As far as I could tell, OVA 1 takes place after episode 19, OVA 2 is after episode 35 and OVA 3 is probably best seen after episode 60. I was trying to figure these out a while back and my notes say that the third one takes place in the middle of episode 60.
I didn't watch the fourth OVA so I can't really comment on that.

I have watched all the OVAs and the TV series as well.
Those OVA are kinda like side stories and occurs in various points of the tv series.
Most of them are of the similar quality as the show.
(Slam dunk is one of the favorite show in my high school time)

Slam Dunk Question
I was just wonder what order do I watch the movies? Do I watch them after the series? Or maybe after certain episodes? I've looked all over and I can't seem to find anything. Any help will be greatly greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you for listen
Edit - what about the fourth movie?

I got in to it through the Anime-Empire releases (Thanks guys!). I started playing basketball shortly beforehand and decided to check out Slam Dunk. I'd known about it for years but it never really interested me until I started playing, even though I knew it was really popular. Boy was I glad I checked it out. Sequels and new series? I wouldn't hold my breath but we can live in hope.

Hmm. What's up with the license in USA for Slam Dunk now?
Toei released some horrible dvds, and the response was as the quality of these dvds; horrible.
So I wonder if Slam Dunk's a licensed series that won't get any quality releases :/? Or no more at all?..

From what I can tell from reading through the AoD forums is that Toei has pulled out of the Region 1 market altogether and both Slam Dunk and Air Master releases have long since ceased.
The video quality on the discs were pretty good but there were problems such as dubtitles and closed captioning, lack of chapter stops, omitted next episode previews, and after each episode finished it would take you back to the main menu (i.e. there was no "play all" option.)
These are all the problems I can remember off the top of my head but there may be more. I'll give it another year and if no one picks up the licence for SD I'll look for a HQ source and release a new subbed version.

BRISTOL — The Addison Northeast Supervisory Union (ANeSU) board and superintendent search committee are closing in on a new superintendent.
CORNWALL — Emery Tillman takes community service seriously — and not only in her backyard of Addison County. At the tender age of 17, Tillman has donated her time to environmental and humanitarian causes stretching from her hometown of Cornwall to Uganda, Africa.
Her efforts recently earned statewide recognition and will soon get national exposure, thanks to an award from Prudential Financial and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).

MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Central Supervisory union board will re-advertise the school district's superintendent vacancy in wake of an initial search that concluded on Thursday without producing an acceptable candidate.
Gail Conley, the ACSU's interim superintendent, said the position will now be re-advertised in conjunction with the soon-to-be-vacant associate superintendent position. Associate Superintendent Jan Willey has tendered her resignation effective at the end of the school year.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont State Police have primary responsibility for finding lost hikers and other missing people in all areas of the state that are not covered by municipal police departments.
VERGENNES — Vergennes American Legion Post 14 will host a Thursday evening forum for the half-dozen candidates seeking three seats on the city council in what is the most crowded race since 2007.
The forum, to be moderated by local insurance agent Michael Donnelly, will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Challengers William Benton, Renny Perry and Nelson Sears are seeking slots on the council now held by multi-term incumbent Aldermen David Austin, Lowell Bertrand and Clara "Ziggy" Comeau.
MIDDLEBURY — There's growing scientific evidence to suggest exercise is beneficial for both babies and new mothers. Studies show that a little bit of exercise can set infants on a healthy track for life, and it can help moms shed weight from pregnancy and prevent postpartum depression.
What's more is that most recommended fitness routines for infants and new mothers are relatively easy.
MIDDLEBURY — While Vermont's population continues to get grayer, Porter Hospital's Birthing Center is attracting a consistent, healthy flow of expectant parents — a clientele that is also coming from outside Addison County.
Statistics covering the past five years show annual births at the Middlebury hospital hovering around the 300 mark. Specifically, number of babies born at the Birthing Center were as follows:
• 288 in 2007.
• 340 in 2008.
• 299 in 2009.
MIDDLEBURY — When the Williams College men's basketball team visited Middlebury on Jan. 28 and came within a point of upsetting the Panthers, the Ephs shot 53 percent and scored 79 points.
But in Saturday's NESCAC quarterfinal against those same Ephs, the No. 7 seed, the No. 2 Panthers were ready: They held Williams to 34.3 percent shooting — four of 29 from three-point range — to win, 73-61.

A prolactinoma is a noncancerous (benign)
Alternative Names
Adenoma – secreting; Prolactin-secreting adenoma of the pituitary
Prolactin is a hormone that triggers the breasts to produce milk (lactation).
Prolactinoma is the most common type of pituitary tumor (adenoma). It makes up at least 30% of all pituitary adenomas. Almost all pituitary tumors are noncancerous (benign). Prolactinoma may occur as part of an inherited condition called
Prolactinomas occur most commonly in people under age 40. They are about five times more common in women than in men, but are rare in children.
At least half of all prolactinomas are very small (less than 1 cm or 3/8 of an inch in diameter). These small tumors are more common in women. They stay small and never get larger.
Larger tumors are more common in men. They tend to occur at an older age. The tumor can grow to a large size before symptoms appear.
The tumor is often detected at an earlier stage in women than in men.
Medicines that treat low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) and mental illnesses can raise prolactin level. This can cause symptoms similar to prolactinoma or an actual prolactinoma.
In women:
Abnormal milk flow from the breast in a woman who is not pregnant or nursing (
Breast tenderness
Decreased sexual interest
Decreased peripheral vision
- Stopping of menstruation not related to
menopause, or irregular menstruation
- Vision changes
In men:
Decreased sexual interest
Decreased peripheral vision
Enlargement of breast tissue(gynecomastia)
- Headache
- Infertility
- Vision changes
Symptoms caused by pressure from a larger tumor may include:
- Headache
- Nasal drainage
- Nausea and vomiting
- Problems with the sense of smell
- Vision changes, such as double vision,
drooping eyelidsor visual field loss
There may be no symptoms, especially in men.
Exams and Tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms. The doctor will also ask about medicines you are taking to treat conditions such as low thyroid or mental health problems.
Tests that may be ordered include:
- Pituitary MRI or
brain CT scan
- Decreased
testosteronelevels in men Prolactinlevel Thyroid function
Medicine is usually successful in treating prolactinoma. Some people have to take these medicines for life. Some people can stop taking them, especially if their tumor has disappeared from the MRI. But there is a risk that the tumor may grow and produce prolactin again, especially if it is a large tumor.
A large prolactinoma can sometimes get larger during pregnancy.
Surgery is done in some cases when symptoms are severe such as sudden worsening of vision.
Radiation is usually only used in patients with prolactinoma that continues to grow or gets worse after both medication and surgery. It may be given in the form of:
Conventional radiation Gamma knife or stereotactic radiosurgery— a type of radiation therapy that focuses high-powered x-rays on a small area in the brain.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outlook is usually excellent, but depends on the success of medical treatment or surgery. Getting tested to check whether the tumor has returned after treatment is important.
Treatment for prolactinoma may change the levels of other hormones in the body, especially if surgery or radiation is performed.
High levels of estrogen or testosterone may be involved in the growth of a prolactinoma. Women with prolactinomas should be followed closely during pregnancy. They should discuss this tumor with their health care provider before taking birth control pills.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
See your health care provider if you have any symptoms of prolactinoma.
If you have had a prolactinoma in the past, call your health care provider for a general follow-up, or if your symptoms return.

