The Vibe for Fall 2011:
This season it's less of the bold patterns and colors you expect from Etro and instead the boldness is all in the textured fabricshoundstooth and herringboneof the British Isles, as well as those softer browns and camels found there. And Etro being Etro, there's still plenty that's new, like very slim cut pants on the suits, and pony skin for full cut coats.

Heart of Palmby Laura Lee Smith
Synopses & Reviews
"Independence Day is a turning point for the Bravo family of small-town Utina on Florida's Intracoastal Waterway. It's the day they must consider a multimillion-dollar offer for the formerly backwoods, now valuable, land surrounding the family restaurant and their adjacent home. For the contentious brood's matriarch, 62 — year-old Arla, the deal would mean ending the reclusive life she's led since her feckless husband Dean decamped two decades ago. For her emotionally volatile daughter, Sofia, it would mean losing her home. For Carson, the eldest son, the windfall could cover the Ponzi scheme he's been running out of his St. Augustine investment firm, while for middle son Frank, the restaurant manager, it might mean a new beginning with Carson's wife, Elizabeth. For all of them, accepting the offer would involve leaving the place where the youngest brother, Will, died tragically 20 years ago on July 4, the victim of his father's irresponsibility and his brothers' jealousy. The Bravos, once notorious Utina badasses, find their adult ties of guilt and regret beginning to frazzle as long-dormant resentments emerge. Smith's debut novel exudes authenticity as she chronicles the lives of her 'Southern Crackers,' mired in bad behavior and feelings of inferiority. She turns a phrase with wit, especially when good old boys discuss football (the Florida Gators) and sex. Like a long hot summer, the plot meanders through daily events and combustible emotions, but gains depth with a prodigal's return, a wedding, a marital separation, two deaths (spoiler alert: one is a dog), a sibling brawl, a botched shooting, and a surprising final twist. Writing with agility and empathy, Smith ends this atmospheric family saga on a note of reconciliation and forgiveness. Agent: Judith Weber, Sobel Weber Associates." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Intelligence, heart, wit . . . Laura Lee Smith has all the tools and Heart of Palm is a very impressive first novel."—Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls
Utina, Florida, is a small, down-at-heels southern town. Once enlivened by the trade in Palm Sunday palms and moonshine, Utina hasnt seen economic growth in decades, and no family is more emblematic of the local reality than the Bravos. Deserted by the patriarch years ago, the Bravos are held together in equal measure by love, unspoken blame, and tenuously brokered truces.
The story opens on a sweltering July day, as Frank Bravo, dutiful middle son, is awakened by a distress call. Frank dreams of escaping to cool mountain rivers, but hes only made it ten minutes from the family restaurant he manages every day and the decrepit, Spanish-moss-draped house he was raised in, and where his strong-willed mother and spitfire sister—both towering redheads, equally matched in stubbornness—are fighting another battle royale. Little do any of them know that Utina is about to meet the tide of development that has already engulfed the rest of Northeast Florida. When opportunity knocks, tempers ignite, secrets are unearthed, and each of the Bravos is forced to confront the tragedies of their shared past.
Reminiscent of Kaye Gibbons, Lee Smith, Anne Tyler, and Fannie Flagg, Heart of Palm introduces Laura Lee Smith as a captivating new voice in American fiction.
"Like a sandspur, Heart of Palm sticks with you, drawing blood."--Rita Mae Brown, author of The Sand Castle
Laura Lee Smith masterfully creates a deep, compassionate, and often heartbreakingly funny portrait of a wild, complex Southern family on the brink of massive change . . . . Smith is a brilliant writer, and Heart of Palm brims with lush vitality, loss, and desire."—Julianna Baggott, author of Pure and The Prince of Fenway Park
[An] incandescent debut novel . . . I cant get the astonishing and benighted Bravos out of my head. And I dont want to. What an extravagantly and engagingly flawed family this is! Smith is an enchanter casting her spell with lyrical prose, evocative details, and spellbinding characters. She explores familial chaos, reckless behavior, and hopeless love with grace, intelligence, and tenderness. She gives me what I long for in fiction: compassion and provocation. What talent, what nerve, what a wondrous and spellbinding story. Trust me, these Bravos will haunt your dreams."—John Dufresne, author of Requiem, Mass. and Louisiana Power and Light
About the Author

