Fox's Gretchen Carlson Mangles Tax Policy
Blog ››› ››› KEVIN ZIEBER
Fox's Gretchen Carlson mangled the facts on tax policy to suggest it would be reasonable for people to reduce their incomes in response to a tax rate increase for the wealthiest Americans. In fact, if tax rates increase on the wealthiest Americans, it would make no sense for them to decrease their income in response.
President Obama has proposed extending the Bush tax cuts for most tax cuts but letting them expire for taxpayers earning more than $250,000.
On Fox & Friends, Carlson read an email from a viewer with a medical practice who responded to Obama's plan by saying: "If my taxes go over 35%, I will decrease the number of patients I see daily to reduce my income, which means my staff will also reduce their income." Carlson responded to the email by claiming: "That is the reality that a lot of physicians and small business owners are going to be facing."
In fact, if tax rates increased for individuals making over $250,000, it would still benefit people if they earned more than $250,000. Only the income individuals earn over $250,000 would be taxed at a higher rate. All of their income below $250,000 would still be taxed at the same rate it is now. As Slate's Matt Yglesias explained in July:
The way U.S. income tax brackets work is that taxes are levied on marginal income. In other words, the rate applied to income earned over the $250,000 threshold is irrelevant to the first $250,000 worth of taxable income. If you have $250,010 of taxable earnings then only that last $10 is taxed at the higher rate. In all cases, higher pre-tax earnings lead to higher after-tax income.
New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan recently responded to the Times' own failure to explain how Obama's tax proposal would work. Like Fox, the Times had uncritically quoted a medical professional saying that she would decrease her income in response to any tax rate increase. Sullivan pointed out that the person the Times quoted "appeared to believe that if the income went over 'the cutoff line,' that all of their income would be taxed at a higher rate. That's not the case. Only the amount over the limit is taxed at the higher rate."
Sullivan also reported that the Times' business editor concluded the paper "should do a better job of making clear how marginal tax rates work."

Got my 2.2 lb Brokeback Ol' Cowboy today:
1 oversized and punched in box. (recycle)
9 bags of Texas Hot Air (make into a pillow)
2 8-packs of Colgate cinnamint Wisps (use)
1 5-Speaker Mounting Kit (use or give away)
1 Strawberry Tote Bag (give away)
1 Flying Monkey Keychain (torment other people's cats)
Thanks, Woot!
Delivery date has been changed from Wednesday to Friday. Tracking shows that it took 72 hours for my package to get from New Berlin Wisconsin to Belleville Michigan.
And here I thought no one could beat the US Postal Service in unreliability.
I was really hoping my Big Orphaned Cetacea would have gotten here today because we are driving out of state early tomorrow morning and our mailman doesn't mosey by til about 3:30pm and I just don't think I can stall my husband long enough to keep it from sitting in the leasing office for two weeks unopened. i wonder if I can intercept it at the post office before it goes in the uspsmobile?
Just got mine. 6.9 lbs 13.2 cubed.
1 pink laptop cooler
1 set pet zooms
1 strawberry shopping tote
1 ECO canteen
1 SMC wireless adapter
1 Rabbit wine aerating pourer

Definitely had a feminine trend to it!

1 - Facial Spa regenerating tonic
1- set of Beauticontrol Makeup brushes (5) in quilted brush holder bag
1 - Knight Flight Batman
1 - Heatshift Laptop Cooler

first things were the standard:
Flying Batman
Cooling Pad

PetZoom Brushes
so I won't bother w/ individual pics of those. I'm kind of glad I stayed off the forums this go around. I <3 Batman and get all kinds of lil doo-dads and Batman things so I was very very excited when I saw this. I may have been less excited had I already anticipated getting it (though still excited ). Cooling Pad may be too small for my personal laptop, but may be good to toss into my work bag and the brushes will get good use on the kitties & the bag works in well with my county's new bag tax
In addition to that I also got
2 Table Top Tripods (
as seen in 4/1 BOCs)
and something wrapped in bubble wrap....
when opened revealed to be....
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3
The camera appears to be in working order with all accessories/cables etc I just bought a (from what I read) "better" camera back in March, but it's nice to have an extra on hand for when I don't need the oomph of my Nikon
Definitely an "A" haul in my opinion!
The National Geographic videos had me a little jealous, but your box has me really trying to remember not to covet others crap. I've been researching cameras for a while now, almost bought that one. (Then almost bought the step up someone posted on another site but it was sold out before I could get to it).
5 lbs.
1 - Heatshift Laptop cooler
1 - Knight Flight Batman
1 - Pet Zoom brushes
1 - Strawberry bag
Love the batman, using the laptop pad now, and Zoom brushes will be perfect for our long-hair-brown-eyed-black-dragon.
Purse-friendly shopping bag is going to be a gift for one of my school bus-stop moms. (The crunchy one.)
Nothing craptastically fun or wootaliciously clever, but a very good woot overall.
Thanks, upside down backwards moofi!
The Bag O' Crap has arrived!!!
1 Bandai Knight Flight Batman helicopter
1 Thermaltake iXoft Notebook cooling pad

1 set of PetZoom brushes (my cats are happy)
1 Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Slumberbag

