Fox News figures frequently use violent rhetoric
Beck talks about "put[ting] poison" in Pelosi's wine. Glenn Beck stated:
BECK: So, Speaker Pelosi, I just wanted to -- you gonna drink your wine? Are you blind? Do those eyes not work? There you -- I want you to drink it now. Drink it. Drink it. Drink it.
I really just wanted to thank you for having me over here to wine country. You know, to be invited, I thought I had to be a major Democratic donor or a longtime friend of yours, which I'm not.
By the way, I put poison in your -- no, I -- I look forward to all the policy discussions that we're supposed to have -- you know, on health care, energy reform, and the economy. [Glenn Beck 8/6/09 [1]]
Morris: "Those crazies in Montana who say, 'We're going to kill ATF agents because the U.N.'s going to take over' -- well, they're beginning to have a case." During a long conspiracy theory about a "super-national authority" that will oversee U.S. financial institutions, Fox News contributor Dick Morris asserted that President Obama's policies are "internationalist" and that "[t]hose crazies in Montana who say, 'We're going to kill ATF agents because the U.N.'s going to take over' -- well, they're beginning to have a case." [Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, 3/31/09 [2]]
Trotta suggests "knock[ing] off" "both" Osama and Obama. During a May 25, 2008, segment [3] on Fox News' America's Election HQ, while discussing the media coverage of Hillary Clinton's remark on Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, Fox News contributor Liz Trotta said:
TROTTA: The vast right-wing conspiracy blame has been undermined by her [Clinton's] evasions, by her outright lies, if I may say, by her pandering, by her race-baiting, and now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama - Obama - well, both if we could.
ERIC SHAWN (host): Well - talk about how you really feel.
Trotta later [4] "apologize[d] to anybody I have offended" for her "lame attempt at humor."
Palin: "Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!" Fox News contributor Sarah Palin posted [5] a list of House Democrats who voted for health care reform with crosshairs aimed at their locations. In a March 23 tweet about her map, Palin wrote [6]: " 'Don't Retreat, Instead -- RELOAD!' " Palin's list was criticized by conservative Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who introduced and endorsed Palin during the 2008 campaign, as helping foster [7] a climate of violent rhetoric. Hasselbeck added that the list is "purely despicable" and "insane."
Huckabee: Members of Congress "should be tarred and feathered as the original tea partiers would have done." As RightWingWatch.org noted, Fox News host Mike Huckabee said [8] of members of Congress in January:
HUCKABEE: Every member of Congress knows in his gut what's in the people's interest and what's in K Street's interest. If you think your real boss is some smug guy in a corner office with his Gucci loafers up on a mahogany deck and not the folks back home, those folks who voted for you, who gave you 25 or 50 hard-earned bucks, who put up yard signs and made calls for you, you deserve to lose. Shame on you, you shouldn't just be fired, you should be tarred and feathered as the original tea partiers would have done. That's my view and I welcome yours.
Stossel said he has "Barney Frank in effigy" hanging above his sofa. In a February 3 interview with New York magazine, when Fox Business host John Stossel was asked, "What's hanging above your sofa?" he responded: "Barney Frank in effigy." [New York, 2/3/10 [9]]
Beck portrays Obama, Democrats as vampires, suggests "driv[ing] a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers." Beck aired a graphic portraying Obama and Democrats as vampires and said, "The government is full of vampires, and they are trying to suck the lifeblood out of the economy." Beck then suggested "driv[ing] a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers." [Glenn Beck, 3/30/09 [10]]
Beck: "To the day I die, I am going to be a progressive hunter." Telling his listeners that they "are going to learn so much on Friday," Beck compared himself to "Israeli Nazi hunters" and commented, "I'm going to find these big progressives and, to the day I die, I'm going to be a progressive hunter." He added:
BECK: I'm going to find these people that have done this to our -- you know, to our country, and expose them. I don't care where -- I don't care if they're in nursing homes. I'm going to expose what they have done and make sure that the people understand, because our Constitution, our republic -- if it survives -- it will only survive because the people are waking up and through the grace of God, because we are that close to losing our republic. [Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program, 1/20/10 [11]]
Beck: "Grab a torch." Asserting that politicians are addicted to spending, Beck stated: "When do we ever run those who are bankrupting our country and literally stealing our children's future out of town? Grab a torch." [Glenn Beck, 1/6/10 [12]]
Beck speaks for one-third of the nation: "[Y]ou will have to shoot me in the forehead before you take away my gun" and "before I acquiesce and be silent." During the July 30, 2009, edition [13] of his radio show, Beck warned "ACORN, GE, Obama, SEIU" that "you are awakening a sleeping giant, and I have nothing to do with it" and that "America is waking up. You know the American Revolution took place with 12 percent of the population? Twelve. Are you telling me there is not 30 percent of this population that you will have to shoot me in the forehead before I let somebody into my house to tell me how to raise my children; you will have to shoot me in the forehead before you take away my gun; you will have to shoot me in the forehead before I acquiesce and be silent."
Beck: "There is a coup going on. There is a stealing of America." On his radio show, Beck stated that "there is a revolution, and they think they can get away with it quietly." Beck further claimed: "At this point, gang, I'm not sure, they may be able to because they are so far ahead of us. They know what they're dealing against; most of America does not yet. Most of America doesn't have a clue as to what's going on. There is a coup going on. There is a stealing of America, and the way it is done, it has been done through the -- the guise of an election, but they lied to us the entire time." He also said, "And they're gonna say, 'we did it democratically,' and they are going to grab power every way they can. And God help us in an emergency." [The Glenn Beck Program, 8/31/09 [14]]
Beck pours gasoline on "average American," asks, "President Obama, why don't you just set us on fire?" On his Fox News program, Beck claimed to be imitating Obama while pouring liquid from a gasoline can -- which he later stated was water -- on an "average American." Beck said during his demonstration: "President Obama, why don't you just set us on fire? ... We didn't vote to lose the republic." [Glenn Beck, 4/9/09 [15]]
Quoting Jefferson, Beck warns about "rivers of blood." On his Fox News show, Beck quoted a letter by Thomas Jefferson warning that " 'if they lose freedom' -- he's speaking of us, future generations -- 'if they lose freedom, there will be rivers of blood.' " Beck continued in his own words, "Boy, I hope that's not true, but I can tell you there will be rivers of blood if we don't have values and principles." [Glenn Beck, 5/14/10 [16]]
Ranting that gov't under Nixon "wasn't as corrupt as it is now," Beck suggests Obama admin might kill "10 percent" of population. Beck warned that "anarchists, Marxists, communists, revolutionaries, Maoists" have to "eliminate 10 percent of the U.S. population" in order to "gain control." They couldn't achieve such a goal when Richard Nixon was president, Beck stated, because "the family was together" and the government under Nixon "wasn't as corrupt as it is now." Beck added: "Now they can. Now they can." Beck later played a clip of an FBI agent who infiltrated the Weather Underground and warned about extremists who want to kill people. Beck responded to the clip by stating: "These are the same people that are everywhere in our government and our education system. Please, please. Learn from history. Please." [Glenn Beck, 6/10/10 [17]]
Beck on progressives: When the "soft revolution" fails, they "just start shooting people." Beck claimed [18] that progressives are engaging in a "soft revolution" designed to silence voices like his. He added: "If somebody starts to turn on them, or they can't get everyone to silence, that's when the arrests come, or that's when they start a hard revolution. That's when they start just shooting people. I hope we don't get to that point. I pray that we don't get to that point, but I never thought this country would get to the point where we are today." [The Glenn Beck Program, 5/27/10 [18]]
Beck: "God will wash this nation with blood if he has to, but he doesn't have to." Referencing Lincoln's second inaugural address, Beck said that "God will wash this nation with blood if he has to, but he doesn't have to." Beck added that "we are passing all of the exits. Gang, there is one exit left. There is one exit left, and it is God. Everything that is coming our way is too big to handle on our own. If we do not put God at the center of our own personal lives and the center of our country, we will not survive. The country will be washed with blood and then someone will have to start over, and God only knows how long that takes." [The Glenn Beck Program, 8/25/10 [19]]
Beck: "The army ... of the extreme left is gathering" and they are saying "cops are bad, kill the cops." On his radio show, Beck discussed riots in Oakland, stating: "The army, if you will, of the extreme left is gathering, and they are coming to the conclusion of cops are bad, kill the cops, they're the oppressors. It's all the 1960s, you know, pig stuff. It's the same stuff." [The Glenn Beck Program, 7/12/10 [20]]
