle it as mulch. But usually the first thought that comes to mind is, "Let's pile it up and Burn it". So far in 2008, firefighters and paramedics have responded to 34 Grass/Brush/Woods fires. Spring is usually the busiest time for these types of emergencies. In an effort to try keep a handle on these small fires, the State of Missouri came up with a State Statue which governs Open Burning state-wide.
The Open Burning season in St. Charles County runs from September 16th to April 14th every year (10CSR 10-5.070(3) (B)). Open burning is prohibited from April 15th to September 15th by this statute. As St. Charles County is in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area it must adhere to the St. Louis Clean Air Policy. The State Statute dictates who can burn and where open burning may occur. It also, names the local Fire Departments and Districts as administers of the permits. All of the Municipalities in St. Charles County ban or bar open burning within their city limits (10CSR 10-5.070(1) (A)). The only places where open burning can occur are in unincorporated areas of St. Charles County. Even then the property owners there must obtain a burn permit from their local Fire Department or Fire District. These permits are required by the statute and have very specific rules that must be followed by the permit holder (10CSR 10-5.070(3) (c)).
The firefighters and paramedics of the St. Charles County Emergency Services remind those with burn permits to follow the requirements of the permit. They also ask that anyone planning to have an open burn to come by and get a permit. For the rules governing the issuing of permits and the costs associated with the permits, please contact your local fire department or district. Permit holders are asked to call the issuing Fire Agency prior to lighting the fire. Anyone burning without a permit can be assessed a fine by the St. Charles County Sheriff's Department.
When conducting a fire, the firefighters and paramedics ask that our customers follow the rules on the permits. Making sure you have a garden hose, rakes, shovels or fire extinguisher close by will allow for a safer fire. If the fire becomes uncontrollable, immediately call 9-1-1!

Act 1, Scene 1, Part 1
• The story takes place in the living of the Charles family in Pittsburgh. There is very little furniture in the room, and it all focuses around an upright piano with legs that are carved to look like an African sculpture.
• August Wilson leaves a director's note that there should be a long silence, like the coming of a storm.
• Boy Willie knocks on the door of the home at dawn with his friend and partner, Lymon. Uncle Doaker answers, and it is revealed that the two young men have come from Mississippi to sell watermelons in the city.
• Willie calls for his sister, Berniece, because he hasn't seen her in three years since he was in prison.
• Berniece stands in the stairwell and scolds her brother for making so much noise at such an early hour.
• Willie states that they should all have a celebratory...

With graceful dancing, longing poems and fiery sermons, the city bade farewell Friday to Officer Michael R. Bailey in a two-hour celebration of the life of the latest Chicago police officer to die violently.
Just two months after Officer Thomas Wortham IV was laid to rest in a similarly uplifting ceremony, officials and police officers gathered again, but this time loving reflections were tinged with anger not only about losing three officers in the last two months but also that Bailey's murder in a robbery attempt remains unsolved.
Charges have been filed in both the murders of Wortham and Officer Thor Soderberg, who was fatally shot in Englewood on July 7. But investigators still are struggling to gather evidence about who shot Bailey last Sunday outside his Park Manor home as he shined the windows of his new Buick.