What about some financial innovation?
In the last three editions of the Business Guardian, the publication carried two-part contributions on the issue of innovation by Mary King and Gillian Marcelle/Keston Perry, along with a note from Mrs King last Sunday explaining the difference in the position she takes compared with Marcelle/Perry.
Ms King, of course, has laboured for a long time in the vineyard of promoting innovation in the local economy—but as I have explained to her privately on a number of occasions, it is difficult to have an innovative economy in a country in which the education system encourages learning by rote and which actually punishes innovation.
On the issue of T&T possessing a culture that punishes innovation, I pointed out to her in January that in this country we had the spectacle of an Attorney General pursuing a lawsuit against a UWI engineering professor who was attempting innovation in one of the few things that we are so proud to boast was created here.
I submitted to her that the fact that the UWI professor was "selected" by the PNM, but hounded and vilified by the PP demonstrated the fragility of her proposal for the selection of "bright, young people" who would "devote all their waking hours" to innovation in a "centre of excellence."

Video: Verstappen crashes during F1 demo
Recently-signed 2015 Toro Rosso driver Max Verstappen suffered a minor crash during his public F1 debut at the VKV City Racing event in Rotterdam today. The 16-year-old was driving an RB8 in a Toro Rosso livery during a demonstration in Rotterdam earlier today when he got stuck close to a barrier while performing donuts for the crowd. Just seconds after the car was recovered, he hit the wall – albeit at a slow speed – and damaged the front wing. Verstappen will become the youngest ever Formula 1 driver when he lines up on the grid next year at the age of just 17. He completed a private test in a Red Bull RB8 at Rockingham last week and is set to participate in several free...

Nintendo play down new DS talk
Yesterday, Japanese newspaper Nikkei was quoted widely as stating that a revision of the Nintendo DSi is on the way to Japan - sporting a larger 4-inch display.
Despite reports that this enlarged and somewhat spruced-up system will be out before the end of the year - Nintendo have played down such talk, declining to comment on "rumour".
"Our company isn't doing any interviews [about this]," Famitsu were told (thanks Kotaku). "We think it's a speculative article."
The article in question also discussed the possibility of special versions of the handheld being released in China and Korea, although details are once again flaky. We'll have more on this for you as we get it.

Hi: 16° Lo:6°
Friday 25 January 2013 Updated: 28/01 10:10
THE money paid to foster parents are set to rise as part of efforts to find more people to give homes to children in care.
Fees and maintenance payments will go up by between two and five per cent from April.
It will mean the minimum fee any person will receive for fostering a child will be £139.37.
General allowances for a child aged up to four will jump to £262.68 while the allowance for a young person aged between 16 and 18 will increase to £453.06.
Holiday allowance will also rise as part of the move from between £394.02 to £679.59 depending on the child's age.
Further changes will see friends and family weekly allowances brought into line.
Coun Jim O'Boyle, children and young people spokesman, said: "Some people may be surprised we are increasing fees and maintenance allowances at a time when the council is facing very tough financial pressures.
"But independent foster agencies are twice as costly as our own foster carers so it makes sense that we are as attractive as possible to reduce the amount we currently pay in the long run.
"These changes will move us towards a position to enhance and encourage more people to join our appeal to become a foster adopter."
Anyone interested in becoming a foster carer, or to adopt a child, should contact the council on 7683 2828.

