Leading Rogue State by Judith R. Blau
Book DescriptionMost Americans would be surprised to learn that their government has declined to join most other nations in UN treaties addressing inadequate housing, poverty, children's rights, health care, racial discrimination, and migrant workers. Yet this book documents how the U.S. has, for decades, declined to ratify widely accepted treaties on these and many other basic human rights. Providing the first comprehensive topical survey, the contributors build a case and specific agendas for the nation to change course and join the world community as a protector of human rights.

With the variety of famous people, both real and fictional, that have red locks, there is no shortage of costume ideas for a natural redhead. Best of all, these looks can be done affordably, with many of the costume elements coming from thrift shops.
Other People Are Reading
Lucille Ball
This television icon was famous for her bright red hair, true red lips and great sense of humour. To showcase your red hair in this costume, set your hair with small hot rollers and let sit. Roll and pin your hair until you have a glorious head of "I Love Lucy" curls. Finish your look with a '50s-style shirtwaist dress, black pumps, red lips and false eyelashes. Follow up with a coat of bright red nail polish.
Jessica Rabbit
Jessica Rabbit is the famous redhead from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," and everything about her character is exaggerated. For this costume, pick up the shiniest red dress you can find and cut a slit up the thigh. Wear a pair of long black or blue gloves and the tallest pair of stiletto heels you can stand. Jessica Rabbit's hair is long and wavy, so set your hair with large hot rollers and arrange it to wave around your face.
Pippi Longstocking
Pippi Longstocking is the beloved character from the classic Astrid Lindgren series of books about a red-headed, eccentric and lovable orphan. For Pippi's costume, braid your hair into two pigtails on either side of your head. Insert a medium piece of wire into each pigtail and arrange each one so they stick straight out. Complete the look with a battered old dress and mismatched striped socks with lace-up boots.
Daphne from "Scooby-Doo"
Daphne from the "Scooby-Doo" series is another classic character that showcases a head of red hair. To get this look, set your hair with large rollers to get a slightly turned-under, preppy look. Place a wide headband in your hair behind your fringe, or with a section of hair in front of the headband if you don't have fringe. Daphne always wears purple and is best known for her purple minidress, which is best paired with a pair of purple heels. Accessorise with Daphne's favourite green-and-pink accent colours.

In a USA Today op-ed, Mitt Romney recasts his economic philosophy as one that would lift poorer Americans out of dependency.
"My course for the American economy will encourage private investment and personal freedom," Romney writes. "Instead of creating a web of dependency, I will pursue policies that grow our economy and lift Americans out of poverty."
While he doesn't mention the comments he made at a Florida fundraiser earlier this year, Romney is clearly trying to downplay his claim that he could "never convince" the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay federal income tax that "they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." Numerous conservatives have pushed back on that argument, saying that they aim to help everyone succeed.

Pontiac Recalls
The driver's front airbag may not deploy as expected in the event of a crash.
Power steering assist could be lost unexpectedly. Should this occur, steering ability would be maintained but would require much more effort.
While driving, the ignition switch can move out of the "run" position. As a result the engine would stall and the airbags would not deploy in the event of a crash.
The passenger front airbag inflator could rupture when deployed, allowing metal fragments to strike vehicle occupants and increasing the risk of personal injury.
The front airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners could deploy unexpectedly.
The power window master switch may overheat, melt, or possibly catch fire.
Vehicles are being recalled because of a potential fuel leak in the area of the fuel tank.
Vehicles equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission are being recalled because the indicated gear position of the shift lever may not match the actual gear.
The passenger front airbag may fail to meet federal safety standards if deployed with the passenger seat in the full forward position.
The module that controls the operation of the engine may have been improperly manufactured. This can result in various operational issues, including the check engine warning light coming on, harsh transmission shifting, engine stalling or failing to start.

Measures is a unit conversion application, but don't let that fact fool you. This is one of the most comprehensive conversion apps we've seen. It has tons of categories and just about every conversion type you can think of and its currency conversions are updated daily. To top it off, it's actually easy to use.