Kirtland, Ohio, was a busy place. In 1832 the Lord had told Joseph Smith to build the first temple in modern times, and now everyone had a job to do. Men dug trenches and built walls. Children helped their mothers at home and carried lunch to the workers. A 10-year-old boy named Asa drove a team of oxen that pulled a wagon filled with big stones from the quarry to the temple site.
Luke J., age 10, and his sister Isabella, age 8, visited historic Kirtland to learn more about what happened there 180 years ago.

When it opened, it was considered the palace of high school gyms.
In its waning years, former Allentown High player and coach John Donmoyer remembers one observer describing the Little Palestra as a "telephone booth with baskets on each end."
In between, Allen High's beloved and cozy gym, which closed its doors for the final time 40 years ago tonight, served as the backdrop for the golden era of high school basketball in Allentown and the Lehigh Valley.

LONDON (Reuters) - The super-rich investors responsible for London's prime real estate bubble are adding California to their wish lists, lured by bargains offering crisis-defying returns as an overdue churn in the United States property market finally gets under way.
Wealthy European and Asian investors who have dominated the market for addresses in London's most fashionable neighborhoods are frequently outbidding locals for assets in the Golden State, U.S. real estate brokers report - and banks, long shackled by the volume of distressed property on their books, are in the mood to cut deals.
"It is now London and Los Angeles, not Shanghai or Moscow, that interests the cash-rich international investor," said Simon Lyons, managing director of global property group Enstar Capital, who is making regular trips to the U.S. in search of bargains.
As uncertainty stifles global financial markets, real estate with strong rental prospects in key cities across the United States is again becoming an asset of choice for the yield-hungry international investor.
Data released this week by the National Association of Realtors showed that international sales reached $82.4 billion in the year to March 31, up from $66.4 billion in 2011.
The Chinese are now the second-largest foreign buyers of U.S. homes (behind Canadians), accounting for 11 percent of sales in the year to March 2012, up from 9 percent in the previous year. Cash purchases accounted for 62 percent of international sales and the average price paid by international buyers was $400,000, against the overall U.S. average of $212,000.
As the U.S. jobs market expands, there are signs that the worst may be over for the property market that spawned the sub-prime mortgage maelstrom and the world's deepest banking crisis since the Great Depression.
To capitalize on increasing confidence, Los Angeles-based asset manager TCW has unveiled plans to raise up to $250 million for a fund enabling wealthy investors to buy foreclosed homes from government agencies and lenders.
While lenders are still keen to avert foreclosures by extending loans, so-called distressed inventory is starting to sell because banks are now in a better position to absorb greater losses and free up capacity on their balance sheets.
David Parnes, a director at Bond Street Partners, a Los Angeles-based realtor specializing in high-end luxury and investment property, said that Los Angeles is enjoying its biggest influx of foreign capital for years.
"Investors are now snapping up foreclosures in greater numbers because comparatively low property prices mean they are able to achieve strong returns," he said. "Prices in L.A. are showing to 60 to 70 percent discounts against their equivalent in Manhattan."
Parnes points out many reasons to explain why the world's super-rich are making a beeline for California. The state is the financial hub of the U.S. West Coast, with Los Angeles already home to the highest number of foreign-born billionaires and Fortune 500 company CEOs outside New York.
The 2011 Wealth-X World Ultra Wealth Report said that Asia Pacific has an estimated 42,525 ultra-high-net-worth individuals with a combined wealth of $6.2 trillion, and many are looking to park wealth in key Western cities to diversify their holdings.
European ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs active in Asia's fast-growing economies are also acquiring bases on the U.S. West Coast to benefit from reduced travel times to the region and time zones better suited to those business interests.
In Silicon Valley, Russian billionaire and Facebook backer Yuri Milner shelled out $100 million in March 2011 on one of the most expensive single-family U.S. homes ever sold. Moscow-based Milner is expected to use the French Chateau-style mansion as his second home, Parnes said.
Adam Fenner, an executive at California's Skyline Wilshire Investment Partners, which sources overseas capital for high-quality US real estate operators and funds, said that overseas investors are again viewing the U.S. as "a safer haven".
"The very existence of the euro zone is now in doubt, whereas investors believe that the U.S. is fundamentally stable," he said.
Parnes agrees. "From an investment standpoint, the view is even more positive: people are searching for returns which aren't available with other investments, and real estate yields are now looking very attractive, given recent price adjustments."

He had first seen our Terms a couple of years earlier when working for a scaffolding company in Adelaide.

{About The Artist}
Hello! I'm Jennifer, a wife to a wonderful and supportive husband and mother to one.
My style is real, creative and fun. I have a deep passion for photography. I really love life and taking the beauty of it and creating art.
Email: email@example.com
{What To Expect}
I am a natural light photographer. Please be aware that our session may need to be rescheduled based on weather and available light.
{Family Sessions}
Please try to coordinate colors. You may even want to coordinate with the season....summer could be bright and cheery and fall could be more earthy tones. PLEASE try to avoid the all WHITE style.
{Child Sessions}
Planning a wardrobe can be tricky and plain frustrating. I am more than happy to help with color choices as well as planning the overall "feel" of the session. PLEASE no character or themed clothing.
For Boys:
Denim, Khaki, buttoned and collard shirts, cool hats and shoes. Think... "cool-handsome".
For Girls:
Think "beautiful and girly".
Please feel free to bring multiple outfits for options.
I have a certain style and ask that you understand and respect that I am not a "point and shoot" photographer. What I see is my art. I am open to suggestions during your session but I really need the trust and confidence in my work to perform my task of providing you with beautiful, quality portraits.

