Thumbs up: To teaching local children about Chinese language and culture. On Tuesday, 30 students ages 8 to 11, marked their completion of a two-week Chinese Summer Immersion Program hosted by Startalk, the Consortium of Illinois Language Schools and DeKalb School District 428. Although foreign tongues such as Spanish and French are more commonly taught in schools, China is a world power whose trade and other relationships with the United States will make its language and customs more relevant to Americans in the decades ahead.
Thumbs down: To more missed pension deadlines. Not that anyone should be surprised, but Gov. Pat Quinn's latest deadline for action on Illinois' $97 billion pension crisis likely will go unmet by members of the Legislature. The chairman of a legislative committee working toward compromise on the issue has said his group won't be ready to meet the Tuesday deadline set by Quinn for reaching consensus on the matter. A special legislative session is scheduled for Tuesday, at which time legislators are more likely to overturn Quinn's veto of concealed-carry legislation than to pass any pension reform. But that reform is what our state desperately needs.
Thumbs up: To the organizers of Displace Me, a mock refugee camp planned for Aug. 11-12 in Genoa. The program is designed to show teenagers how refugees of persecution, war and natural disasters live and to teach team-building and leadership. Participants are asked to bring cardboard boxes, sleeping bags, blankets and flashlights, but to leave their food and other electronics at home. Crackers and protein packs may be distributed at the event, which is planned by church representatives in Genoa, Kingston and Kirkland. This unusual event will likely help teens empathize with those less fortunate than themselves and may spark their curiosity about foreign affairs.
Thumbs down: To unfunded mandates from Springfield. The Legislature has decided that high school juniors in Illinois once again will be tested on their writing skills. However, the cost to administer such tests is estimated at $2.5 million, and no money was appropriated for the purpose. So even in a year when lawmakers triumphantly tell us they haven't cut education funding – a sad sign of what passes for a "win" for Illinois schools these days – they are putting added financial obligations on schools without paying for them.
Although we agree that writing skills are important, so too are local school budgets. Legislators should either appropriate the money for the tests or abandon the requirement until the funds are there.
Thumbs up: To the many ways area residents celebrated our nation's independence. From fireworks and festivals to parades and tractor pulls, there certainly was a wide variety of events to mark the Fourth of July. And the fun's not over yet. Kirkland's festival continues today with fireworks tonight. There also will be fireworks tonight at the Sycamore Speedway and at the Sandwich Fairgrounds on Sunday night. Happy Independence Day!

Raggs has been dx'd with Hemangioma or Hemangiosarcoma
Raggs is now 13 years old and has been diagnosed with a probable hemangiosarcoma in his spleen. But there is a slim possibility he only has a hemangioma which is slightly less lethal. My vet and I decided that we would only put him through blood work before deciding whether to do an Ultrasound or Surgery. His complete blood count came back very suggestive of a hemangiosarcoma. However my vet did say that there is a slim possibility it is an hemangioma. My vet also said that his platelets, though low, were not as low as she would expect to see in hemangiosarcoma.
Because his gums are very pale and his hemoglobin very low, I started him on cooked liver and a multivitamin compound. I'm hoping that the liver will help his anemia.but have wondered (as in my other post) whether the liver should be given to him raw for the best absorption of the nutrients.
This all started back in the spring when I noticed a hairless tumour increasing to the size of an egg, today, on the lower part of his chest, midline. I had talked to the vet at the time and she did a needle aspiration and found fat cells in the tumour. In the last week he had 2 episodes of vomiting seemingly caused by a new treat he didn't particularly like. After that he had returned to normal until he injured his front left paw when he fell on the ice outside. His front paw was lame following the fall and because his hind legs are weak normally he lay around for the better part of 24 hours. I had to reposition his hind legs before he was able to get to his feet. He was still limping when we finally got him to the vet this last Monday.
My vet examined all his joints especially the ones in his front legs and checked the bones in his feet as well. She examined his entire body and noticed his gums were very pale and that's when she suggested we do blood work to confirm or rule out cancer. She did a complete blood count only because she told me it would tell her if any further testing was indicated. After getting the results I decided not to put him through anything more testing as it would become evident in a very short period of time if she was right. As much as I love him to bits, I have strong beliefs about the treatments for cancer. I decided to try some alternative therapies. However when I read about the individual herbs I found they were not recommended in anyone with potentially active bleeding so I settled on liver and a high dose of multiple vitamin and mineral product for dogs.
If anyone has any other remedies they have tried or heard of that work, I'd love to know what they are?
I have also looked for information on the complete blood panel results when the tumour is a hemangioma, not cancer, unsuccessfully.
I know there are those of you who would give chemo or have surgery to remove the spleen but I think it will not provide him with a better quality of life even if it does prolong his life.
Another thing I've wanted to know, is if either tumour is painful for the dog. Raggs does not appear to be in pain but I wonder if I'm just not seeing it.
Either way he has really grabbed my heart strings in the year I've had him, and I'm am really hoping that my vet is wrong and the liver I've added to his diet will help him live a lot longer than she forecast of one day up to a month but no longer.