Very nice! My cats also thank you for sending a box big enough for both of them to play in.
Edit: weighed 8.3 pounds, big box, didn't measure it :p
My delivery date is Wednesday but my package arrived at my local post office this morning.
2 days early!
6.4lbs containing the standards...
1 Knight Flight Batman
1 Strawberry Bag
1 set of PetZoom brushes (my cats are undecided)
1 Silver Heatshift Laptop Cooler (15 screen size)
& the semi-unique item, a Pandigital photo scanner.
I actually bought one of these once from Radio Shack after seeing it on woot, and ended up returning it because it took very poor scans. Hoping for a better experience this time.
All in all, one of my better Big o' Cosmos's Thanks as always woot gods!
Looks like we got the default + 1 item this time.
5.2 pounds, 24x12x12 box
No texas air (but everything survived)
strawberry tote (gift)
Knight Flight Batman (gift)
Laptop cooling mat (in use)
Pet Zoom brush set (I already had one from Woot so this is a gift)
Eco canteen (I may see if this will attach to my MOLLE-capable GHB).
Thanks Woot! I miss my Texas Air though... it really helps invigorate this place, trapped as we are in the corrupt, flabby, soulless, limp atmosphere of ill-annoy.
And next time both my wife and I will land more crap!
Oh Noes!!! I just checked my SmartPost link to see where my Big o' Cosmos was and it says it was damaged in delivery and to contact the sender for details!
Oh please Dear Woot Gods tell me it was not a box of respiffed Kindles?
Mine came a day early!
1x Knight Flight Batman
1x Heatshift Laptop Cooler
3x Pet Zoom brush
1x Strawberry Bag
1x Terraillon Pressio W Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
The wrist blood pressure monitor is pretty nifty, the batman will make a good gift, pet brushes are great for my dog who sheds like mad, laptop cooler could be useful, and the strawberry bag has already been taken by a friend.
All in all a great Big o' Cosmos! Thanks Woot!

Did you see Stumpy91's post? he mentions needing to shave down part of the battery compartment to get better contact.
try this fix posted by Stumpy91 a couple pages back:
Stumpy91 wrote:
Initially the controller wouldn't work and would not charge Batman. This was a common problem when the item sold on Woot previously. The problem is in the battery compartment of the controller. There are 2 molded plastic ridges on either side of the contact for the positive (+) side of each battery. The ridges are so high they don't allow the battery to make good contact. I shaved mine down with a small wood chisel. Something like an X-acto knife may work. Batman works fine and has not broken yet. ;^).
There is some useful advice on fixing batman in earlier posts. something about the battery not making contact...

My carp list, exactly! Missed out on the bags of Texas air this time. Oh, and my laptop pad was white. The targeting screwdriver drew some laughs at home since DH had recently confessed to spending mucho bucks replacing various drill bits and ratchety thingies since he never puts them back where they belong. Won't take him long to lose these either, I suspect! Thanks, Woot!
My arrived on Saturday but I didn't open it till today. I got the following:
Pink laptop cooling pad
Set of 3 "PetZooms" brushes
Strawberry expandable shopping tote
Batman helicopter
and finally a "DreamCheeky" USB light
Everything is brand new and in good shape, well worth $8 even though I don't plan to keep any of it. I think my little cousins will get some enjoyment out of the Batman helicopter and maybe the pet brushes for their dog!
Mine left Berlin Wisconsin on Friday and is floating out there somewhere. Still waiting on it to land at the next sorting facility.

Well, hi there!
Tracking through USPS, it just does show "arrival at post office" so I think it will actually get delivered tomorrow....unless it's a slow mail day, and our carrier is running late to start? One can hope.
*edit* Now sorting is complete, and it's out for delivery! Could be here at 1pm or 5pm....never know how the route's gonna go. Looking forward to it, whenever!

If you still have both pieces, you could try tape/glue and just use the same amount on both sides (to ensure balance)....
Still saying that it's due here (in Oregon) today. However the last, and only update, was that it's in transit from Hutchins, TX last Friday. Expecting the due date to change. But right now, any update would be a good update.
Got my 10.1# Big o' Cosmos yesterday.

It's been a while since I have submitted ( http://shirtwhat.com/archive_a.php?artist=sgreenip&derby=&rejected=0&removed=0&sort=V ),or even voted on any woots, but that will change. I hope the reasons for rejection change, too. They used to be witty and funny, but now it's mostly "We can't run this". Why can't you run it? It would be nice for us designers to know so we don't make the same mistakes in future derbies, or so we can alter the piece and re-submit. Also, it used to be very funny to read the reasons. I know some of them are totally obvious (religion, celeb likenesses, blood and guts), but sometimes it's not. Bring back the funny!
Re: The Sword from the Inkwell
Well done, my friend. I am particularly impressed with the fact that you weren't rejected for use of photos, which indicates to me that the inkwell is hand done. Again, well done. Keep up the good work and you will win. If not here, than in another derby for sure.

It strikes me as odd that US Conservatives are looking to the great socialist north for their inspiration on conservatism... Just saying. Makes me question what Canada's stake is? I have seen more Canadian input on this election than any election in the past. Actually... I haven't ever seen Canadian input in any prior US election. Their disenfranchised Conservatives should move down here and join the Republican movement... Heck they might lead the party in the direction of winning again.
she won't watch it because she only uses WPR as a source of info. it's balanced.i gave her links with the socialists describing how they were working within the dem party to achieve their goals, but my links were were "partisan". i suppose that's true. a socialist site would be kind of partisan i guess.
Not what I said at all. I just prefer news sources that at least attempt both sides of the story.
I read it. I still haven't heard anyone give a specific example of communist behavior from our govt officials. What new programs do we have that speak of communism? How can you even suggest communism when there is a wealth gap like we currently have? The very premise of communism is equal pay for everyone, and we have (I believe) the largest gap between haves and have nots this nation has ever seen. Just not seeing it.