As I sat down to sign my first book a thought came to me that I wanted to inscribe in it which was inspired by my friend Nikki Robertson, who was holding that first book out to me. She and I connected first on Twitter and then met face to face several months ago a EdCamp Bham.
"It's all about learning from one another."
When I think about the professional journey that I've been on in the last couple of years, I realize that my deepest growth has come from times when I was learning with other educators, like Nikki, that shared a passion for learning to better themselves as educators in order to positively impact student learning.
Sometimes these are formal situations where you are sitting in a workshop or a presentation to learn about a new tool or strategy that you could use in your class. But more and more often my learning has come from those informal times of just chatting with other educators between sessions, at a TweetUp, or over a meal. When you see the passion in their eyes as they share what they are doing in the classrooms, their success stories, or something that they're contemplating the learning becomes infectious. You want to know more. You ask a lot of questions. You listen. I can hear my students saying, "These are our peeps. They get us." These are people who are actively practicing what they preach. It's not something in theory. They are living it.
Today, my mind is still reeling from the connections that I've made and the new things that I want to try in my classroom, but I find myself missing that constant face to face informal learning that I've had for the last two days. Thankfully for me the learning never has to stop. I've found new people to follow on Twitter. Through some of the sessions, I've found new blogs to read.Because of the age that we live in, we can have that informal constant feeding of infectious passion everyday.
So today, I'm feeling very thankful to all of you who have helped me become the educator that I am today whether you have been with me on my learning journey for a while or you are a new member of my PLN. After all, it's all about learning from one another.

Re: Answers to "10 Questions For Every Atheist"
One has to wonder if they ever asked these questions of someone who hadn't recently undergone a frontal lobotomy. Or perhaps rather they were created by someone with a frontal lobotomy. That might account for the inability to fathom answers to these probing questions as well as the inability to count.

DBD::Pg - PostgreSQL database driver for the DBI module
DBD::Pg is a Perl module which works with the DBI module to provide access to PostgreSQL databases.
Version 0.91.
The driver author is Edmund Mergl. He can be contacted via the dbi-users mailing list.
The DBD-Pg-0.92 module supports Postgresql 6.5.
DBI->connect() Data Source Name, or DSN, can be one of the
dbi:Pg:dbname=$dbname dbi:Pg:dbname=$dbname;host=$host;port=$port;options=$options;tty=$tty
All parameters, including the userid and password parameter of the connect command, have a hard-coded default which can be overridden by setting appropriate environment variables:
Parameter Environment Variable Default --------- -------------------- -------------- dbname PGDATABASE current userid host PGHOST localhost port PGPORT 5432 options PGOPTIONS "" tty PGTTY "" username PGUSER current userid password PGPASSWORD ""
There are no driver specific attributes for the
DBI-connect()> method.
Postgresql supports the following numeric types:
Postgresql Range ---------- -------------------------- int2 -32768 to +32767 int4 -2147483648 to +2147483647 float4 6 decimal places float8 15 decimal places
Some platforms also support the int8 type.
DBD::Pg always returns all numbers as strings.
Postgresql supports the following string data types:
CHAR single character CHAR(size) fixed length blank-padded VARCHAR(size) variable length with limit TEXT variable length
All string data types have a limit of 4096 bytes. The CHAR type is fixed length and blank padded.
There is no special handling for data with the 8th bit set. They are stored unchanged in the database. None of the character types can store embedded nulls and Unicode is not formally supported.
Strings can be concatenated using the
|| operator.
Postgresql supports the following date time data types:
Type Storage Recommendation Description --------- -------- -------------------------- ---------------------------- abstime 4 bytes original date and time limited range date 4 bytes SQL92 type wide range datetime 8 bytes best general date and time wide range, high precision interval 12 bytes SQL92 type equivalent to timespan reltime 4 bytes original time interval limited range, low precision time 4 bytes SQL92 type wide range timespan 12 bytes best general time interval wide range, high precision timestamp 4 bytes SQL92 type limited range
Data Type Range Resolution ---------- ---------------------------------- ----------- abstime 1901-12-14 2038-01-19 1 sec timestamp 1901-12-14 2038-01-19 1 sec reltime -68 years +68 years 1 sec tinterval -178000000 years +178000000 years 1 microsec timespan -178000000 years 178000000 years 1 microsec date 4713 BC 32767 AD 1 day datetime 4713 BC 1465001 AD 1 microsec time 00:00:00:00 23:59:59:99 1 microsec
Postgresql supports a range of date formats:
Name Example ----------- ---------------------- ISO 1997-12-17 0:37:16-08 SQL 12/17/1997 07:37:16.00 PST Postgres Wed Dec 17 07:37:16 1997 PST European 17/12/1997 15:37:16.00 MET NonEuropean 12/17/1997 15:37:16.00 MET US 12/17/1997 07:37:16.00 MET
The default output format does not depend on the client/server locale.
It depends on, in increasing priority: the PGDATESTYLE environment
variable at the server, the PGDATESTYLE environment variable at the client, and
SET DATESTYLE SQL command.
All of the formats described above can be used for input. A great many others can also be used. There is no specific default input format. If the format of a date input is ambiguous then the current DATESTYLE is used to help disambiguate.
If you specify a date/time value without a time component, the default time is 00:00:00 (midnight). To specify a date/time value without a date is not allowed. If a date with a two digit year is input then if the year was less than 70, add 2000; otherwise, add 1900.
The currect date/time is returned by the keyword
'now' or
which has to be casted to a valid data type. For example:
SELECT 'now'::datetime