"Please do not breed or buy while shelter pets are left to die"
I'm sorry to hear about Rags, dbg10
We've had a dog with hemangiosarcoma--we had a positive diagnosis because the cancer had spread to his lungs. I'm not sure they can tell from just blood work weather it's a hemangiosarcoma or a benign hemangioma, though.
Either condition leads to blood loss through internal bleeding, though. Our dog never showed any discomfort from the condition, although because of the lung involvement, his breathing was impacted his last couple of days. But the primary tumor didn't seem to cause him pain.
Because he's anemic, Rags might feel tired, but anemia isn't usually a painful condition, either.
It's been some years since we had experience with hemangiosarcoma. Maybe there are different treatments now, but back then the only treatment option was surgery to remove the primary tumor before it burst and bled out. If the surgery is successful and the tumor proved to be a hemangioma, then the dog was 'cured'. If it was hemangiosarcoma, it would likely recur somewhere else in the body.
What terrible timing for you, right before the holidays Whatever you decide, you're in my thoughts and prayers, dbg10!

Thanks Hazelrunpack I really appreciate your prayers.
They now use chemo as well as surgery depending on whether the tumour has metastasized or not.
My vet is against surgery due to his previous blood work a year ago that showed his platelet count was low (indication of how well his blood will clot). Actually it was a little weird because the previous year he had blood work done with the same normal ranges where the platelet count was much lower than it was when my vet did it in January 2010. I found it strange that it had increased (for the better) but he was living in a boarding kennel then.
She also doesn't think an ultrasound is necessary, though it might prove what he has, because he has that lump on his upper abdomen at the level of his spleen. I wonder about whether I should have the ultrasound done, but I read that an ultrasound won't necessarily show the difference between a hemangioma and hemangiosarcoma. The only diagnostic test to confirm which one it is, is a surgical biopsy or removal of his spleen. Since she doesn't think he'll live through the surgery, I don't want to take the chance.
The only thing I thought might help was to try to treat his anemia so that any small bleed will not necessarily kill him. I know when he has the massive bleed out it will be the end.
Yes it is the worst possible timing for this news, especially when I thought we were going for the injury to his paw and might find a broken bone in his foot. I had noticed that his gums were pale but hoped it was the way I was looking at him at the time.
The other bad thing is my vet is now away until after New Years and I might have to take him to a strange vet.
I forgot to mention that we increased the amount of Metacam he is getting as well, to reflect his weight gain over the last few months. He is also on a glucosame/chondroitin/MSM daily with his food and has been since I got him in January.
I am just trying to prolong his life as long as he has no pain by treating what I can. If anyone has any other ideas for supplements that might help I'd love to hear about them. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and praying that he doesn't have something that will end his life in the next month.
BTW: my avatar pic of Raggs was taken yesterday and shows how happy he is.

I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis
There is a hemangiosarcoma link in this cancer thread that might be helpful:
There is an herb that is supposed to help stop bleeding that some have used, the antibiotic doxycycline has been used to prevent the formation of new blood vessels to the tumor.
Is the vet sure that there isn't a tick disease - the blood profile and enlarged spleen can be found in both. When my boy had low plat, lower red blood cell count and an enlarged spleen, the ultrasound showed no tumor, just a "generous spleen". Of course, if this is related to this fatty tumor you mention, then it wouldn't be tick related.
I had a dog with splenic hemangioma. It was very difficult. She was 10 years old and became ill very suddenly. The ER vet did the Xrays and ultrasound and told us there was a very large mass in the spleen. We were told it was frequently cancer. My little dog was at the point of the organ rupturing (pale gums, the spleen was "seeping"). We did the surgery and it bought us an extra year with our girl. Biopsies didn't show cancer, but the entire organ wasn't examined. This is a brutal surgery. Removing the spleen causes something to happen with the cardiac enzymes. Tipper, my little Scottie, was in ICU care for several days to monitor her heart, which was causing problems. We did the surgery because it was either that or put her to sleep. She was critical at the time. I know another Scottie owner who's dog died in recovery from the heart complications.
I know you have opted not to do surgery. I just wanted you to know that the recovery, if the dog survives surgery is very hard. My little dog took weeks to get her strength back and then without her spleen, her immune system broke down and she had random, bizarre infections her last year (UTIs constantly, hepatitis, etc.)
Tipper was a pudgy little Scottie at around 28-30 pounds. When she had her surgery, the spleen was the size of a 16-20 ounce soda bottle--it weighed over a pound. It was so engorged, it was pressing on other organs and she wasn't comfortable. I was told that her condition was one that was indicative of trauma, but she was a pampered little house dog, so no trauma. We don't know what caused this, but it is devastating.
Make your decisions for Ragg's best interest and please don't second-guess yourself. It is a horrible surgery. Tipper did get cancer later on. Chemo treatments for my Tipper's bladder cancer destroyed her kidneys and she died from kidney failure. As one who tried the chemo route, I have to say I wish I hadn't done this part.
I'm so sorry for this diagnosis. It is so hard. I will keep Raggs in my prayers and ask for strength for you as well.
It is hard for me to talk about this. I miss my little Tipper so much still.
I don't have any advice, but wanted to give you some and a great big