Recently I have been posting a lot about luxury beauty but the truth is that I adore my bargains. There are tonnes of affordable brands and products that I rely on daily. I love finding fabulous dupes for luxury items, and I think the quality of affordable brands now a days are just phenomenal.
I wanted to do a quick run through of a few products that I reach for almost daily that are cheap as chips and in my opinion deserve a place in everyone's beauty routine.
Make up:
- H&M Bronzer €7.99– I use this as a day-to-day bronzer when I need to warm up my makeup. Bonus it comes with a mirror so I usually keep it in my bag. It comes in six different shades so finding a good colour match is easier than most bargain brands.
- & Other Stories Lipstick €15*– I am so obsessed with the beauty department in this store and their lipsticks come in 50 shades! The one in my handbag constantly is Imperial Carmine. I change lipsticks all the time and I this one isn't super affordable but the quality is similar to a luxury brand.
- Wet 'n' Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder €5 *– Who doesn't loves a little glow? Well actually this isn't a little glow, this palette packs a lot of luminosity.
- Maybelline Brow Satin pencil €8.49– I am so fussy with my brows and the products that I use. I love my luxury items like Anastasia Beverly Hills, Benefit and Lancome but I decided to put this pencil to the test recently and I quite like it. It is not as slim as the brow whiz or the precisely my brow pencil but it is great when I want to quickly fill in and shape my brows on a day-to-day basis. I have to be honest and if I am going on a night out and want my brows on fleek I do not use this product, but for a day-to-day fuller brow this pencil is great!
- Maybelline Eyestudio Colour Tattoo Cream Gel €10.49– I use the shade Creme de Nude as an eye shadow primer. I find that powder eyeshadow really stick to this product and it can intesify shadows and make it last way longer.
- Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Matte & Poreless €8.99– I have been using Fit Me foundation for about 4 years and the matte & poreless version for a year now. This is my everyday foundation with medium coverage that is buildable. I have combination/oily skin which is why I prefer the matte & poreless version, but I do still love the original version. Note the colour above is not my colour, 110 is super pale that I usually blend it with other shades to lighten them if I don't have tan on.
- Maybelline Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara €8.99– I have been a fan of the Maybelline mascaras for as long as I can remember. They launch new mascaras all the time and I love trying them all out. At the moment this is the one I am wearing daily. Again this is a day-to-day mascara and when I want really dramatic false lash look I go for a luxury brand like Urban Decay or YSL.
- Maybelline Eraser Eye Concelaer €11.99– This is another product I have been using since it launched and I actually prefer it to a lot of luxury concealers. This is one of the bargain products that I use daily and also wear it on nights out for full coverage looks. It is designed for the eye but I also use it for correction on breakouts and to subtly highlight my face.
- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream €7.75– I love a matte lip but I hate when liquid lipsticks dry out my lips and make your lips look cracked after an hour or two. The soft matte lip creams give a gorgeous matte finish but are so soft & creamy and feel moisturising on. The colours are really nice, but I always find myself going for the nudes, which there is a great selection of.
- Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara €7.49– I always use a brow mascara to add volume and texture to my eyebrows and I have a few luxury versions that I live by, but a good day-to-day one is this Maybelline version. This accentuates each brow hair to give fuller thicker looking brows. The only thing I don't love is how big the brush is as my brows are so skinny that I prefer smaller applicator, but for the price this one is pretty fabulous!
You may have noticed that Maybelline is my go to budget friendly brand and the main reason for that is because I am always buying the foundation and concealer so when Boots are offering a 3 for 2 that is when I test and try new products because they are pretty much free!
Hair & Body:
- St Moriz Advanced Pro Formula Tanning Mousse €6.49*– For so many years I only used luxury tans because more affordable tans were orange, smelled so bad and would take so long to dry. Now a days affordable brands have really stepped up their game, and I am hugely impressed by St Moriz. Firstly I love mousse tans because they apply so easily, I never get white patches or miss any spots. It dries down so quickly and leaves an instant bronzy shade. When the colour is fully developed it is really natural looking, and the formula fades so evenly over a few days.
- Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo €6.49– For years I hated dry shampoo because I only used batiste and it always left a white gross residue on my hair. Last Summer I decided to try out the Aussie version because I love their shampoo & conditioners and I was so impressed! This version does not leave a white layer on my hair and also adds a little bit of volume to my roots. I also have to add that the scent is beautiful.
- Vaseline €2.69: This is probably the product I use most in the world. I wear it daily for my lips and at night I also put it on my lashes and brows in an attempt to get them to grow. Every so often I get a little dry patches on my arm and I will treat it with Vaseline. This product is just so versatile and an absolute essential!
- Nip + Fab Glycholic Pads €17.99– These little pads have been a life saver over the past year or so. I did write a full review here but a quick roundup is that it helps with breakouts, smooths the texture of my skin and tones. Keep an eye out for special offers on Boots because I usually pick these up half price or 3 for 2.
- Boots Eye Gel €1.99– This is not my anti ageing eye cream but this is a really nice refreshing eye gel that I reach for if my eyes are puffy or sore. It is a really lightweight formula that feels great on the skin.
- Garnier Skin Active Oil Infused Cleansing Water €8.29– I have been using Garnier Micellar water for so many years as a makeup remover and the oil infused version is now my total favourite. The oil slides off black eye makeup so easily and I get all of my makeup off in about 3 pads. I will then usually use a cleanser to actually clean my skin.
- Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb €2.09– I love a good sheet mask and I adore my hyaluronic acid masks from Indeed but they cost about €28 for 4. I decided to try out these masks from Garnier on a recent trip to masks and they are my new obsession. These masks have hyaluronic acid so they are really hydrating and leave my skin feeling plum and refreshed.
There you have it, I am always in Boots on the hunt for bargain beauty and when I find something great I tend to stick with it. If you think I am missing out on any amazing beauty products please let me know in the comments below!
Stay stylish,