Postgresql supports a range of date time functions for converting between types, extracting parts of a date time value, truncating to a given unit, etc. The usual arithmetic can be performed on date and interval values, e.g., date-date=interval, etc.
The following SQL expression can be used to convert an integer "seconds since 1-jan-1970 GMT" value to the corresponding database date time:
and to do the reverse:
DATE_PART('epoch', datetime_field)
The server stores all dates internally in GMT. Times are converted to local time on the database server before being sent to the client frontend, hence by default are in the server time zone.
The TZ environment variable is used by the server as default time
zone. The PGTZ environment variable on the client side is used to send
the time zone information to the backend upon connection. The SQL
TIME ZONE command can set the time zone for the current session.
Postgresql handles BLOBS using a so called "large objects" type. The handling of this type differs from all other data types. The data are broken into chunks, which are stored in tuples in the database. Access to large objects is given by an interface which is modelled closely after the UNIX file system. The maximum size is limited by the file size of the operating system.
If you just select the field, you get a "large object identifier" and
not the data itself. The LongReadLen and LongTruncOk attributes are
not implemented because they don't make sense in this case. The only
method implemented by the driver is the undocumented DBI method
DBD::Pg driver supports the
type_info() method.
Postgresql supports automatic conversions between data types wherever it's reasonable.
Postgresql supports transactions. The current default isolation transaction level is "Serializable" and is currently implemented using table level locks. Both may change. No other isolation levels for transactions are supported.
With AutoCommit on, a query never places a lock on a table. Readers never block writers and writers never block readers. This behavior changes whenever a transaction is started (AutoCommit off). Then a query induces a shared lock on a table and blocks anyone else until the transaction has been finished.
LOCK TABLE table_name statement can be used to apply an explicit
lock on a table. This only works inside a transaction (AutoCommit off).
To ensure that a table being selected does not change before you make
an update later in the transaction, you must explicitly lock it with a
LOCK TABLE statement before executing the select.
To select a constant expression, that is, an expression that doesn't involve data from a database table or view, just omit the "from" clause. Here's an example that selects the current time as a datetime:
SELECT 'now'::datetime;
Outer joins are not supported. Inner joins use the traditional syntax.
The max size of table and column names cannot exceed 31 charaters in length. Only alphanumeric characters can be used; the first character must be a letter.
If an identifier is enclosed by double quotation marks (
"), it can
contain any combination of characters except double quotation marks.
Postgresql converts all identifiers to lower-case unless enclosed in double quotation marks. National character set characters can be used, if enclosed in quotation marks.
Postgresql has the following string matching operators:
Glyph Description Example ----- ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------- ~~ Same as SQL "LIKE" operator 'scrappy,marc' ~~ '%scrappy%' !~~ Same as SQL "NOT LIKE" operator 'bruce' !~~ '%al%' ~ Match (regex), case sensitive 'thomas' ~ '.*thomas.*' ~* Match (regex), case insensitive 'thomas' ~* '.*Thomas.*' !~ Does not match (regex), case sensitive 'thomas' !~ '.*Thomas.*' !~* Does not match (regex), case insensitive 'thomas' !~ '.*vadim.*'
The Postgresql "row id" pseudocolumn is called oid, object identifier. It can be treated as a string and used to rapidly (re)select rows.
Postgresql does not support automatic key generation such as "auto increment" or "system generated" keys.
However, Postgresql does support "sequence generators". Any number of
named sequence generators can be created in a database. Sequences
are used via functions called
NEXTVAL and
CURRVAL. Typical usage:
INSERT INTO table (k, v) VALUES (nextval('seq_name'), ?);
To get the value just inserted, you can use the corresponding
SQL function in the same session, or
SELECT last_value FROM seq_name
Postgresql does not support any way of automatically numbering returned rows.
Parameter binding is emulated by the driver.
Both the
? and
:1 style of placeholders are supported.
The TYPE attribute of the
bind_param() method may be used to
influence how parameters are treated. These SQL types are bound as
The SQL_CHAR type is bound as a CHAR thus enabling fixed-width blank padded comparison semantics.
Unsupported values of the TYPE attribute generate a warning.
DBD::Pg does not support stored procedures.
DBD::Pg supports the
table_info() method.
The pg_attribute table contains detailed information about all columns of all the tables in the database, one row per table.
The pg_index table contains detailed information about all indexes in the database, one row per index.
Primary keys are implemented as unique indexes. See pg_index above.
There are no significant
DBD::Pg driver-specific database handle attributes.
DBD::Pg has the following driver-specific statement handle attributes:
DBD::Pg has no private methods.
Postgresql does not support positioned updates or deletes.
DBD::Pg has no significant differences in behavior from the
current DBI specification.
Note that
DBD::Pg does not fully parse the statement until
it's executed. Thus attributes like $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS} are not
available until after
$sth->execute has been called. This is valid
behaviour but is important to note when porting applications
originally written for other drivers.
DBD::Pg supports an unlimited number of concurrent database
connections to one or more databases.
It also supports the preparation and execution of a new statement handle while still fetching data from another statement handle, provided it is associated with the same database handle.
Postgres offers substantial additional power by incorporating the following four additional basic concepts in such a way that users can easily extend the system: classes, inheritance, types, and functions.
Other features provide additional power and flexibility: constraints, triggers, rules, transaction integrity, procedural languages, and large objects.
It's also free Open Source Software with an active community of developers.