Thank you all for your support and hand holding during this awful time. Raggs spent the day yesterday lying in his bed until the evening and then came to watch TV with me as he does every night. I was a little worried that he was so inactive but today he is bright and cheery and jumped up to lie beside me at the computer. Maybe he needed that day of rest. At least he's still holding his own. Also to me his gums look a little less pale. I didn't think the liver would work that fast, but maybe it's just me hoping they will 'pink up'.
@maxalisa thanks for the link, there is a lot of information there. I found some other info on dog cancer especially where it relates to diet. One of the diets I found was posted by the Veterinary Information Network, so I think it may be better than the other diets I found but they are all quite similar.
@ Scottidog thanks for the information about your Tipper please accept my condolences on your loss. I read about Tipper the other day when I was looking for info on the forum. I am sure you still miss her. I know I miss every one I've lost even if I've adopted a new one. I do intend to make my decisions based on what's best for Raggs. I know if he starts to go downhill and/or shows he's in pain I'll take him in to be euthanized.
I have issues with chemo for people, as a nurse I have seen far too many people spend the end of their lives with very few quality days when they are receiving chemo. As for giving it to an animal, unless I was absolutely certain it would be curative, I wouldn't even think of subjecting a pet to it. But that is my opinion only. I would never discourage someone from giving their pet chemo because each situation is different.
@L4H I really appreciate your
@hazel thanks. He has been the love of my life since he set foot in my home in January 2010. Because he is a beagle X I was hoping he'd last longer than a year. It will be extremely hard for my adult son and I to lose him, he is a fabulous dog.
Yes I am praying he lasts until she gets back because I know she'll come to the house to euth him when it's necessary. I'm just hoping I don't find him gone one morning or anytime for that matter because I honestly don't know what I'll do if he dies at home thought that would probably be best for him. Anyone know what you do with an animal that dies at home?
Thanks everyone, I need all the support I can get to get through this one. It is almost as bad as when I had to have my first dog PTS after having her 14 1/2 years, Raggs has really wormed his way into our hearts

"Please do not breed or buy while shelter pets are left to die"
When my girl died at home, when I was ready, I brought her to the vet later that day to be cremated.
Regarding chemo, and you may very well know this, but even in animals, I think it can be curative in the blood cancers, as in humans. For many of these cancers, I'm a huge believer in IP6, though I don't know about hemangio. Since the symptoms of this cancer are so similar to tick diseases, and doxy helps with these cancers, that's one drug that always makes sense to me for this cancer.
I think that diet and a good supplement program can help so much with quality, and sometimes quantity of life in these situations - am hoping for the best for you guys!
Thanks Maxalisa I appreciate your information. I have chosen for the time being to restrict his diet and add supplements. The diet I've chosen or more to the point designed has very few carbohydrates, high protein and relatively high fat. Apparently this combination tends to reduce the proliferation of the cancer cells. He seems to be getting a little stronger, and is still happy and behaving normally even fighting with the cats and reminding them who's boss. Right this minute he's in his bed pouting because I am late going to watch TV and he will come out as he always does as soon as I sit down in front of the TV. So I'd best get offline and do what he wants
With my vet away until next week I'm just trying to do what I can until then.
Thanks again for all the support

"Please do not breed or buy while shelter pets are left to die"
Awww crud dbg, I just read this. I am so sorry you are going through this. Are you doing the liver raw? I know when I was giving Brownie his liver every day he loved it raw. When he got to the point where he wouldn't do the raw any more I cooked it very lightly in the microwave for a few seconds. It got him interested in eating it again. I figured liver, like any other foods once it is cooked, loses some of its' nutrients.
Again, I am sorry. Many coming yours and Raggs' way.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Thanks 14+ I really appreciate your support.
I have been cooking the chicken liver because he does not seem to respond to the strong smell of raw liver. I stuck it under his nose and he backed away from it so I figured I'd go with cooked and so far so good. I definitely agree with you that raw would be better for maximum nutrient uptake.
He seems to be stronger every day. He is spending more time than usual in his bed, but I think he now finds it more comfortable there with the breeze from the air vents blowing on him. He has demanded to go outside the last two days to relieve himself which I had been preventing him from doing because of his sore front paw. ( he has to go down 4 stairs to get outside). (I have pee pads all over the house for him to use, which he has been) He is still limping occasionally but is definitely ok when he goes out and climbs the stairs to get back in. He seems interested in everything going on in the house more than he was and is telling the cats who's boss on a regular basis. So I definitely see an improvement in him. His gums appear a little pinker, but maybe that's my imagination.
He is more than happy to eat and drink and have treats and is behaving normally more than he was. So maybe we got past the worst for now keeping my fingers crossed, anyway.
The diet I've designed is based on an anticancer diet I found online written by the Veterinary Information Network for dogs with cancer and I've added a few items mentioned on other anti-cancer sites for dogs. I'm not sure if I should post it here unless others want to know what it is.
Anyway the good news is he is holding his own

Glad to hear he's doing so well, dbg. I'd be interested in your anticancer diet if you're willing to post. You hope you never need it, but knowledge is power and it's nice to have alternatives if the need arises.