Beck's advice to Liberty grads: "Shoot to kill." During his May 15 commencement speech at Liberty University, Beck told [21] graduates that they "have a responsibility" to speak out, or "blood ... will be on our hands." His advice [22] for graduates (as well as his daughter) included "shoot to kill."
O'Reilly: "[I]f I could get my hands on Tiller -- well, you know. Can't be vigilantes. Can't do that. It's just a figure of speech." On the November 6, 2006, broadcast of his radio show, Bill O'Reilly said of the late Dr. George Tiller: "[I]f I could get my hands on Tiller -- well, you know. Can't be vigilantes. Can't do that. It's just a figure of speech." [Westwood One's The Factor with Bill O'Reilly, 11/6/06 [23]]
Peters stated that if a Taliban-held soldier is a deserter, "the Taliban can save us a lot of legal hassles and legal bills." Ralph Peters asserted of Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl, who was captured [24] by the Taliban in June 2009 and appeared in two Taliban propaganda videos: "[W]e know this private is a liar; we're not sure if he's a deserter." Peters added that if he is a deserter, "the Taliban can save us a lot of legal hassles and legal bills." NBC's Jim Miklaszewski subsequently reported [25] that the Pentagon said Peters' comments "could endanger" the captured soldier. [Fox News' America's News HQ, 7/19/09 [26]]
Scheuer: "The only chance we have as a country right now is" for bin Laden to "detonate a major weapon" in U.S. Michael Scheuer, who has frequently [27] appeared [28] on Fox News as a terrorism expert, said during an appearance on Glenn Beck, "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States." [Glenn Beck, 6/30/09 [29]]
Other conservative media figures have used violent rhetoric
Erickson: "At what point do the people ... march down to their state legislator's house, pull him outside, and beat him to a bloody pulp?" In a March 31, 2009, post [30] on RedState.com discussing a Washington county's ban on certain kinds of dishwasher detergent, Erick Erickson wrote: "At what point do the people tell the politicians to go to hell? At what point do they get off the couch, march down to their state legislator's house, pull him outside, and beat him to a bloody pulp for being an idiot?" Later in the post, Erickson added: "Were I in Washington State, I'd be cleaning my gun right about now waiting to protect my property from the coming riots or the government apparatchiks coming to enforce nonsensical legislation."
Erickson: I'll "[p]ull out my wife's shotgun" if they try to arrest me for not filling out the American Community Survey. On the April 1 edition of WMAC's In the Morning with Erick Erickson, Erickson said [31] of the American Community Survey: "This is crazy. What gives the Commerce Department the right to ask me how often I flush my toilet? Or about going to work? I'm not filling out this form. I dare them to try and come throw me in jail. I dare them to. Pull out my wife's shotgun and see how that little ACS twerp likes being scared at the door. They're not going on my property. They can't do that. They don't have the legal right, and yet they're trying."
Right-wing blogger: People should "have a swing at" lawmakers "if you're willing to do the time." In a March 24 post on his blog, Confederate Yankee, Bob Owens - who also currently contributes [32] to the Washington Examiner - wrote: [33]
No matter what you think of Obamacare and the craven ideologues that passed it, is totally unacceptable to threaten their relatives or friends and put them in danger.
Go to your Congressman's office and scream at him in the most colorful language possible. Hang him in effigy at protests. If you're willing to do the time for the crime, have a swing at him.
Better yet, throw a shoe... after all, the left values such behavior [34] as a form of "vigorous dissent," and will no doubt ask for any charges against you to be dropped.
Perhaps one day stronger action will be required if Progressives continue to trample on our liberties in their blind quest for power. But that time is not now.
At this time, I suspect Shikha Dalmia's call for massive civil disobedience [35] is the correct path. Show your anger. Make sure those who have trampled your liberties are stuck down by ballots. With your help, the Democratic Party's assault on the Republic can be undone.
The right way.
Owens: "Jackasses" who call health care a right "deserve to be drawn and quartered." From Owens' Twitter account [36]:
Savage: "We're going to have a revolution in this country"; "These people are pushing the wrong people around." Michael Savage discussed multiculturalism and predicted: "This is not going to go on in this country much longer. We're going to have a revolution in this country if this keeps up. These people are pushing the wrong people around." Savage further said that "the rage has reached a boil. If they keep pushing us around, and if we keep having these schmucks running for office catering to the multicultural people who are destroying the culture of this country ... guaranteed the people -- the white male in particular." [Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation, 8/21/09 [37]]
Newsmax columnist Perry asserts Obama "is inviting" a "[m]ilitary intervention." John Perry wrote: "There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the 'Obama problem.' Don't dismiss it as unrealistic." He added:
Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?
Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.
Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible. [Newsmax.com, 9/29/09 [38]]
Quinn calls for "riots": "Our country was built on revolution, and it's about time we took it back." Discussing health care reform, Jim Quinn stated, "You have got to say no to this, and if they push this through, you need to riot in the streets. You need to riot in the streets." He further said, "Our country was built on revolution and it's about time we took it back. These people are dangerous," and, "It's about time to put an end to this leftist control of this country, and if a revolution is what it takes, damn it, then that's what it's going to take, because liberty will not be denied." [The War Room with Quinn and Rose, 9/10/09 [39]]
Chuck Norris: "[W]ill history need to record a second American Revolution?" In his March 9, 2009, column [40] for WorldNetDaily, actor and political activist Chuck Norris wrote: "How much more will Americans take? When will enough be enough? And, when that time comes, will our leaders finally listen or will history need to record a second American Revolution? We the people have the authority according to America's Declaration of Independence." Norris also wrote, "On Glenn Beck's radio show [41] last week, I quipped in response to our wayward federal government, 'I may run for president of Texas.' That need may be a reality sooner than we think."
Geller: Obama "is itching for a civil war. And at the rate he is going, he is going to get one." In a June 23 post [42] about immigration reform titled, "Forecast: Blood on the Streets," conservative blogger Pam Geller wrote: "If the king decrees that all illegals will be granted amnesty, I can assure you that America will not go quietly." She added: "It is increasingly clear that the most divisive President in history is itching for a civil war. And at the rate he is going, he is going to get one."
Savage: "I'd hang every lawyer who went down to Guantanamo." While discussing the case of two University of South Florida students on trial for charges that they provided material aid to terrorists, Savage told a caller, "If I ran this country, I'd hang the lawyer. I would try her for aiding and abetting terrorism -- I'd hang her and I'd hang every lawyer who went down to Guantánamo to defend those murderers." Earlier in the same program, Savage said of the defendants and their attorney, whom he called "a shyster lawyer, a girl lawyer": "I would execute them and I'd execute the lawyer. How's that? I'd execute any lawyer who would do this to this country in a time like this -- I'd hang her. I'd hang her. I'd hang her for aiding and abetting terrorism. Don't tell me they're entitled to a rational defense, I'm so sick of this -- I could rip my desk and it's made of iron. I feel like Superman right now, I could take my hands and break my desk, that's how enraged I am today, I'm choked up with anger." [The Savage Nation, 6/18/08 [43]]
Limbaugh: "Secession" is "not the rantings of extreme kookism anymore," "some might say the civil war is already on." A caller to Limbaugh's radio show expressed concern that the "elections even gonna solve the problems in this country" because we are "too far gone." She said that states need to look at "secession" or "maybe another civil war. And, to tell you the truth, I'm ready for it because I'm so hopping mad. I'm mad every day." Limbaugh responded by calling her a "reasonable woman" and saying "she's not alone, folks." He added, "[S]ecession" is "not the rantings of extreme kookism anymore." He later said: "[S]ome might say the civil war is already on -- a nonviolent one." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 8/5/10 [44]]
Conservative radio host Rosen: Build Islamic community center in NY then "blow it to smithereens." During an October 6 debate with progressive radio host David Sirota, conservative radio host and Denver Post columnist Mike Rosen said [45] the following about the proposed Islamic community center in Manhattan: "I think they should be allowed to build it followed by the hijacking of an Iranian plane right into that building and blow it to smithereens."
Right-wing radio host Berry on Islamic community center: "I hope somebody blows it up." In May, right-wing radio host Michael Berry responded to a caller who supported building a proposed Islamic community center in Manhattan by saying [46]: "And I'll tell you this: If you do build a mosque, I hope somebody blows it up. ... I hope the mosque isn't built, and if it is, I hope it's blown up. And I mean that."