To start off, simply select a category for conversion. It has all the basics like length and weight, but it's even cooler. Ever think you might need to convert luminance? How about radioactivity? If you have Measures, it can be done.
Here's a full list of conversion categories this app handles:
- Length
- Area
- Weight
- Volume
- Temperature
- Time
- Fuel Consumption
- Information / Data Storage
- Speed
- Currencies (170 countries)
- Acceleration
- Pressure
- Energy
- Power
- Force
- Torque
- Angle
- Charge
- Density
- Luminance
- SI Prefixes
- Flow
- Radioactivity
- Magnetic Flux
- Magnetic Flux Density
- Clothes and Shoes Sizes
Once you've decided on a conversion, you can bring up a calculator to do some quick math on either end of the conversion. Need to swap the units? Simply shake the phone and they're swapped. If you find yourself doing certain conversions regularly, a column of four "favorites" buttons are available. Simply bring up the conversion and hold one of the buttons and a shortcut is made.
If you're overwhelmed by the insane amount of conversion types or units, you can actually disable them within the app. The unit categories can also be sorted in any way that you choose.
However, the most important thing is whether or not you can actually figure the app out. Surprisingly enough, even with the crazy amount of conversions available, the app is incredibly easy to figure out. If you're unsure about something, Measures also comes with a full set of instructions.
If the default style isn't your cup of tea, the app does come with a second theme.
The good: Tons of conversion categories, extremely easy to use, conversions are kept up to date every day. Full instructions are included in case you need them.
The bad: Nothing!
The Bottom line: This app is simply too good to pass up. For the price, it's a must have for every single iPhone user. Even if you can't think of a use for it right now, you'll find a use for it eventually!

This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 797,423, filed Nov. 22, 1991, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to an irrigation device wherein an inlet water supply is reduced in pressure and then distributed to multiple outlets.
Various devices are known in the prior art which receive water under pressure from a supply line, lower the pressure of such water, and then distribute it to a plurality of locations. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,810,582 discloses an irrigation device having a tubular manifold body which may be attached to the riser of an irrigation system. This device lowers the pressure and controls the flow of incoming water by means of a specially formed valve at the water inlet. The lower pressure water is then distributed through a plurality of outlet ports connected to small diameter irrigation tubes which conduct the water to a desired location.
Another drip irrigation device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,863,845 wherein the incoming water flows along an extended path before being distributed to a plurality of tubes. The long flow path lowers the pressure of the entering water so that low pressure water is delivered to the irrigation tubes.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,753,394 discloses a drip irrigation device employing a float to shut off the flow of water into an interior chamber of the device when that chamber is filled. The effective pressure of the water flowing through irrigation hoses connected to the device is therefore determined by a pressure head, which results from the height difference between the water level in the chamber and the level of outlet ports.
There remains a need, however, for a drip irrigation device which provides for more control over the flow of water to each of a plurality of desired locations. Further, there remains a need for an irrigation device which automatically compensates for increases in the pressure of water flowing through the device in order to maintain a fairly uniform water pressure in the water passing through the outlets.
The present invention comprises an irrigation device which receives water from a water supply line, lowers the pressure of that water, and then distributes it to a plurality of water conduits, including means for controlling the flow of water through each of those conduits. The device preferably includes a housing having a lower end adapted to connect to a water supply line, such as the riser of a sprinkler system. A pressure reducing element, preferably seated on an annular collar downstream of the connector means, self-adjusts for changes in the pressure of the water flowing through the device. Downstream of the pressure reducing element is an upper, manifold chamber in the interior of the housing. A cap removably secured to the housing completes the manifold chamber and permits access to the interior of the housing.
Around the inner circumference of the manifold chamber are positioned a plurality of outlets. In a preferred embodiment, these outlets are formed in the otherwise closed ends of cylindrical sockets, each of which has an open end in communication with the exterior of the device. A tubular element with an inlet and an outlet is fitted into each of these sockets in the manifold chamber, such that the inlet of the tubular element fixedly communicates with the outlet in the socket. A small-diameter flexible hose is then fitted to the outlet of the tubular element. Producing the housing and the tubular elements as separate pieces provides for ease of manufacture; however, it is to be understood that the housing and tubular elements could be produced as a unitary body.