I'm happy to hear that Raggs is showing improvement and hope it continues.
I also think you should post the diet and I think most folks would like to see it as well.
Thanks Hazel and Rainbow I will post it. I am still playing with the amounts and a few of the ingredients.
I started by reading everything I could about treating dog cancer with diet alone. I came to the conclusion that there were a multitude of options but the essentially boiled down to a diet that was high in protein, high in fat especially omega 3 oils and low in simple carbohydrates but complex carbs at a minimum were ok. I also knew that I had to treat his anemia if he was going to make it through another spontaneous bleed that my vet said would occur eventually.
So I started with foods that would raise his hemoglobin in his iron deficient state. Liver was the first thing that came to mind.
So then I decided to put together a diet of many of the things I had found online that were contained in the recommended cancer diets for dogs.
Don't ask my why because I honestly don't know, I started with a very small amount of his original dry food which is Pro Plan Select Senior Natural Turkey and Barley Formula about 1/4 cup of it. I'm also adding about 1/5 of a large can of Pedigree choice cuts with the gravy for taste.
I was already giving him rice from the episode of vomiting he'd had the week before he hurt his foot but I reduced the amount.
So here is his diet
I think he finds the diet a little rich because he eats it over several hours but always cleans the bowl in the end.
Raggs wasn't at all impressed with raw liver or raw beef so I decided to cook the meat. He has shown more strength every day and is definitely staying involved in the animal and people families. I also received the results of his blood work today in the mail so here it is. My vet said it is consistent with either a hemangioma or hemangiosarcoma though it could also indicate a severe infection. She doesn't think it's a severe infection because he has no fever and is still more than willing to eat. I am a nurse and know what these blood results mean in humans, not animals. In case anyone can read the results properly or can hazard a guess at what they mean, here are the blood work results:
About Raggs's diet there are several websites where I found information that had similarities so they are where I got the most info for designing his diet.

According to his website Dr. Demian Dressler, DVM is apparently known as the "dog cancer vet".
Thanks everyone for all the support, I certainly need it while trying to help Raggs.
If anyone has any comments on the diet, please let me know. If you think I am doing something wrong, I would really like to know that too.
I want to do what's best for Raggs with the idea of helping him live the longest possible life in quality and comfort.