Suggest googling gun stores, even Bass or Cabelas but mostly stores, and then see if they have a range. Talk to the guys at the counter and they should be able to steer you to one or two.

The Rt Hon Vince Cable MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation & Skills delivered the Gandhi Foundation Annual Lecture in October 2013. The title of his lecture was What Would a Gandhian Business Model Look Like? You can read the full speech by clicking here.
You can read a review by Robert Fisher and analysis by Antony Copley below.
What Would a Gandhian Business Model Look Like?
By Robert Fisher
At the recent Gandhi Foundation Annual Lecture, The Rt Hon Vince Cable MP spoke of Mahatma Gandhi as one of the three great 20th century political activists who along with Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King brought to the consciousness of humanity some of the injustices that human kind has heaped upon his fellow man/woman.
At the same time reminding us of three 20th Century tyrants who had brought humanity to the depths of evil and despair, Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zedong who collectively killed millions in their attempts to control the destinies of many with their ill conceived ideological objectives.
And of the legacies of these six individuals, exemplified by the election of Barack Obama as the president of the United States of America, the emergence of India and China as two of the great economic powers in the world and of the recent joint American and Russian intervention in Syria in bringing about the destruction of its chemical weapons.
The legacies of Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zedong are not forgotten, there are still many within global society who would kill with impunity anyone questioning their authority or ideological beliefs.
Whilst Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela have undoubtedly helped to reduce the incidents of institutional racism and colonialism, sexism, ageism, classism etc. still exist and as was stated by Dr Cable, nonviolent direct action by all, wherever these incidents occur, will eventually bring these prejudices and injustices to an end.
It is noted that Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Gandhi were all individuals who fought against their political systems at the time to achieve their moral objectives.
The world of commerce and industry, based on mutual self interest has steadily moved on, perhaps providing some insight as to the way in which finding ways of working together can be more important than seeking to impose one ideological view over another. Politicians around the world will be aware of the impact the Internet has had on the political landscape.
Dr Cable spoke of globalisation, of economics and of ethics and of cultural and subsequent ethical conflicts between those who are the wealth creators in society and some who retain it to create even more money and of the differences between great wealth and deep poverty, inequalities and injustices in society.
Within the bandwidth of ethics that allows for freedom of thought and deed, I believe different and deeper truths and cultural values will emerge as nations converge and collective society moves forward in what I imagine Gandhi's definition of Sarvodaya to be.
Globalisation, in this digital age, brings with it the hopes and aspirations of many and the potential for all cultures and nation states to collaborate in trying to address the many challenges that face humanity and earth's subsystems, and the many opportunities in so doing.
Just under 40 years ago the combined intellectual capacity of only a few motivated individuals addressed the challenge of taking humanity to the moon and back.
It is entirely plausible that the combined intellectual capacity of humanity, connected, motivated and focused on addressing the many challenges we undoubtedly will face as we all move forward in eliminating extremes of poverty and injustice in society and the degradation of the natural world will be achieved. Gandhi and those like him have shown the many what only a few can achieve.
True economics, articulated by Vince Cable as social justice, equality and the good of all is not only aspirational it is logical and demonstrable through the concept of mutual self interest.
Whatever our views of capitalism are, laissez-faire or some other form of capitalism, we are part of global economic community and what we do in one part of the world has an impact in another. Dr Cable in his Ministerial capacity in relation to business, innovation and skills will I'm sure be aware of the need of a fine balance between government (regulation, innovation), and economic (stimulation and equilibrium).
Dr Cable spoke of the liberalisation of the Indian economy and of the dismantling of state control of its planning processes and what would have been Gandhi's opposition in the protection of rural industries. I can see both sides to this argument, in the semi rural community within which I live I am aware of a balance that needs to kept in the development of any economy, local, national or international and of the need to support those whose aspirations are to the husbandry of natural / rural environments (you cannot eat software), and there is much more to true economics than generating GDP through irresponsible planning processes and ill thought through economic stimuli. I believe aesthetics and analysis both to be part of this liberalisation and planning process, soul with pragmatism.
The balance between materialism / consumerism / waste in a world of finite resources and the subsequent impact on global ecology I feel sure concerns the majority of people in society today and as set out in Vince Cable's view of true economics it will be the innovators, scientists, engineers, businesses, social entrepreneurs who will address these challenges, but perhaps equally as important the spiritual / moral dimension to be included in this equation will determine the society in which we all will eventually live.
Dr Cable then commented on the benefits of the "green revolution" and of the efficiencies gained in multiple cropping, fertilizers etc.
Those cultures who have tilled the land responsibly for centuries will already be aware of nature's natural and sustainable cycles, the green revolution will be nothing new to them. However irrigation and mobile telephony, in ways as yet to be imagined, will transform their lives forever.
Jevon's paradox however puts forward the view that efficiencies gained through technological progress in accessing resources, tend to increase the rate of consumption and if this is the case I believe humanity must define and find ways of living within a sustainable global budget.
Vince Cable then went on to elaborate on the meaning of Swadeshi, as self-reliant village communities, independent from their neighbours for vital wants.
All modern communities of which I am aware are reliant on some of their vital resources from others. Within my own village community I can see many benefits in the reduction of waste by providing within its borders a balanced local economy and employment for its residents, whatever their aspirations are. In all transactions going forward there should be benefits, financial, social or environmental, but no transaction should be at the expense of the other, the metrics and algorithm developed to measure impact, an important factor in creating a sustainable and equitable society, wherever it exists.
Community cohesion and social mobility, mentioned by Dr Cable, should mean something different to the emergence of ghettoes in the city of London for highly paid bankers, or traveling miles to get to work because a person in his or her chosen occupation cannot afford to live close to their employment. These are complexities any economic system will have to deal with, but not, I feel, insurmountable.
Personally I can see some merits in Gandhi's Swadeshi that should be nurtured, valued and protected, however this should be in a local / national /international / mutual self-interest context.
We have seen both positive and negative impacts of outsourcing our industrial and other capabilities since the 1970s to places such as the far-east and the impact of this short term bottom line thinking has had on the manufacturing skills base of the United Kingdom. There are now not enough engineers to rebuild our own critical infrastructures.
There is a comfort in the idea of British critical infrastructure being held in trust on behalf of its population by a British institution, built and managed by British engineers and if the money needed to build it comes from abroad I feel sure, within the concept of mutual self interest, this can be achieved.