GOOD Video: No More Pricetags on Our Presidents
This video is brought to you by GOOD, with the support of Ben & Jerry's
Did you know that the 2012 presidential campaigns have been the most expensive in the history of the world? Thanks to the Citizens United ruling in 2010, corporations have been allowed to use unlimited money resources to fund and influence initiatives that aren't always in the best interest of citizens. Huge political funding gives an unfair share of political clout to the haves, and not enough for the have-nots. And when it comes to the presidential election, neither candidate can afford to fall behind the other in financing when the stakes are so high.
The result? Regardless of who wins the 2012 election, the day our president takes office he's going to owe a lot of favors to corporate special interests. And that isn't right.
Last time we checked, America was a nation founded by and for the people, not political corporate interests. To take the price tags off our politicians, we need to take a stand against the Citizens United ruling. By coming together, we can take back our voices and get the dough out of politics.
Learn more about Citizens United at our videos exploring the issue (click above and here) and then go here to take action.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Tweet Widget Facebook Like Saudi authorities should free Hamza Kashgari and drop any charges against him based on comments he made on Twitter expressing his personal religious views. On the morning of February 12, 2012, Malaysian authorities deported Kashgari back to Saudi Arabia to face charges of apostasy there, hours before lawyers obtained a Malaysian High Court injunction against his deportation. (New York) - Saudi authorities should free Hamza Kashgari and drop any charges against him based on comments he made on Twitter expressing his personal religious views, Human Rights Watch said today. On the morning of February 12, 2012, Malaysian authorities deported Kashgari back to Saudi Arabia to face charges of apostasy there, hours before lawyers obtained a Malaysian High Court injunction against his deportation. Saudi Arabia's highest official clerics have declared Kashgari guilty of apostasy based on his now-deleted tweets and called for him to be put to death. "Malaysia had no business deporting Kashgari, and Saudi has no business prosecuting him for his tweets expressing his religious opinion, which it is his right to do freely," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "It is near certain he will not get a fair trial in Saudi Arabia, where religious scholars have concluded that he is guilty of apostasy and should be put to death." Kashgari fled Saudi Arabia, on February 6, to Malaysia, following popular outrage and calls for his punishment after he published a number of tweets expressing his religious views, which he has since deleted. Human Rights Watch has reviewed the alleged tweets and not found any language that could incite violence. The 23-year-old journalist, who wrote for Al-Bilad daily newspaper, has expressed regret for the tweets, saying he had no idea they would elicit such a strong negative reaction. Kashgari was preparing to seek political asylum in New Zealand in light of the likely death sentence he faces in Saudi Arabia for expressing his religious views. Saudi Arabia immediately sought his extradition from Malaysia, though the countries do not have a bilateral extradition treaty. Malaysian authorities denied Kashgari's lawyers access to him throughout his detention, and refused repeated requests by the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, for access to assess whether Kashgari wished to make a claim for political asylum. On February 12, Malaysian lawyers for Hamza Kashgari obtained an injunction against his deportation from a Malaysian High Court judge. When lawyers went to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to serve the injunction on the authorities there, Malaysian authorities informed them that they had sent Kashgari on a private plane to Saudi Arabia earlier in the day. Kashgari's lawyers were told by Immigration officers at the airport that the deputy inspector general of police was involved in putting Kashgari on the flight back to Saudi Arabia. Despite that fact, immigration authorities at the airport told Kashgari's lawyers that they had not officially recorded the details of the deportation. In light of the absence of a bilateral extradition treaty, it is unclear under what legal authority he was deported. "Malaysian officials held Kashgari incommunicado for days, refused requests from the UN refugee agency, and hid the deportation from his lawyers - hardly the actions of a rights-respecting government," said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution. Saudi courts have a dismal record of upholding a defendant's right to be presumed innocent and have found [several] people guilty of "apostasy" for expressing their religious opinions, Human Rights Watch said. In Kashgari's case, the General Presidency for Scientific Research and Religious Rulings, a sub-committee of the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Religious Scholars, appointed by the king as the highest authority on interpreting Islamic law, issued a statement on February 8, that religious scholars of all ages are "in consensus that whoever is a Muslim and mocks [God, his messenger (the Prophet Muhammad), or the book (the Quran)] is thereby an unbeliever who has turned away from Islam." In a media interview uploaded to YouTube on February 10, a member of the Council of Senior Religious Scholars, Dr. Salih bin Fawzan al-Fawzan, whose signature also appears on the statement, said in response to a question on Kashgari's case that, "Whoever insults God or his messenger is to be killed without being asked for repentance for this is his sentence that must be carried out on him." Hadi Al Mutif, another Saudi sentenced to death for apostasy over two words he uttered that judges deemed insulting to the prophet in 1993, was freed on February 8 after spending 18 years in jail, after the chief mufti, Abd al-'Aziz Al al-Shaikh, who is the head of the Council of Senior Religious Scholars, accepted his repentance. In a 2007 submission in Al Mutif's case to then-Chief Judge Shaikh Salih al-Luhaidan, Saudi human rights lawyer and Islamic law expert Abd al-Rahman al-Lahim laid out a number of considerations that would need to be determined before concluding that a person had committed apostasy. The Supreme Judicial Council at the time did not take those points into consideration while conducting a review at the time. Al-Lahim has said he is prepared to defend Kashgari in court. "It is appalling that one member of the UN Human Rights Council will likely attempt to impose the death penalty on a person for expressing his views, while another member of the Human Rights Council has deported him to face these absurd charges,"Whitson said.