I am such a morning person. Like seriously, hard-wired to be alert and awake in the morning. Today is one of the days when I am feeling like a morning person. I was so awake this morning, despite only getting seven-ish hours of sleep. And right now, I am ready to go home. But I don't get to go home today -- I'm going out for dinner with some girls from work and then I'm going to "hang out" with Trip. And I have this horrible feeling that I'm going to get to his apartment and be all like, hey, can I take a nap?
Yup. Such is my life. I just need to get some extra sleep.

In the spirit of World Mental Health Day, I thought it would share a little bit about my own experience on the subject.
It all started in 2015 when my wife went back to work and my life as a stay-at-home Dad in a very mummy-focused world of parenting began. Which on the face of it sounds like a dream come true but the reality of such a dicision didn't hit me until afterwards.
Depression will make you question everything.
As someone who is suffering from depression and anxiety, I have wanted to write about my experiences for some time, wondering what a difference I can make – how I can contribute to the wider community. How I can write about it that's less 'woe is me' and more about learning how to fight it and educate others?
What is depression? For me, depression is having just about everything and still wanting to throw it all away. It is the lowest of all places, the lowest of the low.
It's a sense of distance when in a conversation with someone. A feeling of not being in the room. An empty feeling. A Feeling of nothingness. A mind that races. A sense of dread for no apparent reason. It's physical, too. The feeling of having the weight of the world on your shoulders physically weighing you down. It's a swift kick to the balls. It's dread. It's all of that, all at the same time. Switching back and forth. Depression is hard to keep track of!
It will tell you're not good enough. It will take everything that makes you think otherwise and make it disappear. It will make you feel like it's not worth asking for help. That little four letter word that is there only for those who deserve it. Each day it will begin again and you'll wake up thinking that today is the day that it isn't going to beat me and I'm stronger than this and If you can learn to do this, it's the most amazing feeling.
Why are so few of those seeking help men?
Depression is long misunderstood. It's different from the phrase 'I'm depressed' – the feeling you get when there are no more crisps left in the bag or your favourite television show is cancelled. The two feelings just don't compare! It is all of your emotions hitting you at once while feeling empty at the same time. It can, in some cases take over your life and others it can completely consume you.
So why are so many people afraid to seek help? And why are so few of those seeking help men? Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a world where this wasn't the case?
I wish that anybody going through mental health issues wouldn't be afraid of asking for help.
Depression is something that just doesn't 'go away'. Rather than let it consume you, you can learn to manage it. Taking the first step to getting some help can be the most frightening thing, but It shouldn't be. I wish that mental health had the same level of respect as physical health. I wish talking about it wasn't such a big deal.
The next time you engage in conversation with someone, take an extra moment to be mindful of the words you choose. They too may be weathering a storm too.