Protectionism is not a viable option in modern day society, whichever industry people are in, but perhaps as is the current focus of Dr Cable's attention in the development of government economic policy it will include joined up thinking in areas such as education, infrastructure, employment and planning.
Dr Cable then went on to state that he saw little merit in British Swadeshi, and in terms of international trade I would agree that the sum of the whole, in an international context, is much greater than its individual parts. However I imagine in line with government policy, localism, the decentralization /devolution of government and the organic development of clusters of various activities at a local level will inevitably provide the international community with significantly more parts to the whole, which perhaps will propel all nations, including the United Kingdom, who adopt the same model, into an age of socioeconomic and environmental equilibrium.
Finally Dr Cable went on to state that he wanted to see businesses in the United Kingdom that were socially responsible to customers, supply chains, workers and to the exchequer, by self regulation, by naming and shaming. I would add, naming and shaming, if it is to be effective in the world of classic capitalism, transparency and accountability must be part of this Process.
It was a good lecture and a shared vision for the future.
Where is the Gandhian Business Model?
by Antony Copley
No Gandhian could disagree with Vince Cable's interpretation of Gandhi's approach to economics as far as his lecture went. He stopped short of Gandhi's late visionary hopes for the Indian economy, one that was to be taken forward by the left Gandhians, J P Narayan and Vinobe Bhave. No doubt, however, it would be naïve to expect a Secretary of State for Business to move beyond the conventional paradigms of the market economy and the overriding importance of economic growth.
Cable led us through a perfectly plausible account of the way Gandhi had to work within the constraints of a colonial economy, rejecting laissez-faire, the imperial policy which of course advantaged British exports, and a nationalist demand for protectionism, the wish of Indian business interests to play a significant role in shaping Congress policy. This would shelter emergent indigenous capitalist growth, a protectionism most strikingly expressed in the doctrine of swadeshi, the clarion cry of the nationalist movement in its outraged rejection of the partition of Bengal in 1905. I'm not sure if Gandhi ever actually endorsed swadeshi, his concern being to protect artisan industry against both foreign and Indian factory production. I think Cable's may be special pleading in speculating that Gandhi would have gone along with a globalisation that saw Indian handloom products being sold as luxury items abroad. It would be interesting to read his exposition of this in a jointly authored book with Gandhian L C Jain. But one can agree that Gandhi would have rejected the economic nationalism of the Hindutva movement and the BJP, despite their claims that he was one of their own.
And of course he is surely right to argue that Gandhi engaged in this debate not so much as an economist, for he was no expert in this field, but as a moralist. His concerns were ethical. Cable overlooks the profound influence of John Ruskin's ideas on Gandhi, above all on the sacred nature of work. Here was one reason for Gandhi's championing of khadi, his high evaluation of the skills of artisan workers through his constructive programme. The relevant concept here is sarvodaya. It was a policy that did indeed look to the self-sufficiency of the village community. This was nothing to do with the highly regressive programme of autarchy pursued by the Axis powers and such latterday totalitarian states as North Korea. Cable, at the end, advocates forms of decentralisation and here he is seemingly on Gandhi's wavelength. But something much more far reaching than local autonomy is encompassed in Gandhi's vision.
Maybe this late Gandhian outlook was never coherently expressed, with his life so tragically cut short. The left Gandhians teased out the quasi-socialist implications of Gandhi's vision of a new social structure which would radiate outwards from the village, inspired by an oceanic, quasi-mystical sense. So Bhave took up a national crusade of land redistribution, the bhoodan movement, though this was to be on a voluntary basis, appealing to landlords to hand over land to the poor. Narayan of course moved into left-wing politics and was a critical figure in challenging Mrs Gandhi's increasingly autocratic rule that led to the Emergency regime of 1975-77. Sadly, Bhave and Narayan stood on different sides in that crisis. This possibly reflected the ambiguities in Gandhi's own outlook.
Arguably Gandhi's late vision represented a new paradigm on how the economy was to based. All along he had opposed the liberal capitalist insistence on growth above all. His was an economic vision of reaching out to abject levels of poverty but seeking no more than the meeting of basic human needs, a view that rejected a merely materialist approach and was inherently ascetic. This was the way of life in his ashrams. Really and truly here lay Gandhi's new business model and Cable was way off target. Are Gandhi's panchayats [small elected body governing a village] indeed so irrelevant?
When the banking crisis struck in 2010 many believed this exposed the inherently flawed nature of capitalism and the opportunity to move from its endlessly preached mantra of growth to an entirely new paradigm of a sustainable economy. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, wrote eloquently of the need to respect our environment and not to exploit and abuse its resources. Of course all this was to tap into a long lament on such abuse from Rachel Carson to James Lovelock and many others. All this has taken on a horrible urgency with the recognition of the threat from climate change. A recent article in the New Statesman by Naomi Klein, 'Science says: Revolt!' (25-31 October 2013) describes how leading scientists reinforce this search for a new paradigm, the way government see the revolutionary implications of this new paradigm and are trying to suppress the scientists, and the need for direct action. In this context the ideas of Gandhi, far from seeming utopian, have an all too urgent relevance.
The way the Gandhian ashram and panchayat have been brought up to date and prove that they are not pie in the sky is demonstrated in an astonishing experiment in Gandhian-style communitarian living in Andalucia. In 1979 one Sanchez Gordillo was the first elected mayor of the pueblo of Marinaleda, today with but 2,700 citizens. In 1980 he led a hunger strike 'against hunger'. In 1991 the 1,200 hectare El Humoso farm was taken over by the Marinaleda co-operative. It chose to develop an agriculture which maximised the use of labour and provide much needed employment. It was a rejection of a wheat based economy that used little labour and pursued mere economic efficiency. Profits of the co-operative are used to create ever newer employment. It is an anti-capitalist example which is catching on. Neighbouring Somante has set up its own co-operative on government owned land. Admittedly the Andalucian Workers Union were initially evicted in March 2012 but returned the next day and never left. Here, argues Dan Hancox, is just the kind of new economy that the indignados are seeking. (See his essay 'Since the Financial Crisis, the Spanish Economy has been on its Knees. But one Village Stood and Fought', The Observer 20/10/13 and his book The Village Against the World, Verso). Gandhi is certainly one source for Sanchez Gordillo's visionary new economy. (Others are Jesus Christ, Marx, Lenin, and Che Guevara.) Gandhi's attitude to labour, the need for both full employment and a shared labour within the community, is brilliantly realised in these two pueblos. It is of course equally a fulfilment of the ideals of Spanish anarchism.
Quite obviously Vince Cable could not have advocated such a radical new paradigm. He has no option but to stick with the mantra of growth. But here is in fact where a truly Gandhian business model lies.Antony Copley is an honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Kent and a Trustee of The Gandhi Foundation Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Gandhi Foundation.