Collins, Director of Mathematics Programs at Lesley, wins 2013 Nadine Bezuk Excellence in Leadership and Service in Mathematics Teacher Education Award
Friday, May 31, 2013
The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) honored Collins with the 2013 Nadine Bezuk Excellence in Leadership and Service in Mathematics Teacher Education Award for her significant contributions to the mathematics education field and professional organizations.
As director of the Lesley's Center for Mathematics Achievement, Collins' professional development programs in underperforming urban districts have directly improved student achievement on state assessments, and she has received over $8 million in grant funding to support these research-based initiatives, influencing the teaching of mathematics in many communities.
"My whole forte is how to unpack mathematics in a way that makes it easy for students to understand and relate the concepts they're learning in math to other areas of their life," said Collins.
Through Lesley's Center for Mathematics Achievement, Collins reaches out to school districts across Massachusetts to provide professional development to teachers, and to offer grant-funded master's degrees for K-8 teachers.
In Springfield, for example, the program has already graduated 44 teachers with a master's degree in math education, and 12 have earned initial licensure. And evidence to support the program continues to grow.
"In Revere, we first started out eight years ago. After three years, the city noticed MCAS scores for students who had teachers in our programs were outperforming their counterparts on the state MCAS," said Collins. "So since then, Revere has brought us back every year to work with new teachers or those who don't have licensure."
An inductee into the Massachusetts Mathematics Educators Hall of Fame, Collins believes teachers who truly understand and embrace mathematical concepts will translate that understanding and excitement to their students.
"Most of teachers we work with learn math through wrote memorizations of algorithms without an understanding of how they're applied," said Collins. "We unpack those algorithms so teachers understand where they came from. Our work focuses on developing concrete and pictorial representations of ideas in math, and we work through them through investigations so teachers have that 'Aha moment.'"
The AMTE's Excellence in Leadership Award also hails Collins' contributions to the mathematics education field and professional organizations. A founding member of the board of the Massachusetts Mathematics Association of Teacher Educators, Collins has served as past president of state and regional mathematics teacher associations and on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Board of Directors.
Through her work with professional organizations, Collins presents on a host of strategies for teachers to teach difficult concepts with understanding.
She presented at the Algebra Readiness Institute in Atlanta last summer, and spoke at the annual National Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference in Denver. She spent 10 days in Seoul, Korea last summer at the International Congress on Mathematical Education, working on formative assessment, which was a "wonderful experience," she said.
Collins began her career as an elementary school teacher, and then took a break to raise her children. She later went back to college and got her math degree, teaching high school and middle school math for 15 years before going on to become math coordinator for the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. She then worked at Boston College funded by grants from the Raytheon Company and the Noyce Foundation to provide professional development for teachers implementing the Connected Math project, and she has worked at Lesley for the past eight years.
"I've had tremendous support from my colleagues at Lesley," said Collins. "We've got an amazing math department, and with their support, I've been able to do all of this."
Collins believes one of the key tenets of Lesley's success is the work on the ground in schools, collaborating hand-in-hand with teachers.
"We are definitely at the cutting edge," Collins asserted. "What sets us apart from everyone else, in addition to the way we teach math to undergraduates and graduates, is our work in the districts. And during the time we're not meeting with teachers, they have homework to do and we support them through our online environment at Lesley, which is really powerful."
Collins, who lives in Hanover, holds a Ph.D. from Boston College; a C.A.G.S. from Harvard University; an M.A. from Cambridge College; a B.A. from Westfield State University; and a B.S. Framingham State University.

Don't do anything until you get the thyroid levels balanced and he starts recovering. Many dogs do not respond well to the generic thyroid meds, so I would start with a name brand to make sure that it is working. Give the thryoid supplements twice a day, and away from food.
If you send to Dodds' for testing, it's much cheaper if you mail it in yourself.
With a thyroid that low, I would not expect your thryoid meds to be causing that significant of a drop by itself.
I personally believe that anti-fungals mess with the thryoid more, but there's not a lot of literature to back that up.
|You could also try adding coconut oil to his food (virgin unrefined cold-pressed). It really seems to help. My dog has grown thick beautiful fur.