Ballpark beer business stays strong, even when Giants are weak
Talk of the town
Send this to a friend
- Jim Gardner
The San Francisco Giants' pathetic start to what is expected to be a pathetic season has many people worried. That starts with fans and extends up to management, which fears a lot less meat in the seats if losing remains a habit. One person who's not worried: Dan Gordon.
Gordon is expecting another great year, but then, he has nothing to do with the Giants' pitching, hitting or fielding. He's all about the pouring: the Gordon Biersch Brewing Co. has supplied beer and garlic fries to the ballpark since 1994. So Gordon has seen good teams, bad teams and everything in between. No matter how the team fairs, he said at Opening Day this week, suds sales stay steady. Fans are either toasting their heroes' success, or drowning their sorrows. Either way, it's good.
"Beer is pretty constant, in a down year or in an up year," Gordon said. It's also fairly resistant to the vagaries of the economy, making it a good business to be in. And don't give Gordon grief over the price of a pint.
Gordon Biersch sells its kegs to Centerplate Inc., the concessionaire that prepares and sells food for the Giants. Centerplate and the Giants then mark up beer to make it profitable. This year, 20 ounce cups go for $8.75.
Gordon said he's pleased with his relationship with the Giants, regardless of the team's record. In addition to making money, selling beer at the ballpark is free advertising for his brewery and restaurants, he said.
But like any savvy businessman, Gordon knows about managing risk. He also sells beer to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres -- three Giants division rivals expected to win lots of games and draw big crowds this year.

The ballot: Maddux, Glavine, Biggio, Bagwell, Raines, Morris - he describes these six as easy votes. Then, he votes for Schilling, Mussina, Piazza, and Lee Smith. He also says he likes Frank Thomas a ton, a little more DH than he'd like, and that Thomas will probably make it this year, anyway - but if he doesn't, he'd be glad to vote for him next year.2. Ray K Posted: January 08, 2014 at 03:13 PM (#4633567)
He also says if he could, he would vote for Walker and McGriff.
He also puts Pedro, Randy Johnson, and Smoltz in his "new no-brainers for 2015". I am seeing Smoltz get lumped in with Martinez and Johnson a lot in these articles. Add to that the fact that Maddux, Glavine, and Cox all will get in this year, and I think we may be surprised at Smoltz's chances of getting 75% next year.
Not a bad ballot.3. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: January 08, 2014 at 03:20 PM (#4633601)
I wonder if any of the guys who cut Biggio so they could have someone like Raines, Edgar or Trammel on their ballot are regretting that decision now.4. John Northey Posted: January 09, 2014 at 04:07 PM (#4634884)
It'll be interesting to see how it affects the balloting next year, having Biggio come soooooo close. I suspect more strategic voting, namely voting for guys with a real shot at getting in, will occur even if the individual voter feels someone else is more qualified. Good for Biggio and Piazza, maybe good for Bagwell and Raines. Everyone else...watch out.5. toratoratora Posted: January 09, 2014 at 04:40 PM (#4634940)
FYI: for 2015's ballot by WAR you get Smoltz at #10 and #11 as Tim Raines. Biggio is #13, Piazza #16. Lee Smith, of course, is way down the list at #26. Interesting to see Tom Gordon on the ballot for next year. Also a deep relief core with Smith and Percival over 350 saves each plus 5 more with 100+.
For Jays fans seeing B.J. Ryan and Kelvim Escobar and David Weathers is interesting (Carlos Delgado we all hope sticks around awhile). Ryan was the waste of millions, Escobar was viewed as a mistake to let go (14.3 WAR once gone mainly in 2 very solid years), and Weathers was a very minor part of the 92 WS team before being drafted in the expansion draft by the Marlins.
Smoltz is so in next year.
Has a mainstream BBWAA writer ever said anything about him not being a HoF'er?
Not saying that it didn't happen,just that I certainly can't remember it. He's Curly to Maddux and Glavine's Larry and Moe, has the stats (I'm not saying that he's the best possible option, just that he has the credentials to make the hall), drips narrative, was a terrific postseason pitcher (He went 15-4 with a 2.67 ERA in 209 IP), was an integral part of a dynasty, has the whole "took one for the team by going to the BP."
Is he a first vote guy, especially on this ballot?
Not to me.
But the writers are putting him in pronto. My bet is 80%.
Don't be shocked if it's higher,either