First light this morning gave local residents and authorities a better look at the impact of the Wednesday's bedtime severe storms.
As the front passed through the area between 10:30 and 11 p.m., authorities received immediate reports of uprooted trees, blocked roads and damage along the Hardin-LaRue county line off Ky. 210. Damage occurred along Carter Brothers Road and National Weather Service officials are expected to inspect the area today.
Other initial reports led to first responders being deployed into the Rineyville area Wednesday night. Across Hardin and LaRue counties, residents discovered downed branches and other storm-related damage.
Utilities also received scattered reports of power outages during the height of the storm, which delivered high winds, heavy rain and frequent lightning strikes.
The storms hit after news deadlines for today's print edition of The News-Enterprise. Detailed coverage of the aftermath will appear in Friday's newspaper.
Community members are encouraged to share storm damage reports and photographs. Email reports and electronic images to email@example.com or call (270) 505-1764.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I've got a '73 benz AC system to re-install. It's all put in, and I think they originally used R14... I just need to connect the wire to it, and fill it up with refridgerant. Anyone know what I should use in this system? It doesn't leak or anything, but we had to pull it out to rewire and change the alternator. Thanks.
I installed two new compressors, and used R414 as an R12 replacement. Both compressors (in a row, on the same vehicle) failed within 24 hours of being installed. When The third compressor arrived, the only thing done differently was that the system was charged with R134A, and the compressor is still in service 4 years later.
I do prefer Duracool as an R12 replacement, and I have a significant amount of experience with it. I have used sveral other products, as well, but the Duracool seems to work the best. I prefer it to RedTek for the fact that is has an unpleasant odour, so if you have a leak, you won't confuse it for anything else. I runs lower head pressures than 134a, and needs less system charge (by weight) than both R12 & R134a. I have serviced hundreds of sytems, and have had none fail or operate poorly due to the refrigerant.
IMO, retrofitting to R134a will leave you dissapointed with your systems performance. After testing several retrofits, and brushing up on some pressure/temperature charts, I have drawn the conclusion that due to it's lower efficiency, R134a was not a good choice for installation in an R12 system. The condenser and evaporator do not have the physical size to cope with the higher pressures produced by R134a, and results are poor vent temperatures. Newer vehicles have engineered the A/C system components to compensate for this, and they work well.
you think this was due to the 416a or 414a refrigerant ? you like Duracool better than 416a or 414a ?
AFAIK, after 2001, it became illeagal to possess or install R12. R416 and R414 are acceptable repacements, however I have had two compressors fail (auto application) due to oil circulation issues. I'm not sure what the laws are in the USA, but here in Canada I use Duracool 12a. It is a hydrocarbon blend, and is a direct replacement.
Here is one discussion on the subject.
heck theres 2 refrigeration technicians / 1 and 2 man shops in my small town of 750 people. so finding a refrigerant technician / man should not be hard.
but 416a is more compatible with the R12 systems with out the retrofitting of R12 a/c systems and components, and another plus is 416a cools like R12. 8 out of 10 people that retrofit a R12 system over to a R134 system are not happy with the cooling. and retrofitting a R12 system isn't cheap. yes you would need a refrigeration man, Not a automotive a/c technician for any a/c work done on a system with 416a in it. (a system with 416a in it should be labeled clearly with a 416a refrigerant label for technicians to see) but a refrigeration man will know a/c systems better than the run of the mill R134 a/c technician will. I'm not putting down any R134a automotive a/c technician, but there just not trained like a refrigeration technician or do they deal with all the systems a refrigeration man does. the refrigeration man that was here said he carries 9 different refrigerants on his truck.
I have some R12 12oz cans to. my dad has a buddie that sells 10 cars a week to a couple Hispanic's/Mexicans that take the cars to Mexico and they can and will/do bring all the R12 12oz cans from mexico that my dads buddie wants. my dad is sitting on 4 or 5 cases too. he don't offer any R12 up, but he keeps me going on a as needed request only.
the refrigeration man that was here said that he thinks in 3 or 4 yrs all refrigerant in containers under 1lb will be sold over the counter w/out a license. except probably the R12 refrigerant .
you and others might not like the 416a refrigerant idea as a R12 replacement, but I do and just thought others might too. plus its just some more information on refrigeration and other refrigerant out there. he said theres a couple other refrigerant (but I forget the name/number of it) thats compatible with R12 system with out retrofitting the R12 systems, but he likes and has had best luck with the 416a refrigerant in all R12 systems and in automotive R12 systems.
|i have 5 cases of r-12 in one pound cans did not cost me nothen
In general, its a lot simpler if you stick with either R-12 or R-134a, because most AC places can recover and recharge both of them. R416A may work fine, but you will need to be prepared to do everything with your own equipment.
I checked an online store for the price of 30 lb cylinders of refrigerant:
R-134a - $199
This puts the cost of bulk R-134a at about $7/lb and bulk R-12 at about $21/lb. Since most systems won't need more than about 3-4 lbs of refrigerant, either choice is probably within a reasonable budget. However, I've found that most repair places don't stock R-12 anymore and may not be maintaining their R-12 recharge machine, since nearly all their business is with R-134a.
I had a refrigerant guy here charging my chest freezer. the freezer had R12 in it, (the chest freezer was built in 1985) he had to empty the freezers R12 (or just does cause you never know what else someone has put/mixed in a system, even if the refrigerants are compatible or not), and he vacuumed it down and put 416A refrigerant in it. he said 416A is compatible with R12 & R12 systems, but he don't like to mix refrigerants, compatible or not. because he don't know what the guy B4 or after him has done or mixed. (you have to have a license to buy 416A) but he said 416A has less head pressure than R134A and cools better than R134A especially in 100 degree days, it cools like the R12 refrigerant in the R12 systems. as he has used it in his dads tractors/combines and P/Us. 416A is not expensive like R12, you just need a refrigeration guy not a auto a/c man. he said auto a/c shops use R134 cause the auto industry recommends it and the auto a/c shops don't need to know the different refrigerants or refrigeration beyond R134.
I have two R12 systems left, and I will try 416A B4 retrofiring a R12 system to a R134a system. (R134a does not cool the best in a R12 system, even with the right components replaced) R134A is not a direct replacement for R12. with R134a into a R12 system you need to empty the R12 & change some R12 a/c system components and flush the R12 system & vacuum the system down B4 charging with R134a .
Why did the AC quit working? If was just a small leak, then you might want to evacuate, repair the leaking component, replace the accumulator, and refill with R12. R12 is more expensive than R134a, but its relatively cheap compared to the cost of AC parts and labor.
|you have to vacumm it all out.replace the seals because the r-134a and r-12 use different oils and seals.that is if you want it to last.
AC conversion
I've got an AC question. My '81 caddy hearse has the old R-12 ac system. Can I buy the conversion kit and just fill it with R-134, Or do I have to evacuate the system of all the R-12 first?? I'm wanting to get it working next spring. I'm used to AC in my semi, now I gotta get it working in my 4-wheeler...