To preface, the vet said result was 0.2 in her message but when I talked to another one today, she referenced it as being 0.5. I don't know what happened there but it's still really low.
Try to keep in mind that I am just going by what his vet has told me and the little I've been able to find about it online. Like I said, I am ignorant in this area. I am trying my best to gather all info possible and not just act out of fear or whatever, but also have serious health problems of my own and that dictates everything. I am not going to be as knowledgeable or involved as some of you here seem to be. It's not possible, so please do not preach at me or expect me to know a lot about this. I am still learning. And to note, Dallas was part of this family prior to my own dx. Not that it's anyone's business but I've had some 'jump' at the chance to label me irresponsible for taking on this responsibility on top of ailing myself. That was not the case.
Thank you for the therapeutic info. I will take a look at it. Incidentally, the tech sent me home with a cat collar rather than one for a dog, which I didn't notice until getting home. Since I also have a somewhat neurotic cat, I just put it on her and will look for something more suitable for Dallas.
1. We are aware of the secondary yeast infection and continue treating it with round two of the original meds prescribed, excluding the antibiotic and adding ointment for his ears this time around. Maybe that wasn't clear in my previous post.
2. We are not in a 'rush' to neuter but when speaking with the vet, she did support the idea to do it sooner rather than later because of his age. She said it will be harder post-op because we've waited so long already. She told me to expect to have him crated and leashed for a little while post-op, and that hematoma is possible. I need to focus on keeping him down and healing, which will be hard. We had discussed this issue prior to any testing and it has been a major concern of mine for some time. Because of all the testing and multiple visits, it's likely the actual surgery won't happen for another month anyway, just to be able to afford it, not to mention the actual scheduling time. It's not like I'm going to call and get him in the very next day...
3. The underweight issue is something I asked about and vet told me it's because he's still intact but following the neuter, we will have the opposite problem and really need to monitor his diet and increase exercise. She said the majority of canine thyroid problems are hypo and that hyper is super rare, particularly in males. Also, Dallas has other symptoms consistent with the illness that I haven't mentioned. The weight issue is one of many and from what I understand, shouldn't be a sole basis for suspicion either way.
4. We are also considering the allergy testing at some point. Because it's so expensive, it will have to wait but eventually I want to know for sure. I spoke to a tech today, who suggested I switch to a base-diet of lamb/rice or venison/rice, which isn't something he'd be exposed to in other common food brands. I went with the lamb/rice to start. She also said absolutely NO corn meal and limited oats, which I will follow. We're doing this as a process of elimination deal, which seems to be the only way to know what the allergy is, at least until we can get that test done.
5. His coat, skin, nails, etc. are already a wreck. When the itching was really bad I shaved the bottom of his back to his tail to get ointment/some kind of relief for him on there easier. That has been over six months ago and it still hasn't grown all the way back in. He flakes also, which has been happening for a long time and assumed (until the pigmentation turned black) to be dandruff. Now I'm reading about more of his symptoms possibly being Seborrhea.
6. The vet suggested 2 weeks for follow-up labs. She also mentioned the possibility of a false result but given his other symptoms, believes we're on the right path. He was not on any meds during the latest tests. I don't know which T4 was performed.
|Temaril p will make thyroid levels artificially low (due to the steroid in it), was he on that when tested?? Or had he been on it recently when blood was drawn? Free t4 or t4? I would be doing some more investigating especially since 3 is young to have this issue and your dog is underweight which is the opposite of what low thyroid causes.
As a human that is hypo thyroid, I can tell you that having low thyroid levels will wreck havoc with hair, skin, nails and the digestive system, the reproductive system, etc. It takes a minimum of 30 days of supplementation for levels to normalize. Until the correct replacement hormone levels are found (trial and error). Repeat testing is usually done at 30 day and then every 3 months until a good maintenance dosage is found. Again, that is how it is done in humans. I don't see that process would be much different for dogs.
I wouldn't rush into any surgeries until you boy is at his best. You likely will find once the thyroid issues are resolved many of the skin issues will be resolved as well.
Best of luck.

If they've improved, they'll prescribe his life-long dose in bulk, which will be significantly less expensive for me! They also said it's very possible that my stress level over my own illness is being mirrored in Dallas, contributing to the severity of his, and suggested I get DAP (dog appeasing pheromones) spray or plug-in for his favorite rooms. So, off I go... Thank god!
What? Why the rush? Thyroid needs to come into balance and meds need to be adjusted.
3yrs old is fairly young age to be hypo. underweight is not usually a symptom, overweight - yes....there is more going on in this dog then a simple thyroid med will fix (IMO).
Do NOT neuter at this time.

|my boy diesel
btw it is possible for your dog to be battling a yeast infection although secondary to low thyroid
you should treat for it as well as starting the thyroid meds which will gradually improve his quality of life

I would have liked to added the reference into his record, never mind I am very happy to have the new time period to work with and I'm glad that Ancestry seem to be able to read my mind……. now what else shall I think I might like them to put online !!

|Thank you Ms. Davis for the video I'll take a look asap.
|A girl and her dog
Thanks a lot for the help! I got plain yogurt, but will get some pumpkin too. Since both my Chi and Nonny (my GSmix) have the same stool issue/consistency, I'm highly suspicious of the turkey necks, possibly the boneless chicken although not as likely, OR the mixture of moist kibble for training mixed with raw.
Nonetheless, they're fasting until tomorrow. Plenty of water though if they want. Still no vomiting and since the Parvo vac'd Chi has the same symptoms, I'm leaning away from Parvo but with much caution. It's such a devastating disease; I can't rule it out in my mind.
This is a good video
I always feed rice and cooked ground meat (it mixes better with the rice for my picky one). I also add a scoop of pure pumpkin. Once the poop is better, I slowly switch back to raw.

Thanks! What would you give for a bland diet, raw-rise? Or would you switch back to a kibble?
I'll look into giardia and colitis as well.
It could either be giardia or a colitis. Either way, if this were my dog I would switch to a bland diet and take a fecal to the vet (especially due to the age). I would also be looking for a different vet who won't focus on raw as a reason for everything. I ended up switching vets not long after we started feeding raw for that reason.

Mucussy, fairly frequent BM's
Hi all! I'm hoping for a few perspectives and suggestions.
My pup is appx 8-10 weeks. I've had him on raw, with the exception of some moist stuff from the fridge section at the store, since I brought him home from the shelter two weeks ago. The last day and a half he's been exclusively raw as the moist kibble is for training only. I usually do that daily and it replaces one meal. I haven't been able to for a couple of days.
Yesterday, he had a boneless chicken thigh and a portion of a turkey neck, but didn't finish the bone before my Chi gobbled it up.
He's had loose stools since yesterday and his gas smells a little fishy.. I believe it is from the lack of bone. Today I made sure he ate the bones too. I don't think he's lethargic but I do think he's resting more than usual. No vomit.... wet nose.... no fever.
Obviously, I'm concerned about Parvo; however, after the lashing that other person got, I was reluctant to post about this. He is almost due for his second round of vacs. He's not showing strong enough symptoms for me to rush him to the vet, but I am keeping a close eye on him. He's eating and drinking fine too.
Honestly, I really don't want to hear any cr*p from the vet about the raw diet. I'm afraid they'll focus on that and not take a really good look at him. Don't worry- he WILL get treatment, whatever he needs, if he needs it.
My plan for now is to watch him over the next (up to) 24hrs and see if there's improvement or decline with new symptoms. I have an E-vet near by if I need to go in the middle of the night and our vet is open till 7pm and are walk-in friendly.
So, raw feeders: are the stools due to lack of bone? Is it the turkey meat that's causing the smell? What's your experience.