The other end of the hose connected to the outlet of the tubular element is joined to a valve on a stake that is inserted in the ground. The flow of water through the stake valve may be controlled by the manipulation of a handle attached to the stake valve. Water flowing through the valve may be utilized at the valve outlet or the valve may be connected to another conduit to direct the water to a specific area in need of irrigation by drip or spray.
The present invention thus allows control over the flow of water to a desired location at a point near to that location. It is thus particularly useful in situations in which it is desirable to provide various locations with different amounts of low-pressure water.
The present invention further comprises a pressure reducer which, in one form, is positioned in a lower chamber of the housing upstream from the manifold chamber. The pressure reducer element includes a valve member that controls flow through an inlet orifice in the housing and is exposed to a high inlet pressure. A much larger area of the pressure reducer element downstream of the opening is exposed to a reduced downstream pressure. Thus, the high input pressure reacting against a small area is balanced with a lower pressure applied against a larger area in such a manner as to provide a desired output pressure. A reduced pressure can be maintained within a fairly narrow range with typical input water pressures using this form of the pressure reducer. In a preferred embodiment, a spring in the lower chamber of the housing engages the pressure reducer element and tends to urge it away from the inlet end of the housing. This creates what might be accurately termed a pressure regulator.
The housing of the present invention further contains a screen positioned in the upper chamber of the housing to keep obstructions away from the water outlets. The outer edge of this screen fits snugly against the cylindrical sockets and the bottom wall of the upper chamber. The screen is preferably shaped to limit upward travel of the pressure reducer element.
The present invention further includes an outer casing or canister which supports an inlet pipe connected to the inlet end of the housing of the irrigation device. The canister surrounds the housing of the irrigation device, which may be accessed by removing a cap on the upper end of the canister. The walls of the canister further contain openings to allow water conduits attached to the irrigation device to exit the canister.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view along line 1--1 of FIG. 10 of the housing and tubular element of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line 2--2 of FIG. 10 of the upper portion of the stake of the present invention, including a sprinkler device attached to the stake.
FIG. 3 is also a cross-sectional view along line 2--2 of FIG. 10 of the upper portion of the stake, showing an alternate way in which conduits might be connected to the stake.
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention including a partial cut-away view of the canister of the present invention surrounding an inlet pipe.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the housing.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view along line 6--6 of FIG. 7 of the tubular element.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the housing and tubular elements along line 7--7 of FIG. 5.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view along line 8--8 of FIG. 3 showing the tubular stake valve of the present invention in a fully open position.
FIG. 9 is a view similar to that of FIG. 8 but showing instead the tubular stake valve of the present invention in a closed position.
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the present invention, including the canister.
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of housing and the pressure reducer element in a housing in another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1-4, a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an outer, generally cylindrical canister or casing 10, a tubular conduit or riser 12 concentrically positioned within the casing, a housing 13 connected to the upper end of the conduit 12, a pressure reducer element 30 which fits within the lower portion of the housing 13, a screen 40 and a plurality of tubular elements 150 positioned within an upper portion of the housing 13, and a cap 60 enclosing the housing's upper end. Also included is a cover 70, shown in FIG. 10, which fits onto the upper end of the canister 10.
Referring now to FIG. 1, it may be seen that the housing 13 is a generally cylindrical or tubular body having sections of various diameters, concentrically arranged around the longitudinal axis of the housing. Preferably, the housing 13 is molded as a single component out of suitable rigid plastic. A lower tubular end 14 of the housing 13 forms a conduit for connection to the riser 12. Located at the upper portion of the lower end 14 is an orifice 15 defined by the inner edge of a radially inwardly extending wall or flange 16. The upper end of the orifice 15 is defined by a circular rim 16a which forms an inlet valve seat for the reducer element 30. Concentrically spaced outwardly from the valve seat is a generally cylindrical inner wall 18, which is joined to the rim 16a by a flat annular flange section 16b. Spaced outwardly from the inner wall 18 is an outer housing wall 20 which is joined to the inner wall by a generally flat annular flange section 16c (shown in FIG. 7). The walls 18 and 20 define an annular cavity 21 which is closed at its lower end and open at its upper end.