"Please do not breed or buy while shelter pets are left to die"
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance." -Will Durant
For an anti-cancer diet, I would nix all processed food. I wouldn't generally recommend the Pro Plan or the Pedigree, and definitely not for an anti-cancer diet. I don't have the ingredients handy right now, but those brands generally have a lot of filler.
I would nix the white rice too, and would use a base of steamed veggies. Others that I know would use a raw diet, but my dogs generally have had too weak of digestive systems to tolerate raw.
I'm guessing that the sardine adds a tiny bit of omega-3 fatty acids, but overall, any additional amounts would be good - particularly DHA. Fish or algae based.
With that blood profile, I would treat with doxycycline. Hard to distinguish between hemangio and infection. If you. Search Dressler's site you will find a couple of blog entries on using doxy to fight cancer, hemangio also. So it kills two birds with one stone.
Some dogs are real sensitive to oils, and you can induce pancreatitis, so you have to be careful. My girl was very sensitive, and I couldn't add much of oils. I did give her a lot of fresh ground flax seeds. Budwig's flax oil and cottage cheese protocol is very powerful.
Fighting cancer is so tough, you are fighting the good fight, and all the additions that you have made are definitely making him feel good. Hope all is still well on your end.
Thanks Luckypenny, I believe that too. I'm just hoping I get a little more time to love him
Thanks Maxalisa for your comments about his diet. I included rice because it is in several of the dog cancer diets I found especially in the ones posted by the Veterinary Information Network. Complex carbohydrates are recommended in dog cancer diets because they do not feed the cancer.
When I adopted him I experimented with a number of both dry and wet foods ranging from the best and most natural to the mediocre and he was very difficult to please. He had been eating grocery store food for 12 years and I had trouble getting him to accept anything better than that. I finally found he would eat Pro Plan Select Senior which was the best food I could get him to eat and because he was severely underweight at the time my main aim was to get him to eat a reasonably acceptable food. Pedigree choice cuts I used to flavour and moisten his food only and that was what he had been given for most of his life as a wet food. Now the cancer diet is something totally different and he eats it over several hours. I think it may be too rich for him and that's why he takes so long to eat it. He also likes company when he's eating.
Sardines and pure virgin olive oil have some of the highest levels of B12 and other B's, omega 3's, selenium and all the nutrients recommended in the cancer diets. They also are included in the cancer diets I found from the VIN. Nutrtients in Sardines and Nutrients In Extra Virgin Olive Oil
I also read that using a lot of veggies in his diet would probably cause diarrhea. I don't want to stress him in any way so I have not added any veggies. Instead he gets the multivite/mineral tabs yogurt, an egg etc. The amount of processed food he is getting is limited to the 2 tbsp of gravy from the Pedigree can and the 1/4 cup of pro plan.(normal for his weight is 2 1/2 cups a day). The first thing he eats when he goes to his dish is the Pro Plan and Pedigree chunks of meat so I am not sure if he'd eat any of the diet if I removed them completely.
I'm not saying the diet I've put together is perfect, probably far from it, but I have taken into account the fact he is 13 years old and is a finicky eater at the best of times. I probably should add some veggies to it, but he hasn't wanted any I've offered him before he got sick so I doubt if he'll eat them now. I was surprised he didn't like carrots because all of my previous dogs loved them.
I discussed the use of antibiotics with my vet before she left on holidays and she said if it were a severe infection then he would have a fever, other abnormal blood work and other signs to indicate infection. She said the lab results as they are don't indicate an infection because his WBC's are much too high without the other tests being abnormal. I will discuss doxycycline with her again when she returns.
The one thing I keep thinking is that if he hadn't hurt his leg/paw/elbow I wouldn't have taken him to the vet and heard the bad news. The other thing that crosses my mind is how long he's had the lump on his chest/abdomen and that it appears to be very slow growing unless it is growing inside as well. So maybe, just maybe he will live a month or more but I'm not under any illusions that I am right and my vet is wrong.
I really appreciate all of your help and support, I re-evaluate everything I'm doing when I hear alternatives and some of the ideas are excellent and I may introduce them a little at a time.
Happy New Year to one and all!!

"Please do not breed or buy while shelter pets are left to die"
The o-3's, also according to the link, should be about 9,000 mg. Olive oil is primarily O-9, and sardines are high in O-3's, but not that high. I believe that striving for high doses of the good oils is where some dogs get in trouble - trouble with fats more than protein, but that's the dosage that's called for in that diet.
Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans also add fiber to the diet. I have fed primarily a meat and vegetable diet for over 10 years no (no grains or potatoes) and the vegetables are really only a problem where there are weird allergies. I like the Normandy mix from Costco and I use a vegetable steamer, but I have too pick out the carrots, my boy is allergic.
You're right though, the important thing is that he eat the diet and it is working for him. I might first try adding the beef with no rice to his kibble and see if the works. That little extra of kibble that you are giving already has the carbs to offset the meat. Then, add the super veggies. Again, I worry about the oils, and too many oils, particularly without extra digestive enzymes, might be making him feel ill. You'll have to mess with it, and see how he feels. Keep an eye on the firmness of the stomach - if it's real tense and firm, that can often be inflammation. My girl would get this with oils.
I see now why you are making the choices you are, knowing his history best, and his quirks. I hope that he surprises you and all of us.

I noted that statement in the diet about the fact that you needed a huge amount of O-3's to be practical to add to a diet and you shouid get it from other sources like kibble. The vitamin/mineral supplement I'm giving him gives him some additional O-3's. So far he's doing well with the diet, no extra trips outside except yesterday when it was snowing, he loves snow. I've kept an eye on the tenseness of his belly and his poops to make sure they are formed with no signs of diarrhea. He seems comfortable and anxious to be fed. He's also demanding his treats at the usual time. So far so good, the diet may not be completely balanced but I am trying the best I can to stick to that diet. The veggies are not going over well at all, but I have slipped a small amount in mixed with the sardines and I'm trying to add more each day. He is such a finicky eater though and very aware of any additions. He goes off and pouts with his back to me when I add something he doesn't like. It is hilarious, but he is so stubborn he doesn't back down or later start to eat what I've given him, he just refuses to eat the meal. I now give in and make him another meal after a few hours because I think it better that he eats, than not. We have gone through this since I adopted him, if I give him something he doesn't like. A few times I waited overnight but he still didn't eat the food he didn't like. It's like having a 2 yr old child again LOL
Thanks for asking hazel I appreciate it. The last few days he seems stronger than he was and his gums are pinking up. He has gone back to his usual behaviours (or misbehaviours) and has been barking at the cats and preventing them from getting at his treats or food which was his usual game.When I put his food down for him he usually lies about a foot away for about 15 minutes and waits til a cat heads toward the dish and then barks at them and chases them away. He is also more active and has been insisting on going outside to relieve himself (he has to go down and up 4 stairs both in and out). His limp is limited to an occasional slight limp when he's been really active. He seems better, but I still have to remember his blood work was very abnormal and though I may have improved his hemoglobin and anemia status, I doubt I've done much for the cancer. It's hard to tell I notice his hind end is stronger since I increased the dose of metacam to reflect his increased weight. I think I mentioned in one of my posts that there was a little drainage from his right elbow and after that he didn't seem to limp any more so I assume that is where his injury was though there was nothing obvious when I took him to the vet.
For those of you who believe as I do that "things always happen in three's" I am still waiting for the third thing. One of my gf's had her 10 yr old cat die in her arms last week and the second gf had a second surgery on her cat for cancer and the wound didn't heal so they had to put her cat down the other day after trying palliative application of healing cream to the open incision for several weeks to get the wound to heal.
I'm just keeping my fiinger's crossed that he lives longer than he was given when he was diagnosed 2 weeks ago. At least he's getting a super diet and everything he could ever want in his last few weeks and I'm doing everything I can to keep him alive.
Thanks all