By Chris Harris
Theo Walcott does not regret admitting that he took a dive against Leeds United.
The Arsenal forward tumbled in the box towards the end of the FA Cup Third-Round tie at Emirates Stadium nine days ago - moments before he won a legitimate penalty - and confessed to reporters afterwards that he had gone down dishonestly.
Walcott was involved in another penalty incident at the weekend when Wayne Bridge clearly swept his legs away and Robin van Persie wrapped up a 3-0 victory from the spot at Upton Park. It rekindled memories of Walcott's Leeds episode but the player is pleased he came clean.
"I've got no regrets about what I said," said Walcott, who scored the second goal in Arsenal's win over West Ham.
"I'm an honest player, I want to be honest with my team-mates, Leeds and the manager and all the staff. That's the sort of player that I am. If I'm going to be punished for being honest then I can't win.
"It's in the past, I've forgotten about it now and I just want to carry on enjoying playing my football now. With decisions like that, it makes it easier for me."
Some feel Walcott may have done himself few favours by admitting he took a dive because referees may treat him more suspiciously as a result. But the 21-year-old disagrees.
"No [there is no stigma], not at all," he said. "People say that if you get the slightest touch you should go down and when you do go down they have a go at you for going down so you can't win.
"I'm not bothered, I'm just enjoying playing football for this team and that's all I can do. If the referee's going to punish me or any other players then I can't do anything about that. That's just the way I am."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Whats Wrong with My German Shepherd
First off this is my first post but I'm not having any luck it seems with my vet or looking online. I have a female german shepherd who will be 2 here in a few months. Shes been in great health till this last December. In December we started noticing a patch of hair started thinning out to almost nothing in a couple weeks, the rest of her coat was fine. We took her to our vet, he said it seemed like anxiety where she was biting at it herself and causing the hair loss. Vet said it was a little inflamed and had little bumps, he gave her a shot and prescribed an antibiotic to take. We started her on the medicine and then sent her to a 3 week obedience course where they continued it. When I picked her up most of the spot had cleared up and hair regrew and she looked really good. After being home a week the spot started getting worse again and this time it had spread to another spot on her opposite side, the back of her thighs, base of her tail and real bad on her ears. Again took her to the vet and again another shot and same medicine. He says its allergies and dry skin. Shes always been on the same food with no problems, we give her oatmeal shampoo bathes and nothing seems to help. Shes been on the medicine for a week now with no changes. She still eats fine, no change in weight or behavior, shes still very active, the spots don't seem to bother her besides occasion scratching. They are not red but white. Any ideas please???
Just to add we live in ohio in a 100 year old home with a gas furnace. It is very dry in our house if that makes a difference. Thanks
Maybe ask them at the obedience school, what they suggest. Is it a lot cooler there? Maybe you could try a humidifier at your house. Maybe there is something in your house she is allergic to. Maybe get a second opinion from a different Vet. "just threw a few things out for you to ponder"
Given the location it could very well be a flea allergy. Clearly being on her ears it isn't anxiety chewing.
Hi, I'm not really qualified to make a guess, but would it be possible to get a second opinion from another vet? Did you actually see her chewing at herself? And, I wonder if she was fed different food when she was at the training? If so and it cleared up when she was eating something different, maybe it's food allergy related. Even if she's always been fine with her food, the manufacturer can change something and cause a problem for your dog. If she was eating the same food, is it possible some cleaning product in your house is causing irritation? There are so many things that could end up with skin/fur problems, it seems like the vet could do some more investigating before just giving antibiotics. (Sorry, throwing antibiotics at a problem without knowing the cause is my PET PEEVE!:rolleyes:) Good luck, hope you find a solution

My vet is an allergy specialist I have the puppy on coconut oil plant enzymes and something that is called; mineral clay. My vet indicated today that carrots can be a problem. I won't going to specifics but it creates estrogen in the adrenal glands. If it was me go to the health food store and get some virgin coconut oil give a half a teaspoon per meal or a teaspoon a day start the dog on plant enzymes as quickly as possible and then slowly add the mineral clay if that doesn't help in a month then you need to consult an allergy specialist vet. The dust in the attic and in the ventilation system being the hundred years old with asbestos dust dirt mice droppings etc. is an absolute nightmare
Another vote here for coconut oil! Feeding it and rubbing on the skin. Can't hurt, my guy had itchy problems for years and annual shots. No reason found??
The first year was the worst! He's a black dog, grey skin and his skin turned bright red!!! No cause found?? That never happened again but persistent yearly itching and an annual shot in Sept for 6 years???
I started doing the Coconut thing and it does seem to help (vet did prescribe fish oil but it seemed to make no difference) he is doing much much better with the Coconut oil, if we make it through Sept..I'll be sold!
is it look like this?

I took some pictures, nothing has changed with the medicine the vet gave. Hope the weather brakes so we can open some windows and air out the house
I don't know where you are, but I would call around and find a vet that specializes in dermatology. Or if you are in a large city, you might consider contacting a local vet teaching hospital and ask them for referrals to a dermatology specialist in your area.
Is the first picture her ear? If she scratching as well, keep her toenails trimmed, won't solve your problem, but may limit the damage.