According to signs contained in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) and in statements by Islamic scholars, the antichrist's material strength and his preparation of a climate in which people's earthly desires are met will enable his indoctrination of society to literally have a hypnotic effect on the greater part of society. The antichrist will reinforce this hypnotic effect with a great many other elements. The minds of those people who ignorantly fall under the spell of the transitory opportunities offered by the antichrist, and who repress the voices of their consciences in favor of their earthly passions, will in one sense pass under the total control of the antichrist. The antichrist will reinforce this control he has over people with radio and television broadcasts, with information in newspapers and magazines, and sometimes through cassettes, books and films. Using all these different means, together with a variety of styles, vocabulary, grammar and techniques, he will install the same ideas in people's subconscious minds. In this way, people will forget about the existence of Allah, the Day of Judgment, the proximity of death and the existence of Paradise and Hell, and will be led instead to earthly desires and consumption of the joys of this world.
It needs to be made clear here that the fact that the antichrist uses such means of communication as radio, television, newspapers and magazines in no way means that these are entirely set aside as vehicles for diverting people from the right path. Many honest people with excellent moral virtues working in these fields are making great efforts to inform society and lead people in the direction of good. However, this does not alter the fact that the antichrist will also employ those same vehicles for different purposes.
One of the antichrist's main objectives is to use all these means at his disposal to lead people to live improper lives. Decorative clothing, showy homes, luxury cars and fine foods and drinks are all used in the light of that objective. People are made to long to possess such things, but this then assumes the form of a passion and obtaining them becomes their only aim. All these things, which are a blessing when desired and used for Allah's approval, may also become means whereby people are turned away from the true path. Every road taken in order to obtain these is depicted as legitimate. In this climate in which multi-faceted earthly desires are addressed, those who are unable to obtain them because they lack sufficient means are encouraged to resort to illegitimate routes. People are taught these by way of artificial news reports, or sometimes in soap operas, or films, or novels. Means by which they can come by this corrupt lifestyle they are made to long for are constantly described to such people through constantly renewed indoctrination.
While all this is going on, measures are also taken to prevent people thinking honestly. While people are encouraged towards illegitimate pleasures, desires and demands on the one hand, their minds are confused on the other in order to stop them becoming aware of the truth, and great care is taken to prepare a climate in which they are unable to think in a healthy manner. The hypnosis is thus constantly renewed. This hypnosis takes place by degrees. Music with a fixed beat, for instance, may be used as a way of reinforcing this hypnosis. The brain is weakened and made unable to think through music blaring out at high volume, with the same rhythm and beat. Without their being aware of it, people close their attention to everything else. Horror films and thrillers can also leave people prone to indoctrination and suggestion by weakening their nerves and will.
Believers with a sincere faith in Allah and who hope to attain Paradise, however, are never deceived by such wide-ranging propaganda and indoctrination, and are unaffected by the danger they pose.
People who lack a proper fear of Allah, and whose minds and faith are weak, can easily be hypnotized by the antichrist. Sentences squeezed into a film screenplay, momentary, subliminal images in the course of an advertisement, or ideas expressed in a song can easily have a negative effect on such people. Just a single image that a person is generally unaware of, or a single sentence, can have a major effect in hypnosis. One striking example of this is the way that following a song that extols suicide, a large number of people actually attempt to take their own lives.
Repetition is very important in this technique that the antichrist will use to establish a hypnotic influence over people. The constant portrayal of evil as something good and good constantly being depicted as evil is indicated in the hadiths as being one of the antichrist's major and frequently employed tactics. The antichrist will use this tactic particularly against people whom he fears will unmask his true face. People who fear Allah, who believe in Him with a genuine faith and who call on people to adhere to proper moral values represent a grave danger to the antichrist. Frequently repeated indoctrination from various sources will thus be brought to bear against such people. This will reach such a state that people will come to believe everything they hear, without thinking or once analyzing the information offered to them, and generally without even feeling the need to ask for any evidence.
Since the antichrist will engage in all this indoctrination in a climate well suited to people's lower selves, this will prevent them from seeing the fitnah of the antichrist and enable them to more easily submit to the indoctrination to which they are exposed. Due to the hypnotic effect established over them, in such a climate that satisfies their earthly passions they will regard all talk against religion and Muslims as highly legitimate and believe it unreservedly.
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi also draws attention to this environment that will emerge with the indoctrination by the antichrist, and warns all Muslims against this effect that will "create bewilderment":
But in these stormy times, currents which numb the senses and scatter man's attention on peripheral matters, plunging him into them, have deadened his senses and bewildered him. As a result of this the people of misguidance are temporarily unable to feel the spiritual torment. Even the people of guidance are overwhelmed by heedlessness and cannot truly appreciate its true pleasures. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Rays, p. 678)
Another important matter that Bediuzzaman emphasizes in this passage is "currents which numb the senses and scatter man's attention on peripheral matters," in other words the existence of movements that distract people's attention away from vital issues towards trivial ones. However, one of the main dangers in this period will be the way that people are reluctant to defend the truth, some because of the circumstances in question and others due to being caught up in heedlessness or because of worries and disquiet. The great Islamic scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has stated that avoiding this situation, which he describes as "even the people of guidance are overwhelmed by heedlessness," is the duty of all Muslims. In his works, Bediuzzaman also indicates the role that certain media vehicles will play in the establishment of the hypnosis in question:
... Every morning and evening they report and teach one another sins and useless things in the newspapers. Because of this pleasure-obsessed civilization, the curtain of heedlessness has become so thick, and its clarity has become so befogged with its baubles and fantasies that it can literally no longer be torn aside. (Masnawi, p. 246)
In these words Bediuzzaman Said Nursi is referring to the manipulative effect of indoctrination by means of the press and publishing. The hypnotic effect caused by indoctrination reaching a scale that almost can no longer be eradicated is an important feature of the End Times. By the will of Allah, however, this veil of heedlessness will be completely lifted as a result of the second coming of the Prophet Jesus (as) and the great intellectual struggle to be waged by Hazrat Mahdi (as), and the hypnotic effect that keeps people from the truth and what is right will be lifted, and the moral values of the Qur'an will prevail over all the world.