Checking in with the Gardeners Across America this time returns to a whole new scene. I am amazed at how quickly plants grow. Even the unattended weeds in my backyard (that I have no access to!) have completely taken over. Those weeds have grown without any water but rain. But how do people – in various parts of the country — water their garden these days with water conservation on their minds?
So – again, here are our gardeners – read on to find out how their gardens grow (and where the water comes from)!

Mike in California
How are you watering your plants? I know you have a balcony and self-watering containers… is the water coming from rain? The kitchen sink? Tell us how it's working!
I change out the water in my containers about once a week or so. For the containers that I am starting seeds in, I water from the top on a daily basis. I also do my best to not waste water and reuse as much as I can. Since I make my own nut and seed milks, I'll use the soak water in my garden to water it. When I was living in NYC, I used to shower with a 5-gallon container and use the shower to water my plants. Now that I'm in LA, I have carpeting and am a bit more hesitant to drag the water across the carpet.
Simran in Kansas
Your garden looks beautiful! How do you gauge how much water it will need… and where does the water come from? Is there a balance between rain water and supplemental watering?
Water is such a crucial issue and question. (There are some great resources on how and where we use water here: http://www.oprah.com/home/Stop-Wasting-Water-Simran-Sethi.) Most of the water that's used in my garden comes from the sky. In the future, all of it will. I am committed to growing drought-resistant crops whenever possible and I desperately need to build some rain barrels to capitalize on what nature gives us. And, I am ever-hopeful I can divert water from my home into my yard. (I took my class to Oakland to learn about greywater capture and am now determined to try it here in Kansas) Sally just planted melons! I can't wait for the harvest.
Tess and Jack in Wisconsin
How are you watering your plants? I know you have a pretty big garden – are you collecting rain water? Watering from the hose?
As for watering, we use both rain barrels and the city water from the tap. We have been really lucky as this spring and early summer months in Wisconsin have not been dry. The weather was very cold here and so it seemed we really didn't have much of a spring. Some of my friends are experimenting with Ollas. (see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olla) We can get you a picture of the Ollas in a garden setting for the next entry. We did not put Ollas in our garden this year but look forward to trying them out next year. Our strawberries are off the chart this year, sweet and plentiful. Earlier we sent pictures of our newly planted apple trees and we did see some blossoms, which resulted in our first apple. So we are pretty excited to be harvesting our first apple. In addition our blackberries and raspberries are ready to burst into full color. To celebrate we bought an old fashion ice cream maker and we can't wait to try it out with all these wonderful berries.
Wendimere in Florida
I asked the other gardeners about their watering processes… how does watering work with aquaponics? Do you need to add water on a regular basis? I know you also collect rainwater, do you use this for the aquaponics and for your other watering needs?
At The Health Chic House 95% of our outside water usage comes from our rain barrel systems. All edibles, including the aquaponic system are watered 100% through our various rainwater catchment systems. We did plant some new bamboo this year as a natural fencing alternative and this required the use of some city water during a few of our dry spells. Plants grown with rainwater seem to be hardier and more resilient to disease, especially in combination with the use of worm compost. Plus, I prefer my edibles to not be nourished with chlorinated city water as I do feel that this affects the quality. Rain Barrel systems are inexpensive and easy to start and can be installed even without gutters as shown in the photo of the 3 barrel interconnected system. By the way, this system is very unique as it uses a pumping system that is connected to a time controlled micro-irrigation system. Absolutely brilliant for any lazy gardener, like myself.
Anne in Maine
How are you watering your garden? I know it's pretty big – are you collecting rainwater? Watering from the hose? Tell us how it is going!
Well the garden is in; and it's looking good! There are far too many tomatoes, but they have such lovely names (Aunt Ruby's German Green, Azoychka, Hillbilly, Amish Paste, etc.) and I couldn't keep myself from over-seeding back in May. The dry and sweet corn, beans, and salad greens are up; the potatoes are going strong; the peas are trellised and flowering; and the garlic sending up those delicious scapes. So far I think I'm on track, with the exception of that darn fence installation. The cedar poles are here, but we've got to rent a post-hole digger this weekend to save my back for the real farm work.
So. The question: How do I tackle watering?
The short answer is that I cross my fingers for rain. The long answer is, well, long. After we purchased this house a year ago, we discovered that our only water source was a 12 foot dug well lined with stone. During the summer months we keep a constant watch on it, but even with our conservative use, it sometimes runs dry, and we have to turn off the water for a day until it recharges. This means, of course, that watering the garden is not an option. A drilled well is a couple of years and a few thousand dollars away, and so I cross my fingers for rain.
For the most part, we were lucky last year – it rained about once a week, at most every two weeks, enough to keep the plants happy, healthy and growing. I've also learned that what looks dry isn't always dry – healthy soil retains more moisture than you would think. So as long as you can dig down a few inches, squeeze a fistful of soil and have it somewhat hold together, you're probably fine. Still, sometimes you need more water than the sky provides.
Ironically, given our well problems, we have two streams that run year-round on the property. Neither is in a location that can be accessed with any type of irrigation pipe, but they're there, and they're flowing. When the situation gets desperate, I pick up the watering cans, put on my imaginary bonnet, and start hauling water Laura-Ingalls-Wilder-style. It doesn't take all that long, and crouching by a gently-flowing stream in the woods while collecting water has its charms. With a little effort, I'm able to use an abundant natural resource to keep my garden growing. At some point we'll have a drilled well, and it will all be a non-issue, but I imagine I'll look back on these days with a mix of fondness and amusement.
As a side note, I feel compelled to mention that while I take pride in the "Big Garden (really big)" label, my garden is small to moderate in size by Maine standards. I recently had an impromptu chat in Goodwill with a woman in her sixties who maintains a 60'x80' garden and cans hundreds of jars of vegetables every year! In order to keep up appearances, I'm expanding my garden by one bed. It will soon be filled with rare dry bean varieties, bringing the main garden space to 35'x40' + two 3×3 herb beds.

Pericarditis is a disorder caused by inflammation of the pericardium, the thin, sac-like membrane that surrounds the heart. Pericarditis can be caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. It may also result from vascular inflammation (vasculitis), kidney or thyroid diseases, tumors, and injury or trauma to the chest, esophagus, or heart. In many cases, the cause is unknown. Pain occurs as a result of the layers of the inflamed pericardium rubbing against each other.

Becasue of my concern over the need for the "performance package" that BMW is offering to improve the struts, I had my car inspected. I had noticed that my structs were domed which was an indication of the reported problem. In addition, my hood is slightly mis-aligned (I have a picture of it posted in the "Frame Forum"). BMW did a very thorough 3 hours inspection and sent me a report. It stated "... no frame damage, nosigns of impact and no cracked welds around the struct supports, however the structs are slightly domed upward ...". They blame this condition on the car "bottoming out". And this in turn caused the misalignment of the hood. Therefore, they consider this as a result of road hazards and not any defect inmaterial or workmanship. They also recommended that the structs be repaired.
BMW states that in order to fix these problems I will need to ship the car to NJ or South Carolina to have the struct brought back to the original condition and to have the hood re-aligned. The BMW body shop is working up an estimate for this work.
I live in Long Island, New York and Boynton Beach, Florida. The car is only on paved roads. Florida roads are nice and smooth. New York roads do have potholes from the change in seasons. But I can't beleive that it would be so easy to "bottom out" the car in a pothole - and only cause struct doming and no other damage to the car.
I certainly do not know if the performance package installation would have prevented the struct doming and hood mis-alignment that I reported.
Needless to say, I am livid over this entire situation. After spending over $180K for a car, putting on 23.4K miles, I can't beleive that a pothole was enough to damage the structs and mis-align the hood. And I think I would certainly remember hitting a pothole so hard that it would damage the structs and hood. I don't recall any pothole that would have been this bad. How could this car so easily "bottom out" and be damaged, with no other frame, suspension, alignment or cracks in the car?
I would like to hear what my fellow board members think of this situation.

A couple of months ago we got a visit from a journalist from Fast Company.
We were on fire that day, and personally I found the experience an opportunity to gain a refreshed insight into the passions, motivations and thoughts of the other founders.
Sadly not present were fellow cofounders: Tonia Welter, Philip Steffan, and Axel Stab as it would've been a great to get their insights and thoughts on the process also.
I highly recommend reading the article, it captures elements of the spirit of ODC beautifully.
We were on revolutionary form that day, and I'd love to get the full transcripts from Jude. Interesting aspects worthy of further exploration and documentation include:
"It's not so much about scientific development, because this work doesn't require rocket science. It's more about creating the social interactions that invent new things" - Christoph Fahle on how Open Design City creates a space for innovation
"At the very beginning, she kept repeating: This is impossible. How can I do this? But then we spent 15 minutes together, she saw how it's actually fun and easy to make, and she and her friends totally enjoyed it. They spent a week cutting like crazy, building a jailhouse out of bricks, inventing a method to join the letters. All that was needed was this little start." - Christopher Doering on our culture of enabling others to make.
"Industrial culture says: here's a product with a certain use or value. But products don't work that way; things can be used in so many ways. You cannot say: this is a lamp; its purpose is to fill a space with light. That's totally limiting. It's also a gift from your grandma; it's a personalizing touch in your living room; it's landfill; it's made of materials that cost something." - Christopher Doering on the need for an emotional connection and understanding of what products actually mean to us.
"The best way to get attached to a product or object is to make it yourself." - Ronen Kardushin on why open design offers an emotional connection.
"We're sustained right now by this big system that's more fragile than we might like to believe. Distributing this knowledge [of how to make products] within the community gives us resilience, lets us fend for ourselves better." - Myself on the social and cultural importance of Open Design City.
Finally some notes from the Author Jude Stewart, place Open Design City in the context of an aspect of the Emergent culture.
"It's a movement that has the potential to upend traditional modes of industrial design and manufacturing -- and even change how we consume products."
"It's an intriguing Mobius-strip vision of the next decade: the detritus of an industrial revolution becomes raw material for medieval-style workshops, a movement made possible by the crowd-sourced Internet, a populace tired of living virtually, and machinery democratized in price by a consumer base eager to buy the new means of production. What's old is, indeed, new again."
The article touches on many of the questions as to why Open Design City is relevant for business (innovation), community (knowledge, community, enabling resilience), and society (emotional connections, sustainability). Whilst there are a few amendments - (chiefly that we actually have 2 cnc machines rather than the zero cited), I thoroughly recommend it - click here for the full article