for you and Rags.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Just checking in to send my best....
My last two posts were via phone, and sometimes I am terse, or don't get a good overview when I am posting that way...hope none of it came off the wrong way.
Good to hear that he has some misbehaviour coming out - always a good sign!
Sending lots more for you and Raggs.
Thanks everyone. I never noticed Maxalisa You will be happy to know that he is po'd at me tonight because we went out and left him alone for 2 hours. He is lying with his back end to me ..pouting. Also I took a chance tonight and ordered another bottle of his metacam - the 100ml bottle which will last 53 days. I'm just hoping he lasts that long to use it. My vet gave me the choice of the 32 ml bottle that lasts 17 days or the 100 ml bottle so I've taken the chance with a lot of hope and prayer.

I've been checking in for updates. Know that you and your sweetie Raggs are in my thoughts.
Thanks for thinking about us Scottiedog The only things I notice that are not particularly good is the hairless bump/tumour on his abdomen is slightly larger and has shifted slightly to the side of midline. However, it has not changed colour and is still pink. He does have rapid breathing but doesn't appear to be more rapid than it has been for the last 6 months or so.
He has also insisted on going outside frequently and I was worried about this, but my son went out to see what he was doing last night and he was rolling around in the snow in the back yard.
So far so good. If he makes it until Tuesday he will have been with us 1 year and I'm praying he lasts longer than that

National Register of Historic Places Program:
Poloa Defensive Fortifications,
Poloa, American Samoa
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.
The Poloa Defensive Fortifications is located along the coast at the village of Poloa in western Tutuila, The largest island in American Samoa. During World War II three defensive fortifications were built here to defend the island from possible Japanese attack. The 2nd Marine Brigade landed at Pago Pago, American Samoa, on January 23, 1942, to defend the vital island and keep open the supply link with Australia, an American ally also at war with the Japanese The Japanese, having conquered Guam, the Wake Island and Gilbert island, and invading the Philippines, Burma, Thailand, Java and New Britain, remained a threat to American Samoa until they were defeated in the Battle of the Coral Sea (May 7-9, 1942) and the Battle of Midway (June 4-7, 1942). Following these battles, American Samoa became an Advanced Jungle Warfare Training Center for replacements and reinforcements of Marine Corps units being forwarded to amphibious operations in the Solomon and Gilbert Islands, and elsewhere.

Sundance Movie Makers and Movie Goers Ditch Gluten Filled Foods for Gluten Free Goodness from Udi's
Udi's Gluten Free - the Gluten-Free Category Leader in North America - Returns to Sundance Film Festival with Pop-Up Restaurant, Dinner Series and After-Parties
Jan 21, 2013, 08:05 ET
DENVER, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year in a row, Udi's Gluten Free Foods – the gluten-free category leader in the U.S. – served up delicious gluten-free fare for attendees of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Celebrities, filmmakers and other Hollywood tastemakers were treated to gourmet dishes at Udi's Gluten Free Table – an original pop-up restaurant – as well as popular venues like the Miami Oasis Lounge, Next Generation Dinner Series and Westway After-Parties.
Udi's expanded presence at this year's festival is in keeping with continued growth of the gluten-free lifestyle, led by health-focused Hollywood. More than 1,000 guests, including prominent stars like Julianne Moore, supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio and actress Jane Lynch, attended Udi's Sundance events and dined on innovative, cold-weather favorites made gluten free, such as gourmet grilled cheeses, flatbreads and warm chocolate chip cookies.
"Building relationships with Hollywood tastemakers at Sundance gives Udi's the chance to exchange trend-setting ideas and stay at the forefront of the gluten-free movement," said Denise Sirovatka, Udi's vice president of marketing. "The growing number of gluten-free celebrities here exemplify what it means to live a full, happy, gluten-free life as you travel, ski, work and still remain health conscious. Udi's helps make that possible for movie stars and moviegoers alike by providing delicious gluten-free options."
Rosemarie DeWitt, Jennifer Coolidge and Allison Janney all stopped by for a bite of Udi's during Sundance, and said they keep their pantries stocked with the gluten-free goodies. The growth of the gluten-free movement among the celebrity set is mirrored by the more than 21 million U.S. households eating gluten free. Between 2004 and 2010, the gluten-free category in the U.S. grew by 28 percent, and projections indicate an estimated 16 percent increase from 2010-2015, making it a $5.5 billion-dollar industry.1
Udi's revolutionized the gluten-free category in the U.S. by introducing the first mainstream gluten-free bread that tastes and looks like "real" bread. Udi's success is built on strong communication with the gluten-free community and a commitment to creating foods, including breads, bagels, muffins, tortillas and granola that have the taste and texture of conventional gluten-filled products.
Udi's Gluten Free Foods are available at national grocery stores and retailers and can be purchased online at www.udisglutenfree.com. All of Udi's baked goods are made in a 100 percent dedicated, certified gluten-free bakery located in Denver to prevent the risk of gluten cross-contamination.