Ex-nurse sentenced in murder plot
(Cleveland) – A federal judge sentenced 23 year old Andrew Martin to twelve years in prison. The former Cleveland Clinic nurse will also pay $84,000 restitution for trying to steal a house and murder its owner.
Martin admitted offering $10,000 to an E.R. patient to kill a Lakewood woman. He'll also serve three years' probation when released.
According to prosecutors...Martin, got together with David Simons, who had done occasional carpentry work for home owner George Warehime.
Warehime died December 4, 2010, at the age of 83. The administrator of his estate, sister Joy Comey put his house up for sale and found buyer.
Martin and Simons claimed Warehime had deeded the house to them without cost. It was valued at $193,000. Prosecutors contend, that's when martin conspired to have Comey killed.

What a pathetic effort by Michigan, Henne, and their vaunted Defense. AppSt. played like a I-AA team in the second half and Michigan still handed it to them on a platter.
What a pathetic effort by Michigan, Henne, and their vaunted Defense. AppSt. played like a I-AA team in the second half and Michigan still handed it to them on a platter.
i love this kinda stuff as a die hard buckeye fan anytime michigan loses it should be a national holiday. Lloyd Carr better go under the witness protection agency.
lol @ Michigan
You have to love as a 4 year starter at the most importatnt position, QB, Henne wasn't even voted as team captain! Lloyd may want to put in some applications at some of the smaller colleges. He'd be a king at Sinclair Community College.
Are Buckeye fans still aloud to comment this year?
As a Buckeye fan, I must say today was awesome.....OSU does what it needs to do in punishing an overmatched in-state school...and the school up north tanks biiiiiig time...the only drawback is this will lead to Lloyd Carr's eventual firing and Jim Tressel will lose his personal punching bag......GO BUCKS
LOL! Will UM ever win again? Lose at OSU, lose to USC in the Rose Bowl, lose to Appalachian State. Bad times in Ann Arbor.
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
What a wonderful sight!
I see I have about 4 Big Ten Network channels on my Directv. Why so many channels for an inferior league? If App State can beat them? lol
This only means that somehow, someway U of M will beat tOSU.
It doesn't make sense, but neither does Appalachian State beating U of M.

In today's column, we find ourselves back on the alphabetical tour of fruits and vegetables with the letter S, focusing on one very popular vegetable.
That vegetable is squash. If it's not already in your garden, maybe it will be.
Squash is in the gourd family, with two categories, winter and summer squash. Winter squash come in many shapes and colors. The different varieties of winter squash may be substituted for each other in many squash recipes. Winter squash are packed with antioxidants and vitamins. Types most familiar to you are acorn, butternut, spaghetti and Hubbard. Summer squash have two very popular varieties, summer crookneck and zucchini.
I have a recipe for two winter squash and two summer squash. Zucchini doesn't have to solely be turned into zucchini bread or cake. Hopefully, you will have some squash maturing very soon in your garden. If not, summer squash are readily available at farmer's markets and local groceries.
Acorn Squash Butter
3 acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
12-ounce can frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fill two 9" x 13" baking dishes with 1 inch of water each. Place three acorn squash halves cut-side down into each baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is very tender and the skin begins to separate from the meat, about 1 hour. Remove squash and set aside until cool enough to handle. Discard the water.
Scoop the acorn squash flesh from the skins and into a blender. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Puree until thick and smooth. Scrape the squash into a heavy-bottom pot and stir in the brown sugar and apple juice concentrate. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until thickened, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before packing into freezer-safe containers. Store in the freezer up to 6 months.

Sweet Hubbard Squash Custard Pie
2 1/2 pounds Hubbard squash, cut into chunks and seeds removed
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange squash on lined baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until the skin is browned and flesh is tender, about 45 minutes; let cool before handling. Remove flesh from skin using a spoon. Reduce temperature setting on oven to 375 degrees.
Place 2 cups of squash in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the brown sugar, eggs, cream, apple pie spice, salt and butter; process until smooth. Pour the squash mixture into the pie crust. Bake until the filling rises, about 1 hour.

Zucchini Tomato Bake
Cooking spray
1 pound sliced zucchini
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 1/4 pounds sliced vine-ripened tomatoes
1/2 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 2-quart shallow baking dish with cooking spray and alternately layer sliced zucchini, corn kernels and sliced tomatoes. Combine Panko and Parmesan; sprinkle on top. Bake, uncovered, in the center of oven for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes more or until vegetables are tender. Serve immediately.

Nora's Note: Panko is located in the same aisle of the grocery that bread crumbs, cornmeal, etc. are located. They are used in Japanese cooking and make a delicious crumb coating for meat and fish.
Breaded and Baked Zucchini Crisps
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 clove mashed garlic
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine egg, milk and garlic in a shallow dish and set aside for about 15 minutes to let flavors combine. Combine bread crumbs, cheese, parsley and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip zucchini slices into egg mixture, then into crumbs and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn over and bake for 5 minutes more or until brown and crispy.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Feeling hopeful
Thank you everyone! I have an appointment with my vet tomorrow to discuss trying the Tylan powder. I will also ask about probiotics. The vet had mentioned them a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have them in stock. I will keep working! And I will let you know what happens. I am grateful for all of the advice and suggestions.
|digestive enzymes, probiotics, essential fatty acids, good clean bioavailable protein , exercise
It sounds like SIBO. I would treat with Tylan and hopefully that will help. Also get him on a really good probiotic.
Thanks for taking this guy in!
This sounds like a very similar situation to my own dog. I have a thread about it you can read through here:
My dog was not losing hair, although his coat was very dull, and he often refused food. We eventually did the biopsies and he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease similar to Crohn's.
We went through lots of meds and food types over a period of about six months. He got to the point where he refused any and every type of kibble. He never refused raw but his stools did not improve with raw, nor did his discomfort after eating. I eventually cooked for him, chicken and white potato. We tried metronidazole (flagyl), doxycycline, doxy/flagyl together, prednisone, then prednisolone, etc. I eventually switched him to Tylan after several people here on the forums recommended it, although it did not alleviate the problem. We also tried a holistic approach for a time.
After six months of this we consulted with a GI specialist, had the biopsies done, and the specialist recommended chlorambucil (leukeran). It is an immunosuppressant. Between chlorambucil and Tylan, and continuing to cook chicken and potato, he finally improved. Over a span of about eight weeks, he put on 11 pounds, and is now at a healthy weight, and no longer has diarrhea. After he gained weight I slowly switched him from home cooked to canned chicken and rice, and he has done fine on it. He still cannot digest kibble properly.
He no longer refuses meals, ever, is the perfect weight, and has even more energy than before.
I would recommend trying Tylan, as it has worked for MANY dogs on this forum to help clear up diarrhea problems, especially colitis (large bowel diarrhea). For small bowel diarrhea it sometimes is not as effective. If that doesn't work, consider seeing a GI specialist. It would be an expensive visit, but they will be able to get at the heart of the problem more easily than a general practitioner. Our general vet told us she never would have considered chlorambucil for him, and that is the thing that has made all the difference for him.
Good luck. Keep us posted.
|Could it be that your dog just can handle kibble or digest and absorb the nutrients due to previous lifestyle? You may want to look into a food like The Honest Kitchen.
I had a rescued male GSD with similar chronic diarrhea and the diagnosis that we got, by default pretty much, was small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO. Before scheduling a colonoscopy and biopsy, my vet gave his blessing to trying Tylan powder. It worked wonderfully and got his diarrhea under control which got his weight back. My boy was 30 inches tall and only 70 pounds when he was seized by animal control officers for neglect. When I lost him due to a spinal cord tumor, he was 94 pounds and looked so good.
Tylan powder is sold in some feed stores and also on-line by Amazon.com. It is very bitter, so I had to hide his dose (1/4 teaspoon twice daily) in empty gelatin capsules that I bought at a health food store. Each capsule would hold 1/8 teaspoon. My solution for filling the capsules was a cake decorating tip set and used these as a small funnel. Once he stabilized, we decreased his dose down to 1/8 teaspoon twice daily. If it went any lower or just once per day, the diarrhea returned. The container of Tylan filled nearly 300 capsules.
In addition, it does sound as though your boy may have some food sensitivies and I would suggest trying a limited ingredient or grain-fee dog food. It really is trial and error and can be very frustrating. Fish and oatmeal kibble worked for my GSD and a venison and brown rice formula worked for another dog of mine that came down with GI issues near the end of her life. You can add some zinc tablets to his daily regimen and fish oil capsules may help too.
This can be a frustrating road to travel on, but there are many people on here with experience.
|Shot in the dark, but what about allergies? Some food allergies can be very severe... other than that I have no guesses, but I hope he feels better
Chronic Diarrhea and Fur Loss
Marco is a 2-3 year-old GSD with chronic diarrhea. He also has "dandruff" and is losing lots of fur. I got him 3 months ago from my neighbor. Marco was tied outside and fed scraps. I constantly told them to feed him more and take him to the vet. Finally, they just gave him to me. I took him to the vet: got all of his shots, started him on metronidazole and Science Diet I/D. Things improved slightly, and then regressed when we finished the metronidazole. So started with the metronidazole again, but this time it did not work. He started losing weight, fur, and developed the excessive dandruff. The vet did blood work, tested for parasites: no parasites or infection found. So we wormed him again anyway. No improvement, so we tested for giardia and EPI. Those tests came back negative as well. We switched Marco to Science Diet Z/D and sulfasalazine. He is eating with no problem and has great energy and a wonderful, playful personality. He is just not putting on any weight, has constant diarrhea, and his skin is not improving. At this rate, I fear he will be bald and malnourished. The next step is endoscopy but my vet bill is already sky high, and the procedure is very expensive. From my understanding, the procedure will just tell us the name of his problem, but we will still have trial and error to find the right treatment. Has anyone gone through this? What did you do with your dog that worked?