Cruz Delivers
Another Blow to GOP Leadership
One month after the firing of longtime House Republican staffer Paul Teller ignited tea party anger, Mr. Teller hopped across the Capitol, landing in the office of tea party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz.
"Paul's many years of experience working in Congress and his tireless work to advance conservative principles make him a tremendous addition to our team," Mr. Cruz said in a statement, noting that he looked forward to working with Mr. Teller to "promote a positive policy agenda that will restore economic growth, rein in government overreach, and protect Americans' personal liberties."
Mr. Teller was the executive director of the Republican Study Committee, a group of the most conservative House Republicans, until he was fired in December for divulging the contents of private conversations between lawmakers to outside parties, according to a House GOP aide. The tipping point came when Mr. Teller worked to undermine the bipartisan budget deal brokered by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), a member of the RSC, before it was unveiled, a senior House GOP aide said.
Mr. Teller declined at the time to comment on his departure.
"It is an honor and privilege to work for Sen. Cruz," Mr. Teller said in a statement Monday. "His leadership is truly motivating, and I can't wait to get started on our collaboration for liberty."
Last year, Mr. Cruz helped spearhead the push to refuse to keep the government running unless funding for the health-care law was gutted, endearing him to some conservatives and right-leaning groups. The campaign caused heartburn among House GOP leaders when their rank-and-file, urged on by a band of conservatives, rejected numerous proposals to reopen the government after it partially shuttered, damaging the GOP party in polls and helping boost Democratic fundraising.
Outside groups heralded Mr. Cruz's hiring of Mr. Teller as fresh evidence of his loyalty to conservative activists, rather than fealty to party leaders.
"Cruz's decision signals his desire to strengthen ties with the conservative grassroots given Mr. Teller's years of experience and strong relationship to conservative movement leaders," contributing editor Todd Thurman wrote in a blog post for the Heritage Foundation, a conservative Washington think tank.

Female Authors 2010
It started when Jodi Picoult (followed by Jennifer Weiner) took to twitter, complaining about the fact that female authors are given significantly less notice by prominent critics. Subsequent research found that the numbers confirm Picoult's charge- Times Book Review does give far less space to novels written by women than to those by their male counterparts.
After being so publicly called on their sexism, influential review publications have taken note of the female authors they have ignored for so long in their best of 2010 lists. Times' and Salon's lists prominently featured books written by women, and the National Book Awards had four female finalists out of five.
Thoughts? Have you read any 2010 publications written by women that you would recommend? I myself am currently making my way through Courtney E. Martin's Do it Anyway: The New Generation of Activists. Martin's book explores the causes and biographies of eight young activists in a reverent, but still critical way. If you get the chance to read it it is definitely worth your time.

They made this complaint based off "Freedom" though and "Freedom" was a fantastic novel, probably one of the best novels I've read in years.

I haven't read any books that were published by women in 2010, but in 2010 I fell in love with Jeanette Winterson's writing and read two books by her.

Also, Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner are somewhat atrocious authors. This is not to say there are not ignored wonderful female authors.

Tasha- I haven't read Freedom, though I have to agree with you that Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner are not my favorites. However, my personal opinions about the authors and Freedom aside, Picoult's point that critics ignore many worthwhile female authors because of conscious or subconscious bias is a valid one that I am glad Picoult brought to the media's attention.

I recently ran into a test discrepancy where my test was failing when running it via the maven surefire plugin, yet it passed when I ran it through IntelliJ's JUnit runner.
After spending a ridiculous amount of time on this issue, I was finally able to pinpoint the discrepancy to the Java 1.4 introduced "assert" statement and the differences in the default behavior of the maven surefire plugin and the IntelliJ JUnit runner. The maven surefire plugin (v 2.7.2) enables JVM assertions by default. IntelliJ's JUnit runner does not (v 9.0.4). My test in question happened to be failing due to a failing assert in an included xml parsing library.
To change the default behavior of the JUnit runner, edit the Run/Debug configurations, select Edit Defaults, select JUnit, and add "-ea" or "-enableassertions" to the VM parameters.

Increasing amounts of leisure time for middle and upper class women allowed them to indulge in their growing desire for travel and sightseeing. Scenic vistas and outdoor amusements were particularly popular. These women picnicked on top of Mt. Sugarloaf, in Sunderland, Massachusetts, in about 1910. They probably arrived at the base of the mountain by trolley. They then had the choice of taking a carriage or walking up the roadway to the summit. Mount Sugarloaf afforded them excellent views of the Connecticut River and the Connecticut River Valley itself.

Posted November 15, 2012
As the semester rolls on and tests pile up many students begin
changing their daily routine to one that is more study friendly
and, unfortunately, usually more deskbound. What most students do
not realize is that while your dog lies next to you on the couch
day after day, it is being robbed of physical activity that is
vital to their health.
Multiple studies have shown that dogs that exercise have
improved bone health, and have improved organ and lung function. It
makes them look better, feel better, and they are less nervous when
left alone.
"Exercise is good for maintaining general health, and it helps
keep your heart, muscles, and joints strong. It also helps with
maintaining weight and their coordination," said Jacqueline
Davidson, Clinical Track Professor at Texas A&M University
College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
Studies also show that dogs lacking exercise usually have poor
muscle tone, and are more prone to injury, brain ailments, and bone
disorders. They are also more susceptible to developing emotional
problems and behavior quirks.
"Dogs that don't exercise are usually overweight, have less
dexterity, and their heart & joints aren't as vigorous,"
Davidson said.
"A lack of exercise can affect you and your pet in similar ways,
like becoming chubby," said Davidson. "Obesity is a big concern for
most animals."
Getting you and dog off the couch does not mean having to do a
tedious and dreary daily exercise, there are a lot of fun ways to
keep your pet and you active.
"For dogs the choices are easy, they enjoy almost anything you
enjoy doing," said Davidson. This can include "walking, running,
playing with a ball or Frisbee, agility training, and even such
sports as canicross and bikejoring (i.e. running or biking with
your dog attached by an elastic line)."
Sports like skijoring and bikejoring, while fun, can potentially
be a safety issue, warns Davidson. "If you're doing anything like
attaching yourself to your dog, make sure the dog has decent
obedience training and responds well to voice commands."
The best way to exercise with your dog is to set a "date" with
them. While generally playing in any way with your pet is good,
dogs benefit most from a prearranged occasion.
"Running around the yard is okay, but it's better to have a
structured activity where your pet is constantly moving," Davidson
said. "This structure can also help with your dog's behavioral
problems, like chewing, barking etc. because you are giving them an
outlet to expend surplus energy and spend time with you."
It is also important to be patient with your pet. When starting
a new activity or sport gradually build the time spent doing these
"If the dog is sedentary and you expect it to run for several
miles, or play vigorously for 30 minutes, injury may result if the
dog is not physically conditioned for the sport or activity,"
Davidson said.