Is anyone else aware of the possible Very Large Hadron Collider? How could they possibly make one bigger?
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
Quote from: Sota on September 13, 2008, 07:17:15 PMIs anyone else aware of the possible Very Large Hadron Collider? How could they possibly make one bigger?No, no. They are colliding "very large hadrons", duh.This will be superceded by the "Really quite large hardon collider", and then by the "My goodness these are large hardons collider" and finally by the "f**king huge hardon collider"
Did you mean to say "hardon" that entire time?
Quote from: Sota on September 14, 2008, 07:57:08 PMDid you mean to say "hardon" that entire time?Yes, of course. The Large Hardon Collider. MUCH more interesting physics going on there.

A North Carolina woman died after a crash Friday night on Interstate 95 at the entrance ramp from State Road 206.
Shirley Temple, 50, was sitting in her 1998 Saturn, which was facing east in the inside lane of I-95 after crashing. While two people tried to push her Saturn out of the roadway into the grass median, a Ford van crashed into the front of the Saturn, according to a Florida Highway Patrol release.
One person was hit by the Saturn as it spun around.
Temple was pronounced dead after she was taken to the Orange Park Medical Center. Two other people were taken to Flagler Hospital with minor injuries.
Temple was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the release.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Producer Joe in Drag in Nashville
On Friday after our live show with 102.9 The Buzz in Nashville, Producer Joe spent an hour and a half in the makeup chair being made into a woman for his latest stunt.
"The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show" wanted to send him out on the street dressed as a woman to see how easy it would be to pick up a man.
Everyone knows that it's easier for women to pick up men, right?!
When Joe first revealed himself to us after getting made up, to say that we were shocked would be a drastic understatement.
We will eventually have video posted of the entire stunt. Until then, this picture will have to hold you over!

DHAKA: Bangladesh's ruling party was leading in preliminary results Monday following one of the most violent elections in the country´s history, marred by street fighting, low turnout and a boycott by the opposition that has undermined the legitimacy of the vote.
On Monday, soldiers in combat gear patrolled streets with light traffic and most business remained closed. At least 18 people were killed in election-related violence as police fired at protesters and opposition activists torched more than 100 polling stations Sunday.
"We are passing our days in fear and anxiety. These two major parties don´t care about anything," said Abdur Rahman, an accountant and Dhaka resident. "Only Allah knows what is in store now for us."
The political feuding in this South Asian nation can be traced back decades, as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, the opposition leader, tussle for control over this country of 160 million. The country has been ruled by either of these women — both from powerful political families — for nearly 22 years.
The squabbling between the two women — known as the "Battling Begums" — is at the heart of much of the political drama. "Begum" is an honorific for Muslim women of rank.
A group of opposition parties, including the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, boycotted the election after Hasina refused to heed their demands to step down and appoint a neutral administration to oversee the polls. They say Hasina might rig the election if she stays in office, a claim she denies.
Opposition activists have staged attacks, strikes and transportation blockades in unrest that has killed at least 293 people since last year.
Given the opposition boycott, a win by the Awami League is not in doubt. But the problematic election raises pressure on the government to hold talks with the opposition.
The chaos could exacerbate economic woes in this deeply impoverished country and lead to radicalization in a strategic pocket of South Asia, analysts say.
Dhaka´s Daily Star newspaper described the polls as the deadliest in the country´s history, and said in an editorial that the Awami League won "a predictable and hollow victory, which gives it neither a mandate nor an ethical standing to govern effectively."
But the editorial also was critical of the opposition´s role in fueling violence.
"Political parties have the right to boycott elections. They also have the right to motivate people to side with their position. But what is unacceptable is using violence and intimidation to thwart an election," the newspaper said.
According to preliminary election results, the Awami League party was leading the election for the 300-seat Parliament with 232 seats, well above the 151 seats needed for a majority to form a new government.
Because of the opposition boycott, about half the seats were uncontested, allowing the Awami League to rack up many victories.
Turnout was only 22 percent, according to election officials who asked that their names not be used because the election is so politically sensitive.
As the political situation unravels, Bangladesh also is trying to emerge from suffocating poverty and reinvigorate its $20 billion garment industry. The industry has been rocked by a series of disasters, including a factory collapse in April that killed more than 1,100 workers. The deaths laid bare the harsh working conditions in an industry that employs 4 million Bangladeshis and provides clothing to major Western retailers. (AFP)