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has criticized the previous government of John Howard for failure to stand up for gay rights, but, apparently, the same holds true for his government. Chief Minister John Stanhople launched a scathing attack on the Rudd government for its opposition to the ACT Government's Civil Unions Bill which recognizes gay and lesbian relationships. The Attorney General said its policy regarding gays and lesbians was based on the national policy platform , "not the views of any particular lobby or group." Mr. Rudd had previously stated last year his belief gay and lesbian rights should be left to states but now it appears there has been a rather interesting turn around by the Rudd government.
The Australian Christian Lobby issued a statement praising the prime minister for opposing gay marriage. The only bright news from the Rudd government is its decision to remove provisions in existing laws which allow discrimination against gays and lesbians.

One thing about oil trays that you need to keep in mind that they make great traps for the bees, especially when the bees are bearding during the night. Be sure they are bee tight. I make mine out of the 20" aluminum or galvanized steal that comes in 50 foot rolls for putting in roof valleys. The steal is better because it is stiffer. Jim
Jim, I wish I had the equipment to work with sheet metal. That makeshift tray shown a few messages above was made from one of the "hand crimpers"...that was just too much work there for the hands...a good metal brake would be nice!!! It was #26 roofing metal.Ed

Bryce Beall Scouting Report
|Houston Cougars
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'11 - 215 lbs.
|Draft Prediction:
2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Bryce Beall, RB, Houston
Beall looks the part of a running back. He's thick in his lower body and has a muscular frame. However, he lacks speed and runs stiff with an upright gait. Houston used the shotgun formation a lot and while Beall does have plenty of experience running in front of a zone-blocking scheme, there's nothing that jumps out on tape when you watch him run.
Beall can't make players miss routinely. He struggles to quickly process what the defense is doing pre-snap in order to find the correct running lanes. When moving through the line of scrimmage, minimal contact slows him down and can often bring him down. At times, he does play with good leverage, but is too inconsistent with his pad level for such a sub-par athlete.
He looks the part, but there is very little chance Beall is drafted in the 2012 NFL Draft.
1 Comment | Add Yours
Bryce Beall will be a real good #2 RB in the Pros. When he learns to pickup the blitz and catch the ball out of the backfield he could be really impressive.

But it gets worse, what solid peer reviewed science do they cite for support? A heavily-criticised blog posting showing that there are bi-decadal periods in climate data and that this proves it was the sun wot done it. The work of an award-winning astrologer (one Theodor Landscheidt, who also thought that the rise of Hitler and Stalin were due to cosmic cycles), a classic Courtillot paper we've discussed before, the aforementioned FoS web page, another web page run by Doug Hoyt, a paper by Garth Paltridge reporting on artifacts in the NCEP reanalysis of water vapour that are in contradiction to every other reanalysis, direct observations and satellite data, a complete reprint of another un-peer reviewed paper by William Gray, a nonsense paper by Miskolczi etc. etc. I'm not quite sure how this is supposed to compete with the four rounds of international scientific and governmental review of the IPCC or the rounds of review of the CCSP reports….
They don't even notice the contradictions in their own cites. For instance, they show a figure that demonstrates that galactic cosmic ray and solar trends are non-existent from 1957 on, and yet cheerfully quote Scafetta and West who claim that almost all of the recent trend is solar driven! They claim that climate sensitivity is very small while failing to realise that this implies that solar variability can't have any effect either. They claim that GCM simulations produced trends over the twentieth century of 1.6 to 3.74ºC – which is simply (and bizarrely) wrong (though with all due respect, that one seems to come directly from Mr. Gregory). Even more curious, Carlin appears to be a big fan of geo-engineering, but how this squares with his apparent belief that we know nothing about what drives climate, is puzzling. A sine qua non of geo-engineering is that we need models to be able to predict what is likely to happen, and if you think they are all wrong, how could you have any faith that you could effectively manage a geo-engineering approach?
Finally, they end up with the oddest claim in the submission: That because human welfare has increased over the twentieth century at a time when CO2 was increasing, this somehow implies that no amount of CO2 increases can ever cause a danger to human society. This is just boneheadly stupid.
So in summary, what we have is a ragbag collection of un-peer reviewed web pages, an unhealthy dose of sunstroke, a dash of astrology and more cherries than you can poke a cocktail stick at. Seriously, if that's the best they can do, the EPA's ruling is on pretty safe ground.
If I were the authors, I'd suppress this myself, and then go for a long hike on the Appalachian Trail….

|Product Type
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas™ help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, we evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Our line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Our nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for WellnessSM is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.