Financial Aid at NMU
The Financial Aid Office assists students and families in locating financial resources to offset the costs of attending college. Financial aid is intended to provide access to higher education by bridging the gap between a family's ability to pay and the total costs of education. The university administers numerous programs to assist students, some of which are awarded solely on the basis of academic achievement. However, many of the federal financial aid programs require the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form (see the general eligibility requirements).
The basic principal of need-based financial aid is that the family is expected to contribute as much as is reasonably possible for an education. The expected family contribution (EFC) is determined from the information a student and the student's family provide on the FAFSA. The financial need is calculated by subtracting the expected family contribution from the total cost of a student's education. NMU is prepared to assist students in meeting financial need by awarding grants, scholarships, employment or low-interest loans.
Basically, there are three types of financial aid: (1) a scholarship or grant which is considered gift aid and does not have to be repaid; (2) a loan, which must be repaid; and (3) work study. Federal, state and university funds are used for financial aid; students' awards often combine the above types and sources of aid.
Information on specific scholarships, grants and loan programs may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office or the Financial Aid Web pages.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott are not the same type of player, according to Arsène Wenger.
Arsenal's summer signing has been likened to the England star ever since he moved to Emirates Stadium and it's easy to see why. Both swapped Southampton for Arsenal as teenagers, both have electric pace and both are making waves at international level.
But although Wenger can see the comparisons off the pitch, he insists that Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott operate very differently on it.
"They are quite similar types of players but Walcott is a bit more a striker and Oxlade-Chamberlain is more a midfielder," Wenger told Arsenal.com.
"He [Oxlade-Chamberlain] likes more to be in the build-up of things and Walcott is more a guy who makes intelligent runs.
"So they are not that similar as players but they have some similarities physically already. They look the same size, the same type of player.
"But I believe that Oxlade-Chamberlain could be a central midfielder one day and Walcott a central striker one day. That shows the difference between the two players.
"I don't know [if the comparisons are fair] but you can't stop that."

Being a sports fan from Kansas, I've been reading Jason Whitlock's self-important, "edgy" (read: attention-seeking), poorly researched diatribes for a while. Sometimes, he's absolving white folks for racism. Usually, he's just plain wrong. But whatever it is, he rarely has a coherent point to make about sports.
When I'm visiting Kansas or surfing the Kansas City Star, I usually just turn the page to look for the far superior Joe Posnanski (who, full disclosure, I know slightly). But when he invades the "feminism" tab of my Google Reader, I can't restrain myself from commenting.
Recently, Whitlock has taken Wimbledon champ Serena Williams - let me emphasize the Wimbledon champion part of that - for being out of shape. He claims that she is letting women's tennis down by not living up to her full potential:
Serena Williams has all the ingredients to be Michael Jordan, Jim Brown and Muhammad Ali rolled into one made-for-TV package. She is quite possibly the most gifted female athlete in our lifetime.
Unfortunately for us, she lacks the courage to fulfill her destiny.
She'd rather eat, half-ass her way through non-major tournaments and complain she's not getting the respect her 11-major-championships résumé demands.
She complains about being ranked No. 2 in the world when she's not bitching on Twitter or her blog about new rules that forbid Wimbledon players from eating in the locker room.
Seriously, how else can Serena fill out her size 16 shorts without grazing at her stall between matches?
Oh, but let's not miss the true focus of his blowhardery. More important than her failure to live up to her tennis potential is her failure to live up to her sexy potential:
What's that, you say? These are professional athletes whose main purpose in their bodies is not attracting sexual attention? That Serena should be respected for her considerable athletic achievements and not her apparently overfat backside:
And when she's in shape, she's every bit as sexy as Beyonce.First of all: just because it happens to men, doesn't make it right. And while you can come up with anecdotal evidence to support "men are oppressed too!" whining, there are plenty of highly praised male sports stars not known for their looks: Randy Johnson. Willie McGee. Leon Spinks.
I know, sex appeal isn't supposed to matter in sports. That's such a load of (spit). Television sells sex appeal in men's sports, too. You think being tall, dark and handsome didn't significantly enhance Jordan's appeal? You think Joe Namath, Joe Montana and Tom Brady haven't been sold as sex symbols?
God gave Serena everything, including drop-dead looks....She's chosen to smother some of it in an unsightly layer of thick, muscled blubber, a byproduct of her unwillingness to commit to a training regimen and diet that would have her at the top of her game year-round...GOD FORBID WOMEN REACH 175 POUNDS. Here's a clue, Whitlock: If the woman is winning international championships at 175 lbs, maybe she PERFORMS BEST at 175 lbs.
Think about it. At 5-foot-9, 145 pounds, Serena would be unstoppable on the court, on the cover of every magazine still in circulation and downloaded on the Internet three times more often than Anna Kournikova.
Instead, Serena is arguably pushing 175 pounds, content playing hard only in the major tournaments, happy to be photographed on dates with pro athletes and proud to serve as a role model for women with oversized back packs.
But, you know, he's just an unpopular truth teller, and there's no need to "scream sexism":
BBWs — Big Booty Women — do not write me angry e-mails. I'm only knocking Serena's back pack because it's preventing her from reaching her full potential as an athletic icon. I am not fundamentally opposed to junk in the trunk, although my preference is a stuffed onion over an oozing pumpkin.Um, ew.
(A stuffed onion is a booty so round and tight that it brings tears to your eyes).
Bottom line: Jason Whitlock needs to stop policing the body of one of the best athletes in the world. She clearly knows what her body needs to perform at its peak.