Formed integrally with the upper end of the outer wall 20 is a radially, outwardly extending, generally flat annular wall 22 which is a lower wall of a manifold chamber. The outer periphery of this wall is joined to an upwardly extending, generally cylindrical, outer manifold wall 24.
Formed integrally with the manifold walls 22 and 24 are a plurality, nine as shown, sockets 26, which are circumferentially spaced around the manifold walls as seen in FIG. 5. Referring again to FIG. 1, it may be seen that the sockets have an open lower end in the lower manifold wall 22, a closed upper end 26a and a generally cylindrical sidewall 26b, with the outer manifold wall 24 forming a portion of each socket sidewall 26b. Each socket has a generally rectangular outlet 27 on the upper end of its radially inner side of the sidewall 26b, adjacent the closed end 26a of the socket. Thus, it may be seen that the manifold walls 22 and 24, together with the housing cap 60, form a manifold chamber 29 leading to the plurality of outlets 27 in the manifold and the inlets to the sockets 26.
Tubular elements 150 fit into the sockets 26 and extend downwardly from the housing lower wall 22. An inlet 152 in each of the tubular elements 150 is aligned with the outlet 27 in each of the sockets 26 such that the interior of the manifold chamber 29 is in communication with an interior passage 154 in the tubular element 150. The tubular element 150 is preferably press-fit into the socket 26 of the housing 13 and extends downwardly from the lower wall 22 of the housing 13. The lower end of the tubular element 150 is also preferably formed with a barbed fitting 153 for easy friction connection to a conduit 156, which is preferably made from flexible tubing.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the pressure reducer element 30 is a multi-walled element which is preferably molded as one piece and made of a suitable plastic which is relatively rigid when reasonably thick, but somewhat flexible when formed as a thin wall. The reducer element 30 includes a centrally positioned valve member 32 having a generally cylindrical lower end that cooperates with the valve seat 16a to meter liquid flow through the device. An upper, smaller diameter cylindrical portion of the valve member 32 is formed integral with a plurality of radially extending ribs 33, best seen in FIG. 4. The ribs 33 are connected on their outer extremities to a generally flat annular wall 34 and to an inner, thin, generally cylindrical sealing wall or flap 35. Also connected to the flat annular wall 34 is a downwardly extending, thicker cylindrical, outer wall 36. As seen from FIG. 1, the inner and outer walls 35 and 36 define an annular space open on its lower end such that the walls slidably fit onto the upwardly extending inner housing wall 18. The lower end of the outer housing wall 36 is joined to an outer, generally flat annular wall 38 and a short, thin, upwardly extending outer sealing wall or flap 39. As seen from FIG. 1, the walls 36, 38 and 39 have a generally U-shaped cross section and slidably fit within the annular space 21 formed between the inner and outer housing walls 18 and 20, with the wall 39 sealingly engaging the outer housing wall 20.
As also seen from FIGS. 1 and 4, the screen 40 has a generally frusto-conical, basket-like shape which is situated in the manifold chamber 29 with its open end facing downwardly towards the reducer element 30, and its upper end engaging the lower surface of the cap 60. The lower end of the screen 40 includes a relatively rigid peripheral flange 42 that fits snugly within the circle defined by the inner edges of the socket sidewalls 26b, with the flange engaging an inner shoulder of the housing lower wall 22. Note that the flange 42 is located below the manifold outlets 27. The inner side of the screen has four stops 44 that limit upward movement of the element 30.
Referring to FIG. 2, the other end of the conduit 156 is connected to a tube 205 on a stake 200 located at a point remote from the riser 12 and the housing 13. This tube also preferably has a barbed fitting 213 for easy friction connection to the conduit 156. The tube 205 is preferably oriented horizontally with respect to the stake 200.