Do you know what more the Thinkpad 10 can do?
I am a prolific note taker. In the years I have been in the IT industry, scribbling notes of one kind or another, doodling diagrams and sketching problems and solutions has been a primary method for how I work and think. To do this I have used hundreds of pens on thousands of notepads.
I had for a long time considered it would be ideal to be paperless and in mid 2011 a practical solution, the Android ThinkPad Tablet, presented itself. I purchased the tablet with the intention of it being a companion device to sit on my desk and come to meetings in order to capture my scrawled notes in a digital manner. This task the tablet performed exceptionally.
Within days of starting to use the tablet I discovered an increasing number of apps which would allow me to perform some of my daily tasks while away from my desk, RDP, email, 3rd Party support tools, and the ability to quickly and sometimes instantly incorporate notes and diagrams into documentation and paperwork.
Over the last few years the tablet was able to fulfill a number of unexpected roles including standing in as a softphone, a document scanner, a tool to consume training material and even entertainment on a long haul flight and many others. None of these things where in mind when I purchased the tablet in the first place.
Roll on to this year and the announcement of the ThinkPad 10. A device with more power, in all senses and a full Windows Professional operating system, on thinner lighter hardware. As soon as it was available I got my hands on one and have been in no way disappointed. It is already fulfilling all of my daily tasks and I'm finding I am carrying even more frequently than its Android older brother. The benefit to having conventional Windows applications as well as Windows 8 Apps and the added flexibility of much more simply running tasks and applications side by side has been immeasurable.
How much more useful the ThinkPad Tablet 10 is going to be over the next couple of years? I don't know, but I know for certain that it is currently my technological equivalent to a Swiss army knife.

India not expected to export sugar for up to three years
MUMBAI (Reuters) - India, the world's biggest sugar producer after Brazil, is unlikely to export the sweetener for up to three years as high production costs price shipments out of the global market and a drought in major growing regions squeezes output.
A lack of shipments from India, which exported sugar in the last two years, would support global prices now trading near 2-year lows on a world surplus estimated at about 8 million tonnes.
As the world's biggest consumer of sugar, India is a key player in the global market and shifting weather conditions can make it an exporter one year and significant importer the next.
India's imports in 2008/09 and 2009/10 drove a near tripling in global sugar prices, while its exports in subsequent years helped to halve prices from a 30-year high. The Indian sugar year runs from October 1 to September 30.
"Current prices are not viable for exports," Abinash Verma, director general of the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), told Reuters.
"As of now, no, we are not exporting. If the prices remain the same, then it will not be viable for us to export."
Indian sugar futures were trading at 3,156 rupees per 100 kg by 10:26 a.m., while in London May futures settled at $495.60 a tonne on Tuesday.

Global prices are likely to come under further pressure with new season sugar supplies starting in Brazil from April.
"For exports, India needs a sharp rise in global prices, which is unlikely," said a Mumbai-based dealer with a global trading firm, who declined to be named because he is not authorised to speak to the media.
"It is unlikely for India to become a sugar exporter in the next three years."
Also from April, domestic prices are set to spike as demand from bulk users such as makers of soft drinks and ice-cream peaks with the start of India's sweltering summer, said Vedika Narvekar, a senior analyst with Angel Commodities Broking.
India's annual sugar output could drop nearly 7 percent to 24.3 million tonnes in the year to September 2013, though this would still exceed domestic consumption of about 23 million, the ISMA estimates.
The higher domestic prices mean India is unlikely to find buyers overseas for its surplus sugar. In fact, mills have been importing raw sugar, drawn by lower overseas prices.
India is likely to import 1.5 million tonnes of sugar in the year to September 2013 and imports will continue next year unless import duty is hiked, sugar broker Kamal Jain said.
India sets a floor price that mills must pay farmers, which individual state governments can increase to ensure returns for a crop that takes around a year to mature.
For this season, the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India's second-biggest sugar producer, has raised by as much as 16 percent the price mills must pay for cane, while mills in top producer Maharashtra have agreed to pay nearly a fifth more after protests by farmers.
With a general election to be held by early 2014, mills will face pressure to raise cane prices again for the year starting from October 1, Narvekar said. Farmers are a key block of India's voters and moves to please them form part of election strategy.
Such pressures would further push up mills' prices to domestic wholesalers and bulk consumers.
"It is difficult for India to export even in coming years, due to higher production costs. If it rises, then ultimately mills can't sell sugar below a certain level," said Mukesh Kuvadia, secretary of the Bombay Sugar Merchants Association.
Western Maharashtra and the cane-producing states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are reeling from a harsh drought that could drive sugar production in the 2013/14 season below consumption for the first time in four years.
Such scarcity would give farmers the upper hand in negotiating cane prices with mills next year.
Cane supplies will remain tight even in 2014/15 as drought slashes planting and affects crops, said Balasaheb Patil, chairman of the Sahyadri Co-operative Sugar Mill in Maharashtra.