Spring Water (Aqua)
Water can dissolve the mineral content in the rocks it flows over. Rain and melted snow filter through soil and permeable rock until they are stopped by an impervious rock such as granite.
Water percolates through rock strata, collecting different minerals. Limestone enriches water with calcium; water from the dolomites is rich in magnesium; and volcanic rocks are rich in sodium. Mineral waters emerge as pure springs. These processes create spring water.
History suggests water has been extracted from chalk below the ground since Roman times.
Though water is important in cosmetics, we are experts at making products that do not contain water, such as our solid shampoos and bubble bars. Our Fresh Face Masks control water content, establishing microbiological quality.
Water is an essential for every living system. Today, medical professionals everywhere tout the importance of water. Drinking water helps to flush out toxins in the body and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Spring water contains vital minerals. Minerals maintain the water balance essential for healthy life processes. They do this by drawing chemical substances in and out of cells. Minerals balance the pH levels of the blood, balance the nervous system and neutralize wastes. By using spring water in our products we are allowing all these miraculous properties to benefit the skin.
We use spring water in our Breath Of Fresh Air facial toner water, where its refreshing quality enlivens the senses and brings necessary minerals directly to the skin. The combined qualities of both the mineral content of the spring water and essential oils make our skin toners really effective and beneficial to the skin.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have no interest in lugging the gas powered washer down the dock and onto my little 25 foot boat. In addition to being a pain, one good wake and it could end up in the water. I might have been curious in my initial inquiry a year ago, but no longer. It just so much simpler to squirt some Starbrite Nonskid cleaner and brush a few strokes.
My only intended marine use of this thing is for getting the slime off at haulout.
|I tried a 1300 psi electric washer from Lowes on my topsides. I won't use it for that application again. We have lots of problems with spider and bird droppings and I thought this would be a easy and quick way to deal with the problem. To use enough pressure to get the spider droppings, I had to hold the spray close to the fiberglass., and didn't get much coverage area, so the process was slow. I am concerned at what the pressure will do over time to seals and beading materials. But what convenced me to go another way was damage to lines. There are lots of lines on a sailboat and if you aren't very careful, you will hit them with the high pressure. I ruined my furler line (had to replace it at a cost more than the pressure sprayer) and fuzzed my mainsheet in a couple of places. I've found something at Dollar General called Totally Awesome. It dissolves the spider droppings and most other embedded dirt with a normal washing. It's cheap, so that's the way I will go. Of course, each decides for himself and some like the pressue washer.
I just found this thread...
You asked for advice, so here you go;
I have a CHEAP electric from Home Depot. 1300 PSI, and it works for me.
I use it to with the fan tip to clean the natural teak during the season. I also use it at home to clean my natural teak patio set, and have done so for the last 4 years. Contrary to what you will read here and elsewhere, it works great at cleaning teak! I believe that the relatively low pressure is key to not damaging the wood.
Looks like this:
(Actually the URL where I found this image has a great discussion on pressure washers. Look here.)
You need to clean the bottom of your vessel, and I don't think that my dinky little washer is up to that task. However, for quickly washing the cockpit, and the deck, the teak, and clearing the cockpit drains, this thing is the bomb.
I'm by no means an expert, but I have used the borrowed one several times so I've developed a bit of a technique. I always use the fan, and start at a good distance away where it's not effective. Then I gradually get closer until the muck is coming off without damaging what's underneath. With the borrowed one (which I think was about 2500psi/2.3 GPM) I had to get close enough that the fan was 2-3" wide. My hope in getting a more powerful unit is that I can back off enough for a wider fan to be effective. Wouldn't it be nice to knock off a 4-6" wide swath at a time? Wishful thinking, though.
Last fall was my first haulout, so my first chance to enjoy the pleasure of getting under the boat to wash it. There were a couple of times where I fumbled with the wand and it almost touched the bottom, but there was NO DAMAGE! Man, that WM Bottomshield paint must have been tough stuff! With 3000 psi I need to be even more careful because that might cause more damage. This time around I have Pettit Vivid, which is a slightly softer hybrid paint, so hopefully the slime will come off a little easier. We'll see.
I've used both heavy, industrial gas washers and cheap electric Karchers and everything in between and for working on my own boat I'd go with a cheap electric. It's easier to hump to the boatyard and doesn't run out of gas in the middle of the job. The job IS longer though but they do just as good a job when it's done. They are cheap and last for several years - you can easily go through 3 or 4 before you match the cost of a bottom end gas unit. I've acquired both of mine with Air Miles so they were free.
Be very careful of anything soft like the bellows on outdrives (don't ask!) or around speedo paddles etc. Use the rotary nozzle on the bottom but NEVER take it on deck or use it on the topsides - they are extremely intense and I'm sure you can do a lot of damage very quickly if they get too close to the surface.
Stick to the fan nozzles for those surfaces. I agree about teak but if it's going to need sanding anyway, go ahead - you'll be amazed at how much salt comes out of unfinished teak! It was like I was swimming in the ocean the whole time.
Finally, my washer is just about my "most used" power tool - way beyond even a hand drill - cars, driveways, sidewalks, boats, cedar shingles, house siding, etc. etc.
|I have always avoided using a pressure washer topsides out of worry that it could damage the bedding compound around the hardware. It is pretty soft stuff and even a brief accidental blast could results in leaks. Since most of the crud seems to accumalte around the hardware, toe rail etc. I just use a brush and soap.
|Completely ignoring the advice here to go bigger, I went out and got the smallest electric pressure washer I could find--just didn't want to invest over $100 in it. And I'm still thrilled. Used carefully, the washer gets grime out of the non-skid that even a brush doesn't get, and I'm not washing soap or detergent into the bay. And even the small one saves time and effort. Lazy? Absolutely. But I think, good lazy.
RhythmDoctor: It looks like a decent machine. 3000psi will be sufficient and it looks as if it's a 2.7 gpm flow, also good.
I wouldn't go less than a 25 degree tip, and a 30 or 40 would be a good place to start - and I'd stay away from the rotating tips, they are zero degree (or close to that) nozzles that rotate quickly to cover a larger area. However, even at that, it is still a very concentrated stream of 3,000psi water being directed rapidly over an area.
Distribute the pressure over a fan area with a 25 degree nozzle and then move in only as close as it takes to remove the crud ands not the paint or finish. Remember, getting too close only once will cause damage, be extra careful.
Work in smaller, controlled areas so you can follow where you have been, and work toward the dirty parts from clean parts, you want the water in front helping to wet the surface you are about to clean to soften the crud you want to remove. Every now and then you can back off and rinse the areas cleaned just to make sure you didn't miss a spot.
You'll find lots of uses for your pressure washer - car washes (great with a bent wand and a broad nozzle 60* or so, for cleaning under the car and removing road salt, etc.), cleaning concrete, etc. but if you want to clean wood be very careful, it gets soft and will scar easily, use a wider nozzle than you think you'll need and maintain caution and distance.
Good luck
Last fall (after starting this thread) I borrowed my friend's pressure washer for the haulout, and after using it I could not imagine not using one to clean the slime off the bottom. A fresh coat of bottom paint this spring has failed to stop the slime, so I'll need a pressure washer again for the bottom, as well as some projects around the house. I've borrowed one so many times that I figured it's time to get my own.
I followed the advice provided here to get the most powerful one that is practical to store and transport, so I picked this up on sale for $360 at Sears last Sunday:
I still have not had time to get it out of the box, but hoping it works reliably.
I have used a Karcher electric pressure washer that came with 2 different wands for the last couple of years to clean my topsides and canvas and it works quite well. I first got it when, as I was scraping bird dung off my canvas with my fingernail, I saw a guy in a neighboring slip easily doing the same task with a pressure washer which he recommended highly.
I like to use it in conjunction with West Marine boat soap. In fact, I'm going to use it tomorrow to do a cleanup.
I recently bought a kit with another wand, angle connectors and nozzle for use around the house.
I have not had any problems with the washer damaging anything on my topsides or canvas. I don't know how it would work for a bottom job. Since most of the boatyards in my area don't allow DIY bottom jobs, I will probably never know.
My $.02,