The stake has a horizontally oriented tube closed on one end to form a socket 209 at its upper end through which a tubular stake valve 210 is inserted. The valve is in the form of a small diameter tube integral with the tube 205 which is closed at one end 207 but which has an opening 208 in the sidewall of the tube near end 207 such that the opening 208 may selectively communicate with the central passageway of an upwardly oriented tube 206. The opening 208 and the tube 206 are axially aligned with the stake body. The valve is preferably press-fit into the socket 209 in a manner so as to retain the valve 210 while permitting it to freely rotate in the socket 209 around the long axis of the tubular valve 210 by means of a radially extending handle 215. The closed end of the socket 209 conveniently limits the insertion of the valve 210 so that the opening 208 is aligned with the tube 206 when the valve 210 is inserted into the socket 209. A sprinkler 214 may be attached to the tube 206, as illustrated in FIG. 2, or water may exit that tube directly to provide drip irrigation. In addition, the stake 200 may comprise one or more clips 217 as shown in FIG. 10 for holding and giving support to other irrigation hoses not connected to the stake.
In an alternate arrangement shown in FIG. 3, the flexible hoses 156 may be connected to the vertically-oriented tube 206 rather than to the horizontally-oriented tube 205. Flexible tubing 216 is then connected to the tube 205 by means of the barbed outlet or fitting 213. The tubing 216 receives the water passing through the tubular stake valve 210 and conducts it to a desired location.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 10, it may be seen that the canister 10 has a generally cylindrical shape with a lower frusto-conical portion 10a having a plurality of circumferentially spaced holes 11 through which the tubes 156 extend. The canister is further provided with a relatively thick flat lower wall 19 which supports the conduit or riser 12, together with the components of the device on the upper end of the riser. The upper end of the canister 10 terminates slightly below the housing 13 so that the housing is readily accessible for maintenance. The generally cup-shaped cap 70 extends over these upper components and mates with the upper end of the canister. It should be understood that the canister 10 is an optional item and that the housing 13 with its components may simply be mounted directly on the upper end of a riser that is a part of an irrigating system.
Referring to FIG. 11, it may be seen that the pressure reducer 30 is useful in an arrangement other than the multiple outlet housing 13 shown in FIG. 1. The pressure reducer element 30 is shown in a housing 250 which is similar to the housing 13 of FIG. 1 except that it has only one outlet 260 positioned downstream from an inlet 255. The upward travel of the pressure reducer element 30 is stopped by an inwardly extending wall 275 which is part of an outlet casing 270. A spring (not shown) may optionally be used to urge the pressure reducer element in the open position. The pressure reducer element 30 thus acts to reduce the pressure of water entering the housing 250 in essentially the same way as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, but the device is useful as a pressure reducer or regulator in any in-line situation.
In use, the lower end of conduit 12 is connected to a source of water. After relatively high pressure water has entered the device through orifice 15, the pressure reducer 30 acts to lower the pressure of that water so that relatively lower pressure water leaves the housing 13 and passes through the tubular element 150. Small diameter, flexible hoses 156 are connected to the lower ends of the tubular elements 150, and water is conducted through these hoses to a plurality of stakes 200 located at points remote from the housing 13. Tubular valves 210 in the stakes 200 may then be individually manipulated to control the flow of water through the stakes.
To operate the valve 210, the handle 215 is rotated in order to open, close, or partially close the valve and thereby regulate the flow of water through the valve. FIG. 8 illustrates the valve in an open position wherein the inlet 208 of the tubular valve is aligned with the passageway of the tube 206. FIG. 9 shows the valve in the closed position. Of course, by rotating the handle 215 through a smaller arc, the valve 210 may be positioned to permit a lesser flow than in the fully open position illustrated in FIG. 8.