CRTC can't impose fee system on cable companies, top court rules
The CRTC does not have the authority to impose a value-for-signal plan under which television broadcasters would charge cable and satellite firms for their programming, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday.

OTTAWA—Canada's broadcast regulator does not have the authority to impose a value-for-signal plan under which television broadcasters would charge cable and satellite firms for their programming, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission had in 2010 accepted the broadcasters' arguments that local stations needed new money to stay viable. Before imposing a fee system on cable companies, it asked the courts to verify that it had the right to do so and the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that it did not.
The 5-4 decision is a defeat for telecoms company BCE Inc., which owns CTV, Canada's largest private broadcaster. Arguing on the cable side was Telus Corp, Cogeco Cable Inc, Rogers Communications Inc and Shaw Communications Inc.
Cable firms had warned the court that television blackouts could happen as they occasionally do in the United States if broadcasters were allowed to charge for their signals.
The broadcasters said the regulator had heard arguments about blackouts and concluded the American system was working well despite such concerns. About 90 per cent of Canadians receive their signals through their cable subscriptions.
The case originally pitted broadcasters against cable and satellite-TV companies, but the lines became muddied after Canada's two biggest private-sector TV networks were bought by BCE and Shaw.
Ultimately, at the pocketbook level it could have been consumers who would have been hit by a value-for-signal program, since the cable companies threatened to pass on any extra costs, estimated by the cable industry at $10 on customers' monthly bills.
The legal arguments in the case centered on whether the Copyright Act or the Broadcasting Act would have precedence. The Copyright Act grants broadcasters a copyright over their signals except in regard to cable companies.
The Broadcasting Act gives broad powers to the Commission but Justice Marshall Rothstein concluded for the majority that the law did not expressly give the regulator the right to impose a value-for-signal plan.
"No provision of the Broadcasting Act expressly grants jurisdiction to the CRTC to implement the proposed regime," Rothstein wrote in the opinion.
Rothstein said the CRTC's powers that are derived from the Broadcasting Act could not be allowed to create conflicts with the Copyright Act.

It is important that you get to know a dog's chewing style and to select the appropriate type of chew and the proper size and formulation based on age, breed, chewing style and weight.
The pressure exerted by a dog's jaw is considerable, and when directed straight down can put tremendous stress on the teeth. It is recommended that non-edible chews be large enough to encourage chewing from the side rather than the top and bottom. If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger size. If you have more than one dog in your household, select chews appropriate for the largest, strongest chewer. If your dog is an especially strong chewer, a larger chew may provide more of a challenge. Remember to supervise the use of all chews and toys!
Nylabone makes both Chew Toy and Edible Chew Products
Chew Toy (Non-Edible) Products (Plastic, Rubber and Nylon) are NOT intended for consumption. During normal chewing, tiny bristle-like projections are raised, which help clean teeth. If these tiny pieces (no larger than a small grain of rice) are ingested, they should pass through. A dog should not be able to break off larger piece of any Nylabone chew Toy (Non-Edible). If you think your dog swallowed a large piece of a Chew Toy (Non-Edible), take the chew away and contact your veterinarian for advice. No dog toy or chew is totally indestructible. Frequently inspect any chew before giving it to your dog to make sure it's whole and intact, with no missing pieces. Replace a chew Toy when protruding ends are worn down, or if it becomes too small to chew safely. Nylabone Chews and Toys should not be boiled, placed in a dishwasher, washing machine, convection or microwave oven.
Edible Chew Products are treats. Their lifespan depends on how determined a chewer your dog is. These all-natural chews are edible and highly digestible. Supervise the use of all Edible chews to ensure that your dog does not bite off pieces too large to swallow. Natural color may stain light-colored surfaces. They are best enjoyed by a dog with all of its permanent teeth (usually around 6 months). Exceptions: Healthy Edibles and Nutri Dent for Puppies 3 months and older.
Rawhide is a natural product. It is important that the chew is large and thick enough that a dog cannot easily chew off and swallow a large piece or the whole chew. We recommend discarding rawhide when it has been enjoyed down to a small portion or if it requires more than 5 days to consume. Natural color may stain light-colored surfaces.
Edible Puppy Chew Products are designed for puppies 3 months of age and older. Please consult your veterinarian for the right time to start your puppy on edible chews.
Puppy Chew Toy (Non-Edible) Products are specially designed for young teething puppies. They should not be given to a dog with ANY permanent teeth, regardless of age.