The following video and blog are recounted in my book The Voice of the Dolphins. They document four spotted dolphins protecting me from a hammerhead shark. This material is posted in support of PETA's lawsuit to expand the rights of killer whales.
Perhaps the most compelling evidence of how the dolphins felt about us came in 1985 late in the afternoon after a day of filming. Howard Hall, Julia, and other members of the underwater crew had climbed aboard the Zodiak that covered us as we worked at any distance from the main boat. I lingered at the surface, enjoying the delirious late afternoon light, my camera hanging in my right hand. The blue skies above held huge, gleaming white cumulous clouds, and toward the western horizon, blazing orange rays of sunlight shone out of the sea. The water temperature was in the high eighties. I lay on my back and experienced bliss.
Half a dozen young spotted dolphins, including a band of juveniles we'd named the Gang of Four, swam slowly over the sandy bottom thirty feet below. Occasionally, one dolphin would bite another on the tail and begin a brief, friendly tussle consisting of darting, twisting, and jaw snapping. But mostly they were grazing for bottom fish.
In the distance, at the limit of visibility, another sleek, gray creature appeared, swimming in an unusual, sine-wave manner and hugging the bottom. Its tail was not stroking up and down; it was slashing from side to side. The tail fin was vertical, and the head broad and flat. This wasn't a dolphin. It was a very large Atlantic hammerhead shark, one of the few shark species that will attack humans. The shark moved toward me, angling first to one side then the other as though following a scent, probably mine. It was swinging its eyeballs, stuck out on the extremities of the head, so as to see its target first with one eye, then the other, perhaps to gauge distance. I didn't feel comfortable presenting the hammerhead with the sight of my dangling legs, so I jackknifed and dove toward the bottom, raising my camera. Not only was this a unique chance to document the behavior of dolphins around sharks but raising the camera also served to put some metal between the fast-approaching predator and me.
The shark was grayish brown and about eleven feet long. I could judge its size easily because it was twice the length of the subadult dolphins swimming nearby. It undulated across the bottom, its movements now excited and menacing. I'd been diving with hammerheads in the Pacific on numerous occasions and had never felt threatened, but Atlantic hammerheads have a nasty reputation, and this one displayed the agonistic postures that precede an attack.
I hung in the water five feet over the bottom, and sooner than usual, my lungs began to ache for air. In a moment, I'd have to return to the surface. The shark turned directly toward me and accelerated with a flick of its tail. It happened so quickly that I could only react by pulling my camera tight against my body, poised to thrust it against the shark's sensitive rostrum if it struck at me. I turned the camera on.
Suddenly the undersea world came alive with high-pitched whistles and intense sonar bursts. Two juvenile dolphins, Chopper and Stubby, appeared over my left shoulder. I flinched as I felt the wash they created streaking through the water straight for the hammerhead. In an instant, two buddies joined them, bolting in from the right.
The Gang of Four worked as a unit, diving and turning in unison like a squadron of fighter planes flying precision maneuvers.
The hammerhead saw the onrushing dolphins and, looking harassed and perplexed, jerked to the side, away from me. With powerful beats of their tail flukes, the dolphins launched themselves toward the shark's head, clicking and whistling intensely, turning away only at the last instant. Again and again the juvenile dolphins dived at the hammerhead, mobbing it the way sparrows do a hawk, using sonar bursts to attack the shark's lateral lines, a highly sensitive component of the shark sensory system, disorienting the huge fish.
The shark now wanted nothing more than to escape from this sudden torment. It turned one way then another but the Gang of Four were allowing it to move only in one direction—away from me. The hammerhead disappeared into the blue-green distance, and the dolphins, now tremendously excited, swam for the surface to do a series of victory leaps. One after another, they launched themselves through the surface, reentering instants later. After perhaps half a dozen leaps, Chopper cruised up to me, whistling intensely. I swam with him at the surface, trying my best to move in a way that showed the same kind of exuberance he'd displayed, but my human body dragged in the water and he had to restrain himself to stay with me. He was too excited to maintain the slow pace and darted off with his friends.
I was frankly glad to have footage of the dolphins saving me from the hammerhead. Without it, there might have been quite a bit of skepticism about this event. Some people just don't want to admit animals are capable of altruism.

Navigating the Short Sale Process
Sep 16, 2013
If you're facing foreclosure and can no longer afford your home, you may qualify for a Short Sale—even if you haven't been able to (or think you can't) sell your home. A Short Sale is an agreement with your mortgage company to sell your home for less than the outstanding balance of your loan. Often, the lender will agree to a Short Sale and not proceed with legal action against you for the amount of your loan not paid off by the Short Sale.
If you qualify for this option, the process is similar to a normal real estate sales transaction. You should work with a real estate agent (preferably with recent Short Sale experience) to market and sell your home.
Help for Fannie Mae Homeowners
If your loan is owned by Fannie Mae (find out), your agent should visit www.HomePathforShortSales.com, an online Fannie Mae resource for listing agents with information about what to expect in connection with a Fannie Mae Short Sale. If your loan is owned by Fannie Mae, you may qualify for relocation assistance up to $3,000.
You should also contact your mortgage company to tell them you're interested in a Short Sale. The mortgage company may request authorization to release information about your loan; information supporting your qualifying hardship; and access to your home for an appraiser and real estate professional to assess its value.
What to Expect
There are certain conditions you should understand about the Short Sale process:
- You will need to confirm your eligibility for a Short Sale with your mortgage company and be prepared to provide details about the hardship that's making it difficult to stay current on your mortgage.
- The sale of your home must be an "arm's length" transaction where parties involved are not related or affiliated by family, marriage, or commercial enterprise (business partners);
- If the foreclosure process has already begun, pursuing a Short Sale does not automatically suspend the foreclosure process; and
- There may be tax consequences if any portion of the outstanding mortgage debt is forgiven. Seeking legal and tax advice about this possibility is strongly recommended.
Be Patient
A Short Sale may take up to 120 days, but this could be shorter or longer depending upon your specific situation.
And finally, if you are unable to sell your home, you may be able to transfer the ownership of your property to the owner of your mortgage (also called a Mortgage Release™ or Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure). With Mortgage Release, you may be eligible to receive relocation assistance and may be able to remain in the home for an agreed-upon time period to ease your transition to new housing.