I keep on seeing people complaining about air circulation in their helmets.
BUT....... you know knights during the medieval ages? to get air in their helmets they would punch holes in the front of it, and it didn't turn out that bad!i'm thinking if your making a custom why not just punch a little holes in the front. If you want to use this idea fine i don't care. Just remember i thought of this .

Nice Job! Someday soon I will have My suit and I shall see if I'm any good when I break out My air brush... hope it looks as good as yours!
Thanks for the positive words guys!
wow the effect that airbrush makes is stunning. ive always wanted one of those, but never had the cash
Wow, great job. I gave up on trying to airbrush years ago...lol
lookin good bro! I have an airbrush also, and will be using on my FP armor once it arrives,its probably paid for itself 5 times over with all the things i use it for haha, great tool to have!
Great job, and nice setup you have there.
Thanks! Pretty happy with it. Still some more layers to do though and the seal it all in. But it's getting there.
Looks great dude.I love the shading effects you can do with those.I never learned how to use one.I am a strict topical painter unless I am painting metal.
The armor is looking really good. Much respect to your skills with the airbrush my friend.
Thanks guys!
I'm happy with it so far. Still going to do some more misting on it and finetune the scratches before I seal it all in there though. This was my second time painting with an airbrush, so I still have a long way to go before I can say I master the art of airbrushing to any great extent. But starting with the armor is great training for when my BM helmet arrives.
2nd attempt? holy cow man it looks awesome!
Well jeez, if that's your second attempt at it, you've already more than succeeded. I can't wait to see how this all turns out.
Very cool! What colors did you use?
Very sharp man! Good work!
that looks like a sweet air brush set up you got there.
That look so much better than spraypaint.
Hey great job.
Does any body has the PMS colors for the ESB armor?
Thanks guys!
All I have are the colors from Vallejo that I used.
very nice. i've never used an evolution brush... always good to learn about new things!

Consumer electronics and entertainment companies could finally be realising that 3D TVs have not been a huge draw for consumers so far.
Sony Computer Entertainment's UK MD Fergal Gara spoke to Eurogamer recently and, when asked specifically about 3D gaming's low profile this year, he admitted: "Consumers decide how relevant it is. It's fair to say consumers have decided it's not hugely important at this time. It's a capability we've got. It may have a bigger life a little further down the line. It's great we can do it. It doesn't seem to be the most powerful USP at the moment, so you've seen us shift our effort onto fresh new exciting IP [intellectual property]."
As to the reason's for public apathy with 3D entertainment in the living room, Gara said, "Whether you look at movies or games, wearing the glasses and consuming 3D in that way in the home isn't hugely popular. I also think there's a bit of a difference between the highly focused viewing and the more casual viewing. In the home people tune in and tune out a bit, and doing that with glasses on and glancing at your tablet or pausing for a bit, compared to the cinema experience, which is a solely focused experience, you know there is a difference emerging there."
Regarding the emerging glasses-free technology, Gara sits on the fence, adding, "How good will glasses-free 3D be? We haven't seen any killer technology land on the market yet that proves a must have, and I don't have a firm view on whether that will happen."