Phil Brown looking to bring in more bodies

Published: 20 August 2009
The Tigers were crushed 5-1 at the KC Stadium in their second Barclays Premier League match of the season.
Brown has spent most of the summer transfer window trying to bring in fresh faces but has missed out on a number of targets.
Real Madrid striker Alvaro Negredo is the latest high-profile player to turn down the chance of a move to Hull and Brown now seems unlikely to rest until the September 1 deadline passes.
Brown said: "We came up against classy opposition that showed us how to play the game.
"We are probably a million miles away from that at this point in time, the scoreline suggests that.
"There is no excuse for not working hard enough and not working towards the gameplan and one or two didn't.
"We were at full tilt with everything we did but they looked in total control. The gulf was there for everyone to see.
"We certainly need better players. We need players that are going to do the job for Hull City to the best of their ability and are going to listen to instructions I give before we go out there.
"We need everyone in the camp singing from the same hymnsheet."
Hull have not won in 12 Premier League games stretching back to March and only once at all in 2009.
They were handed a tough opening to the new campaign with a trip to Chelsea followed by a home clash against Spurs but already there is cause for concern.
"I think we were working but not working with any kind of thought process," Brown said.
"Too many individuals out there weren't listening to instructions, weren't listening to gameplans and consequently they played around us too easily.
"Chelsea away and Tottenham at home were two very difficult games to get anything from.
"Now the pressure is on us to get a point or points on Saturday and the same at Wolves a week later."
Hull's poor start last night meant they were 2-0 down after just 14 minutes and striker Daniel Cousin was substituted soon after.
The introduction of Geovanni in his place briefly revived Hull and Stephen Hunt pulled a goal back but Spurs were eventually convincing winners as Jermain Defoe completed a hat-trick.
Cousin looked very unimpressed as he was taken off but Brown insisted he had no issue with his performance.
Brown said: "I would be disappointed. He obviously didn't understand it was a tactical decision so he's hurting.
"But I didn't bring him off, the players who let the side down brought Daniel Cousin off."

WIIPING FOR WII said:
Oh my god yes, the gamecube version was cool. Nice and long too, good replay value. Hope that the Wii version can do better.

Seems intense? I don't really know what to say about this.
Fire Emblem Fan 14 said:
Finally a sequel. I am a big fan of Tales of Symphonia. But I heard it's not coming until late 2008.
Fire Emblem Fan 14 said:
I just hope the story isn't in a different time period where Lloyd and the others are already gone.

Nintendo is making all the right moves. The only thing that can make Nintendo hotter is if they can get Halo for the DS (maybe they can even try to get it for the Wii too).

Yes! Wii need more RPG's.
Chaos said:
It was one of GameCube's ONLY RPGs. We were seriously lacking. But what was there was excellent. Looking forward to the sequel- if it IS a sequel.

My all-time favorite game.
Golbez said:
Symphonia was my favorite cube game and one of my favorite RPGs last generation of consoles. Can't wait for the new one, I hope the battles put motion control to good use.
Kai Raffety said:
It is a sequel. It takes place 3 years after Lloyd's adventure. Lloyd and people will be in the game.
Cless Arving said:
Man, what they need is a prequel, and then a sequel to that, then a sequel between phantasia. Basically making SEVERAL new tales games. I'm also getting this feeling that it won't be that good. Just to go off topic, I sure hope that all of the fire emblem games appear on the Wii shop.