How Are Your Fruits Dried?
Dried products are a practical way to introduce real fruits into many products, but consider the drying technique.
The effort to get consumers to include more fruits and vegetables in their diets presents food manufacturers with a challenge, due to the perishable nature of fresh produce. Luckily, a concurrent boom in variety, availability and demand for dried fruits and vegetables provides the perfect solution to processors.
It's no secret fruits and vegetables are healthy and contain a wide variety of disease-fighting compounds. Yet consumers still aren't eating enough to achieve national objectives for consumption. Current USDA recommendations call for up to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. For most adults, that's about two cups of fruit and two and half cups of vegetables.
"Our customers want to make a claim about 'real blueberries,' not blueberry flavor and, if possible, to report how much of a serving of the fruit a consumer gets in the product," says Irv Dorn, sales manager for Van Drunen Farms (www.vandrunenfarms.com), Momence, Ill. "Being able to claim antioxidants also is becoming very important."
The Produce for Better Health Foundation (www.5aday.com) encourages Americans to consider all forms of fruits and vegetables -- fresh, frozen, canned and dried -- in order to meet national recommendations. "Every little bit of fruit you eat in a day counts," says Kathy Hoy, nutrition research manager at Produce for Better Health, "even dried fruit in cereal or trail mix."
Fresh fruit provides juicy flavor and fresh taste, yet dried fruit offers convenience and shelf stability. Both are healthy, but if consumers are having a tough time getting enough fruit in their diet, dried fruit, popping up in more and more convenience foods, may provide opportunities for greater consumption.
According to Produce for Better Health, a serving of dried fruit is one-fourth of a cup compared to one-half cup of canned or fresh fruit. The nutrient value of dried fruit, though not directly equivalent to fresh, comes extremely close depending on the type of fruit and the method of drying.
Methods of drying
There is a lack of scientific evidence quantifying the nutrient retention of fruits after drying, probably due in part to the varying chemical structure of fruits. Because fruits contain so many different nutrients and compounds, isolating them and comparing them across the board is challenging and expensive in comprehensive research studies. Despite some concern, health experts agree there is still great value in eating dried fruit, no matter how it is processed.
"We drum dry, air dry, spray dry, freeze dry," says Dorn. "Freeze drying retains the most color, flavor and shape as well as nutrients. And if a customer wants a 100-percent natural or organic product, freeze-drying is probably best because no additional ingredients are introduced. But freeze-drying also is the most expensive."
"Drum-drying dries fruit at high pressures and temperatures and can remove nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Freeze-drying leaves all of these important items in the product," agrees Jim Merryman, senior vice president at Oregon Freeze Dry Inc. (www.ofd.com), Albany, Ore.
The freeze-drying method of fruit offers processors a number of solutions with minimal drawbacks. Freeze-drying produces fruit that has low moisture content, a long shelf life, less weight and maintains its nutrient integrity. When rehydrated, freeze-dried fruit takes on its original form and taste.
"One of the biggest drawbacks to freeze-dried fruits is they get so dry they pull moisture right out of the air and will get soft over time if not protected from moisture," says Merryman. Other concerns include the expense and energy consumption associated with freeze-drying.
"High energy consumption is part of the reason freeze-drying technology hasn't been applied in many other areas of food manufacturing," says Angela Liu, president and founder of Crispy Green Inc. (www.crispygreen.com), a West Orange, N.J., manufacturer of dried fruit snacks. "On the other hand, the process yields a product that is a close equivalent to fresh fruit, and that's what consumers are looking for."
According to Liu, some fruits are more amenable to freeze-drying, depending on the cell structure of the fruit. For instance, apples will hold their structure when air dried, while peaches won't. Peaches hold their shape and texture better when freeze-dried.
Graceland Fruit Inc. (www.gracelandfruit.com), Frankfort, Mich., uses the infusion method to process a long list of dried fruits and vegetables. The process involves soaking fruit in a medium such as sugar. Heat is added to allow the water to migrate out and the medium to set in. Infused fruit has a shelf life of 12 months.
"Compared to sun-dried fruit, infused fruit is more shelf-stable," says Suzi Mills, marketing and public relations director for Graceland. "Sun-dried fruit is chewier while infused fruit has a soft and moist mouthfeel and a full flavor profile."

These charges raise claims under state and local laws prohibiting employment discrimination as well as the federal laws enforced by the EEOC. FEPA and TERO offices for the area covered by this office are listed below.