The inlet water pressure in the housing of the device, of course, varies from location to location, but typically is in the range of 20-80 psi. It is desirable that this pressure be reduced before the water reaches the tubular stake valves 210. Reducing the pressure minimizes downstream leaking problems and facilitates the use of flexible plastic distribution tubing. Also, reduced pressure allows the openings through the outlet valves to be larger than with higher pressure for a desired liquid flow. While various reduced pressures may be employed for satisfactory operation, it is desired that the inlet water pressure be reduced to a range of 15 to 20 psi. Advantageously, such pressure is sufficient to operate irrigation spray devices.
The inlet water pressure reacts against the lower surface of the reducer element valve member 32, urging the reducer element 30 upwardly in a direction to increase the flow through the orifice 15. The water then flows upwardly, as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1, through the spaces defined by the ribs 33 in the reducer element 30, through the holes in the screen 40, radially and outwardly through the outlet holes 27. Due to the restricted flow through the orifice 15, the water pressure on the downstream side of the orifice is reduced from the water inlet pressure. This lower pressure, however, reacts against a much larger area than does the inlet pressure. That is, the inlet pressure reacts solely against the downwardly facing surface of the valve member 32. The effective area of this surface is the circular cross section of the lower end of the cylindrical valve member 32. The reduced downstream pressure on the element 30 is, however, applied to a much larger area. This includes the upwardly facing surfaces of the valve member 32, the ribs 33, the upper, flat annular wall 34, and the outer, lower, flat, annular wall 38. This combined upwardly facing surface multiplied by the downstream pressure produces a force that urges the reducer element 30 downwardly in the valve closing direction. Thus, an increased inlet pressure urges the reducer element open, but this increased downstream pressure tends to urge the valve element closed. This produces a generally balanced condition with a desired downstream pressure and with typical water inlet pressures.
It should be noted that the design of the pressure reducer element and the cooperating housing walls is such that the liquid flow is confined to that indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1 in that the liquid pressure downstream of the orifice 15 urges the large cylindrical sealing flap 39 into engagement with the housing inner wall 18. Likewise, the downstream pressure urges the outer cylindrical wall or flap 39 into sealing engagement with the outer housing wall 20. Thus, water pressure is not applied to the downwardly facing surfaces of the reducer element except the end of the valve member 32. Also, a small air vent 17 in the housing flange prevents pressure buildup between the flange 16c and the reducer element wall 38, and the walls 35 and 39 prevent liquid leakage out of the housing.
One of the advantages of the pressure reducer is that it is useful in some applications without a spring biasing force, thereby eliminating the cost and attendant wear problem of the spring; however, a spring may be optionally employed. Referring to FIG. 1, a coil compression spring 80 may be positioned between the inner cylindrical wall 35 of the reducer element and the centrally positioned valve member 32. The lower end of the spring engages the fixed annular flange 16b of the housing, while the upper end engages the lower edges of the ribs 33; and urges the reducer element 30 upwardly. With the use of the coil spring, the amount of pressure reduction obtained is decreased, such that the downstream pressure is larger than without the spring. Also, the reduced pressure is more constant because of the spring such that the arrangement may more accurately be referred to as a pressure regulator. The spring arrangement is perhaps desirable when the irrigation device is to be used with spray-type outlets on the end of the conduits 156, 216.
It has been found that with a system using a regulator spring 80 and valves 150 having an inner tubular diameter of a little less than a tenth of an inch, an output of about 21/2 gallons per minute (150 gallons per hour) for the entire device can be obtained. Such flow is much greater than that desired or needed for drip irrigation situations, but is quite useful for spray irrigation devices. Several of such spray devices can be operated with one of the multiple irrigation devices of the invention. Reduced flows can of course simply be obtained by adjusting the valves.

Promising growth and vitality to the museum and its environs, the expansion of The Pierre Lassonde Pavilion at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec boasts a stacked box design that lends itself to an upward expansion. The cantilevered massing of the structure frames the adjacent courtyard of the historic Saint Dominique church cloister, and strategically placed windows and skylights provide views of the park. Mezzanines and overlooks link a maze of temporary and permanent exhibition spaces and roof terraces along with an urban plaza and an auditorium create ample space for public functions and outdoor exhibits. The expansion will allow for priceless works of art that were previously in storage to be displayed for a larger number of museum patrons.