Neurological Problems - Any Advise Please
My Cavalier who is nearly nine has been having facial and body twitching and tremours. They have become regular and often. She seems very low, depressed but is eating well. Vet has taken blood tests but feels this will not shed much light on her situation and suggested MRI scan. She said she is too old to have epilepsy as this usually starts at a much younger age. Reading between the lines I think she is suggesting brain tumour or spinal cord problem. Does anyone have any experience of this? Many thanks in advance
You may want to try another opinion. It is possible your dog may have had a stroke. Did the vet do a full blood panel this should give some idea as to what the problem is
A dog has so many friends because they wag their tails not their tongues.

Hello - yes today they did bloods. Took her in and took blood before food and then took blood after feeding. They said results will be with Vet on friday. Why this came to a head is because a few days ago she could walk but she could not get her back legs straight and her tail was ridgid and pointing up. This last for just a few minutes. The twitching and tremours are not severe but they come and go ALL day long.
I don't know that you necessarily need another opinion. From your description, your veterinarians statements are sound. Epilepsy can be defined in a couple of ways but in general 'epilepsy' is going to start 6 months to 5-7 years of age. With facial and body twitching the brain or upper (proximal) spinal cord lesion is likely. I agree that a tumor may be a cause. Infection and inflammatory causes may also be the underlying cause. MRI and CSF tap are the definitive diagnostic tests. While I believe that blood tests are important, I agree with your veterinarian's statement.
I have a couple of thoughts on her, assuming that these tests cannot be afforded. First you can video record these episodes and have a consultation with a neurologist. Occasionally there may be signs which are pathognomonic for a particular disease. Another thought would be a therapeutic medical trials of medications like antimicrobials, phenobarbitol and/or steroids. None of these are of course as good as a MRI but I hate to give up an anyone! Some patients can really positively respond to empirical medication administration.
Also, are you in an area or has she ever been in an area of fungal infections like valley fever (coccidiomycosis) etc... Perhaps ask your vet. Some fungal infections can set in the brain and can be treated or managed well.
Good luck.

Preventive Medicine Specialist With a Focus on Immunology and Infectious Disease
Dr Lee- thank you so much for your reply. I have written your suggestions down and will discuss with vet on friday when she phones with the results. In addition to her twitching, trumours and sometimes circling in the house her heart has now gone down hill. In december she had a grade 1 murmour and in just 6 months she now has a grade 4 murmour. So my poor girls problems are two fold. When she saw vet she had a very high temp and since taking antibiotics the twitching has not stopped but she seems much happier in herself. I have known a few Cavi's get to the age of 14 and I was really hoping my girl would do the same
One of the potential adverse reactions to vaccinations is seizures -- has your dog recently been vaccinated? Rabies vaccines are associated with adverse neurological side affects.
Significant calcium deficiency can cause seizure-like episodes, have you had a blood test to check calcium and phosphorous levels? High phosphorous foods (meat, eggs, nuts) bind with calcium, as do high oxalate foods (oatmeal) and may deplete your dog's levels to a point where it will cause problems. Poison will also cause seizures.
You might want to do an online search for "canine hypocalcemia" or just "hypocalcemia". The Lowchensaustralia website will take you to an article on this subject in which it states that the signs of low calcium levels (hyocalcemia) are: "Muscle tremors, restlessness, panting, incoordination, grand mal seizures and fever as high as 106."
Further, the above articles thats a one of the possible causes: Poor Nutrition - "Home brewed" diets usually are at fault. The owner innocently may be adding too much unbalanced meat to the bitch's diet, thinking the extra protein is beneficial. What's really happening is the calcium to phosphorus ratio is out of balance because the amount of useful calcium in the food is actually reduced! The ideal contains a ratio of calcium to phosphorus of 1.2 to 1. (Many organ meats such as liver have a ratio of calcium to phosphorus of 1 to 15!! Liver is great for dogs but if it comprises a large part of the diet, the calcium/phosphorus ratio of the diet will be improper.)
If you have chickens or wild turkeys roaming your yard, you should be aware that their droppings are extremely high in phosphorous and can cause a problem if your dog eats too many of them. If the droppings are charging your dog's blood with phosphorous, it's going to drain him/her of calcium in order to maintain proper pH balance and cause muscle twitching, etc...
The British Health Protection Agency states about Phosphorous in their FAQs "It has been used as a rat and rodent poison.."
The PetEducation website owned and operated by veterinarians states under Eclampsia (Puerperal Tetany, Milk Fever, Hypocalcemia) in Dogs "Eclampsia, also called milk fever or puerperal tetany, is an acute, life-threatening disease caused by low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in dogs ...."
One of our dogs developed severe seizures after the second of his puppy rabies shots -- his head shook so hard we thought his eyes would pop out, it was terrifying. After this seizure activity triggered by the vaccine, he became prone to them from other triggers. Whenever he ate too many high phosphorous foods (or chicken droppings), he would seize. Giving him 1/2 a quart of plain organic yogurt would calm his seizures within 15 minutes, when they were food-related.
Personally, I would have a complete blood count done to check for mineral levels if you don't think vaccines or something your dog is eating is causing the seizures. PLUS, I would consult a Homeopathic/Holistic veterinarian for an alternative treatment, you can do an online search for one near you at American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association and Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy.
Combination Vaccines, Multiple Shots--on Page 16 of the 2003 American Animal Hospital Association's Canine Vaccine Guidelines under Immunological Factors Determining Vaccine Safety, it states that: "Although increasing the number of components in a vaccine may be more convenient for the practitioner or owner, the likelihood for adverse effects may increase. Also, interference can occur among the components. Care must be taken not to administer a product containing too many vaccines simultaneously if adverse events are to be avoided and optimal immune responses are sought. "
Full bloods came back today and have ruled out anything metabolic. No recent jabs, My vet phone and discussed with specialist and she is almost certain it is a lesion on the brain or spinal cord. Is a lesion a tumour?? She is starting her on meds for siezures and we have appt with specialist on the 25 June for discussion and probably an MRI scan. Thanks again for so much helpful information and fingers cross for my girl