Front worked on this project as façade consultants through the design development stage to engineer and evaluate the façade systems and to create drawings of the system specifications. Special consideration was given to address the need for natural light while providing thermal insulation from the harsh winters of Québec. The resulting triple-layered glass façade is composed of a 2D printed frit, 3D embossed glass, and a layer of diffuser glass. Insulated gallery walls stand behind the system, and are offset by a gap which lights the building at night. The Grand Hall is enclosed by a glass curtain wall with glass fins that provide inviting views to the Charles Baillairgé pavilion through a glass wall and ceiling.

Neglected puppy's ear fell off after she was attacked by dogs
A neglected puppy with painfully infected open bite wounds has been making a slow recovery, yet she never stops wagging her tail nor looking for hugs and kisses. And such is the story of Little Bear, who was surrendered to the Flint, Michigan's Gennessee County Animal Control in such serious condition, the shelter director ordered the staff to rush the puppy to their veterinarian for emergency life saving treatment. As the wound was lanced to drain the infection, most of the puppy's ear fell off; the tissue had become necrotic.
Little Bear's life has had a very rough beginning. According to the rescue, Happy Days Dog & Cat Rescue, who has stepped forward to help, a woman surrendered the seriously injured puppy on October 29, telling the shelter staff Little Bear had been viciously attacked by other family dogs. The pup's throat and ear had been torn open. In addition, the neglected puppy suffered multiple bite wounds all over her body; and for days the wounds had been left untreated.
Earlier this week, Little Bear underwent her first surgery. The happy news was posted on the organization's Facebook page to update supporters:
"She came through this first procedure with flying colors! She had a lateral ear resection, also called a ZEPP procedure. The ear flap was also removed along with all the surrounding dead tissue. We are hoping that through this procedure her hearing in that ear will be preserved, although there is a great deal of swelling at this point so it is too early to tell."
It is expected the puppy will need additional surgery and skin grafts, but everyone is amazed how far Little Bear has progressed. When first brought into the vet, it was suggested the puppy be humanely euthanized due to the extent of her injuries. Animal advocates said no – they wanted to give her a chance, and what a survivor she has turned out to be. Although she still has a long road to recovery, her prognosis looks better every day.
It is not known if the previous owner will be facing animal cruelty and neglect charges. For now, volunteers and advocates are concentrating on Little Bear.

Easy to Use
Design & Innovation
"LoopyGear's wrist toy attachment is wonderful for keeping a toy close to baby during car rides, walks in the stroller, or hikes in the baby carrier. I have a hard time keeping track of all the baby gear when we go out (diapers, wipes, snack, clothes, bottle/cup, toys.... why does someone so little need so much?!) - and it is frustrating when we lose something. This little wristband is soft and the velcro is strong, so you don't have to worry about losing your little ones' toy or teether. It would make a great baby shower gift, along with a cute teething toy!" - Amy, Green Scene Mom

Most American Thickburger
I personally think this burger is genius, besides the name of it. You're basically combining all your favorite American picnic food between one bun. Why procrastinate your consumption by separating it all. I would however suggest adding potato salad or macaroni salad to this and wash it down with an ice cold beer. OMG I'm getting myself worked up right now.
Prep: 5 min Grill: 6 min
- I think this burger is pretty straightforward. More or less just how you prepare it and layer it.
- I would prep all of the ingredients that require prepping such as slicing tomatoes and lettuce.
- Proceed with grilling up hamburger patties along side the hot dogs. Make sure you butterfly the hot dog, fold it out and grill it with some oil skin side down first.
- Grill the buns dry so they stay firm with all the ingredients layering on this bad boy
- Assemble with a layer of ketchup and mustard on its base with a few semi-dry dill pickles
- generously layer on kettle cooked chips and a dry leaf of lettuce and then two tomatoes.
- Add on your Burger Patty with a slice of melted american cheese
- Top with your hot dog and a layer of ketchup and mustard and the top bun.
- Your finished creating the ultimate artery clogging thickburger. Make sure you pat everything down with a paper towel before consuming.
